A forever thread is getting long. Perhaps a weekly thread?

Meanwhile, without ANY tests we can’t do ANY sort of cluster/contact tracing of known cases.

Which means by the time we DO get testing underway there might be tens of THOUSANDS of cases. At which point contact tracing becomes moot.

And everyone demands a vaccine.

cui bono.

An epidemic of this, in the US, is a quick way to single payer healthcare.

Pronto.

Will bankrupt insurance companies.

Which is based on a 1-1.5 year old strain before how many mutations and is likely to kill as it is to cure

So, 10% of humanity is dead.

Economy is crashed.

Does anyone think Bolsheviks would mind killing 10% of humanity to establish control?

I don’t.

Panic buying is happening in Italy, shelves are emptying and large crowds at the supermarket now.

The time to prep is NOW folks, well, weeks ago but if you haven’t yet, I urge everyone to do it now.

Last week, there were “no cases” in Italy, which only means there was silent spreading there. People were going to work, eating out, sending kids to school, etc. Just like we are today. Literally, within days they went from no cases to an explosion of cases and lockdown of a few million within a day. That can happen to any city in the US tomorrow.

I am just trying to convince my sister and brothers. We put up a storage shelf in the spare bedroom to hold the extra food.

Italy has vast numbers of Chinese workers who are allowed in to produce those "Made in Italy" products - the same way we allow (often-illegal) Mexican workers in to produce "Made in the USA" products. Some companies even make garments and leather goods on cargo ships anchored offshore using all-Chinese workforces who can't legally enter the country, but can still produce "Made in Italy" products.

There are many, many possible Wuhan connections among Italy's immigrant workforce.

Today’s video with with Dr. John Campbell. His message is to the WHO- time to call this a pandemic, and his concern about the numbers of “severe” cases and how that will impact hospitals and healthcare.

I encourage everyone to watch him- you can go back weeks to learn more about what the virus is, how it impacts the system, etc. He’s terrific.

Carnival, in Brazil, starts tomorrow (I think) and Mardi Gras, in New Orleans, starts 25 Feb. Major crowds at both of those multi-day events.

I saw that. There are some pretty gut wrenching videos of Wuhan that are getting pulled as fast as they are posted. Some are coming out of what has happened to some of the families barricaded in. I don’t recommend searching for that. I won’t be able to sleep for a while.

Just making rounds today discussing this with the team(s) involved.

Long before the insurance companies are bankrupt (and, pro tip to GOP: they can’t survive in present form anyway) the first crisis will be: How many patients who do not need hospitalization will be isolated in hospitals for maximum containment before we go to isolation tents in warm weather locations?

Most hospitals don’t have seven days cash on hand. Right now, they are thinking of this as a minor annoyance, like getting a few more Medicaid patients.

Tell a hospital administrator that joint replacements and cardiac caths are going to be delayed, and watch shit get real.

The easiest target administratively to nationalize are the hospitals. The hardest nut to crack will be the “payers”, because they have spent the last twenty years taking control of the political process.

We are in for one hell of a ride.

thanks FRiend :)

speaking of logistics, I’ve been following this fella since he slid thru US Customs Feb 4. They did self-quarantine for 14 days and now another almost 7. He shows the new ‘QR codes on the phone’ system that is being used in China or at least Ningbo (Zhejiang province) to track people and act as a hallpass to move around the city. Another app that shows how far away from your location a red QR is. Start at 4:30 min and it runs until abt 12:30 min. Includes a training clip of a resistant driver being butterflynetted. note yellow code includes those that have confirmed cases in the same building.

(just by the by, husbands of Chinese wives are in china on a spouse visit visa, so he’s not saying everything he could because Big Brother CCP can revoke that visa at any time)
