I think this press conference so far had some very good INFO much more positive message than the bullshit spin they had before now

Learning that most of Africa can test for the virus now is great news, good work on getting that done if true

Moved to Busan in Korea today. The streets are pretty quiet, every single person is in a mask. Perhaps not the best time I could have picked to uproot my life and move here, but at least I've got 2 weeks paid leave before I've even started my job.

Pretty much resigned myself to catching this thing at some point though.

Even Dr. Campbell gets depressed at this time. More good info

Oh good, this fucking virus is officially in my city

I am aware that some prefer to see the world end as soon as new expected outbreaks have been detected somewhere in the world. But here are the current numbers as statistics divided into China and the rest of the world.
The statistics for China clearly show that the spread of COVID-19 is very well prevented, despite a general R0 value of 1.4 to 4 for this virus (general info about what R0 is: https://www.healthline.com/health/r-nought-reproduction-number). If the figures for China are correct, then China is on the verge of containing the outbreak and bringing the disease under control there. According to the figures from China, the R0 value currently tends to be less than 1, which usually leads to the extinction of the disease.

For the rest of the world there is a slight increase due to the many tests for COVID-19. Compared to China, the rest of the world has a better starting position than China. What they do with it will be seen and it will depend on the actions that countries take.

The WHO now assumes that China has passed the peak of the disease. This is slightly positive, even if the situation is still critical and everything can go to shit within a few days. But right now, this is were we are at.

The disease spread in China is being very well prevented because of the lockdowns. I'm not scared of dying from this. I'm worried about being in a city in lockdown, without work for a month or more, possibly without access to food, etc. I'm also not confident that all the western countries would go to the lengths China went to.

This is how human ignorance and Science works

We powder our assholes with Asbestos for many many many years through history with no issues going on, so it seems FINE.
Until Science tells us shoving teeny tiny glass needles up our bum and lungs might not be so smart and it still took us many many years to stop powdering our asses with the shit.

Ignorance is a motherfucker

Your post made me smile, and cry.

In two weeks you'll feel like you made a good deal when the occidental world goes into full Walking Dead mode.

Take care but you're probably already dead

 

[Revoh]

Are there reports of people infected? Like, what are they feeling, eating, doing, etc. I've looked around and didn't find anything. Nobody blogging or even tweeting about this?

 

[Insane Metal]

Damn. This is not good

You are im a good place for the virus.
Yes it will get bad but you are in a society where everyone os respecting the other they are well behaved and disciplined.
Would you be in europe or north america you be assured to be beaten or shot if people panic

Yes there is a blogger.



He is still active . Very worth checking it out. Its his wife and how he deals with the situation.
This will give people a true insight and will maybe finally understand the haters that this is NOT JUST LIKE THE FLU.

Woooo so smaaaaart from you like you are subject 196 that shows me this pic like what i say and report should be disscreditrd cuz of an avatar that WAS GIVEN TO ME BY A GAF STAFFER.

Switzerland:
- Prepares in peace.
- Virus appears
- Not interested

Germany:
- Not interested
- Virus appears
- No one is prepared

Who's the dumb one now?

Iam glad that iam living currently in Switzerland and that iam not located in my city in North Rhine-Westphalia

No... it's just I could hear her voice saying what I quoted. No worries.

 

[cryptoadam]

I figure bases off the numbers that about 80% will survive, the other 20% will either be in critical condition or die.

If all these its not so serious people were correct, then why such extreme measures?

We have the flu in Canada, we get a shot, some people don't ever get flu shots. We don't go into lockdown and test everyone at airports.

Are we all going to die probably not, but this is much more serious than the flu bro.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

This is a different person from the Vice-Pres (Masoumeh Ebtekar) that was reported earlier



but still smh leadership was deeply exposed to this virus

 

[Jtibh]

No... it's just I could hear her voice saying what I quoted. No worries.

She can be the first to be shot as far as i care.
She is mentally dead anyways.

 

[ManaByte]

Imagine this wipes out the leadership of Iran

 

[Captain Zyrain]

LOL

 

[VertigoOA]

I don’t see any point in criticizing her for being alarmed. The shit is real.

I imagine that it’s spread throughout the entirety of NYC already even if reports haven’t hit. It may be too late.

We should’ve closed borders and all travel plans day one.

The Mad Max days are coming folks.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

LOL

that looks expensive since it has a fancy logo

 

[Insane Metal]

But I thought she died in that movie

Because of a deadly virus

If Trump closed the borders they'd be having another impeachment trial right now.

Yep, she knows thats why she's freaked.

That was a cool movie tho. Watched it again recently.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

So who is the first celebrity to catch this virus legit? Not a fake Juicy Smalley type hype train but who will TMZ say has the virus?

Yeah same here, was a little trippy actually understanding all the terminology this time around.

Thank goodness COVID-19 isn't that bad!

I saw the rumors of Poland ealier, Holland was also rumored but lots of folks from Holland posted here to say things were still okay

I agree. We sadly are going to need someone famous that people care about for the general population to realize that this shit isn't to played with. Stop all flights, get citizens vacationing back home and into a mandatory 1 month quarantine till we can get full idea of how bad this all is.
