What we should know "Virus" and be doing.

Even after watching all the dire news stories etc etc., got to say I am still not convinced about this virus. Something does not feel right and I can't put my finger on it. Bearing in mind that the deaths each year from common or garden flu are higher (not to mention RTAs), I am puzzled by all the media hype and outright panic. I would like someone to exp-lain to me exactly what is going on. Until then. I am still not convinced.

I still think it was a work-in-progress, partially-developed Chicom bioweapon that got out by accident.

The New World Order crowd are exploiting the mishap by spreading disinformation, panic and promoting widespread government incompetence everywhere, letting it happen of its own inertia, because widespread testing and effective countermeasures are a day late and a dollar short. I believe there is conscious sabotage going on among the deep state never Trumpers and Democrats to bring on the worse possible consequences in the US to ruin Trump's re-election chances.

Just checking in. still alie and thriving.

It would be easy to dismiss this all as hype
but the numbers tonight reached 1M duubling on 1 week.

CFR (Case fatality ration for flu is around 0.5%
Covid19 is 1.8-3.6%
Less for younger, more for older.
The transmssion is high with an R0 of between 2 and 4

So, this is the real thing. I dont care where it came from. Or whether China will take the blame

Thats for later.

My job is to survive

Better than watching Sky (cough) news, with images of viruses buzzing all around the presenters heads. What's all that about eh?
