International Coronavirus, v5: China hits back at American "coronavirus overreaction", issue travel warning for US

[Overtures]

All I’m saying is that money for the wall needs to be redirected


Besides ain’t no Mexicans coming over here because ain’t no Asians going to Mexico

 

[86'd]

I doubt that very much.

Based upon what?

Mad cow disease?

Swine flu?

Avian flu?

Ebola?

I am allowed doubt you can’t be certain of anything...

That goes both ways

But based upon these other recent high profile “epidemic” cases I’d say history is on my side.

2% mortality rate

As of right now the common flu is far deadlier yet where’s the sensationalism for that?

I just saw on maddow that trump disbanded the entire pandemic response team in 2018 and never replaced them. Fucking hell.

This virus will be forgotten by spring

Let's put some money where your mouth is, shall we?

Each of us send $100 to @irish_thug for escrow, if this virus is indeed forgotten by March 19, 2020, the day Spring starts, you win the bet. If it doesn't, I win.

Same bet is open to any other members of the clueless "nothing to see here" brigade who, for some bizarre reasons, is trying to downplay the epidemic that Asian countries are struggling hard to contain and has just now begun spreading to Europe and the Middle East. You know who you are.

The calmed & informed faction can get in on this action too, since it's free money.

If you don't have the guts to back up your ridiculous claim, simply shut up and go away, and leave this serious discussion to the informed adults, who actually pay attention to what's happening each day.

How bout the month of May?

And to be more through, if you find some story about it in some bum fuck country or in China yet, that doesn’t count as evidence that it’s still prevalent

I’m game for that. Don’t be scared Just The Flu Bros.

This is the most believable reason for how it happened

Much like how Lyme disease happened

 

[ElKarlo]

I have a buddy addicted to video games and this virus is really enabling his addiction. He says anyone still going outside at this point is just risking their life.

I'm on to much with this Corona news. But screens basically ruin your life. Dude might be ok now but it'll impact him

 

[ShinkanPo]

Putting all of your eggs in one basket is a plan for failure.

Hunsen of Cambodia did just that!

Since when does Spring starts in May for us?

How about we will keep the bet on the exact term that you so confidently announced: it "will be forgotten BY Spring", which is by the date of March 19, 2020.

Either put up or shut up. Everybody are watching, so don't back-pedal now.

I’m game for that. Don’t be scared Just The Flu Bros.

Sweet! Now let's see if @86'd is gutsy enough to take up both bets. Other "Just the Flu" bros can join in the fun too ofcourse!

Yeah exactly, some will say they are “down “ for that bet but nobody will follow through. For reference SARS was in 2003 and it still hasn’t been forgotten or even gone entirely so his statement of forgotten by spring is completely stupid.

Just tell him he has no fucking life.

Risk level = minimal

Month of May sound good to you?

Also we’ll need stipulations on what qualifies as “still prevalent”

You’re a little research dweeb that finds stories left and right. Like I said I wouldn’t consider that as reverent

And May is still spring so suck on it

This study of 50k cases has mortality rate at 4.8%. It's not peer reviewed yet.
Also, 14.8% with ARDS? Holy fuck...you don't survive that shit without medical care.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.18.20024539v1
Results: 9 studies were included in Meta-analysis, including a total of 50404 patients with 2019-nCoV infection.According to Meta-analysis, among the clinical characteristics of patients with 2019-nCoV infection, the incidence of fever is 90.9% , the incidence of cough is 70.8%, and the incidence of muscle soreness or fatigue is 41%.

Much like how Lyme disease happened

"No worries sherdoggers, it's simply a lab-created super virus!"

Also, source for lyme being lab-created?

My mom's been affected by lyme since '09 or so; what makes you think lab-created symdromes are nothing to worry about?

 

[86'd]

Yeah exactly, some will say they are “down “ for that bet but nobody will follow through. For reference SARS was in 2003 and it still hasn’t been forgotten or even gone entirely so his statement of forgotten by spring is completely stupid.

And this is my point entirely. Sure sars is still around but what impact does it truly have?

My point is this is being hyped up over the top as of right now. The hype of it will die.

Same as it did for all the other diseases I included.

Do you see Lyme disease affecting the stock market? Or influenza which is as of right now more deadly.

Well that's why we got a Mod to be the escrow.

Looks like the back-pedalling from the "By Spring" claim already begun though.
