Media are reporting that some people, in North America, now avoid going to chinese restaurants, sales of Corona beers is dropping (FFS!), they fear Chinese people when they cross their path, anything chinese related is a potential death threath... There's a testimony of a chinese accounting in the news this morning stating that some of ther clients refused to meet her in person for the moment and prefer to talk on the phone and emails. The woman is chinese but haven't gone to China since decades.
Its called paranoia and it highlight the fact that we're surrounded by stupid people.
- True, but Chinese people are perceived as being very communitarian and thus most likely to have been in contact with people or products affected by the virus.spl33nidoru
- Yes Coronavirus is definitely in Corona beer.NBQ00

- Oh please. Reports of Corona beer sales dropping? Use your brain and realize that's bullshitnb
- Probably quoting some random bartender. I doubt Corona has released sales figures. Or if they did it's to boost sales!nb

There was a very nervous-looking Asian chap at the bus stop last night, tightly holding a cloth hankie to his mouth. He was so wide-eyed and conscious of himself, it was odd.
Anyway, I walked away from the stop and texted a friend wishing him farewell as I was imminently about to catch Corona Virus, then when my bus came smiled widely at the Asian guy, then couldn't help but chuckle to myself.
Poor fucker. I couldn't tell whether his manner was completely unrelated to al the Wuhan stuff, or if he was hugely conscious of how he looked. If the latter, he wasn't helping.
As amusing as this felt to me at the time, I woke up at about 5am with my infant daughter nestled next to me and I suddenly didn't find it very amusing at all.

On a flight from Toronto to Jamaica, a 29 years old man suddenly stand up and screamed "I was in China recently and I have the coronavirus!" .... They were half way to Jamaica. The plane made a U-Turn back to Toronto!! lol ... He was arrested.

- haha the numbers may be wrong but what he's saying in the first part makes zero sense at all.yuekit
- 3% death rate doesn't mean it's gonna be exactly 3% in all cases.yuekit
- for those that died it's a 100% death raterenderedred
- Well. There is going to be a deviation from 3% but you would expect some deaths to be reported out of 800 cases.shapesalad
- However you have so many factors. 10000+ Cases are hard to manage compared to 800 case across regions of similar infrastructure.shapesalad
- Which would lead to more deaths. Also you have to note, China doesn’t report deaths if the patient died of complications, heart attack for eg.shapesalad
- A person with coronavirus who has a heart attack and dies, is recorded as dying for heart problems not coronavirus. So the numbers are a mess.shapesalad
- Just thought it was weird when he said 17 people got sick in Hong Kong, one person died and that was supposed to be suspicious somehow. One person couldyuekit
- always get sick and die of something. From what I understand this virus doesn't just predictably kill off 3% of the people it infects, the vast majority ofyuekit
- deaths are old people and those with existing health problems. Which you wouldn't necessarily expect to be evenly distributed.yuekit

honestly... you will never get my Wife nor I on a cruise... I've often thought of them as 'sickness incubators'... nobody needs this nonsense:
Trapped on virus-hit cruise ship, shocked passengers struggle to keep spirits up
https://www.washingtonpost.com/w…
"Quarantined for two weeks... Many of the 2,666 passengers and 1,045 crew members on the Diamond Princess are struggling to keep their spirits up, after the luxury liner was quarantined off the Japanese coast Wednesday, with passengers forbidden to leave their cabins."

Approaching 600 deaths and accelerating. If we can believe the official numbers. Probably way higher.

Basic flu kill way more people every years.
So chill the fuck out.- that math is still not right regardless
how many times you repeat it.
if it would be spread like basic
flu you will be dead by now.sted - tbh, his math is not wrong... if it spread like seasonal flu (at worst estimates) you would have a 0.6% chance of death...kingsteven
- it's logarithmic. if it's half as contagious and 20 times as deadly it's gonna be less deaths than flu.kingsteven
- Yeah it also kills more people than terrorism, we know. But right now we don't know where Coronavirus stops. Maybe it accelerates like the black plague.NBQ00
- I lost a link I was going to post where there are some studies that both white and black women may be least affected by the virus, having some protection.robotron3k
- Basic flu doesn't cause 30% (400 million) of China to be locked-down quarantine.BustySaintClaire

They are rounding them up and putting them in boxes....
Fuck. Remind me to never visit China again. I mean... you hear about the Uighur’s.... but this is really like a disaster movie.
