PSA: About That Virus...

[FGB]

A couple links..

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.

*******************

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Chinese authorities identified the new coronavirus, which has resulted in more than a thousand confirmed cases in China, including cases outside Wuhan City. Additional cases have been identified in a growing number of other international locations, including the United States. There are ongoing investigations to learn more.

Confucius say:

Those who live so densely like sardines in a can are mostly likely to suffer from breathing such confined breath.

The concerns&precautions re a pandemic are more than valid.
But, aren't the alarm bells&measures over-proportionate to the official narrative?
- given that it's roughly as infectious as annual influenza outbreaks,
- and that, according to Chinese officials, 106 (the immunocompromised or those who didn't seek treatment, I would speculate) died and only 4500-5000 infected.

And a 11 million megacity under lockdown? For that number?
By the Chinese authorities.

"China introduced tight censorship restrictions on information relating to #coronavirus aimed at controlling the narrative
Those who "disrupt social order" by posting on social media information other than Xinhua, govt sources, risk 3-7 years imprisonment

Not sure what the official censorship is about
To prevent panic or angry riots? (some already threw Molotov cocktails at quarantine-slated central buildings)
To cover up the real toll?
