What’s the latest on the cruise ship? That’s got to be terrible being stuck on that thing waiting.

Isnt this Honkus flight?

No. The flight Honkus and his family were on ended up at March Reserve Base.

That's closer to Los Angeles; south of San Bernardino and east of, the coincidentally named, Corona, California.

Also, if you're somewhat worried about the virus, good news:
A 95-year-old woman, China’s oldest novel coronavirus patient, was cured in Nanjing, East China’s Jiangsu province, on Friday afternoon.

If a 95 year old paralyzed lady can make a recovery, you (probably) can too.

Hong Kong building evacuated, residents quarantined. Virus may have spread through sewer pipes. LINK

For some reason I've felt the urge to watch Contagion lately. Way too many videos/pictures/stories remind me of it.

So you think this is no worse than the flu? I have a link douche bag and the link to the communist numbers is listed.

frick you by the way

China is lying about the numbers. I have seen some people saying they believe well over 100,000 have it (nobody for sure knows though). Zero Hedge has an article about how the they are only counting people that are showing symptoms rather than testing positive for the virus.

Based on the current numbers, we have about two weeks to prepare in Louisiana.

Merely having a link doesn’t confer authenticity. I can make a website in 5 minutes that looks more professional than what Mike Adams, self appointed “Health Ranger,” posted on his doomsday blog.

The fact remains that he uses links to “cite” things that aren’t true.

I’ve READ the Lancelet article. It is actually posted in this thread. I invite you to read it as well.

I’m not processing the data through a filter of a doomsday conspiracy theorist. Especially one who puts out articles like the one saying that if the case rate in Wuhan wasn’t zero by yesterday then quarantine wasn’t working, and the spread of the virus was being helped by the left wing media downplaying everything about this so it can spread everywhere and kill a lot of people to accomplish some agenda.

But I digress: all of the links in the world doesn’t change the fact that the Lancelet never said what they are claiming. So you can make all of the linked excerpts containing 4th grade math all you want. Calculations based on that value are all wrong. That’s not a matter of opinion or judgement. It just is.

Going broader than the Lancelet article, mortality ranges from 0.8% (including estimated asymptomatic carriers), to 17%, if you isolate your cases to only the Hubei province which for some reason is getting hit far harder than even other parts of China.

In that perspective, the WHO estimate of 2-3% seems fairly reasonable. Especially there has been all of one death from this disease outside of China, and no where in the West.

I never said that. In fact, I’ve even started to pre buy some groceries and stocking the freezer in the unlikely event this does go sour and I want to self quarantine.

That doesn’t mean this is a peer to untreated typhoid fever however.

Volva has initiated doomsday prep protocols before the civil unrest begins.

Worst case scenario he’s ready for hurricane season in 4-5 months.

It’s a win-win if he lives.

Coronavirus: New study finds incubation period of up to 24 days

quote:

New research based on data gathered from more than 1,000 coronavirus patients in China found that the incubation period for the virus was as long as 24 days rather than the previously believed 14 days, and fewer than half of the patients showed fever symptoms when they first saw doctors.

This bug is showing a lot of variability.
