Man the potential if the hong kong modeling is correct of having 44000 presymptomatic cases on the 25th is pretty insane, couple that with doubling every six days that means by friday we'll probably have almost 100,000 cases, that means by the 24th of next month there will be more than a million people infected with the wuhan and we'll be moving toward more than 30,000 deaths.

i didnt and im not sure i want to. I wish they'd done some modeling travel since december 1st and given us an idea of how many pre-symptomatic people might be in other countries. I imagine there was a lot of traveling over the last month and a half with all the holidays.

*this apparently was modeled as the lockdown being the ONLY containment policy to show if it had any benefit (it was too late and won't do poo poo)* so it isn't meant to be a prediction of what will happen.

So hypothetically speaking, if it does get really bad (like in that chart), how long would one need to stay locked inside to ride it out? Like two months until it dies down, if I'm understanding that correctly?

quote:

In Xiangyang, the third-largest city in Hubei and home to more than five million people, there were zero confirmed cases as of January 25, but that has not brought any relief.

"There are no hospitals in Xiangyang that have the diagnostic kit and can provide diagnosis," Yixin Yu, a resident of Xiangyang told Al Jazeera. "The most likely diagnosis you get is viral pneumonia and will be asked to go back home to exercise self-quarantine."

"It can't be that there are no infected people - it's only that no case is being confirmed," Yu added. Xiangyang is about 300 kilometres (186 miles) northwest of Wuhan.

I'm reading that China isn't testing dead people for coronavirus, so if you caught it and then died before you were diagnosed with it, you wouldn't be included in the official counts.

I don't recall exactly (When I made the post you're quoting I was in the middle of scanning through Twitter, Reddit, and a bunch of journalism digging up information) but there's been complaints about patients not getting tested and there's this story: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/01/25/quick-burials-lack-tests-raise-fears-cornavirus-outbreak-much/

quote:

The corpse of Chen Min was wrapped in a yellow body bag with tape when it was delivered to the funeral home by workers in hazmat suits. The staff disinfected the van they travelled in and disposed of protective gear.

Despite being pressured into a quick cremation by authorities, the grieving family did not know if the 65-year-old had died from the novel coronavirus sweeping China. And they still don't.

If they're running out of testing kits then it stands to reason that they wouldn't waste them on testing random corpses, right?

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

I'd listen to the CDC call from today, they expect it to continue to rise as they isolate everyone in close contact with the 5 confirmed current cases.

The thing thats bothering me right now is that according to the DNA scientists this thing started its spread as early as October and testing kits are apparently not really widely available anywhere, if thats the case, what are the chances that people are being sent home with "just" the flu or pneumonia even in countries outside of China

The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention has upgraded its warning for novel coronavirus to Level 3, which is to avoid all non-essential travel to all of China. This means the outbreak is of “high risk to travellers and no precautions are available to protect against the identified increased risk”.

It warns of person-to-person transmission and that “older adults and people with underlying health conditions may be at increased risk for severe disease”. The advice also notes that there is “limited access to adequate medical care in affected areas” in China.

Level 3 is the US’s highest warning level.
