"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.

why not both

i still think china might be able to contain this tbh. theyre definitely going all out to do it.

probably. this is already the biggest quarantine event in human history by a ridiculous amount. they're not holding back, which is good, but at the same time makes me slightly more concerned because what if it's worse than they're saying?

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)

just following the curve it'll be double that by valentines in China.

If you keep using this very scientific method of graphing the fatalities by the time a theoretical rapid vaccine is created in 3 months everyone on earth will have been killed by the virus 200 times.

Very skeptical about that Nepal number. They didn't even know the patient had it until after he was discharged.

KATHMANDU, Jan. 25 (Xinhua) -- A Nepali student studying in China has been found infected with the new coronavirus, an official of Nepal's Ministry of Health and Population has said.

"It is the first confirmed case of infection from the deadly virus," Dr. Hemanta Chandra Ojha, chief of Zoonotic and Other Communicable Disease Control Section at Epidemiology and Disease Control Division under the Ministry, told Xinhua on Friday.

He said that the patient who had come to Nepal from Wuhan, China was tested positive during a specimen test at the laboratory of the World Health Organization in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China. "We had received the confirmation on Thursday evening," he said.

The man infected with the virus had come to Nepal on Jan. 5 from China and visited the hospital complaining about respiratory problem on Jan. 13. After his condition was improved following medication, he was discharged last week.

quote:

Keeping track of the numbers in this coronavirus story is challenging, with things changing all the time. But one figure that caught my attention from the National Health Commission this morning, was the number of people currently under medical observation for the virus. It stands at 30,453. It’s not clear from the statement where or how these people are being observed, but we do know that there’s a huge construction effort going on in Wuhan to build a 1,000-bed hospital for the virus patients. You can read our full story on this 10-day build here, but it’s fair to say the pictures of the construction are pretty incredible.

there's only what, like 90,000 ICU beds available in the entire us?

sounds like the pro move is to catch it early and get a bed then walk around all smug and immune while the other losers sleep in hospital hallways after the beds are all gone

You're not immune after pulling through an infection. Not with this one anyway.
