Official Coronavirus Thread - The Next Airborne Misery - Open General ☣

Well that’s simply untrue.

Usually the correct answer to most complex problems is a very simple one.

As for the last social medial of all types is burning up with talk about the Wuhan Corona virus and there are over a thousands videos on youtube discussing it.

What the hell are you talking about? The answer to the problem depends on the problem. Some answers can be simple. Some answers can be complex. A problem that has a wide range of issues to resolve can’t usually be solved by a simple answer. Anyway, I don’t really care to debate this with you because you have your opinion and I have mine and that’s that.

So what? That doesn’t mean any of them are good or relevant. The number of something doesn’t determine the quality of something. Look at the link below and tell me who is making the determination as to what is disinformation and what is not? That’s the bigger point.

The dreaded sound of a Virus !!

Japan apparently has classified the CoronaVirus a ‘designated infectious disease’ which allows compulsory hospitalisation.

Finally the ‘authorities’ confirm what we all had started to believe.

Tonight (GMT) the BBC reported that Hong Kong had almost isolated itself from the mainland.

But the designation - which takes effect on Feb. 7 after ordinances are issued - does not apply to people without symptoms.

Asked about concern over transmission of the virus from people who have not shown symptoms, a health ministry official said it was not clear whether that had happened.

I think it would be prudent for all who have been evacuated to remain in quarantine for a minimum of 14 days.

If that cannot be agreed to, then they need to stay in China and take their chances.

China’s National Health Commission confirmed an additional 38 deaths and 1,737 new cases. Officials said that brings their total to 170 deaths and 7,711 cases. They also said 170 people had been cured and discharged.

Really? Why not share that “cure” with the rest of the people who are dying? Oh, and while they’re at it do be kind enough to share the “cure” with the rest of the world. :woozy_face:

So this happened on my way home from work. Montreal likely infected.

Lots of reasons for that outside of the Wuhan coronavirus.

“Usually” and “Always” have two very different meanings.

The claim was that social media and youtube are scrubbing all info about the virus which is simply false.

The truth is usually even with very complex problems there is a very simple solution.

This outbreak is a great example.

There is a very simple solution, they should have immediately quarantined the affected area where it first popped up. Had the Chinese done so there would be no worldwide outbreak nor any potential for a global pandemic.

There are a few thousand more likely reasons someone would pass out.

HO LEE FUK 7000 on Italy Cruise Ship Infected and Quarantined

Might want to reread that, there aren’t 7,000 infected.

I knew it would only be a matter of days before the virus was declared to be Trump’s fault. :sweat_smile:
