Or if that is by design to get it cross borders and second phases could have the intended consequences. It's to early to tell but if the talk that got wiped of chinese social media is true then it has a second phase that is deadly in the form of hesrt failure to those who have been treated (perhaps a treatment side effect). This increases mortality rate and increases chances that carriers get sick, causing a much bigger shit show. We won't know until time has passed in the west and recoverees either stay healthy or get sick again which should be about a fornight or so if following Chinas timeline. If so then, at least in my mind, it most certainly was not a standard coronovirus and was being fiddled with but I'm already assuming it was a lab breach based on response, the coincidental distance of the lab, the lab working on animal viruses, their previous close calls and the international, governmental concern seen so aggressively. Time will tell and those who'll know for sure are most likey in the ground in china. 

I wouldn't be surprised if Xi Xinpig was downplaying the mortality rate just to save his own ass.

I wonder how he's downplaying it outside China?

The Diamond Princess is still the closest we have to a controlled environment where everyone got tested. They did of course separate people on the ship so infection rate of 705 out of 3700 is on the low side (with predictions of 40% to 70% possibly getting infected)

Those 705 cases are closely watched, 10 have recovered, 6 have died, 689 are still sick of which 36 critical.

One thing is for sure, if you get sick you're stuck with it for several weeks to a month. The first case was discovered Februari 1st, a passenger from Hong Kong that stayed 5 days and had already left the ship 6 days earlier. 3 days later the ship docked in Japan and was quarantined. Februari 4th, 25 days ago, 10 people tested positive and despite separating passengers it still climbed to 705 today.

Half only have mild symptoms, yet 5% need serious hospital care. Mortality rate won't be known until all the cases have been resolved but also depends on the age of the passengers.

Death rate in Italy is already up to 2.6%, 9.6% serious/critical :/

You're making a mockery of a very serious crisis that's threatening thousands of lives. Furthermore, I have a friend from China who may be at risk of exposure to the virus, but I doubt you have the empathy to care about her.

i am sorry , can you pointed where is the mockery words did i wrote?

^Both times you made a mockery in this thread of the outbreak.

Is that what you call mockery??? I don't think so. I bet you just to sensitive to the situation. Or perhaps you just hate me personally

Well wouldn't you be if it felt like mankind was on the brink of extinction in the 2020s?

So you have some kind of power who can read my state of mind??? Great. Also you can predict the future and the outcome of the virus break, Cool.

Corona virus isn't even close to an extinction level threat.

Humor is a good way to deal with things out of your control and especially for dealing with useless fear. Of course humor is very subjective and can easily be misinterpreted.

A mockery would be saying things like the flu is much worse, it's all media hype, just wash your hands and you'll be fine.
Exaggeration is almost as bad, nowhere close to an extinction level event but there is the possibility that it will claim more lives than WW2 did.

Watch some of those movies and laugh at how horribly wrong they got things when you compare them with RL. Of course those movies also feed conspiracy theorists, must be some lab spill / engineered virus.

12 Monkeys is great btw, one of the best movies ever. Children of men comes right behind it. But no, nothing remotely close to that is about to happen.
