SARS Pt. 2 - Wuhan Boogaloo

[Speaker to Animals]

And God I can't bear to read another "OMZG the racism against Asians is off the hook!" article. They caused this with their behavior. They eat weird shit. They live in unsanitary conditions even when they allegedly become an economic superpower. Maybe there is a reason for the contempt?

The agricultural revolution was almost ten thousand years ago. You don't need to eat pangolins and exotic cats. For fuck sake.

The scientific revolution occurred. We put people on the Moon. If the Chinese are so high-IQ, then why can't they figure out that pangolin scales do not make their dicks bigger?

Yeah but their woman are hot, so I give them a pass, even if they are about to destroy us all

East Asian women are the least attractive to me... to each his own I guess.

UK government declared the threat immanent but moderate in severity. Even the most optimistic mortality rate is about the same as the Spanish Flu, so I guess moderate is the Spanish Flu to them.

Really?

Says WHO.

Spanish Flu was about 2.5%.
WHO estimates this is about 2% (though I'd argue that's really low-balled given the data we have).

The effect of the influenza epidemic was so severe that the average life span in the US was depressed by 10 years. The influenza virus had a profound virulence, with a mortality rate at 2.5% compared to the previous influenza epidemics, which were less than 0.1%. The death rate for 15 to 34-year-olds of influenza and pneumonia were 20 times higher in 1918 than in previous years (Taubenberger). People were struck with illness on the street and died rapid deaths. One anectode shared of 1918 was of four women playing bridge together late into the night. Overnight, three of the women died from influenza (Hoagg). Others told stories of people on their way to work suddenly developing the flu and dying within hours (Henig). One physician writes that patients with seemingly ordinary influenza would rapidly "develop the most viscous type of pneumonia that has ever been seen" and later when cyanosis appeared in the patients, "it is simply a struggle for air until they suffocate," (Grist, 1979). Another physician recalls that the influenza patients "died struggling to clear their airways of a blood-tinged froth that sometimes gushed from their nose and mouth," (Starr, 1976). The physicians of the time were helpless against this powerful agent of influenza. In 1918 children would skip rope to the rhyme (Crawford):

That's just based on the cooked numbers the Chinese central government is allowing out. No reason to believe that these numbers are worse than reality, and actually quite a lot of reasons to believe the situation is much worse than those numbers let on.

I am honestly not going to waste time arguing with you either. You either prepare or you don't. It's not my problem now. We are past the debate stage. I am just sharing interesting information here at this point. Your life is your responsibility. If you are not concerned enough to take the most basic precautions, then I hope the best for you. Darwin Protocol is in effect.

The rate may be the same as Spanish flu but that doesn't mean 50 million people are going to die.
Public healthcare 100 years ago was nowhere near as advanced as it is now and the spread of the virus in 1919-1920 was exacerbated by millions of troops returning home from the war.
This may yet kill 10,000 people in China but it is not going to cause millions of deaths worldwide.
As far as I know, there has not been a death outside of China yet.
I get it, you enjoy prepping. You probably had the same panic attacks over SARS, MERS and Ebola but you are still more likely to die in a traffic accident or by a gunshot wound.
