The South China Morning Post is doing yeoman's work covering this 21st century Chinese plague. The Chinese government promised to cover expenses for flu patients. It lied. Sick patients in a country with an average daily daily per capita GDP (used here as a proxy calculation for personal income) of about $22 are now having to pay $144 a day for medication that may not even work.

We're not quite there yet. But planet Earth is heading there. In a hurry.

1,000 cases in a country the size of China are producing scenes of desperation?

First case in Toronto, Canada. Person visited Wuhan. Why planes haven’t been stopped from coming in is a mystery to me.

killed 41 people and infected hundreds more.
Nurse claims infected is 90,000. Hospitals reported to have “sea of bodies”.
You will notice that the official numbers, despite the high contagion rate, have remained steady ...

“I saw many people who couldnt afford the bill and just gave up coming and went home,
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.

No wonder people are dropping on the streets
Or just going home to die
Meanwhile spreading the virus everywhere, so the govt is reportedly spraying the city with disinfectant
What a nightmare

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.

OAN is doing a story about it right now. The video looks like something out of a movie with packed hospitals, workers in full biohazard PPE, and deserted streets.
