Reminder that this is actually a leaked bioweapon from the National Biosafety Laboratory in Wuhan:

Don't trust a word the Chinese government says. Real infection levels are at least 10x higher than the official numbers and I'm suspicious of the reported mortality rate too.

Speaking of which, I wouldn't trust a word the American government says either since it's now run by a senile orangutan hybrid. Ever since the Americans decided to welcome a circus into their executive branch they have lost all credibility. Anyone with more than two brain cells could've seen something like this coming from a kilometer away:

Federal health employees interacted with Americans quarantined for possible exposure to the coronavirus without proper medical training or protective gear, then scattered into the general population, according to a government whistle-blower who lawmakers say faced retaliation for reporting concerns.

A group of Americans contracted the virus abroad, and Trump administration officials, rejecting the advice of the CDC, recently decided to bring those people back to the United States. More specifically, they were brought to two Air Force bases in California.

Staff members from the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families ... were not provided safety-protocol training until five days into their assignment, said the whistle-blower, who is described as a senior leader at the health agency. Without proper training or equipment, some of the exposed staff members moved freely around and off the bases, with at least one person staying in a nearby hotel and leaving California on a commercial flight. Many were unaware of the need to test their temperatures three times a day.

The whistleblower specifically wrote, "I soon began to field panicked calls from my leadership team and deployed staff members expressing concerns with the lack of H.H.S. communication and coordination, staff being sent into quarantined areas without personal protective equipment, training or experience in managing public health emergencies, safety protocols and the potential danger to both themselves and members of the public they come into contact with."

As the Times' report added, House Democrats have said the whistleblower has faced "professional retaliation" for bringing attention to the administration's dangerous mishandling of the matter.
The Trump administration's sheer incompetence is what led to coronavirus spreading in the U.S. America's own government has unleashed this pandemic on its people.

The virus may not be weaponized. After some research I found the bubonic plague, spanish flu, sars and now coronavirus all originated in China. The Chinese are eating all kinds of wild animals, instead of just domesticated animals. Man has been around domesticated animals for tens of thousands of years and has become immune to their pathogens. With wild animals though, whole different ball game. When was the last time you ate bat soup? :lol: See the problem, we don't have immunity against any kind of pathogen that mutates from those species and every once in a while we get a fluke mutation that causes these pandemics.

Anyhow, folks in rural areas probably don't have much to worry about. The breakouts will be mostly in major cities like NY, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc...Avoid crowded spaces and you will be alright. Life goes on. :bigsmile

Thanks Fatso,

For this useful information. Been reading a little bit, and some recent research seems to indicate that a relative humidity of 50% helps the human body's immune system fight off influenza viruses more efficiently. For what it's worth: https://www.pnas.org/content/116/22/10905 .

Cheers and a beautiful day,
