Hey, why not comment now that I turned out to be correct?
This study is still in peer review and has had 2 major flaws presented which may cause it to be revised.
2) Several studies have shown that around half of cases actually get confirmed. That means you could cut the rate estimate in half right there.
This article uses careful tentative language such as "might", "could" and "possibly" to give a worst case scenario. It is an accurate worst case scenario. I'm not disputing it, just clarifying.
And a woohoo for this ^^^^. And due to the fact we have a large number of imbeciles here dancing in the street having a grand old time we need to put curfews in place. 4000 kids hold street party on weekend at queens u here....... then fucking laugh about it. We have 2.5 IC beds per 1000 people and they are running at 95-98% capacity so ya people are gonna fucking die and those who don’t help are helping to drive up the numbers ....... scary shit, scary times.
I agree. Our first two Confirmed cases in my state both went out and about- one went to a night club.
Govt telling the population to "wash your hands" reeks of "duck and cover" which they sold before.
Luckily science is a lot better today. But you are right, washing hands is not going to cut it, but it is very helpful.
Correct about what?
It's probably tRUmps new strategy, blame the Chinese, make them the boogieman and try to distract from his incompetence. His dim witted cult will swallow it hook line and sinker. He called Mexicans bad hombres, what catchy name will he give the Chinese?
See thread title. This happened in China. People who eat bushmeat unleashed this. Nothing hysterical or racist about it. Just correct.
Even your reply reeks of bias. "People who eat bushmeat unleashed this". I think a normal rational person would reply more along the lines of "the first super spread event occurred in a food market in China."
Masks need to be preserved for people working with the sick and even public, like grocery store clerks. You need a minimum of an N95 mask and it would most likely be useless without a proper fit test (4 sizes). Dust and surgical masks are ok to prevent the spread if you are infected by catching droplets from spray. Masks are needed for those working with the sick or public, we don't have enough for everybody, just stay home and hunker down, you won't even need hand sanitizer for that.
Eating bush meat is an issue, irrespective of the culture or race involved, to say it was just a food market would be a lie of omission for PC purposes. Your argument and attack is bullshit.
Nothing is 100% conviction. It is accepted that the Sars-cov2 virus was introduced to humans at an exotic animal wet meat market where people were chopping up endangered wild animals is where this virus jumped from bats to pangolins to people. Bats and pangolins and people should not have been in close proximity for such extended periods as nature wouldn't produce such a pairing. It happened because a bunch of people were running a market for fucking bushmeat.
