Stunning aerial images of Earth show a drastic decrease in pollution levels over northern China in the past month, as entire towns the size of New York City have been shut down amid the deadly outbreak.
The images, produced by NASA and the European Space Agency, compare air quality between Jan. 1 and Jan. 20 with pollution levels between Feb. 10 and 25 — and the difference in nitrogen dioxide concentration is stunning.

“Yep, most of the pollution in China now is from incinerating bodies.”
BS. Just more retarded Internet rumors.
So sad.
“Where is little Swedish psycho Greta Thunberg now that the Chinese people need her?”
They don’t need her. They’ve cleared up their little greenhouse gas problem except for the incinerators for the bodies.
My calculations agree with the 200,000 number, but I am being conservative in the numbers I state as I am willing to defend them.
But it is Wuhan - they locked everybody in, millions of people, with a disease that is highly contagious. The medical infrastructure collapsed, so the 2% CFR went to 15% and everybody that had other medical issues also didn’t get treatment.
Other places that have been able to focus more resources on fewer cases are doing much better in terms of absolute numbers, but it is early, and we don’t have a handle on this thing anywhere, yet.
Don’t trust the numbers from anywhere in China, from Iran, and don’t trust the absence of reports from places that always have high levels of disease but for some reason aren’t reporting CV cases at all. They can’t test and likely can’t see the problem, yet.
The medical infrastructure in Lombardy is reported to be saturated - what happens there is going to be indicative of whether we are fighting brushfires or a conflagration.
Containment will still slow this down and save lives. I think we should have closed the southern border a month ago, but that would have caused a political firestorm and been unsustainable due to lawfare. We should do it now with troops and drones.
This isn’t an abortion thread. Western culture values human life more than the CCP does. I’m not making excuses for progressives or their redefinition of ‘human’. Try to stay on topic.
“Just more retarded Internet rumors.”
I was being sarcastic, but did you look at the maps?
The “retarded internet rumors” about the number of bodies being cremated are supported by a number of reports from the crematorium workers themselves and other sources including satellite imagery.
But you’re still in “but flu” mode so I’ll cut you some slack.
I'm sorry for my frustration and lashing out in my previous reply; but it IS a thread about DEATH.
Well; about 'death' and not DEATH.
And; it appears; about overcrowding.
I'm well aware about the West/East differences; but it seems to me that on many topics we are drawing closer and closer.
Take their One family - one child policy.
Girls get the short end of the stick there; while here we tend to kill boys in about the same ratio as the little ladies.
Northern one as well
OK.
Some consider nitrogen dioxide to be a pollutant; while others consider unborn humans to be.
She is saving the world with a plague. Diabolical
Actually, I like you mistake name.
It’s like Mordor from Lord of the Rings (land of Sauron and Mount Doom) plus Northeast, 1st home of Leftist America.
Mortheast.
And I should add another: Mordifornia.
They claimed the virus is under control now...yet so many still quarantined with the virus.
