No one can leave to buy food...

Are the Chi-Comss cleansing their nation of its internal enemies / critics in the guise of a pandemic?

While I’d love to see an entire blockade of China, our current efforts seem reasonably successful. Sad to see and read about what is happening in China but in the big picture, China now needs to solve its own internal problems.

Normally, the rule of threes contains the following:

• You can survive three minutes without breathable air (unconsciousness generally occurs), or in icy water.
• You can survive three hours in a harsh environment (extreme heat or cold).
• You can survive three days without drinkable water.
• You can survive three weeks without food.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

This might work for four or five days. Then a number of folks will exit the building to find grocery stores chained and locked. Public panic will occur at that point, and thousands will attempt to leave the city.

I’ll predict mass chaos in city within seven days, and some general showing up to declare martial law. Expect a DOW drop by the beginning of March....maybe a thousand-point drop.

Soon there will be food shortages in most Chinese urban areas. Farmers won’t get fertilizer. Will have difficulty harvesting, storing and transporting crops. Transportation bring supplies and food to packagers will be disrupted. Whatever is actually produced or imported will be difficult to distribute to frightened consumers. Social and political disruptions will be immense as the death rate climbs exponentially. Many will be killed as a result of the violence inherent with social and political instability. Exaggeration? Hyperbole? Don’t think so.

No problem from where I sit.

20X deadlier than the flu that has killed 10,000 in the US this year.

I read a report out of China which detailed the effects by race. Chinese and Asian males were the most susceptible, between 90 and 100 % infection rate with one exposure. This is because of the number of virus receptors or docking ports in their lungs. Chinese/Asian females were next with a slightly lower rate. Blacks were about 70%. The absolute lowest was Caucasian females at less than 50%.

The DOW may briefly drop but we will more likely see US-based companies and others around the world quickly fill the vacuum left by lost Chinese production. Nothing made in China cannot be made elsewhere. None of it should have been in communist China in the first place.

It went from one person could go out to get food every other day. Then it was every 3 days. Then it was every 7 days. Now, zero going out. No, FR, they don’t have control of this “flu”.

From the twitter link:

CashSmart asked, "What if they run out of food? How are they supposed to eat?"

DWDesign replied, "They don't"

Kilkenny cats...

Q: If 500 people are welding into their apartment building, how many are alive after one month?

A: Only the cannibals...

[null and void]

welded, sheesh.

The demonrats will blame a Dow drop on Trump.

The average American home could easily go a few days without resupply if there is water and power. Almost everyone would be out of milk or other drinks but we could easily make it a couple of weeks, if inconvenienced. Everyone has a pantry that is mostly full, and most Americans worry more about spoilage that lack of anything. Refrigeration is a wonderful thing.

But in most other countries folks go out every day or every other day to pick up groceries and fresh bread. Stockpiling of essentials may happen but everyone’s routine includes regular restocking during the week.

I do not know about Chinese household meal prep patterns, except that young people, in the big cities, head to restaurants for most meals. It happens when one becomes wealthy.

Wuhan is a big city - Chicago or New York sized. I can not imagine how the daily life revolves around such a quarantine, with one of the most basic events now on hold.

And some of these apartment buildings have been on lockdown for almost a month ...

A friend’s brother and sister-in-law caught it on the Princess cruise in Japan. They are both Caucasian. Her brother is doing ok, but her sister-in-law is doing very poorly with pneumonia. She keeps on getting worse.

I’m guessing they are in their 60s maybe early 70s.

It makes me concerned about what will happen when it spreads here.

[texas booster]

The rule last week was that one person may go out and get food every 7 days (it was every 3 days).

Now no one may leave the buildings?

If no one may go out at all then what is the city government doing to distribute food (even rice) to these closed apartment buildings?

Who is working at the power plants and the water utilities to keep power and water flowing?

Why do I think that only the mayor and his cronies are getting resupplied?

[Spktyr]

That may have been the plan, but the fact that the Chinese government is panicking to this degree (not saying it’s not justified) tells you that this wasn’t planned. If it were planned, they would have slow walked their responses until far more parts of China were infected.

Right now I suspect they’re just shooting anyone publicly and traceably countering the official statements because they’re in that classic Communist disaster kneejerk mode - and not working their way down their long-established lists.

They may feel that they have a city of 11 million “useless eaters”.

[Spktyr]

Less than you might think - were either of these people smokers or did they live in any city with bad smog?

“Are the Chi-Comss cleansing their nation of its internal enemies / critics in the guise of a pandemic?”

My mother stated that is what is happening there just like Hitler did to his enemies.

Only the powerful party connected people get medical treatment. Everybody else left to die.
