Be advised that these estimates are based on a computer model which is dependent on accuracy of assumptions being included in the model.

    Research on bioweapons is permitted, but use is not. The idea is to make defense against such weapons possible. The claims that the coronavirus is a weapon that was accidentally released from a Chinese lab has been pretty much discounted. The virus appears to be a cross species event from eating infected bats, just like HIV was a result of Africans consuming monkey meat.

    China is NOT our friend. We should cut back on our purchases from them and try to make OUR country more productive and efficient instead of worrying about the poor immigrant caravans from south america.

    The purpose and goal of a communist goverrnment is to secure the future and prosperity of the party members and the elite rulers. They will do anything they can get away with to insure that

    I do think that the population explosion will be solved by a large scale epidemic thinning our ranks (not nuclear war)

    One theory is that they stole it from a US lab (to point the finger back at us) and it leaked out into the public. The bio warfare center in the affected province is also where SARS and the avian flu started and broke out from, so this isn't a first.

    If they are welding people into their own homes this virus must be much, much worse than they're letting on.

    I am really upset after listening to Mike Pompeio (?) yesterday. He was speaking to a group of State Governors and told them the meeting they'd been to in China for governors was hosted by a CCCP(?) Communist Front Organization and all their names were now on a list and they'd been rated by the Chinese as to 'Approachable, Not Approachable, etc' He said they have people in every state including Texas and 2 in California. He mentioned they are interfering in everything and one had even contacted a high school principal in Florida calling him to task about some action! Our SOS was at one time Director of the CIA. He would know.

    If this Coronavirus is an Offensive Biological Warfare item, I am confused. I thought it was unlawful to use any chemical or biological warfare item. How does China get away with having these secret labs if we know about them? Can you produce this stuff if you don't use it and get away with it?

    The above is one of several threads on coronavirus on JoNova's site. My reading is that
    - the gov of China is reacting very heavily as expected
    - reported numbers are being minimized
    - some measures are very harsh for example in high risk areas locking people in their apartments "welded", "windows barred"

    Comments are interesting- some are far fetched but it is not just me that thinks it is worse than officially stated.
