“The patient in Britain apparently contracted the virus after staying at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Singapore and attending a business conference there Jan. 20-22, Buzyn said. There were 94 foreigners in the hotel at the time, including people from Hubei, according to the French minister.”
This is the problem that I have with the numbers. The infected person from Wuhan had to leave that city no later than Jan 19 to be at the Singapore conference the next day. On that day, Jan 19, there were less than 200 reported cases in China.
Wuhan is a city of 11 Million. So one in 55,000 people were reported as having Coronavirus.
So, if 10 people went to that conference from Wuhan (which is very unlikely), the odds of one of them being infected was 1 out of 5,500 - just ‘bad luck’ for the others.
Sorry, not buying it. I’m not necessarily blaming the Chicoms directly here (I don’t need to), I’m saying that the spread of this virus is FAR WORSE than is being reported, whether due to censorship, ‘wokeness’, political correctness, ignorance, normalcy bias, or whatever.
This is scary crap, and, as I mentioned before, all it takes is some 6th grade math to realize this problem is MUCH BIGGER than we’re being told.
Probably a little of everything. But it is harder to hide bodies than to hide or ignore cases. If it has spread 10x more than reported, then the mortality is 10x less than reported except for the hidden mortality. We don't know either number, but from the non-China cases we don't see a lot of mortality yet, but we do see a fair amount of spread.
