IWA Show in Germany Cancelled due to Coronavirus

What about me???

Maybe it will completely wipe out China's manufacturing ability and we can finally get back to manufacturing quality products in our own countries instead of sourcing cheap garbage from China made with inferior materials, lower quality, lead paint, plastic rice, child labour and communism.

I'm thinking this could be a blessing to the rest of the world's economy, perhaps not interim but in the long haul. Sick of China killing our economy then using the profits to buy up BC and inflate our housing markets. We are only harming ourselves by supporting their twisted economy.

Actually I agree countries need to go back to producing and manufacturing again and not rely on China

I don't know, can animals catch it and die?

Gun shows could be taking a big hit this year.

Cosmoprof is the largest beauty industry tradeshow in Europe has been cancelled as well. It is held in Bologna, Italy. So I can't say it's just the flu if that level cancellation is happening. Glad we have lots of tp.

 

[binchow]

Yes. Sadly. There has been report of a dog that have it now.

We have no idea how many have died in China, you think theyre being honest with the numbers?
Spanish flu killed 40-60 million theres a clue in the name "Spanish Flu"

...and here we are 102 years later talking about it. But, you know... this time we’re all going to die because it’s a super-duper engineered bio-weapon activated by 5G radio waves that Bill Gates designed to reduce the population.

Saying it came from an animal isn’t Hollywood enough...

What’s the clue?

 

[Rek1]

How many millions of people get the flu each year? You can't really compare the two.. Makes no sense

 

[All in fun]

This is getting stupid. People are panicking over a flu with a mortality rate of 1%, and shutting down the economy.

Yeah...I think the precautions being taken make sense, since the problem is likely time limited. As far as the stock market and that stuff, like it always has, it will bounce back shortly. But I'm hoping it will make governments...even those as stupid as ours...reconsider having China be that integral to the supply chain. So there may be a silver lining.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University (JHU), Maryland, US, have created an online dashboard to track the spread of the virus across the globe. You can bookmark this map to see live coronavirus updates.

Can you fill us in on your superior understanding of the situation?

The world is apparently supposed to end in 2030 anyways.

The world is apparently supposed to end in 2030 anyways.

It's as good a guess as any, I suppose.

If everyone on the planet guessed a different year the world would end, we would have the next 7 billion years or so covered.

 

[SigWig]

^2030 is that when AI wipes out the human race?


My wife had no fear of Covid-19 until I told her dogs can catch it.

You can never be to safe: remember that 38% of Americans would never drink a Corona beer, that's ridiculous!
Coronavirus might be a huge deal since it seems to be as contagious a H1N1 and 4 times more lethal.
(Basically, 2 billion people caught H1N1 an 0.5% died, for coronavirus the death rate 2-3%).

Only time will tell, but the situation seems to be getting out of hand right now in South Korea and Italy
while China is in lockdown mode which is probably for a good reason.

Your statistic on corona lacks the data required to estimate a fatality rate.

I question the valididy of the corona beer statistic.

The reaction to this Virus will have a bigger impact, and it will be longer lasting than the Virus.

Prepping now is more about being ready for the Human reaction, i.e. : Panic buying, Factory shutdowns, etc, than fear of catching the Virus.

That said, I'd rather not catch it.
