Makes me wonder about being sick on and off for two weeks, feeling fine for a while until my son went back to school, then BAM! Straight to Pnuemonia!

Yeah, Seattle area.

Ya'll can "hurr hurr you got's da 'bola!" but I'm the one struggling to breathe since Thursday and only managed to start coughing up the avocado in my lungs yesterday morning and got my x-rays that showed multiple pockets of it deep in my lungs.

I guess we'll see. If I stop posting, ya'll can laugh about da coronabola. Roll Eyes

Coronavirus is indeed a large and common family of viruses. The problem that arises is when a rogue strain starts to spread, like the SARS outbreak of 2002-3, and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome virus of 2012.

For weeks I've been noticing reports here and there of people struggling with some kind of persistent cold (including my mother, though she seems to be getting better finally). And here as well. I'm wondering if there's a connection.

Let’s put this into perspective based on comparative epidemiology. Last year in the U.S. there were MORE than 3,900 deaths due to seasonal influenza. The U.S. population is roughly 30% that of China, where FOUR people passed away in the last two weeks. Even though seasonal influenza doesn’t cover the entire year, let’s say it did. That means (for 3900 mortal cases) roughly 10.7 people on average died per day in the U.S. due to a common flu outbreak (last year the flu wasn’t notorious).

10.7 deaths/day x 14 days x 1.2 Billion/400 million (give or take the numbers on this last pop’n ratio) gives us a correlation against the 4 deaths in China, which is 449X. In other words based on what we know so far (China could be hiding real numbers), a standard flu outbreak causes 449 Times the number of deaths on a per capita & presumed transmission time basis than the hype-it-up-some-more-because-it’s-a-slow-fucking-news-day strain of the Coronavirus.

People are beyond stupid sometimes and must love to run around like Chicken Little. The Press speaks and many Squawk.

It's nothing new.


Corona can be as common as RSV , which most children have been exposed to. Corona can also be the SARS strain, which has a fairly high mortality rate.

Here we go... did you read the entire thread? Where are the SARS-like numbers with this latest outbreak? Are we supposed to run around scared, which the Press want, b/c a common virus rears itself, one w/o a significant deleterious phenotype? That’s the point against which some of us are making.

Not to mention the SARS mortality rate has been cited as high as 10%. Miraculously the early 2000 rate in US was 0%, of course only 27 people got it. Go figure.

Link at The Hill

Similar to da 'bola. Mortality rates cited as high as 90% by WHO. Cases first diagnosed in US ever totals 4. One of those died, so a 25% rate but a sample size too small to be statistically valid. And that dead guy lied about his prior contact with the disease, so he sorta earned it.

^^^^ That guy has an agenda against the Chinese, similar to the lame stream media's agenda against Trump. Not to mention he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about when it comes to infectious disease transmission.
