not by *rate* but it's probable that it matches it by actual total count.

nCoV is like waaaay more infectious than SARS, it's actually remarkable. In all my life I'm having trouble thinking of a comparable virus that's had this amount of infectiousness.

Chicken pox before the vaccine had an R0 of 4-5

Before the vaccine you kinda just waited until you got it then got a week off school.

I got chickenpox in the mid 90s cuz we were too poor to afford the vaccine so my mom just had the rest of my siblings all get it from me and we just kinda hung around the house for half a month while everyone went through it

OK, let me clarify, poo poo like measles and the common flu that's hyper infectious, I just basically write off in my mind because I'm an American who was born in the mid 80s and I basically don't consider anything with sub-1% mortality to be real people because I'm insanely hyper racist

But something that explodes to five digits in a month with 2.5% mortality oh baaaay-bee

I'm pretty sure Measels had a nine digit kill count.

No a bat ate some food, dropped some of the food in a pig pen, pig ate the food, pig gets picked up to get taken to a casino, pig gets processed for human consumption, no one washed the pig, everyone kissed the pig, and now the pig owns the casino.

The pig sneezes and spits on everyone giving them the flu.

Someone on the plane must be coughing up a storm for them to make this decision while the flight's still in the air.

You can track the flight here by the way:

It landed in march and went back to seattle? Lmao if they didn't disinfect it before its next flight. (you can't look up what the same plane after that flight on the website provided)

Hopefully the virus isn't stashing away new mutation points from these infections.

We can all learn from our past mistakes.


quote:

Earlier reports from Chinese health authorities and the World Health Organization had said the first patient had onset of symptoms on 8 December 2019—and those reports simply said “most” cases had links to the seafood market, which was closed on 1 January.
I'm not too sure why statistics from China through the filter of the CCP are trusted considering the past with SARS. There are probably way more people infected that the official numbers.

Viruses are really alive. The GBS thread went over this. A "good" post described them a predatory chemistry.

if its not contained it wont be too long before its everywhere and no longer a Chinese thing, so this will last a few weeks at most
But viral infections can cause brain damage through secondary health effects. That never goes as demonstrated by general posting behaviour in the forums.

Serious question though:
Does north korea have significant traffic of chinese citizens? Are they the true madagascar in this scenario?
