Might want to keep eyes on the New Jersey, New York area after that cruise ship disembarked this morning. It’ll be interesting to follow if any confirmations come out of that.

of the 7 billion people on this earth, and the number of groups out there that seem to like to sacrifice themselves for various causes, I’m a little surprised someone hasn’t thought of trying to “weaponize” this by purposefully getting infected, going to their intended target area, and trying to set off a local outburst of the contagion.
the fact that that hasn’t happened, and that the 25 countries (other than China)who have documented coronavirus appearance have been able to contain it , gives me hope that maybe it’s not as contagious as feared.

As others have pointed out though, China does seem to keep building brand new hospitals every couple of days. It is clearly going to run through that country until nature stops it.

It took a month or more for it to really get going on China. Let's wait and see how things go a little longer before we dismiss as a non threat here. With that being said I hope this fizzles out quickly here.

I don't even understand why people would give any credence to something so outrageous, penned by the always credible "local correspondent". Though, they do worship a nameless 4chan troll with a long history of being wrong. I suppose some people are easier to dupe than others.

The CCP would seek nothing from the courts anyway, if they wanted to do something they would, plain and simple. I don't believe this either. I don't put it past them to exterminate some people if they feel it expedient though.

It’s a propaganda cover. It was on twitter so it’ll get world wide viewing. Just take American twitter users as an example...

How many could find China on a map before this virus if you paid them to?
How many actually know that CCP is short for Chinese Communist Party?
How many know that they have a history of decades of propaganda and deceit?
How many are actually believing the bullshite virus numbers China is releasing?

How many are actually thinking the CCP is going through the court for permission after seeing that article?

That second tweet is the one that need to start watching. The other provinces are certainly behind Wuhan in terms of the outbreak wonder if we'll see numbers start rising in other parts.

Reporter's Notebook: Life and death in a Wuhan coronavirus ICU

Interesting interview from a doctor on the front lines:

Caixin: Is there anything that moved you in particular? Did you cry?

Peng: I often cried because so many patients could not be admitted to the hospital. They wailed in front of the hospital. Some patients even knelt down to beg me to accept him into the hospital. But there was nothing I could do since all beds were occupied. I shed tears while I turned them down. I ran out of tears now. I have no other thoughts but to try my best to save more lives.

The most regretful thing to me was a pregnant woman from Huanggang. She was in very serious condition. Nearly 200,000 yuan (S$39,505) was spent after more than a week in the ICU. She was from the countryside, and the money for hospitalisation was borrowed from her relatives and friends. Her condition was improving after the use of Ecmo, and she was likely to survive. But her husband decided to give up. He cried for his decision. I wept too because I felt there was hope for her to be saved. The woman died after we gave up. And exactly the next day, the government announced a new policy that offers free treatment for all coronavirus-infected patients. I feel so sorry for that pregnant woman.

The deputy director of our department told me one thing, and he cried too. Wuhan 7th Hospital is in a partnership with our hospital, South Central Hospital. The deputy director went there to help in their ICU. He found that two-thirds of the medical staff in the ICU were already infected. Doctors there were running "naked" as they knew they were set to be infected given the shortage of protective gear. They still worked there nonetheless. That was why ICU medical staff were almost all sickened. It is too tough for our doctors and nurses.

I hope you’re wrong as well. I just spent hours scouring through cdc, fema & hhs sites. Their info is primarily based on novel influenza pandemics but the info and projections on that are staggering and this virus has a higher contagion rate.

We’re not ready. We’re not ready for this to blow up as individuals, as a country or as a planet.

Coronavirus Live Updates: An American Dies of the Virus in Wuhan, China

A couple things of note in the above article:

"Chinese car and auto-parts factories may stay closed longer than expected because of the coronavirus, increasing the chances that assembly lines in Asia, Europe and the United States could grind to a halt because of shortages of components." <<That won't end at just car parts, it'll work it's way into everything especially computer parts.

"Hangzhou, a Chinese city with a population of 10 million, said it would temporarily ban the sale of flu and cough medicine at pharmacies, in an effort to compel people who might be sick to see a doctor." <<This kind of crap is only going to further hurt people. Give people the resources they need to try and treat themselves BEFORE it gets to the point of being severe.

If the confirmed cases in the US start dying, I'll be concerned. Didnt the first one get released recently?

Is the US that much better in the medical field or do yall think the overcrowding at hospitals is what cripples china(assuming the deaths are outrageously under reported as suspected)
