if you say so

Before it left china it probably already mutated at least once.

yeah, if not twice

What will that successful mutation do?

Jack shit really

ah.. no

It can either make the virus a nothing burger, or airborne aids.

"I took a high school biology class and I fink I'm smart"

could make it go from a simple flu to a ebola/neuotoxin like bug

Oh my god you really believe that shit?

Are you retarded?

have you examined the genetically sequence d profile of nCov?

you really should

then get back to me

It's an RNA virus with some HIV receptors that suggests its somewhat engineered?

That doesn't make it airborne aids

<:facepalm:605399609812189214>

it has all indications that it was the result of a genetic manipulation

not naturally occuring

I'm not doubting that

Im saying its not a bioweapon, or a functional one

i am not saying it is a bioweapon

Its not going to become a deadly flu

MERS virus, with a splash of hiv and ebola.

What is the virus fucking magic and every single virus mutates at once like fucking plague inc?

I AM saying that 9 times out of 10, when an artifical bug is let loose in the wild it mutates in unexpected ways

Heres what happens

Virus mutates

Person fucking dies

That virus is incinerated and cracked down on harder

Non-lethal strains continue to proliferate and spread

Viruses cannot reproduce without a host, killing their host will mean they are less successful at propogation

It's an arithmetic issue

given we have no idea the degree china is skewing the numbers

Let me guess you also believe the SO2 maps

A lot, especially if you know the men there are chain smokers.

the eventual death toll COULD be much higher than we are expecting

I don't believe ANYTHING China reports to be accurate

Those incinerators are working day and night.

I DO believe they have lost control though if it is effecting markets this badly

Haven't seen Xi in a while, maybe he got the cooof as well.
