Officials estimate the death rate for the virus to be around 3% to 4% globally, based on the information they have, though they expect that number to fall. While the virus can be fatal, it’s mostly the elderly and those with a weakened immune system or other health conditions who face more serious risks. Secondly, the mortality rate for coronavirus is not even close to 100%. That’s not the case with the coronavirus.įirst off, people infected by the coronavirus tend to develop symptoms about five days after exposure, and almost always within two weeks, according to a recent study. Wuhan-400’s kill rate is one hundred percent.”
Once infected, no one lives more than twenty-four hours. That’s an incredibly short gestation period. For one thing, you can become an infectious carrier only four hours after coming into contact with the virus.
“And Wuhan-400 has other, equally important advantages over most biological agents. In a later paragraph, the character Dombey goes on to say that no one infected with virus survives: In the book, the virus has a 100% mortality rate But the idea that the virus was created in a lab is actually a conspiracy theory that originated from unverified social media accounts and has since been widely dismissed by scientists from both China and the West.Įxperts are still trying to figure out the exact source of the virus, but research indicates that it likely originated in bats and was transmitted to an intermediate host before jumping to people – just like its cousin that caused the 2003 SARS epidemic. It’s true that the current coronavirus outbreak began in Wuhan, China. The name of the weapon was changed to “Wuhan-400” when the book was released again in 1989, according to the South China Morning Post. They call the stuff ‘Wuhan-400’ because it was developed at their RDNA labs outside the city of Wuhan, and it was the four-hundredth viable strain of man-made microorganisms created at that research center.”įirst, it’s worth pointing out that in the original 1981 edition of “The Eyes of Darkness,” this biological weapon was called “ Gorki-400,” in reference to a Russian locality. It was around then that a Chinese scientist named Li Chen defected to the United States, carrying a diskette record of China’s most important and dangerous new biological weapon in a decade. “To understand that,” Dombey said, “you have to go back twenty months. In the screenshot page from the novel, a character named Dombey narrates a story about a Chinese scientist who brought a biological weapon called “Wuhan-400” to the United States:
