bojack,

I'm just asking a question    [based upon what a person has reputedly declared].


question = = a sentence worded or expressed so as to elicit information.



You are making a statement.

A statement based upon what knowledge ?


statement = = a definite or clear expression of something in speech or writing.     a formal account of facts or events, especially one given to the police or in court.

How about we flip it the other way, wheres the evidence he knows anything other than making a random statement?

Well he hasn't produced any evidence of anything, so therefore based on the available evidence, he doesn't know anything.

The thread title is, "What does Tom Cotton know, that we do not".

If you go to analyse what he's written, basically he's not bringing any new evidence to the table.

He's questioning the evidence presented by China, which everyone is, and sources like the WHO or the CDC are reporting what China is saying but accompanying that with corroborated research that has been done outside of China.

He's saying the evidence doesn't show that the outbreak originated from the Food Market at Wuhan, but offers no evidence of where it did come from.

So he is questioning the official story by China, which is wise and prudent until there is a review of their findings or parallel research (again peer-reviewed) that comes to the same conclusion, but he's offering no evidence that could lead to a competing hypothesis to the origin of the outbreak.

So, as Bojack said in answer to the question you posted as the thread title,


Prime Minister for Canyons wrote on Feb 19^th, 2020 at 10:27am:

Nothing. Question answered

I stand by my comment.  The sort of question you've asked is what conspiratards do which often leads them to the sort of conclusions like,

"Well, we don't know what the UFO is, therefore it must be aliens"

No.

There is no evidence to suggest that, and a lack of evidence can't prove that either.

But people will see the conspiracies online and posit that it's man-made and it escaped, or Trump covertly infected China to help with trade negotiations, etc etc.

All with Zero evidence to corroborate but it makes the reader/poster feel special because now they think they know that Tom Cotton does.  They are now better than those who don't know, they're special.  They keep digging and before you know it, they share it, it snowballs and then eventually people start drinking bleach in the form of MMS to "cure" COVID-19.

(Yes, this is happening, but no, it's not where all paths lead.  It is, however, what happens when QTards intersect with these COVID-19 conspiratards)

This is why it's important now, to stand up for the truth and rely on the facts and trusted sourced like the CDC and the WHO before the dullards and the gullible poison their children or let them die just like the other dangerous conspiracy theories.

What I do know is that the CCP is suppressing and punishing those posting alternative info. Even pressuring Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and other online media to censure material. How much control has China have over American media?

Also we know that 740 million Chinese are in lockdown and if this is a virus with a very long gestation period - we are all in peril. Yet the CCP refuses to allow CDC personal in to China and REAL info out.

The World needs to know what's going on in China - they have a duty to humanity.

Citation needed.

Most accepted sources are putting the number at 500 million and even then, that's not people "locked down", that's people subjected to restricted movement.

The only cities locked down are Wuhan, Huanggang, Ezhou and a few others in Hubei province.  Shanghai and Beijing have only put movement restrictions in place for some smaller communities such as building blocks or neighbourhoods.

Accurate information is important, especially when you're going on about us not knowing what is real coming out of China.  You flippantly spreading incorrect information with the justification of "well we know", nah mate.

Do a better job.

Within every supermarket i have entered recently, i have been able to locate a hygiene wipe dispenser.
It is always located close to one of the entrances.

Take one of these [wet] hygiene wipes, and wipe down the trolley handle [everywhere, that you will touch the handle.].

While I can't stand parents wet wiping down the slide at the park before their kid can use it, even before COVID-19, we should have been wiping down the trolley handles.

I've had to take 5 flights in the last few weeks, every time at the airport I've had to go to the toilet after/before the flight, I swear I'm like 1 of maybe 2 people who actually wash their hands after using the toilet, the rest just fix their hair in the mirror and walk out.

It's bloody disgusting.

I won't try to politicise the issue, but most of them look like they fit a certain mould too...

But poor hygiene is sadly, very Australian.

All throughout South East Asia, India, the US and the UK (England and Scotland).

Many in the more poverty-stricken areas of South East Asia, the people may not have the means as we do, but they at the least don't wear their shoes inside, try to if they have access to clean water bathe before they enter their beds, travelling through their public Transport (discounting India) there is very little BO smell, unlike in Australia.

These countries are in general more respectful of their countries, their people and their family (even if the value of human life may be less).  This leads to people growing up appreciating more what they have and try to make it last, keep it and themselves clean and don't rely on "48-hour protection" deodorant because they bathe more.

It sounds like you're the one who hasn't travelled.

I've been on many aid trips and charity awareness trips, including the Kokoda challenge, not just touristy places.  I've stayed with locals and in 5-star accommodation.

Honestly, if you had travelled on more than like a sex holiday and took a detour off the tourist tracks, you'd get a better idea of our neighbours and just how lucky we are. 

It's easy to think we're #1 and we're doing everything right, but boy reality is very different.

I went to the supermarket today and there were no baked beans, I saw someone cough and I freaked out, I am heading back into the bush. Within every supermarket i have entered recently, i have been able to locate a hygiene wipe dispenser. It is always located close to one of the entrances. SUGGESTION; Take one of these [wet] hygiene wipes, and wipe down the trolley handle [everywhere, that you will touch the handle.]. There is a lot of 'stuff' going around on peoples hands! Unless they are frequently washing their hands, most peoples hands have pathogens GROWING on them, like open petri dishes! While I can't stand parents wet wiping down the slide at the park before their kid can use it, even before COVID-19, we should have been wiping down the trolley handles. I've had to take 5 flights in the last few weeks, every time at the airport I've had to go to the toilet after/before the flight, I swear I'm like 1 of maybe 2 people who actually wash their hands after using the toilet, the rest just fix their hair in the mirror and walk out. It's bloody disgusting. I won't try to politicise the issue, but most of them look like they fit a certain mould too... But poor hygiene is sadly, very Australian. Yet people in these threads are happy to call people of entire ethnicities dirty... You haven't traveled much have you Sad.

Where to, Rich?

Wuhan, capital city of Hubei province, has used about 1,964 tons of disinfectant as of Tuesday to sterilize the city's drainage and sewage treatment facilities during the novel coronavirus epidemic.

The city kicked off disinfection work on Jan 29 to prevent pathogens from entering the sewer.

The local water authority established a team of experts to formulate disinfection standards and clarified epidemic emergency management work to ensure the safety of drainage facilities, outflow areas, sewage treatment facilities and maintenance staff.

The water authority also tasked a second disinfection operation for the sewage in some key areas, including designated hospitals, mobile cabin hospitals and temporary renovated schools and hotels to reduce the risk of virus entering the sewage.

"Widley reported", but one state-run source with a questionable reputation.

If it's true, good on them, although it's a little "Security Theatre" to either make their own population feed like they're doing something, the International Community or both.

SARS could survive on surfaces and in feces for up to 12 hours.  So far, and it's still being researched, COVID-19 is able to survive no longer than 2 hours on surfaces and we're yet to have an answer for feces.

I just find it typically disappointing that information coming out of China that those who want to sensationalise the issues and spread fear gets ignored when it doesn't suit their agenda, like the infection rate dropping, but have no issue believing and then sharing information such as fogging in the streets or "disinfecting" the outside of planes (both untrue or totally meaningless when it comes to stopping a virus) when they can use it to forward their agenda.

How much you like what a source is saying has nothing to do with how reliable or trustworthy they are.  It's the same backwards logic, hypocrisy and double standards used to defend Trump and attack his opponents.

I've looked for a second source and at least via English Language websites I've not been able to find any.

My Mandarin is just enough to greet and farewell people, thank them and order certain foods...

Don't shoot the messenger.
The link was in English.
Just because there is a slight drop in infections over the last couple of days don't get your hopes up, there are outbreaks everywhere, I just heard the chief of the WHO on the ABC saying we have a small window of opportunity to contain this virus.

When I saw this news item it came up as one of the main news items of the day, I thought it was out there with drastic measures taken, I don't know how disinfecting the sewer system will help at the end of the line where microbes are used as treatment, the microbes will all be dead.

When you asked for citation I to struggled to find that one link, it was possibly a bit to out there?

As for your Trump rant,, whatever.

The Chinese need to cleanup their act, there have been four major disease outbreaks there in the last 20yrs and we all know why.

It's only a matter of time when Don dons a stethoscope - he is the best at everything.

Today hero Rush Limbaugh said that CoV is a plot against Trump :)

these figures relating to Iran, correct as of today.....



COVID-19

Confirmed Cases by Country/Region

Iran = 95

Deaths, in Iran = 16


Death rate in Iran,     16/95*100 = 16.84%       !!!!!



Not correct ?

Correct, but you cannot draw conclusions from that alone.

What ?

Are you suggesting that we can't believe the information [about COVID-19, in Iran] which is being released by the Iranian regime ?

Or can we,    ....believe the information [about COVID-19, in Iran] which is being released by the Iranian regime ?



What does this all mean ?

I'm confused.

I blame COVID-19.

No, I said you can't draw any conclusions from that.

The death rate is like the top-level information you give to a manager who failed up in a company during a meeting because he doesn't know or understand what else is going on.

You need to far more information before you can draw any conclusion from that one number.

You need to know the demographics of the deceased.  Their ages, their medical records, treatment etc.

The death rate is what scares people and put them into a panic for no reason and this can cause more fatalities.

Yes, I saw that.

Don, Rudy, and Rush should all be sharing a padded cell somewhere.
