Notice you don't hear about Ebola anymore now that Obama is gone? Just another New World Order/Media scare tactic.

Read about some countries inland in Africa and why Doctors without Borders are there. There aren't even roads, and how washing and caressing dead bodies there let Ebola happen and spread far, far from Newspapers, TV and even far from Electric grids.

Trump forced China to build one centuries ago and made them pay for it. It hasn't helped.

Why does this kind of stuff always seem to originate in China?


I travel to China frequently and they are freaking nasty. I was in the Wuhan airport last year and people hock up huge loogies and spit on the escalator steps, floors and carpets.

All over China, they cough all the time and don’t cover their mouths then never wash their hands after going to the bathroom. If they do wash their hands there is no soap or paper towels. If you have to poop, good luck on finding TP in a public bathroom. You learn to eat fiber in the morning and get your business done at the hotel. I have horror stories of getting out in remote areas with no TP.

But the media has a thing for exotic virus fear mongering.


Maybe but we are due a global pandemic. Spanish Flu was over 100 years ago.

I read the other day that they think it was centered around a seafood market and may have come from shrimp.
Bird flu, Swine Flu, now Shrimp Flu. Dammit.

Lot's of people need lots of food. And the Chinese eat almost any animal. Animals are often kept in tight quarters. The animals get sick and if it can, the virus will jump into the human population. I am reading a book about this and the author did a whole section on SARS which jumped up out of China. And don't forget air travel will get it here in a couple of days.

This zombie game takes place in New Orleans, picking it up on release day (Wednesday) so I can practice for the upcoming apocalypse.

There was a Reddit AMA with a military doctor who worked on zombie apocalypse contingency plans, although they called it something like "aggressive behavioral symptoms." The working model was a hypothetical highly contagious form of rabies.

6 possible cases of it have been found here in Taiwan. 4 came out negative and they waiting on the other 2. My girlfriend works at the airport and their boss is now making everyone wear masks, gloves, and carry anti-bacterial soap.

Three people have died.


So it has a mortality rate of roughly 1.5%.

To put this in perspective, the mortality rate from flu in 2018 was 9.1%.
