maybe the rest of the world shouldn't trust china either
I mean should we trust any authoritarian state?
true. the only good info you'll get from an authoritarian state is what they *do*
as opposed to what they say
hecc, applies to less tyrannical regimes too
applies to everything
@ryvergate clearly allah helped them
smh
I still hear people saying this is overblown and the flu kills way more
I have never heard of hospitals getting filled to overcrowding over the common flu
in fairness people who die from the flu dont go to the hospital in the first place
The symptons for most people are mild I believe the issue lies more on how fast corona has been capable of spreading causing like in that article hospitals becoming overloaded and more frequent vulnerable people being targeted thus killing more.
im pretty sure the flu kills people quicker
with 0 warning
corona takes weaks
assuming it doesnt give you a heart attack
It's the lengthy incubation period that's making the difference then
incubation just increases infecivity
and how redonkulously contagious it is
nothing to do with seriousness of symptoms
or what lichlord said
also there's no vaccine for it
there's a flu vaccine
eh
flu vaccines arent that good
in the worse years flu vaccines only help 20% of people that get them
in a few months it's killed more than MERS and SARS combined did, and these got a HUGE head start
Well that mostly the virus mutating like a crazy bastard
every virus mutates
it is hardly unique in that regard
he meant mutation *rate*
it is just doing better because of the asymptomatic transmission
combined with lower lethality rate
yes I meant the mutation rate
the more lethal a vbirus is the better
its mutating the same amount as any other virus tbh
but if its lethal enough the virus will kill its host before they transmit
you a chinese shill or somethin'?
next you gonna tell me you trust they somehow froze the new cases at 80k
