not a lot different from the flu for most people....?

Of course it's different from the flu - no one's saying they're indistinguishable, but in terms of mortality rates, it's in the same ball park.

difficult to know what the true mortality rate is at present whens striking post-fact countries like iran and china hardest first....

Not difficult to know the mortality rate at present - your intimations are irrelevant being figments only of your imagination - but difficult to know on a wider time scale as yet.

I don't trust the numbers, that's all. It's like the cultural revolution, never gonna get the true numbers from the horses mouth.

Yes, I know, just as I know you have zero credible basis for your distrust.

It's from the horse's mouth you learnt that there was a virus in the first place.

OK. Astrology leads to astronomy or the other way around.

No, it doesn't.

Really, you do talk a lot of shit, auf. Maybe your comprehension of the standard model is equivalent to your understanding of astrology, but that's about as far as that goes.

You'll start a thread on that, find yourself unable to engage in it, make promises to return after acquiring the relevant knowledge, then never return to the thread again.


And Kiore, can you cut this chap's posts out of this thread and put them somewhere more relevant?

It could make a interesting time for the chaps who like to draw attention for themselves by driving into crowds or going into japanese kamikaze mode by some other means. All they need to do if buy some pepper and set themselves up for a sneezing fit in the crowd with it for a mass outbreak?

With the US case count at least 66 and 1 death*, the Dotard is about to give another presser due at the bottom of the hour:

On the more serious thread thought I was fear mongering with my casual questioning of mortality rates, so here's a link to some proof that it might be higher than the low (but still high) range of deaths.

In my dreams I keep hearing the scuff of worn bootheels on empty highways, and there's this old, black woman in a big field of corn.

What's that mean?
