    I figure that the earth has a play or huge virus every couple thousand years that it was bound to happen

    It's in the back of my head a lot. When I'm in public too.The supposed place of outbreak is the Huanan Seafood Market, and that's close to Wuhan Jiang'an Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 7km a way, so it seems a little suspicious. Especially as Bill Gates was talking about this virus beforehand. For the most part, I fear what would happen if the virus became contagious in my country, if anarchy would follow, if my family would be ok. What's even scarier is that the incubation period is up to 14 days, so many could be carriers without showing symptoms, so they aren't quarantined and spread it- it could already be close by. And that allegedly, the numbers of deaths are higher, but are simply being written off as pneumonia, as the CCP wants to give the impression that everything is under control.
    Maybe I'm dramatic...but it's there in the back of my head, making me a little tense...

    Most people who have died were over 60 with pre existing conditions such as diabetes etc. So being freaked out is over reacting. Do a tiny bit of research outside of sensationalist news media and it’s not difficult to find the facts

    It's probably been spread out on purpose because the planet is getting too crowded, pretty telling they put it in China too. That's the obvious place to start.

  • It’s not like AIDS in the 80s.

      But it could become so, or even worse than AIDS if not contained quickly and a vaccine developed. It seems to pass on infection in the same way an the ordinary cold does, so obviously someone with the disease could infect far more people than something like AIDS, and that was bad enough.

        Well all the anti-vax people like mammalover will keep it alive even if we do get a vaccine. People are too stupid nowadays to even comply with vaccination protocols.

        It's the flu. The flu can be deadly to already unhealthy or at risk people. Kids and elderly. 

        These days the media make each strain the next end of the world, apocolypse, outbreak to get ratings, but it is still the flu. 

        Just like AIDS, the bird flu, swine flu, HIV, nora, now Corona. All flu's. 

        The Jim Beam flu is next. It's all fucking bullshit. 

        People with weak immune systems die from flus and that is all this is.

          So AIDS and HIV were strains of the flu? Really? I'd love to see some evidence for that assertion.
