You realize it’s been about six weeks since any news came out of China that wasn’t directly from their government?
WHO has been there for weeks
They are the ones that reported between .4%-.7% current mortality rate on March 2nd.

South Korea released its its guidelines for treating COVID-19 LINK
quote:
Korean physicians treating the patients infected with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) have established the treatment guidelines for the unpreceded coronavirus. The key guidelines are as following; healthy patients with no existing disease do not need an administration of an antiviral drug, and, once physicians decide on the use of antiviral treatment, they should do so as quickly as possible. The COVID-19 Central Clinical Task Force, composed of physicians and experts treating the confirmed patients across the nation, held the sixth video conference and agreed on these and other treatment principles for patients with COVID-19.
If patients are young, healthy, and have mild symptoms without underlying conditions, doctors can observe them without antiviral treatment, according to the guidelines. If more than 10 days have passed since the onset of the illness and the symptoms are mild, physicians do not have to start an antiviral medication, the task force said.
However, if patients are old or have underlying conditions with serious symptoms, physicians should consider an antiviral treatment. If they decide to use the antiviral therapy, they should start the administration as soon as possible, the task force noted.
For the antiviral treatment, the doctors recommended lopinavir 400mg/ritonavir 100mg (Kaletra two tablets, twice a day) or chloroquine 500mg orally per day.

I haven't heard of any National Guard deployments in Ohio. Only one I know if is New Rochelle, NY.
Ohio did declare a State of Emergency, but so have a lot of places.

Guess what, my company came out and said that our Chinese factory was opening back up weeks ago, it hasn’t, the directors now let us know that the Chinese government directed them to say that knowing full well that it was not really going to happen.

Get the ISS to take more photos -- clear sky = no production; cloudy as heck means they're back up.

Factories that are going back to work have less than 20% of their workforce as all of the workers are scattered and restricted and not allowed to travel back to the provinces the factories are in

Right, that’s why I was asking.

This is the first in-depth analysis out of Korea I’ve seen. It’s promising and supports the theory that Italy is in trouble because of the large number of elderly infected. The Korean numbers have a ton of young patients, even children.

The fatality rate of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) increased with age, and Korean patients aged over 50 had six times higher mortality than those aged under 50, a medical journal reported.
The report particularly noted that the proportion of children and adolescents aged under 19 rose to account for 4.8 percent of the local COVID-19 patients.
The report, which analyzed 4,212 COVID-19 patients in Korea, was released on the Journal of Korean Medical Science
By age, patients in their 20s were the largest group taking up 29.3 percent of the total, followed by those in their 50s with 19.8 percent. By sex, females were predominant, accounting for 62.2 percent of the total.
On March 2, of 4,212 confirmed cases, 22 patients have died (0.5 percent), and 20 among them were 50 years old or older. The fatality rate among patients 50 years or older was 1.2 percent, six times higher than 0.2 percent among those aged 50 or younger.
Seven (31.8 percent) out of the fatal patients were from the psychiatric ward of the Daenam Hospital in Cheongdo. The youngest, 35-year-old Mongolian, had suffered from chronic hepatic failure with cirrhosis.
As of March 2, there were 201 COVID-19 patients aged 19 or under, 4.8 percent of the total. Among them, 15.9 percent were under nine years old, and 169 children (84.1 percent) were 10 years old or older.
“Most pediatric patients are in mild clinical conditions,” the report said
