In a country that has had a One Child policy for close to 50 years, how is it even possible to have 40 family members? Our family averages nearly three kids per generation, and I don't have 40 family members.


Shhhhhhh. Don’t ask obvious questions. Just believe the internet.

And remember, that’s just the family he’s “lost.” So even if it’s massively more deadly than what’s being reported and it’s killing 50% of those infected....that’s 80 family members that would be needed.

I’m struggling to think of a social structure with more than 20 family members total.

Remember, one child system means no brothers, no sisters, no aunts, no nieces and nephews, no uncles, and no potential in-laws with any of those family roles.

ETA: worth meationing that around half of families could get a second child for much of the time period.

Still, unless literally just entire extended family was killed by the virus, then it still couldn’t happen.

I've been public enemy number one in this thread from like page 5. It's ride or die at this point.

However, I did make an ill-advised month-long ban bet that no one accepted.

In all honesty, I don't mean to be a contrarian. I just don't post in most of the threads where I agree with the majority. I don't see any value in basically saying "+1". I agree with the takes around here far more often than I disagree, but I'm far more likely to post if I disagree.

The quarantine officer on board the ship in Japan tests positive for Corona virus

He went throughout the ship contacting all the people in quarantine and then would go home to his family.

Is this thing engineered to only infect certain ethnicities?

Seeing translated tweets now from verified accounts that seem to suggest it's martial law in several provinces now?

The tweet translated it as "wartime control." Didn't specifically say Wuhan/Hubei but I'm assuming it's possibly more widespread? I know the army had previously been sent in, but didn't know about them providing supplies to people now.

Ruh roh. Apparently they're under wartime control in several of their districts too. This thing is ravaging China.

It's still probably being under-reported. I might have to make a big Costco run this weekend just in case it takes off here.

From the actual release. This is just Google's translation so take it with a grain of salt:

quote:

With the deepening of understanding of new coronavirus pneumonia and the accumulation of experience in diagnosis and treatment, in view of the characteristics of the epidemic in Hubei Province, the General Office of the National Health and Health Commission and the Office of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine issued the "Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for New Coronavirus Infected Pneumonia "adds" clinical diagnosis "to the case diagnosis classification in Hubei Province, so that patients can receive standardized treatment according to confirmed cases as early as possible to further improve the success rate of treatment. According to the plan, Hubei Province has recently conducted investigations on suspected cases and revised the diagnosis results, and newly diagnosed patients were diagnosed according to the new diagnosis classification. In order to be consistent with the classification of case diagnosis issued by other provinces across the country, starting today, Hubei Province will include the number of clinically diagnosed cases into the number of confirmed cases for publication.
