That account is made specifically for coronavirus updates, that have a main news account, so far they haven’t posted nothing erratic, after they post the other bigger news channels say the exact things, they done well... so far, so far lol

Oh okay. It's hard to keep up with all the "news sources" on social media now.

Anyways, it looks like the freak-out is about to really take shape from a couple things I've been told. You guys might want to prep up a little if you're into that thing. Should know by Friday.

And the prepping is to potentially avoid being around large crowds. IDK about the South, but it looks like it's about time for the SHTF.

I can say, incoming big outbreak UK probably. A lot of people without symptoms arriving from a big trip recently.

Over here myself I’m just preparing just in case, and man I really would not like a freak out given I work at a store (part time) lol
 
Do we have a prophet on our hands here?

Dow and oil futures have fallen back quite a bit unfortunately.

The Dow futures fell to over 400 down a couple of hours ago, but has since risen sharply to slightly up for the session.
 
This is coming out quicker than I anticipated, with the Aussies releasing that.. UK is about to get rocked.

France has deaths now
It just hit Greece.
Iran's strain from what I understand has mutated from the strict wuhan version

oh boy.

Man, I thought I was being a little under generous with the "by Friday" deal. Leave it to the government to spy on me and call me out and get it done hours after. Rofl, everyone's going to get the whole "no need to panic" thing to try to calm markets.
 
This virus will continue to mutate. Remember many in China who died from it were not listed as death by this virus. Instead they were listed as death by pneumonia. Also America is not testing most cases suspected here now. Bottom line we know there will be deaths but eventually the antibiotics to tx the pneumonia and complications will become scarce. The prices of them will sky rocket. Along with other pharmaceuticals and meds to tx this virus. When this happens it will not be a pretty picture. As I posted before the economic impacts will be staggering. This virus has no vaccine and they are Not close to having one. Like the flu vaccine they are missing it more and more every year because it mutates. This virus is even more complex and stronger than the flu virus. Trusting any govt that they are being honest about it is not something I would do. I’d say it’s much worse than they are saying.

Unless it’s some super virus we have never seen, it’s likely it’s similar in structure (and weakness) to other viruses. If it wasn’t a Coronavirus and they named a new type virus that we haven’t discovered, AND it was December and not late Feb, I’d probably be more worried. But this is kinda normal for an outbreak of this sort honestly... should we prepare and be concerned? Yes. But the hype around this virus is a little much. When I read some posts and comments, I feel similar to say...if someone told you freaking out about a snowfall molded this March and saying it will be a repeat of March 1960....lol everyone needs to calm down and let the data (real cdc backed data) roll in and let the experts speak. The CDC teleconference was taken WAY out of context by almost every outlet that covered it today.

Again, we do not actually know how it's impacted by temperature & humidity yet. Yes, it's in the same family as those other viruses but every virus behaves differently and is in a state of perpetual mutation, thus it's premature to conclude that (this version) of the coronavirus will significantly be affected (negatively) by the kinds of changes we see in temperature & humidity over the next few months without any actual evidence to support it. Yes, a virus will be hindered at very high temps and humidity but does this particular virus begin to be adversely affected at 60, 70, 80, or 90F or 70, 80, 90, or 100% RH? Those are very important questions that have massive implications wrt impacts here and we simply do not know the answer to any of those, assuming we kind of already do without a shred evidence to substantiate it is rash. Sure, I agree that at a certain point, coronavirus spread will be hampered, but I highly doubt will be soon enough to forestall its spread into the United States given that many other countries with comparable or warmer climates than the SE US are dealing w/ an outbreak of Cov-19, which the CDC deems as highly likely at this point.

"
Q: Will warm weather stop the outbreak of COVID-19?

A: It is not yet known whether weather and temperature impact the spread of COVID-19. Some other viruses, like the common cold and flu, spread more during cold weather months but that does not mean it is impossible to become sick with these viruses during other months. At this time, it is not known whether the spread of COVID-19 will decrease when weather becomes warmer. There is much more to learn about the transmissibility, severity, and other features associated with COVID-19 and investigations are ongoing."

Viruses mutate that's 110% normal and expected.

Yeah, I understand that. It's just quick, while everyone is scrambling to figure out a potential vaccine. Complicates things.

Viruses mutate but RNA viruses like Cov-19 do so at a much, much higher rate (several times more) than a DNA virus for example (that uses polymerases of the host cell) which makes this family of viruses that CoV-19 belongs to generally more virulent, and their mutation rate is so high it's almost to the point of "lethal mutagenesis".

My doctor said it’s just the flu to get vaccinated people over there didn’t got sick. He said Wilkes health department is all over it and will get people flu shots to prevent coronavirus.

Ugh... No, the CoV-19 is not the flu and no CoV-19 vaccinations are not available to the general public, nor will be for at least a year.
 
As stupid as this sounds, I really hope none of you are “wishcasting” as you would for snow or severe weather. This is a very serious and fluid situation, this is an event where speculation is not as helpful as say a winter storm.

I mean, the world is over populated. Mother Nature has a way of taking care of herself.. I hate to put it like that.. but what else could we expect from the way they live in that area of the World.. and the speed of travel these days.. (aside from the whole manmade theory)

I bring this up because it's not really us so much "wishcasting" a big outbreak, moreso than the looneytoons over on the conspiracy forums. It's absolutely wild out there where they congregate together all in one place. I saw a video of some guy spitting all over a door handle on purpose a few weeks ago over there in the China area... which you'd assume was a sickness.

Then if for some reason this was being weaponized.. and intended for Hong Kong.. I mean.. IDK... who knows the powerful people and countries in play here for something bigger.
