My favorite Rambo movie is Rambo 3 when he helps the taliban.

This is more dangerous than the traditional flu simply because the basic reproductive rate or the r0 rate of the virus is much higher.

Traditional flu- 1.28
2009 pandemic- 1.48
Spanish flue-1.80
this one- not sure yet but some epidemiologists say it is in the range of 2.0-3.8

the incubation period is also a reason why the spread wont be stopped

Apparently the virus can spread to another person during the incubation period. This means one could be dealing with a person not showing any symptoms and be infected by that person. They ran computer simulations to predict total infections as of now and 45K is the number they came up with. Compared to the ~3K confirmed cased that's an insane number

Such a pathetic shitty bad faith, never said it only kill men. I was pointing a very important related to virus propagation, honestly when i see this OMG what a fucked answer, never try again.

Your point is as much fucked as your poll. Sack of shit topic.

This is such a fun year!

More will probably die from the flu especially in the us. Coronavirus seems to have a higher mortality rate if acquired though

Wouldn't put it past the chinese to quarantine the infected in the existing Muslim death camps, trying to kill two birds with one stone.

"Weaponize a flu-like virus to genocide the pesky native inhabitants of the area you want to settle" - straight out of the American playbook

yes that did work quite well in the americas. just in case you're not aware most historians agree that almost all of the sickness passed on from Europeans to native in America was incidental. for years stories of smallpox infected blankets being traded to the natives were passed around. but that seems out of place with what they even understood about germs at the time, and there's very little historical backing.

we've grown so accustomed to thinking of settler vs indian interactions as deeply violent and contentious, when in reality most of the early interactions were trading expeditions. and the sickness the white man brought the natives, while incidental, was a big part in what formed such a contentious relationship. that and the white mans unquenchable thirst for more land.

most of the worst one sided atrocities came in the last stage of this conflict. broken treaties, followed by the trail of tears, followed by the poorly planned reservations (or in reality maliciously planned), followed by "re-culturing schools". this completed the genocidal cycle, their wills broken they were subjected to the worst punishment they could have been. an oral history culture had its chain of history broken forever with no chance to recover. we still cant even be sure of the tribes, languages, religions, and history that was lost.
