The mainstream media in the western world isn’t telling you that Chinese hospitals are being absolutely overwhelmed by the number of sick people showing up for treatment. So the truth is that the official numbers that the Chinese government is putting out are almost meaningless at this point because hordes of sick people are being turned away from the hospitals because there is no room for them. On Wednesday, Chinese officials took the unprecedented step of attempting to quarantine the entire city of Wuhan, but what good is that going to do if most of the sick people are turned away by the hospitals and sent back to circulate among the general population? There are about 11 million people living in Wuhan, and there will only be about 2,000 hospital beds available for those that have caught this mysterious new coronavirus. And considering the fact that officials are now admitting that this virus is being spread through “respiratory transmission”, it looks like this could become a complete and utter public health nightmare very rapidly.

It has nothing to do with diversity and inclusion. It’s because we have virtually instantaneous worldwide travel.
“Same reason fentanyl and methamphetamine precursors originate out of China. PLA war on Americans”
I have always wanted to walk through a Toys are US with a geiger counter.
“It has nothing to do with diversity and inclusion. It’s because we have virtually instantaneous worldwide travel.”
Thanks for that tidbit, Captain Obvious.
But those people coming back from the old country’s New Year celebrations are immigrants to ours, not blue-eyed Anglos.
Someone forgot to close the door.
The flu kills tens of thousands every year in the US. Use that for scale.
And our population is a rounding error of the Chinese population. And we have a lot better medical facilities.
No idea but the next epidemic like the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic is going to reap bloody havoc on China. They are ripe for a culling.
” And we have a lot better medical facilities.”
But very few ventilators compared to the population no matter where you are.
Still has nothing to do with “diversity and inclusion”. Try again sport.
“Still has nothing to do with “diversity and inclusion”. Try again sport”
Yep, it does, and I was being sarcastic, sport.
Much higher population density and inadequate sanitation practices in their cultivation of livestock.
Almost all these new viruses get started in pig or chicken farming operations and jump species to humans. We get into trouble when they mutate into highly contagious forms.
The Chinese have been coming to the US in droves for over 150 years. We’re they brought here to build the railroads because of “diversity and inclusion”?
Agree.
While quarantining an entire city is pretty extreme... I am not taking unsubstantiated rumors as fact.
“The Chinese have been coming to the US in droves for over 150 years. We’re they brought here to build the railroads because of “diversity and inclusion”?”
The Chinese have definitely NOT been coming here in droves for over 150 years. That is why Chinatown was so quaint, that is where they all lived.
And since everyone knows that the present state of massive immigration started with the Immigration Act of 1965 and then has ginned up severely since then, and the meme about inclusion and diversity is very recent in modern thought, why don’t you take your pissy self to some other place to be pissy.
