Epidemology 101

Ive been reading and watching

Things... And am somewhat

Puzzled.

Im having a bit of a time digesting

Some of the random developed

Cases...where there is no direct

Link.....odd....very odd

Considering the type of virus

And the host.

Hmmmmm

Re: Epidemology 101

It is from the Chinese Communist biological weapons lab. It is designed to show no symptoms, while being highly contagious. It lays symptomless, for two weeks, to maximize the spreading capacities. It can be spread by contact or by air. It will be spread faster in concentrated areas, where human density is greatest. 

Goodbye urban areas, tourism hubs, and conventions.

A bit over the top there.

While not a good idea to catch,

It is not a death sentence.

But....the way it is spreading....

It is a bit ""odd""

Speaking of conspiracy theories, I thought it was interesting that one of the first places a hot spot popped up was within the Iranian leadership.

It isn't 'odd' when you consider that not everyone is tested, not even everyone with potential symptoms.  People who are tested are those suspected of having the virus or have definitely been exposed to the virus, plus those who have symptoms that actually went to a hospital, and those who are being tested or re-tested before leaving a quarantine.  That leaves a number of people walking around, in the office, riding the buses and planes, who might be infected and carrying the virus, but who are either not showing symptoms, haven't been to a doctor or hospital, or otherwise simply have not been tested, or haven't been re-tested because they didn't show positive the first time they were tested.

People aren't just randomly catching this virus, they have been exposed to it somewhere, even if they don't know where.

Not at all. My brother works with biological sciences and knows his field well. This is what he advised me, just this morning.

Re: Epidemology 101

From what's reported a person can carry the virus and never show symptoms and it can take 14 days for a person exposed to show symptoms.   Makes it very easy to spread with seeming no contact with infected persons.

Indeed. It has the most impact as a psychological panic inducing object, than being actually deadly. Over 48,000 people have caught the virus and fully recovered. 
This virus has been floating around since Christmas. It is the media that is trying to make hay out of it. 
They claim that the virus is tanking the economy. The stock market rose over 5% just today, even with the news of more cases. 
I think that the reason for the recovery is that Wall Street is convinced that Trump will be re-elected. Biden will be made the nominee to try to hold the House of Representatives, where Bernie Sanders will wipe out the Dems majority. 

Re: Epidemology 101

What’s most likely to happen with a Biden nomination is that Democrat tickets will get those millions of Obama/Trump voters back. 

And Bernie Bro’s won’t stay home in near the numbers they did when left with the Hillary option.

Half the time Biden doesn't know what state he's in or who he is talking to. He's a senile old white guy. You think women or blacks will take him seriously?
