"YALL NIGGAS ARE FUCKED"

Seriously, I thought general practice with naming pandemics was not to give them names that automatically sound ominous as all fuck?

Either way, China needs to step aside and let foreign aid workers in. We'll even air drop food for the motherfuckers, just let us fix this you commie dipshits!

If they are doing Tai Chi, that might also be a part of their traditional Chinese "medicine" treatment.

Does Tai Chi even have any value as an exercise? Whenever I see it I can only think of that time a Chinese MMA guy fucked a shiester up in like a round. They couldn’t encourage something cooler like Hun Gar, or Bajiquan, or Wing Chun? The last one might even let them foment that Anti-Japanese shit they like to use sometimes. The Nips apparently have some historical hatred for it.

But don't you see? They have fixed it, China has changed the definition as to what being infected really means. So no worries guys, it's not that bad.

Nice to see the WHO are handling the most important part of the crisis.

Remarkably it's been a point of contention since early January. I think it also normally takes longer for viruses to get real names, so I wonder if they actually expedited whatever that process is. They've been trying to get people to stop calling it the "Wuhan virus" forever now because it's considered very bad practice to call viruses by their place of origin. Leaves a stain on the city's repuation, and tbf even when viruses aren't named in this way cities who have had epidemics have their tourism destroyed. But come on, WuFlu is just too good.

I'm behind on WuFlu news lately but I strongly believe that media & health orgs (particularly the latter) have been underplaying or optimistic towards the virus because it's going to slaaam economies. I think I heard somewhere that the effect is already visible. They're trying to keep people from hoarding gold or stashing money under their mattress or something, but it would be much easier to contain w less cleanup & economic devastation later if it was just taken seriously.

It's more that you want to avoid people freaking out and levee en masse to their local hospital because they have a cold. Or the flu. 'cause that's how things spread.

You know how the Diamond Princess is now coronavirus central? Well you don't do that.

Given how large and concentrated the outbreak is it'd be unbelievable if it didn't at least harm kids who are immunocompromised. Not all young people are in good health after all, and if the epidemic becomes big enough it just becomes a matter of "when" the very unhealthy ones contract it. It would just be bizarre for none of them to be affected, even if victims skews towards older. Also iirc I think there were reports of cytokinestorm a while back, which can be a route for "healthy" young people to die. The duplicity is concerning. The fact that their duplicity is enabled/encouraged by health officials is maddening (specifically in regards to the deflated infected patients number).

Why are children 'missing' from coronavirus outbreak cases?

So far, it seems that youth protects against the worst effects of 2019-nCoV.

^ they explain the resilience of young bodies & immune systems, but worth noting "Similarly, Johnson said, adults are 25 times more likely to die from chickenpox than children are. And though influenza can be devastating for infants, older children usually make it through with more ease than adults, Johnson said. Seasonal flu death rates in adults are 10 times that of death rates in children." it's not that children don't die, just at lower rates. last I heard the youngest death was in their 30's (this could be out of date). If it's still true that no children have died yet that seems insane, right?

I wonder if they're bagging three kids at a time to hide the numbers, or if they're running out of body bags.

Or both, both is posible.

Yep.Plenty of kids with underlying conditions that could make them susceptible like cystic fibrosis or severe asthma, and kids who are already immune compromised from disease or child cancer patients who are going through chemo and whose immune system is out of action because of that. Imagine that disease getting in a pediatric ward full of sick kids via a single nurse, doctor, or even more likely, a visiting parent or relative or maybe getting in via some air con system. Devastation. Ordinary healthy kids may not have so much of an issue, but there is a population who are always going to be prime fodder from easily spread contagious disease especially if it's airbourne like this thing is.

I was wondering this same thing. Also isn't there video where a guy filmed inside a van or medical service vehicle to show some body bags and people here were surprised by the shape/how small? anyone know what I'm referring to? lol

yea like it had the perfect name lined up, it's a flu, it's from WUhan and it sounds chinese. why would you not go with that name? probably don't want to give evil internet trolls credit with coming up with a name for it.

Why don't they just call it by the name it was referred to when it was developed in a biolab?

We just need to take your temperature, open the door.

The video was earlier in the thread. I think the OP needs to be updated as the thread is going fast and lots of pertinent information has been posted.
