Coronavirus **personal experiences** thread

got my packages from china

MY HEART IS PUMPING !!!

Wich is the reaction of postman while giving it to you?

Uche, uche.

A friend who is living in China refuses to leave his house and is having everything delivered. He is over 1000 miles away from the outbreak, but he doesn’t want to take the risk.

Got message from a store, waiting 4 packages still pending.

Good thing is that our wallets will also be in quarantined.

I got my ED20-Ts today, thought I heard some eerie whirring sounds.

Turned out my nice mail-lady delivered ’em with this…

…including a nice friendly virus. :person_facepalming:

Evidence is slowly pointing that China may have massively over reacted to a common cold virus. The numbers don't match up anymore according to many stats.

Over reacted? You mean like Chinese lumens?

You mean the people who died didn’t really die?

7000 deaths this season in the US alone from influenza already and no worldwide emergency declared because that's what happens every Winter.

They may of just wanted a longer holiday this year.

Citation to source would be welcome.

Part of the concern is the family group from which this virus comes:

@hank, I posted a link earlier in this thread. It seems to be a common cold virus but a little more aggressive, that's all. That info is from someone in Canada that has studied the coronavirus and how it acts and mutates for 30 years now.

Edit: Had to search for my post, here is the link again

Here’s a good summary with links:

I haven't followed the links in this thread, but I really hope the Wuhan coronavirus doesn't spread quickly around here like it has in China.

Well, no. The risk of death is significantly different.

The difference is where in the respiratory system the virus is able to attach to cells and reproduce.
Common colds don’t generally lead to pneumonia.

It depends on who is telling the truth and who isn't. There still seems to be a lot of confusion as to what is really going on at the moment. I think we will all get a better idea in a couple of weeks times, which by then maybe everything calms down again. In other countries there are no deaths reported but there are in China. Based on the numbers so far, there should have been deaths already outside China, but there aren't and people seem to be recovering ok.
