Worse case on the Virus

select-fire

Read that Chiner has quarantined a couple of folks who have a new virus worse than the corona... this one does the same but has an extra perk to get into the nervous system. Well that has their bio lab wrote all over it. Something tells me that they have created both and wanting to thin out the population of their country, regardless if it hurts other countries. I think they have the vaccine to cure . Now when this upsets the economy of the world they will come out on top. That could stir some new news of a different world currency, trade, you name it. Now the problem here. IF the virus was to completely rule and kill tons of folks till a vaccine was created , well kiss this economy goodbye. It would be a global recession and everyone is on their own. Folks couldn't make mortgage or rent payments.. well banks would foreclose like they did in the great depression. More bad news, the govt. would basically run our lives more than they do now. Socialism would be a breath away.  Civil war could be in the making when they leaned to hard.  Any comments ?

if this were a deliberate act as a type of warfare by china......even if proven the only response by the USA should be to fast track a treatment or vaccine and with hold it only to our citizens......but i bet here we would give it away to the rest of the world before covering our own bases.....history shows that......

That isn’t how germ warfare works. If your going to use bio weapons you want one that works with in hours after contact, eg. Ebola, Amthrax, and has a high mortality rate.

Really? I would think they would cover up the known factor instead of folks dying instantly. Let it spread and screw up the whole world. This might also just be a test for the next phase.

The economy is being hurt more by the news reporting than by the corona virus. They want it spread so they can blame it on all on Trump. Look at the facts in stead of listening to gossip on the news. The flu so far this year has killed more than 18,000, on average 30 to 50 thousand die every year here in the U.S. from the flu. But if you want to believe the sky is falling that is your right.

 Wait a second, uhmm, China would be in total chaos also from the hordes of citizens. What benefit would they get from their OWN total collapse of their economy also. Not buying it, no one wins.  You still have a better chance of winning the lottery 5 times in a row than dying of corona. 
 The media slams this 24 hours a day of how the world is in total collapse BUT the Democrats travel to their rally's, fundraisers ect. with no concern.

Waltermore has nailed it on the head.

The media is reporting Chiner has it contained ?  Sure they do . Only thing contained is the amount of damage we are trying to control. Thank you that Obummer was not in charge.

I saw an article where they showed satellite pics of the pollution index in China.  Pics of last year were covered with color.  Then they showed current pics.  Almost no pollution colors now.  If the article and pics are not “fake news,” and the pollution index has not returned, I’m going to ASSume that the virus isn’t contained and that the factories are not returning to full production.

I’m less worried about catching the virus and more concerned about the supply chain.

I think you have a valid concern about the supply chain. It used to be the U.S. was pretty self sufficient, at least from a manufacturing standpoint. Now we are at the mercy and whims of not so friendly or healthy countries. Remember when car makers built most of their own parts? U.S. drug companies supplied the world. Electronics from T.V.s to telephones were made here. Now what manufacturing we have is largely the assembly of foreign parts. We exported a lot of pollution but eliminated a lot of jobs and national security. Perhaps this crisis will be a wake up call, but somehow I doubt it. Bob

Not sure of worst case, but I've never noticed healthcare workers wearing full bio suits to treat patients with the flu before.

  This virus cov-19 seems to have a sixth sense to allow transmission without showing symptoms for days also colds with people who are feeling better can spread the virus to others for up to three weeks so why not COV-19?

Just about every picture of patients being treated in the media, not personally YET
