Chinese flu - Doomsday 2020

[Leshma]

Heard about that some two months ago. She was some kind of psychic. I believe she also wrote that mostly young died from that disease in her book.

To tell you frankly, last few years I was wondering when another Spanish Flu would strike, being 100 years since the last big pandemic and here it is. Most epidemiologists warned officials about strong possibility but there was no understanding from those in power. Bill Gates also warned people five years prior and years after that.

Imagine if world leaders worked together on this if the WHO and the United Nations served some purpose. They could cancel all flights from China early January, then mid-January get all planes down. It would cost a lot less than what this will cost us in the end. Block on people travel would fix everything and while tourism would tank, people who travel because of business have that thing called the Internet. There is no need to make deals in person for the last two decades or so. But boomers being boomers and their policies. Now they will suffer the most because of their stubbornness.

she published that in 2008 people say because of the sars thing and she passed away in 2013.

Throw enough shit at the wall and some stick.

School and job both closed due to GAYrenavirus and no good games to play, life is pain & suffering

[Leshma]

More and more young folks on death reports and in ICU. The worst is yet to come.

We've gotta hurry up and spread this thing to kill the projected ~400,000 people before it all blows over and the media and politicians [continue to] look like shit.

[Politicians/media take action to prevent spread of virus, leading to fewer deaths]
"Wow, so few deaths, they overreacted and shut everything down for nothing!"

[Politicians/media take no action to prevent spread of virus, leading to many deaths]
"Wow, it's like they don't even care about us, just watching us die and shit!"

Why not both?

Why not both?

Tbh we're living in the "both" scenario. Too little, too late to avoid it reaching pandemic status, and just enough to *hopefully* ensure we don't have massive casualties.

The 'shutting everything down' had the affect of people isolating even less at the supposed height of the illness by congregating at grocery stores buying up all the damn TP, cold medicine, frozen and canned foods and soft drinks, oddly enough I still saw a pallet with water left on it. I thought it was a bit strange when I heard a first time ad on my local radio station for a sporting goods store focusing on ammo of all things. The media and entertainment industry are probably also loving this ratings bonanza.

The illness itself is not what I'm concerned about, it's the induced panic and the knock-on affect this will have for when it finally blows over. Even if I'm wrong I'll still be indignant as "wolf" has been cried I don't know how many times in my lifetime with SARS, bird flu, swine flu, ebola, zika, etc.

Where was the panic when in 2018 over 10 million ppl fell ill with TB and 1.5 million died from it? Only like 9000 deaths now in 4 months if it stays at that rate 9000 every 4 months it will only be 27000 deaths which is a far cry from 1.5 million.

Ain't nothing strange about that. What good is all your tp gonna do in the end times when I come knocking on your door with my fully loaded ar15 asking for a roll or two?

Don't worry, COVID-19 won't keep up its current rate of spread for the rest of the year, no need to panic. The population of Earth is much less than 23 billion, it'll run out of new people to infect much sooner than December 2020.
