you need to be exposed to second hand smoke for long periods of time before it can kill you, the covid-19 exposure take considerably less time in comparison, then again are they really comparable at this point?
somewhere between 2.2~(3 | 4 ?), one thing though, unlike SARS, WARS(nCoV) is already contagious during incubation period(14 days) and even before any symptoms cough/fever shows up, this SUPER complicates any measure to quarantine it
short answer is we have to wait for "28 days later", the long answer is... complicated, please take this with a grain of salt
the first tide of WARS(nCoV) "Contagion" have either become ill(hospitalized and quarantined) or dead, so now we're waiting to see if the number of cases outside of China still climbs as a local transmission epidemic
If this tide continues, international country like eg Singapore can super-spread this into global pandemic like H1N1 unless we close off borders and ban all flights/shippings economics/travels...
How viable is such containment actually remains to be seen, lets pray for the best
I'm not sure anybody wanted to be "that guy" who defy "that rule" and gets incarcerated or branded as "Liar" like those 8 other whistle blower doctors... history can always be nicely rewritten since ancient times in China
looking at the video today on how its portrayal of Hong Kong's struggle with it's identity and existence is somewhat surreal because the Hong Kong protesters in gasmask gives me an eerie cyberpunk vibes
what if the truth we believe is very well "inception-able"? Can we distinguish ideas planted by others(religion, government, pop cultures, movies etc)from our own, let alone "truth" from those AI who "study/spy" on our thoughts to better "serve/enslave" us?
出身985，工作996，劝退35，离职251，维权404 is a slogan to the working culture in China
the context for the numbers are 985(graduate from top universities), 996(working 12 hours each for 6 days), 35(age discrimination in firing), 251(days unlawfully locked behind bars), 404(all reports and complaints censored from the web)
they already have unmanned drones with lethal weapon in war
the deployment of machines in urban city is only a matter of time, with the rising stake and the scare of massive social movement, "they" will justify the usage to suppress "crime" of dissident
whether the robots are manned or autonomous or self-aware, one thing is inevitable are the harms/deaths caused by "them" eventually
