“This is the time to open up your pandemic plans and see that things are in order,” Dr. Anne Schuchat, a top official of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, urged hospitals last week

Comment - no ma’am, the time for this was the day they quarantined 53 million Chinese. That should have been your first clue.

Now hospitals and drs office will be playing catch-up, as cases show up and they don’t know anything other than the flu is going around yet. Just like England, just like S. Korea, etc.

I think it’s hard for us to even consider the viewpoint of China’s leaders. Very different concerns and aims than ‘free’ Western governments.

Some trade rumors/tidbits you may find interesting:

What struck me is Chinese “prices up sharply”.

We should not be dealing with 10,000 plus self quaratines scattered throughout our country. They are also throughout Central and Southern America. That is our end.

That is something we must always have in the back of our minds when dealing with any foreign powers, including our so- called allies. - Tom

I work in a hospital and know that $40K for masks, gloves and hand sanitizers won’t go far. Costs for those items is not cheap, and obviously not reusable.

We’re as ready as we can be- in such a dynamic situation it’s tricky to pin down possibilities, but you plan for a few.

There’s a reason you have to go to the archive for that paper — it was withdrawn by the authors.

U.S. citizens should reconsider travel by cruise ship to/in East Asia and the Asia-Pacific Region. To prevent the spread of the novel #coronavirus that causes COVID-19, many countries are implementing strict screening procedures. For more information see: http://ow.ly/pt3450yrVPw

Actually, this season isn’t so mild. 0.1% mortality for influenza is in the normal range. The 6.8 number is the number of infected people, 6.8 Million. Anything over 7.3M (at the same time) in the USA is considered epidemic level according to the CDC.

Problems with CDC coronavirus test delay expanded U.S. screening
The delay could impede the U.S. government’s ability to detect scattered cases before they snowball into larger outbreaks.

The Fuxing Hospital is Fuxed. Failed to implement proper precautions? Failed to properly screen patients? You would expect them to be using maximum caution at this point.
