Much ado about the common flu. Actually, this moronic panic is about a virus that is even less lethal than the common flu. And FORTUNES are being lost on Wall Street because of the panic.

 I have a close friend who lives in Wuhan as well as many connections in the Chinese community in the US. From what I have heard from my friends there, they are shocked that the US Media and WHO are taking the numbers from China as credible. They believe the most sinister of the claims, that the virus was weaponized, that it likely got out unintentionally, and that there is a massive cover up underway. Most disturbing thing I have heard is that they are running out of ways to incinerate the bodies fast enough and all cremation facilities are overflowing.

Sea Wolf, I watched a hidden phone video from China that purportedly showed the Chinese shooting Coronavirus victims in a hospital. I couldn't verify ANY of it, but the pistol reports were almost certainly those produced by a lone gunman on a firing line. They didn't show this happening, only some of the panic during the shooting, and the police and ambulance vehicles without their lights on. I'm not sure what to make of that video, but it's out there.

 Communism has a long history of downplaying and covering up undesirable events.  Chernobyl comes first to mind, but I am not convinced the USA would do better in this situation.  It is a Global Economy as they say with people and goods traversing one end of the globe to the other in days if not hours.  A pandemic is an eventuality the world will have to face.  The question is whether it is Covid19 or another virus that will cause millions of death.  My guess is that even though Covid19 is obviously more lethal than the flu, warming weather will limit its overall threat.  Lets hope China is more honest out of the gate on the next one.

 According to the CIA fact book 19,200 people die every day from all causes in China. That means since the corona virus emerged seven weeks ago nearly one million people have died. 2000 victims of corona isn't even a rounding error. Wash your hands and don't eat bats. You'll be OK

                Wow, you lot are so waaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy of the mark here.WHERE TO BEGIN, OK.The N95 masks are worthless you might as well put a banana on your face.The particulates are so small N95 is not even the 3rd best mask.You have to grade up 3 levels in the mask dept and thats just for starters .It lives on surfaces for up to 9 days it is airborn.Smell a barbecue? smell cigarette smoke? ........congrats you just inhaled Covid19.THE CRF number is what you need to know.1. the CRF number for this virus is 2.4%2.The CRF number for ordinary Flu is  0.1%CRF ='s the deaths  from 'Confirmed Cases'The R nought number is around 3.5 to 4.5This means 60% of the worlds population gets it ok, this is not up for debate this isProven medical fact.So of the 60% 2.4% die...ANOTHER FACT.This equates to 106'560'000 people worldwide.These numbers are conservative by the way and only use official WHO and Chinese info                  which is worth less than a junkies promise.But it doesn't matter really because...It reinfects you do not become immune if you catch it and survive.And the re infection is much worse and kills you stone dead and fast.Not just from the virus re infecting you either.So if you are one of the 60% and survive you have to live in a bubble until you die or risk                   dying anyway.So all you can do is DONT GET IT.That means isolate now and isolat for 18 months if you have to until a vaccine that works                is found.Want the skinny? go and watch the only person worth watching for accurate sensible info.DR JOHN CAMPBELL on youtube.The above is accurate and is extremely conservative.Welcome to 2020.

I really don't believe Xi cares too much what his citizen think about him.  The world is watching but how much do other nations of the world influence his decisions in China?  Time Code:  4:10 is right on the money.  China is not reporting accurate data.

 Whatever we do, I think it's VERY IMPORTANT to listen closely to the CDC. I realize there is distrust for the U.S. Government but now is not the time for that here in the U.S.. My mother dedicated her life to the CDC as an infectious disease prevention specialist and I can tell you, with an absolute certainty, they are good people there and work hard to keep the American public safe. They are dealing with misinformation and half truths from China, as is always the case in socialistic and communistic countries. Lastly, my advise is stock up on N95 non-valve fitted masks every chance you get. If the infection makes it here, which I truly believe it will, and if you go out in public, wear your mask and do NOT touch your faces untill you have washed your hands. Bottom line, don't be scared or anxious about this. It's life. Face it head on and, if you or a lived one get it, make sure as you can your body is ready for it and kick it's ass! 👍

Timecode: 4:13 -- He talks about trust in the given numbers by china:quote "We all know, that all of the numbers coming out of china are suspect..." /quote endWell, I think it is in general a given, that all numbers given by officials are prone to bias. So in this case, it might be right to say that China is interested in keeping the numbers low, but it is also highly likely, that counter players are interested in keeping the numbers high...How your you see it?
