I said by Friday there be slow rollout lockdown in New York ( shelter in place). I think the military will be in full control of New York in and out about three to four weeks.

What Coumo just announced is lot faster then what i thought would happen. If there closing 100 percent of business across New York state, that a compete shutdown like you saw in that Wuhan city.

There are full lockdowns in place in Europe. Certain retail and businesses are remaining open. Will likely be the same in parts of the US depending on the amount of cases.

Extraordinary move to lock down a major hub of the world, don’t you not think? Just shops that sell food just remain open potentially?

We definitely there now, so we all see what's takes place inside that city over the next few weeks ( hopefully not months of chaos)

Lets hope the US government not reckless and communities remain protected. There bound to be lot of characters who will get angry the longer the lockdown remains in place and may start rioting. Then we see what the response is by the police and military! I hope it ends up the other way around soon and a virus cure found.

9/11 is nothing compared to the panic we see now.

Some scenes already panic free at this stage.

Not surprising considering the circumstances - and also the lessons from Italy which just recorded 627 deaths today

All of this will have a huge economic effect of course

I saw this on the other thread, on current affairs forum. The last line

You can almost feel the glee jumping out of the screen, thinking a measure to contain a deadly virus is the implementation of a constant moving target of a conspiracy.

There is viruses every year they need to mutate to survive people pass them to each other and older and sicker people catch them and for some its fatal,when you get old enough it usually will be a virus that finishes you off if you have not a terminal illness.

It has always been like this we are just being made hyper aware of it now,and it will be impossible to row back on this social distancing,its a sad day for society.

And this one is closing down countries? Mass job losses. ?Economic downturn?
Your comparisons are severely flawed I think

If we get through this intact it will be a good trial/test run for a more severe pandemic. Luckily for us, Corona doesn't have a higher fatality rate (although it's still 10 times higher than seasonal flu). It should help prepare the world for when there is a more severe pandemic like Spanish flu (which killed 10's of millions)

Social distancing is fine of course, the big issue will be the economic fallout.

Credit to Morrisseeee on another forum posting this video

I watched it and some of the facts correlate with what i have seen online. He put together a convincing case a flu like disease got leaked from Fort Dettrick facility in Maryland in summer of 2019. I would have to fact check every claim on this video for every timeline event, but the theory interesting.

National guard/ army on the street in New York.

I would put it past the deep state to leak a virus. Or it leaked by mistake and knowing what was going to happen around the world placed the virus in China so they get the blame from the world. For me that video is convincing a flu like virus emerged in Virginia in 2019.

It's a theory. Can of course be wrong.

There was a high surge of old people getting the flu in states near Virginia, based on his timeline. Health officials will need to reexamine them to check for the virus. CDC would have just listed them as dying from the flu, and not checked. Can stop blaming America if tests were done on those victims.

Cheerful Spring2

Dohnjoe It very suspicious when the flu surge was happening, The CDC ordered this faciliity to stop what its doing and close. That strikes me they saw something that had them worried?

It isn't the flu that's closing down businesses and wrecking livelihoods,its governments doing that.

The knock on effect here is more transfer of wealth from small businesses to big businesses,Lidl and Aldi certainly aren't complaining either are most of the tech companies.

Cheerful Spring2

Fort Detrick was investigating Sars- Coronavirus diseases
A surge in flu deaths was reported in states around Virginia- summer 2019
The CDC orders a Defence Department bio- lab which studies infectious diseases to cease operations in Aug 2019.
Why did the CDC think was so important to close down this facility?
Then we have breakout of covid 19- Nov and Dec China.
Rest you know.

Doesn't make us more prepared,avoidance and insulation makes us weaker when the next one come you got to face these viruses and build an immunity to them running scared isn't good for us as a species.

I would say Greta and her upper class Extinction Rebellion crew coincidentally must be pretty delighted right now all the same.

Cheerful Spring2

It very weird that breakout in Wuhan there also a bio-4 lab there studying diseases. That's some coincidence, there is a mystery virus linked to bio labs in different countries.

pretty irrelevant. Your theory is nonsense. Large multinationals are just at risk as small companies if this persists.

building an immunity to this virus will be of no use when the next virus comes around. Why do you think they have to produce a new flu vaccine every year?

It is a very fair point. I do think however that as a human race we are very prepared, the death rate is current circa 3-4% for infected persons. Given the death toll of 11,000 it is fair to say that human immune systems collectively are robust. The global population is 8 billion or so, 11,000 is small beans all things considered.

I would be more concerned about human reliance on anti biotics to tackle infections. It has been muted by the medical profession for some time that this has the potential to cause issues in the future as bacteria and virus become more potent and learn to adapt against antibiotics.

Once the dust settles and the hysteria calms down people should really examine how they are allowing media to influence their decision making so easily. The entire episode has been almost Orwellian.

To make money first and foremost as with most things the pharma industry does.If you believe big pharma cares about you and me then you are probably on the wrong thread.

I would question the 3-4 percent because the stronger people physically will just get on with things when they catch the flu,and there will be a lot of these people.

So its unlikely they will ever present for testing,and the death rate is going to be higher within the weaker people,skewing the figures.
