The other line of thought is that they were developing an asian specific weapon that they’d vaccinate their own population against and use it to soften up taiwan, japan and HK.
Lots of theories out there.
I still don’t think white people are immune and ‘death proof’ in the event our medical care become overrun.
missed the timing to make a new thread..
but....
Hubei added a new category “clinically diagnosed case”
4890 new clinically diagnosed cases were added, and 10,567 existing clinically diagnosed cases;
and many are saying they that they aren’t counting conformed cases unless the person is showing symptoms
The developments on the Diamond Princess may give us a really good look (at the sacrifice of the people on this ship, who seem to be getting infected FROM being on this ship at this point). The terrifying stat is that 4 of the original group (presumably, as something like 120 more were just identified as positive in the last few days) - are in the ICU. That is a terrible, terrible stat. So the 20% => severe cases may end up fleshing out in this group, just like in Wuhan. That would bode really poorly for the US health care system.
No American news outlet I’ve seen has even reported about the people in the ICU. Don’t they read the Japan Times??
It’s a really important stat, why it’s buried is mind boggling.
