RE: CORONAVIRUS - UP TO DATE INFORMATION ASAP

in #pandemic5 years ago

The single biggest issue with this Virus is it has an extended incubation period - that is people can carry the virus while showing no signs of symptoms for between 2 and 14 days source

This makes controlling the spread very difficult, because the majority of carriers will not appear to be ill in any way until it has taken hold - but can pass it on while they appear quite healthy.

Sort:  

We can't rely on "information" from the totalitarian socialist state of China.

There are way too many conflicting eye witness reports and videos leaking from China daily.

So we are left to the data that can be reliably confirmed.

Being aware of the facts is one of the most important things for all people on this earth right now.

PANIC is probably the worst thing that can happen anywhere, yet there is good reason for concern and fear. However, with all the fud (BS) that I have seen all over the net, PANIC is being somewhat fueled.

I dare say that even on FB I have read all sorts of things, many of which after looking into those things, I found a lot of "conflicting" data and information.

So it is absolutely crucial we are all linked to reliable resources of information and be informed of what we do need to know about as much as possible.

I know I am stating what in every persons mind is "common logic", but with all the 'fake news' out there, it is easy to fall victim to the disinformation and that just makes everything all the more dangerous for everyone.

We rely too heavily on the mainstream media and they are all about the "tabloids/headlines and ratings", which is their bread and butter = MONEY.

They have become unreliable for facts and news, their race to be "first with the headlines and news" without doing the investigating first in this case could be FATAL.

I can't stress enough how vital it is for everyone to stay informed and level headed.

I agree there is way too much sensationalist media and general disinformation, hopefully the simple effective route will be taken where travel is stopped to and from affected areas and any infections found around the world are quarantined quickly to prevent further spread. The actual origin of the virus is inconsequential, it now exists and is deadly so preventing it spreading should be the only priority.

What concerns me is the over 1 in every 3 dead.

Looking at the recovery rate vs the mortality rate.

I don't think that we have ever seen anything like it since the ebolavirus.
