Well I'm sorry if the three thousand year old Chinese literature didn't document the bat soup.
Google however did.


Along with some other "stuff."

Well..
We can only observe what's developing.. Officially so.
( Let's hope it will slow down somehow.)

Less than half US people are vaccinated against the flu.

Between October- Jan 18, 15-21 million people got the flu in the US. 8-20,000 have died as a result of the flue and complications. Numbers become more precise after the flue season.

Urgent Care and ERs in some areas are often overwhelmed by the numbers who present themselves with flu symptoms.

They are saying on this video people are A symptomatic and don't even know they are sick and can spread the disease. at 2.40 in the video. This is bad. They are sending in 450 medical staff from their military.

This corona virus has the potential to be worse than the Spanish Flu. It takes weeks to get symptoms and can spread during that time when there are no symptoms. It is a new virus so there are no antibodies that anyone can fight off this one.



This year the flu hit hard in many areas. The elderly had a weakened immune system and can't fight it as the younger people. Especially if they have other conditions that weaken them more.


This new virus they don't know too much about. This website has more information.

Dr Jonathan Read, a biostatistics researcher at Lancaster, wrote with colleagues: 'If no change in control or transmission happens, then we expect further outbreaks to occur in other Chinese cities, and that infections will continue to be exported to international destinations at an increasing rate.
'In 14 days' time (4 February 2020), our model predicts the number of infected people in Wuhan to be greater than 250 thousand (prediction interval, 164,602 to 351,396).'

One hour ago; US embassy is evacuating US citizens from guaranteed Wuhan. ( the death toll is rising ( albeit slow) and so is the number of infected people apparently...)

If you look at the statistics, right now this new coronavirus has ~3.1% fatality rate, so that means ~96.9% of people who are newly infected, their bodies (immune systems) are making new antibodies specific to this emerging virus, and doing what the immune system is designed to do and fight it off and is obviously succeeding or the fatality rate would be 100%.

So these "survivors" now have newly formed antibodies that can recognize and eliminate this new coronavirus!

Labs all over the world are going to try and "fast-track" a vaccine, like they did with Ebola a few years ago.
