I saw on TV that many people apparently think the Corona virus is being spread this way:

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Looks like California is going to be okay.  They figured out the solution.

First US human-to-human transmission confirmed.

WE ALL GON DIE!

'bout damn time. Though I still think an asteroid strike would have been more fun.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Came across an article last night that indicates there are some odd insertions into the genome of this virus, looking like they are from the HIV virus.

:facepalm:  Geeesh!   That would be karmic if true.   A real Andromeda Strain.

Although, if they ARE bioengineering a weapon, wouldn't it be more deadly?

Perhaps  this was the 1.0 version....experimental ....and the new improved version hasn't escaped.




Yet.

Not deadly enough to end the world but deadly enough to disrupt and distract an enemy and perhaps cause enough deaths to crash their economy

Not that I'm ready to say this is mil bioengineering gone awry, but yeah, you really don't need Spanish flu death numbers to start a panic. Way fewer deaths and leaking that it is in fact a Racoon City virus is all that's needed for some pretty significant panic.

At this point most if not all of this stuff is still in the tin-foil-hat category as far as I'm concerned

Funny, this morning I was tempted to remark about whether this was a war virus that got loose.

I didn't, thinking I'd be decried as being ultra-paranoid, and I come on here now and find others have thought the same thing.

So I ain't paranoid?

How about that?  I must tell "certain people."

Yes, you are paranoid.  And so are those other people.

China has a population of 1.4 billion.  They live in densely populated cities, have poor pollution control, and eat weird stuff including bat soup.  I'm surprised China doesn't get worse diseases every year.

Of course this is the month I'm supposed to fly twice  :facepalm:

Was in O'Hare this week and possibly again in two weeks.

Hopefully this thing is contained. I hate the flu 😷
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Which is along the lines of what I've been saying about the plain old flu being like 1000X as deadly as the beer virus, and not only do we not care, we have active national discussions on the validity (or not) of the flu shot.

But to the panic point, "govt" or natural, it doesn't take much to cause a panic. I mean, the beer virus is already causing a mild panic what with the stock market and quarantines and banned flights and whatnot.

I'm wondering how much of those paper masks' protection is due to the fact that they discourage touching your nose and mouth after your fingers have been contaminated with outside germs.

I know they aren't worth much in terms of actual filtering, especially if you need a shave or have many wrinkles.
