This 1 is going to outrace any attempts at control & certainly be seeded all over the world before we're even close to a safe, effective vaccine.

If this hasn't been posted yet then I'm happy to be the one to inform everyone it's officially okay to lose your shit.
Even if 5% of that number is infected, that's a lot of ticking time bombs ready to go off.
 
We need to have someone on this board from within the Wuhan district. I've been scouring to find photos of what's happening in Wuhan and there is just a blanket over the darn place.

I've never seen such control exerted over a region in China in terms of information control to this level. Anyone have any CDC type contacts or reach in China?

Earlier, Canada held a FEDERAL level presser on our first case. He's in stable condition. Reason for federal presser in my opinion? They learned from the patient earlier today that he was already feeling ill while on the flight. You can bet he was asked that a hundred times by paramedics, intake staff, isolation staff & anyone working at that hospital... yet he waited until this morning to admit that?

So, NOW they're hurrying to contact those on his flight but assure us that unless someone was sitting right near him, there's a low risk level. Reporters aren't stupid. He & others would have walked up & down the tiny aisle, toughing seat backs. Airplane bathrooms are tiny & every time I use them, there are water droplets from splashing everywhere... then there's the toilet paper roll...

Me, I'm going to be very surprised if there is not at least 1 more case off that flight - very surprised.

And this the worst and scariest part about pandemics like this; if someone is either unware, clueless or even afraid to admit they have symptoms they can inadvertently fuck over everyone else by giving the virus a free ride into places. People are also just unaware or assume they can't catch it either which doesnt help either.

I read that - two rows around.,that’s optimistic to say the least. That rule has been proven false: paper here: http://archive.is/wip/dSf45

So anything carried by droplets on a plane exposes anyone breathing the same air. Secondly they’ve already said that it can be transmitted via surfaces (fomite transmission) which you’d expect for a. Iris like that. Anyone on a plane with a case was potentially exposed. Anyone sitting next to them in the airport or by them in a queue is potentially exposed. Anyone using the same toilet, tray table, hand rail etc is potentially exposed.
For context, Ebola needs direct contact - unless someone is bleeding out on you then you could be sat right by them and not catch it. Ebola is VERY contagious in that it needs very few particles to start a new infection but those particles need to be transmitted quite directly (contact with body fluids.)

yes. gleaning content from everything posted so far it looks like the gov't didn't really kick things into gear until around the 21st, and even after that they were telling people the situation was already under control. by then it was already too late, as we're finding out now that the virus may have up to a 2 week incubation period.

I mean, not to mention the smallest little bug becomes so easily transmissible in an airplane, because you're breathing the same recycled air for hours. I always get shitty respiratory illnesses after plane travel.

Worth noting though that even people in the incubation period are contagious. We sort of knew this already from the Lancet report yesterday, but it wasn't until this morning that media finally confirmed and expanded on the info.

Hospital staff in Wuhan are wearing adult diapers because they don't have time to pee while caring for an overwhelming number of coronavirus patients

Wuhan went under quarantine on Wednesday, leaving local hospitals alone to treat an immense number of patients who contracted the novel coronavirus.

They most likely added some chlorine solution to the water to santize it from contamination,knowing how china operates they probily added so much they made the water itself toxic :o

high amounts of chlorine will react with copper (assuming that the chinese use copper piping in buildings, who knows). metal leeching into tap water is more common than you think (yeah, link is about lead pipes, but metal reacts with bleach). again, overshooting from above instead of just telling people to boil water or filter with carbon/charcoal filters...
 
After seeing many videos of doctors, nurses and civilians freaking out, critiquing their local government like that, risking their lives posting it online, I hope that the chinese will see how fucked up their leaders truly are. The brainwashing spell will probably start to show some cracks. I honestly feel for the chinese who know whats going on

Folks, the shit's rapidly hitting the fan, and I mean by the carload into a huge bank of industrial-grade fans. This nurse and her compatriots have seen nothing yet, sad to say. Would love to be a fly on the wall of Xi's "war room" in Beijing. Bet we'd learn things almost beyond our comprehension.
