Chinese Wuhan Virus

[Secular Sanity]

Look at the date on the post and try rubbing a few brain cells together. Quit making dumbass assumptions just to fuel your need to be a snarky twit.

My little brains cells read your statement on the 9th and then looked at what the World Health Organization posted on the 9th. They(my cells) assumed that you were stunting as usual. I didn’t bother to correct you because we all know what that entails.

It is not certain how long the virus that cause COVID-19 survives on surfaces, but it seems to behave like other coronaviruses. Studies suggest that coronaviruses (including the preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days.

Dolt, snarky twit...what's next?

I simply asked you to keep it real. Had you posted a link, there would be no reason for me to think that you were just speculating.

If covid is primarily fatal to older folks, could pathogens be genetically modified to target specific segments of society (Dare I say races)? If not now, do you think that militarily, covid's behaviour is worth looking at for a potential biological weapon down the road ?

Yeah, and the WHO was against any travel bans at all and peddling Chinese propaganda at the time. Not a very reliable source for any discerning adult, without some corroboration from the likes of the CDC.

Yeah, that "up to several days" was, as I said, in sufficiently moist conditions. That was the latest consensus backed by many officials at the time. And no, neither would apply to a shipped package. You know, the context of my answer. So yes, quit being a snarky dolt. You could have either asked at the time, or simply looked up more sources than the first one that affirmed your own assumptions.

Quit trying to cover for your own blind bias against me and lack of research by being an insufferable twit.

WHO accused of 'carrying China's water' after official refuses to acknowledge Taiwan during bizarre interview

A Canadian doctor working for the WHO refused to acknowledge Taiwan as anything but a part of China, which is China's own propaganda.

The CDC acknowledged that transmission through contaminated objects and surfaces may be possible even before the new study was uploaded to MedRxiv on March 9th.

"The novel coronavirus may remain viable for hours to days on surface made from a variety of materials."

Where did you get the information from because it wasn’t from the CDC?

And yeah, it was highly unlikely to get it from china but the virus was already here in the states. 

You answered the question like it was common knowledge. Lot's of viruses can live outside the host. I'm just asking you to be more careful, that's all.

Again, context of the specific question asked. I wasn't giving general information, and you'd have known that if you only took it in its context, or simply asked to clear up your own faulty assumptions. And no, most of the country didn't know the full extent to which it was already in the US.

Get off the high horse of your own bad assumptions.

It was an overall statement about the virus, not the package, but whatever, Syne.

If covid is primarily fatal to older folks, could pathogens be genetically modified to target specific segments of society (Dare I say races)? If not now, do you think that militarily, covid's behaviour is worth looking at for a potential biological weapon down the road ?

No modifcation necessary. I don’t know how reliable the articles are but apparently that’s already being discussed.

So, you completely missed the context. No apology for your snide assumptions, just "whatever". Mature.

Christ Almighty,,,,there's a lot of sick mother**kers out there. Trouble for the white supremacists would be having the virus passed to them via their paramours if you know what I mean.

Yes, much COVID-19 research will turn out to be wrong or unreliable
