COVID 19 and the Beast

NWO, vaccines, enslavement, and why it is happening.

I can scarcely imagine a thread title and description less appropriate for the General Science & Technology section of a forum for rational scepticism.

I did not click the link, which I note is promoting the same dubious Youtube account someone mentioned in another thread.

It is your loss, not mine.

Somehow I doubt it.

You're not even a good rational skeptic. At least skeptics will read and listen first before they apply their doubts. You haven't listened to anything in this video.

I see people around the web questioning why such a fuss is being made of this when other viral diseases like influenza regularly kill large numbers of people, so far it seems that 2019-nCoV has a relatively low mortality rate. This is assuming that most cases go undiscovered and the current mortality rate of diagnosed cases is around 3% (watch this number for recalculations) and assuming for every diagnosed case there are say 10 more or 100 more even. Why could it be vastly more? Well as this is already the 'cold and flu' season many people assuming they just have a regular mild respiratory disease may have in fact had a mild form of this virus so there is lots of background noise, testing is also not quickly available and those who get sick and recover rapidly are rarely tested.
The reason this such a big deal and it is not just like seasonal influenza is because we know so little about it. Yes we have a genome sequenced in record time leading to testing being available quite rapidly, and yes treatments developed for the SARS outbreak are already being modified and work has already commenced on at least one vaccine. The reality is that just a couple of weeks ago we were not even sure human to human transmission was possible, it is, but we still are unsure of the reproductive rate of the infection is it R0 1 or 2 like Ebola Virus Disease? Or R0 15-18 like a disease such as Measles. We don't know the source although it is presumed to be animal, perhaps bats via a mammal like civet cats (presumed) for SARS or camels as with MERS CoV both Corona Viruses that would appear at this point to be most similar.
I also hear about fears this could 'mutate' and by this I assume people are using this word it the 1950's scifi meaning, mutation is of course likely but not always a bad thing as mutation to less serious form is also possible. From an evolutionary point of view the virus is usually more successful if the host remains alive and mobile so a 'mild' mutation should spread faster and further.
I field queries regularly from people seeking advice on how to protect themselves from this and so far the consensus seems to be that advice for protection against general respiratory viruses: Hand washing etc hold true for this, as far as masks go the standard paper surgical mask is most useful for infected people to protect others, while probably not very useful and possibly harmful if it gives a false sense of security for the uninfected. What are referred to as respirators, that is N95/FFP2 level masks will give better protection however they are frequently worn for too long or incorrectly. I do see some data that any kind of mask may be useful not as filters but as reminders to not touch your mouth.
