@WildRose

It’s unknowable at this point since we have no idea how may people are infected in the general public.

The average person though who is contagious will likely expose 5-10 more people if they are not quickly quarantined.

Best estimate.

Try reading through the original thread as the timeline has progressed.

SARS-like virus spreading rapidly in China; cities quarantined; cases in US

In response a rapidly spreading coronavirus, the Chinese government has quarantined the city of Wuhan with a metro population of 19 million just as the Chinese New Year holiday is starting. Unconfirmed internet videos show people collapsing in the streets. https://summit.news/2020/01/23/video-purports-to-show-coronavirus-victim-collapsed-on-the-street-in-wuhan/ There have been at least 800 cases in China with a death toll of at least 26. The number of deaths appears to be growing quickly, and…

That’s an 850+ post thread. If you don’t want to have the conversation you’re under no obligation to reply.

[WildRose]

I’m having the conversation and that thread gives you a timeline of what’s been proposed by various people and the reactions of others since it began.

@moonshine

according to foreign policy magazine (2/10/20) trump wants to cut 1/2 the us finds of teh world health organization

his latest budget proposal has a 19% cut in funds for the CDC

he’s upset with the ways som epoeple in his administration are handling the virus

in 2018 he fired the entire pandemic response chain of command

his acting head of the homeland security (in office 4 months with no permanent replacement) gave a congressional briefing today where it was obvious he was clueless on basic details
when questioned by LA repulican senator kennedy he didnt know how many cases were in the US
he had no idea how many cases teh CDC was expecting
when asked how the virus is trasmited all he kept saying was human to human.
when asked what the mortality rate of coronavirus was he kept saying it was comparable to the flu.

It is 300 times deadlier than the flu.

This is partly allowing corporations the ability to rob tax payers the maximum amount. Unfortunately it means killing people also which is something they are into.

They are going to make it so that it’s too expensive to get cured while it is already too expensive to be tested.

More to topic, the Trump admin is doing its best to ensure the viral spread as a pretext to canceling this year’s Presidential election.

@tnt

the mixed response from this administration is confusing.

SG says worry more abut the flu, CDC says prepare to have your life interrupted, DHS says regular flu kills about 2% of the people who get it, Trump says we are near a vaccine, CDC says 12-18 months away…

This is why organizations have meetings, send and read memos, have continuity in staff, so information can be easily disseminated and plans and messages can be formulated and consistently implemented an shared.

ONE TENTH of one percent of people who get the flu die whereas the new corona virus seems to be around three percent… What a ■■■■■■■ crock from DHS!!

[WildRose]

Over 90% of the patients will get over it naturally without vaccination or any special treatment.

Donny talking now.

It’s amazing how much he blathers along without saying anything.

Pence: “The president’s been clear from the beginning…” LOL

Can you provide a link to DHS putting that out?

[Kelby]

Donny says we are down to one still sick person from a total of 15, five have or are preparing to go home.

Says incidence of new cases in China are declining.

[WildRose]

Do you have evidence to the contrary?

[Kelby]

@WildRose

Do you have evidence to the contrary?

Yes, Trump’s long history of minimizing problems.

[WildRose]

So the correct answer is “no” the only evidence you have is your own bias.

Thanks for clearing it up.

Thanks for clearing it up.

Up to 60 confirmed cases in U.S.

New cases are expected, as virus is expected to spread.

This, according to this own experts speaking after him.

[WildRose]

I’m watching it now and you are completely misrepresented what he said.

“Of the original 15”.

Oh, I must have missed when he mentioned the other cases.

[WildRose]

That’s why he brought the A Team to answer questions on the current cases.
