Nobody is in an uproar or giving 8 BILLION DOLLARS to fund them or even keeping a daily tracker on TD for them. Stop being a fearmonger OP.

Was referring to the post from flexdog.

Again apologies for confusion. Can we please drop this. Not looking for a fight.

ETA for clairty: was referring to CDC 6.9% mortality from flu and pneumonia. Point attempting to make: we cannot extrapolate corona mortality from the 6.9% figure. That is all.

I believe we are on the same side of this discussion.

Gosh. Hope my post didn't come off that way.
There are a lot of folks genuinely confused by misleading info being put out. Didn't know the context here.

My beef is with the OP. I may have replied on you my bad. This whole topic is just the OP trying to push the hype. I'm just trying to calm it. It's all good.

Just a reminder

The seasonal flu went from 0 to 250,000 hospitalizations in 60 days this flu season.

Keep your distance. And don't kiss.

Those are two pieces of advice that could be crucial in reducing the spread of the coronavirus.

Public health officials say the spread has been mainly driven through people spending time indoors with others who have the disease.

"Looks like the main driver is not widespread community infection — looks like it's household-level infection," Dr. Bruce Aylward, a senior adviser to the World Health Organization, said at a news conference in Geneva on Feb. 25.

Indeed, data from China's cases show that most of the spread is happening among family members who live together.

I wonder if he knows this Harvard Scientist?

Charles Lieber, the chair of Harvard University's Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, has been arrested and criminally charged with making "false, fictitious and fraudulent statements" to the U.S. Defense Department about his ties to a Chinese government program to recruit foreign scientists and researchers.

The Justice Department says Lieber, 60, lied about his contact with the Chinese program known as the Thousand Talents Plan, which the U.S. has previously flagged as a serious intelligence concern. He also is accused of lying about about a lucrative contract he signed with China's Wuhan University of Technology.

In an affidavit unsealed Tuesday, FBI Special Agent Robert Plumb said Lieber, who led a Harvard research group focusing on nanoscience, had established a research lab at the Wuhan university — apparently unbeknownst to Harvard.
