A scientist from Johns Hopkins already did three months ago, finding that such a disease could cause 65 million deaths worldwide.

Wuhan is about 11 million, so I would expect about 33,000 deaths. If it were to go Global, with full exposure, possibly 230 million. But containment is already underway, so this is highly unlikely. Perhaps another 1000 globally.

Not close to a culling. Humanity survives and thrives.

I see a trend - every 2 years or so we have a pandemic which will kill all hupersonity. Ebola, swine flu, bird flu, now this coronavirus. A cynic in me says that media needs a crisis so that people would actually tune in, so journalists are running around screaming "we will all gonna die tomorrow". Just look at newscasters when hurricane hits, they all have on-air orgasms. Additionally, pharma industry also benefits form these scares.

So China is closing down all Lunar New Year festivals just for fun? That’s like calling off Christmas for us.
They are sending in the army to try to contain the virus, but hospitals are turning people away rather than testing them, and Chinese scared of their own government are using fever reducing meds to escape temperature checks.
Meanwhile, it killed a little girl in Los Angeles.

Time to pack your house with medicines, stock up on antibiotics and anti virals! Plant yams!
And put a few metal spikes on your front bumper!

It seems to grow exponentially, ignoring containment efforts. So I think it will be a big one.
Even 2% deaths could climb up in millions easily.
But then again millions of people do die of the flu, and no one is scared.

Who wants to bet that those who had the flu virus didn't get this strain included in the vaccine.

Don't expect the media to point this out in the Fall.

Unfortunately China is not a credible source of information but what we do know suggests they are scared. We just put our trip to Taiwan off until further notice

They already had a few cases in the US and could study them - the virus is anywhere from mild to severe but not deadly unless immunocompromised. It's not a pandemic. Still these type of coronoavirus lung infections are nasty and you don't want to catch it.

The real question is, how long we hold the evolution with pharma.

Almost 1,000 cases and more than 40 deaths

1st patient that was seemingly healthy before died but all others were 60 or older or had pre-existing conditions. Europe and the US are pretty good at Quarantines and it surely is less infectious than Ebola. Theoretically they should be able to contain it by requiring people not to have close contact with others and maintaining good hygiene (wash hands etc.). It's just too crowded over there in many provinces. Hope they get it under control in China.

It was 830 cases yesterday and 25 deaths. It’s going up fast. My Chinese friend said the rich folks knew about this and fled months ago. The people spreading the news got arrested for spreading “fake news.” 😂😂😂

Human race needs a virus that can take out half of population, preferably striking fastest growing populations the hardest.

It's been around for over a month 1000 cases is nothing.
China will use it to crush the Hong Kong uprising, in the name of public health.
And the rest of the world will use it as a mandate to force Flu shots for the next 6 years.
I'm still waiting for the Sars, HN1, Avian Flu and all of the other hyped up medical cases to actually yield a world wide pandemic.


The Fact is there will never be another Swine Flu epidemic like in the early 1900's ever again. The world for the most part is too developed.
In the early 1900's and earlier, most streets worldwide were not paved, many people didn't even have sewer systems. Many cities were still tossing their piss pot out into the street every morning. People lived in leaky shanty and shacks that leaked like a sieve, the streets were wet, your house was wet. There was no where to get out of the bad weather and take care of yourself. By time you made it to the hospital pneumonia had already taken hold. Millions of people died world wide as a result. By the 1976 epidemic and subsequent outbreaks, cases are measured in the thousands, and deaths are measured by the hundreds.

Unless our infrastructure breaks down and people go back to living like they did before modern times, I don't think influenza will ever be as bad as it was then.
Ebola, Plague, and the types of bugs that give you pox and liquefies your inside, are the ones that scare me.
The WHO couldn't be bothered the last Ebola outbreak. So they have zero credibility with me.
I don't trust a damn thing those lying commie mother fuckers say for one minute.
