Very interesting read from an American doctor:

Daily Beast reporting North Korea in full blown outbreak. One clue cited was the cancellation of a military parade in Pyongyang celebrating the 72nd anniversary of their Army.

You really should add:

“According to Chinese Communist Party official sources”

It’s been pretty well established the case fatality rate is much, much higher than 2%. Until we have more cases in the civilized world, we won’t know.

The death to “serious” ratio, looking back a few days is approaching 20%.

Don’t know if you’re joking, but it would take a pretty substantial additional insertion of HIV RNA or other necrotizing genetic material into coronavirus to cause that.

Cytokine storm would explain the people, young-middle age, dropping in the street in Wuhan and Hong Kong

I’m only joking to the extent of equating it with the first of the seven last plagues. Im honestly concerned as to how long this will go on, because it should have been mostly run its course by now.

With all the variability in cases and deaths reported, no one really knows what the true numbers are, and I would not trust anything the Chicoms report.

Early on N. Korea closed their border with China, stopping all tourist buses. Even though it meant a significant drop in $$ from the tourists. Obviously N. Koreans are presently undernourished. Many in weakened state. This Coronavirus will go through them like Schwarzkopf went through Kuwait City.

Wow. I bookmarked that to share with folks.

I am curious if we think our government will be much better when the time comes? And what is going to happen when the PLA gets sick?

In “The Stand” the government sees the disease getting out of hand, so it is released throughout the world. I wouldn’t put this past any government.

Not picking a fight, but where are you getting the 2% number. The Chicoms are reporting about 2.17%.

“Cases are at least 10 times higher than the current 31,000 being reported”

So, if 310,000 cases then at 2% case fatality rate = 6,200 deaths. Or at the current 40,000 cases, it would be 400,000 cases, then at 2% = 8,000 deaths.

Yet at the bottom of the article someone totally refutes what has been written-for the most part. Update 3. So who do we believe? Interesting/informative article nonetheless.
