COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[PannickAtTheDisco]

There must be thousands of people who've travelled on planes from Italy or China currently incubating and spreading this, I think cases will explode in the next few weeks which is too late for the ordinary folk.

Think the shutdowns needed to be pre-emptive and happen now.

I think attaching or quoting your source of information would be helpful so that people can make a judgement as to its authenticity. People do get scared at these sorts of numbers and the one thing that won't help is panic.

Sorry, posted sources the other day so assumed it had been seen, maybe thread is moving to fast for assumptions.

was in one of Dr Campbell's videos ( the 30 % comment ) from there it's maths. 30 % of 7.7bn is 2310000000, 2310000000 * 0.02 is 46,200,000‬

Edit Link to my post with source, others in the thread stated where they saw the 30% verified and one of the comments lead me to an article that said with pretty stringent control measures. struggling to find that link now

Mid range estimates say this will infect about 30% of the global population by the end of the year, even with some pretty stringent control measures. with its currently known mortality rate thats about 45m dead by the end of the year.

Id say some over reaction to contain this thing is needed.

II would say that if there is any realistic chance that this is accurate then we would have already seen countries closing their borders and taking other radical action to restrict movement within those borders.

See link above..

And China for example? where the WHO are basically using them as an example of the way to handle it.

No link, that was from a live update from the WHO on Friday, its the reason they havn't called it a pandemic yet.

Edit: the WHO update was recorded.

Can’t understand how all these people who came back from known areas of contamination didn’t self isolate. Are they that bloody stupid ?
