chuckle at the ironic title, better prep yourself if your country's CDC still listen to WHO for advice

the first example feels deliberately complicated, where gravity constant can be shortened to G_ = 6.67x10^-11, (G_ * M1 * M2 / Rad^2)

you need to be exposed to second hand smoke for long periods of time before it can kill you, the covid-19 exposure take considerably less time in comparison, then again are they really comparable at this point?

smoking is not contagious, a smoker can't infect or kill you directly with cigarettes

Are you comparing covid-19 cases against the sum of ALL cases of *regular flu(H_N_ influenza( A B C D) virus)?

For perspective, how many country will actually restrict travel or even undergone state wide lock down for an outbreak of regular flu??

somewhere between 2.2~(3 | 4 ?), one thing though, unlike SARS, WARS(nCoV) is already contagious during incubation period(14 days) and even before any symptoms cough/fever shows up, this SUPER complicates any measure to quarantine it

short answer is we have to wait for "28 days later", the long answer is... complicated, please take this with a grain of salt

the first tide of WARS(nCoV) "Contagion" have either become ill(hospitalized and quarantined) or dead, so now we're waiting to see if the number of cases outside of China still climbs as a local transmission epidemic

If this tide continues, international country like eg Singapore can super-spread this into global pandemic like H1N1 unless we close off borders and ban all flights/shippings economics/travels...

How viable is such containment actually remains to be seen, lets pray for the best

I'm not sure anybody wanted to be "that guy" who defy "that rule" and gets incarcerated or branded as "Liar" like those 8 other whistle blower doctors... history can always be nicely rewritten since ancient times in China

I don't know which theory is bat shit crazy, a virus with suspicious resemblance to SARS, HIV or just EATING bat shit is crazy

this outbreak proves humans are doomed to repeat the same mistake

You always take things from CCP with a grain of salt, currently it seems like they already f*ked up and cannot cover up this outbreak anymore

looking at the video today on how its portrayal of Hong Kong's struggle with it's identity and existence is somewhat surreal because the Hong Kong protesters in gasmask gives me an eerie cyberpunk vibes
