Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

Muricans spend that time generating more insults and hatred and lies they created onto China.
And more money poured into the rioters and paid thugs they got in Hongkong to go on riots (for their *puke* Freedom and Democratic Rights. May all those rioters and black mask wearers , and their financial backers and supporters all get hit by severe form of covid 19 ) even at this time.

And the fiasco of Pence now being the Tzar of Murican response under the Dotard.
I got graph and chart for USA all ready to see how they will deal with it.
I am sorry good Americans will be collateral damage sustained.

Good thing is that the whole world knows whats is coming. They were not caught by surprise like China and they got plenty of informations on this virus coming from chinese medical personel. So cases out side China would be more easily managed and less severe. Beside they are only dealing with a small number of people.

South America will get hit

Look at Italy, and South Korea. From 20 odd and less a week ago, it exploded to 1000++ and 3000++ in less than a week.
Do you hope that stop at 1000++ and 3000++ ??

Italy and South Korea knew what was coming.
Or do you think they were caught by surprise?

I fear to look beyond into other countries.
But you entitled to your optimism, in which I sincerely hope you are correct.

Beijing just reported 2 new imported cases from Iran. Both patients are Chinese nationals. I think these are the 3rd and 4th imported cases from Iran. The note hasn't revealed where in China these two patients are from. The earlier two imported Iranian cases were both Chinese nationals from Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Iranian sources told a British doctor on Youtube who's doing a lot of COVID-19 videos that there were a lot of Chinese Muslims studying in religious schools in Qom, so I guess that's the connection with Ningxia. Of course Western MSM ignored the religious school connection and instead blamed supposed Chinese workers in Qom in their attempt to discredit the Belt & Road Initiative, even though Chinese workers probably kept to themselves while religious students were more likely to mix with locals.

Apparently this guy says there has been hundreds of cases in Seattle for 6 weeks now... If true, that would mean the strain in the US is far weaker and/or Caucasins have far less ACE2 receptors hence not as impacted compared to the strain in Italy, Wuhan or even what is happening in Iran which is seeing 50% CFR...

Maybe for once America’s awful medial insurance situation is working to their advantage.

Most Americans simply cannot afford to go to A&E for mundane things like the flu. So you are unlikely to have Wuhan-like hospital rushes that resulted in such high infection and fatality rates in Wuhan compared to everywhere else inside and outside of China.

That will change if news gets out about an uncontrolled outbreak. Which might be why they are desperately trying to downplay and cover up an outbreak.

And before anyone gets started about the ‘free press’ rest assured they will be more than happy to help suppress the news if their paymasters tell them to, and they will do so eagerly with some transparent lie about it being in the ‘public interest’, and are probably busy working on patting themselves on the back later with articles about how they helped prevent a panic and hospital rush by sitting on the story until summer.

After officials earlier speculated about possible sources of the outbreak including Chinese workers and pilgrims from Pakistan, Iran’s health minister Saeed Namaki on Sunday said the contagion was believed to be linked to a merchant from Qom who regularly travelled between Iran and China. The Iranian, who died from the virus, had been using indirect flights to get around a ban on direct flights between the countries introduced at the end of January.

Tech majors Alibaba and Huawei are also working on similar systems and so are AI specialists like Yitu. These system will help regions with weaker healthcare system to diagnose COVID-19.

Yes the Iranian did trace the outbreak to an Iranian merchant, but before that when the news of the outbreak first got out there were a lot finger-pointing at the alleged presence of Chinese projects and workers in Qom with no mentioning of the students who were more likely to be the source. Of course as it turned out, neither were.

... Of course as it turned out, neither were.

if you say so
