Isn’t this just a 3% mortality rate?

Doesn’t the common cold have just about that much too?

It’s not like ebola which is greater than 75% mortality rate.

And just to add to the despair, out hospitals are working on a just in time delivery service for most supplies. And I am not talking meds. Gloves, masks, linens, paper products, and cleaning supplies. Most hospitals have weeks worth of supplies.

Now add in that that meds, IV liquid, and other mixes almost disappeared when the hurricane hit PR. Most of the saline in the US comes from a few factories. There are almost no backlogs. All just in time.

This would overwhelm every medium sized city in the US in a week to ten days.

Just as we around her learn not to rely on the government, your corporate healthcare which is run by efficiency experts has put us in a dire position. Do not think you will be able to rely on them.

Sometimes sitting in our Emergency Planning Meetings scared the shit out of us.

More infectious then Ebola. Cannot be stopped now. So more people will be infected, so total number dead could be higher cause of that.

Now you have given me nightmares.

So either Top Secret wrote a fan fiction based on what he was seeing on the internet...

or what he says is true..

because it fits exactly what is happening on that guys timeline.

Local medical person says it has already mutated.

Going to buy my supplies tommorrow. Going to be interesting to see if local stores are sold out of masks already.

Here’s an image from #Wuhan’s fourth hospitals’s ER, which shows that all medical staff in ER have been infected by #WuhanCoronovirus and the area is under quarantine. pic.twitter.com/v2VCNFhBT6— William Yang (@WilliamYang120) January 25, 2020

Only seriously immunocompromised people will die from the cold. Maybe not even then.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3275147/

If 3 out of 100 people infected with ‘common cold’ died, we’ wouldn’t have 7B people on the planet.

Spanish Flu had about an 8-10% mortality IIRC.

But truthfully, we don’t have any idea what the mortality of this is. Are there hundreds of people who sniffle and snot for a day or two and then are fine and aren’t reported? Are the chicoms telling us the truth about any of this? Who knows...

I’m waiting to see what happens with the patients in Western countries.

That could indeed be fanfic. At this point the chicoms might be trying to take the emphasis off the biolab in wuhan and implicate someone else. Like Russia. Or the US.

#The Russian Embassy has sent out multiple tweets over the last few days or so saying “Good night, America.” One appears to show a naked body floating in a pool.

We are under attack, and #MidnightMoscowMitch is complicit.

The thing that worries me the most is the Chinese response to this. They could be being abundantly cautious, and after their lying and incompetence during the SARS outbreak of 2003 that makes sense, but these feels a little more than that. This feels like the CCP is much much more worried then the numbers that they have revealed support. Either they have little faith in the local provinces reporting (likely), and/or they know much much more than they are letting on. It’s just so hard to tell anything when all reporting from the ground has to be smuggled over illegal VPN’s and cut and pasted over Weibo.

My gut tells me they are scared, and I dont think the party is scared of much.
