Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[Youthanasia]

First of all I'd like to extend my thanks to @Synesthesia for showing us the Chinese Twitter account. Now onto the translations:

Let's start it off with some wonderful pictures of the poor Chinese medical personnel after they take off their goggles and masks respectively:

Spoiler: Pics

The next one is on a wife snitching on her husband for "not taking care of the family and causing public disorder amidst the pandemic" with details on his fishing spot. There are easier ways to get a divorce, y'know....

This one is on one of the researchers in the P4 Wuhan Lab trying to tai chi off the blame by stating that the virus was not caused by their leak. He gets almost instantly BTFO'd by an alleged professor's wall of text blaming the creative protocols that some Chinese labs use, including:

• Selling off animals used for experiments on the legal and black markets, such as Labradors and other dogs as pets (Peking Union Medical College), some macacas ( Southern Medical University ) and the good ol' taking out white mice as pets.
• Slipshod handling of animal corpses to save costs on cremation as per normal protocol.
• Not handling the SPF (?) eggs properly, as he had two students snacking on em for supper.
• Divvying up the pork among the lab personnel ( 301 Hospital Orthopedic Department experiment pigs )

Wuhan's medical supplies have finally and unfortunately ran out. The notice was issued to mandate TCM as a remedy to the WuFlu.

The OP gets a bit wistful in this Tweet. I quote: "The Japs are no longer the Japs in our anti-Japanese dramas, yet the Chinese are still the Chinese in our anti-Japanese dramas".

Next, the CCP has issued a notice on the stoppage of water supply to the Dongtan district in Shenzhen. The OP is livid about how the officials in charge couldn't rub two brain cells together.

A reminder on the avian flu in China. An absolute brainlet calls on PETA to stop the animal abuse in the replies.

Spoiler: Video

Continuing on, in the first two pics a guy was arrested and almost charged after someone set him up by reporting him to the police for "intentionally spreading the WuFlu". The third pic is on the CCP's red tape and inefficiency causing the poster's aunt slowly succumbing to the sickness after caring for the cousin in the absence of proper medical care or facilities.

Finally, the issuance of hall passes to go out to buy your necessities once every two days. Except this time you get arrested or shot for defying the rules. Such a delightful reminder of grade school, isn't it?

Spotify shuffled me to The Beautiful People just before I started typing, and the chorus is fucking uncanny:

Spoiler: lyrics

Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful or something free?
Hey, you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes, man it's hard to be clean.

The Johns Hopkins site doesn't list any cases in Africa, which seems interesting to me for no particular reason, but then again it's missing the cases in Brazil, so it could mean nothing.

nobody cares about africa and they are just not smert enough to do the tests,,,

Eggs are used to grow various things in. They’re used a lot in vaccine creation.
That’s a list I can only describe as horrific. And I am horrified, but not surprised, by any of it. This is why you don't let countries with no safety culture build BSL labs.

I mean I get it, play stupid games win stupid prizes, but fucking hell. Nobody deserves this shit.

This is a long video from ADV China. The 2 people are SerpentZA and Laowhy86 (C-milk) I take your time viewing this but it is a good viewing and an update to this topic.

Note: Youtube is not posting the title of this video in here. Take that as you will.

First local confirmed case in Malaysia. This definitely isn't looking good for the country's attempt at containment, given that the man had been moving about freely for about five days prior to being admitted.

First Malaysian tests positive for Wuhan coronavirus

KUALA LUMPUR: A 41-year-old man from Selangor has become the first Malaysian to be infected by the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).

Asia will burn and supply chains will have to shift. We might be owing sacrifaces to Nurgle.

 

[Ivan Shatov]

So now they've injected a total of $242 billion dollars of liquidity to stabilize the market. Yesterday it was 144ish so almost 100 more today.

Currently things look pretty stable but there are still well over 100 stocks that can't be traded because of how much they dropped yesterday. This is going to be a fun week.

$242 B is a lot higher than the $175 B they announced last week.

Pardon my speculation, but my best guess it will take about $1 T in capital over the next 30 days to keep the Shanghei and Shenzhen markets afloat. Businesses will only stay in business through the use of promissory notes and lines of credit that will have to be paid back. If the public health emergency extends a single day into March, they will need to sink about the same amount into the markets to stop a full-on route.

There are many Chinese businesses that won't survive this crisis unless the CCP decides to intervene. Which might happen, it's important to remember party members get access to preferred shares in these companies, often for free, so they have an incentive to prop them up. But cash injections don't stop the bleeding, supply chains are really what's at stake.

For the West, the most recognizable business in Wuhan is Foxconn, which had more than 30,000 employees there at the time of the incident. 2 of their factories are shut down, each was already running third shifts to keep up with demand. Net production is down to zero, they supply parts used for every Apple device (along with stuff for Microsoft.) Those Foxconn plants were built there to have greater proximity to a network of suppliers in Hubei which are also shut down.

Hard to appreciate the scale of this clusterfuck. It's not like someone can sound the all clear and everyone will return back to work, it's going to take days / weeks for that entire supply chain to get back up to capacity after the public health emergency is over. Meanwhile, Apple might not stick around. You only learn so much from those guys, but word is they are moving production of a number of components to Vietnam. Who knows if they will remain, Tim Cook seems to be the only true champion for China in that company. Microsoft is sourcing vendors throughout Asia / South Pacific for a number of industrial parts, they seem to want out badly.

China's GDP is like $12 Trillion and they hold about $1 Trillion in US Debt. Taking $1 Trillion to prop up companies doesn't actually take away from that number so long as those companies can continue generating revenue afterwards. While the CCP has a lot of levers they can pull to keep "customers" in line, they are not infinite. China is currently outsourcing a lot of work throughout the East, it's pretty easy for foreign companies to go direct to the subcontractors for their parts.

So the real risk is, the longer this goes on, the greater the likelihood revenue streams running through China terminate irrevocably.

The CCP can't just start culling the diseased because they need those people on factory floors, and they can't do mass forced labor under pandemic conditions because people will just start dropping dead. Instead, they are forced to sit on their hands while this thing runs its course, and that's not a good thing for the rest of the world. It's going to fuck up other economies through companies who are suddenly spending money on startup costs to get going in Malasia and who are going to experience increased costs due to increased demand.

And that's just the start. It's not safe to assuming people suffering from the virus can return to full productivity after recovery. My understanding is victims have a diminished capacity characterized by lung damage and problems with the immune system. Depending on the degree to which infection rates are being underreported, China might not actually get its workforce back, only a portion.

If China has to shut down another province, or a major company pulls out entirely, or this thing goes another month, we're looking at very serious damage to the Chinese economy. Which means very serious damage to all the economies of the West. If the CCP tries to claim 6% growth for 2020 - which those Communist liars absolutely will - we're going to see economic warfare on a scale never before witnessed in the history of markets. The ambitions of the English during the Boxer Rebellion will look tame by comparison, the whole fucking country could turn into a slave labor colony owned by Goldman Sachs and operated by the CCP.

All of this because the Chinese don't wash their hands, they hate doctors, and they steal technology they're not equipped to handle. They're receiving a very pragmatic lesson in why intellectual property matters and why collectivist politics are complete shit.

Oh wow, I didn't even think on the delicious irony of the virus being manufactured by stolen IP. Get fucked China, you get what you fucking deserve.

Well there are only so many things you can make with a box, probably not the specific model but they all are built to the same sort of standards. Just go looking on alibaba for a few minutes and you can find loads of nearly identical deathcubes to this.

prefabricated homes, prefabricated homes Suppliers and Manufacturers at Alibaba.com

Alibaba.com offers 11,799 prefabricated homes products. About 89% of these are Prefab Houses, 0% are Other Boards, and 0% are Other Heat Insulation Materials. A wide variety of prefabricated homes options are available to you, such as use, material.

And it also only takes about 10 seconds to find these prefab containers without barred windows.
As has been said, barring the windows might not be a bad idea, but given the shoddy work put into constructing this thing and all other things we suspect, this whole thing looks less like a hospital to treat people and more like a leper-colony, where the Chinese will let nature run its course while keeping their propaganda-machine running about their successes in treating people (elsewhere).
It is simply insane to pretend that it was not a deliberate choice to use containers with bars on the windows is all I am saying. And it is shameful apologetism for China's continued fucking up and a smokescreen to REEEE about "Hurr, that's just the way ALL prefab container buildings are DURR" and ignoring all other points raised against this deathtrap.

I halfway suspect some officials to get twitchy and just send people back to work, claiming everything is under control, since they know they have to pick up work ASAP.
Might not even be desperation to fill a quota, maybe they just gamble out of greed to be the first to get their shit back on track again, so they get a few headpats from Xi JinPooh in return.

Oh wow, I didn't even think on the delicious irony of the virus being manufactured by stolen IP. Get fucked China, you get what you fucking deserve.

The most logical scenario is they used a bioweapon shipped from Canada on pigs, some dipshit sold diseased pigs to a wet market for human consumption, and thus set off a pandemic that is slowly killing the country and threatening the world's economy.

You can't make this stuff up, only Communists are this stupid. It's always pigs that destroy them. And they always demonize ethnic groups that hate pigs, Jews and Muslims are always the subject of their wrath.

Manuel Castells wrote a great series of books on the Information Age, he talks about Soviet efforts to create a microprocessor. They had one clean room in the entire Soviet Union, it was managed by a pig farmer. That pig farmer got the job by being a loyal party member, managed teams of engineers according to party doctrine. They accomplished nothing.

Say what you want about Chernobyl, the Soviets never made it to the Information Age because of what we now call 'equity.' Stupid fucking communists, we're watching it happen again in real time. A pig takes down a great People's Republic. God forbid muslims ever discover Marx.

And yet, they keep throwing up all these hospitals for the infected.

A few thousand people dealing with the disease, a quarantine that shut down an entire province, a low mortality rate that mostly affects the elderly, and no impact on young people.

Either this is a massive overreaction by the CCP or someone is lying.

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

Now we have:

• Water being shut off to a populated district.
• A city out of medical supplies and being told to rely on TCM (Hinting at no resupply)
• No medical supplies mean no testing kits
• China refusing US aid then crying we aren't giving them free shit
• 20K threshold hit
• A shantytown "hospital" set on a liquid core cement slab with no drainage
• Curfews and "Supply Gathering Passes" with lethal force/arrest options

Well, looks like things are entirely under control. I'm sure this will go well and any second India, 2020's superpower, will discover a nanite cure that can even raise the dead!

Maybe the West shouldn't have gotten in bed with ret.arded Chinese Communists who keep the majority of their population living in Stone Age levels of hygiene and beat them into submission with disastrous and outdated Maoist-Marxist-Leninist economic policies. Also the general public is fed up with overpriced, overhyped and shoddy goods from China so Goldman-Sachs might be in for a shock.

When I think my life sucks, I remember that at least I don't live in the timeline where the Soviet Union invented the Internet.

They were struggling with dust while we were figuring out dot matrix.

The Soviets were building computers with stolen parts, there was actually a gaming scene going on. They had modems, you just couldn't count on them working.

Had they reached the point of being able to create their own microprocessor, there would never have been a telecommunications infrastructure capable of supporting distributed networking. All the stolen IP in the world does not a supply chain make. Buying from the West would have bankrupted them faster than a nuclear accident.

Wuhan is turning into a bad sci-fi novel.

Not sure how anyone denies the CCP is lying about the numbers, no country does this except in extreme circumstances. They're creating a necropolis.

Something I've been wondering, when does the law of diminishing returns kick in? When does it become cheaper to just shoot the infected rather than treat them? The PR hit would be severe, but it would allow them to keep their economy intact.
