A CDC official told the daughter of one of the American couples that it was likely in the air on the ship, circulating. I posted the interview sometime last week.

This whole CDC and WHO debacle reminds me of the scene in the movie Idiocracy especially with this health test and the Dr. is probably smarter than these at the heads of these organizations here. Makes one shudder.

I remember you did, and I don’t disagree with you or this person.

I don’t know what is going on, on the ship, so I gave more possibilities.

Virus games are going viral as the coronavirus spreads

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2020/02/16/virus-games-are-going-viral-coronavirus-spreads/

“The popularity of games centered on the proliferation of pathogens has surged in recent weeks.

“As officials and experts worked to stem the global spread of the novel coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China, and has left more than 1,500 people dead, gamers have turned their attention to parallel, imaginary struggles.

“Foremost among them: Plague Inc., a strategy game that rose to the top of Apple Store charts in China, the United States, and elsewhere as coronavirus fears mounted. First released by U.K.-based studio Ndemic Creations in 2012, the game, of which there are a handful of variants, asks players to take the part of a pathogen, helping it evolve to wipe out humanity.”

As I understand it, no pediatric fatalities at this point.

Incorrect. Just a few days ago there were videos of 3 children being loaded into the same body bag in a Chinese hospital passage.

Oh ok, I wasn’t sure if y’all had heard it. I agree with you it could be a number of things.

Interesting article from ‘12

Tech companies won’t recover quickly from this if China is indeed shut down for more than a cpl weeks.

No it’s accurate. Most of the fatalities “transition” to a “Schrodingers” state after a day or two and can be removed from the list. Their whereabouts are oddly unaccounted for but remote security cameras at the morgues capture the activity daily.

If they’re not observed they don’t collapse into either category.

And consider a variation on an old aphorism...
“If you owe 10 products to a buyer, you’re in trouble.
If you owe 10,000 products to a buyer they’re in trouble.”
(Or something like that)
We’ll see China using this in ways we can never imagine. Tricky, dirty ways.

I saw a vid on Twitter of a guy in China walking around his “community.” At one point he said that he thinks the total deaths is likely to be >100,000.

Wouldn’t you know, I can’t find that vid now, but I’ll keep looking.

never mind circuit boards - there will be more basic issues to deal with:

Yes, in another thread I commented that finished vs. ingredients amounts to the same thing, at least in the short term.
