I do know this, despite what the Chinese government might be saying, I have never seen anything like this during my lifetime. There were never "quarantine camps" or travel bans, government workers wearing what look like space suits, burning bodies.... leads me to believe that perhaps they are not being altogether forthcoming with the truthful prognosis. Maybe that's for the best, to avoid panic and so forth. There's always people that will over-react and cause others to over-react.
I wonder where this virus came from? Is this a form of population control? Who knows? I hope not but who really knows the truth of what's going on. The truth has a way of hiding.
