Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Treasure Champs]

So if Chen Qiushi's testimony is correct, the diagnoses/recoveries are seemingly for those near the brink of death?

Or am I getting the wrong conclusion from this?

That man is also a hero in this situation. Too bad he'll probably be "re-educated" by means of a gunshot to the back of the head.

Treatment... or apparently, attention of any kind, was being restricted to the most critical cases. Lots of people without diagnoses and lots of people given "maybe"s.

Maybe this is too optimistic, but I don't think there will ever be another super plague like the Spanish Flu, and certainly not like the Black Death - at least where there is modern medicine and hygiene practices.

The Black Death was in a time when rats freely mingled with people, and the Spanish Flu happened in a time when there was better hygiene and medicine (yet not as good as today) - so they were more lethal.

I love that shit. Has actual medicine in it and doesn’t taste like shit (I kinda grew to like the taste). So, can’t think of any science behind this one, but someone told me to let the water go clear before drinking it and it would work better.

it was an old black dude and he was like “when I was younger and doing coke I thought the shit didn’t work. Dropped one in and letIt sit for a bit and it cleared me right up.” I was like well it’s the same meds, but what’s the harm in letting it stop bubbling? I don’t need my medicine to be like a weird sprite. Although they make flavored ones now that are pretty dope. Basically, check the active stuff and it’s good for basic symptom relief.

I use it when I have a cold that’s not shitty enough to not work, but shitty enough to make everything shitty. Does pretty well at that and I personally don’t like taking pills (I will, but if something can be put in water or like a BC powder I’ll go that route instead). I’m lucky in that an old boss/friend of mine is a retired pharmacist so he would give me recommendations on what to take. Also, still knows everyone so even though you can be coughing a lung up doctors won’t give you codeine cough syrup anymore. I literally went to the docs one time and they thought I was double my age and a smoker from the phone call didn’tgive me that. Called him up and he called back which store to go to to pick up Schedule V codeine (no stores really give that out anymore either). I’m just like thank fucking god because yeah there’s a opioid issue, but if I’m at thatpoint script me some fucking real cough syrup ffs.

I don't think codeine cough syrup contributes to the alleged opioid epidemic at all. You don't even really get high from that. That's horrible.

It's just another one of those feeling over facts moments that's so prevalent on western countries
I'm starting to believe western nations needs a serious pandemic at their hand so they can reassess their prorities

Maybe they're reading /pol/ and thinking "Oh no, there's going to be a pogrom against the Chinese if we don't stop the racism. We have to save our economy!".

Keep in mind the world didn't get better health and hygiene practices across the board.

Large parts of China and India are almost exactly as screwed today as 20 years ago and WAYYYY more densely populated.

 

[LetThemEatCake]

Fuck! How many people are there that want to emulate plague inc? Why would anyone want to travel to wuhan do they want to die, or are they that stupid.

Wu Han is not really anywhere most people would think of as a normal holiday destination. People who go to China in that capacity usually go to Shanghai or other tier one cities rather than take internal flights to lower tier cities. Most UK tourists will stick to Hong Kong in reality. Most of this 'tourism' is visit-the-relatives stuff.

Most of them being evacuated seem to be people married to ethnic Chinese who have accompanied them back to celebrate new year with their Chinese relatives or they are ex-pats who work in China in business or teaching.

The thing is the Chinese government won't let the Chinese halves of the couples or their kids go. Anyone with a Chink passport is being kept behind, no matter where they usually live. There's a case with some woman from York who has a baby with a Chinese passport and they said she can get the plane but the baby can't. A husband can go, but his wife who has perma-residence in the UK cannot as she has Chinese passport. This is what I believe has held up the evacuation.

I will go and Google this in a moment and therefore answer this question, but have they ever done that before?

Pile in, just started.

Edit: WHO has declared a public health emergency of international concern -- "will hold countries to account for travel, trade, and quarantine efforts"

Aaaaaaaand they are fucking rimming the CCP like their lives depended on it

Fucking wonderful

Many times. During the swine flu pandemic of 2009 and the Ebola scare.

In fairness I wouldn’t be surprised if their lives literally do depend on it.

If they or their relatives live in China their lives might depend on it tbf

given the universal cynicism the chinese proles seem to have beyond casual nationalistic bombast

Genuinely intrigued to know where you get this impression from. Could you elaborate? The vast majority of Chinamen are very proud of being Chinese. Effete ex-pats, not so much.

Either that or he was ordered to list off specific talking points as to how awesome and strong and perfect and kind and smart the CCP is to "protect china's image" in exchange for basic info on the virus

Info that will likely wind up not even being correct....or about the right virus given the general competence these chinktards have been showing as of late

so much for a nothingburger, at least i made sure to buy supplies before shit went down, my delivery is coming tomorrow

WHO: China numba wan, China good, China great, China does its best, China is doing more then they need to, China is transparent, China is revolutionizing how pandemics should be handled.

WHO seem more like a PR company like IGN, if the money clears then they give a good review.

 

[Rei is shit]

These WHO head should just fuck Xi already. This is pathetic.

They didn't. Most of their AI is paired with apps that identify you with the assistance of a mobile device.

The state of the art with the facial recognition features used to identify their own populace narrows positives down to a small group > 30% of the time. It might be 2, it might be 300. It's not facial recognition if it only works properly 7 out of 10 times, it's a facial recognition feature that works as part of a collection of other identifiers.

Don't get me wrong, they have effective systems to track individuals, but facial recognition features are not bulletproof. The systems they use for tracking you by gait are more effective.

SCMP has an article about face masks completely killing their facial recognition system. Not that it matters when they are tracking your phone 24/7, but still.

Chinese doctors right now are understaffed, massively undersupplied, shiting and pissing in adult diapers because they can’t take their suits off and risk infection, and sleeping on floors and chairs getting less then three hours sleep if any at all.

If there are any complaints from doctors or information about how bad they are being treated, well China will tell you that those doctors never existed and to stop asking questions.

God bless everyone of those Chinese doctors if anyone deserves a vacation right now it’s them, can you imagine how horrible it must be to be in their piss soaked shoes right now?

China has an awful patient to doctor ratio. US is around 400:1 while China is ~5,000:1, and that ratio is far worse if you exclude the tier 1 and 2 cities.

Study shows Asians twice as likely to be infected https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.26.919985v1.full (archive)
Small sample size needs follow up study. https://www.researchgate.net/public...bution_of_the_ACE_II_genotype_A_novel_finding (archive)

It is looking at the ratio of ACE II genotype over the ACE II + ID +DD. I = insertion, D = deletion at the 16th intron. ACE II =/= ACE2. Those are different genes, they are not even located on the same chromosome!

Everyone can get sick from nCoV, it will just happen more easily if you are Asian or you are male.

im waiting for the MSM articles about how the corona virus is transphobic to start. "how dare you infect this beautiful woman, she's obviously a woman with a penis!"
