Probably not super fit, though, after all he'd been through. Still: good point. This thing might not be as innocent as it's claimed to be.

Doctors are usually pretty good at looking after themselves.

Unless its a super-conspiracy and he has been silenced

I think it was some kind of chaotic chain reaction set off by the prank-guy-on-the-plane featured in the videos posted above. You know, like a butterfly effect kind of thing. It should only add to his guilt and remorse.

If fit people would end up dead, the statistics would have shown vastly different numbers by now. 

The virus seems to be spreading pretty quick though. Have seen some Chinese people here in Holland with those face masks travelling from Schiphol Airport. I was like: damn, that's not good! And then the racism police pushed me against the wall. ;)

Uhhhh, they use it all the time and anywhere, seems like they're pretty germophobes in general...

i bet i could get out of work for a while if i caught coronavirus

I think I had it this week, but I feel a lot better now and I got two days off work.

whoa.. just the "quarantine squad" in hazmat suits pick up a person from their apartment and drag them down to the road and put them in a big box in the back of a pick up truck. 

Contagion is in the top 20 movies on iTunes.  Americans don't seem to be able to deal with a crisis without watching the movie version first.

It sounds like there's another mystery epidemic in Nigeria:

The plague had a 50 to 100 percent mortality rate. 

Plus side is after the great plague there were less people and workers could request more money for their labour. It totally changed the world for the better. For a time

is that another way of phrasing 'not an authoritarian dictatorship apologist'? or 'not a fan of forced labour and re-education camps'? or 'not a supporter of genocide'?
