I find this subreddit more scientific based than even many epidemiologists I follow: https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/

There are US based researches on it already, and the evidence so far is it's not engineered. Your observations don't include all relevant facts, hence the conclusion can still be wrong. Like scientists in 18th century had all kind

There's already scientific research on whether it is engineered or not and the evidence so far is a strong no. http://virological.org/t/the-proximal-origin-of-sars-cov-2/3...

As other people said, most viral diseases have a asymptomatic period. What's unique about Coronavirus is that the patient can be infectious during the asymptomatic period. This makes coronavirus so hard to be controlled.

Coronavirus is possible to transmit via aerosol but not airborne. They differ in the transmission distance, among other things. Virus are infectious only when you receive a certain amount (Viral load). It is possible the virus loaded aeroso

I don't think CCP can cover 50k death with ease. Unlike many western people assumed, CCP is not omnipotent in China. There are checks and balances of power. Not distributed democratically, but still distributed in some opaque ways. 50k

It's interesting that in your other comment you referenced another paper for a higher IFR although in this reference the model suggested 0.07%. So what do you believe? A higher total infection with a much lower IFR, or a higher IFR? Or

just wanna add to the discussion that there is a peer reviewed paper published today suggesting asymptomatic transmission is very likely. https://academic.oup.com/jid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/inf...

A recent paper suggested that there is strong evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is not the product of genetic engineering. source: http://virological.org/t/the-proximal-origin-of-sars-cov-2/3...

For 2, China has been reporting clinically diagnosed for a few days now. (as mentioned in another comment above, source: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situati... ).

I wonder if we shall take exposure density into consideration? If RF is emitted in all directions, the closer the phone to the body, the same amount of RF will be received by a smaller area of skin?

Informing is good, but that's far away from uniting/allying them.

Communicating/Interacting with ppl who have different opinions is hard enough. But what I meant by allying is even harder than that. It's to help them get the freedom they wanted first. It will be a long process but I think that&#

Chinese are sooo brain washed. Trump supporters are sooo brain washed. Seems there’s a tendency that for people we don’t really understand their motives, can’t take their perspectives we just assume they are brain washed. Like with that ass

If possible could you please provide some sources? Or it’s just heard in person? I’ve been living outside of China for years and read many pro independent sources especially during the protests but haven’t seen any on uniting with mainlande

Off the topic, but I feel somehow because HKer only wanted to keep the bad things out of HK, that made the mainland Chinese less sympathetic toward them. To fight against the bad things HKer have to ally with mainland citizens to fight toge

Reading many Chinese sources made me doubt your assessment. Regular mainland Chinese are not happy. But not to the point that they are thinking alternative governance. Rather some of the anger are rooted with the expectation that the Party

I doubt many scientists don't know this. However the current situation is largely if not all motivated by how funding is provided. Instead of a culture issue, I'd say it's a money issue.

And only by then you'll realize how many people don't really care and the ones wearing the hoodie will be singled out with special attention from state.

Please cite the source of shutting down the internet. As a Chinese, as far as I read only physical movement are prohibited. Many people stay at home play online games now.

The problem is not many patients who have contracted the virus have released from hospital yet. Any there are many serious cases. From many Chinese sources such as [1], Chinese gov's data shows there are 4515 confirmed cases, 106 death

Inequality can be the root cause, but it is a hard problem to solve. Let alone powerful people who control the media would never want it to be solved. The result is people are not ready to face it directly. Instead they pick an easier solut
