(L) They're worried that it could further mutate and cause a real pandemic, but the odds are low.
A: Yes
It doesn't mean that there won't be a 'high' death toll. Last year's flu virus (2018-2019) caused about 600000 death worldwide as was posted earlier in the thread. If the coronavirus behaves like a strong flu virus, then that could cause perhaps a million death, which is still nothing out of the ordinary. Yet the way that the propaganda and fear has been ramped up from the get go, then we will hear a lot more about the corona virus as the death toll increases.
I doubt that it will be behave as the strong virus as it to me does not seem very infectious. In close to 3 months there are
now officially 80000 infected. Even with the claim that the Chinese are lying, then that doesn't account for why the cases outside of China are not spreading rapidly. In the news a jump of 100 infected is treated like it is massive. Yet, the normal flu spreads way more rapidly. In 3 months it infects tens of millions if not hundreds of millions.
The stock markets are in full meltdown today.
As mentioned earlier in the thread perhaps that is part of the reason why the corona virus has been so hyped up. It is elite financial interests who own the media. Financial markets and key players have known for a long time that a crash would come and have offloaded their exposure. The corona virus might have been seen as a convenient scapegoat as to why the markets are collapsing and we are entering a recession. The smaller players in the market will bear the brunt of the market collapse and some private pension funds will also be in this category.
French Tourism Crashes By 35% Amid Virus Outbreak; Europe On Recession Watch

French Minister of Economy and Finance, Bruno Le Maire, told
CNBC's Dan Murphy on Sunday at the G-20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors' Meetings in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that the
Covid-19 outbreak will have a material impact on the French economy and the world.
The country's finance minister warned France's tourism sector has plunged following the outbreak of the virus last month. "We have fewer tourists, of course, in France, about 30%, 40% less than expected," Maire said.
So the Corona virus gets the blame. No mention of how the strikes and ongoing protests against the pension reform has affected the French economy. The French government only have themselves to blame as they haven't listened to the people and initiated constructive dialogue. They have been more interested in sending warships to the Mediterranean and to Mali and playing good puppets for the globalist elite than to care for their own population. That is the real reason for the dip in the French economy, but the virus is convenient to blame as they can then wash their hands of any wrong doing.
The elite sees every catastrophe as an opportunity and this virus will be no different.
Predatory Commercial take overs comes to mind. The push for vaccines will become greater and so will the orwellian control system. All of course to protect us
This is an example I think what the panic and the hysteria can do to people's minds. Though I do hope that in the next couple of days the situation will change for the better.
I doubt that it will become better in the immediate future and I also doubt that it will be contained. Despite the yearly flu killing more than 500000, then no efforts have ever been made to stop it.
As I work on international train lines in the center of Europe with trains going all over, I am well aware of the risk of exposure. Quite a lot of Chinese and South Korean tourists are on the trains and the last two months have been no different. The air is recycled, which is also why getting the normal flu happens just about every year to me due to exposure. Air traffic is no different with millions coming and going all over the world, also with recycled air. In our globalised world with mass tourism, viruses spread quite easily across the globe.
One should bear in mind that most of those who die from the disease are above 60 years of age and with previous health problems. The first two deaths in Italy were of a 77 and 78 year old. In one of the cases they were not even sure if the corona virus had any role in the death, but it never the less, still got blamed for the death and added to the statistics.
I continue to have a good dose of Vit C (Ascorbic acid) every day, iodine a few times a week and have bought some disinfectant spray to have with me at work. Rereading Gurdjieff's
