Per Johns Hopkins, the China infections on 2/20 were 75K and today 3/7 they are at 80K. If these numbers are anywhere near correct the spread in China is close to contained, certainly not exponential growth. China has had plenty of time to manufacture test kits so I’m guessing that it’s not due to lack of testing. Coronavirus is a flue-like virus and keep in mind that flue season will be ending soon. Be aware-yes, be vigilant-yes but don’t panic. Of course buying more ammo is always a sound precaution.
Agreed. As long as they are telling the truth. It also implies that finding all the unreported infected is largely what got them from where they began to stabilize at 35-40% down to around 6%, rather than the 6% going down when they find the masses of unreported.
Regardless, basic planning is good. Panic can be more harmful than a moderate disaster. We saw it with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the Exxon Valdez spill, where the government over-reaction could have been more devastating than the spills themselves.
