Why does China have a widespread disease outbreak every 2 years or so?

Is it a serious threat to anyone besides the elderly and 75 pound Chinese people?

What is the likelihood that it becomes a nationwide epidemic in the United States?

The “Extra” has always been a little bit of virus for added flavor. This year it got out of hand

What kind of car do you drive? That will give you insight on whether or not you will contract covid19.

Media induced panic. Done on purpose.

It is worse than a tornado that killed 4x as many people in one day than the China Flu has killed in this country in two months...

Last pandemic came from Mexico, and the last novel coronavirus outbreak came from the Mid East.

Appears to be fairly mild outside of that range, but don’t dismiss it as the flu. It has far more capability to frick up the elderly than the flu. Medical facilities at the center of the outbreak in SK and Italy are overwhelmed, with a waiting list more than 2k long in SK

Medium/high, depending how far into the communities the Oregon/Washington outbreaks went.

Very contagious, possibly longer life outside the body, kills adults too. China shut down their economy and build massive hospitals to deal with it, it’s likely not just media driven nonsense.

Because you have over 1 billion people living in less than 3.7 million square miles. The US has 350 million in 3.8 million square miles.

Now through in the fact that it’s truly a third world country outside of the major urban centers with little to no actual health care (don’t give me eastern medicine bull shite) and they just had a major pork shortage you have a frick ton of hungry people living in terrible conditions in close proximity.

1) It's a media conspiracy to make Trump look bad.
2) The flu has killed far more people so it's unimportant.

Those are the two most popular idiot explanations.
