I don't want to spread any baseless rumors but I heard up to a billion Chinese are now dead and the horseman of the apocalypse, plague, has been seen with Xi jinping.

Now this is only third hand rumors I read in a toilet Stall in a Chinese restaurant (run by Koreans) but with those inscrutable Chinese you never know!

Not really though, even if you take the Chinese numbers at face value it is quickly spreading.

And it's pretty commonly putting normally healthy people in China in the hospital with viral pneumonia so your other post is reality-denying bullshit, too

But for most of the factors you listed, there is also an inverse correlation between their prominence and the likelihood of a severe pandemic. IE places where most of those factors are most applicable (developed countries) are also the places that have proven to be most resistant to severe pandemics.

This seems to suggest that a lot of the things you listed are actually net positives when it comes to reducing the likely severity of an outbreak.

Like yeah, more people live in cities, but that means more ready access to health care for most people. More people are reliant on medical infrastructure because medical infrastructure has improved by a factor of a hundred. People are often reliant on supply chains for food but that means that there are uniform sanitary and storage standards for everyone's food (mind you, the reason for this current outbreak is because a colossal number of people in China, even in cities, are partially reliant on wild game for their diets)

Infrastructure maintainence requirements are higher now because infrastructure is better, including most critically, sanitation infrastructure. The vast majority of households in 1918 still didn't have indoor plumbing and the idea of sewage treatment was only just starting to gain traction.

What about the 23 million people with immune systems compromised with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa? Wouldn't they be devastated by a pandemic?

That's very possible. I was getting the info third-hand anyway. I'll double check with my friend where she heard it and how sure she is.


stephenthinkpad posted:

The 90k number was from a fake video from Epoch Times (AKA the Falun gong newspaper) released on Chinese new year day.

My friend in Hong Kong finally responded. She got herself all worked up and used the wrong word. Turns out she meant 90,000 infected, not dead. But yeah, even that source is unverified. Sorry about the wrong info.

Between the nonstop protests, the virus spreading in her city, possibly having been exposed to the virus herself (from confirmed-infected Wuhan people staying in her building), and knowing how overwhelmed China's hospitals are... I suppose I can't blame her.
