  1. Why aren’t the experts talking about the German case? He never visited China. It was transmitted to him by a Chinese visitor that was asymptomatic. She didn’t show any symptoms until she got on the plane back to China.

    1. @LevDevi Yes, You are Right. When All the People that in this last month have been Carriers, probably millions at this point, Start filling the hospitals. It is a Very Serious and deadly Pandemic. Is the Evil that Humans didn’t want to Face. This Punishment to Humanity was long Overdue. BUT VERY SCARY indeed.

    2. Just wait until you have forced inoculation and those in the know about the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation vaccines refuse to comply.

    3. Sorry, I’m gonna say a total of 300,000 to 600,000 cases possibly occuring next week, considering this is China and now the whole Region of China is infected.

  2. if youve ever read a book called the Stand,by stephen king,then this would all sound eerily familiar.
    stay safe out there.

    1. @Stephanie Drake Come back here and let me know in the next few weeks if you’re still up for the “culling of the herd” if you or your loved ones are directly effected by this at any point

    2. Rob Washere what are the odds that there might be a book out there about a virus that kills people globally? What you reckon

    1. @Adder K. Funny, you think the wohan virus quarantined the city or wasn’t the Communists? This virus is a joke and is being used to cover up the ChiCom failing economy and the anger of the people at the ChiComs. It’s a distraction that will be a memory in a month.

    2. @Cool Beans oh gosh I hope so. Please let it hit India and the ME. Please let it mutate so that any drugs we have are ineffective.

    3. @Matt Hickman The flu is only harmful to the fools who try to prevent it by getting a flu vaccine. I’ve had the flu twice this year, diagnosed by docs. I used Cannabis to get through the symptoms and it was here and gone in three days. Was bad, but I’ve had much worse. The cannabis made it not that bad.

    4. @Christina Maria Mary No way. Let the immune system handle it. When you try to prevent sickness such as flu, you make your own system weaker. The immune system needs to fight and get exercised. It was long ago proven that if you prevent children from getting sick they will be more sick as they get older. Same goes for adults. Once old that changes.

  3. Germany: we have 4 patients with Corona Virus infections:

    To your notice : this virus is contageous before symptoms occur, as most viral deseases are.
    The Germans aquired the virus from a Chinese lady, who worked with them for 2 days, who hadn´t shown any symptoms on arrival, during her stay and on her flight home.
    Only later on she developed signs of the virus infection.
    so yes, it IS contageous before outbreak.
    Good message: the German man felt symptoms of a cold for 3 days , then felt perfectly fine and went back to work, and there he got the message of the infection of his chinese colleague.
    His wife and little daughter are in quarantine, but no symptoms so far.

    1. Chinese have been seen aimlessly wandering around in Rural America after escaping China weeks ago. They are afraid and have no plans. No place to stay, no money, no food and people like me avoid them like the plague! They are wearing their best clothes and that it! Whole families and they go to PUBLIC parks (Mariners) where kids are all over, next to elementary schools 100 yards from playing children. their kids are playing on the jungle gyms- and this is LAST FRIDAY in Costa Mesa, California FAR from LAX!

    2. @Olivia Song not Asians. Just Chinese. 96% of SARS death are Chinese. In USA , 27 people had SARS with zero death. SARS death rate is 10%. Hong Kong death rate was 17%. Chinese media had long speculated that SARS was a bio engineered bug to attack people with Chinese genes. Take it with a grain of salt. But the number seems to support it.

    1. As per CDC , flu has hospitalized 120000 Americans and inflected 15 to 18 million in USA this season. Know your virus. Lol

    2. @venpasa first known case dated back to 12/1/2019. That case and some other early cases had no connection to the wet market. The wet market was a distribution center and may not be the source.

    3. @Brandon Lee Sanders here is the number Ro: common flu is 1.3, SARS was 2.0 and Coronavirus is between 2.0 and 3.1. you may confirm the real coronavirus Ro after this is over. Stop your vicious fear mongering already.

  4. Six hours later this is alreadt outdated. Over 170 dead now not the 80 she says. She is like 4 days behind.

    1. Everquest Sales bull crap you really believe the communists thousands dead and hundreds of thousands sick

  5. Anyone remember the swine flu ?
    And the media?
    Just take precautions folks
    Watch over the elderly, the young and those with compromised immune systems.

    1. @Panther 8282 H1N1 swine flu was not anything special. I already said this. Why do I have to repeat myself? I had H1N1 swine flu. It was just an extremely strong strain of flu. For example, fever came on me extremely fast and extremely strongly, so high that I should have gone to a hospital to get it down but I was too delirious from the fever to realize just how insanely high my fever was. Luckily with rest over night by the next morning my fever was down a little to like 102 or 103. Still high enough combined with my low oxygen that the doctor wanted to hospitalize me then, but I talked her out of it because at that point I was getting better beating H1N1 and knew I did not need hospitalization. H1N1 swine flu was certainly not a “released virus” as you said. Do not talk about things with certainty that you do not know about.

    2. Swine flu only had death rate similar or less to regular flu. It is just scary we dont yet know the death rate on this. Death rates fir elderly are almost always worse than young people but it is kust a scary unknown so far.

  6. We dont know how it spreads because we dont really know the exact numbers of the transmisson we can’t be sure for now because *we don’t know*

  7. “It’s not a pandemic, a pandemic is a globally spread disease” yeah, that’s why at least 17 countries have cases now. Definitely not a pandemic 🙄

    1. IDIOT knows nothing about he’s talking about! I’ve studied pandemics as a thesis! READ THE NEWS. it’s a global emergency as of TODAY!

    2. May be the correct definition of pandemic is when only 30 days before all people are happy saying Happy New Year

    1. Exactly, yet they just keep throwing that false information around !

      It is obvious because not every person confirmed infected ate at that market or was exposed to a person who was confirmed infected !
      So obviously it’s spreading somehow🙄

    2. What is thecdefinition of symptomatic? Fever , chills usually right ? Actually, people dont know that even before fever and chills set in, they unknowingly have pneumonia ( small spot visible under xray only). This virus attacks your lungs, inhabits and replicates , eventually infecting others thru droplet infection.

    1. Colt1968 95 You just have an awful sense of humor. Joking is one of the best things to do in bad situations because it helps thing feel less horrible.

    1. If only we let him take our guns away, he will release his dual corona virus vaccine/cancer cure. In actuality it does neither, but sterilizes you instead.

    1. @david bean WTF?!!? If you don’t believe in god, then who are you praying to? I don’t believe in invisible sky daddies either btw, but your comment perplexes me.

    2. Lucius Kiirus

      If there is no god can you just answer one simple question that will determine the existence of god !

      Can nothing create something ?
      Follow simple logic and apply science and its all the theories based upon proven facts and answer can absence of energy create energy?

    3. I am in Brazil, here there are some suspect cases…but i think all world will have a big problem, i will pray for you and for all of us too, we all around the world are in the same boat…

  8. I know that there are a lot of us wishing for a remake of The Stand, but this really isn’t what we had in mind lol
