Wow, how did I miss this gem. This is literally one of the dumbest takes I have ever seen on these forums. Nowadays is indisputably the safest period of time to live. A kid living in rural Idlib has it better off today than the average kid on this planet a hundred years ago. Honestly so dumb, 2/3 of kids used to die before the age of 7, and the mortality rate of mothers was ridiculous. The fact you emphasize for "white" people as well is even more hilarious, the greatest gains in safety across the globe haven't been in majority white countries, and even somewhere like the state's it's a lot safer to be black nowadays than it was 50 years ago. Actually hilarious. Also, people in Alaska will benefit massively from global warming with greater access to mineral & fossil fuels, along with the northern passage being accessible due to melting ice. School shootings have happened for the past hundred years, mass shootings have happened for the past hundred years. The worst shooting in the US for 50+ years was a school shooting in the 30's. Please read some books. You were quite quick to call me out. My argument was plain and simply, "safety is relative". Clearly went over your head. Nonetheless, I appreciate your opinion. i doubt 9 hours is 'quite quick'

These fuckers are hiding the true statistics! https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/etbwl6/chinas_coronavirus_count_artificially_made_low_by/ This is where clearly their government has failed the people. Hiding these only makes it worse for china not better. luckily by association other countries dont have a choice other than to help china. kinda fucked themselves over a bit

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, yes, it's a very serious outbreak, but I also have faith that the virus will get shot down pretty quickly.

So what kind of masks are best to use? Would getting those normal surgical face masks that medical practitioners wear?

Ideally, ones that have a tight fit with no holes on the side with enough oxygen getting to your nose and mouth. You need to replace these everyday at the least too. Surgeons get them fitted personally but obviously people wont be able to do that so just use these parameters.

Things are getting scary here in China, I recently flew back to China and every single person on that flight was wearing surgical / N95 masks, it was an impressive scenery. I was in Dubai a bit ago and every single pharmacy I visited had all their masks bought out by Chinese people, things are even crazier in China, most pharmacies here are selling one single piece of surgical mask for 5 dollars (single time use, suppose to be switched once every 4 hours) making some families unable to afford to wear masks. My neighborhood community thingy in China actually set up temperature checks when entering it. Anyways this whole thing is kinda scary but I'm already lucky enough to not be in the Hubei province Also, the disease can be spread while in incubation period, stay safe Current official statistics (given by the Chinese government) as of 2019/1/28: China (Including Hongkong, Macau, and Taiwan) Confirmed diagnoses: 4633 (HK: 8, Macau: 7, Taiwan: 8) Deaths: 106 Cured: 73 Suspected: 6972 Other countries in total: 57 Thailand: 14 Japan: 7 Singapore: 7 U.S: 5 Australia: 5 South Korea: 4 Malaysia: 4 France: 3 Vietnam: 2 Canada: 2 Nepal: 1 Cambodia: 1 Germany: 1 Sri Lanka: 1 Here's a translation of the statistics of the virus if you'd like to see for yourself or to check it daily, The web-page is voice.baidu.com/act/newpneumonia/newpneumonia , statistics gathered by Baidu (Chinese google basically lmao). After you're in the page, scroll down to see international statistics. It'll be after the statistics of Chinese provinces. (You can always google translate the provinces or countries)
