Philthy posted:Keep seeing on the news of US locals who are in quarantine zones in China for vacation/family/work and they can't come home and they're pleading to be evacuated out. Going by the article from the Wuhan journalist, they understand arguably as much about quarantines as the CCP, which suddenly announced the first at 2am after over a month of prohibiting hospitals or clinics from releasing any information on the novel virus that had appeared weeks prior while pretending everything was fine and punishing anyone who suggested otherwise. Quarantining massive cities is something that has never been done before and which the WHO didn't think would be effective in the first place, and it's now very obvious that it was never going to be effective even if implemented perfectly given that it was about 5 weeks too late. There aren't really any contingency plans or anything to support the quarantined cities or enable them to continue functioning in terms of waste management, supplies, etc.

The official numbers are not jivving with the first hand accounts I'm seeing of overwhelmed funeral homes, etc. Either the chinese posters/translators I'm reading are LARPing or the official deathtoll numbers are bullshit.

TBH they could be doing the same thing they do when they report flu deaths. They only report it as a death if the flu was the direct cause not if you had some other issues and the flu pretty much did you in. Like person has cancer or whatever and they caught this poo poo and died they would count it as cancer being the cause not this poo poo.

Kinda feels like that scene at the end of Ghostwatch where they realise the calm live feed they’re watching of the haunted house is pre-recorded and when they reboot the system they find that it’s actually in loving turmoil.

so it looks like it's tracking to be less deadly than SARS, but much, much more infectious which means it'll probably kill more people than SARS in the long run fun

My mother had end stage copd, so of course the first bad flu she caught killed her. I wonder if that was listed as a flu death.

VikingSkull posted:also what'd that 8,000 take, 18 months? 8000 was basically in 2 months. After that, infections were extremely limited. This will break it a shorter time and is seemingly still in growth phase. I wonder if it's just because of the mobility of the Chinese population now vs then, but not sure since the vast majority of people infected are still in Hubei.

If she was in China then no. There was that infographic floating around a few days ago which claims that china only has like 150 flu deaths a year while the US has like 80,000 or whatever. The US records it as a flu death if they died while having the flu even if there were underlying medical conditions... china does not. China #1.

Kinda interesting that we haven't heard of any cases in NY. I work in Flushing, which is like the Chinatown of Queens. My wife works in Chinatown in Manhattan, which is like Little Italy but for Chinese people. Dense areas, many older folk, lots of people traveling to and from China, etc. My boss was handing out masks, but just the little ones. Me, I'm just washing my hands frequently, stuff like that. Hoping for the best. We had been planning on traveling to HK in the spring, but uhhh we're not gonna do that now, better safe than sorry.

Strongly considering walking to and from work instead of public transit for the foreseeable future. It would add an hour to my day. I get coughed on / near by randos on the bus and yecchhh No reported cases here yet. Chances are when that happens it's going to be soon, it will be distributed in common areas, and I truly don't want to get super plague from bus germs
