They’re lying to prevent their economy from collapsing and the government thereafter. Boarding people up in their homes and crematoriums running night and day. It’s a massive coverup effort.
Likely this was a bioweapon that escaped from their lab and they are refusing to let the CDC or WHO in to investigate the cause. This endangers the entire planet and when Senator Cotton asked some simple questions he was attacked by the Washington Post from spreading “conspiracy theories.”
They need to be rid of about a quarter billion of their people, but failed to account for modern mobility (even in a dictatorship like China) spreading it beyond the desired bounds.
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.
Finally the markets have noticed... Now people in power will start taking this seriously.
Uh, well, yaaah...
It’s almost as if the Wuhan crematoria running 24/7 a couple of weeks ago had absolutely something to do with the outbreak; almost as if all the suppression of negative light had bearing on the scope and scale. Imagine, now, if you will, that the coronavirus isn’t under any kind of constraint, precisely because single party state politicians are “handling” it...
...and as summer hits North America, after a long delay of ineffective measures internationally, coronavirus arrives in the US in a big way... now imagine you have a portfolio... do you really still want to own stock in companies with theme parks, amusement parts, fast food restaurants, other restaurants, theaters, pretty much any place where contagions would tend to congregate?
[snip] Dillon said that while he and colleagues were “not understating the human tragedy,” it was important for investors to have perspective about the scale of the coronavirus. “Last year, 42 million people contracted the flu and 61,000 died” in the U.S. alone, he said. [/snip] — Philip van Doorn, MarketWatch, “Here are the worst-performing stocks Monday as investors panic over the coronavirus”, February 24, 2020
... and that’s ‘just the flu’, something for which there are always things in place, hell, the flu vaccine (which is a blend of best-guesses on which strain you’ll come across) is FREE to most in the US, and happens every year, and 61,000 represents one in 5000 Americans (I live out here in The Boonies, and even my little town has 3000 or more people in it).
Excellent.
Drop in the Bucket with 1.5 Billion people
RUSH HOUR AFTER

Pretty interesting article about how COVID19 could slip through the net as a pneumonia diagnosis.
There is overwhelming evidence pointing to an initial cover-up by the local Hubei provincial and Wuhan city officials along with some national health officials early last month.
Chinese leaders including President Xi Jinping knew about the outbreak almost two weeks earlier than previously reported, raising intriguing questions about why it took them so long to warn the public about the severity of the outbreak.
In the week before Beijings declaration of all-out war against the epidemic on January 23, life was normal in Wuhan with large-scale public gatherings and activities, even when hospitals in the city were crowded with patients showing symptoms.
Wow. I was in the Beijing train station once. It makes Grand Central look like a hick farmtown stop.
Likewise, the reports from North Korea (0) and Russia (2). Color me skeptical.
Finally the markets have noticed... Now people in power will start taking this seriously.
Two of the 40 “industrial incinerators” brought to Wuhan have already broken due to overuse.
Has anyone been able to access the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus map lately? At first I got a message that the website couldn’t be accessed and now I get a map “that hasn’t been configured”. TIA
According to that chart, the US is at about 2.5 per 1,000, not appreciably better than China’s 1.8. If we were at 3.5, that’d be different. Oh, and we’re losing docs due to Obamacare.
We’re definitely better off than the average Chinese citizen, to be sure, but a lot of that is because we smoke a lot less, have less pollution (both factors affecting the lungs, which are the chief target of this disease), have better nutrition and have more education than the Chinese, on average. However, if our system gets overwhelmed with this thing, we won’t be much better off.
