I love the pollution goblin shill getting BTFOd in the replies:

Is it any surprise that the obvious shill for the pollution goblins is a globalist and a RESIST!er?

Makes me wonder when the economy does go sideways over this, even slightly, how long it'll take the CCP worshiping Marxist lunatics, the various glow in the darks, and the globalists having a sad their slave labor camps were temporarily shut down, to blame Trump?

Not to drag politics into this, but as we move forward into the US's every 4 year political madness keep this in mind. Look at oh so many of the Dem's left wing lunatics policies, then apply Corona-Chan to them.
- No Borders, No Immigration Enforcement whatsoever
- No single family dwellings
- the concerted push to high density urban living
- the constant push towards dense packed mass transit
Pay attention to how many pieces have to keep working continuously without fail to prevent the Democratic Socialists Utopia from falling over. Food, Power, Police, Fire, Medical, etc. And how quickly those thinly spread services collapse in a crisis.

 

[Without A Gout]

THIS. THIS. THIS. THIS!

No trash collections. Possible electrical supply problems if power plant workers quarantined. Possible shortage of vehicle operators/aircraft/helicopter pilots if these people are quarantined. Possible water shortages/sewer problems if these people are also quarantined. Things are going to hell in a handbasket. The dense, yet fragile web of support services people need in Wuhan is already breaking.

I'd think you'll need to take a look at this tweet, then:

nerd on Twitter

“Crows crowded on the Wusi Road, Chengxi District, Xining City, Qinghai Province. Crows love dead animals, like carrion. It looks like the movie Resident Evil. #coronavirus https://t.co/gDE0fHypzq”

All that trash piling up is a boon for crows and rats. Potentially more disease transferred to humans.

this is based because it literally is the policy of survival of the fittest, which in this case would be strongest immune systems and most autistic/averse to human contact

thus we weightlifting kiwifarmers are literally the survivors of the apocalypse. hail autism! hail victory!

I mean they are kinda right? We can't do anything about coronavirus now but we can strengthen our immune system by preventing the flu. It has already been proven that you can get coronavirus and influenza at the same time. That's what happened to that guy in the Philippines

Edited*
So I looked it up because I don't like giving false information but I was wrong. The guy in the Philippines had aids. I could swear I read about a death outside of China were the deceased had cornoavirus,influenza and a infection of some sort infection, strep B?

 

[Tasty Tatty]

The case in Peru was confirmed negative. They did it in less than 24h. I have no idea how. The student is still in isolation and the rest of passengers are in close watch.

Building tent cities would have been cheaper, quicker, and safer than building expedient hospitals, but tent cities would not have looked as good on television. You can't really brag about how quickly you threw up some tents you stole from the PLA.

I mentioned before that China gov. knows well these acts work perfectly with the idiots. People from all sides of the political spectrum used this as a talking point of how their governments are useless and "even China" can do it better.

After I saw the China ambassador retorting so quickly that any precaution can lead to racism and xenophobia, I couldn't help to think if China hasn't managed to infiltrate academia more that we believe because it's exactly the same talking point leftoids make.

42 days... what the fuck is this? Don't some forms or radiation dissipate quicker than that?

 

[LazyLizard]

Outside China

412 confirmed/ 1 dead/ 38 recovered

those are the only real number we have to work with, anything coming from china is just propaganda but outside of china they have no way of hiding the numbers. now we just wait and see how terrible this virus truly is, is it world ending or is china simply fucked because it's a 3'rd world shithole and the rest of us are safe?

More likely explanation is that she got infected by someone else who came back from Wuhan while going about her day to day.

Talked to a buddy of mine who is an EMT near San Diego.

Last Friday, an EMT crew from LA we called out to deal with 4 homeless people. They were lying under a bridge, completely unresponsive and sick as hell.

It brought up an interesting problem. The EMTs are trained to take homeless patients to the emergency room. ERs don't test for NCP unless you fit some specific criteria, most of which need to be communicated verbally. None of the patients were responsive, nothing would have triggered a test.

EMS in CA is freaked about this right now. Word gets around fast when there's a suspected case and there are areas with significant homeless populations that lack emergency services altogether. They're short staffed, there are people taking leave so they don't need to deal with this.

EMS deals with the homeless all the time, most preventative measures would fail. Even if you put people under quarantine, most of them have serious mental health issues and will harm themselves in custody. The risk to medics is high, if there's an outbreak, homeless people are not going to seek treatment until it's in an advanced stage. His ambulance has been attacked by large packs of homeless seeking drugs, he's had to shelter in place and wait for police while they tried to tip the ambulance. In the event of an epidemic, he thinks they would be key to the spread because there are no good options for getting them treatment.

The 4 patients from last Friday were diagnosed with pneumonia and transported to another hospital that could offer better critical care options. He hasn't heard anything about them since then, which raises this other question: how do you know if the hospitals are actually treating these people? When it comes to the homeless, LA has a bad record of treating the symptoms and releasing homeless people back on the street.

It's entirely possible that, right now, LA EMS could be getting infected bums, sticking them with an IV, and releasing them back into the wild. This is a very real fear people on the frontlines are dealing with.

More likely explanation is that she got infected by someone else who came back from Wuhan while going about her day to day.

Especially since this was a native. If it was someone from a completely none-Asian country that hasn't been there since the spread first started and suddenly presented symptoms now, then there would be more cause for alarm. But given this person is still in China itself it's evident she got it from someone else sometime after the fact.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

Yeah, a lot of this just showcases how scientifically illiterate China really is, not to mention journalists.

Why would anyone be an EMT near Homeless Capital, California? Even without this NCV, it seems like an easy way to get AIDS from a junkie stabbing you with his used needle in revenge for ruining his high with Naloxone.

Your friend should move or get a new job. Public service is not a good job when the public is the worst of the worst non-contributors to society.

That begs the question, why would anyone live in California?

The place is a shithole, you pay a ridiculous sum in taxes, and it's infested with Communists.

Thailand blocks cruise ship turned away by three countries from docking at Laem Chabang

BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): The Holland-US MS Westerdam cruise ship will not be allowed to dock at Laem Chabang Port in Chonburi province after having been turned away by three countries over fears of the new coronavirus spreading.

I can't believe Mr Bones wild ride is actually a cruise ship. But there's still no getting off, bucko.

I know that I am a cynic but it is my belief that even western countries like the US and Canada are suppressing numbers. Here in Ontario you get a test if you have been to China and exhibiting symptoms. If you haven't been in close contact with someone recently returning from China you are not even considered a potential case. Weird since there is no government madated travel restrictions and the airlines are free to fly to and from China to meet the need.

I also saw tweets regarding a particular incoming flight from China:

[Glad I couldn't help]

The Grauniad has a thunk-piece on how the outbreak is going to effect the global economy. Quote:

Gloomier still is the Enodo Economics chief economist, Diana Choyleva, who believes China’s real growth rate figure for 2019 was probably nearer 3.7% and this year will be lower than that. Some particularly gloomy analysts are warning the worse case scenario could be economic contraction.

Importantly, investors hoping for a decisive rebound once the outbreak is contained are likely to be disappointed. Choyleva points to the huge overhang of bad debts that plague China’s ageing state-run industries, as a drag on growth over several years. China’s central bank has begun to pump extra funds into the economy to maintain borrowing while the virus takes hold, mainly to boost business investment, but Choyleva said these funds, while they are cheap and plentiful, are mainly used to keep zombie companies from going bust.

Bloomberg has another article on the matter.

The impact of the spreading coronavirus risks bringing to life the worst-case economic scenarios contained in China’s annual banking stress tests. Last year’s exercise envisaged annual economic growth slowing to as low as 4.15% -- a scenario which showed that the bad loan ratio at the nation’s 30 biggest banks would rise five-fold. Analysts now say that the outbreak could send first-quarter growth to as little as 3.8%.

Banks are already suffering record loan defaults as the economy last year expanded at the slowest pace in three decades. The slump tore through the nation’s $41 trillion banking system, forcing the first bank seizure in two decades and bailouts of two other key lenders.

“The banking industry is taking a big hit,” said You Chun, a Shanghai-based analyst at National Institution for Finance & Development. “The outbreak has already damaged China’s most vibrant small businesses and if it prolongs, many firms will go under and be unable to repay their loans.”

Here's JPM economic growth estimates. Not great.
