A nurse wearing a protective suit and face mask treating the sick in Wuhan has claimed that 90,000 people have already been infected by the coronavirus in China far more than the figure of just 1,975 issued by government officials.
Her warning from the heart of the outbreak emerged as the Chinese government faced accusations of censoring criticism of its handling of the disease in order to play down the crisis.
The outbreak of the new virus originated in China, where it has infected more than 1,970 people and killed 56, and has spread worldwide.
Speaking in video footage seen online, the unnamed woman says: Im in the area where the coronavirus started. Im here to tell the truth. At this moment, Hubei province, including Wuhan area, even China, 90,000 people have been infected by coronavirus.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, saying the country is facing a grave situation, held a politburo meeting on measures to fight the outbreak, state television reported on Saturday.
The country is facing a 'grave situation' where the coronavirus is accelerating its spread, Xi told the meeting, which took place on the Lunar New Year public holiday.
Despite China being initially praised for its transparency in managing the situation, critics have now claimed that officials are scrubbing the internet of videos that reveal the true situation.
However, the nurses report has been viewed almost two million times on YouTube. In the footage, she warns people not to go outside and to refrain from celebrating the Chinese New Year.
She said: I would like to say that everyone who is currently watching this video should not go outside. Dont party. Do not eat out. Once a year, we celebrate Chinese New Year. If you are safe now, you will be able to meet your family again

Thanx.
If that figure (90k) is credible Niman would have tweeted it
How would he know the number of dead in China?
Does he speak Chinese?
Does he have access to Chinese medical records in the quarantined cities?
He only knows what the media reports of what is happening in China.
No, it makes the number absurd.
People in other countries with the disease are being treated successfully.
If you give medication that works, the mortality rate would go down.

Post 32 does not in any way conflict with what I posted.
Wuhan is the epicenter, but the disease is not confined to that province. Wuhan also hosts eleven million. Four an a half million would be about forty one percent of the population.
People in China are being treated successfully too. These numbers represent two people dying out of a hundred. 98 percent recovery rate is still being treated successfully.
You realize there are people on this thread who think that the mortality rate is 10 times what you’re saying.?
btw - the latest mortality rate is estimated about 3%.
Those are 2 other possibilities .
Americans will just have to experience this for themselves to see what happens when hospitals, clinic etc are overwhelmed - we will know in a week or so when the incubation period ends for the returned
It’s grown a little more lethal.
That’s because they look at the number of dead and divorce that from the number who caught the disease.
The quarantined area is more than just wusan and includes 55 million people.
People in China are being treated successfully too. These numbers represent two people dying out of a hundred. 98 percent recovery rate is still being treated successfully.
People are disregarding the real possibility that the mortality rate in Wuhan could be much higher than anywhere else because it is the epicenter & they were slow to address the situation and people aren’t getting the care they would in other countries.
So, in other countries, it may never be any more deadly than the current flu season cases.
“What is the price of lies?”
and divorce that from the number who caught the disease.
was there a waiting period of was it muslin style saying I divorce you 3X?
It’s not denial. It’s logic & reason.
I’m sorry those concepts are beyond you at this time.
Read all the articles. From the beginning in has been reported that the disease had a two percent mortality rate. The inverse of two percent mortality is ninety eight percent survival rate.
