Hundreds of patients in Wuhan who have yet to be confirmed as carrying the new strain of coronavirus are becoming increasingly desperate as the city struggles to cope with the numbers reporting pneumonia symptoms.
One 36-year-old, speaking by phone outside a major hospital in the city, said she had spent the past week taking her sick husband from hospital to hospital in a vain attempt to get him tested for the virus, which has already killed 41 people and infected hundreds more.
“I have nothing. No protective clothing, only a raincoat, and I am standing outside the hospital in the rain,” said the woman, who gave her name as Xiaoxi.
“I am desperate, I have lost count of time and days. I don’t know if we will both live to see the new year.”
She said that Lunar New Year’s eve felt like “doomsday” as there was nowhere for her and her sick husband to go in the locked-down city.
A video shared by Xiaoxi appeared to show the hallway to the fever ward of the hospital packed with anxious patients seeking attention from medical staff.
The footage also showed medical staff in protective clothing and what Xiaoxi said were the bodies of patients who had died in the hospital and been left in the corridor wrapped in linen.
While the government has offered to pay for all expenses of patients confirmed to have the virus, those who have not yet received a positive test have been left to pay their own medical bills.
“I pay anything from hundreds to about 1,000 yuan [US$144] a day for medicines. There are many people like us. I saw many people who couldn’t afford the bill and just gave up coming and went home,” Xiaoxi said.

I’m calling this a hoax. Everyone knows that China has free health care. /s
It doesn’t take much to overload the typical hospital. Heck, a weekend at some hospitals in the USA can tax them with the overdoses, fights and shootings.

When things are not looking good at home for the globalist agenda moving toward 2020 what else is there to do but look globally and start little fires here and there
Time to make a run to the grocery store and stock up on tin foil - your hat needs to be very elaborate to be fashionable these days.
“Okay, now you can panic.”
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD – the new coronavirus is a 3.8!!! How bad is that reproductive R0 value? It is thermonuclear pandemic level bad – never seen an actual virality coefficient outside of Twitter in my entire career. I’m not exaggerating…

Masks and GOGGLES.
It now seems likely that the airborne (sneezed) virus can land in your eyes and infect you. After floating around in the hospital hallway for a while.
Stay out of hospitals for this one. They are just places to spread the disease.
Exactly what I have been thinking since I first heard about this outbreak.
“We’re not quite there yet. But planet Earth is heading there. In a hurry.”
No it isn’t. Every generation thinks they’re important.
This will pass, as it has every other time.
Chinese are still flying by the thousands into San Francisco, Seattle, and New York.
A woman bragged on social media about how she artificially lowered her temperature to get by the French airport screeners.

The President cannot stop terrorists and illegal invaders from coming over here before some Clinton or Obama appointed judge declares his actions null and void.
I agree with you. Air traffic should be shut down or more regulated. But it would not only have to be from China, but other countries.
However, it would only take a few weeks to completely bankrupt the airline industry, and drastically affect our economy.
So they won't do it.
[Can you understand the language in this video? The woman in bio-gear said that over 90,000 were infected according to the subtitles.]
NB I had my iffy translation verified by a native speaker. The video’s narrator does say 90,000 dead, not infected. If so, I’d expect mass graves, but it’s possible bio hazard teams have been deployed to transport the bodies elsewhere to a place where they can be disposed of without being photographed from above.
Wow, what a damning statement summing up the last 30 years..
And it’s Very True.
How mighty they must have become with our money.
But their might could fade and Trump is helping with that.
Jut like Japan was going to drink us under the table with their economy back in the 80s, we always win in the long run
Reported cases...it’s China, remember
Watch social media from China shut down a lot faster than air travel
Well, China could shut their borders, that would help and they should do it.
Every product made in the PRC could be contaminated. I’d stay out of WalMart.
Bingo!
I believe it
As of last Thursday, a doctor from one of the hospitals in Wuhan reported on a cell phone video there were at least 90,000 cases in the city. The video was sent to the west before the government shut off access to the internet. They corridors were packed and people were lying on the floor in some instances, don’t know if they were dead or alive. The lines wrapped around the hospital like a Trump rally.
The first three minutes or so of the video show the scenes from China, I’m not sure about the satellite video and her commentary that follows. Then the doctor appears at the end of the video pleading for help from the west, according to the translator.

There is. o say to know what the survival rate is. I trust nothing coming out of China. We will know soon enough.
