FYI. "“That gives me no comfort at all that anything that’s happening right now is going to bring this under control any time soon,” Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, said of the data the WHO released."

It could turn into a global pandemic and no one’s prepared for one.

What do you want to bet that those generations happened in a LAB conveniently located in the city of origin.

Impeachment trail isn’t going well for world domination, so Soros decided to unleash a backup strategy.

That package that just to my house from China, I just popped a bunch of those packing bubbles. I hope nobody sneezed while they’re filling those up over there.

“has infected a person, who infected another person, who then infected another person”

Unlike the flu, where a one big fat virus infects everyone at the same time.

Sheesh.

With a 14 day incubation period, nobody knows how many are infected, much less how to control it.

While they suspect it’s transmitted via respiration, there’s no certainty at this point. But the recent pressure is on surface sanitation.

If this virus is hearty for hours or even days on doorknobs etc., the 14 day incubation makes this quarantine the only possible means of stopping it’s spread outside the region.

Which would have to be followed by thorough sanitation.

I would not want to be in Wuhan right now. It may be a while before anyone gets out.

As I’ve said on some other threads, my in-laws in China say that “many” are sick, that the news or their government is reporting almost nothing compared to what they see.

Considering that it is airborne now, apartment air handling is going to be infected in those giant complexes there, driving the numbers very quickly.

Very small number of hospital beds per each city compared to population, combined with the complete lack of private practices there. If you are sick or have any need for medical care, you go to the hospital in China, take a number, and wait. Doesn’t matter if you have a runny nose or a stroke or heart attack.

This has the ability to run over their health system within the next few days.

As for quarantine of cities, EVERY road has gates, with PLA soldiers. When they close a city, it’s closed, period. Business is thankfully shit down there all this week for the holiday, next week too now. Or longer.

I just hope it doesn’t mutate and become more lethal. Most deaths are elderly, but try to imagine losing your parents right now.

I’m doubting the one person seed scenario.

From reading around the web its also looking to be much more wide spread in China than the official news is admitting.

I just keep recalling that it wasn’t long ago that a new Level 4 bio research facility was built and certified by the Chinese in Wuhan.

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.
