Steve Lookner about to go live for updates
There are currently 1,764 confirmed cases worldwide, including 54 fatalities.
Doesn’t take long for our own groceriers to clear out for just weather events .....every time....
many people are saying. I just posted an article of someone who has an Aunt there that says you can’t get into the hospital. It’s worthless at this point.
Saw where Wuhan is building a second hospital. It amazes me that it can be done so quickly. And where do they get all of that medical equipment. I guess it can be done when everything is made in china
How will this affect Amazon.com?
will they even let it land? and why would you import 500 potential cases unless you’re prepared to quarantee them?
I don't trust their government, or the data that much but I'll analyze it because it's what we've got. I will also weigh humanity's predeliction to overhype and freak out when it comes to pandemics and scale back the current hysteria accordingly. Throw it all into the blender, and I get a good smoothie vs pickled herring.
Thanks for the challenge.
I still chuckle when it snows..even if it is predicted just an inch.. and people clear the shelves like it is Armageddon. I think of that viral video of the guy going I have to get the bread and milk
Oh yeah, it wasn’t my first adult book, Hound of the Baskervilles or Animal Farm got that, but I was still young enough that it was a great thriller....but then it didn’t seem like it could be real. Today, it seems like it could be...
btw, when these snow events happen you see pictures of cleared out shelves...everything..and I mean everything..but vegan things will still be there.
Are they building a hospital or a cemetery?
Because I think the dead are going to be the major problem for a LONG time
go away
I would imagine they will do fine, unless the container ships stop. And, if they get sick too.
This is how this becomes a bad situation. With everyone on JIT deliveries in the corporate world, things could get nasty quickly.
BREAKING: France also has announced plans to evacuate French citizens from Wuhan, China, Global Times reports
The Ro rate is estimated between 2.5 and higher. At the low end, this is almost Spanish Flu level.
*** will they even let it land? and why would you import 500 potential cases unless you’re prepared to quarantee them? ***
Flights are arriving to US from China. If I was a flight attendant for these airlines I would have already quit.
Right now it takes Target and Walmart one month to restock office Supplies. Still waiting. And that’s through their existing distribution. With no problems lol.
They are nuts to allow any evacuations from Wuhan at all.
In short, I put their government's honesty, concern for the safety of their citizens, and intent to do the right thing up their with Hillary in Benghazi. As such, to what benefit is all of this "transparency" and forced sheltering-in?
I don't doubt there MAY be a bad flu or something. But with their 4Q2019 GDP growth being the lowest in 29 years, if they can blame a bad pandemic vs poor fundamentals for economic weakness, then investors may be inclined to keep funds flowing to PRC.
It was Rahm Emanuel who said you shouldn't let a crisis go to waste. I simply think the Chinese govt is following Rahm's advice.
I am not a statistical type of gal. Dont even know why I took it in college.
But it seems to me that the rate has been skewed by the fact that they gathered 10k people together to eat to break a world record after cases had been diagnosed. I dont have a link. everything i look at that talks about it is behind a paywall
