Steve’s the man !!!

China’s Statistics for this morning are late - May be release 8 PM EST

[Black Agnes]

Why do you have to go through LAX tomorrow?

[grey_whiskers]

Holy crap. It went up about 100 cases in the last hour ; that means 100 cases/hour —> 2400 cases a day.

Given that it was, what, ~600 cases on Thursday or Friday?

Now they’re cooking with gas...

[grey_whiskers]

Yes.

This was the working link when I posted it yesterday.

The people complaining that a flight ban would wreck the economy have NO IDEA what this virus is going to do to the economy.

We need a list of tweets that will not age well...

Here it is - The following thread regards how we should be planning for the possibility that nCoV cannot be contained (Tweets from J. Hopkins Director)

Here is Dr. Inglesby's list of pandemic do’s and don’ts, including the favorite of authority figures -DON’T grab a gun.

Inglesby: If we all end up in our homes with guns, then nothing will work. We won’t be able to get anything to anyone. You basically would have to imagine scenes of complete lawlessness and a complete breakdown of social order.

My hope and my sense of what the science says is that that is not typically how human beings react in emergencies. There obviously is going to be a wide variety of responses, but I think in general there are going to be a lot more good responses than bad. So I’d say that if we get to that point in a pandemic, things have completely broken down and we have all sorts of [other problems] that I don’t think a gun’s going to help with.

[Vermont Lt]

And in the end, the world will be dominated by Philippinos.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for the link.

This guy is all in.

As for developing vaccines quickly, I’m not convinced that’s doable.

Would be nice, but I’m not sure it’s realistic.

[Jane Long]

Thanks so much.

[dfwgator]

Who is providing those numbers? The Chinese Government?

[Black Agnes]

And North Koreans and Mongolians.

[Jane Long]

Thanks.

[Black Agnes]

“we have all sorts of [other problems] that I don’t think a gun’s going to help with.”

He’s obviously never been the victim of a violent home invasion...

[Black Agnes]

I just realized why they aren’t doing anything to scare travelers.

The Super Bowl.

[Mariner]

The Hong Kong scientists say it will double every 6 days.

I think the actual rate is running a little above that. Maybe every 3-4 days.

But it’s early and the counting is nearly impossible for anybody.

[blueplum]

first flight is supposed to be diplomats/staff and then the high risk/patients. Hopefully we can get two or three more in there for the 700 or so remaining. But it’s all relying on having ground crew avail to refuel and coordinating with the other half dozen nations trying to fly their ppl out, too. China has alternately ok’d and denied. We’re back to ok for now I guess. Sure hope it doesn’t turn into Saigon.

[LilFarmer]

Ok, so regarding the US citizens coming from China. Here is a very good explanation how they will be handled. They will be quarantined, thankfully, and will not go to the main terminal but to a separate hanger where quarantine is set up.

“For those who have been wondering why why the flight from China is ending up at Ontario International Airport. Please watch the video below”

You could have rows for "official" reported cases and deaths, and then rows for each of the unofficial sources that are deemed credible.

This would be very helpful since the marginal changes can provide insights into a variety of the pandemic's dimensions. If similar data for SARS or other airborne pandemics were available, you could plot them side by side, like how Rasmussen plots daily Presisential approval rates for Trump and Obama by days in office.

[Windflier]

Those sailors weren’t anywhere NEAR Wuhan

Read it again:

"The ports at which this ship docked at are located in close proximity to the town of Wuhan..."

[Black Agnes]

And after they leave that hangar...?

Then what?

Home on a connecting flight?

Do they go to church next Sunday? To the soccer game on Saturday? The grocery store and pizza joint Friday evening?

Because that’s not quarantine.

Will *other* people who share their homes/residences be monitored? Because the infected can pass this, asymptomatically to someone else who can then pass it asymptomatically...when they make the run to the local coffee shop...

[Black Agnes]

Answered and done.

I read ‘aren’t’.

Asia and India are screwed even IF they block air travel.
