Yet they’re going to build 4 more hospitals.


they are not hospitals!!!!!

they are quarantine camps - sealed camps. door only opens inward no medicines no doctors no nurses ramen through one way slots, 1000 beds feet apart no partitions no privacy, no toilets heavily guarded.

Sorry if this has already been posted:

Wuhan woman with no symptoms infects five relatives with coronavirus

The case study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, offered clues about how the coronavirus is spreading, and suggested why it may be difficult to stop.

Singapore seems to have a high number of recovered patients. Any word on what they’re using to treat the virus?

Not sure but I hope they will provide detail soon. They have one of the best, if not the best healthcare in the world, apparently. It looks like they were well prepared, jumped on contact tracing and testing early, and their system has not been overwhelmed yet.

Countries that aren’t doing as well are ones that are running around trying to play catch up. Proactive not reactive is what will differentiate countries IMO

I Forgot exactly what but China was doing something odd with the wastewater systems...something like testing for the virus downstream maybe...I don’t recall...


All sewage and water treatment processes remove or destroy viruses. Some treatment methods are better than others, but none is likely to remove all of the viruses present in sewage or in raw water.

Less then 500 I believe

major issues with the test kits quality...I don’t understand this...are the test kits made by different companies? Why would only ours be defective?


The CDC wanted to start testing people with flu like symptoms that tested negative for the flu in the larger cities but that has been delayed..

source: Lookner


Besides a handfull sent to the CDC I believe that there have been no test results from Hawaii and the close contacts with the Chinese tourists...same issue..defective or damaged kits

Of course, being transported thousands of miles, there’s no chance of lost in transit samples or a broken vial.

“Total tested 414”

That is not good a good number at all. You would have thought that thousands would have been tested by now.

Does the CDC have their head in the sand?

drinking water transmission

Thanks - another possible transmission vector. don’t drink tap water - many bottled waters come from some city’s water supply - Chicago a big supplier of various bottled water labels.

might pay to install reverse osmosis and other expensive water treatments that remove everything

for example - Milwaukee gets its water from lake Michigan but it also returns treated waste water back to the lake, except when heavy rains and then raw sewage is dumped due to poor design. The treated water reaches homes at 650 ppm - that is particulate matter - heavy metals pesticides other chemicals remain VIRUSES? unknown or maybe effective against natural virus but against covid-19 is unknown.

if you install the common resin salt treatment plant then the 650 ppm goes down to 8 ppm or so very effective - but all the other stuff remains. So you’d have to install something else to get the rest and then you’d have to rely on the manufactures claims for effectiveness

I don’t think they(CDC) are counting the cruise ship people even though they tested negative on the cruise ship but then positive here...also i have no idea where BNO is counting the positive Americans that fly back on the plane..as cruise ship cases I assume

but also I think it is now 16 without the cruise ship

Unreal. Meanwhile other countries are testing in the thousands. Unacceptable. Potentially criminal.
