Wuhan Virus Does Not Appear to Be as Deadly as SARS, Singapore PM Says

SINGAPORE (Reuters Jan. 23, 2020) - Singapore's prime minister said on Friday that the city-state was well prepared to tackle the Wuhan flu virus, adding that it did not appear to be as deadly as the 2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) pandemic.

The Southeast Asian city-state, a global travel hub, on Thursday confirmed its first case of the coronavirus strain, which originated in China, and said another case has preliminarily tested positive.

Singapore suffered 33 deaths due to SARS, making it one of the worst hit countries outside China.

"We are well prepared, because we have been gearing up for such a situation ever since we dealt with SARS in 2003," Lee Hsien Loong said in an annual Chinese New Year speech.

"MOH (Ministry of Health) has now activated plans to counter the spread of the virus, which so far does not appear to be as deadly as SARS was."

The PM is abolutely right. SARS was far worse and more than 10% of those who caught it died.

On the other hand Covid-19 has killed less than 30 despite the fact that more than 55,000 have been infected. That works out to a 0.05% mortality rate.

In other words SARS was 200 times more lethal.

In terms of dollars & cents...Covid-19 is 200 times more deadly than SARS.

That's not because of Covid-19. The financial impact is caused by the government's overreaction to what is essentially a pretty harmless virus.

Don't remember we have as many infection cases for SARS as for Covid 19.

As of today, we have 20.2M infection cases reported ( possibly more ), 740K death ( close to 4%) and 12.5M recovered.
If we do nothing to contain the infection ( lockdown, social distancing, wearing mask) , the deaths could be in the millions.

Very unlikely because 80% of the population is already immune from prior coronavirus infections so we are left with 20% that are susceptible.

Mask wearing has not been proven to make any difference it is largely symbolic. That is why country's like Sweden and Netherlands that followed the science have not mandated mask wearing. Ref : https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2020/07/dutch-stand-firm-no-nationwide-requirement-to-wear-face-masks/

The purpose of lockdowns and social distancing won't make any difference to the overall death toll either. All these measures do is spread infections out over a longer period so that ERs are not overloaded. The end result will still be the same number of deaths overall from Covid-19.

Based on the Swedish data The infection mortality rate is about 0.2% overall and for those below 60 it is around 0,06% which puts it in the same ball park as influenza.

Counting eggs?

The imported eggs from Ukraine and Poland with come with the disclaimers that they should not be taken half-boiled because EU blocks eggs from these two countries in 2020 due to Bird Flu outbreak.

This CCS is a nut. Definitely, things will go back to normal once a vaccine (and possibly also a cure) is found. I anticipate the former to be available by October/November 2020, although in a rush manner and the fucking WHO will claim that it's not proven nor certified, just like what they had said about Russia's Covid-19 vaccine now.

Should the minister be returning to continue getting the obscene salary world?
