  1. You scare easy, Ms. McMillan. 2019-nCoV so far has not yielded a particularly severe infection.

    1. Work for the CBC John..??
      ..a ChiCom operative.??

      Seems you know Sooooo much more than the rest of us plebes hmm.?
      How about you lay out your data & EVIDENCE that this is a benign little bug that is harmless eh.??

      ..or maybe just shut yer yap until you truly do KNOW..hmm….??

    2. The number of labs and their testing capabilities do not rise in concert with the exponential rise of the number of infections.

      If you take these numbers at face value, there shouldn’t be cases popping up willy nilly on cruise ships and offices in Germany by virtue of having a visitor from Wuhan pass through — unless the infection rate in Wuhan is much, much higher than they’re stating. Which it is. Take that to the bank.

      1. I do love when the commoners pretend they’re epidemiologists are otherwise possessed of advanced education.

        1. It doesn’t take advanced education to be smarter than you. In fact most commenters here exhibit high levels of intelligence. Beyond that you are not equiped to discern advanced education from basic intelligence and/or comon sense as you posess neither.

          1. Nor does he know shit about education of the regulars here. UnMe is the kind of guy who when told that “the educated among us know how to perform fellatio” will immediately get on his knees with his mouth wide open.

          2. Right. That’s why you’re pretending this video proves anything whatsoever. Kate is talking about issues she has no understanding of because of some hearsay she also doesn’t understand.

            Regarding the education of regulars here: well, there’s usually not much to talk of.

          3. 1. You’re an idiot.
            2. Chicom regime response of corona proves that their data is false.
            3. Stop talking, just stop.
            4. Did I mention you’re an idiot?

            “Regarding the education of regulars here: well, there’s usually not much to talk of.”

            Says a well educated guy who believes that mooselimbs invented calculus and Canada invaded Wiemar Germany.

        2. “Commoners”?

          ROTFLMAO talk about a perfect display of Dunning-Kruger effect.

          Compared to you Kate is Cthulhu.

    3. “Scare easily”? There’s good reason.

      Check this out: Taiwan News reports that Tencent briefly (inadvertently) appears to have released actual numbers of ill/dead — which are astronomically higher than China is admitting to — before quickly changing back to the party line. (Tencent Holdings Limited is a Chinese multinational conglomerate holding company founded in 1998, whose subsidiaries specialize in various Internet-related services and products, entertainment, artificial intelligence and technology both in China and globally,)

    4. Nah none at all, about 7K confirmed by chicoms a week ago jumped to 28K now. Surely nothing to see here… and these are just officially confirmed cases, in other words cases they could not hide.

  2. The true numbers are probably even greater than 250k. China ran out of tests weeks ago. I imagine the stock of antibiotics is also running low right about now. You’re sick, go to the hospital, see a doctor. No test so they send you home. Since you haven’t tested positive for the virus, you’re not counted.
    So go home and die or get rounded up, taken to a camp, or a gym, with a thousand other people. If you didn’t have the virus you’ll get it. No treatment, so you die.
    If you are dumb enough to believe anything the Chinese government says, then there’s no hope for you.

  3. Coming to your town soon.This will be Canada under Trudeau soon but will also include failure to listen to the state broadcaster CBC ,expressing your opinions,owning a picture of a gun,failure to pray to Mecca and many,many more incidents our liberal masters won’t approve of

  4. If the coronavirus outbreak happens to be ten times larger with a mortality rate 5 times higher than official reports it won’t take long for the truth to become painfully obvious. It would be like hiding an angry rhino in my Dad’s packrat garage where the only option is to bust out. My gut is telling me things aren’t as bad as Tencent’s numbers because cases outside of China at least so far aren’t seen as soaring (thank the Lord!). In any case time will tell.

    1. If one has no familiarity with China, one could be forgiven for thinking that China is a first-world nation, especially if all one has seen is “approved” video from the cities.

      The truth is that culturally China is still a third-world country, with third-world superstitions and third-world standards of hygiene.

      On a business trip to China, in a large city near the factory I had to visit, I saw the following:
      – a woman changing the diaper of her infant on a planter outside a commercial building; the used wipes she simply tossed into the soil of the planter
      – people defecating off a bridge into a river polluted with industrial effluent, upstream from people fishing
      – spitting, constantly, everywhere (the Chinese consider spitting healthy, and the more phlegm one coughs up, the healthier it is. Back home in Canada, our office was told in no uncertain terms our lease would be terminated if we couldn’t keep the Chinese employees from spitting in the bathroom sinks and on the floor)

      I’m not overly worried about the spread of 2019-nCoV because what little foothold it’s gotten outside of China has been mild, at best. In first world countries with first-world standards of medical care and a culture that understands basic hygiene, it’s not spreading and it’s not lethal.

      1. well danny boy, I was in Guangzhou the first week of dec/19, and saw nothing like that, maybe you just happened to accidently get off the plane in San Fran, which is a schitt hole first worldy city, and I have sen just as bad right here in toronto, were drunk/drug addled “street people shit and piss right out in the open, or behind planters.Or when I worked for a cleaning service, the women’s shitter was littered with USED sanitary napkins.

      2. It probably doesn’t help that smoking is a huge addiction among Chinese adults. I think I saw more older Chinese men with cigs hanging from their lips than not walking around various cities. Given the harsh respiratory effects of coronavirus being a decades long smoker can’t be a good thing. That said I’m 100% for closing the borders to travelers from any nation experiencing a dangerous outbreak until there’s obvious signs it’s under control.

        1. Good comment Martin.

          The Arrogance & WOKE PC BS that is being thrown against Canadians simply blows me away.

          We have a Minister of Health with a pedigree in Graphic Design – about all the good that waste of skin could do is graph it. Yet all she & her buddy at the CBC (that worn out boot, Measely), can talk about is us “RACIST BASTARDS”…

          Meanwhile Zero Screening – Zero Quarantines for anyone on Any of the 10-13 Flights coming from China daily into Canada.

          I feel so protected…dont you.??

          1. They can call me a RACIST BASTARD all they want. But the safety of my kids trump any virtue they can signal and I’m pretty certain my kids wouldn’t think it would be racist to ban travel to and from China right now.

          2. Not your concern? Well that is splendid, as none here gives a shit about your concerns anyway.

        2. I was thinking that too, along with the air pollution. The coronavirus leads to pneumonia which you don’t want to get if you smoke or live in a polluted city because your lungs are already in trouble.

    2. It will soon. Once people are dying in agony in American ER’s, and the pro-China mainstream media can call it this week’s Trump’s Katrina.

      1. I’d imagine with Nancy’s Open Borders and cesspool Sanctuary City policies a bad American outbreak with many deaths would be spelled ECO TRIPS and they’d be importing the worst cases to speed up America’s demise. I don’t see the risk to Trump here as there’s too much crazy misanthropists on the other side of the aisle. The Dems WANT fewer people on the planet.

  5. Xi Jinping is a follower of Mao who was responsible for the deaths of 30 to 80 million.
    Xi may very well surpass Mao.

    Trudeau is a follower of Castro….
    It’s time that western Canadians take responsibility for their own affairs.

  6. I do not believe the Chinese. I think the Chinese are lying and that they are also using this crisis to get rid of people they find difficult. However that being said, I still think the virus is not as bad as a lot of people fear. It could still mutate and become worse but I don’t think it will.

  7. So if you remove the factor of the corona virus what do you see?
    You see operatives of the communist party rounding up citizens arbitrarily.
    Political party with state sanction, check.
    Arbitrary detention, check.
    Crisis being used as justification for arbitrary detention.
    Now change the date to 1927 and the location to Berlin and tell me what difference does it make.

  8. The ChiComs will not let this crisis go to waste.

    “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
    Rahm Emanuel

    1. Would it kill you to make an iota of sense for a change? Chicoms don’t need a crisis to purge. Just look at what they are doing to your fellow mooselimbs.

  9. We’ve leaped from facial recognition scanners to forehead temperature scanners … as Big Brothers totalitarian toolbox expands.

    1. I’d much rather prefer forehead temperature scanners than the other way Randy Quaid complained about in “Independence Day”…

  10. the evidence regarding corona, sadly includes a dicktatorshit regime famous for lying and lying and lying.
    many unknowns at this point.
    I personally have no formal medical training but the ADMITTED fatality rate is alarming.
    plus as Kate points out, why is it randomly popping up all over the globe? what does THAT portend?

    in another 3 or 4 weeks we’re gonna know a lot more of the present unknowns.
    gauze masks are all sold out in my town. I have a couple left over from last flu season.

    ANYBODY here at SDA bitching about chirese culture visa vi sanitary ‘practices’ matching a 14th century turd world, feel free to do so.

  11. A Sociopathic Government would look at this 2019-nCov Coronavirus as a problem, AND an opportunity.

    Imagine what this virus will do when it gets into a facility full of people like a prison or a Uighar Reeducation Camp? But what happens when the jailers realize they also have been written off too? It will take a year or so, but we will begin hearing rumors of some really horrific occurrences.

    Got a bunch of Rebellious Hong Kong Citizens? Throw the borders open, send all your masks and protective suits to Hubei Province, and let nature take its course.

    Ridiculous? This is exactly what Governor Carrie Lam in Hong Kong is doing as we speak. The panic and disorder will also give you cover for “quarantining” some of your more troublesome citizens. How far will they go to “Restore Order?” It is damned difficult to find the bullet hole in the skull of a corpse cremated because someone said it has 2019-nCov. X It is undetectable if you use an assault rifle for a through and through shot, but then you will not be able to bill the family for the expended cartridge.

    Mao killed over 50 million Chinese People. Do you think his Communist Chinese heirs will be softer?

    1. How about a PLA army base, with close quarter living among the troops? Think they have an antidote or vaccine already?

  12. The numbers of infected and dead were wrong “due to a coding error”. The Iowa caucus numbers were wrong “due to a coding error”.

    About a year ago the meme “learn to code” was introduced to journalism. I’m wondering if they took it seriously?

  13. Call me when a million die in China, about 0.0015% of their population. Let me know when the death toll exceeds the Spanish flu. Shut the world down quickly because we are going to get sick and die, over 250 of us die every minute of every day, without the virus.

    1. I acknowledge you can be right about this owg.
      Ive said the same thing in a more general way.
      can you acknowledge this could be the tiny tip of a world sweeping pandemic by summer?
      lots of the 250 dead lived a long life. or a very brief one snuffed out by the effects of marxism on such things as food production.
      apples? meet oranges . . . .

  14. We’ll get information on the true gravity of the situation—when flyover American hospitals are completely overwhelmed by coronavirus cases (courtesy of “Canadian” carriers), and the pro-China press can blame it all on Donald Trump.

    Meanwhile Chairman Xi is nowhere to be seen. Holed up in a distant palace with satellite TV with six months worth of snacks and baijiu.

  15. If a lot of “old” people die, many won’t give a shit.
    If a lot of kids start dropping that might change some people’s smack down on the numbers. Of course lots of kids die every day from things like malaria and dysentery and few care as its a third world problem.
    If first world mewling quims little precious retards start stiffening in numbers, then we’ll see some sort of reset.

    1. Of course, that is why every time there is flue going around China, … Chicoms lock down cities with a combined population of three times Canada? Or maybe not?

        1. I talk about facts like cordoned off cities and emergency building of hospitals. You talk about data produced by a regime famous for fudging data. You’re a moron. Stop talking.
