The virus isn't the problem. The people, spurred along by the MSM, are the problem. "I'm scared ATS!" Good Lord, what a wuss.
Do you suppose the citizens living in China, Italy or Iran feel the same way?
We do not have accurate numbers for those places. All we have are uneducated guesses based on zero facts. Also, if you want to compare the sanitation and eating habits of China and India versus the western world, be my guest.
How sad and ignorant of you.
...and yet how accurate. You seriously think there are direct comparisons to a first world nation and countries that squat over communal holes in the ground to crap, eat offal as a staple, and drink and bathe out of the same rivers they throw their dead into with a belief that some pantheon of multiarmed gods will keep them safe? Seriously? PC is fine and virtue signalling is grand when all your desired peers are watching you to see how globalistically pious you are, but common sense is still a thing.
Accurate?
Since when was ITALY considered a third world country?
How ignorant of you.

Does a country locked down almost 2/3's of their population over something not much worse than cold?
Does a country use all their crematoriums in a province (and potentially elsewhere) 24/7 for as little deaths as reported?
Does a country ship in 10's of portable incinerators to handle as few reported cases biological waste?
Does a country enforce the destruction of medical records and assessments over something as mild as a flu?

3. The United States needs to say "no" to globalism in all of it's forms.

How about lets include the number of people who died from the virus vs people who wouldn't have died if there was no virus.
That would be 100%
Apple supplier Foxconn said it expects its China-based production capacity to return to normal seasonal levels by the end of this month, as it steps up efforts to resume operations following the disruption due to the coronavirus.
In a call with investors on Tuesday, chairman Liu Young-way said that more than 50 per cent of the staff normally working at this time of year had returned to work.
Over 90 per cent of China’s state-owned enterprises have resumed production, according to the state assets oversight agency, after fears over the economic impact of the coronavirus escalated with the announcement of economic data for February that was much weaker than expected.
The 48,000 subsidiaries under the 96 central government-owned firms supervised by the oversight agency have reported a 91.7 per cent work resumption rate, following the quarantine and work-from-home policies announced across the country in the past five weeks to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.
As new cases of coronavirus infection slow in China, the country is gradually getting back to work. Authorities and businesses are taking a range of measures: Local governments are chartering buses for workers. Some companies are buying out entire hotels to house quarantined staff. A temporarily shuttered movie studio is even loaning employees to factories that are short on labor.
More Traffic, Night Lights Show China's Factories Restart as New Virus Cases Drop
Tilt Holdings (CSE: TILT) revealed this morning that the company had minor production issues associated with the coronavirus outbreak that occurred last month in China. While the company was not specific, it identified that its Jupiter Research subsidiary is “back online” following Chinese New Year and “minor delays” related to the novel coronavirus.
The company revealed that it still has inventory remaining at its Phoenix, Arizona warehouse from which it is fulfilling customer orders. The company did note that the coronavirus outbreak caused production delays for the firm at their Shenzhen factory, however the factory has now been operational since February 17.

Well, I'm very disappointed.
As for this virus.
I'm more worried about why they are "hyping" it so much, than the actual virus.

Your ATS account predates Trump by 5 years and you think my bravado stemmed from the "rise of the Right" and the installation of Trump? Have we met? I'm Burd, look at my material on this site from 10 years ago and realize a normal man's chest would have caved in years ago from the self abuse I put my sternum through. And just to gatekeep what you'll likely say to that, I see that arrogance is a virtue if you can back it up.

.......just remember the US and UK Left are very different, I'm a proud Lefty but in US terms it seems my politics are pretty Centrist...
Got to disagree with you here mate....anything leftist leaning is deeply frowned upon and in the good ol' US of A you would be stereotyped as a god damn pinko commie bastard.
Boris Johnson would be regarded as 'Centrist' in the States.
