That does look interesting. Doesn't surprise me though. Universities in the USA are hotbeds of communist ideology. Seems natural for them to team up with our Chicom friends.

They have confirmed cases where the patient does not show symptoms...Asymptomatic.
Really dangerous. Spreading the stuff, with maybe a scratchy throat.

That is a scary video if you buy into that stuff. I prefer not to myself.

I've been watching the Ebola outbreak in Africa since 2018, specifically the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) where it borders Uganda. The WHO has said the same thing there about not limiting international travel or trade. Uganda imposed restrictions anyway and has been mostly free of the ravages of the disease. When a case does show up, they are quick to contain it and all the associated people. It turns out that in those cases the person crossed the border in a place the government didn't know about. (As in illegal alien status). In that disease outbreak, WHO was slow to do anything and claimed that it needed more money. Several nations ignored WHO and provided the help they could which did far more to control Ebola than anything WHO did. I don't know if there is any corruption, but it does seem that the organization is not doing what it was originally chartered to do.
And as for China buying into Ethopia, yes, they're doing it and setting themselves up for a permanent presence in Africa. Even Namibia on the opposite side of Africa from Ethopia is trying to contend with the Chinese and has sent several high ranking officials home. Keep in mind that Africa has a lot of natural resources and China is poised to be the primary controller of these resources.

China with its long recorded history thinks in terms of long term strategies. There's no doubt they are re-colonizing Africa to their own advantage duplicating what Europeans did ~300 years ago.
Namibia? That is really the back end of nowhere. I think diamonds are the only resource presently developed. Other efforts were tried and then shut down, due cost of operation in a place so remote that it wasn't profitable. Scarce water, scarce educated labor, a small government running the place like a family secret for their own benefit alone, mostly empty desert. I thought the more resource-rich African nations would see Chinese involvement long before Namibia.
Off-topic - after my daughter's semester-abroad in South Africa she and 3 other women did a road trip including the neighboring countries before flying home. When they reached Namibia's northern border, Angolan border guards frantically waved them away. They didn't realize the border was planted with land mines. Things are just different in remote areas of Africa.

That's not how that works. recovered over dead would be a better measure of death rate. you can't count people who are active, you don't know if they will be in the dead or recovered column.

You can't guess the death rate yet. At this point it's pure speculation, there's just not enough info.

Can't guess the death rate? Huh? Whose guessing? of the 30,620 closed cases, 27,909 (91%) survived (some with lifelong scarring of the lungs) and 2,711 (9%) died as a result of contracting the Coronavirus.
There is no guesswork here, this is math. How big of a distribution of closed cases do you think we need before we can draw a conclusion on the percentage of fatalities?

Found this quote
As of (Feb 23), the US remains extremely limited in COVID19 testing.
Only 3 of ~100 public health labs have @CDC test kits working, and CDC is not sharing what went wrong with the kits.
How would we know if COVID19 is spreading here if we are not looking for it.

The deposits of rare earth elements in the seabed far surpass any deposits found on terra firma to date...

Wow Dude, that's kinda' deep.
The problem is the wide range of severity with this illness compared to previous viruses. Most in the past have left little doubt when someone had a possible case, and had to be tested. This current virus affects many in such a minor way, with a mild sore throat for example, that they never get tested or request treatment. But they continue to spread to others. So we count those we test, and those severely sick or who have died. How will we every know a true number of those infected? The South Korea test might be the best so far, if they test and monitor the entire group.

Even so, of the closed cases that have been counted, there is a 9% death rate.
