Is that the tweet translation or the text directly in the video?

The tweet translation I get from Twitter, using google, is close to yours "The anger in my heart can no longer be hidden!" but not exactly that. I was wondering about the text the video, as I can't easily translate that.

That is a (super creepy) protest that was organized online in response to that whistleblower doctor's death - at like 9 PM everyone was supposed to open their window and yell etc

What's super interesting is both that they were able to pull it together under the Sauron-like eye of the totalitarian government, and that it was EXACTLY identical to something the Hong Kong pro democracy movement was doing in HK a few months ago.

The white overlay translates to "Weeping into a River and No More Fear", but my wife tried to explain it as being surrounded by the worst sadness and having nothing left to fear. I assume it's mourning.

I have been told by my colleagues in our manufacturing department in Singapore that they are screening people daily at the beginning of the work day. One of them told me that there are no more masks available and the government is giving out two a day max

My aunt in law is a nurse in Jiangsu and apparently it's the same there. We have been sending her masks as they only get 1-2 per day and have to sign for them.

Depending on where you're shipping from (US, specifically), those masks are probably piling up at customs on the west coast. We have a guy in GiP that shipped a bunch of masks last week and they've been at customs on hold ever since. Check any tracking numbers you have, but there's a good chance it's just sitting in a warehouse in California.

Dug up his post.

In local news...

You know that $500 in medical grade masks my family sent out over a week ago to China? Ya well they have been sitting in San Fran for over a week and the US government (usps) is refusing to send it. Along with a butt ton of other packages. Nothing is going to China right now.

We are trying to get them to give us the packages back but I have a feeling it will not happen for months.


edit : they are also holding things marked as donations for the outbreak. we only know this because of internal messages in the usps

The response to this is insane. It seems like it's way out of proportion - given western country's low death rates so far, the idea of being willing to sacrifice 50 million of your own citizens is bananas, to me at least.

Inside China the situation sounds grim. If all of China's healthcare infrastructure gets strained by this thing spreading to every major population center then the mere 3-5% death rate so far is going to look tame by comparison

We sent them with family heading back to China. Specifically my father in law who is a party official so he sort of has to go back.

Not because he will accomplish anything but because of the optics.

Alex Jones must be loving to hate all this.

The govt response reminds me a bit after the Boston marathon bombing, obviously different circumstance and the Chinese have taken it to another level, but I thought it was pretty loving weird to have APCs rolling down the streets.

The Boston bombing is tragic and I'm not making light of it, just comparing government response. I do not live in Boston but I would not let govt fucks search my house under any pretense.

I'm pretty poor and can't really afford to just waste my money buying disposable masks so I've been putting those in the oven at 175 degrees and putting them aside for 2 days before using it again.

How screwed will I be?

If you HAVE TO reuse an old mask, you can put it in the microwave for a minute. Make sure there is no metal bit on it.
