    This virus won’t overwhelm 1st world countries. Other than the panic reaction to it, it’s not even likely that it’s going to overwhelm China.

    You know you say that and every now and then I see a story about hospitals facing shortages of common medicine. How bad this gets is going to hinge on if victims are contagious before they become symptomatic.

    Dealing with a panic is part of the problem. I would say that if you were in one of the 13 cities that are currently locked down you might feel a little bit overwhelmed. I’m one of those that think it’s probably a little bit worse than what China is letting on. I believe China’s state run media just slightly more than I believe Iran’s state run media.

    Another video.

    Wuhan, where cases of coronavirus were first reported before the outbreak spread across the world, has been dubbed “zombieland” by desperate locals.

    Overcrowded hospitals, people dropping in the middle of the street, dying citizens treated in gardens because there is no room in the hospital, police bullying people into ambulances, 2-day old corpses under blankets it's like a bad nightmare these poor people can't wake up from.

    Your suspicions are correct. Apparently they were arresting people for posting about the initial phases on WeChat and Weibo.

    As is true of any communicable disease.

    Note that there are somewhere between 25,000 and 50,000 deaths from influenza in the US every year. Might help people see this particular panic in context.

    Well sh@t.

    China’s National Health Commission (NHC) said on Sunday that the new coronavirus
    is contagious even in its incubation period, which lasts up to 14 days, and that the virus’ ability to spread is getting stronger.

    Ma said that unlike Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome) the new coronavirus was infectious during its incubation period.

    And first case in CA.

    The Chinese central government is duplicitous enough. When you add in local and regional governments each afraid to report the true statistics up the chain to each other and to the central government, you have a situation whose true local impact is impossible to gauge. The central government may not even know the true extent. Lack of public scrutiny exacerbates that kind of corruption.
