    Its nothing more than hysteria which allows central governments to exert more control over the masses. The World Health Organization has no problem signing up to the hype because it is a chance for a big time funding boost.

    They are now claiming the incubation period is 19 days and they claim it is highly contagious during this time. Both cannot be true based on the spread. They are big on hype, light on facts.

    Spread in Iran worries me, the Trump embargo/sanctions on meds is going to make it difficult to fight the disease. They've lost 8 people on 43 cases. This shit show spreading on war torn and poverty stricken middle east then towards Africa (Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Libya) would not be good news.

    Nevermind extremists making efforts impossible fore healthcare professionals.

  3. No doubt you are worried about Iran.

    While cheering for dead Americans that can be politicized.

    Situation normal.

    Never enough dead Americans for you.

    H4... its a good thing you're not a political strategist.

    If this thing takes off in Iran... Trump will relish the opportunity to say he's "bending the rules" and sending meds to help the people there. He'd love that. Shows his "compassionate side". Shows he cares about the people... not their govt.

    Never let a good catastrophe go to waste.

  5. Yes, of course.

    Trump has already started down this road with North Korea.

    H4Bullshit is not familiar with how the mind of a stable genius works.

    This, if true, is not so good. How long can people accept being quarantined? Specially if the government keeps them in the dark. I believe it is now 30 days. I pray for them.
