Anecdotally from some family members in Wuhan, regardless of the regulations there are currently not enough local officials to enforce them. There are still some people walking around without masks, there's a nearby suspected case reported days ago but no one has come to check in yet. The high-level orders may seem very forceful, but they percolate down through the bureaucracy and the community level people may not know what to do in each situation. On the plus side they have at least been on top of the food logistics, it's everything else that has felt lacking.

Some of the online conversation about coronavirus has bothered me a lot. A lot of people have maybe not even heard of Wuhan, and because the virus originated there, they have this conception that it’s a dirty, backwater place. But Wuhan is awesome. It’s one of the centers of the punk-rock scene in China—there’s this one venue, Vox Livehouse, that’s one of the coolest live-music venues that I’ve been to in the country, and right downstairs is this dive bar called Wuhan Prison that’s the kind of dive bar I think someone like Anthony Bourdain would have loved. And the food in Wuhan is awesome. It’s sort of a combination of Shanghai regional flavors and Sichuan flavors, and there’s some northern influence as well. One of their most beloved dishes is something called hot dry noodles, and it’s incredible. It’s a rich city with a rich culture. It’s an important city; it’s not nowhere.

It affects more men than women, and people 40+ have worse outcomes, and the older they are the worse it is. Babies and children seem to be at lower risk

2500 new cases in Hubei. Serious / critical cases continue to rise. If people are hiding from the quarantine and only waiting until they get pneumonia that would decrease the number of cases. You can suppress a fever with Tylenol or advil pretty easily

Someone said that China has 70,000 ICUs

Hubei has 4.5% of the Chinese population, so that would be 3,150. How many could that have increased with state intervention in the last month? Because I don't think they have enough for this many people. Especially since the breakdown is 8,276 serious, 1,876 critical.

The Chinese economy will collapse in less than a month

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/14/economy/coronavirus-china-economy-small-businesses/index.html

quote:

The small companies that drive China's economy are worried about how much damage the novel coronavirus outbreak will cause. Without help or a reprieve from the disease, many may have only weeks to survive.

While some larger companies are reopening their doors after weeks of lockdowns designed to contain the epidemic, small businesses often can't comply with the strict health rules now required in many regions and many don't have the option of letting employees work from home.

A survey of 163 companies of all sizes across China found that less than half were able to get back to work this week, according to investment bank China International Capital Corp, which published the results. Even more alarming: A third of roughly 1,000 small and medium-sized companies surveyed by academics from Tsinghua University and Peking University last week said they could only survive for a month with the cash they have...

It's 2% with ICU care and mechanical ventilation. Once those are filled things could get much worse.

At some point if the quarantines aren't working they'll presumably just say gently caress it, it's going to get out anyway, and let people go back to work before they'd let their entire economy melt down. Obviously figuring out the true mortality rate of this thing would be an important part of that calculation, but after a certain point you're left with a pick your poison situation.
