I work for my nation's Public Health department and the amount of people who contact us thinking they're going to die because they ate Chinese food or took a plane from anywhere is astounding. Based on China's study of 72,000 cases a couple of weeks ago, this is your likelihood of dying if you catch COVID-19. As you can see, your chances as a young person are pretty low (and I'm assuming nobody aged 70+ is a GGD user). It's those with pre-existing issues such as weak immune systems, respiratory or heart issues who we need to worry about and prioritise. This virus is very similar to seasonal flu.

Irrelevant 20,293 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 sis lives in Beijing and it's literally a ghost town. basically everyone is locked in their homes for nearly a month now and only orders take out for food (I'm extremely grateful to the delivery people for working extra hard in this period of time ) And so many people can't earn money to sustain themselves because their shops are closed or they can't work, it's a really unfortunate situation. To all the monsters around the world, please just be wary of the virus situation and don't panic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying all the figures are fake but typically in Wuhan it’s not what you can get things right. And also ppl follow political closely all know WHO got tons of money from Chinese government and they don’t even been to Wuhan until this week. Im not suggesting ppl should be panic but the virus spreading quicker and easier than SARS. This is truth. And ppl have better body conditions also don’t have to overreacting over it.

Queen Bitch 10,513 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I honestly don't get why people from countries hit by the virus are even allowed to travel to other countries. They’re just asking for it to spread even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have busy life’s and you can’t expect countries to close their borders to everyone because that would cause HUGE legal problems for the country and for people living there or visiting that country.
