      Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

      In case you missed it, today, Federal Agents arrested Dr. Charles Lieber, chair of Harvard University's Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, with lying to the Department of Defense about secret monthly payments of $50,000.00 paid by China and receipt of millions more to help set up a chemical/biological “Research” laboratory in China. Also arrested were two Chinese “Students” working as research assistants, one of whom was actually a lieutenant in the Chinese Army, the other captured at Logan Airport as he tried to catch a flight to China - smuggling 21 vials of “Sensitive Biological Samples” according to the FBI.
      Oh, almost forgot. The research lab the good professor had helped set up? It’s located at the Wuhan University of Technology. Wuhan China is ground zero to the potentially global pandemic known as the “Coronavirus”which is both spreading rapidly and killing people.
      This is Stephen Coonts international spy novel stuff happening in real life - and it has barely made the news. Share

                    Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

                    Just for some perspective here, the CDC reports that around 80000 people died last year from the flu.
                    This new corona virus has a long way to go before it catches up.
                    I'm not saying the new corona virus isn't bad, but influenza is still much worse.

                      at the rate this one is spreading.. I feel you are sadly wrong. It is spreading faster in a short amount of time than ANY other flu type virus. up to eight in the USA as of this morning.

                      deaths in China are over 3k.

                      first reported in late December...

                        Actually, the average annual death count is 74,363 for all pneumonia and influenza cases. Of that only 8.5% are from influenza.

                        If it were to go pandemic world wide, experts expect it to be as bad or worse that the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918.
                        China'''s coronavirus has '''the same death rate as Spanish flu '''

                          Not sure where you got the 3000 deaths in China.
