There must be a guaranteed group of uninformed people in all places and times, and to that can be added the early reports that either this didn’t affect the young or they would merely become asymptomatic carriers.

I believe that when “the Spanish Disease” first broke out during the siege of Naples it was deadly for many of the infected . IIRC the high mortality rate persisted for some time but gradually declined . I have been around the world and the clap was the most common venereal disease . Africa had the most frightening venereal diseases , shit you never heard of before . The only time I ever encountered Syphilis was in Baltimore , it was not uncommon to get a Negro pt. with tertiary Syphilis . Many of them were elderly women .

Man, that picture brings back memories. Not of St. Patrick’s Days, On only one occasion was I ever in a bar on St. Patrick’s. I went to some Irish bar with friends. The picture reminds of starting to drink on Clark Street downtown and working our way up to Rogers Park.Now, I have not had a drink or drug for 30 years. But back in the day I could tear it up with the best of them. I have always enjoyed taverns, not cocktail lounges but good old-fashioned neighborhood bars. Shot and a beer kind of places. I was partial to the American Indian bars in Uptown. Talk about entertainment, fist fights, stabbings, all kinds of mayhem could appear in an instant.
Recently I watched a Great Courses series on The Black Death in the late 1340s. Seeing that picture reminded me of the instructor describing how some people reacted to the death and chaos. They drank and fornicated themselves silly since “tomorrow you may die.” If the Wuhan flu gets worse expect to see more of this behavior as well as crime breaking out in poorer neighborhoods (more than usual, I mean). And also be on the lookout for bizarre fringe religious groups popping up. Remember the flagellants in The Seventh Seal?

Given her ambitions, psychopathology, high level connections, and business model of mass blood testing at places like Walgreens and Safeway, we’d probably all be relying on her faulty tests for determining who to quarantine.

Depending on people to “do the right thing” is an exercise in futility; average people are stupid and selfish and by the time they “get the message” it will be too late. If we’re treating this like a potential Italy-type situation we need to implement the Italian solution: close the bars and restaurants. Only groceries, pharmacies and other essential businesses stay open. If people want to get drunk they can do it at home.

In the long run it may help to have huge die-offs in a few large cities with large Irish populations. That will finally bring some sense to the matter. It may be the Wuhan virus’s Philadelphia/St. Louis moment.
By the way, I have come to believe that using Wuhan virus is what we should be doing, and it’s not a casual racist troll. Coronavirus is not long for this world, as a clear term, since we are now on our third or fourth new coronavirus, and after a couple more things will get confusing. The boffins have come with three, count ’em, names, none of which is memorable or rolls off the tongue: COVID-19, HCoV-19, and now SARS-CoV-2. The last two names are apparently algorithmic, in that they are generated based on analysis of characteristics of the virus combined with a date or serial number, so this may not be the end as research continues. Wuhan virus is the only one that’s not confusing.
I suppose they could go hurricane and name new horrible diseases after white, male, northern European given names. Just have a list of them cued up to choose from when a new disease comes out.

Known about this from the chans for the past week, it’s been around twitter and in some periodicals. In that week has one shred of evidence emerged clearly tying it to Fort Detrick or is this like the British government claiming that only Vladimir Putin can do chemistry? All claims out of Beijing, those which appear vindicated by Korean data and those like this one which are classic Commie logic and not worth considering, are unimportant next to Turkey rewarding billions of dollars and years of NATO membership with an invasion which somehow isn’t a war, yet.
” people ingreen regalia waiting to get drunk and spread a virus.”
They look young and immuno-normal and without any medical preconditions. So they probably won’t contract the virus, if they do the virus probably won’t be able to overrun their immune system, and if the virus does overwhelm their immune system they will likely have a mild case. Since the old in the US don’t seem to feel they owe the young anything, I don’t see why the young should inconvenience themselves for the old?
What do I owe younger people today? I pay my taxes, give voluntarily to support medical research and higher education, set aside funds for my grandkids, obey the law, and serve on the board of my HOA, where few residents are boomers.

Swine flu started in asia somewhere, so should be called asian pig pox.
Stupid people who insist on being out and about are putting vulnerable people in danger. In King County, WA, the disease has been found to progress at a stunningly fast rate in some patients. At the Life Care Center in Kirkland where the outbreak originated, a resident went from being totally fine, to having flu like symptoms to being on her death bed within one hour. A 60 year old woman who was a legal assistant for the Bellevue law firm Davis, Wright and Tremaine left work early with flu like symptoms on Tuesday, worked remotely from her home Wednesday and was found dead in her home on Thursday morning.
But I did have to go out today. I am asymptomatic, but that don't mean much. But in my travels I did have to exit the Kennedy at Addison. There was no backup and this did not happen in previous St Patrick's Days, due to a huge suburban groundswell of drunks. I thought that (literally) more sober heads prevailed. Oh well.

it’s a reasonable concern, but one the FDA is aware of.

List of participating nations: 9,308 athletes from 110 countries participated in the games, 172 from the United States. [Wiki]
Announced in November of 2017:
“China will host the 7th Military World Games – the Olympics for military personnel – in Wuhan, Hubei province, from Oct 18 to 27, 2019, the Defense Ministry said on Friday.”
“More than 8,000 military athletes from more than 100 countries will participate in 27 major sporting events, said ministry spokesman Senior Colonel Wu Qian.”

“The Irish should not strive officiously to stay alive,” was the expression of English disdain to Irish endurance in the midst of the Great Famines of the 19th century.
The original line was from the writings of Arthur Hugh Clough. WKPD: ‘The Latest Decalogue’s couplet on murder, “Thou shalt not kill; but needst not strive officiously to keep alive”‘
Grape juice sugar and yeast
Yeah, and the could call the Spanish Flu the American virus. Because WKPD: “There have been statements that the epidemic originated in the United States. Historian Alfred W. Crosby stated that the flu originated in Kansas, and popular author John Barry described Haskell County, Kansas, as the point of origin. It has also been stated that, by late 1917, there had already been a first wave of the epidemic in at least 14 US military camps.”
There are plenty of other theories if you’d like one. The one truth universally agreed is that it didn’t come from Spain. I wonder how long it’ll be before the Wuhan flu is found to have started somewhere else.

Let’s concentrate on the post and the advice it is giving me before deciding if the Irish ‘fook it’ mode is less ill advised that the rationalism of lockdown and mass self isolation. First
In December, the Chinese announced there was a “pneumonia of unknown cause”. The Chinese said on 7 Jan that they had identified it as a coronavirus, and it was not spreading between humans. Now, as Paul Ewald has expressed extreme concern about, they have imposed a news blackout on what Coronavirus is doing in Xinjiang,
Is it a good idea to have people not exposed to coronavirus now? The virus in Italy (7% mortality) seems rather different than what it is in Germany (0.3% mortality). Could exposure to mild coronavirus protect against a possibly forthcoming virulent version that the Italian death rate is a harbinger of? That is what I am wondering out loud.
Like Savoir Faire, Steve Sailer is Everywhere…
‘Just drove through Wrigleyville. Every bar on Clark Street has a long line of people ingreen regalia waiting to get drunk and spread a virus.’
Good. Everyone finally gets exposed — which they will anyway — and then this is over.
No one believes this anyway. The media likes to whip up a good story, and politicians have to virtue signal — but it’s a lot of crap.
It’s just a pity we have to shit-can the world’s economy while we play ‘let’s pretend.’

The 7th Military World Games was the first international military multi-sport event to be held in China and also it was the largest military sports event ever to be held in China, with nearly 10,000 athletes from over 100 countries competing in 27 sports.
List of participating nations: 9,308 athletes from 110 countries participated in the games, 172 from the United States. [Wiki]
Announced in November of 2017:
"China will host the 7th Military World Games - the Olympics for military personnel - in Wuhan, Hubei province, from Oct 18 to 27, 2019, the Defense Ministry said on Friday."
"More than 8,000 military athletes from more than 100 countries will participate in 27 major sporting events, said ministry spokesman Senior Colonel Wu Qian."

While it is possible (even likely) that there is more than one strain of this virus and that different strains have different mortality associated with them, it is highly unlikely that the true mortality is EITHER 7% or .3%. Probably (especially the 7%) these are data artifacts resulting from lack of testing in the base population (you count only people who are already gravely ill as having coronavirus) , being at different stages of the epidemic, etc. When this all shakes out, it’s highly unlikely that the mortality rate in Italy will be 21x higher than it is in Germany.

The world of 2020 is very different from the world of 1918. The amount of data that is collected today is orders of magnitude greater than the level of data collection in 1918. All data points to this disease starting in Wuhan.
I think the answer to your question is never because it in fact started in Wuhan, most likely in a “wet market”. The Chinese taste for bat soup (combined with their dictatorial government that doesn’t want to hear “bad news”) is going to tank the world economy. The only silver lining would be if this disease takes Xi’s dictatorship down with it.

I can’t believe Benjamin Kerr did that analysis without explicitly taking the per capita effects into account. Especially since his match analogy picture makes the issue obvious. In his simulations how many high and low risk individuals were there?
His advice reeks of “others need to sacrifice.” Which is an incredibly annoying feature of political discourse today.
When it comes to requesting/requiring people make sacrifices for the greater good here are some things I think are relevant.
– Who has incentive to make the sacrifice? Obviously high risk individuals have the most to gain personally from isolating themselves.
– Who gives the greatest group benefit for a given personal sacrifice? Again, I think that is high risk individuals. (this would be the per capita version of Kerr’s analysis)
– Who benefits most from the sacrifices of others? Again, that would be high risk individuals.
I think the drunken celebrations are ill advised, but is that the most serious issue to address? I am more concerned with the ski trips I am hearing about. Being out on the slopes might very well be fine, but the apres-ski scene sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Search on unfunded pension liabilities. The k-12 system was funded with either with actual bonds or by promising benefits that were not reserved for. So in short, the youth is now paying for their k-12 education and probably their parents k-12 education and possibly their grand parents k-12 education.

Italy has recorded 368 new coronavirus deaths in 24 hours making a total of 1,809 people
The Chinese reported 8% mortality in those over those infected who were 70-79 years old and the median age of Italy’s coronavirus victims is 82 years old.
In Germany there have been 11 deaths in TOTAL despite over 5000 confirmed cases. This isn’t being reported but the population of Germany is older than that of Italy.
There is potential for a far more virulent strain of coronavirus to appear, and the millions Uighurs that the Chinese state have in concentration camps in Xinjiang make it far from unlikely that that is going to happen in the opinion of Professor Ewald.
So bearing in mind that being infected and recovering may confer some protection against later wave infection that might be coming, is it a good idea for everyone to avoid infection now?

It’s the one day of the year I want to drive all these spud-munching Paddy bog-trotters back into the ocean. I’m only Irish the other 364 days on the calendar.

It was a tortured soul, whatever it was.
I gather. Boomers may collectively have been defeatists. Post boomers active fifth columnists and now the new overlords. Enjoy.

wapo has this graphic, saying that Philadelphia was not hit the second time and this is a pretty good illustration of “flattening the curve.”

Ha ha! Thanks!
If that comes to pass, I will start a vineyard to make 120 proof wine for the urban market.
Not chemically possible I’m afraid without distillation. %20 is about the highest alcohol content you can get w/o distillation.
Welcome to the end of the punchline. Sheesh!

Most boomers were children in the 1960s so it’s patently ridiculous to blame them for the legislation enacted then. But if it makes you feel better I guess it’s okay.
Remember when Clinton apologised for the Tuskegee Experiment? There was a survivor on stage with him 98 years old looked pretty fit, though he didn't speak. All the survivors were the ones who weren't treated, the ones who were were long dead. For mine that raises the question of whether the pre Penicillin treatments were worse than the disease.Replies: @Jack Armstrong
Used to treat with mercury – it did kill the bug but there were complications.
That’s not true. This rumor was there right from the start. What’s new is that the Chinese government is now apparently officially endorsing what was previously just street gossip.
I don’t ‘hate’ boomers but it is bizarre to see people who turned teen rebellion into a lifelong vocation now demanding filial piety from their own children.
Alas, in keeping with the End Times flavor of recent occurrances:

1) what is the source of the claim regarding the "200 or so US military personnel"?
2) ....can somebody post some UNZ LINKS AS IN the other non Steve bloggers on this site....
3) if there are ANY NON UNZ LINKS making similar claims can somebody post those?

Similarly, in Canada:

A researcher with ties to China was recently escorted out of the National Microbiology Lab (NML) in Winnipeg amid an RCMP investigation into what’s being described as a possible “policy breach.” Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, her husband Keding Cheng and an unknown number of her students from China were removed from Canada’s only level-4 lab on July 5, CBC News has learned.
A Level 4 virology facility is a lab equipped to work with the most serious and deadly human and animal diseases. That makes the Arlington Street lab one of only a handful in North America capable of handling pathogens requiring the highest level of containment, such as Ebola.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/national-microbiology-lab-scientist-investigation-china-1.5307424
A Canadian government scientist at the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg made at least five trips to China in 2017-18, including one to train scientists and technicians at China’s newly certified Level 4 lab, which does research with the most deadly pathogens, according to travel documents obtained by CBC News.
Xiangguo Qiu — who was escorted out of the Winnipeg lab in July amid an RCMP investigation into what’s being described by Public Health Agency of Canada as a possible “policy breach” — was invited to go to the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences twice a year for two years, for up to two weeks each time.
Well, you were right and the LOL is on me!
