Mons Hubris posted:My wife’s family in Beijing and Inner Mongolia apparently haven’t left the house for a week and they aren’t on official lockdown or anything. Crazy. The conspiracy theories in China are even worse than what we have. They don't have middle ground. Either you watch the state-controlled media or the horrific videos with little context on social media.

Regarding the videos, they are so effective, fake or not, because of how China shuts down on information spreading. Humans assume the worst naturally in these situations

There was a video of a person claimed to be a nurse and said 90k were infected. That video came out on Chinese new year so Jan 25. Probably from the Falun gong people. The reason I knew it was fake is that she actual said her name.

oxsnard posted:What? No, that's what dipshits like Trump think. They are desperate to keep it up, as they desire to move onto being a consumption based economy. Everytime the offshore Yuan starts to get shaky, it's always in the down direction. Currency contols are in place to discourage selling RMB, which is why Chinese citizens pump up houses in Vancouver and bitcoins Recent movements in the RMB in the last few years have shown this not to be the case. Also, keeping the RMb "up" makes little sense considering it would discourage exports and encourage imports. Also, if the Chinese central bank was desperate to stabilize the RMB it would be raising interest rates and going through currency reserves at a frantic pace. Also, the RMB wouldn't slowly becoming a reserve currency (still a minor one at this point). Trump wasn't technically wrong that the Chinese government is probably artificially devaluing the RMB, the ridiculous part is that plenty of other governments do that as welll, it is just China is one of our current geopolitical rivals.

China props up the RMB for the specific reason of trying to become a reserve currency and to have pricing power on commodity purchases. Every single Western hedge fund manager who makes a bet on the RMB does so on the short end for a good reason. If they allowed free float it would drop 10-20% overnight https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/28/china-economy-how-pboc-controls-the-yuan-rmb-amid-trade-war.html

Every single Western hedge fund manager who makes a bet on the RMB does so on the short end for a good reason. If they allowed free float it would drop 10-20% overnight Btw that story is from August of last year when the PBOC was clearly intentionally weakening the RMB. Pricing power on commodities doesn’t really make sense if a country is still clearly focused on exports. Chinese currency reserves and inflation are stable as are Chinese interest rates so ... no? Likewise trade data hasn’t shown a major shift at least so far. That said, if everything is “made up” then you are free to dream up anything. Also, that article doesn’t support your thesis either FYI, it even says the Chinese are intentionally devaluing. Ardennes fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Feb 9, 2020 |

Legit think that when this is over the total reported death toll will be like 20,000, but in reality it will over a million dead, and we'll only find out in 20 years.

Raccooon posted:That sucks I touch my face all the time. Got the flu after the flu shot. Looks like there is a strain of the flu not covered in the shot as a ton of people are getting it here. The flu shot's never 100% effective, and some years they miss the strain entirely so it's hot garbage. But it's better than nothing, and stands a decent chance of keeping you out of a doctor's office taking up space and potentially exposing you to nCov if it happens to get a foothold here. Also, most people who think they get the flu and don't actually go to the doctor and get a culture or whatever just had a really bad cold. Bad cold is I feel miserable I'm hacking and coughing up grey slime but medicine sorta works and I can barely function. Influenza is more I've been laying on this couch for fifteen hours under three blankets but I can't stop shaking and if I so much as blink my eyes I think I'll go into renal failure.

You gotta look at the bright site of all of this. This pandemic will lead to an increased desire for redundancy in global supply chains and improve institutional knowledge and resources needed to deal with pandemics in general. So when the really deadly one hits that researchers have been anticipating for years it won't be so bad. The experience from the Wuhan flu might help us keep global gdp drop below 50% then.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:i think there's a kind of trap because the virus seems, uh, really bad. like the chinese government freaking out as much as it did shortly after it started is what initially made me anxious. but rumors which then spread panic can make things even worse. so there's an odd kind of thing where "everything is fine! don't panic!" while the army is dumping troops in biosuits on the place and locking everything down that article Sheng-Ji Yang just posted I think actually helps us understand the soldiers in biosuits and everything. This part in particular: quote:Reporting on Friday in JAMA, the authors said their data suggested that rapid person-to-person spread of the virus had occurred among their cases. That was in part because of patients like the one admitted to the surgical department, whose symptoms misled doctors into suspecting other illnesses and failing to take precautions to prevent spread of the virus until it was too late. seems like even people with unusual or mild symptoms can be extremely contagious, like the example in that article of one infected person who spread it to 14 others in a hospital because they weren't immediately placed in quarantine because they presented with unusual symptoms. For a virus like that, where any person you encounter could be infected and contagious, and even those who initially appear to be presenting with a different disease could still have the contagious coronavirus, and your healthcare workers are all getting sick because they didn't know these things until they got hit in the face with them, how do you as a strong centralized state deal with that? One--tbh fairly logical--response, if you have the state capacity and will to do so, is to lock down the area to try and prevent further transmission, bring in soldiers to do the jobs secondary health workers would otherwise be doing like transporting people to and from hospitals and disinfecting areas where you know infected people have been spending time and building healthcare infrastructure, and make sure they're wearing gear to protect them against contamination at all times since even responding to a call of "help I've got diarrhea" might mean coronavirus. You can be pretty certain that if (when?) this happened in the US, you'd see the National Guard called up to help with the logistics of it all, the same way they are for disaster relief, and if the people running it if (when) that happens aren't complete and utter morons, they'll make sure every National Guard worker is wearing as much hazmat gear as they can spare at all times, because in a situation like this one of the worst things that can happen is your healthcare workers getting sick, since it simultaneously reduces the number of people fighting the disease and adds another patient for the remaining not-sick healthcare workers to treat.
