Yeah, it's all just guesswork at the moment . ( I believe ,anyway). I rely on this thread as my news aggregator for WuFlu and I don't think any harder figures have been published.
For the maths, I was just going on your numbers : 330,000,000 * 0.6 * 0.02 . Pretty much 4 million, not 800K .
Nobody around me (UK city) seems to be remotely worried at the moment. Though all sources of masks have been sold out for a while, and now I notice that foaming anti-viral handwash seems to be very hard to get hold of. So someone's stocking up.
Uncle Joe you fill me withIndeed. Remember when the Berlin Wall came down, then in short order all the Communist regimes in Eastern Europe collapsed, almost without bloodshed, then the Soviet Union also collapsed, almost without bloodshed. An incredible time to be alive. Can tell you nobody here ever expected those things to happen except through WWIII.
Can it happen in China? Anything can happen, anywhere. One thing people tend to forget is that ANY government depends on the consent of the governed to function. Things in the USA work because the vast majority of us have bought into the system. Same in the Soviet Union, and the Eastern Bloc Communist countries, until people stopped buying into the system enough that there was nowhere for the government to go. Most of these governments slipped away quietly. Romania was an example, but that fuck Ceaucescu and his bitch of a wife deserved every bullet that hit them. Russia had some violence, confined to Moscow, and there was the attempted coup. But at the appointed time President of the USSR Gorbachev handed the nuclear football to Russian President Yeltsin, he walked away, and the red flag of the USSR was replaced with the tricolor of Russia.
My advice, based having made it to the seventh decade of life - be shocked, but not surprised, at ANYTHING that happens in China. And when things happen, they can happen very quickly indeed. To those who say the CCP will never go down, my reply is that's what we thought about the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union in February 1989.
is the 14 day even accurate anymore? there was a guy who was infected for 34 days after returning from Wuhan.At least their quarantining them for 14 days.

There was a chick that was infected for something like 40 days before the symptoms started to worsen, thought it was BS but more and more cases like it are popping up, def seems like it largely fluctuates from case to case, weird, but I’m sure we’ll know a lot more in a week or two.is the 14 day even accurate anymore? there was a guy who was infected for 34 days after returning from Wuhan.

Beijing auto show delayed by coronavirus as some automakers resume production
Automakers are reopening factories in China that were idled by anti-virus controls as they try to reverse a sales slump in their biggest market. Local officials have orders from the ruling Communist Party to get businesses functioning again while still enforcing anti-disease curbs that shut...www.autoblog.com
Yikes. This virus is costing them a FUCKTON of money.
"temporary" i doubt it will ever recover to what it previously was, no matter how much slave labor they put forth to make cheap iPhones i don't think most companies will be willing to open up shop in China again. i think this will be a big wake up call to companies about how fragile china is and how everything can instantly collapse if you rely solely on import from 1 source.View attachment 1149824

Indeed:I'll say. Been following along with how much this is crippling mainland China and their economy is the thing that gives me the most schadenfreude. This is the straw that broke the CCP's back; the Achilles' Heel to their trade war with the Trump Administration. Basic needs are drying up and their bread & circus entertainment vectors are now following the same trend.
They are precariously close to having another population kill-off the likes of WWII or the Great Leap if they can't get things in their own country under control. I just hope the blowback stays localized to them and doesn't have global ramifications aside from manufacturing sectors returning to North America and elsewhere.
Oof!Some of its retail stores in the country remain closed or are operating at reduced hours, which will hurt sales this quarter. China accounted for 15% of Apple’s revenue, or $13.6 billion, last quarter, and supplied 18% of revenue in the year-ago quarter.
In late January, Apple had forecast $63 billion to $67 billion in revenue for the quarter ending in March. It did not offer a new revenue estimate nor provide a profit forecast on Monday.
“The magnitude of this impact to miss its revenue guidance midway through February is clearly worse than feared,” Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives wrote in a note.
Apple’s stock is expected to face a knee-jerk reaction on Tuesday, when Wall Street reopens after the Presidents Day holiday, Ives said.
Analysts have estimated that the virus may slash demand for smartphones by half in the first quarter in China, the world’s biggest market for the devices.
Uncle Joe you fill me within this time of uncertainty, thanks man
damn straightRemember, none of us are as dumb as all of us.
After the huge jump, case numbers are stabilizing. Up to 1873 dead. Is this the virus plateauing, or is this merely the calm before another major increase in cases, or worse, the beginning of Stage 2?
