China coronavirus spread is accelerating, Xi Jinping warns
BBC ^ | January 25th, 2020 | Unattributed

Posted on 01/25/2020 7:49:27 AM PST by Mariner

The country is facing a "grave situation" Mr Xi told senior officials, according to state television.

The coronavirus has killed at least 41 people and infected some 1,400 since its discovery in the city of Wuhan.

Travel restrictions have already hit several affected cities.

And from Sunday, private vehicles will be banned from central districts of Wuhan, the source of the outbreak.

A second emergency hospital is to be built there within weeks to handle 1,300 new patients, and will be finished in half a month, state newspaper the People's Daily said. It is the second such rapid construction project: work on another 1,000-bed hospital has already begun.

Specialist military medical teams have also been flown into Hubei province, where Wuhan is located.

The urgency reflects concern both within China and elsewhere about the virus which first appeared in December.

We (the public) don’t have much information to base any decision on, and what information we do have can be untrue.

We can assume that Xi Jinping is getting more information (and perhaps more accurate) and he decides to issue a warning, then we should take him serious.

We will not get the true numbers out of China.

However, the virus has already been carried around the world.

If the death toll around the world begins to rise it will not be kept a secret for long. Either way we will know more in about two weeks.

That’s one hell of a wall/gate. We should hire the ChiComs to build something like that on the Mexico border.

The China government is aerial spraying disinfectant over infected cities.

Now how reliable is this? This the type of Scare Hype we don't need, what we need are concrete facts.

So is the story that China developed this and it got out by accident and now they are paying the price, along with the rest of us because of this stupidity.

Your attitude is too cavalier, we don’t know enough yet to make that assumption.

You aren’t going to get concrete facts. This is Commie China.

Look at their reaction and think about that really hard.

How bad does it have to be to generate this kind of reaction from China.

And yes, you can bet people were trying to develop this as a bioweapon

From 2015

Beijing News are reporting that tomorrow, all inter-provincial (interstate) road passenger transport into/from Beijing will be shut down indefinitely “to prevent and control the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic”.

Just think how reluctant the Soviets were when Chernobyl happened to release information, it took other countries noticing the elevated levels of radiation before the Russians announced it to the world.

Per her posting history, Mother Abigail hasn’t posted since 8/5/2012.

Maybe someone here knows her current status.

... "accelerating" is a very bad sign.

If you watch their actions you can see they're 'off the wall' freaked out about this...

“Don’t hear much about Ebola or Sars viruses any more.”

Don’t hear much about the Spanish Flu either, even though it killed some 675,000 Americans - 50 million people world wide. George Santayana said something once about remembering the past, but I forgot what it was.

I can see some lefties all giddy about this, because they think it will wreck the economy, and with it, Trump’s re-election chances.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

Mechanical ventilation hopefully will help lower the mortality rate if it hits the west. However if the virus is causing organ failure or sepsis than nothing can really prevent a high mortality rate.
