Also the flu related deaths in the US were highest in the 85+ age group. CV is killing people in ALL age groups, including (apparently healthy) doctors in their 30s.
As of 2/9 7pm EST, actual cases and deaths are significantly overshooting an earlier model predicting doubling every 7 days: Week 15 from Patient Zero: 32,768 vs. 40,128 and 737 vs. 906.
I’m sure. The same will be true for everyone trying to prepare, I’m sure! My son bought a couple cases of canned food and I had to remind him to buy a can opener :-)
True enough.
Which model was this? link please

China finally accepts help in battle against coronavirus — after 35,000 infected
With some 35,000 stricken within its borders and the death-toll spiraling, a desperate China is finally accepting help in battling the coronavirus — after rebuffing offers from the US and others for weeks.
China has agreed to let the World Health Organization form an international team of experts that will travel to the mainland to study the virus and seek solutions, a US embassy spokesman told Reuters on Saturday.
Infectious disease experts from the United States will play a major role.
“These US experts have extensive experience working with the World Health Organization on a range of infectious disease outbreaks and epidemics, including Ebola, avian influenza and SARS,” the spokesman added.

This is fascinating and just horrifying. When his wife says those people will never be seen again...
And we let them manufacture over 80% of our DRUGS.
The one in 20 in my family has serious comorbidities. Thankful for each day.
China took tiny economic hit from an extra week off for their New Years holiday.
It will take significant hit for another week.
Westerners will move their investments and production to more reliable places to do business.
So China has to show irrefutable evidence to the world’s businesses that this is under control.
That’s why WHO is let in now. China has no choice.
I’m very interested to see what production activity is resumed tonight!
There will be a time lag of however long it takes for a ship to leave China, cross the Pacific, and dock.

Of course it’s a lower mortality rate than 2019nCoV, even at 2%.
But when people see a number like 900 dead, it sounds very high. When in reality 13,000 people a month died just a short time ago and no one even noticed. SO it’s posted for some perspective, nothing more.
But if I can find an index that's down 99% or more...
Katy back up the truck: if it only goes back to 10% of what it was, you know..that'd help the old retirement fund, bigly.
Stay terrified. It is useful.
Recall that Cardinal Health had to recall, (hand-waving) a couple million surgical gowns made in China because they weren't sterile...
The Free Traitors..and everyone who EVER worked for McKinsey (who also pushed GE) should be whipped, drawn and quartered, hung, disemboweled, burned at the stake, and then REALLY hurt.
My in laws have been told to stay home and not return to work until further notice - and that’s in Shanghai. Guangdong and Zhejiang also are restricting work dramatically. Shenzhen and Guangzhou are extremely important to their industrial output in that province.
PLAN shipbuilding has been ceased.
The only commercial transport allowed is for food and some fuel.
