In a dramatic sign that the coronavirus crisis is improving in China, the last two of 16 temporary hospitals in the epicenter city of Wuhan have been shut down, according to a report.
The final group of 49 patients walked out of the Wuchang temporary hospital in the capital of Hubei province on Tuesday afternoon to cheers, according to the Xinhua news agency.
The 784-bed facility — which was converted from Wuchang Hongshan Stadium — opened Feb. 5 and received a total of 1,124 patients, according to the news outlet, which said 833 were discharged and 291 were transferred to other hospitals.
Meanwhile, a makeshift hospital in Wuhan’s Jiangxia District also was shuttered Thursday after 26 days of operation, Xinhua reported. It had received a total of 564 patients, 392 of whom were discharged after recovering.
Zhang Boli, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said the 16 temporary hospitals had received a total of 13,000 coronavirus patients.
Despite the closures, Wuhan — a city of 11 million — remains under lockdown after more than 50 days.

Remember this is more than 2 months after a total lockdown that is still going on....
Dang, the doomers are having a bad day.
Sounds like the coronavirus pandemic won’t last very long.
QUOTE:
China is the origin of the virus and still accounts for over 80 percent of cases and deaths. But its cases peaked and began declining more than a month ago, according to data presented by the Canadian epidemiologist who spearheaded the World Health Organization’s coronavirus mission to China. Fewer than 200 new cases are reported daily, down from a peak of 4,000.
Subsequent countries will follow this same pattern, in what’s called Farr’s Law. First formulated in 1840 and ignored in every epidemic hysteria since, the law states that epidemics tend to rise and fall in a roughly symmetrical pattern or bell-shaped curve. AIDS, SARS, Ebola — they all followed that pattern. So does seasonal flu each year.
RE: B-ball pic on the wall?
Basketball is one of the most popular games in China. The NBA is HUGE there. THey estimate 300 million people watch and play the game.
Very good point. But, we’ll take the good news where we can find it.

Thanks for this information!
So we figure, the first known case was on November 18th supposedly, if that is true, and no more virus in China, what does that say for us, til June we have to suffer with this?
“Sounds like the coronavirus pandemic won’t last very long.”

When you can build 16 hospitals in a few weeks, it probably wont last very long.
That’s good news.
I still don’t trust the numbers coming out of China.
But this is good evidence that they are on the backside of this in Wuhan.
“...received a total of 1,124 patients, according to the news outlet, which said 833 were discharged and 291 were transferred to other hospitals.”
833 + 291 = 1124....meaning 0 died? hmmmmmmmmm
RE: what does that say for us, til June we have to suffer with this?
About that time. And the summer weather will help.
IF and only IF, we take similar precautions and learn from countries/cities that have successfully controlled it like , Taiwan, Singapore, Macau, and yes, even ravaged South Korea.
That's a good sign.
They’re dead, Jim...
Yup.
Hopefully we peak in early April.
Maybe we could send some of our cases to them.
