  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  Price gouging :

  Unfortunately, the gut reaction here will most likely be to stop “price gouging” - which will make the situation worse ... *sigh*

  But buy things you'll use anyway, then there is no waste - just recycle it over time, drawn it down when panic has subsided or whatever.

  Yeah. As of now, this sounds like the key.

  You take your chances I guess. Go out and clear the shelves.

  If it turns out the rate is low, and this is going to kill people at flu-like rates, then ... well, I guess you’ll have a stockpile of canned foods..

  Question: what death rate do you think warrants the panic and stockpiling? 3%? 4%?, 10%?

  Meh.. too early to tell just yet. It seems like this virus is very contagious, and there is not much that can be done to prevent it from spreading. It might be one of those viruses that pop up every year. But I think if we get some good solid non-commie stats, from developed western countries:

  1) it could show a low mortality rate and people will calm down

  2) it could show a high mortality rate and then panic will start.

  Personally, I don’t see a reason to freak out just yet. Let’s see how it plays out in Japan.

  I doubt that China has deliberately not reported detected cases....

  I agree. There is no way the Chinese communist party would release fake numbers. No way, at all, that a communist regime would, in any way, engage in propaganda or distort the facts in an attempt to cover up failures.

  Right, and that is what I see reported: some places you get reports of this virus is killing at rates below 1%, and some reports that it is killing at rates higher than 2%. The Spanish flu was around 2.5%, I believe.

  It sounds like we don’t really have reliable numbers just yet ...

  Do we actually know the death rate of this thing yet? Not sure if undoctored official stats have been released? Or are we waiting for it to establish itself where the government won’t actively try to suppress the seriousness (or non-seriousness) of this virus?

  Do Any Of You Still Think Trump Was Working With The Russians?

  No less than the US intelligence agencies have confirmed Russia's attempt at influence of US elections.

  Yeah, that doesn’t help your case. The US intelligence agencies, all 9 billion of them, have historically been incorrect at best, and partisan at worst. Sorry, but did you see the Comey incidents? You actually believed Clapper when he said 17 intelligence agencies agree, later to be downgraded to 3? The same guy working at CNN now??! I can’t trust these institutions now.

  Nevertheless, they could convince me easily. I’m open to it. All I need is evidence. Show me the evidence. Solid IT evidence. I admit, there is the possibility Russians were in the DNC server, sure. Then again, it could have been some other party. To me, it’s a 50% probability right now. Need evidence... That’s it. The evidence can’t be “the government said so”. Especially when what they said doesn’t make sense.. like: ‘We never examined the server but we know for sure who did this.’

  Why Did Obama win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009?

  by JW_Researcher in

  while even non-peaceful people have been awarded the peace prize (e.g.

  arafat, kissinger), i am confused as to how obama could possibly have won the award one year after being the first term junior senator from illinois with zero “peace” experience (other than his ‘well-articulated’ rhetoric)..

  reading the obama-pining on a couple of posts made me reexamine my view of barry’s presidency..

  I believe it was more for what Obama represented than anything specific he had accomplished, other than being elected President.

  Sweet. So we can all drop the white privilege stuff?

  @recovering:

  Mean me mustard sometimes you make me shake.myhead at your refusal to effect facts. You minimize what has been proven if it does not fit your agenda.

  *sigh*. Right. So, let’s try it. What exactly do you perceive my agenda to be? What are the “facts” that have been “proven”? And by what evidence?
  

  Let’s do it. Let’s talk about Crowdstrike. Let’s talk about the IC releasing reports without any examination of the DNC server. Let’s talk the CozyBear and FancyBear, the patterns they used, how all that connects. Let’s talk about OnionDuke, the metadata on the files, how it can be changed. Let’s talk about the file time stamps and how they indicate a transfer rate higher than the internet capacity at the time... Let’s talk about Guccifer, and finally how WikiLeaks denies Russia as the source.
  

  Just as proof of how powerful Facebook political Influences can be we just need to look to the Arab spring. It changed the face of mideast politics . Look at how many middle eastern countries where involved in either civil wars or the to changes in rulership during this period.

  Yeap, that’s how it happened... USA ran $100K of ads and before we knew it, Arab Spring. We are all just a bunch or morons browsing Faceplant and believing everything there. #Projection
