:aktion033w-thumbs!^ good to see you coming around now. An apology to us wouldn’t hurt. But I won’t make you. I’m sure there will be something else you guys were collectively wrong about. We can try again then.

Don't let it ever be said that I don't admit when I was wrong. I never came out and said they were the same. But, I do think I under-estimated
the differences. Even the video explains that it was a reasonable "mistake" to make.

For the vast majority the flu is far worse - I have never seen or heard of anyone with flu that felt great (no symptoms) - for the people that get symptoms it seems the flu is much worse - BUT for the rare 3-5% that really get the affects it is much worse - it's also worse in the contagion aspect - typically flu is near 1 person spreads it to about 1 person - this is like for every one person with it he infects 3 other people

Much respect.

Unlike some of the others, you will admit when you are wrong.

most people that get the Chinese flu , don't know it , or have mild symptoms.... If you get some serious symptoms , the symptoms are flu like.. that's an accurate comparison.. its not like the Chinese flu matches up well with a back ache... nothing with this kind of thing is ever exactly similar , but there are similarities here... we'll see how the final numbers play out.. could be a little worse.. could be a little better

You have been clueless about this since the start and still are. Pretty much everything you post about anything makes zero sense.

I still think we don't have accurate numbers around who is getting this thing because:

1. A lot of people get it and have no symptoms, and never get tested

2. A lot of people get it and have similar symptoms to the flu and never get tested

Good info here... worth watching.


Excellent video. Very informative. I did have to do a double-take cause I thought you'd be the last person to ever post it.

But glad you finally came around and realized how serious this is. Maybe you can help us convince the rest of your friends.

Agree on both points.

Additionally, there are who knows how many backlogged tests, with results not coming for ~ 10 days.

No, it is fear mongering idiots like you who believe all the bullshit that the government & media tell you. I bet you get you rocks off seeing everything getting shut down.

Let me guess, were you one of the people who believed the lie about the air in Lower Manhattan being fine after 9/11? How did that government & media hoax play out in the end?......

Not even close. Why the fuck would I enjoy seeing everything being shut down, you stupid fuck? Just think about that for a fucking minute, you weirdo.

Gents, at this point, I hope to god I'm right on this and you should hope so too not so I can come back in and say "I told you so." That's not going to happen.

I hope I'm right so 100,000 people don't die.

We should all be hoping I'm right here.

The only difference that really mattered when this hit the mainstream a month ago is this....

1 has potential to greatly destabilize societies all around the world in the short term, the other doesn't do anything like that.
