Trump got them by the balls now.

I fully expect the Trump-meister to say, "That virus in China --- ya, I did that. And it was the most beautiful virus. Really. It really was.".

 

[Orgasmo]

The new virus symptoms are milder than SARS, but more infectious and harder to contain.

 

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

Bat Soup, you'd be safer fuckin a monkey with no condom.

Your not going to believe this...

 

[Dairy Air]

So five officially have it in the USA? Two in Texas, one in Cali, two in New York?

 

[I Am Legion]

I wouldn't sleep on this one....Chinese are everywhere and have very little concern for others....

 

[PRESIDENT TRUMP]

that’s no longer Canada......

this is Canada

Lol. 3.2% of Canada's population are muslim

 

[KnightTemplar]

don't come up here, eh/ Sorry.

Fixed

As long as we take it seriously, it shouldn't be too bad. Things like this only get bad when people roll their eyes and just let it get worse. Also, rat flu (Black Death) is still the Undisputed World Champ.

Agreed. No reason to shit ourselves, but this definitely needs to be taken seriously. The Black death wiped out 1/4 of the planet. And even the Spanish Flu in 1918 wiped out about 5% of the globe. And the planet is a lot smaller now, with populations densely packed.

Sorry to make this political but......................

Trump has little by little been pulling money from places like the CDC we need to deal with shit like this, and plans to cut it more.

I hope this one gets nipped in the bud but if it does not, it could be a pretty relevant election issue this time around.

And of course sooner or later nutters will be coming out to proclaim the virus was manufactured to influence the election.

 

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

Your reminder that the flu is still the reigning champ.

Responsible for over 57,000 deaths in the US last year.

the world would be a better place if some virus wiped out 1/4 of the population. it would put the world population around the time of 1995.

just gotta cross your fingers and hope you are in the 3/4......

 

[faustian]

From what I've read scientists have traced the strain back to snakes. Perhaps these soup bats prey on snakes?

Also some 60yo lady brought it into Chicago via O'Hare. Guess where I am right now and what airport I flew into lol

yep, actually a 1/4 wipeout makes the world a better place, this is based in science

I'm certainly not an expert but from that linked budget, it appears to be pulling funds from areas like racial and ethnic community health & child obesity research but actually increases the global disease detection budget by almost 50%.

 

[faustian]

ive heard the best way to combat it is to immediately build up a strong immunity.

start licking everything. Especially any armrests or doorhandles.

the population growth chat is pretty fucked up when you look at it. There was like 5 billion people when I was born, now its getting close to 8 billion

i think population controls itself in some ways, diseases, wars, violence, desperation, famine and shit, at one point its gonna drop, its gonna drop alot

 

[JAEGERX]

Some asian bitch evaded the blockade in China, went to France and now all of Europe will die, masks are sold out as the viral apocalypse takes over the planet

I disagree. i think the population is going to keep growing exponentially, and the 'western lifestyle' is going to be a relic of the past. everyone will be poorer and worse off.

you should see the population growth predictions for Africa alone, its fucking nuts.
