Figured we would start numbering the threads.
Some points to keep in mind:
1. This thing is not “just the flu.” 2. 1/10th of the worlds population is in some sort of lockdown. 3. Generally, we don’t buy the Chinese numbers But if anything they are low. 4. Everyone is welcome to post, but don’t bore us with your “you are panicking” posts. They are tedious.
It’s Sunday night and the Walking Dead is back. Let’s talk Coronavirus.
btw, face mask over the n95 is insufficient. Needs to be sealed over the eyes too.
HIV is a BL3, this is a BL4.
Oh look, testing ...
Wish we did that...
Yep.

No hospital has BL4.
But the bunny suits DO have the sealed eye protection.
The visor used for HIV is useless with this.
Waste of money.
Isn’t BL4 where they have their own air supply in the suit?
Ironic.
Has HK closed all the border crossings with mainland china yet?
Last I heard, no.
HKers recovered from this need to riot if not.
WHO chief Tedros says not seeing uncontained global spread or large-scale deaths from coronavirus at the moment - Reuters
WHO chief tedros is an example of the peter principle.
White House could seek $1B for corona virus....just saw on the FoxBiz banner.

“”It is scary stuff. I don’t think it should affect what you do in stocks but in terms of the human race it is scary stuff when you have a pandemic,” says Warren Buffett on #coronavirus.”
You are being pedantic. You are so busy picking apart my answers, you’ve lost track of the discussion. So, let’s just say if this happens in a rural hospital, they do not have the facilities to deal with it.
Why the numbers in Wuhan and Hubei are artificially low, or,:

1. Li said the family had eaten the same combination of white rice, cabbage and peanuts for three weeks... stinting on portions due to limits on the numbers of people from each household allowed out to shop....the family could now only buy food at the gate of their compound....Wuhan... says it will ensure food and other necessities through group orders as supermarkets stopped selling to individuals. Some communities have arranged for vendors to come to the their compounds gates. Hubei has said drugs and other necessities must be delivered to residents...Hundreds of official 24-hour telephone hotlines for psychological support have been launched since the beginning of the outbreak, but many are overwhelmed.
2. “Sealed management will continue so that no one will go outside, but they must still be able to buy their daily necessities,” Wuhan’s newly appointed Communist Party chief, Wang Zhonglin, said last Sunday.... policy depends heavily on residential committees, a network of volunteers who carry out government and Communist Party orders...“These people in the compound, when they get even a little bit of power, they will use all their energy to try to get in your way,” she said.
“It’s like the Stanford prison experiment,” she added...
I wonder if Warren was involved in the Corona virus dry run with Bill Gates?
I’m not picking apart your answers.
I’m stating plainly that only a few hospitals can deal with this without infecting all the medical people, the lab people, the cleaning people and most of the rest of the patients.
And still we aren’t testing...
And in rural hospitals it won’t make a difference if they test. All will get it and have nothing but MAYBE palliative care to handle it.
Probably.
He hates human children (that aren’t his own) just as much as Bill Gates.
Oh I’m sure the CDC is working very hard to design nice flyers and write lengthy papers.
They’re too busy prepping for their own families. Once they’re done they’ll alert the rest of us to any problems. They probably have any antiviral supplies locked up for their own use.
The official release last night (after Trump went wheels up on his way to India) was nothing but grim. Basically ‘peasants, you’re on your own!’.
A lot of the electronics are made in China and pretty much all aftermarket parts are too which is worse. Even the good old brand names have everything made in China now. Raybestos, Wagner, SKF, National etc.
