If only the UK had Brexited sooner, it would have been entirely isolated from the rest of the world by the time the virus burned through the rest of the world. Now it will perish with the rest of us.

I haven't done too much reading into this specific paper, but a big part of the problem is that for an emergent virus like this it's extremely difficult to tell how many people are just fighting it off effortlessly, or at home rather than seeking attention. We're still far from accurate number even if we had perfect information, and while the bad cases are scary as poo poo, there's a lot of guesswork as to how bad the "average" case actually is.

That Chinese report is 41 cases that were taken to hospitals after displaying symptoms, so yeah, nothing about asymptomatic cases or people just ignoring it. Of course the people worst hit will have pneumonia, it seems like that study self-selected for the most severe cases.

Also, pneumonia after or as a part of a respiratory infection is waaaaay more common than you would think, even for things as basic as rhinovirus.

Looks like China is anticipating...robust growth to put it lightly.

Chinese state media are reporting that a second hospital, with a capacity of 1,300 beds, will be built to tackle the virus.

here are some 100% true facts:
  • yellowstone hasn't erupted for a half million years. and as we all know, volcanoes of every type follow an extremely regular schedule of eruptions. we are now OVERDUE for a yellowstone eruption, which will create ash clouds that suffocate 1/3 of the united states and also end agriculture on earth
  • the juan de fuca plate, which i didn't know existed until about 2 hours ago, is ALSO overdue for an earthquaking, which are also things that happen on extremely regular schedules without exception. it will be a 10.5 on the richter scale. the resulting tsunami will annihilate portland oregon, a well known coastal town
  • today, whilst making GBS threads on the toilet, I read about how methane hydrates might have been responsible for the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, a geologically fast spike in global temperatures 55 million years ago. after google told me methane hydrates still exist, I decided that scientists are 100% sure that there's a huge amount of them in the gulf of mexico and when climate change inevitability releases them all at once all it will take is one spark and a huge fireball will erupt across the entire gulf, blowing up every city simultaneously in a massive fireball
  • have you seen the meme about how there were big plagues in 1720, 1820, and 1920? did you know that this very year is 2020? it seems that history is a cycle that we cannot escape. the plague that is coming shall be the doom of all, and cannot be prevented, and also I have an extremely big brain that understands how disease and epidemiology works really well and an encyclopedic knowledge of disease outbreaks, which probably did not occur in any other years in history
  • many people don't know this, but world war 3 has already started several times. a world war 3 is when any minor conflict involving the proxy forces of the us, russia, or china clash. I bet you feel pretty dumb for not investing in a nuclear bunker!!
