Amazing that they have cancelled New Years celebrations. That has got to have their people panicked. They need the military obviously. Wonder if communist guns or coronavirus will kill more ?

Of the 1300 odd cases in Wuhan, 237 are in critical condition.

About 20%.

And about 3% dead.

No health system in the world could deal with that.

Ack, they’re still not saying where the mystery patient is. However, the spokesperson admitted the patients are being asked to self isolate meaning not to spend “too much time” in crowds.

You can be sure the ChiComs will not care one way or the other.

Headline says 3 dead in MICHIGAN, but the story says three cases. Hopefully this is just incompetence at CBS.

At this point, they might as well have let the celebrations continue. The horses have been out of the barn for a while.

I’ve seen it reported that they HAVE called in their military but I don’t know how credible the reports are. That’s the problem with the epicenter being in China. Who knows what to believe?

18 % critical. Wonder how many are old or young or male ? Means basically one out of 5 infected have to be hospitalized or they die. Not enough beds. Conditions in China currently show that.

Dear Comrades, we had to put a bullet in each flu victim just to make sure they were dead.

Dilute the bleach. It will still kill the bugs. And it will save your clothes.

Now I’m going to have nightmares.

But might explain the patient in Washington state being treated with a robot...

All of what that guy said is plausible....but it could be fiction.

HOWEVER, please see the article I posted about the scientist at CHapel Hill working on a China Bat/Sars virus in 2015.

So..this could be a natural event.

OR

It could be an accidental release of a bioweapon

Watch what China does..not what it says.

Most medium sized hospitals (300-500 beds) have a couple dozen beds in ICU. Another bunch in intermediate care with telemetry. The rest are med/surg and ortho. With some baby rooms.

And many of those places do not have the physical beds to go to two in a room. Getting the hospital beds would take months.

Add another 50 spots in the ER, and you might be able to get 700 bodies in a hospital.

There is not enough staff. And the wise nurses will stay home. Certainly the janitorial staff and admin support staff are going to weigh the danger and stay home.

Systems will fail ( they need constant attention.)

In a week, it will look like something in Somalia.

I would think anyone without eye protection would also be susceptible even if masked.


Yes. All mucous membrane areas are susceptible.

Hand sanitizers are for BACTERIA, not VIRUSes.

They are pointless for virus.


True!!
