I believe is because of the nature "for profit" of mass media. Behind every news piece theres some economic interest. Somebody is selling or buying some narrative.

The lack of coronavirus can be caused by the lack of "patrons", people that are activelly selling it or buying it.

Kind of how game journalist only report about AAA games, because have many million dollars on marketing, while they ignore most indies where theres no money.

Well the implication is that that person caught it on the ship. It seems that they only tested 20 sick people on the ship for ncov

https://twitter.com/ChristinaKerby/status/1227985218356875264?s=19

They all tested negative so either the tests were faulty, or the people who had it were asymptomatic and thus weren't tested

They probably kept the sick people in quarantine, ironically protecting them from the virus!

If the Princess Diamond is a good example, at least a hundred people with the early stages of the disease just got off that ship.

An 80-90% mortality rate is way loving scarier from a personal psychological level ("What if I get it?"), even if the aggregate shittiness of the coronavirus is worse for society as a whole due to much higher transmission and ease of spread.

Ebola is much more a "horror movie death" so I can understand the sentiment. Like Contagion is a very good movie but it can't sacre people shitless.

Okay, the reinfection thing is the scariest part about this so far if it's confirmed. Surviving a 1 or 2 % mortality risk is obviously very likely, even if it's not a gauntlet you'd like to run if you can avoid it, but having to do so multiple times, particularly if the odds get worse, is massively different.

Those daily new confirmed numbers from that dead cruise are basically 60-70 everyday. This is clearly the limit of how fast Japan can test the suspected cases. We already know family members of the confirmed patients have to wait 4-5 days for their own tests.

So if we take this infection rate

and apply it to this ship

https://twitter.com/business/status/1228856031276564481?s=20

That means that there are likely at least 200 cases walking around in Cambodia, Malaysia, and elsewhere, plus however many got infected via recirculated air on those flights

The odds only get worse if you took those specific drugs. If you recovered by yourself there shouldn't be a difference.

okay yeah, that is by far the first time since this started that I went "oh poo poo". the fact you can seemingly almost immediately get reinfected being the big one. i'm not even sure what meds they're talking about and if it's only exclusive to that.
