As I’ve said on some other threads, my in-laws in China say that “many” are sick, that the news or their government is reporting almost nothing compared to what they see.
Considering that it is airborne now, apartment air handling is going to be infected in those giant complexes there, driving the numbers very quickly.
Very small number of hospital beds per each city compared to population, combined with the complete lack of private practices there. If you are sick or have any need for medical care, you go to the hospital in China, take a number, and wait. Doesn’t matter if you have a runny nose or a stroke or heart attack.
This has the ability to run over their health system within the next few days.
As for quarantine of cities, EVERY road has gates, with PLA soldiers. When they close a city, it’s closed, period. Business is thankfully shit down there all this week for the holiday, next week too now. Or longer.
I just hope it doesn’t mutate and become more lethal. Most deaths are elderly, but try to imagine losing your parents right now.
Where in China are they?
FR investigative reporting at its finest. Thanks
