Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)

They're burning bodies. I hope there's no one on here who actually believes that those sulfur dioxide plumes are from burning animal carcasses and linens. Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui says that there are more than 50,000 dead.

just jumped to 60k on the JH map

HOLY CRAP!!! Those predictions that the corner had been turned because the new cases reported had fallen from an all time high of about 4000 cases in a single day to as low as about 2000 new cases must be shocked as H3LL to see almost 16,000 new cases reported today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't trust anyone. Our own government lies, as if we had any doubt. China's is for sure.

"There are over a million and a half people infected, and the authorities are hiding the truth from you," Guo [Wengui] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guo_Wengui) said in the interview.

"About 80% of people who died from the virus in China were over the age of 60, and 75% had pre-existing conditions, according to a recent report from China's National Health Commission."

Multiple news outlets have reported it.

Not sure I'm trusting numbers from Chinas National Health Commission until they are corroborated by a more trustworthy source. It would make sense for a flu virus but some past flu pandemics have strangely been most harmful to the healthy population in its prime. Most notably the Spanish Flu of 1918. Its probably true but I'm gonna wait for a better source until I accept it as fact. Just too early to tell. What seems to be sticking as fact is a r0 of at least 2.5 and a mortality rate of at least 2.5 but most likely 3. Those 2 numbers arent fluctuating much. Even Chinas numbers are putting mortality over 2% and there is obvious fudging going on in that camp. As far as I concerned everything else is just a guess at this point.

the norm for flu deaths worldwide is 250000 to 600000 every year, I'm not buying into the hype

When was the last time there were quarantines like we are seeing for the flu?

This isn't the flu.

80% of those that have died have been 60 or older.
