BREAKING: Epicenter of coronavirus outbreak reports 42 new deaths and 1220 new cases

[cloudmountain]

The first numbers = 2% fatalities. That could be from children or old people.
That isn't so bad.
Viruses can be lived through with rest, rest, liquids, rest and a decent diet.

[setter]

The Monte Carlo chart said there would be 11,090 229 deaths by today so it appears to be slowing.

[humblegunner]

Yeah, well gas has dropped six cents.

[dynachrome]

Hubei province where Wuhan is.

[mrsmith]

Russian railroad...

“01/30 22:43 RZD orders notifying companies of stopping cargo shipments with China, but revokes document later (Part 2)”

So they WON’T be stopping freight from China.

[Truthoverpower]

Government Propaganda alert!

Hurry to your local government center and get your injections of poison now kids!

Or else this big scary disease is going to come and get you!

[DannyTN]

If 9171 is correct, then it has passed SARS which had 8422 confirmed cases.

Thanks for the new thread and updates

[aMorePerfectUnion]

There are currently 9,171 confirmed cases worldwide, including 213 fatalities.

Assuming China is releasing accurate numbers, which I doubt.

Of course this virus isn't SARS, and that experience isn't this experience.

But these charts may shed light on the potential progression and path of the disease. These charts cover the number of SARS cases in Hong Kong...

...and the case fatality rate (CFR) over time across three countries.

What is clear, is that the CFR in HK started out very high - very Ebola-like - then comes down and hits a long-run average as the volume of cases rise.

The same "mean-reversion" happened in Canada.

Taiwan's experience is interesting: things were well until an undiagnosed hospital worker (who boarded at the hospital!) spread SARS throughout the hospital wards.

If this current situation is like HK or Canada, then things will get better. If the situation is like Taiwan, they'll get worse.... then even out.

And in other parts of the world:

Millions of #locusts 🦗 have been invading eastern Africa for several days.

They devour crops & threaten food security.

A host of earthquakes, a virus outbreak, forest fires, and now locusts. Probably not time to queue up REM's It's the End of the World"

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[redgolum]

And for some light reading

https://smile.amazon.com/Last-Centurion-John-Ringo-ebook/dp/B00APA1HKC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3Q5XW59YMLTY4&keywords=the+last+centurion+by+john+ringo&qid=1580431996&sprefix=the+last+ce%2Caps%2C445&sr=8-1

First read “The Last Centurion” in about 2010. Remember thinking “Hmm, historically that is about right for an outbreak”.

Ringo put a lot of thought into this book Highly recommended.
