Assuming spread equivalent to the Spanish flu you'd see 23.4 to 60 million dead depending on whether the mortality rate is. 009 or .023

And to bring it back to recent China based events. All the stuff that China, (and other countries) are doing re: coronavirus all seems largely performative and theatrical to me. I haven't heard much about actual practical attempts to fight it/help the victims apart from the CSIRO people managing to synthesize it.

Everything else I hear seems to me mainly fear mongering, and stories of elaborate ways to shut yourself in, mask shortages, citywide lockdowns etc. None of which help protect yourself from the virus as much as washing your hands before and after touching filthy public surfaces

Death rate is currently at 2% "Officially" in China. Hospitalisation low ball is 10+% last checked.

It's a virus, there isn't much you can do for the victims other than supportive care and preventing more infections. We have yet to have a cure for any virus. It's also airborne transmissible, no filthy public surface needed. A vaccine takes time. Even if the death rate was next to nothing the sheer number of hospitalisations would overwhelm any medical system. You do not want this to get out. This is not the "Seasonal Flu" nor is it security theatre. It's a small miracle so far it hasn't exploded world wide but it doesn't mean we should slack off. The numbers outside of China are low because we didn't gently caress around by listening to WHO.

The masks are useful even if it is only a reminder to not touch your face. It's all part of a larger system to prevent it's spread.

The FBI has unsealed new charges against Huawei. For those not familiar, RICO is one of the most broad-reaching and powerful American criminal laws, and provides courts with enormous power to attack organizations. Huawei is clearly not going to be doing any business in the US anytime soon.

https://gizmodo.com/new-huawei-indictment-by-u-s-government-includes-rico-1841674124

quote:

The Department of Justice announced on Thursday that it was unsealing a superseding indictment against Chinese tech giant Huawei, charging the company and several of its affiliates under a law traditionally used to take down sprawling criminal syndicates that operated under multiple layers of secrecy.
. . .
The superseding indictment adds three new charges in the Eastern District case, including conspiracy to steal trade secrets, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and racketeering conspiracy under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). In addition to Huawei, it now includes four subsidiaries mentioned in the prior cases: Huawei Device, Huawei USA, Futurwei Technologies, and Skycom. U.S. prosecutors are essentially asserting that Huawei and those companies achieved their top-ranking status by working as a criminal enterprise akin to a corporate mafia.
. . .
Prosecutors are now demanding civil forfeiture of assets and profits related to the racketeering and trade theft conspiracy charges, as well as any profits from the alleged wire and banking fraud scheme to dodge sanctions. Huawei claimed over $122 billion in sales revenue in 2019 and the brand is valued at around eight billion by Forbes, meaning the implications are huge. Though most of that is in China, where the company is headquartered and the government is unlikely to take action against its own nationals.

U.S. intelligence officials have also recently claimed (under the cover of anonymity, and without providing specifics) that they have hard evidence Huawei has been building surveillance backdoors into telco equipment it has been selling overseas to spy on behalf of Chinese military and security services. News of the indictment and the supposed smoking gun in the espionage claims hits as Germany, one of the allies the U.S. has been urging to reject Huawei, is making a decision as to whether to include it in a 5G infrastructure plan. The firm is also facing numerous sanctions by the Commerce Department and federal government that have greatly hurt its ability to do business.

Lol I read some galaxy brain take that Xi Jinping willed China to become best in the world which means Huawei wouldn't dare to spy on anyone as they wouldn't dare to defy Xi's will. :suicide:

The backdoor claims are interesting. Most back-haul routing equipment these days has a logging feature in it for "Lawful intercept" of traffic. It's something a law enforcement agency can request with a warrant or subpoena and the telecom operator can go turn it on. All vendors provide this as a feature required by law, but it should only be accessible by the telecom operator locally, not by the law enforcement agency or the original vendor. It seems that Huawei equipment may have maintained the ability to access this feature remotely from China without authorization from the service provider.

Of course this is a case, like with most network backdoors, it is impossible to tell malice from incompetence by just looking at the technical implementation of it unless someone commented their code, "Secret illegal backdoor here".

one of the kids i tutor asked for tips on making pizza (cuz im italian) so i talked about seasoning the crust, flavoring the oils, that kind of thing, and when I asked what toppings they were thinking of, they said vegetables. So, I talked about making sure to oil the vegetables so they broil instead of burn in the oven. The veggies she was thinking of were sweet corn, potato, onion, and shrimp.

Potato of the right kind, sliced thinly enough caramelizes well in a pizza oven and makes a decent topping. Corn and mayonnaise though are verboten.

You could probably say, without stretching the truth too much, that TCM caused this outbreak by recommending pangolin scales (whish are keratin, you would get a similar "effect" eating your own fingernail clippings) and meat for all these different maladies and thereby popularizing the poaching of pangolin and their sale in markets

If you read the Donkey article they want their skin so they can eat the gelatin. Yes the same as the stuff found in Lemon Lime Jelly packets at the super market.

TCM is that loving stupid.

Gelatin is a mixture of peptides and proteins produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, pigs, and fish.

When I had pizza at an upscale restaurant in China my wife specified additional sauce (when we were ordering), as every pizza place puts little to none on their pizzas. When it arrived there was still just the nearly non-existent amount of tomato sauce on the crust, but they then remedied the situation by emptying 1/2 a bottle of ketchup over the top of it.

It's not even necessary to deliberately construct a backdoor to satisfy government spies. Western intelligence heavily relies on known exploits and security loopholes that inevitably appear in all software and hardware platforms, and they keep those exploits close to the chest so they don't get patched or used by other entities.

Chinese cyber-security laws requires Chinese tech companies to inform the government of any security loopholes that exist, but it doesn't require them to patch them in a timely manner.
