Not sure if I buy everything this particular dude is saying, but it’s probably closer to the truth than what the CCP releases.
Another video of chemical disinfection in the streets of Wuhan #coronavirus
All known cases have been controlled. To quote Donald Rumsfeld:
Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknownsthe ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.What we don't know today is how many people in the US have corona, but don't know it, think it is the flu, or aren't symptomatic yet. Seems unlikely that we have identified and contained 100%. There are still regular flights from China to the US every day. US airlines have cancelled flights, but Asian airlines like China Eastern are still flying back and forth between China and the US every day.
One of the people diagnosed with #coronavirus in the UK attended a conference near parliament last week along with about 250 other delegates
You can only calculate the fatality rate from resolved cases. Once all those unresolved cases are resolved one way or the other, we’ll have better numbers. (HA! CCP numbers are BS! We all know this.) But what we have now is what we have to work with.
But the reason that the numbers in Wuhan are so high, and everywhere else seems so much lower (including the rest of mainland China) is because the medical facilities in Wuhan have been overwhelmed. This is not the case outside of China.
Containment is key. Anywhere containment fails will go the way of Wuhan once the medical facilities are saturated.
Containment is key.
The southern border should be closed NOW. 100% shut down. We have no idea what’s happening in Central America, but we do know there is a significant Chinese presence there. Same for Africa, but we don’t get migrant caravans from Africa (but Europe does, sort of...)
It’s probably too late, but quarantines and restrictions will slow the Wuhanic Plague down, at least somewhat, and probably save lives. Were it my purview I’d start shutting down international travel from any place with a significant number of infected, and so forth. But, as I said, it’s probably too late.
39° or thereabouts.
Oh well, was going to tell you to get some rays. Thought you were in socal.
Hope you’re better soon!
That’s right, folks! This crap could kill off nearly 40 percent of Americans who get it.
Prepare for self-isolation, and for you gun enthusiasts out there, BLOAT.
PING!
True. This illness can last for several weeks before it concludes.
I would multiply the no. of dead by 10 as well; they are certainly lowballing their mortality numbers.
I actually hope you’re right, but bolobaby’s best guesstimate is the one I would prefer to use for now.
Many on this thread need a xanax the size of a basketball :-)
I’m still going to go get my mail.
Let’s all post our latitude, for SCIENCE!
46.5° N
“If 10x more people have it, and the confirmed dead is the same, then doesnt that nose-dive the mortality rate?”
You’re assuming the confirmed dead number is accurate, when it is just as likely to be bogus as the confirmed infected number. Probably by the same factor.
There is empirical evidence that there are many, many more dead. The Chinese quarantined whole cities and shut down their whole economy for what is clearly not just a case of the sniffles, or the flu.
“Upper respiratory stuffiness”
As I understand it, the Wuhanic Plague presents as pneumonia and it’s lower respiratory. You might live. I could be wrong on either count, though.
I think you should.
“COVID-19 is 30 times more deadly than the seasonal flu based on current numbers.
2.1% vs 0.07%”
Assuming everybody currently confirmed infected recovers. I wouldn’t count on it.

If solar elevation is at least 50deg, you’ll make vitamin D in the sun.
I used to get pretty badly sunburned (face) on winter ski trips, sometimes up in British Columbia. And I have a medium olive complexion. Of course, reflection off the snow and elevation/altitude has a lot to do with that.
