Well Ankerson I think you're on to something. Things have already gotten worse than I thought that they would. I got a feeling that the virus won't be confined to mainland China. I got a gut feeling that it will be all over Southeast Asia if it keeps spreading at this rate.
This may just be a test or sampler for a bigger and worse virus to grow legs. The thought of biological warfare truly does give me the creeps in many ways. Another thing that has been in the back of my brain for some time now. I don't think that the US government ever found out what GulF War Syndrone really was :confused:

No need to worry yet...
Give it another month or two...
We do have enough time to get things we might need in that time, sooner the better however as things might start getting hard to find.
Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA
Just heard on the radio driving home, a Chinese national on holidays and infected caught a flight domestically here in Oz and authorities are trying to contact over two hundred passengers that where on the same flight.

Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA
China said before like 1 million people actually traveled and left the China before they knew about the Virus...
So who knows.
Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA
Taking China’s population into account a million travellers sounds a little light on, ay?

Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA
Haven’t had the chance to read through this thread, just a quick post to say I spoke to a bloke today who has family in China and according to them, things are far more serious over there than is being reported in the media. At least in the Australian media.

Another resource to follow (https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps ... 7b48e9ecf6). Interesting here is that, as of yesterday, we have 7,783 cases globally, 170 have died, AND 133 have totally recovered...

Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA
The recovery vs death rate is better today than yesterday. That's a trend to hope for.Ankerson wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 10:47 amwrdwrght wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 10:40 amAnother resource to follow (https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps ... 7b48e9ecf6).

Should be around 10K or more infected by the end of today if the pattern holds.
Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA
Wouldn't be surprised. It will be interesting to see if the rate of increase is similar for deaths and recoveries.Ankerson wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 10:54 amwrdwrght wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 10:52 amThe recovery vs death rate is better today than yesterday.

Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA
I am still waiting for when the numbers of infected to skyrocket..
Shouldn't be too much longer before that starts to happen.
Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA
Keep an eye on Tokyo, Japan...
VERY high population density....

The flu spreads like it does every year because MOST people don't get the flu shot. Then they go to work, send their kids to school etc when they are sick and spread it around. Basic stupidly and complete idiocy, and why something like the Corona Virus will spread like mad, it's just starting... :rolleyes:
The flu has an R-O of 1...
The Corona Virus is an R-O of 2-3 so far..
Both the CDC and WHO are telling people to get the freaking flu shot.....
Re: Corona Virus, Chinese Origin, Now In the USA
I get mine every year. I also recently got my Hep A and B shots, as well as my MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) follow-ups. I got my measles shots as a kid, but they tested me and and found it was weak, so I got my booster for it. If there's a chance to safely lower my risk for something common like that, I'm taking it.Ankerson wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 11:23 amwrdwrght wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 10:48 amYup.
