Coronavirus - are we all doomed?

[Steve R.]

I have a lot of work to do for other people

If that is true; how is it that you have time to hang-out here doing non-productive "work"?

@moke123, I don't think your point was taken!

I believe our mainly ignored person lives in an alternative reality where time, space and thought are all distorted...

I'm faster than anybody you know of Steve. That's why

I dont think "faster" is the word any of us would use to describe you.

...don't give a tinkers cuss what annoys you.

Although it is easy to figure out what that term means, I have never heard it. Being the son of a tinkerer, I have been privy to quite a few versions!

That being said, I did a search to see what the good Dr. Google has to say, I came across this.

Does anybody have any idea from where this virus all of a sudden came from? What does your local news says about the source of CoronaVirus?

We had a news a while back that China has announced it has been spread by US (over China) to stop China's improvement.
I also read somewhere that the possibility of it being a bio weapon is high and for some reason it's been spread out.

well you have to realize Tera, that government entities are extremely stupid. and corporations are very slick and intelligent. they will do anything to earn billions. and thus, you have massive computer networks that exist all over the world now, strictly because the people who set them up were seeking billions in profits. so if I were you, I wouldn't put it past any government in the entire world to try and put an effort out there to control the population. that's a very real possibility. corporations and governments are always fighting.

but the only thing I ever heard was that the source of the virus was caused by China, and some say it was the fault of people over there eating bats. no idea if that is true, but this image DID show up on facebook, so ya never know....

@Tera, our news and my network searches all suggest that it was in China at least as early as December of 2019. The epidemiology also suggests that it came through bats, some of whom bit pangolins. Since that animal (a.k.a. scaly anteater) is considered as a food animal in China, people who went out to get them for the open-air markets likely picked up the virus that way; perhaps if nothing else, through carelessness in food preparation. That is one man's opinion based on a lot of net searches.

I don't think it is a USA germ warfare attack. China is notorious for disinformation-spreading and didn't also want to be know for disease-spreading. When I was still employed by the Navy and had a security clearance, there were briefings. I cannot offer details because they remain classified, but I can say that we WERE presented with compelling evidence that China uses all sorts of indirect methods to wage a modern type of warfare on the USA. For them to blame us for corona virus is, shall I put it this way: not unexpected.

Side note: I saw earlier that you had put several people on ignore. I hope you see this.

They've been eating bats for several hundred years. Why now?

richard,

would you call this evidence that they, and russia, are also at war with companies like facebook in the usa, by way of proxy sniffing? just like facebook is doing?

No body believed what they said. Even the person who was reading the news in NHK (Japan's main TV chanel) was smiling while reading their announcement. No one took it seriously. For us it was just as a joke.

I explained it here why I changed my mind

Coronavirus - are we all doomed?

Whoo! Another blast from the past. And a blast from the past from the blaster, at that.

Gent, I saw a graph on television that suggested Italy's death toll was slowing, the curve has not begun to flatten but slowing anything has to be good.

It's out of the scope of corona virus (this thread). Stop high jacking please. If you're eager to know, start another thread and ask your question there.
Thanks for your understanding.

It did for two days (not by much) and then spiked and set a new record of +700. Crazy...

i've noticed this seriousness among you guys. that's one of the other reasons I don't like developing access apps anymore. too many overly-serious people work with it. the fun people are elsewhere. =(
