muncher Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) I have been thinking way before this outbreak occurred, how many people of the populaion have to die before the collapse of society?

Farmboy91 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Bad jokes and tin hats aside, I do find everything about it genuinely concerning. I dont doubt it is worse than is being reported though. But then again I suppose it will end up being like all the other 'deadly viruses' from the last 10 years or so.

But yeah you're right, it's bound to happen at some point and with world travel as easy and accessible as it is it's going to be far worse.

Recent estimates put it at 50 - 100 million over the 30 odd years it was around. No one knows where it came from, its only called Spanish flu because of a Spanish newspaper headline. The stronger you were, the more likely it was to die from it, 20 - 40 years old was the most likely fatal age. This was due to the bodies attempts to fight it off, killing the victim. Even with the poor transportation links back then, it soon went pretty much worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise the issue with Huawei has nothing to do with security, its purely political ? Huawei products are used and have been used for over 10 years in all UK infrastructure to some extent, modems , PCB chips, phones ? There are millions of people in this country with the well priced and excellent Huawei smartphones . If 5g is a security hole, then so is every piece of Chinese tech already here. And believe me, theres LOT of Chinese tech out there, you are likely using it right now, in some shape or form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China is growing so quickly, it will soon over take the US as a world economic power. With that, it wont be long before China becomes bigger militarily. The US seeks to economically limit Chinas growth using tariffs , and bullying other nations into not buying cheap Chinese kit. I believe they have tackled the problem far too late in the day.

Theres a reason their equipment is favoured, its high quality, and its saves billions, we already use it ! Like I say , if your suspicion is that they create back doors in the hardware, then we are doomed anyway, as we are , and have been using Huawei tech for YEARS .
