Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[TexOffender]

What cracks me is that its always fucking China. You can almost always backtrack the origin of an epidemic back to China.
Can we just glass the shithole and be done with it? It has been more of a nuisance than help throughout history at this point.

They pop antibiotics like candy in China. If a superbug emerges to wipe us out, it will be from there.

Goddamnit - the infected Chicago fags had better not vacation up north any time soon, or I'm going to be pissed.

We need signs like, "Spend your diseased money at home: the upper Midwest in winter is frozen hell and will wreck your fluid-filled lungs."

I still can't believe there hasn't been a single report for New York of all places, there's gotta be some unsuspecting shmuck spreading that shit all around as we speak.

Hypothically if word got out this was the result of a botched bio-weapon, what kind of punishment would China face? Would people finally have the motivation to just nuke them off the face of the earth? or maybe a complete and total replacement of their leaders/politicians.

If I go with my view point on it, it would just be a slap on the wrist and them being called naughty. but I might just be exceptional.

NY Post reports on the video of hospitals choking up with the dead. I saw the video before, thought it was BS until it started popping up in newspapers.

Coronavirus outbreak: Video shows bodies in halls of China hospital

As I understand the situation, Wuhan is the epicenter of the outbreak. There's been a lot of talk about wet markets, but Wuhan is home to a BSL-4 facility.

The outbreak would be a lot easier to explain as a failure in handling than some rare combination of animal parts. The 2003 SARS outbreak was the result of deficient handling protocols in Beijing.

There's a 2 week incubation period on the Corona Virus and China just sent in the Military to enforce the quarantine. There's 11 cities under lock down, those troops themselves are not under quarantine to any specific area. Soliders will likely be shifting from town to town, their only protection a 3M 8200 face mask.

This isn't going to end well.

The CDC is typically pretty good at disseminating information as rapidly as possible. China just isn't giving us shit so its basically watch and wait and communicate with other countries that have infected populations.

So while it might be a global pandemic, China is going to bear the brunt of it. And ironically, it could be a watershed moment. Devastating plagues have always changed history. The Black Plague literally ended feudalism in Europe. This is basically ripping the blinders off that the CCP isn't omnipotent, their culture of silence is actively killing people and even their massive amount of restrictive control can't save people. 50 million quarantined. A possible quarter of a million with weak lungs infected. Casualties problably hitting the hundreds as of now.



Well no fucking shit its pneumonia, but the problem is it is literally named 'novel Cornavirus' meaning 'shit we've never seen before and have no idea what the fuck it does'. I'd just get in a habit of wearing a surgical mask, arm yourself with gloves and isopropyl them down. Just make an excuse and say you've got the flu or something and then just wear it for like 4 weeks. Its better than getting some unknown infection.



If you quarantine 50 million people and go 'Everything is ok, don't worry', the world isn't fucking brainwashed Chinese. We know something is completely and utterly fucked. You can't just do that. China does not care as long as its image as this impossible global monolith is maintained. There could be 250 million dead and they still wouldn't share shit. China would literally force us to cleanse their entire nation before they did something. That's how fucktarded their views on image are, even its fake.

Not STEM myself, but I am cursed with the classic "medical family" and they shoot the shit a lot.

I remember a conversation a while back to the effect of, this year's Australian flu season was "odd" in that the flu wasn't more deadly or debilitating that expected, but it spread a little more aggressively and the symptoms weren't quite what was expected. Aussie flu season is a few months ahead of ours, so it's like the world's shittiest season preview. Plus, the flu vaccine combination this year wasn't as effective as the public health folks hoped.

@Secret Asshole is it possible that some of what we've thought were slightly odd Aussie flu cases were actually nCoV?

“She said doctors were on the verge of mental breakdown, and they had reached their limits, treating more than 100 patients a day per doctor. Doctors estimate that at least 100,000 people are actually infected！China gov is lying！#Wuhan #WuhanCoronavirus #coronovirus https://t.co/MtkowlptZo”

They barely have enough doctors to handle this as is and they're apparently dropping like flies, if not due to the disease but exhaustion.
This probably has a long way to go before it hits its peak.

As awful as that sounds I wouldn't be surprised.

Doctors are treated like absolute shit in China.

Low pay, long hours, direction by ignorant party bosses, ignorant populace that just wants traditional remedies and believes they know better than you. Automatic low social credit score, you buy all your shit at the window and travel on the tard train.

Waiters get paid better, eat better, and receive more respect. But if you made the mistake of getting a degree in medicine, this is your job for the rest of your life. Higher suicide rate amongst Chinese doctors than Foxconn plant employees.

The culture is very screwed up. If you're sick, your family might offer a doctor a bribe to save your life. If it doesn't work out, your family might kill that doctor. Police would side with the family, the bribe culture is so strong they often look at failure to perform miracles as fraud. There are a lot of stories of doctors being disappeared for a few months, only for their families to receive letters of confession to murdering their patients for money.

Just so you know I'm not shitposting:

Ummmm excuse me sweaty but China is a beautiful country this is clearly Drumpft's doing. He knows he's getting destroyed at trade and he's about to get impeached for real so he's lashing out at minorities by releasing this disease in China

I don't know if it says more about me or the state of the world if I could see multiple people not only saying that but honestly believing that.

It's almost like nature is as sick of the Chinks as the rest of the world is.

Is there anything stopping them from leaving the country? Because I'm sure as hell that any other country would give them the respect they deserve-

 

[Unsweet]

Are there any recent examples of a massive outbreak in India?
India seems like it'd be a giant oil streak and just instantly erupt the moment something like this touches it.
They better become a superpower real fucking quick.

I think they have open sewage issues so cholera outbreaks. People bath and cook in the same water that people shit in.

When do you think the travel ban will start in the US?

Just announced, it showed up in Washington state just like I expected. This is what happens when you import Chinese to work for tech companies, they bring disease and steal your secrets.

First Patient With Wuhan Coronavirus Is Identified in the U.S.

A man in Washington State is infected with a new respiratory virus. Federal officials plan to expand screenings for the infection at major airports.

A friend of mine retired about a year ago from a snohomish tech company that sent him to China on the regular. I can't help but wonder if this unfortunate soul was the one who got his job after he left. I'm betting my friend is feeling a bit lucky now.

UW has a huge Chinese student population and it was always an semi-unspoken fear of the workers there to catch one of these nasty flu-type viruses from working there. It's the beginning of the semester/quarter, so the chances of it popping up there with people who were home over the break is a possibility.

Can't wait for the "THAT'S RACIST!" reeing when that comes.
