A terrifying new statement made by Hong Kong’s top epidemiologist indicates that the lethal and fast spreading coronavirus currently ravaging China could infect up to 60% of the global population if it continues to go unchecked. As the Guardian reports:
The coronavirus epidemic could spread to about two-thirds of the world’s population if it cannot be controlled, according to Hong Kong’s leading public health epidemiologist.
His warning came after the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said recent cases of coronavirus patients who had never visited China could be the “tip of the iceberg”.
Prof Gabriel Leung, the chair of public health medicine at Hong Kong University, said the overriding question was to figure out the size and shape of the iceberg. Most experts thought that each person infected would go on to transmit the virus to about 2.5 other people. That gave an “attack rate” of 60-80%.
“Sixty per cent of the world’s population is an awfully big number,” Leung told the Guardian in London, en route to an expert meeting at the WHO in Geneva on Tuesday.
Under such a situation, the death toll would, more likely than not, be potentially massive and devastating.
Thank God we have President Trump in office trying to secure our borders, and limiting the number of people entering the USA unchecked. If under one of the Democratic nuts running for president, we would have open borders, and immigrants would be able to enter the country unchecked, so the coronavirus would be spreading like crazy. Instead, it is under control in America, and hopefully it will stay that way.
Yes, agree. The US have the best President ever
WHEN THIS STARTED I SAW A COMMENT ABOUT THE CHINESE HAVING
TWO BIO LABS IN WUHAN.HAVEN’T HEARD ANY THING SINCE THEN.
???????
So did I, and did they let this out on purpose? I don’t understand why anyone would do such a thing.
I heard the same thing, then nothing. Did someone there let this out on purpose? I just don’t understand why someone would do such a thing. They would have to have an EVIL mind.
What other endangered animals are there that the Chinese can label a “delicacy” so they can keep spreading these global viruses?
I take it you’re a typical steal, pork, chicken and potatoes American who has little experience or joy of having traveled the world and indulged in unusual culinary delights.
So why not blame it on pangolins even if the evidence is tenuous and there might have been a virology research lab in Wuhan which all authorities strenuously claim is not connected with this outbreak.
china have been experimenting with riot control biological weapons to use against it own people and other countries for some times,colonies like hongkong and taiwan and tibet are in very dangerous situation if they keep protesting. Do not forget ours troop on aircraft carriers and other ships they are in great danger aswell The big quetion is where is the cia
The CIA is busy spying on Americans in the USA to justify taking down OUR president.
Yes CIA is corrupted and there are still many muslims or muslim supporter after Brennan who is a Communist and a musli m
It’s amazing how long it has taken for a dangerous lab experiment to get loose out to the public considering how much much has been going on for so many years.
ALL the AUTHORITIES strenuously deny that the lab had ANYTHING to do with the outbreak. Have you GOT that? 😉
