    3 more cases in Italy in the last hour

    Have been following this here and on R:// for the last few weeks.

    I find it most unusual that the media doesnt seem to report whats happening at the same rate things appear to be happening. But I also found this very interesting post on redit which is quite possibly fake news but also made me want to share it here.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID__19/comments/f2jwew/if_you_were_ever_banned_or_had_a_post_removed/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

    r/COVID__19
    u/jackthoma59d

    If you were ever banned or had a post removed from r/Coronavirus or r/China_Flu or have noticed the censorship then please read this...
    Conspiracy
    I found something interesting on u/CLO_Junkie the guy who created all the main coronavirus communities and is the main moderator.

    So if you go to his post history and look at when his account was created it was November 7th, right around the time China probably knew they ****ed up about the virus and mainstream news about it was imminent. His profile suggests he deals with money so of course his first post on November 7th is in r/wallstreetbets. But after that zero posts and comments for months. Sounds like a typical cover to disguise who he really is. I mean not even one post or comment after that? Come on.

    Then once official news broke of the virus on January 20th he rushed and immediately created multiple communities such as r/China_Flu and r/coronavirus as if he already had this all planned. As people joined and posted he suppressed information heavily as you can tell because all of his comments are telling people why a post is being removed. Pretty much anything showing negative things about China is removed.

    My guess is that he is working for the CCP, probably works for them full time and they had this plan all along. His goal was to come into reddit disguised as a normal user and then to create communities that everyone would join that the CCP could control. He must not have a day job because he moderates 24/7.

    If they control those communities, then they control the information that most of the reddit users talking about the virus have.

    When I posted in r/coronavirus complaining about the heavy censorship on the thread and asking others to join my community the post was removed and I was permanently banned without reason.

    He also immediately rushed and made r/COVID19 today almost instantly once the WHO released the name.

    What do you think?

    UPDATE: This may be worse than I thought. His account was created ONE DAY after Event 201

    UPDATE 2: After searching r/wuhan_flu for “clo” I came across this thread It’s worse than I thought. It may be a group of globalists who decided to play event 201 in real life, the account was created one day after event 201 took place. Could this group be comprised of rich people with an agenda? Could they have leaked the virus from the Wuhan Level 4 bio lab by knowing someone inside who is part of their agenda? This is ****ing crazy.

    UPDATE 3: One of the mods who is heavy on censorship (likely from China/CCP) is a virologist. Maybe he worked in the Wuhan Level 4 Bio Lab...see this

    UPDATE 4: Another thread about CLO_Junkie and his friends trying to nuke a discord putting out negative info on China that they couldn’t control!

    UPDATE 5: Today February 12th, CLO_Junkie had an AMA on his subreddit and everyone was pressuring him with questions that I brought about in my post here. Spread the truth!

    Also, r/Wuhan_Flu is a now quarantined subreddit. It was the only popular subreddit about the virus that CLO and his peers could not control. They had that subreddit quarantined because they could not control it. If the link in UPDATE 2 for the thread is not working please search for r/Wuhan_Flu and join it, then try the link in UPDATE 2 and it should work.

    When did it jump from 35 to 89, do you have link to that report that's a significant 54 increase.

    Pretty sure that's a mistake... still 35

    Wouldn't be surprised to see them cancelling football matches this weekend in the country to avoid mass gathering of people. They need to get a handle on this quickly.

    How does it skip big cities and take root in a cluster of small Italian towns... mystifying pattern.
    Ditto for the cases in Iran.

    Very strange virus or else the test is wonky.

    Quite possibly the folks who have it in big cities haven't become ill enough to present themselves to hospitals.

    Because people are being tested only in the specific towns. Mass tests only take place where there is an official new case
    Nobody is testing anyone in Rome or Milan as there are no new cases at the moment there

    They're just taking people's word they're clear? That should be the story
    Anyway they haven't tested positive - yet...

    Presumably for two weeks. Which came out of the blue. I hope these folks have been "stockpiling" enough supplies for two weeks of self quarantine.

    One week per the article. Incubation for most people seems to be 3 to 5 days, so that makes sense.

    Cases in Italy are jumping up now, but that's to be expected as they test close contacts of known carriers. A lot of countries are going to have similar outbreaks which need to be tackled.

    Given the cfr in new countries over the last few days, I'm wondering if this thing could be pretty bad.

    they can still go to the shops and buy food, even in Wuhan people could still go food shopping and food was plenty in the shelves

    Why do people think that two weeks would require a vast stockpile of supplies?
    A healthy person wouldn't even die from 2 weeks with no food.
    (not that the Italian services would let that happen.)
    Anyone who contracts the virus will be moved to hospital.

    There is likely many milder cases undetected but it does appear to be a dangerous disease going by the outcome of patients on the cruise liner and how many more deaths that have occurred in wuhan than you'd expect from seasonal flu in that timeframe

    In fairness has a quarantine lasted the time it was initially announced? They keep getting revised each week 'quarantine is extended another week' etc.

    Anyway for now they can go to the shop it's not a full lockdown.

    I think the one in the Wirral lasted about as long as expected.
    I can't see the Italian services letting people go without food and medical supplies, so I just wonder what these people should be stockpiling?

    The number of ethnic Chinese in Ireland is estimated at 60,000. The group is potentially the largest (and if not the second largest) Minority Ethnic Community in the Irish State.

    I can't believe it's not here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,007 ✭✭✭s7ryf3925pivug


    It's not going to be contained then. It's going to permanently establish itself as a seasonal disease. A counterpart of flu that is more infectious and kills a decent portion of people who are infected.

    As an island with a food surplus we technically could avoid exposure. But realistically we're not going to close our borders to infected countries. I'm not even sure we legally can close our borders to EU countries.

    Approximately one in every 17,000 Chinese residents are confirmed infected

    Bearing in mind there will be relatively few travelling from China to Ireland since this outbreak it's really not surprising at all

    If it takes hold in another European state then things would start to be different.
