People with jobs have a lot of money. How is that suspicious?

It's very small as a % of their population which is what really matter here. Assuming it's not concentrated in one area, such as China, a country with a fairly even geographical distribution of virus carriers will have more ability to treat people in absolute terms as they simple have a higher...

What are you thinking, that she already had CV or that the elite already have a vaccine?

Surprised that 240 pages into this thread and there are still 'its just the flu' people posting. If only the government would listen to them!

The flu has a vaccine because it can be deadly. This has no vaccine and can also be deadly deadly.

The population of the world is probably too many as of today, so diseases like this might actually be a good thing in the long run in controlling the population. Nature trying to redress the balance.

watched the film 'contaigon' last night, highly recommended

Just a reminder that medium.com is a revenue sharing platform. It pays for an author to write a sensationalist piece that is viewed millions of times across the web. Not saying it's not a credible article, just.. evaluate your sources and don't panic too much while reading this.

The best post on this thread. If you thought of that yourself it's genius

Missed this reply, thanks for the informative and well reasoned answer

So why are multiple governments plus the WHO saying we need to be prepared and why are millions of people in lockdown across the world? We didn't see this with bird flu. So I'll ask my question again, why is this virus so different?

Can anyone explain why this is different to bird flu? I didn't realise bird flu killed over 100,000 people. Was flu preventable with the normal flu vaccine, and if not, why wasn't there the same concern as we're seeing with this coronavirus?

Top yourself if you're so concerned about over population.

That wouldn't be a problem for me

Mortality rate is deaths/deaths+recovered. As there's a 10 day incubation period and two weeks illness it'll be a while before we see how many recover vs how many die

It's a pre-fab. Once the land is cleared you basically slot it together like building an IKEA table.

The region is now on lockdown. Apparently 80 million people. Crazy.

Although the initial message was seemingly a bit cheeky, I was shocked there wasn't already a thread on this. Is there still a level of apathy in the UK? The Chinese are concerned, they've locked down a city bigger than London. Unconfirmed reports of people dying before they reach the hospital...

India is very similar, why doesn't anything originate from there? Perhaps because Indians are largely vegetarian so less livestock around to pass diseases?

Anyone picked this up yet?
