The ones that don’t work are the export models.

So instead of getting answers they portray a seeming contradiction in order to increase fear.

Why not? Some people easily fall for it.

Excerpt:
“As of this week, two-thirds of the Chinese economy remains shut down. More than 80 per cent of its manufacturing industry is closed, rising to 90 per cent for exporters.”

Infectious disease ping.

The other possibility is that China is making a bunch of kits and they are sitting in a warehouse somewhere or have been sent to Beijing to protect government officials. So Wuhan still has shortages. Or the PLA “lost” a bunch of them and they ended up at PLA headquarters to project generals.

In a communist government, those are perfectly credible explanations for the Wuhan shortage amidst amped up production.

Kind of like the Puerto Rico hurricane supplies that ended up in warehouses all over Puerto Rico, causing shortages of supplies where they were needed.

Has anyone other than an Asian been diagnosed with the virus?

Didn't see that coming!

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.

The factoid that shocked me was that in one city a crematorium was handling over 100 bodies a day and working 24/7 because of the outbreak. If you multiply that by just a few large cities and figure even half the bodies are not due to the virus, then it has to be well over 400 deaths so far.
