Two hundred prisoners and seven prison wardens tested positive for the virus as of Feb. 20 at Rencheng prison in eastern China’s Shandong Province, reported news portal Sina on Feb. 21, after tests were conducted on 2,077 people relating to the prison.

The testing came after one of the prison wardens was isolated after going to a local hospital over a cough on Feb. 12. The warden tested positive for the virus on the following day. On that same day, another warden also tested positive for the virus.

At central China’s Hubei province, the epicenter of the outbreak, the provincial government announced on its official website on Friday afternoon that there are 271 confirmed cases in the province’s prisons, including 230 in a women’s prison in the province’s capital of Wuhan.

There are also 41 cases at Sha Yanghan prison in Hubei.

Hundreds of Chinese Prisoners Did Not Kill Themselves.

If the Chinese could completely hide it, they would be performing mass executions right now.

11 Officials Sacked.....

As in 'body bags'?............................

[Red Badger]

It will spread like a wildfire in the prisons...................

Prisons for low social credit dissidents, or for actual criminals?

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.

Wait till all those transplanted organs get into people.

What makes you think they aren't?

That's why they moved 40 industrial incinerators to Hubei, they're planning on have a LOT of "dead animals" and "medical waste" that need permanent disposal.

Did you think "Never let a good crisis go to waste" was a meaningless catch phrase?

Opportunities like this are exactly what Rahm Emanuel had in mind!

[caww]

Likely true..’if’ they could hide it....

[Jane Long]

😱😱

[caww]

Can you imagine if they put all prisoners on lock down?

The Chinese character for crisis consists of two radicals, “dangerous” and “opportunity”.

[Red Badger]

That would compound the matter.

They need to be in fresh air...................

[Cold Heart]

Also, there is an increase in Christian persecution in China at this time.

[dangus]

So the Chinese reveal incompetence that led to hundreds of Coronavirus cases in a prison... but are covering up tens of thousands of incinerator-choking deaths in Wuhan... I don’t think so.

[caww]

It’s China nothing is ever what it seems.

CDC Warns Coronavirus Coming To US, Will Be "Tremendous Public Health Threat"

Update (1240ET): As we mentioned below, the CDC had some pretty chilling words for the American public during a press conference on Friday. During the 12:15pm ET update, the organization warned that it had centralized 'surge' virus response due to a lack of testing kits and the fact that every state but three is unprepared for the epidemic.

During the press conference, the CDC described the virus as a "tremendous public healht threat" and warned that human to human transmission in the US is "very possible, even likely."

Yet to the House and most Dems this is no reason whatsover to enforce border checks and detention in the event of infectious disease possibility or the normal drugs, weapons, explosives, gangs/jihaadis.

Its about electoral redistribution, gotta spread that voting power around.

Well from what I’ve seen thus far the US has a pretty tight system to deal with the Coronavirus....although that of course doesn’t mean people will be co-operative. So far I think it’s being handled as well as possible considering it is a virus which never plays by our rules.
