I believe both of the deaths outside China, had travelled to China prior to catching the disease.
I am not sure whether the disease as spread in China has a higher fatality rate, or whether there are just not that many cases yet, externally.
I am sure the way it continues to grow, that will become evident quite quickly.
6.6 percent. Hong Kong is a densely populated region but also the most open in terms of MSM and internet news access. If the disease really gets going there, we’ll start to get a real sense of what the disease is capable of as opposed to the confused disjointed snippets of digital clips that people have managed to get past the sensors from Wuhan.
Hyundai Motor said it would gradually suspend production at its South Korean factories
China's markets $400 billion in market value from Shanghai's benchmark index
The total number of infections in mainland China rose by 3,235 to 20,438
China accused the United States on Monday of scaremongering and said on Tuesday it would welcome its help to fight the outbreak.
Seems to be getting kinda serious over there, and this thing is just getting started.
Is there a profile of the victims who have died Someone told me that everyone who dies was over the age of 60. Has that been verified?
There is a lot of corruption in China (as in most nations).
As I understand it a lot of China’s economy is smoke and mirrors. That is those on top of the pyramid scheme are skimming money from the economy and then cooking the books so it appears everything is normal.
The Trade War with the US has had to hurt China.
Now with this virus and more importantly (in their view) the shut down of large cities, the economy is going to take a hit.
So the question is... can China survive with out a major depression?
Then the question become can the Chinese rulers survive.
Many Chinese have seen a better life with capitalism, are they willing to go back to full fledged communism?
In China, most public bathrooms have neither toilet paper nor soap - because people would just say “Free toilet paper!”.
I knew an American woman, with salary over $100,000 in 1980, who also did this (took all the rolls of toilet paper in whatever hotel she was staying in). However, in China, this is the norm.
Also, in China, the wet markets (not seafood market) are what we would call open-air butcher shops. Any and every meat can be had at the market, raw, cooked, in a stew. The floors are running with blood, and washed with water once a day (no bleach). Hence, wet market.
