Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

With the resources stretched so far so quickly, they either narrowly avoided a disaster or are hiding one. Especially considering what's going on in Italy..So just random thought. China's infection rates are supposedly beginning to level off. Lets say they max around 100,000. That's less than .5% of China's entire population. Seems like that's a pretty low infection rate, no? (I understand you can't necessarily blanket it like that because there's hot zones where there was probably more person to person contact, etc, but still?)
Edit: Guess that's not really accurate since you can't use total population assuming there's a great deal of people that obviously haven't contracted it because they simply haven't came into contact with it.
Just derping and thinking out loud...

Once it's out-of-control, you're only treating the people triage tells you need help urgently and asking the others to kindly fukk off because you need the beds. Out of the percentage of people you actually treat - and therefore test - they are very likely to die.
Other provinces that were able to move on this earlier and had the benefit of the government shutting off the flow of Wuhanfugees have the luxury of treating milder cases, and so have more survivors in their data.

It’d be like the EU trying to control spread throughout all of Europe. It’ll get a lot worse and Trump deserves blame for some of it, but you think about stuff like LA holding their marathon today you realize a lot of the blame should be placed squarely on state and local govt.Bruh, what?

3rd, infection rates are expressed in the R nought(r0), not population-wise
You can expect full panic mode in the US once they actually start testing en-masse. Stock market will tank even more this week imo

A daily reminder of how idiots misrepresent statistics to create panic.
I am just gobsmacked at some serious comments by people wanting to shut down a whole country: schools, airports, all commerce. Yeah because that isn't an overreaction that won't do more damage than good? lol @ Trump haters, he did shut off flights to China way back in January btw.
It's like people have no idea how detrimental snap-reactions can be to an economy, they read a total of deaths not taking in consideration the demographic and %. Elementary school minds thinking everything is easy as "Shut it all down until there are zero cases!".
"Millions and millions are probably infected by we just don't know" - amazing science and factual logic right here. Let's just make things up and speculate.
Many places the infection rates are tapering off. The reality still is, fatality rates are nothing alarming. Preventative measures are fine, but over-reacting will do more damage. It's like people want this to get worse so it's something they can talk about.
Reading the YOUTUBE comments on a video where some Canadian Health representative starts sobbing just made me lose more faith in humanity. People legitimately thinking: "It's way worse than what they are saying, this truly could be the end". These are the idiots buying all the toilet paper. They waited until ages to put up travel bans from high-risk areas because of the usual left politics and criticized other leaders for doing it under a racism tone. Now they have leaders who are meant to show calm, sobbing in public. So now the moron citizens think it's some outbreak zombie apocalypse. Just lol.

The whole thing has been a media created mass panic.
Less than 4,000 people worldwide dead from it-the majority of those people with serious health issues already & living in unsanitary conditions, meanwhile in the US alone the flu has claimed 18,000 lives this flu season & worldwide around 650,000 people die of flu every year. A planet where nearly 8 billion people exist & yet this thing has infected around 111 thousand-the overwhelming majority in China & only 3-3.5% of those have died.

On other forums there's talk of scans from recovered patients showing basically permanent lung damage. Dunno if true or bull**** but apparently SARS and MERS left permanent lung damage in many patients who recovered from it as well.

I don't gauge much of anything on Chinese numbers. They lie about every fuking thing. There's not telling if the numbers they're reporting are accurate or way less than what's really happening. I wouldn't doubt if they aren't even reporting the real number of infected, much less real number of deaths.

The Chinese numbers exist. We know we can't check them and they're probably wrong, but at least we have a sense of why they are wrong and you can cross-reference them against other numbers and data for infleunza and other coronavirus variants to draw some reasonable conclusions.
It's also OK to just calmly accept that there are things we don't know and probably won't ever know for sure, without filling in the blanks with either hysteria or unreasonably rosy speculation.

Trump was eager to get his shots in at China, but dealing with Americans is another story. There is no serious question right now that Trump is trying to downplay the situation for the sake of the market while health authorities are running against his wishes to try to get information to the public. The media has been unfair to him in some ways, but you don't even need to follow the reporting, just watch the press conferences directly, to see him make misstatements before his own experts patiently correct him. The mainstream reporting is consistent with that visible reality, but now there's a steady stream of disinformation coming out of hillbillies on ******** and Twitter because they think Trump's Twitter account is telling them the entire truth and that the media is therefore lying when they accurately report what his own administration is trying to tell the public.
Lifelong Republican here who worked on multiple federal campaigns, but Trump has a persistent problem with trying to revert to real estate hype tactics that are good for raising money for a project but less effective for critical decision-making. Trump, IMO, is an effective candidate but a mediocre leader - and also a populist fiscal catastrophe and not a conservative of any kind. Still not voting for Biden or Sanders. Might write in Dr. Schnabel von Rom.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.
