how have you never had the flu before?

like going to public elementary schools, community college, and uc d i had pretty muhc gotten the flu at least once every 3 years and i'm pretty germophobic with washing

I've had the flu twice in my life.

Like actual flu. Not a bad cold as is commonly mistaken for the flu, and not "stomach flu" which isn't actually a thing.

First time was in 2009 and I think it was the H1N1 that was going around at that time because I was bedridden for a solid week with terrible fever and chills. Whenever I was awake I was coughing and hallucinating, and whenever I slept I had weird distressing dreams. I thought I was going to die but in the mental state I was in I think I was okay with it.

Second time was last year and I was only out for a few days, and all the symptoms above were present but milder, but it still was incredibly unpleasant.

Anecdotally from my experiences and the experiences of others, if you're able to move and think and function outside of your bed while sick, it probably wasn't the flu. If it is honest to goodness flu and you can power through it you're made of much sterner stuff than me or anyone else I know

edit: the fact that it's such an awful thing and actually does kill people leaves me flabbergasted that so many people just shrug and say "what can you do, it's flu season" when it goes around instead of actually trying to do something about it

I speak and read literally zero Japanese but the head of the WHO is Ethiopian and the graphic shows China sending big stacks of money to Ethiopia, so I assume it's saying the WHO is refusing to criticize China because the head of the WHO is worried about scaring off Chinese money from Ethiopia.

This thing is already out of control. Criticism of how China is handling it is kinda funny in that it won’t matter in the end. Even with the highly restrictive controls put it place, it still got out. China couldn’t really have done anything differently. These respiratory infections are incredibly common. If you only noticed after 40 hospitalized cases at one hospital, that implies hundreds of more cases out there. And of those 40 maybe 2-4 of them died from it, and people die all the time from pneumonia. It’s the most common infection to die from if you present to a hospital with it IIRC.

What I’m saying is you can’t control a virus that is this easily spread.

Oh yeah I certainly agree, I think people mistake it but it's quite distinct with vomitting, more dry-heaving, fevers, more vomitting, trying to chug some soup, dryheaving again, and awfulness for a solid week+. I'm just surprised people have only ever got it once or twice, or never, but then again I live in a denser more populated part of the country.

All this 2009 flu talk has made me remember I caught it back then too. It was November or so and I was completely annihilated for about a full week and fell behind big time on my classes. I don't remember much of it beyond just sitting on my couch wrapped up in my blankets feverish and delirious, but I do have a distinct memory of having to crawl across the (very cold) apartment floor to get to the bathroom.

ten cent may have leaked official stats of 24k total dead as of feb 1st. ~150k infected or something.

not sure if those are legit but that would explain the reaction of the chinese government. barricading people into their home doesn’t make sense with like a few hundred dead,but it makes total sense if you think there are 30k.

it is possible that China isn’t limiting wuhans test kits to 2k per day but leaking that information to help obfuscate the situation.

where did you hear that? i don't really believe much on the internet because anyone can be 'my uncle works at ___ / i'm a doctor at hubei and....' but yeah the response seems very serious.. I just chalk it up to them not taking any chances this time around and better safe than huge masses of sick all at once.

I mean I'm sure the deaths are underreported or (intentionally or otherwise) mis characterized and thus not reported and there's probably at least 1,000 but 24,000 seems like a little too much to be believeable at this time.

We would also see many more deaths in non Chinese countries but there are only 2 right now. About in line with that 2% figure

This is pretty much me. I don't remember when the first one was but the feeling when my fever finally broke is my benchmark for good times. The second time was last year, I texted work on day 1 to say I was sick, fell asleep on the couch, and everything between then and day 3 is entirely second hand information.

e: I was apparently ambulatory and churlish.

Taiwan hates China, you can't trust that poo poo. You can't trust the truth of basically any country with either a parasitic or symbiotic geographic proximity to China.

I understand the need to be skeptical, however those dire stats comport to what we are seeing a lot more than the official statistics. soldiers on the streets in bunny suits, Macau closing for 2 weeks, bodies lining hospital hallways, cities locked down, people being welded into their apartments, Xi laying low for a week.

edit: we are gonna know real quick by keeping an eye on the global supply chains.

Wouldn't we be seeing a much higher number of infections/deaths outside of China if those tencent statistics are true?

Definitely. We're now about two weeks out from the first reported cases internationally, which means we're past the maximum known incubation period for the first round of international cases, and well into reporting those infected by the first round. If those figures were true we'd be well above the 200ish international cases that have so far been discovered and reported.

They help a bit but they're not enough, which is why in Wuhan they're also converting the convention center, stadium, and school gymnasiums into quarantine wards. If they run out of needs the fatality rate is going to go much higher.

There's basically 0 chance that stats of the true number of infected/dead even exist and definitely 0 chance that ten cent has received them

like you may as well have said that Microsoft leaked official stats it makes no sense, it's entirely possible that they posted official projections though
