>Less people that live in a small town are infected with a cough

Oooooo big story

Ooh my god who CAAAAAAAARES

>>11348558
It's coming for you.

>>11348552
Sociopath posters should be gassed.

>>11348566
gotta get the world population down somehow

>>11348568
There is no reason to lower the world population. We need more people, not less.

>>11348565
You're going to look very stupid in a year from now when all of this has blown over. Go ahead and screenshot this.

>>11348572
Are you serious?

>>11348584
Yes. More people means more workers and researchers, which means more scientific and technological advancement and more resources.

Last time I checked it was only 8,200. This seems to be somewhat of an over exaggeration from some Chinese website, not to mention some people are already recovering from this as well. Most of the cases or half at least are only occurring in the city it originated from, and all of the other countries that did get probably won't get the same outbreak like In China because they are considerably cleaner and more prepared with these things and better healthcare, plus those examples in the other places are actually from Chinese people alone. Did actually research on this too and it mostly seems to be a form similar to various flu's and a different strain from the same type of virus. So considering it's just another form of flu we have seen before in the past, why the fuck is everyone freaking out over it? I think it's just hysteria caused by the media making worse that it actually is, it's still bad but far worse had happened before.

>>11348565
With my luck I'd survive it.

>>11348591
If you want to advance humanity you should first make sure the stupid majority doesn't poison the gene pool

Why hasn't it been spread to Africa yet?

>>11348539
Isn't it funny how a lot of countries got a few diseased chinks despite the fact that the infected are (supposedly) only a tiny minority of chinese population. What a coincidence.

>>11348642
Okay Rabbi

>>11348576
No.

>>11348539
With the strong chinese presence in undeveloped regions in Africa and probably a lot of travel between the two,
do you think it's likely that a nCoV epidemic has already started in some regions in africa and just hasn't been noticed or reported on yet?

>>11348539
what are your chances of dying if you are infected?

>>11349046
Oh that's almost certain.

>>11349052
Not very high actually, most if not all of the deaths that occurred were either those who were already sick with another disease to begin with or old people. It's still scary but most of the people who have recovered are young.

>>11348568
Yes and gassing sociopaths would kill two birds with one stone. The only problem is you'd need to be sociopathic to do so, and eventually it would chain into gassing everyone involved.

>>11349086
do viruses change your dna forever once you get them?

>>11349086
What are the long term prospects?

>>11349086
so basically worst case scenario corona chan comes and wipes out all the boomers and the most promiscuous zoomers?

>>11349092
Like gene therapy?

>>11349095
And probably a lot of kids.

>>11348591
>more people = more resources
I thought this was supposed to be a big brain board kek

>>11349095
Not necessarily, China's healthcare is not very good but they do seem to be handling the virus better than SARS. As for us I'm not expecting any outbreak, neither Japan, Taiwan, or even Thailand are expected to get anything nasty either since they're healthcare eclipses that of China's(yes even Thailand believe or not, in fact 5 people already recovered there).

>>11349096
i suppose
what is gene therapy?

>>11349111
for example viral proteins are used to modify non functioning cells along mucus membranes like the intestine and treat some diseases

>>11349100
someone else was posting in another thread that it hasn't infected any kids?

>>11349118
so viruses do change your dna permanently?

>>11348677
No one wants to go to Africa.

I swear "it's literally nothing" posters are ever dumber than people calling it a doomsday scenario.

>>11349110
>worst case scenario

>>11349123
Potentially they can.

>>11349119
It's infected several.

>>11349128
It's literally nothing. Shall not even kill a thousand screencap this.

>>11348539
>Malaysia: 8

>Indonesia: 0

>>11349088
>The only problem is you'd need to be sociopathic to do so

Nah. Sociopaths are the equivalent of spiders. People can kill them and feel little to nothing.

>>11349103
You should try learning the bare minimum about economics, societies, and civilization. The more people in your social group, the more room for specialization.

>>11349728
Ford would disagree, so would most economists.
Also your assumption is wrong, your social group is oversaturated at birth, the only thing that changes is number of social groups.
Stop being such a brainlet.

>>11349103
Go to /lit/. Reading isn't fashionable, but pretending to be smart and FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE is.

>>11348539
North korea should have it also

>>11349123
Some viruses do, if they have insert sequences. Those that do aren't a concern for you but rather for your descendants a few thousand years from now.

>>11350262
/lit/ is the most self masturbatory board on this site. You can't just talk about books there, they have to be the right type of books.

>>11349095
You're going to feel guilty posting this meme a few months from now, putting aside it isn't true.

>>11350668
?? what mean?

>>11348591
Than that must mean the biggest city on earth is the most advanced utopi- oh wait they're shitting in the streets and building homes out of trash..

>>11348591
Lol. Don't worry about the education system or like the shitty food and cancer making us all retarded, just keep breeding as fast as you can because if 2.2 percent of the population is born a genuis more people means more geniuses! Fucking good move

>>11350690
No worries anon, saying stupid shit is the only real way to learn not to say stupid shit.

>>11350736
If I'm stupid why don't you do me the courtesy of explaining what meme I posted and why I should feel guilty about it. :^) or are you the one posting stupid shit?

>>11350749
The "boomer plague"-meme and the, I don't know, "walking in public without full mask and glasses anywhere in the world is promiscuous"-meme? There's currently no way to check the real data and we already know one of the very first victims was 36 and had no medical condition.

>>11350956
what the fuck are you talking about? How are either of those memes?

I referred to boomers because the elderly are more likely to die from a virus. I said promiscuous because people with STD/STIs are more likely to die from a virus. This is in response to the other poster who clearly wrote >most if not all of the deaths that occurred were either those who were already sick with another disease to begin with or old people

>>11351030
Not him. I think that he does not disagree that the virus is more dangerous to those groups, but by meming that this virus is only a threat to those groups you are keeping people not in those groups from taking this clearly unclear situation seriously.
