China Wuhan Virus Pandemic

It will be over by June. That’s my prediction.
I hope you're right, but I seriously doubt you are. By June, I expect infection and death rates will have increased by several orders of magnitude; mostly as a result of governments giving up on trying to contain the virus.
 
Corona-chan made big inroads in Scandinavia today, with substantial increases in confirmed cases in Norway(nearly double the number of cases in one day - 212 new cases, 489 total cases), Sweden and Denmark(34 cases on Monday 9th, 514 on Wednesday 11th). Italy got some 2,000 more cases, jumping to 12,200 and something cases. Mortality in Italy is around 6.6%, with the Lombardian region having 8.5% mortality.

On Brazil, current number of confirmed cases is 52(18-case increase in relation to yesterday). 907 suspected cases are being still analyzed, and other 935 suspected cases have been discarded.
 
Europe is a densely populated continent with large numbers of elderly smokers.

It’s not surprising it would spread easily there.
True.

Ah, forgot to mention: Qatar is currently at 262 cases(yesterday, it was 24 confirmed cases - a tenfold increase). An interesting fact: Qatar is one of the main exporters of natural gas in the world.
 
Well a cousin of mine has fallen hook line and sinker for the media narrative of saying anyone who calls it 'Wuhan Flu' is racist or using racist language.

Fuck that. I will not allow the CCP mouth pieces in the media to let China dodge their blame pulling this BS on those who remind the world that this is China's fault. Is it racist against Egyptians to call West Nile by it's name?
 
There's a rather big elephant in the room people aren't really talking about.

What happens when Hajji comes around?
Something tells me the Saudis are going to just flat out say no to it. Like they might be greedy but I doubt even they would stomach the idea of a pandemic in Mecca and their country.

You are assuming, likely incorrectly given Hajji has never before been cancelled, that they are actually in a position to do so.

What about those of us who call it by the objectively superior Kung-flu?
 
Confirmed cases inside China - 80,955 (31)
Confirmed deaths inside China - 3,162 (22)
Confirmed cases outside of China - 37,371 (4,596 new)
Confirmed deaths outside of China - 1,130 (258 new)

Mortality rates remain fairly stable, with slight upticks but still within the same range. Average age of death is rising a bit.
 
Well shit guys, my family may have Corona now, my dad is old and smokes and came into contact with someone who had it 5-6 days ago, no symptoms yet but it’s said to be a 14 day or more period

Didn’t think this would affect me, hope my brother in the hospital is okay, he’s already in a coma and just hanging on, hope to god things get better

We’ll take lots of medicine and hope this dies out for awhile in us

I mean they imposed limits on how many people can enter at a time after stampedes wound up killing people even if it pissed off a great deal of muslims because people getting crushed to death made them look really bad, having an epidemic go out of control because they didn't take action would make the damage to their reputation much worse.

I think there could be some inner politics that’d make enacting this hard

This was relatively too sudden and since this is a thing lots of muslims pay and look forward to at least once in their lifetime, things are screwed and some idiots may insist on going even knowing they have Corona
 
Title changed to the most relevant for the current circumstances.
