If we accept your claim that this virus is insignificant and hardly worth mentioning can you explain why the world is currently treating it in the way that they are?
That was never his claim.
City wide and regional lock downs, hospital building, quarantine centers established, evacuations from China by most nations. Travel bans. and shoot to kill orders in China for those hiding from authorities?
What shoot to kill orders?
And as for the rest, it's called quarantine.
Also, other countries evacuating their citizens allows the Chinese authorities to cater more to the sick, instead of adding potentially thousands of people for them to care for if they get sick. They reduced the burden on China and in particular, the Wuhan region.
Doesn't seem like a trivial viral problem does it?
He did not say it was trivial.
You are literally inventing arguments here and attributing them to people.
Also please explain why this virus appears to be genetically specific and targeted to Chinese ethnicity only? Any ideas welcome..
Where did you get that idea? The majority of those infected are Chinese because that is where the virus originated and infected the majority of the people..
There are people from other ethnicities currently receiving care in Japan, for example, after they became infected on a cruise ship, including several Australians.
However the global response has been considerably more extreme than any previous pandemic I have witnessed in the past. Even the Ebola crisis in Africa didn't solicit such an extreme response.
Then you were not paying attention.
Secondly, Ebola outbreaks tend to happen in small villages and rural areas, not in bustling cities that are major transport and trading hubs in a very populated country.
Perhaps there are factors in this coronavirus that we are no privy to.
- The potential to mutate for example may have been detected.
- There may also be investigations under way to determine if a bio weapon has been deployed.
- They may be attempting to discover whether a common virus has been genetically manipulated. Gene editing can be such a perverse science after all especially in the hands of those seeking revenge against the Chinese Government and national military/civilian homogeneity. There are a number of actions perpetrated by the Chinese Government in recent times that could solicit retaliatory actions by extremist groups.
Scaremongering.
Conspiracy theories are not only not helpful, they are just BS.
The fact remains that for perhaps the first time Australia has established major quarantine facilities on Christmas Island and Northern Territory.
As opposed to locking people up there when they come to Australia seeking refuge?
Bans on Global transport to and from china are in place. A massive concentration of cases exists in China.
Because that is where the disease originated and given its population size in that region, this is hardly news.
The public information may and most probably is seriously understated. Uploaded You Tube video is highly suggestive of catastrophic conditions prevailing in the Wuhan region.
Are these the same videos that showed a woman eating a bat, for example, and suggesting she was there, when it was taken years ago in a different region and I believe was on a small island in the Pacific? Or the videos of people falling over, that were actually also from years ago from Korea?
Maybe watch less youtube videos for your news....
The global reaction to this contagion has been extraordinary and seriously suggests a fear that we are not privy to.
You must have been in a cave for SARS, bird flu, swine flu, etc, then..
Suffice to say that this is no ordinary contagion IMO
It's a virus. Similar to SARS and other flu's..
again you fail to see the global reaction to this novel contagion as being extraordinary. The WHO are conservative by nature. Avoiding global panic would be one of their most pressing concerns.
Again, you must have been in a cave for the other "contagions" that we've seen over the last 10 or so years now.
And you'd avoid less global panic if you stopped posting and believing conspiracies.
The first thing that comes to mind is that the coronavirus was replicated in a lab with in 2 weeks here in Australia.
It was developed here after samples were taken from an infected person.
Any one with the right equipment nous and money could do the same.
And they would need would be to find people infected with it... Given testing procedures, etc.. Just stop..
All the facts tend to suspicion that the current coronavirus may be artificial and the global response so far also tends to validate that suspicion.
There are absolutely no "facts" supporting this.
Stop lying and passing your scaremongering conspiracy laden crap, off as fact.
This virus, it's future mutations etc may not by naturally typical. The global community seems to consider it a much greater risk than the common flu.
What you refer to as "the common flu":
CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.
Fair enough if one considers only that the virus is naturally typical.
There is no evidence to suggest that it is something else.
They have traced its origins to a live market in the region.
Stop with the conspiracy theorist scaremongering BS.
Given all the circumstantial evidence so far, we would be foolish ( being ignorant of the necessary facts) to consider the virus as typical.
I think it is more foolish and ignorant to come up with utter bullshit such as:
All the facts tend to suspicion that the current coronavirus may be artificial
