quote:

“Confronted with the grave situation of this accelerating spread of pneumonia from infections with the novel coronavirus, we must step up the centralized and united leadership under the party central” leadership, Mr. Xi said.

The Communist Party will establish a top-level team, called a leadership small group, to grapple with the crisis, the meeting said, giving efforts to fight the outbreak greater urgency and centralized coordination. Here are some of the other measures and main points announced:

Mr. Xi demanded strong efforts to provide medicine and other supplies, a point of anger among many doctors and medical workers in Wuhan who have complained about a shortage of protective masks, gowns and other safety equipment.

Officials in Hubei Province, where the outbreak began, received an implicit telling off. Residents and many other Chinese people have said that officials did not respond seriously enough. Hubei, the meeting said, “must make containment and control of the epidemic its topmost priority, adopting even stricter measures to prevent it expanding within and spreading outward.”

The meeting called for concentrating resources, experts and treatment to cope with the surge of infections, including sending patients with serious symptoms to designated medical units. This suggests that there may be more hospitals built or modified to deal solely with the outbreak.

Local and military medical resources are to be pooled for the response.

Public spaces across China, including railway stations, airports, and ports, were told to step up measures to deter the spread of the virus, including ventilation, disinfection, and body temperature checks for people. “When suspected cases are found they must be held for observation locally,” the meeting ordered.

thank you comrade xi. i believe in you.

Uh.. no. Cured right now means your body fought off the disease. You were confirmed positive, recovered and confirmed negative.

e: By those numbers the vast majority of people who were infected are either still sick or dead with a tiny fraction having recovered.

Quoting this to remind that a significant portion of cases, which may range anywhere from a minority, to a plurality, to an outright majority, will never actually see a hospital despite being infected. This isn't Ebola where it just murders you without treatment.

Given that the fatality rate for people that end up in hospital is currently sitting at 53%, you'd need 95% of cases to never see a hospital just to get it down to Spanish flu levels - and for every fatality to happen in a hospital.

also they’re not testing dead people at all (ie. if it’s not tested while you’re alive, you’re not included in the number) so all of the numbers are wrong.

Considering it incubates forever and then some age groups just walk it off there's no particular reason to even care for the numbers at this point.

Pretty much although it's probably more of a case of "had a healthy enough respiratory system to not drown in their own lung fluids".

The virus presents with pneumonia-like symptoms and if you pull through those you test negative so I'm not sure why people are dumping on the use of the word "cured." What should they be saying instead?
