The Chinese ran out of tests. They’re telling the infected to stay inside and are now boarding and welding them up to keep them put. No hospital beds.
10-20x the reported numbers is likely.
If they told the truth:
All flights and borders would be shut down and travelers overseas would be reined home.
Economic collapse.
Food riots.
Military would have to thwart the civil unrest.
Better to lie and hope they can sort it out.
What is your opinion on how this plays out here in the US? I don’t buy the “warmer spring weather will save us” bit, Florida, Texas, California and plenty of other very warm winter states get the flu just like the rest of us. The fact that we are letting plains fly in from China still to me says “Our government is clueless as to how dangerous this is or knows and figures it’s worth the risk”
