re: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) ***W.H.O. DECLARES A GLOBAL PANDEMIC***

So, you believe there's one Oz Behind the Curtain person who is making decisions for every hospital and medical clinic in the country? And telling them not to test for a particular infectious disease?

Here is a firsthand Chinese account from an older woman who was sick with the coronavirus. She said her husband didn't make it, and they put him in a plastic bag while he was still alive. And she saw others that were in critical condition sent to be incinerated before they had died.

The US either has either chosen not to test to avoid a panic, or we don't have the ability. Or, if you're gullible, we're so much more advanced than the rest of the world that we can accurately model these brand new virus numbers and skip the testing.

In the US, researchers have access to data on influenza like illness that test negative for influenza. The people reviewing that data are not, as of a couple of days ago, seeing anything that suggest that there are significant numbers of undetected COVID19 cases out there. CDC would like to see more actual test results but there is nothing out there suggesting that we are about to see a situation like Iran or Italy (COVID19 diagnoses and deaths on the same day) pop up in a major US city. Iran & Italy both should have noticed an uptick in ILIs 10 - 14 days before actually seeing any deaths from COVID19, based on what we know at this time.

So you think you’re about to be in a pandemic?

quote:

Currently, disease spread in Singapore is being slowed by their expertise but new case numbers in South Korea, Italy and Iran, and the wide national distribution of cases in Japan are all signs that the virus is ahead of our efforts to contain it.

---

At some point, we’ll be in the main phase of a pandemic; epidemics of an efficiently transmitting pathogen spreading widely within the community of two or more countries, apart from the first one to report it.[1] A pandemic doesn’t necessarily mean the disease is severe.

Planning now and doing something means we can control how well we cope with some of what may be coming.

But what can we plan for and do?

Let’s break this into two main categories.

Reducing our risk of being infected

Reducing the chance we will run out of essential foods and goods

quote:

---

Pandemic is a word, how we react to it is down to us

We all want to have some control over our lives but when a virus comes knocking as this one is, we feel the loss of that control. The lists above are something we can actually do.

Seems unlikely in the West, yes. I don't think most on here get exactly how the CCP operates. Its so foreign to our way of life that people don't understand how brutal the CCP can be.

It's possible that she is wrong or was misinterpreted, but I wouldn't discount it out of hand. This also isn't an isolated case of state brutality... it fits a pattern that has been documented many times in China.

Yea I’m not going to believe anything like that from twitter especially when the numbers we are seeing outside of China are matching up pretty closely with what we were given inside of China.
