It’s also that SARS just didn’t infect many people so the jump up the y looks huge. Plot an average seasonal flu on that as well, and maybe if you can find decent numbers for a really bad flu year and see how it compares.
It will be interesting to see what the curve looks like in April or May. It’s going to take us a few weeks minimum to really see what we are dealing with here.

On a lighter note, Chun Li cosplayer Yuan Heorang is now helping fight the Coronavirus.
Doctor-Chan is here to lightning kick the crap out of Corona-chan.
(She's been posting about it on her instagram. Turns out she's a doctor.)

One technically good thing about this whole thing that came at the expense of all these lives is that my relatives finally shut the fuck up on how China is taking over the world and all that r/sino shit.
Had an uncle keep recommending me inhouse legal counselling in China once he knew I was getting ready to migrate after getting my kicks practicing law. Kinda makes me wonder why he didn't come to the family reunion dinner this year.

Reminds me of that study that supposedly found a link between the strength of the disgust reflex and political alignment. Seems pretty spot on, these days.Das raciss

Anyone who thinks muh racism is anything to be concerned about when trying to stop a pandemic deserves to be flown to Wuhan and embrace diversity for themselves first hand.

Singapore is not only banning people from China from entering the city-state, but it bans anybody who was there in the last 14 days. The Department of Health notes that "the likelihood of widespread community transmission in other parts of China is now high. As a result, we are likely to see a sharper rise in the local transmission of the virus in Chinese cities beyond Hubei province in the coming days"

more as an excuse to get some money since a lot of them have shit funding and personnel getting paid shit with shit work hours. the minister is also a sped. there's a reason why a lot of doctors move abroad.

I bet we’ll be seeing a lot more of these types of situation as time goes on. Chinese healthcare is shit, and self-entitled people would much rather go somewhere in the West for treatment and risk spreading the disease to us, than probably die in a Chinese medical facility. It really is unfortunate that the Chinese government is so against foreign help as I’m sure many western countries would be willing to send resources and personnel if it would prevent the infection from coming here.

Just a small update from Germany:
www.tagesschau.de
The airforce just got the clearance from China to launch the flight and the airplane launched. They'll bring back around 130 people - 90 Germans and 40 of "other citizenships". They'll arrive on Saturday and will be brought to the barracks in Gemersheim - which is near Mannheim - and have to stay in quarantine for 14 days there. They also have to pay a part of the flight back, the amount will probably be the cost of an economy flight ticket.
Bundesregierung schickt Evakuierungsflugzeug nach China
Etwa 90 Deutsche sind noch in Wuhan. Die chinesische Metropole steht wegen des Coronavirus unter Quarantäne. Jetzt ist ein Flugzeug der Luftwaffe unterwegs, um sie dort rauszuholen. Anschließend geht es in Quarantäne.

From a message I received not too long ago. The source isn't confirmed but the information isn't outlandish.
Feel free it post this in the thread. I don't want it being associated anyway with me even though risk is low being traced back but never know. Chose you because you posted everyone's favorite south African youtuber that comments on China.
The China situation is way worse than they are reporting. I work in the medical device industry, therefore have direct knowledge of order flow. China started purchasing like crazy more than three weeks ago (there is some noise there due to cny stocking)
China is full of second and third tier hospitals. These basically operate as you would expect hospitals in the west to have been in the 70s, I.e. little modern therapies
They are scrambling to buy devices and the accessories.
The problem is that what they need is high level equipment - a good ventilator for respiratory issues costs $10,000-20,000 (avg stay in ICU per day in china would cost about $2k per patient under normal circumstances). Distributors don't sit on stock and manufacturers are obviously not sitting on huge builds (maybe 3 months global supply) and China needs tens of thousands to modernise. The good news is that most manufacturing of reputable companies is still done in the developed world (e.g GE and Philips and German outfits) so assembly won't be impacted by china new year. China has currently suspended their normal import controls on medical devices. If you have a us (fda) or eu medical device license on the product they will let you import right now no questions asked right now. This is a massive concession.
The bad news is that manufacturers are going to get screwed soon as the supply chain has large ties to china that is out of their control (particularly for electronic components and sum-assembly like pcbs) and quarantining will impact supply.
China can build all the hospitals they want as fast as they can but it is pretty useless if you can't equip them and have trained staff operate them.
People that shout about influenza causing hundreds of thousands of cases per year are missing the bigger picture. Influenza is largely contained in modern systems that can support it through modern therapies.
China is nowhere near there - even if manufacturing can meet Chinas most basic needs now it will crowd out purchases western countries currently expect. Replacement capital purchases will have to be deferred, as well as potentially fewer accessories/consumables, that will mean developed nation's hospitals may have to pick and choose who they treat.
There is going to be indirect casualties.

The Shanghai Concessions sold their shit inland to make a quick buck in the 1930s.
