Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak) (143 Viewers)

[Cerval]

So far I've seen:
- Creation of the Chinese government to silence protesters
- Is being used by the media to topple Trump
- Is being used by the Democrats to stop Trump
- Is a creation of the US government
- Conspiracy by the vaccine industry, or something (as we've seen in this thread)
- Something incoherent about panic and sheep masses

All from the same person, followed by something batshit insane like

Lets hope it helps somehow.

I have to say though, I would've liked to have known what "medically high risk" means exactly.

I would imagine it means the patient is suffering from other illnesses and/or has a weakened immune system.

I'm really beginning to worry about my dad who has been a smoker for many years and also struggled with respiratory illness.

That's exactly what I mean, who exactly would qualify for that term? I have "exercise-induced asthma" (something that only is a problem during really intense sports, for example), my younger cousin close to starting college has pretty severe asthma, and I have an aunt that is a breast cancer survivor. Are we all medically high risk? Are only some of us?

I'm not sure. Italians smoke a lot from what I understand and they seem to be doing pretty well compared to China. Maybe this could convince him to at least cut back a bit?

Yeah, not entirely sure, haven't seen what the CDC has to say about it. We've been trying to get him to cut back for a long time, easier said than done for smokers.

What I’ve seen mentioned as high risk underlying medical issues are things like diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, smoking related lung issues.

If you scroll down in this article it shows rough Coronavirus mortality rates for different issues.

I did manage to find this:

http://weekly.chinacdc.cn/en/article/id/e53946e2-c6c4-41e9-9a9b-fea8db1a8f51

Table 1 has a separate section breaking down some preexisting conditions. Interesting that fatalities were higher in the population with cardiovascular conditions when compared to chronic respiratory diseases. Perhaps it's correlated with age.

I just found the study they're referencing too

Confirmed cases in Iran jumped 60% overnight to 987. Official death toll is 54.

I find it fascinating that Trump supporters who you'd assume to be race realists to some degree don't accept the simplest and most likely theory, namely chinese being chinese

If you hear hoofbeats think horses, not zebras

More reports of the general public starting to stock up.

I went to Costco yesterday and it didn't seem that bad, the items I expected to be gone were still there.

Makes me wonder if it's not just easier for the regular healthy indivisual to get corona, sweat it off and move on with life.

Could be. I hope I already had it in January.

Why does the government keep saying the N95 masks won’t work for the general public, but then they buy them in bulk for their various agencies?

Because they are the most effective but not enaugh to stop the virus.
Virus particles are something like 0.12 microns and n95 masks stop only those till 0.30.

Robert Koch institute said just yesterday that the generic masks people buy are absolutely useless.

I heard they are somewhat effective if you are already infected because they stop saliva particles if you sneeze or cough. To a healthy person they are useless.

What if you are still spreading the disease though? Similar to Typhoid Mary, you gonna be remembered as Corona Osman.

Also if you wear a mask while you are healthy and it gets wet it's easier for the virus to infect you due to the water in the mask.
