  1. as I said elsewhere it has not even reached the level of an epidemic IF china is telling the truth. That is one very big IF. of course if one million people actually have it in china that would be about 0.015% of the population of China.

  2. More on the coronavirus …

    https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51048366?utm_source=pocket-newtab

    At the beginning of the outbreak, the Chinese authorities said the virus was not spreading between people – but now, such cases have been identified.

    Scientists have now revealed each infected person is passing the virus on to between 1.4 and 2.5 people.

    This figure is called the virus’ basic reproduction number – anything higher than 1 means it’s self-sustaining.

    We now know this is not a virus that will burn out on its own and disappear.

  3. Oh my god that’s horrific. If the virus is different in all 6 people. Everyone is going to keep getting it and get it some more. Basically it’ll just keep spamming everyone.

    Also note the comments immideately attacking the Epoch times as ‘right wing trash’ China’s social media warriors?

  4. Blackie’s media is already reminding people that Canadians are racist bastards because of their reaction to the virus. Don’t be a racist bastard, welcome foreign diseases to your home.

  5. The Globe and Mail news coverage on the caronavirus, today, is upsetting to me. The following are at the top of the corrupt paper’s main page. First there is the York School Board story, where the school board warned worried parents not to be “anti-Chinese xenophobic”. Second, the G&M has a propaganda piece saying the corrupt WHO says not to worry, that the coronavirus is not spreading. Third, there is an opinion piece from the Globe’s quack health reporter, Andre Picard, saying we should not worry, since more Canadians die from the flu. That’s it. The Globe had been publishing a series of good reports by writers Vanderklippe and Li, in China, but today is the first day in a while no report from them is available.

    I woke up early this morning (5 am Atlantic time), and Europe CNBC had on this British analyst just back from China. He said the situation there is terrible, and the Chinese government is in the process of “shutting the country down”. He says that, given that China was heavily in debt before the outbreak, the effect on the world economy could be bad. Today I am buying some more of a corporate bond ETF (for safety), to make my small-retail portfolio even more defensive.

    The SARS epidemic of 16 years ago infected 8,000+ people worldwide. This moringa the infection count is 4,500, and the pandemic is just getting started.

  6. Hey, its been a 100 years since the Spanish Flu. We need a big cull so Magical Retards and rich SOB’s can play more freely in the brave new world.

  7. Something’s seriously wrong here. Remember Ebola? Swine flu? etc etc? Welp they was mass hysteria in the press about those but now that we have a serious disease here it’s crickets.

    For sure the Canadian press have been told to cool it to avoid panic while the elites prepare the bunkers.

    1. The previous Ebola outbreak was actually helped by a secondary asymptomatic strain that spread much much faster than the killer one. This second strain actually inoculated the population and help it burned out. I don’t think we’re going to be that lucky with this particular bug.

    2. plus ebola came from ahfricah with the necessary medical personnel on the ground *who responded ASAP unlike the chirese*
      plus the msm is very noted for crying wolf. see ‘climate emergency’.
      ie ALL such events are an emergency, even when they actually are.

  8. The only question left to anybody with any common sense is whether the virus was released by accident or whether this is a deliberate act of bio-terror designed to show the uselessness of western democracy and the superiority of both the Chinese people and fascism with Chinese characteristics.

    (Look at us! It takes Americans 10 years to build a hospital for fear of disturbing the habitat of some frog. The great Chinese people under the leadership of the beloved Chairman Xi can do it in ten days!)

    And the CCP would indeed do this to their own people. Chairman Mao made plans in 1948 to murder up to 50 million kulaks if they resisted the revolution, at a time when China’s population was perhaps 600 million. About that many may have died during the Great Leap Forward. The coronavirus isn’t likely to kill nearly that many—not in China anyway.

  9. Here’s an interesting report.

    Canada has been altogether too cozy with PRC since the days of Chretien. Our badly-bearded PM “admires their basic dictatorship”. If China decides to exercise its fifth column in Canada (like this story suggests, or by adopting Huawei 5G, which we might have to do to get the two Michaels returned from captivity in China), I’d say we’re pretty much done. Question is, will the US let this happen?

      1. Or ‘The Stand’, and our very own PM Weird-Beard could play the Trashcan Man in the next made-for-TV movie…

  10. WRT our intellectual better in libel province expounding on how well the chicoms have developed their final solution.
    And right on the heal of the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Any moment now the Kornflake and his co-conspirator Warman will be on this guy to out him as a nasty…..yeah….any moment….uhm….real soon….er……next week maybe (chirp,chirp,chirp).

    Wouldn’t that link fall under the header of scratch a leftist?

  11. From what I am seeing on twitter from many many posts…? It’s not the elderly that are seemingly affected, all I’ve seen is bodies that are young 20-45 yrs old….??

    https://twitter.com/i/status/1221928055855140865NEWS FLASH:…!! Patty Gadju has stated there is no emergency & little to worry about while at the same time those incompetent Liberal FUCKS try to find the 30 other passengers who likely were infected …. somewhere in the GTA. Why the HELL where our airports not on Chinese LOCKDOWN..?

    And the streets of Bejing are EMPTY..!! https://twitter.com/i/status/1221927199881621504

    1. You don’t shut down and quarantine whole cities because of something innocuous – pun intended.
      The Chicoms seem scared shitless.

      1. Damned straight they do Buddy.
        Beyond Freaked out.
        Arresting people not wearing masks…Emptying a city of 22million – shutting down ALL FORMS of TRANSPORTATION.

        Bilogical agent I’m thinking yes.?
        But a Test….or Accidental release.? we may never know.

        In Canada we dont have to worry..Cause Patty Gadju said so. SARC/off

  12. Your best and brightest at work:

    The virus can be spread for several days by people not showing any symptoms, so what were the people on the plane with the sick people told to do ? The virus that has an incubation period of several days to two weeks.

    “All other passengers are advised to continue about their “regular business” unless they begin to experience any kind of change in their respiratory symptoms.”

    Regular business in public, potentially spreading the disease if they were infected

  13. Blackie’s media is going full blast this afternoon that Canadians are racist bastards. Lots of questions from the Unifor media to the Health Minister on what she is going to do about racist Canadians, that may show prejudice towards Chinese people in Canada.

  14. One can safely assume that a Wuhan fish market has been in existence since there was a conglomeration of people, who lived by the sea before there was even a village/town/city of Wuhan. Further, we can assume that the food handling hygiene (or lack thereof) has probably been the same since “forever”. Since I don’t believe in spontaneous generation, one has to assume that something “new” was introduced to the area.

  15. I have a damn cold and cough that I have had since Jan the first. Right now I just might be happy to contract something that will kill me,.

    A number of links to people responsibly reporting the terrible REALITY of the scope of the ‘Wuhan virus’. It is actually too late to contain the outbreak. The Chinese authorities appear to have known since possibly November how serious this flu was. Their inhuman regime held off reporting to the WHO until last week. The anti-human WHO dodges doing what they are overpaid to do by dropping the ball. Canada’s trough feeding government is still letting planes in from China without restriction.

    Everybody, especially in Toronto and Vancouver (shut up, it’s where I live) should be buying well fitting face masks, lots of disposable gloves, and wash their hands constantly. Those supplies will disappear fast enough. Don’t touch your face with your hands, because the virus can enter through the mouth, nose, and eyes. Clorox bleach or other effective handiwipes should be everywhere in businesses, restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Bring your own. I believe the Medical establishment is not being properly warned either. Instead of deplorables, we have become the expendables.

    These are not panic procedures. Just common sense in a country with a ruling class that considers the taxpayers and other inhabitants as unworthy of freedom and beneath contempt. It seems only rational that Chinese communities in Canada will be hit first. Like many other ethnic groups, they live in the same neighborhoods, send their kids to the same schools, and likely have family and friends who travel to China. That “racist” word has lost all meaning. Stand in front of a mirror and keep calling yourself a racist until you don’t care.

  17. Here is a report from the field, so to speak. My friend is a Chinese doctor who now lives in Alberta. She had worked for years at emergency ward in a mid size city in province that borders with Hubei, so she still knows a lot of medical staff back home. Wuhan is a capital of Hubei with metro population around 20 million. Her info – directly from her friends and colleagues – is that the doctors believe that about 10% of the entire population of Wuhan will get infected, which is about 2 million people. This, of course, does not include people who left Wuhan prior to the blockade. She also estimates that perhaps about 4% of the infected patients will die – this would make the possible death toll in Wuhan alone some 80,000. This is anecdotal evidence only, of course but coming from a trusted, professional source. The advice being given in Wuhan is – if you feel you have symptoms – do NOT go to hospital, stay at home as hospitals cannot handle the volume of people. Finally – she strongly admonishes against believeing any official Chinese government announcements insofar the coronavirus.

    If and when I know more I will post it again.

    Stay safe – if you are in infected area, use N95 mask, overdose on vitamin C and ginger, use rubbing alcohol to clean your hands after you touch anything. Supposedly, the virus can survive up to 48 hours outside of the carrier body, meaning if an infected person coughs, the virus stays alive on surface where the cough drops landed. Hope it helps.

    1. Epidemiologist from Harvard on CBC confirmed the “6 different versions” of the virus. It mutates a lot but he also said that it might “only” be a 5% death ratio. He said SARS was 10%. He also said that the WHO f**ked up and “the cat is out of the bag”. In other words, its out and emergency measures need to be taken.
      I wonder how he can say the death rate is probably only 5% when he admits that its mutating quickly.
