I also did not say you were wrong yet. Those are the opinions of scientists. However, this also just tells us, they are not 100% sure. But how is that conspiracy if that lab had those similar pathogens in store? It is a possibility. They strongly condemn but can't specify what animal caused this...... I keep an open mind about this until proven otherwise, so should you. The wildlife answer would be the easier way out. And this was insufficient, good try. And I wasn't looking for a medical paper, just an opinion. They keep updating that stuff.
1,000 people quarantined in a Tenerife hotel after an Italian doctor from Lombardy spent 7 days there. He tested positive.
You have not been paying attention. You decidedly can make this up. But if you were making this up, you could easily add more conspiracy theory angles for the QAnon crowd.
Well...today Switzerland Croatia and Austria got their first confirmed cases. It is going to snowball from here on out. Which european country doesnt have hundreds of tourists who were in the last week in Milano or Venice?
Not a coincidence. The fans on Weibo were really pissed about Daryl Morey's tweet and would do anything to punish the rockets.
After you wrap your head around that, read this thread from early 2017. Politics rewards simplification in the form of messaging and imagery, but to govern means dealing with the ambiguity and complexity of reality. This is usually done by creating a robust info gathering and decision-making process. We don't have much of any kind of process (by choice) and CoVid-19 is about to slam into our complex network of fragile and inefficient systems.
The CDC and the WHO aren't necessarily "at odds" in their messaging. WHO is correct that countries "could" contain outbreaks, but I don't read them to say that it's likely (especially in poorly governed countries like Iran or Italy). But yeah, it seems like > 50% chance we're going to see pockets springing up here. As I've posted before (in the other thread maybe), some experts in these matters see it probable now that 40-70% of the global population will be exposed. That could be a heck of a lot of death and mayhem. If we can slow it down, we can at least clear hospitals of the normal influx of influenza patients which would help us all be ready for what may be coming. I'm of naive mixed mind about closing schools. The disease doesn't seem very deadly for youngsters and maybe they could build immunity. Some version of this bug will probably be with us for multiple years. (But of course, the snotty little kids would transport it into family homes and multiple generations pretty quickly.)
A vaccine is already developed. At least one and multiple others will develop in the next weeks. But they need at least 1 year of clinical trials if not more. Otherwise you can kill more people with a vaccine than the virus can kill on its own. The 12 months is in fact too optimistic if not an outright lie. Scientists and the WHO say at least 18 months.
