No one would bat an eye if they just had cops on the road. The dirt is more effective. It’s not like they are dynamiting the roads.

I'm not sure quite what he means when he said diplomats looked into the Wuhan bio lab.
The other interpretation is that they have experts on infectious diseases so they may have information to help contain and/or treat it.

I've been thinking that gray pall in all the pictures was rain or fog. Now I realize it must be air pollution. It"s got to make any respiratory illness worse.

Not sure that mortality is accurate. You’re assuming that no more of the 11k currently infected will die. Could be much higher.
Yes it should be taken with a grain of salt. Way too many unknowns at this point. We don’t know if they are not reporting deaths and it’s possible that the number of deaths climbs significantly soon from current infections.

Also to keep in mind: if its mutated to the point that early identification symptoms are being skipped,as has been reported, the mortality rate will probably climb.

I’m sure more will die, but I’m guessing that those who have been identified are the ones most likely to have the most severe reactions and be at the greatest risk of dying. Not to mention, I’m guessing the early mortality rate is higher than the mortality rate as the seeking of treatment increases, people seek it earlier, the diagnosis of it gets more accurate, and the treatment gets more developed.
There’s a three day incubation period. Thousands are probably infected and don’t know it. I’d guess the final mortality falls somewhere between 0.1-1%.

So if the lady who inaccurately reported an implausible high (measles level) figure, then her replies of a mutation should be taken with a grain of salt.

The poster who cited the figure (40/10000) did not correctly cite it as a percentage (didn’t multiply by 100).

This is a video of a doctor who worked in China for 2 years and still has doctor friends there who have fed him info. Good watch if you have the time.

Does this virus make you bleed from your orifices like Ebola or did that Chinese baw in the 2nd gif bust his face when he passed out?

So 10x higher mortality than flu and more contagious.

No, it’s similar to pneumonia
