It is not clear what the true numbers of those infected with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and dead are, especially coming from China. It is not clear what the origin of this super-virus, a bio-weapon, man-made, or laying dormant on bats for years until it decided to come to humans. It is not clear how exactly this virus spreads. What is clear, is that basic information that was provided in similar circumstances in the past, is unavailable.

This isn’t yet another article claiming China engineered this weapon or the Democrats unleashed it to distract from their poor debate performance or something. No, this is an article that raises on alarm on how in-the-dark we are about what this virus means on a personal level.

It is inevitable at this point that the Coronavirus will touch your community in some way. Plus, it’s still flu season. So next time you start to feel flu-like symptoms, you might want to see if you got the trendy new disease (Tiktok Coronavirus challenge incoming?). So you decide to search “Coronavirus symptoms.” And find…not much. For a disease far outpacing it’s modern-day predecessors in infections, rate of infections, and deaths, we should have a fair grip on exactly what a timeline of someone with this disease looks like. While President Trump (in this hilarious manner shown below) keeps saying it’s “like the flu,” liberal media rush to call him an idiot and stoke panic by saying it isn’t, because of numbers and stuff.

Very enjoyable watching CDC's Dr. Anne Schuchat try to hold back laughter as @realDonaldTrump riffs on coronavirus hygiene. pic.twitter.com/hyeEoIY7u5 — Anders Hagstrom (@Hagstrom_Anders) February 27, 2020

But none truly explain what it is like for a patient to go through the disease, from beginning to end. Not a single infographic on any news outlet or government website gives us a flowchart, timeline, anything. I urge you to find a good one so you can say I’m wrong, please, I want to spread it, because that is good and easy to disseminate information.

But what I won’t be wrong on is the fact this isn’t an instant result when you type in “Coronavirus symptoms.” That’s the issue. If I have to dig deep on the web for some retired virologist and his graphic designer grandson to have a good graphic on the symptoms and timeline of the symptoms, there’s the problem. It is not easily accessible. Paranoid middle-aged women on Facebook won’t go beyond the first Google search result or what the CDC posted on their Facebook page or an infographic shown on their local ABC or Fox affiliate local news. This stokes panic overall among the public, which adds fuel to the fire that some conspiracy-theorist writers online have discussed: the powers that be might want panic. Maybe so. Maybe Western media and governments haven’t truly had the chance to see what an average Coronavirus patient looks like, because until the disease’s recent explosion outside of China, China has kept a tight lid on any information coming out from mainland cases Well, Western governments and media, here is your chance to examine what an average patient looks like during the infected period, we will be having plenty of cases. Because this lone, uninformative webpage by the CDC isn’t enough.
