I'm a little confused here. The shills have been claiming that this virus is race specific, only impacts Chinese. Have they been pushing a bullshit shit narraive?

At the beginning of the AIDS epidemic the groups affected were the queers,iv drug users,hemophiliacs and....haitians.

We are not even close to the end of the beginning here.

Those are still the people infected with aids, minus hemophiliacs

Middle Easterners are Asiatics so they could have the same traits that other Asians have gotten the virus.

CaptnObvius ago

Well, if you want to expand on that, we're all homo sapiens, so then there is that. Any dumb fucks that think this is an Asiatic only virus is well..........a dumb fuck!

I've heard the same thing as the guy you're replying to. It's obviously not just an Asiatic thing; it's that the affects of the virus are more severe among a certain genetic type. There's also some speculation that severe effect may be linked to a history of smoking as well.

CaptnObvius ago

That is correct to a certain degree, I've seen the science. The key is that it does not ONLY attack Asians, it simply spreads slightly easier within the Asian population, and that is based on some early determinations of it because its similar to SARS, they haven't had time to really study it deeply yet. In addition the virus was weaponized and is already showing signs of morphing and adapting in various populations.

At the end of the day, its not the virus mortality that is the biggest problem, its the impacts it has on economies. If an economy or gov't like China collapses, far more people will die of starvation than the virus itself.

I agree, the virus is bad enough but all the repercussions will be worse. Panic, economic problems, loss of trust among people etc.

AnthraxAlex ago

Bunch of Italians by blood have now died so you can toss that theory right out the window. There is no data that suggests this is only severe in asians at this point in time.

version7 ago

you might be right.

It has a 90 day gestation period, lives on surfaces in open air for a week, and you can be infected multiple times - each time causing further severe symptoms and damage, ostensibly because of an already weakened immune system.

We're witnessing a damage control campaign on a global scale, because we've become a highly connected society living lives of unheard of luxury and this has already disrupted the just-in-time logistics systems that our very way of life depends on. If people knew the true situation, most would be panicking and rioting already in large cities in some countries.

This roller coaster just started to descend. You ain't seen nothing yet.

How is this worse than the swine flu?

antiliberalesociety ago

It already is, "fellow white male" account.

white_male30 ago

It already is

source?

Use a search engine, jew faggot.

white_male30 ago

nice ad hominem, niggerfaggot.

Masaze ago

It's already way worse than swine flu

white_male30 ago

It is estimated that 11–21% of the then global population (of about 6.8 billion), or around 700–1400 million people contracted the illness, with about 150,000–575,000 fatalities

So, how exactly?

CaptnObvius ago

Oh, I agree, I've been battling the shills around here.
