There are currently 40,221 confirmed cases worldwide, including 904fatalities.
Lol...
Anyone have a good link for Long Beach and other West coast port inbound shipping activity? Have seen such in the past used in the context of business activity. Looking for a big drop. Or not.
This is not the flu.
You don’t shut down 400,000,000 people and literally chain many of them in their homes for the flu.
We need to stop comparing this to the common flu.
Not sure how their shipping slows down each year for the holiday- a year to year comparison would be interesting. Especially going forward, as normally the factories have all resumed operation one week after Spring Festival.
Hospitals are having meetings on this. But as they say, plans fall apart on first contact. Unless you are in Washington State and you have robots. Ha ha.
Look what I just found:

The Baltic Dry Index is low. Shipping is getting ruined.
One of the wealthiest men in China stated on video that “50,000 Chinese have been cremated and a million suspected cases of Coronavirus.” He would obviously have a vested interest in keeping things quiet, yet didn’t. I find that fact very concerning...

Forget it Jake, it’s Troll town.
POLB inbounds off by 50,000 - Feb and Mar will really tell the story - thanks for the link!
I’m just posting the numbers. Almost 80,000 people died in about 6 months. That’s over 13,000/month.
SO, even if the number of deaths for 2019nCoV are 10 times what is being reported, it’s still lower than the number of flu deaths in 2017-2018.
If you put lamb’s blood on your doorpost you will be fine.
I believe the important part of the comparison is the numbers.
If we take the worst numbers folks can think of now, and compare them to the flu, it more or less confirms that life goes on even when those sorts of numbers (generally not quite this high) are experienced year after year and taken in stride.

One of the things I always find interesting about these situations, is that some folks always trash seemingly good information, and absolutely believe any bad information.
Many times that bad information is hardly more than a rumor.
“I’m just posting the numbers.”
You should post more, like the actual context:
“Recent news reports have shown a CDC estimate of 80,000 total flu deaths in the U.S. in the past year, based on a different method of statistical analysis that tries to assess where flu may have been a factor in a person’s death even if it isn’t listed on a death certificate.”
https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2018/older-flu-deaths-rising.html
80,000 out of over 15,000,000 cases for flu, far lower mortality.
You’re cherry picking your numbers.
Hundreds of people at French ski resort are tested for coronavirus after coming into contact with British ‘super spreader’ family - amid fears disease is MORE contagious than first thought
Bob Saynor, 48, and his son, nine, are at the centre of the outbreak in the Alps
The father and son are both being treated in hospital in France for coronavirus
Hundreds of people in the town of Les Contamines-Montjoie have been tested

Thanks, that’ll be a good one to keep an eye on going forward, along with the Baltic Dry Index (worldwide).
A pandemic virus such as the wuflu can not be at this time prevented nor cured. Given that and it's rate of infection nearing 85% this coronavirus could in effect infect entire nation's populace.
Now do you want to assume that the 2% mortality rate persists? Do you want to assume that the numbers are authentic now?
This very well could be the virus that taxes even the USA’s ability to treat mass infections.
So enough with the common flu nonsense here on Free Republic.
