More fudged numbers based on the numbers the Chinese Communist Party wants to release - rumor is bodies are being cremated to hide the truth as they did in 1989
How much hospitalization is required to keep the patients from dying?
The Chinese completely denied the beginning of the SARS epidemic that killed many. Then was discovered to have falsified reports.
Several earlier epidemics were traced back to China after the Chinese lied.
Do we now have to believe they quarantine millions in Wuhan but only less than 300 died?
And according to Chinese reports, the mortality has occurred mostly is in people over 60 years old, ie) those with other illnesses and weakened immune systems - and shows typical mortality patterns for other types of flu (albeit normal flu viruses have mortality rates of 0.1-0.2%).
I hope it’s true it has a low mortality rate but I don’t believe the Chinese government.
I’ll believe more about the mortality rate in a week or two after non commie governments start turning in stats. Obviously flu is going to kill some people sadly.
So, 213 people have died, and 171 have recovered...the remainder of the 9000 are still sick. How does one calculate a “low” fatality rate?
I was wondering about the recovery rate. Not all flu like viruses are fatal, in fact, most are not.
I was far more worried a few years back during the Ebola dramas. Somehow, even that did not spread and mushroom in high fatalities inside the United States. Ebola can kill very quickly under certain conditions.
I did updates on the 2014 ebola outbreak on the thread linked below. Reality turned out to be way different than projections. The updates are the last posts on the thread.

Annie Lenox and the Eurythmics sang this song in 1985——
Would I Lie To You?
Would I lie to you?
Would I lie to you honey?
Now would I say something that wasn’t true?
I’m asking you sugar
Would I lie to you?
My friends, know what’s in store.
I won’t be here anymore.
I’ve packed my bags
I’ve cleaned the floor.
Watch me walkin’.
Walkin’ out the door.
Sorry but “Business Insider” is a left wing, anti Trump propaganda site who would readily propagate Chinese government lies. This coronavirus must be really hurting the Chinese economy and is a threat to the Party. BTW how many non genetic Asiatics have contracted and died from this disease. One would think that the Westerners who live and work in Wusan have been exposed and if susceptible would be sick by now. Any documentation that Westerners have the same susceptibility as genetic Chinese? Such information would be very politically incorrect to report.
My guess is that the novel coronavirus will turn out to be a short story. We can hope, anyway.
You know, from the White House. Where Medical Doctors will now be advising the TSA, and foreigners suspected of carrying the virus will NOT BE ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTRY.
Apparently, but not announced by the White House, the CDC's website is saying 23-32% of those hospitalized will go to icu and 11–15% of those hospitalized will die.
I was never aware that Mexico shipped Corona beer to China.
There are currently 11,301 confirmed cases worldwide, including 258 fatalities.

Mainland China: 11,145 cases, 258 fatalities, 1,527 serious, 171 recovered, 15,238 suspected
Region: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau
30 cases
International:
126 cases
Still no CONFIRMED deaths outside of Mainland China.
Experts reveal why it’s causing panic anyway.
Maybe because actions speak louder than words, and if the ChiComs opt to lock down a 100 million of their own people and then shut down interprovincial communication they probably view it as something several magnitudes more serious than acne, whatever the experts maybe saying. And likely they have more knowledge than the “experts”
Chinese doctors tell a different story. The virus is overwhelming the local healthcare industry. So it appears the numbers provided by China are low. We have thousands of deaths every year from flu. And China has hundreds with a population 4 times larger. So you can assume this thing is a magnitude X 4 larger than China is saying.
“Low mortality rate.”
More people are dying from it than recovering from it.
It is a new or novel disease and the media need catastrophes to sell eyeballs....
Except it got boring a few days ago....
Consider this: What if it’s a test virus with a relatively harmless payload? And what if they’re testing to see if it infects specific segments of the population?
How dare you post something that refutes the hysteria we’re currently witnessing! /sarc
