So any chance that they are being really dumb and drastically under reporting their infection numbers while more accurately reporting the death toll?

They're only reporting deaths of people that were diagnosed with the virus beforehand. They're not testing dead people after the fact for the disease.

I remember the last ebola outbreak looking all scary and exponential, and thinking that hundreds of thousands if not millions could die. But they got it under control pretty well. R0 was below 2 in most places lol. Although on the other fatality rate was like 40% so there's that... This would be killing fewer people as % of infected but that's hardly great news if literally everyone gets infected.

All the numbers are probably made up but they couldn't possibly be reporting the true infection numbers as for a lot of people (wild assumption but vast majority) it just hits you like a lovely flu bug and you wait it out at home. The reported numbers are the folks so bad off they felt like going to the hospital and got tested.

You have to get the actual bodily fluids to catch it, and by the time people are spraying blood from their holes they're already about to kick it anyway.

What does severe mean? On a ventilator/respirator? Because if so, won't the number of severe cases quickly outstrip the supply and then all of them will die without aid?

If you need to go to an icu for an extended period of time, the chances of leaving the hospital alive are like 50%. Usually people in the icu are listed as “critical”

My guess is this is early in a big wave. for hospital cases it allegedly takes like 2-3 weeks to recover from and pass an all clear series of tests and it doesn't take nearly that long to kill you if that's the outcome Edit : ten days no fever then pass like two swab tests

Chances are if it is a bioweapon it wouldn't be meant to be used solo, probably as part of a cocktail of other diseases. Sheng-Ji Yang posted:nefarious chinese politician: how about we intentionally inject our own population with a rapid spreading relatively low mortality virus to overload our hospitals, bring our economy to a screeching halt and cause a lost in trust in our leadership by foreign governmetns and our own people.... muahahaha. the perfect plan. I don't think anyone discussing the bioweapon possibility is assuming it was deliberate. As we all know, China has an excellent safety culture and its government and scientific institutions are paragons of honesty and transparency.

"China is lying about the severity of the disease because their government is bad" is a combination of orientalism and anti-communism. If there's any government that you'd think was more likely to lie about a calamity, the US's treatment of Puerto Rico is right there.

That all makes sense if there wasn't a 100% chance it's eventually going to infect your own populace and leadership in a war scenario. edit: yeah I know it wasn't deliberate. It's just lovely as a weapon unless you specifically are trying to kill a lot of old people and probably kids everywhere regardless of what flag they wave

61,000 people died from the flu this year in the US, i'm guessing this won't be as bad as that (in the US)

You may want to read up more on nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare because yea that's basically how it works. Strategies tend to be murderously indiscriminate. Generally the scenarios where these things would be purposefully deployed are the type where blowback is a tiny afterthought because the State using them doesn't expect to survive the exchange anyway. Edit: this would also be making the assumption that if it is a weapon that it's a finished product and not something that was still under development.
