It might slow it down but it is here already and unless we get real lucky it will harm a lot of folks.

I just hope it can be done away with like others were.

Depends on how many liberals get it. Those fkin fruitcakes will be trying to spread it intentionally because they think if they got it everyone else deserves it. What a way to get the Trumpers.

Yet again.

Some joke! ... 50-100 million died on the last big one and global travel wasn't nearly as much as it is now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu


.


That isn't very many out of 7 billion.


The world's population was much smaller in 1918. The mortality rate for the spanish flu is estimated to have been 3-6% of the world's population (and that is without the travel we have today), so with today's population of the world there would be about 200 to 400 million deaths with the same mortality rate (probably would be higher due to easy global travel).

It's pretty obvious that the only solution to this epidemic will be to kill all the Chinese.
We best get busy, there's a lot of them.

It's for the children.

Yes, those are bodies waiting to be dealt with.

Third casein US that we know of, So carriers (infected) have been through SeaTac, LAX, and O'Hare. And a case in Canada.

And these zombies line up and eat from the media’s trough

The Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918 killed over 50,000,000. Data in that day and time was hard to come by so it could have been more or less. Likewise medical care fairly sucked. But 50M is a sobering number and included deaths in the Pacific islands and the Arctic. How'd that happen without air travel?

With dense packed cities, air travel, and the constant mixing of people I can see a death toll in the 100's of millions not being unrealistic from the next epidemic that slips past the front line and makes into the world wide general population.

It's not ALWAYS just a fire drill.
