No official pandemic until those bonds mature.
Early April, right?
Speculation was once Chinese workers returned to Africa, they’d start getting hit.
But how are our hospitals holding up so far?
I haven’t heard anything about ICU horror stories so far.
That’s giving me hope. Such as it is.
I need to go look up D3 levels for Africans (if such a thing exists in pubmed)...
Didn’t someone mention they weren’t really affected like the rest of the world in the 1918 pandemic?
Xi made the opposite mistake our folks make.
He wore the bio suit and wants the people to come out and play.
Our folks say this is serious so use social distancing, and then stand next to each other.
It is funny, really. They both get F- communication scores!
To use a harry potter term, this virus makes a great sorting hat for governments.
"There’s no reason to think that China would somehow know exactly where Covid started when SARS is still something of a mystery."
Well done!

So far, so good on the hospitals.
We will keep a close eye on it—you know where I think it is going...
interesting. so they’re sending Italy the equipment and PPEs the world sent them? But they were in such neeed!
How many ICU beds has Italy? A source I saw said US had the most per capita.
“AHA data: According to the AHA 2015 annual survey, the United States had 4862 acute care registered hospitals; 2814 of these had at least 10 acute care beds and at least 1 ICU bed. These hospitals had a total of 540,668 staffed beds and 94,837 ICU beds (14.3% ICU beds/total beds) in 5229 ICUs. There were 46,490 medical-surgical beds in 2644 units, 14,731 cardiac beds in 976 units, 6588 other beds in 379 units, 4698 pediatric beds in 307 units, and 22,330 neonatal beds in 920 units. The median number of beds in medical-surgical, cardiac, and other units was 12, with 10 beds in pediatrics and 18 in neonatal. Fifty-two percent of hospitals had 1 unit, 24% had 2 units, and 24% had 3 or more units.”

All I can find now, but pretty impressive
Italy got overwhelmed because of their large Chinese worker enclave. We may not.
I have to work.
Thankfully, I work at home. I can’t be on the thread all day, much as I would like to!
We are two weeks behind Italy according to this forecast.

AIE.
There was a story from Virginia (IIRC) where a family who owned a german shepherd came home and found a broken window and the house full of what looked to be arterial blood spurts up the walls and on the ceilings.
No burglar found though.
Dog was like ‘guess what happened while you were gone!?’
This is gonna hit quick—so we will know in a couple of weeks where we are..
