Not shocked by the number but shocked by the difference in the reported number if true.


It's the internet. Both are probably way off.

This is way worse than SARS

Did China close entire cities because of SARS? Cut the internet? Close Disney land? Ban people from traveling? Try and build a hospital in 10 days?

China knows this is BAD and is trying to get ahead of it in a VERY big way.

Just looking on Twitter shows its worse than its being led on. Content Seems very limited though.

Is anyone really shocked by the 90k number with the number of people in that country and areas that have been exposed?


It's not the number of people. Its the number of people infected in a certain amount of time. If they are at 90k from the first suspected infection happening in early December, that would blow out of the water the SARS and MERS scares from the past 20 years.

I am skeptical that number is real unless the infection really started in November and it was kept under wraps.

Someone older than me can comment, but I can’t recall China doing this level of stuff for other “outbreaks” over there.

That's the concerning part. Their actions speak much louder than words.

I was in Shanghai and Beijing last week


What is the real story/fallout from the swine flu epizootic?
News feeds I've read is that half the population (25% of the world's number) of pig lost last year. 300,000,000+ of a main staple protein food source, dead or slaughtered and burned, at a three-trillion dollar loss.
Point is, do Chinese veterinarians not have the capability to develop a cheap, pig-grade flu vaccine over a year to keep from losing three-trillon dollars in pork? If they did, do they have the logistical capability to distribute it?
If not, and Wuhan is the next Spanish Flu, do they have the capability to generate a vaccine for humans, quickly?
How are they going to be able to curtail it, other than closing off cities and letting it run it's course?
Wait for Eli Lilly or Pfizer to figure it out then buy the remedy, or steal it?
If there are cases in the US, we should know real soon how bad it really could be.

Probably asking a lot, but if you could try to post every few hours so that we know the internet is still working that'd be awesome

I'm all for taking this coronavirus seriously. It’s deadly and scary. But you know what also is a grave threat to global health? The climate crisis.

Chinese state media confirmed on Friday that the coronavirus, spreading from the city of Wuhan, has now infected 29 of China’s 31 provinces, a concession critics will likely take as confirmation that the Chinese government has not been honest about how rapidly the disease is spreading.

Here is someone's translation from that video on youtube from a medical worker in Wuhan (which we don't know if its real or not)...

quote:

Dear friends, elders, I am ??

I ’m still in the epidemic area of ??Hankou, Wuhan, and I ’d like to report to you the current epidemic situation in Hubei and even the whole country.
There are now more than 90,000 person-times (Note: Infected person-times?)
What is the chance of this virus being transmitted? After a person is infected, if he is not effectively isolated,
Or if effective treatment is performed, he will infect 14 people around him, so this level is very large.
Now it ’s the time of the Chinese New Year family and friends, relatives, children, and children are all going to the house to reunite the family together for a reunion dinner
The situation is special now. I hope you do n’t go out.
Every year in the Spring Festival, as long as people are safe, everyone can be together anytime, anywhere
Let me introduce you to the situation of medical supplies in Hubei Province
At present, the entire medical system in Wuhan, which integrates the entire medical system in Hubei Province, has passed through our superiors. The health and health committee (Note: these three words are uncertain)
And various administrative departments

The municipal government and the provincial government are initiating donations to the society through major media. This material is medical material. For example, the goggles I wear
Wear disposable masks, wear disposable gloves, wear this gown, or even isolation pants.
This material is extremely accurate. Our current medical staff must come back to the front line when they come down from the clinic.
I am now equivalent to recording this video with everyone on the FireWire, in order to make everyone accurate.
I stress again that during the Spring Festival holiday, do n’t go out and stay in your own house, otherwise I ’m desperately ahead
Not just to keep my dad, my loved ones, healthy
I hope everyone can understand, I also know that some relatives are not in the group, please see the news of me, call each other and inform
It must be done. I hope everyone can raise awareness. This is a political task.
And I ’m reporting very bad news. This new type of coronavirus has undergone the second generation mutation
In other words, in the first generation of mutation, we can treat it symptomatically.
Then when the second-generation mutation occurs, this is terrible, and its chance of infection is not one person to one person, one person has the disease and infects 14 people around him.

Then it is pour burst (note: these five characters are uncertain)
I hope everyone remembers, do n’t go out, do n’t go out, do n’t meet, do n’t have dinner
thank you all

If it started back in December wouldn't it be more prevalent in several countries by now?
