I don't believe anyone who says develop and vaccine. It makes no sense whatsoever that you have a vaccine for a mutating virus in the wild. You need to have effective treatment options period. ie. Tamiflu etc.


That's why it's going to take a long time.
So much disinformation out there it's just crazy.

I couldn't remember if I stumbled onto this here or somewhere else. Looked back a few pages and didn't see it.

Anyways, this isn't all that reassuring....

I work at a travel agency that has many large clients and so far we've had one client cancel travel within the next month or so due to the virus. With that said, we've had more disruption due to the Ontario teacher's strike than the coronavirus so far. Of course that's not to say things will not change within the next few months.

Dr. Hatchett served on the Homeland Security Council under President George W. Bush and was a member of the National Security Staff under President Barack Obama.

That statement was made by a foundation that collects donations from the public and has decided it now needs to raise 2 billion in order to fight this virus, one of the charities that started this foundation is called the welcome trust

In August 2014, the Wellcome Trust bought the Co-operative Group's farm business (renamed Farmcare) for £249 million. This comprised "15,997 hectares (39,533 acres) of freehold and third party owned land, 15 farms, including three pack houses, over 100 residential properties, and 27 commercial properties.

This whole group is based on investing it’s donations into pharma companies then selling what they can invest in at an “affordable rate” to third world countries while paying themselves god knows what for this work. This group also started after the USA strong armed Africa into obeying US laws on drug patents..

I don’t like it, seems iffy at best

Stoke. The. Fear.

Have you seen how bad it is in Italy? They have an extremely old population and 0.007% of the population has had the Corona!
We’re all going to dieeee. More people will die driving today than this virus has killed in total. Go buy up all the toilet paper before it’s too late

In South Korea they actually are proactively testing for people infected with corona and that’s why they have the second largest “infected” population.. it’s simply a metric of who’s testing and who’s reporting. The virus is everywhere and community spreading. The good news is.. South Korea can give a more accurate picture of the eventual death rate.. as it sits today at only 0.7% compared to the worlds death rate of 3.4%

it’s simply because South Korea actually is showing the world a “more accurate” number of how many people are infected.

have a good day.

This just broke in Vancouver. Apparently this is a “community case” meaning the person who got it was not travelling recently or knowingly in contact with anyone travelling recently.

B.C. declares COVID-19 outbreak at North Vancouver care home, 6 new cases announced


At this time, I am asking people to consider having virtual gatherings, to consider not coming together, particularly if you have people in your gathering who are elderly,” she said, pausing for several seconds as she worked to regain her composure.
“If you are going to get together, let’s look at refraining from our usual greetings,” she finally continued. “Now’s the time to put some distance between us, to keep our germs to ourselves.”

How to conserve toilet paper. This is an old military trick.
