The Swine flu in 2008-2009 killed 2,00,000 ppl in the world.
And I don’t think China did a poor job since the locked down the city which has 100,00,000 population.
WHO announced pandemic that time ‘too.
So other cities has very few ppl are infected.
Italy was the first group of country banned flight from China the what’s happening now?
Anyway I think just wash hands stay home then the issue will disappear to nowhere.

Totally agree - if everyone sayed home for like 6 weeks IT WILL VANISH

Yeah, swine flu SARS MERS all disappeared to nowhere. I believe covid-19 will be the same in months.

Again if you remember swine flu it killed way more ppl.
Media virus is worse than the actual COVID-19.
There are way many ppl are infected but have no symptoms at all.
Like if you check if Tom Hanks carries flu every year probably he had from 30 years ago.

The swine flu killed more people? - we cant really say yet because this virus is still in its infancy (of diangosed persons) - we will see when its over how many people will actually die from it....we are only looking at numbers at this moment in time and its far from over lol

Meaning they have not been tested. The link provided includes confirmed, suspected, and people from China in the US in quarantine. There are many ways to make the numbers appear worse. I'm not saying people shouldn't wash their hands and take precautions but the frenzied state people have put themselves in is not helping them or anyone else.

Maggs there are over 3000 - can you post the link where you are seeing 267?

The CDC alone is not confirming cases anymore - those that were tested locally that were presumptive positive have been granted the leeway to approve as positvie- results do not have to go through them anymore...the CDC doesnt have the live updates...

Yeah we’ll see.
I hope covid will disappear somewhere this year.
The UK strategy is get everybody infected which is a joke I think.
But yeah just stay home wash hands and let’s see what happens.

They were slow in checking if the covid infect human. But after they found it out they locked the city.
If not way more people would get infected like swine flu.
South east Asia has more wet wild animals market and the eat everything but Chinese not really.
Wuhan is a big city here is movie taken by local ppl after the outbreak.

There are a lot third world area and there are a lot first world area.
I’ve been to a lot placed around the world so many cities in China are new and very developed areas.

Sure we can disagree because sending me a video in Chinese doesn't really tell me anything. It's a lot of pretty pictures. Secondly, having third world areas in the same vicinity as first-world areas is problematic.
Lastly, do you know what Wikipedia is? It is not a valid source for anything. While in college, my phd professors would go berserk when people would site from wiki. It's a lot of people posting what they think/believe to be the truth. That is how wiki got started. js.
