    Bizarre in Sydney today, morning peak and lunch were kind of business as usual, lots of people around. But then it got to about 5:30pm and everyone just disappeared.

    Like they think the bat virus only comes out at night or something

    There were like 30,000 people down at Bondi Beach during the day today btw

    More on topic
    A friend of mine went to the ER with some symptoms.
    She was told they weren't going to test her because they dont have enough tests to use on healthy people.
    She was sent home and instructed to quarantine.
    Her husband and kids were told they do not need to quarantine
    Not sure we're handling this all that great and probably really underestimating the numbers due to a lack of testing

    CDC estimates* that, from October 1, 2019, through March 7, 2020, there have been:
    36,000,000 – 51,000,000
    flu illnesses

    [​IMG]
    17,000,000 – 24,000,000
    flu medical visits

    [​IMG]
    370,000 – 670,000
    flu hospitalizations

    [​IMG]
    22,000 – 55,000
    flu deaths

    [​IMG]
    *Because influenza surveillance does not capture all cases of flu that occur in the U.S., CDC provides these estimated ranges to better reflect the larger burden of influenza. These estimates are calculated based on CDC’s weekly influenza surveillance data and are preliminary.

    That's because VG doesn't take COVID-19 very seriously is is off on some rant about the common flu
    which kills on average around 35,000 people per year.

    It's now the Chinese Virus.

    Because it came from "Chy-na".

    About 1/4 million to 1/2 million deaths a year globally from influenza.

    Flu vaccines are only effective about 66% of the time averaged for all age ranges

    I prefer SARS 2, because that's what it is

    But Chinese Virus will do, no more bending and over for Chinese Communist Party Propaganda crap

    Yeha but I feel Trump is using it to divide citizens from the Chinese. I think if this is all a big conspiracy then Trump has been played and he's obviously upset, discouraged and embarrassed, so the old Chinese Virus comes out and although the actual terminology isn't racist, it's how people perceive it and will treat Chinese people which will become racist.

    Anyway, next two weeks is crunch time for the US. Number of deaths actually tripled in the last 4 days. We will see what kind of curve you have to flatten in another 8 days

    In 1918 a woman's place was in the kitchen, the KKK marched on Washington, Blacks were being lynched throughout the south, and the word PC didn't exist - this is 2020

    Hmmmm yeah, there's that, but also I think maybe it's about him knowing what's coming.

    Maybe it's time for the Chinese people to rise up
