EverApostate - don't you think that threads should be allowed that assume the authority of the bible as a premise for further conversation?

Jwundubbed - you could hardly be more wrong.
These viruses are endemic in animal species. They only get to make the jump to humans because of shameful way Chinese people behave with their wet markets. It is cruel, dirty and medieval.
The problem was made 1000x worse by the Chinese Communist Party who lied for weeks and persecuted doctors who were trying to alert the world.
It is totally the fault of China and you are what Lennin used to call a ' useful idiot' - although well meaning and naive no doubt.
This pandemic has a fatality rate of less than 1% Just wait until we get a bird flu from China with a rate closer to 60%.
Action against the CCP MUST follow. It is an existential threat to all mankind.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Highly recommend Sam Harris' podcast 'Making Sense' with Amesh Adalja released on 11 March.
Lots of good information. Take away thoughts include, death rate will be 0.6% at most (based on data from South Korea that had a massive testing program). Many people will have no more than a bad cold or flu and make full recovery with no long term lung damage.
A small percentage of younger healthy people will develop secondary lung infections and require hospital care.
Some hope of effective antivirus within months but vaccine probably a year away.
Reasonable social distancing makes sense to flatten the curve and relieve pressure on health provisions.
Very interesting conversation with an expert who has a common sense approach.
On the down side he genuinely fears an actual viral apocalypse such as an airborne bird flu with a mortality rate nearer 60% which is a real future possibility.

Here is some perspective on the list of so-called scientists who dissent from Darwinism. By the way many of the signatories were deceived and have asked to have their names removed.
Here is a list of scientists called Steve who assent to the following statement. - "Evolution is a vital, well-supported, unifying principle of the biological sciences, and the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of the idea that all living things share a common ancestry. Although there are legitimate debates about the patterns and processes of evolution, there is no serious scientific doubt that evolution occurred or that natural selection is a major mechanism in its occurrence. It is scientifically inappropriate and pedagogically irresponsible for creationist pseudoscience, including but not limited to 'intelligent design,' to be introduced into the science curricula of our nation's public schools."
