What are your thoughts on the Kung Flu?

What a shitty edgelord take this is.

The fact that I had to search the internet to find out what an "Edgelord" even is. ......

Far from anything to worry about.

Agree. Media stirring the pot. The flu has killed 8000 this year. Who knows how many from the Man Cold. We have a long way to go.

How about was this man made and if so how did it get out?

Lab-Made Coronavirus Triggers Debate

The creation of a chimeric SARS-like virus has scientists discussing the risks of gain-of-function research.

Edgelord!!!!!! How dare you think that this evilness could be man made and thinksome kind of monster would let it out?!?!

I do love a good conspiracy!!

I find it interesting that ground zero is 20 miles from the lab that houses this stuff.

 

[HuntInWild88]

On a serious note...it is very plausible that because of the delayed symptoms some one could have been exposed went through a small quarantine time and let it out unknowingly. Especially if this is something completely new with out alot of testing. Im sure there are very strick processes in place to prevent this.. but anything is possible.

Not going to lie when i read Kung Flu i chuckled

I think the Chinese know more then they are saying or why would there be 42 million people locked down with shoot to kill orders for anyone trying to leave. Also heard the death toll doubled again.

This is very early in the stages of this virus, only been a few weeks or it’s only been in the news for a few weeks, either way it’s not been long. 6 months from now there may be 42 million dead in China.

I read that N95 masks are unavailable on Amazon and in a lot of retail locations. I was in a Home Depot yesterday and one lady was buying all the 95 masks they had left and another guy was checking out with a whole cart full of them. Nothing like cashing in on a pandemic - disgusting.

I read somewhere that the N95 mask isn't going to help. Not sure if that is true but the hysteria is real.

I saw China has started construction of a 1000 bed hospital to be completed in 6 days! I imagine it is worse than they are saying.

As far as my monkey brain can figure it is just a matter of time before another bad virus gets started that modern medicine can't catch up with. Most people interact with infinitely more people on average than in the days of the plague or Spanish flu. I'm not even convinced most people are healthier today than in those days.

Where was it reported that there was a shoot to kill order?

There is a link in this thread to that report.

IF what I read is true, the commonly available 3M type masks will not help much. This virus can be transferred via mucous membranes, like your eyes.

Sorry to hear that middle age has taken you.
I however am shedding the skin of middle age by not looking this up.
Take that, worsening eyesight!!

The fact that this is reported to be transmitted before symptoms are present for up to 3 weeks and we in the US have how many identified with it that have possibly exposed thousands to a virus that us reported to be 30% more transmittable than the flu equates to a very possible pandemic.

They are evacuating 200 Americans with a stop over in for fuel in Anchorage this week, I sure hope they test them good but with no symptoms showing up for a few weeks could be risky

CHINA BARRICADING PEOPLE ** IN ** INFECTED CITIES! Roads being Blocked with Piles of Dirt, Phone Lines off, Hospitals OUT of Supplies

As of 5:30 PM eastern US time Friday, January 24, 2020, about 46 MILLION people in 16 cities in China, are under LOCKDOWN Quarantine, as a new virus...

halturnerradioshow.com

Take it FWIW, but if it can be spread for almost two weeks when people have zero symptoms, I'm a little spooked.

Jeezus, what a load of crap that website is.. Bunch of fear mongering propaganda....

 

[Beendare]

Straight from the CDC a Dr Dena (something)
1. China is not being honest about the severity of this virus
2. This virus has the double whammy- very communicable AND deadly.
Good stuff on the CDC page


i think this virus has more to do withmillions in close proximity to farm animals and their culture of eating weird stuff like bat soup.

Is it fear mongering or do you just not want to accept that this is possible at this point in our history? Pretty crazy they wouldn’t allow the CDC to help.

 

[Deplorable77]

I'm not worried about it. It was made in China so it probably won't last very long before it breaks.
