his is the real issue - if 30% get sick, another 10% stay home to care for sick, 10% stay home to care for kids when they close schools (action #1 for an epidemic), and another 10% stay home because they are scared, nobody is making, ordering, or delivering anything. The economy then looks like the old Capital One commercial where the guy trys to use cash - everything grinds to a halt.

I would assume that most of America’s N95 masks come from China. This is not good. The last thing we should be doing is sending what few we have back to China.

I am currently in Wu-han and nobody has been released from hospital or been cured of the disease. The reported mortality rate of 3% is gravely inaccurate. The disease is spreading faster than SARS and is more deadly than being reported. #coronavirus #CoronavirusOutbreak— Jui-sing woo (@JuggyBenitez) January 26, 2020

I’ve looked at some of the stories coming out of Wuhan.

It isn’t good.

People are puking up blood and turned away.

This is very significant. This city is outside of the province that is known as the epicentre of the #coronavirus. (Around 500 miles away) it is the first time a city outside of #Hubei is put on full lockdown and the first time the government reported it in such an explicit way.— AS-Source News (@ASBreakingNews) January 26, 2020

“About 70 million people quarantined, about 1700 cases, and about 50 deaths.”

.........SO FAR

Look at how fast the cases are multiplying. The newly diagnosed don’t die right away.

How much faith do we put in this report?

I have a hard time believing my own government. But I absolutely don’t believe Chinese propaganda. When have they ever been honest?

Chinese authorities have released information for flights, trains and long-distance buses where #coronavirus patients were found, asking those who had been on board to immediately report to the authority.

One of the first adult books I read was "The Stand" back in the late 1970s. Creeped the hell out of me.

Hopefully this does not become a real-life version of that.

If people cannot stand watching little mice die, wait until they watch a 3 month old die because they didn’t vaccinate them.

"I’ve looked at some of the stories coming out of Wuhan. It isn’t good. People are puking up blood and turned away."

If I was in that situation and I started feeling sick, I wouldn't go to the hospitals even before they were overwhelmed unless I thought I was about to die. I'd think maybe I have the seasonal flu, and I sure don't want to catch the Coronavirus at the hospital. Once the hospitals are overwhelmed, I wouldn't go no matter what. I'd figure my body will either beat it or it won't.

How many people are in that situation now? It's certainly thousands. Is it hundreds of thousands?

Again, I suggest keeping 50 million people quarantined is going to close more than the trickle of western money leaving for Vietnam. Why not just invade Vietnam?

It’s like far, far worse than what the Chicoms are letting on. Bet the ranch on it.

According to this Chinese citizen, hospitals have become worthless now. People can’t even get treated for other life threatening problems. Everybody is pretty much SOL.

Sounds like it’s time to get some silver

And Lysol

And bleach

Beijing declared a first level emergency response. All ‘interstate transportation services’ going in and out of Beijing are suspended beginning tomorrow. Which began yesterday.
