Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

**KenJongIll** · 03-10-2020, 01:15 PM

Any thoughts to whether CV-19 might be more lethal/contagious to those in the western world vs Chinese? They regularly eat “bush meat” , bats, etc. Could they possibly have a stronger immunity to Corona viruses? Maybe from past exposure to less virulent forms?

Well they have shit resistance to iocane, I do know that.

That was Xi's mindset in China. Not too surprising but still a bit shocking that Trump doubled down on that failure.

Classic Jack!

I guess this is what full blown panic looks like.
After weeks of sunny high pressure, we've finally gotta forecast for possibly our biggest storm of the season and you're thinking this?

policy changing from containment to mitigation: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-...ay-quarantines

The WHO report from China stated that 1-5% of known cases were found (early) via contact tracking. In Wuhan, contact tracking apparently took more than 9k people (>1800 teams of approx 5 people per team).

My understand is that it's not a zone more than it's containment around specific facilities?

My guess is that it's an issue with the help, and ICE targets. Giving them fair warning that military vehicles will be present soon.

I'm west of the zone and the winds blow west to east. So there's that.

Polis did the same thing here in Colorado.... my guess is they're all doing it early so they can have earlier access to the inevitable run on federal funding to support whatever is needed in the coming weeks/months.

I just got a jury duty summons for 3/31 for King County Superior Court. LOL if they think I'm going anywhere near that jury duty. Maybe they will offer a Zoom meeting?
