Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

Eryngium · Feb 28, 2020

What could possibly be causing so many people to die in Iran compared to elsewhere?

Such unsolvable mysteries truly boggle the mind.

It’s misleading how they wrote it but this part got me thinking

Now, a tally of figures reported by BBC Persian's sources in several hospitals suggests at least 210 people had died across the country as of Thursday night.

The highest number of deaths were said to be in Tehran, where a disproportionately high number of officials have reportedly tested positive for Covid-19, including a vice-president, a deputy minister, and at least two MPs.

This was mostly "Just a flu" platitudes or info anyone reading the thread already has, but there were some interesting tidbits:

Recent arrivals from overseas are being monitored

Sentinel screening is being employed

IL is doing more than the Federal Govt. recommends

They've done practice runs of disrupted medical supply chain and hospital overflow scenarios

Plans are being discussed in the event that schools need to close, etc.

Two new testing centers opening in Central and Southern IL

My state is still pretty exceptional but testing centers outside of Chicago isn't a bad thing.

Springfield is home to a pretty big modern medical complex due to SIU med school in town. Champaign-Urbana and U of I are no slouches in the hospital/science dept either. The southern IL location is likely in or near Carbondale, Home of SIU. Good for them, but I'm sure Chicago is giving them headaches.

Wasn't Mexico infected months ago before Corona got widespread now and nobody saw it important to report it because "its just a flu"? So why was the new case treated as the first case?

Imagine not having universal healthcare like you're Somalia or something.

But frankly all that's a joke. In this case even the US is gonna pay your bills to save its elites from contracting it. It either is contained and we're moderately fine or bills won't matter.

I sure am glad healthcare isn't a right so we can encourage people to spread their virus around instead of going to hospitals. God bless America.

AnimePrincess · Feb 28, 2020

It only costs like 3k to get tested in the US, no big deal.

Phalanx · Feb 28, 2020

Why does this feel like its only just beginning. It is very dribs and drabs today but it feels like its going to really kick off next week. Containment does not feel like it is working in Europe.

Pirate the North Korean signal/move there, learn Best Korean and live of noodles and you'll at least get moderately accurate info. And if you move there you can be pretty safe nobody is gonna get you there with the virus since nobody would want to move to that shithole anyway, even if it meant being safe, except you of course, you brilliant son of a bitch.

Honestly just don't buy the main organisations propaganda at this point. Their political mission is to limit panic and limit hoarding so the hospitals can get the equipment they need. Accept it and deal with it. Take the news reports more seriously than those of official experts but take unofficial experts most seriously, i.e. doctors and researchers not being payed by offiicial organs, leaking stuff or doing independent resarch and publishing that.

They're full of shit. It takes a while to even develop something that looks like it works, even longer to confirm that it indeed does work by testing it on animals and humans, and another while to start mass-producing it. Multiply by N for the amount of times the supposed vaccine doesn't work.

Making declarations like this is just a way to get more funding. If you even give the impression you're on the verge of a breakthrough, money will flow like wine.

It's funny because Corona started in china which has national healthcare and should prove that every country needs to rethink their health systems in case of a pandemic. Keep on keeping on bernie bro I'm sure countries with nationalized healthcare will totally do better than america with corona chan and it's not like the government could decide to flip the bill for a pandemic or anything. It totally doesn't prove that globalization isn't a panacea and it is necessary to keep the necesaties made in your country so there isn't a shortage of materials when it comes time to need it.
