      Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

      If Corona virus is hype why did Italy just put the entire country on lockdown today?

      Why did 3,500 people worldwide die from this virus?

      Why did the Indian Wells tennis tournament in California, the tennis world's 5th largest event get cancelled this week?

          COVID19 is just another respiratory virus coming out of China. It spread rapidly in China partially due to the fact of a highly condensed population.

              Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

              Now my question is, is this not intentional to destabilize the markets or to create a diversion for something else?
              Does someone have a hand in creating this?
              Could this all have been planed?

              Its a media sensation.
              Scary how something like this can spread across the globe like this.
              Imagine if it was something much more serious.
              Makes a zombie apocalypse more of a reality if something worse than this is to happen.

                This is a totally bogus claim.

                The reason why the Corona Virus is spreading around the world so fast is that the human body has no immunity to it and there is no vaccine for it for at least one year.

                  True, but because there is no know vaccine at this time, the virus will spread exponentially.

                    How the Corona Virus started in China is not known but speculated that due to the very poor sanitary conditions in the Chinese "wet markets" of Wuhan plus the consumption of wild animals located next to a Chinese military biological testing site resulted in an unintentional contamination.

                    Conspiracy theories abound. Pick whichever one suits your beliefs. The Corona Virus is now out in the wild and spreading rapidly.

                      Hey nothing like a good conspiracy. Like to know what people can come up with. Not that it helps due to the nature of this. More fear and panic is not helping anyone.
                      Must say the global community is really slowing this thing down a bunch.

                        What news source are you reading?

                        The Corona Virus is accelerating! The human body has no immunity and there is no vaccine for at least a year.

                        Italy decided today to quarantine the entire country!

                        Israel decided today that all visitors from all countries, must quarantine for 14 days before being permitted to travel.

                          The CDC in the US and Israel already have vaccines in the testing stage. Don't give in the the hysteria hyped by the media.

                            Other than looking at the John Hopkins stats not much else.
                            So looking at that numbers its not exponential like a free running virus should be but more toward linear.
                            Spread it will, but at lease this way it reduces the impact it has.
                            Imagine if there was no action taken.

                            I am not taking this lightly but taking it day by day.
                            Would probably contract this sooner or later.

                            Then not sure if we have no immunity against this how does people recover from this?
                            The best tool against this would be the human body. After recovery would you not have some sort of immunity against this?

                              All bogus claims!

                              Even on expedited trials a possible vaccine is at least nine months away.

                              CEO of company claiming to have coronavirus vaccine says they are moving on to phase one of testing | Fox News

                              A group of Texas scientists claims to have created a vaccine to prevent the coronavirus and, according to the CEO of the Houston based engineering company, it could be approved and available to the public by the end of the year.

                              Could be and will be are not the same thing! A vaccine invented in Israel still has to be approved before it ccan be distributed in the USA.

                              By the way, Slimslob, I believe you are well over 60 years old. You definitely should alter any travel plans in the forseeable future to avoid air travel or mass transit like a subway or packed Go train.

                                I just checked and noticed that they have changed their pin pointing since I first posted the link. They now have just one large red dot for entire state of California and a small one for the cruise ship off San Francisco. They are no longer pin pointing actual communities with active cases.
