The same thing happened with h1n1 they developed a vaccine for it 3 months before it was diagnosed in anyone and became a problem.
I no this is right out there. But this is how my thoughts roll.
What if bill Gates is a super villain, some extremely wealthy people develop a god complex.
He owns the patent on the corona virus as reported above. He had been pushing governments to be ready for a virulent outbreak.
He was ignored by all governments, so he thought fuck it, I will show you I am right. Paid of an employee a huge lump of cash to release it into the public.
Kills 2 birds with one stone, gets his population reduction, and makes his bruised ego better, as well as a load of money owning the patent.
Come on it’s plausible right?

Damn that’s interesting. Tencent is a vid company I wonder why they are tracking the numbers.
A lot of odd things going down. People being arrested for social media post, lots of questions surrounding the data etc, What are they trying to hide

Last I knew, Tencent was another one of those “companies” soft-owned by the Chinese government. Like a lot of their computer hardware companies, they’re not really independent entities. They get certain business advantages like stolen IP, government subsidy, etc, in exchange for letting the government tendrils operate inside their business.

" Is the epidemic truly far less serious than conventional epidemiological models predicted? Or is China merely hiding the full extent of the problem?"
A little common sense here points the finger bigly at the latter of the two.

Totally agree. China can’t be trusted, but they can be trusted to lie. If they say it’s bad, it’s 10x worse.

To a degree, but certainly some more than others. If Sweden says they had a great year economically and surplus food, I believe them. If North Korea says it, on the other hand…

Meanwhile, in Australia…
We’ll let a national tour group of eight (originating Whuhan, China) continue it’s tour; after the first two official coronavirus victims are reported in Victoria.
Then, when the tour group visits Queensland, another coronavirus victim report is received.
(When you read that, and presumed, that is correct)
I just wonder, where are they now?
(If you sang that, you’re pretty cool 
)
Just stop, suck a fattie, and think a minute.
Remember when weed would turn you into a nymphomaniacal, devil fornicating, stuttering satirical zombie that would eat the offspring and ruminate with octopus?
But it’s not so bad now…
You still think the guberment are on your side?
PS. I miss that weed.

2% fatality rate, less harmful than the common flu. I have to go with FAKE NEWS for profit. Pathetic bunch that !%. I still favour travel/import ban for everything Chinese, but that’s because of Tianamen Square lead poisoning years ago…

We better pray that this is no more than a normal flu type incident LOL
If not get your affairs in order just in case, no way they are stopping the spread on this genie it is out of the bottle already and getting angry. I have been hearing tell of possible mutations occurring .

The mortality rate of the common FLU in the US is estimated at ~0.095% [1][2]. Compared to 2% (a number that has yet to be confirmed), mortality rate would amount to a 20X difference.
Using the estimate flu spread from 2018-2019 (US CDC [3]), there were 35,520,883 reported cases with a mortality of 34,157. US numbers.
If this were instead 2%, the 34,157 would increase to ~710,417 deaths.
Equally concerning is the rate of complication (hospitalization). For 2018-2019 flu, 490,561 were hospitalized. That’s ~1.3%. The current estimate for nCov has been reported at 20%.
Which, using the same flu stats, would mean 7,104,177 hospitalized. The health care system could not handle this number and would subsequently lead to an increase in the rate of mortality.
The R0 for the common flu is estimated at 1.3 [4]. An R0 of 2.0 is a significant difference for the nCov. Again, this number is yet to be confirmed with values from different sources ranging up to ~4.0.
Despite some of the BS from the media over the years, this is not the flu. From what is currently known, it is the reason we are seeing extraordinary efforts towards containing the spread.
