International Virus outbreak in China (and elsewhere)

With a population of 8 billion people, it's a slight dent. But it does bring home just how fragile life is, and I think we've largely forgot that, especially in the wealthy parts of the world.

With a 2% death rate that's skewered towards the elderly and already sick, it doesn't even match the rate the global population is growing even if every person on earth is infected. As cruel as it sounds, disease is nature's way to weeding out the weak and unproductive. It's a terrible thing for me to say, but sometimes we have to look at things without emotions involved.

If we ever turn into the Borg you guys will be first signed up. If this thing turns into a pandemic with 10's of millions dead make sure you spread the good news that its only a fraction of world population and its a good way to weed out the weak. Should go over well.
 
Where at all do you get this from? I see Chinese people with masks far more than any other group. Saw multiple Chinese people in downtown Chicago with masks on, no other demographic
Are you sure they are Chinese? In cali its the
Japanese and koreans who are considerate an wear masks.
 
... hope everyone recovers

I don't care at all about this... The ebola thing was blown out of proportion and I didn't care about that either.
 
I wonder it by what the nurse said in the video in this thread has the virus mutated into it's second form? This will escalate very very quickly if it does.

You're gonna say a prayer and cry every time someone passes away in this world from various diseases? Unless it's your family or your friends, you likely wouldn't care a single bit. Get that fake sentimental shit outta here. This is a time for logic and facts, not pretend outrage.
 
This stuff drives me nuts, SARS ended up killing a staggering 300 people. 300 people fucking die in a single plane crash. Sorry I'm not trying to downplay death because it truly is a tragic thing but I'm tired of the media acting like this is some global crisis and we should do nothing but stay at home.
