To the person on the last page of the closed thread talking about it being 3.4%--specified by WHO--you do realize that's for people 60+ right? That's the GLOBAL death rate. It's lower than 1% for anyone mid age and it's 0.2-0.5% for normal age ranges.

Fuk better go fill my spare room with toilet paper.

Ethiopian Airlines refuses to stop China flights
Airline boss says cancelling flights is not a solution and is unfair to China
Africa's largest carrier Ethiopian Airlines has once again refused to cancel flights to China despite rising pressure following the coronavirus outbreak.

By contrast, South African Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Air Tanzania, Air Mauritius, EgyptAir, RwandAir and Kenya Airways have all suspended flights to and from China.

But Ethiopian Airlines' boss Tewolde Gebremariam said on Wednesday that stopping flights to China was not the solution to fighting the spread of coronavirus.

He added that it was unfair to isolate China because of the virus.

"Flying direct to China doesn't mean we will stop novel coronavirus, because passengers from China can travel to African countries including Ethiopia through various others hubs. That's what the interconnected world means," he was quoted by Xinhua news agency as saying.

Mr Tewolde said Ethiopian Airlines, like others, had been affected by the virus outbreak - citing a 20% decline in demand.
Kind of scary the influence China has in that country. Tedros Ghebreyesus (director-general of the WHO) is also Ethiopian, and they have been trying to cover up a lot of stuff coming out of China at start; now the national airline of that country doesn't cancel flights to China despite other countries in Africa asking them to, to reduce the chance of a further outbreak in the continent.

As sympathetic as I am to the wish to stop people from spreading conspiracy theory and nonsense, telling people not to worry about it and that they won't get it if they're healthy is just irresponsible. The social costs of spreading this are high and everyone knows someone who is vulnerable. That should seriously be edited.

Also, LOL at "our server crashes if Miscers type too many words".
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

LMAO OP says only discussions of real science allowed or I'll ban you, then also posts face masks don't work meme. Also states you can't get it if you're young and healthy.

The information from face masks comes directly from the CDC. CDC > you. And no, I won't ban you if you engage inCIVILdiscussion. If you post troll/harassment/abusive threads you can expect to be reprimanded (that doesn't necessarily mean a ban).

"The only reason to fear the coronovirus is if you are elderly or are immunocompromised. For the young & healthy, you are very unlikely to contract the virus or die from it."

You are, in fact, extremely likely to contract the virus, just unlikely to be sick enough to require medical attention or even to realize that you have it. People do need to realize that they may already be a contagious carrier and that even mild flu-like symptoms may mean they're endangering the lives of friends and loved ones, not to mention strangers, by going about their normal routines without thinking.

People who become significantly ill are sometimes requiring weeks of costly supportive care and are a major social burden straining public health systems that everyone should take seriously. The goal of all the drama is to slow infection enough that hospitals won't become overwhelmed and unable to perform their duties as they did in Hubei. Washington State, the British NHS, and other governments are being open about this problem and people being conscientious about cross-contamination and social distancing buys time - and reduces the number of fatal cases before more effective treatments or a vaccine can be brought to market.

About the server, I believe you, but just LOL.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

The CDC doest work for you and me. It works for the Federal Govt. I work in the Federal Govt. I know how these things work. They are only saying that to try and preserve supplies to hospitals and their own staff.

N95 masks or higher will 100% filter the virus. Well 97.7 or so %. If you're around people caughing or sneezing with the virus IT WILL WORK.

If masks didn't work why are medical staff using them? Are they magical humans? They are trained to use them yes, but it's not rocket science to properly use them.

Why are we hating on OP? He explained his actions and even RE-OPENED the old thread hop off.

My parents have been really on the "fear mongering" bandwagon lately.

Just last night my father had a "talk" with me about going to the gym, and now my mother is trying to get me to wear gloves and take a personal lysol can with me to work.

I work too closely with our clients to pull chit like that without it being a distraction.

Until the people who are wearing masks, being complacent due to feeling "safe" because they are wearing a mask, rub their eyes after touching an infected surface ( the mask itself ).

Masks are better for people who are already sick.

I would guess tho if there wasn't a medical shortage, the CDC and other health bodies would advise everyone wear a mask. Hong Kong learned that lesson with SARS, look at them now, they have things pretty controlled.

At what point is it too risky to continue going to the gym where this thing could obviously spread no matter what precautions you take.

I'm in NYC where we have been seeing cases popping up every day and the testing is still very limited. It seems like any day now I could find out that someone from my gym tested positive at which point I don't see how I could justify continuing to go, but until then what would a good approach be?

In 2015, the Institute opened the first biosafety level 4 (BSL–4) laboratory to be built in mainland China. "
So there is a lab there? So far the 1918 flu, Sars and others have been speculated to come from wet markets. Speculation is great and I am not saying this isn't a possibility, but we should focus on facts of the virus and then investigate the cause when this mess is all over.

I don't believe in censorship. Is it probable? Yeah it is. But I still won't feed into conspiracies until we have concrete evidence it was manufactured.

masks lower the chance of you spreading something. respirators lower the chance of you catching something. n95 filters ~95% stuff. n99 filters ~99% stuff. there's still a chance that you can get infected, even if you follow all the guidelines correctly. for example, people with facial hair are more likely to catch something while wearing the respirator.

Or blame the seat belt when someone stupid puts it around their neck, gets into an accident, and gets decapitated because they didnt use it correctly.

And its really a MEME to say oh well you know it doesn't work because it makes you feel safe. WHO THE FK is going to feel safe wearing a n95 mask while going out into public for the first time in their life because they are scared to death of something that can potentially kill you?

FYI this is how govt it works, it takes a lie and a truth and mixes it so you cant discern the difference. Thats not CT, thats also fact its called propaganda.So while its true a SURGICAL mask should be worn by those already sick to prevent spread, an n95 mask or respirator will almost guarantee you dont get it provided you use it correctly, OBVIOUSLY.

Lastly you cant tell me if everyone wore masks, sick or not, that it wouldn't cut infection rate down to below what it is now. Then why would the CDC not recommend EVERYONE wear them? Its the simplest answer to effectively cut down on the transmission rate while not taking draconian routes.
I can't believe you just posted that if you wear an N95 mask, you are guaranteed to not get it.

sucks that there's not a lot of testing going on in the states.
