Definitely. They have by far the highest mortality rate (around 10%). Has to be much more cases then it is gone out.must be super widespread then. I think they can't cope with it, far worse than they admit
Or it could conceivably be that Iran's medical infrastructure is very bad and that's the actual mortality rate. In line with people who don't recieve adequate medical care.Definitely. They have by far the highest mortality rate (around 10%). Has to be much more cases then it is gone out.
It probably adds little to the rate, but it is still way to high. We are also talking about high government official dead and more of them being reported ill (those people certainly have an adequate medical care and are being tested as opposed to the rest of the country). I mean, out of around 250 cases in the whole country, you have more then 5 high profile people among them. That can't be right for sure.Or it could conceivably be that Iran's medical infrastructure is very bad and that's the actual mortality rate. In line with people who don't recieve adequate medical care.
Yeah, that is most likely.With regards to Iran, I think they are just reporting mostly critical cases which is why the death rate is so high. There's probably so many that have it but symptoms are so mild they haven't even been tested for it to confirm
Nope, not gonna happen.I wonder if this is how the apocalypse begins. It just creeps on us, everybody joking as things get worse, in denial about it until suddenly...boom! It explodes, tens of thousands infected, dying, rioting, hysteria.
feck...crazy times ahead perhaps.
Ask Iran (or was it Pakistan?). They've basically had the 10 plagues thrown at them.I wonder if this is how the apocalypse begins. It just creeps on us, everybody joking as things get worse, in denial about it until suddenly...boom! It explodes, tens of thousands infected, dying, rioting, hysteria.

I don't know if not gonna happen the appocaliptic scenario, but I believe that millions will die and more than one of our circles (family, friends, coworkers, etc..) in these days with so much mobility and the easy way is transmitted, is just a matter of stadisticsNope, not gonna happen.
That would still be something. It's amazing how many filthy feckers cough and sneeze without putting their hands over their mouths.No
You need an N95 mask for that.
And most masks don't fit well enough to give you full protection anyway with air flowing round the sides when you breath in.
That said any mask provides some protection even if only a limited amount. If nothing else if people with the disease sneeze a mask will reduce the transmission of the virus to other people by reducing spray.
Umm, they are not supposed to put their hands over their mouths. I am sure you know that, but phrasing is important in this threadThat would still be something. It's amazing how many filthy feckers cough and sneeze without putting their hands over their mouths.
The Black Death came from fleas.The last couple of pandemics came for pigs (swine flu) and birds (avian flu).
The jump from species to species could just as easily happen from dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters or rabbits. Hell, we all know that the Black Death came from rats.
The disgusting nature of the wet markets is only tangentially relevant.
Both right
There was always a global recession coming at some point soon, this could well be the trigger.Bloody hell, the markets have started falling . Thats my liquidity killed for the next 6 months. Its even worse than when the H1N1 virus hit.
That happens in all illnesess, we can only work with the numbers we know, like flu, like ebola, like SARS, etc...right now is 3.4% and people has way more awarness than any other common sicknessI think it's feasible that the mortality rate is well below 1%, surely there are millions of people who don't show symptons (already proven), or barely have anything and don't report themselves.
Singapore is over 30 and kwait and hong kong over 20. But yes, a corona type virus doesn't fare well on hot weather. But the first wave of flu was in spring and it went down a lot in cases on summer but what was devastating, was the winter after when surged with virulence killing millionsIt will be interesting to see how well it spreads in a hot country.
I suppose that's fair, the blood was from the rats.Both right
Rats had the bubonic plague, fleas sucked the infected blood and they inflected the humans when they jumped from the rat to the human
black death came from the rats and the fleas were the transmiters. But rats could transmit directly to humans too
If it prevents Liverpool from lifting the Premier League trophy, it will all be worth it. At the very least, they won't be having any open top bus parades.I wonder if this is how the apocalypse begins. It just creeps on us, everybody joking as things get worse, in denial about it until suddenly...boom! It explodes, tens of thousands infected, dying, rioting, hysteria.

Isn't nice when 2 people are equally right?I suppose that's fair, the blood was from the rats.
Not when I'm trying to be a smart ass! Thanks a lot...Isn't nice when 2 people are equally right?

Important to note that 94,5% of the total number of infected comes out of China, and I simply don't trust any numbers that come from them (each to their own, I guess). Iran, definitely likewise. If you look at South Korea, albeit a sample size of only 2k, the mortality rate is at 0,65%.That happens in all illnesess, we can only work with the numbers we know, like flu, like ebola, like SARS, etc...right now is 3.4% and people has way more awarness than any other common sickness
Yes, mortality will vary and the stronger the health system the better. Will need to see if they collpase. Is not the same treating 65.000 in hubei than 2000 in the whole corea.Important to note that 94,5% of the total number of infected comes out of China, and I simply don't trust any numbers that come from them (each to their own, I guess).

Yeah obviously, agreed. I think it could get much worse if it spreads in those areas, not good to see a case reported in Nigeria today.Yes, mortality will vary and the stronger the health system the better.

Also, will see if it spreads out in countries in developement with poor health care system (and collapsed) . I know that we tend to be self centered and we thing in our personal circumstances, but the data is global and for now is what it is
I am pesimistic realistic always, but i think is quite unavoidable that will be the worst epidemic/pandemic of the XXI century till todayYeah obviously, agreed. I think it could get much worse if it spreads in those areas, not good to see a case reported in Nigeria today.
