As more and more cases in the USA are confirmed(110) the question becomes...should we be worried?

Should the world at large be worried? Some public health experts are saying the likelihood is high that China is lying about the number of deaths and that the number is higher.

I was in Saudi when it kicked off before Mers claimed about 400 before it burnt out there. This new strain appears initially a similar threat level.

Considering the common flu kills over 30,000 people in the US annually(and hospitalizes a couple hundred thousand), I don't think you need to start panicking just yet. wink

But we have shots for flu.


Those 30,000, how many neglected to take shots, or refused to?

eThneoLgrRnae
I haven't taken a flu shot since I was a kid and don't plan on ever taking one again. It made me very sick every time the few times I took it. I won't go thru that shit ever again. F*** vaccines. F*** flu shots. I won't submit to having some poison injected into me which makes me sick to supposedly prevent me from getting sick.

I'll take my chances going w/out them because, imo, it's an even bigger risk taking them. thumb up


As a military veteran, I am offered the flu shot for free every year by my nurse. I always turn it down and always will. I was forced to take way too many vaccine shots in the service. Iiirc, I had to take at least half a dozen different vaccine shots in a single day during boot camp. It wasn't fun.

Those 30,000, how many neglected to take shots, or refused to? The flu shot does not give you blanket immunity to the flu. That is a terrible misconception. The shot you received this year immunizes you to whatever the most prominent strain was last year(there are several different strains of the flu.)

Don't get me wrong, the shot can help prevent you from getting the flu if you come into contact with the strain you were vaccinated for... But you can still get the flu, make no mistake.

Putinbot1
Agreed Galan however, you can only plan for what you plan for and herd immunity to the most likely viruses is a good plan. As is immunity for the weakest for the most likely viruses. I have all kinds of shots from yellow fever, heps to typhoid living where I do you have to.

Robtard
Heard a man from the CDC talking today on the radio and he explained that the Flu kills about 0.1% of its infected, while the Coronavirus has a mortality rate of about 2%.

So the potential for a very large number of deaths is there.

But a lot of people tend to think that they are completely immune to the flu just because they were vaccinated.

The shot certainly helps keep the number of cases down, but again, it does not provide blanket immunity to every strain of flu that's out there every year. You can definitely still get sick.

I think the Flu shot here protects against 3-4 of the strains they expect will be the most prolific in a given year? There's still plenty of other more minor strains you're not immunized against.

Still, you'd have to be retarded to not take it.

That's what this guy's sentiment was. Not that it will blow up as fact, but that the potential is there when comparing the mortality rate against the Flu and how easily it's transmitted via airborne methods.

That's around 600,000 deaths in the US alone, if we use the our Flu statistics as a template. Don't know what it'd be in China, but likely far greater.

So the potential for a very large number of deaths is there. True, MERS infected a thousand and killed 400 in KSA that's actually a 40% hit, however it had very low virulence. I know next to nothing about the new one.

Still, you'd have to be retarded to not take it. Yeah it typically vaccinates you for the 4 most prominent strains that were contracted the year prior. Thing with the flu virus(and why there isn't a proper 'cure' for it) is that it constantly mutates/evolves. That's why our vaccinations have to constantly change every year... we try to predict what it will do, but it's really just an educated guess.

Flu shots are a great thing, but a LOT of people tend to think of them as a bulletproof vest that makes them impervious to the flu. Unfortunately that just isn't the case.

Even going with the CDC's 2% morality rate, that is scary considering this is an airborne virus and there's no vaccination against it. Just takes one infected person sneezing in a public area to infect many.

Though it should be noted that like influenza, the victims seem (or at least reported) to be mostly the very young, the very old and those already sick and/or weakened. eg HIV suffers, people going through chemo, people who've recently had surgery etc.

What tells us that the Chinese are taking this seriously and that it's far worse than they're officially reporting, they've shut down their multi-billion dollar gambling industry (larger than Las Vegas), they'd not do this unless it was absolutely necessary.

So if the strain starts mutating/adapting like the flu(and most other viruses) does every year, it could go from bad to worse.

They say it's airborn.



Containment is a lost cause at this point. Not to be an alarmist, but when they say 'Don't panic", it's time to start noticing that big red button.

Oh, shit... if it's really airborn then we're probably all f***ed. Can you cite a source that says it is airborn? Was it the WHO?

I wasn't planning on buying one of those air filter masks but if it's truly airborn then I probably will.

Last I heard, it wasn't fully airborne.

Aerosol is believed to be a method.


I see now from other sources this isn't confirmed.

It's the Daily Mail so take it with a grain of salt:

Did coronavirus originate in Chinese government laboratory? Scientists believe killer disease may have begun in research facility 300 yards from Wuhan wet fish market

As someone who doesn't get the flu shot every year for autism reasons and who was not one of the 61,000 people who died from the seasonal flu in 2017 in the U.S. alone, I have to say that this virus that's killed 1,500 people mostly in China, is absolutely panic-inducing for extremely valid, statistically logical reasons.


Buy gold. Buy guns. Burn your neighbors. Avoid vaccines. It's the only way to protect yourself somehow.

I've said pretty much the same thing, as well, but with far less sarcasm. Your version is better.

I got a flu shot cuz it was free and I was medicated at the time.

The snideness and sarcasm aside, there's two views that are being conflated and that's not fair.

View One: The kneejerker. "The virus has killed almost two thousand people, we're doomed! We're all gonna die!" This view is silly

View Two: Is more of a concern that we need to be vigilant amd not dismissive of this because the Coronavirus apparently has a higher mortality rate than Influenza and spreads about as easily, which gives it the potential for a massive death count. This view is not silly

I've seen US cancer rates between .04 and 5 percent.


Last I heard figures for world mortality if uncontained were estimated at 3 percent, which is not insignificant given the amount of people.

I wonder if it gets better.

This view is not silly it is more fragile than Flu though Rob, so a pandemic is less likely (let's hope)

Somebody please create a vaccine before I go broke.

Don't worry, your main squeeze Trump said "the heat" will make the coronavirus just go away and why people shouldn't be concerned...

he's still saying it. I'm done playing the "what would have happened if obama (or any former president) did this?" or else I'll get a migraine
