I'm sure the rest who let our bodies deal with will have a stronger immune response. Our immune system isn't all bailing-wired.

Just like the doctors who gave out chicken-pox shots are now dumbfounded that children are getting shingles a year later. Like that was an improvement, NOT!

I can't believe the Chinese would be impressed with all the bad press they are getting.

So, we are talking less than 0.002% of the population of China, even if the true figure of infected persons is 10x than the latest "official" figure!

The Chinese government loves the fact the U.S. media is willing to spread hype & hysteria over what so far has proven to be a fake epidemic. I'm sure the leaders in Beijing would love nothing more than for the U.S. stock market to take a dive thanks to the fake news they've helped peddle!
While it is a small percentage of the Chinese population it is continuing to spread and it’s not just the media taking notice... so are airlines and the government in an effort to not spread it so it’s not a fake epidemic even if it is overblown.

Honeyman: Not really….

Honeyman: Probably because 75% of the board has you on ignore.

trollinlife: You make me sick!! I’m gonna go have some Chinese food….I love sushi!!!

If not for you obtaining the virus, but how about what it will do to the economy? Dow is about to drop 750 points today.

If it gets much worse and becomes a pandemic we’ll probably drop into a recession if nothing else because nobody can make anything because they are all sick. Trump is supposedly deathly afraid of exactly this before the election...

If this was mentioned already in this thread or another, I apologize for not seeing it.

China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This link is one of a few articles I've seen that says the source of the virus outbreak may be that laboratory, not far from the seafood market we have all heard about.
