“I haven’t seen you communicating the urgency of planning at a national/global level, for the possibility that this cannot be contained”

I’ve seen her say it will not be contained and the disease will run it’s course, whatever it may be.

Of course, by now, we all should know that.

Terrifying. Here's a chart estimating and comparing daily *reported cases of SARS, Ebola, and #coronavirus...

Graph source = WHO

[grey_whiskers]

IIRC The Lancet was quoting 2.5, and included 95% confidence interval bars on it, so more than just a wild-assed guess...even if "garbage in, garbage out."

[Mariner]

“Having the plan and expecting everyone to have read it, and the ability to execute are different things.”

When there’s 1,500 sick people in the parking lot of every hospital and 200 in the lobby, nobody will even think of “the plan”.

Many will not go to work.

[MarMema]

Wow. I’ve been following him but missed the Spanish flu Ro. I am surprised.

[grey_whiskers]

I’ve seen her say it will not be contained and the disease will run it’s course, whatever it may be.

OK. I have seen graphs which show a 99% decrease in human contact will only slow the spread of the disease by (I think) 1/3.

So, yeah, I guess...

(shakes head, starts mumbling distractedly to self.)

Kobe is wall-to-wall on FOX. Only the crawler underneath tells the tale.

[MarMema]

He’s my favorite. I love him.

[MarMema]

Bravo. I love you. Remember this? - experts built the Titanic and amateurs built the Ark.

Russia, ME, Africa … where are the reports?

Lot of China travel to the areas, but only seen one suspected case, in Russia.
Most curious aspect of the outbreak IMHO.

[MarMema]

No. Measles is much higher. About 14 per the epis.

[grey_whiskers]

Look around.

Suspected carriers in New York, Chicago, Virginia, St. Paul, Arizona, Orange County.

(Hint: health officials are attempting contract tracing. When was the last time you heard of *that*?)

“Many will not go to work.”

That is for ALL types of workers. Fearful of going into work (the police station, fire department, electrical company) where they might get it from their co-worker.

Or staying home to care for someone sick in their family. Etc.

There is only so long a community can continue if nobody shows up for work.

The videos of the deserted streets in China are really spooky. 8 lanes of road - 2 cars. “Boy - they must really have to be driving. Huge fines, and possibly lose their license if they are caught driving. Oh - they are turning into the hospital.”

[MarMema]

Thank you.

UPDATE: Results negative for Texas A&M student tested for coronavirus:

No doubt. The EMT paramedics who transported the Canada case did not know he’d tested positive for the virus until they heard it on the news! Health departments must do right by these front line workers.

[Jan_Sobieski]

If you called any man in the Bible that word to his face, you might be surprised at the response.

That said, My 9 unvaccinated kids are the epitome of health. We pray for everything, mostly about health and faith. God protects and God heals. I don’t have a problem with most of our medical system. We use it from time to time. However in this area (vaccinations) where aborted tissue is used and leaders have been caught on tape admitting that population can be controlled by vaccinations, I simply do not trust our medical system or our government with my children’s health. How did our ancestors survive?

Government coerced vaccinations are perhaps the most egregious example of big government overreach. Abrogating parents rights because the “government” knows better than God-fearing parents. By siding with them, you are are totalitarian. Honestly, you deserve the socialism/globalism that is coming.

Like the Christians who survived the Soviet Union, we will make it with God’s help. What will become of you?

[independentmind]

The reports coming out of Wuhan say that all of the gas stations have been shut down. Also there have been many road closures.

That may be why you are seeing no cars on the road.

[MarMema]

I’ve been curious about cross reacrtivity...

Also read that a group experienced in mRna vaccines is working with NIH on one for Wuhan. Which part of the virus do you think they will target, and is it possible to make a polyclonal/polyvalent vaccine?

[mrsmith]

"Look around?"
WTF?

Found one report from Russia, as I said.
The significance is that the cases should be found there, and aren't. Likely leading to a secondary pool for the virus. Yeah, governments could be hiding cases- up to a point.
