viruses arent alive. without the presence of a host cell they have the machinery to do nothing on their own

By that definition, are parasites that require a host to survive not alive? There are several more complex organisms like worms like that.

This is fun. It gives me something to do while I hack my lungs out.
no not according to what i said at all. parasites can wriggle around looking for a host. they probably get a little nutrition where they can on the way. a virus doesnt do anything

There are some parasites that can't get nutrition along the way. They must have a host. And are you saying viruses can't move?
it doesnt matter if a parasite requires a specific host. they have function
no a virus cannot move itself. viruses are incapable of that. they are basically inert until they haphazardly encounter the right conditions to inject their genetic info

I'm pretty sure that diseases, by definition, don't tend to spread by neat additions of 2,000 to 3,000 cases per day, generally.

it doesnt sound very appreciative of the stunningly woke and insightful posters who have "informed" us again and again and again that the numbers china officially reports are probably downplayed from what might otherwise be reported :monocle:

Look dude they've read several articles including "disease" and "epidemiology" on wikipedia they're not QUITE as qualified as somebody who got a master's degree if not a doctorate and however many years of experience but it's close enough that they can draw similar conclusions and makes similar predictions and furthermore fart fart fart.
i just cant pinpoint who theyre arguing with that is apparently saying the reported numbers are definitely in no way downplayed. but im sure that person must exist because someone keeps spurring those people to post against him

The best thing about masks is they stop people from spreading the disease, not that they are 100% guaranteed to prevent you from contracting it. Like every time you cough or sneeze the mask filters most of the droplets containing the virus, so they end up on your face instead of floating around in the air.
i hope someone is noting things like this for when its time to make a coronavirus on tour thread

wuhan was the better descriptor anyway. and a good reminder that the virus that apparently survives on surfaces for hours supposedly originated down the road from that biolab
