Apparently its extremely serious, much more than the chinese government is letting on.Isn't this just a bad flu which will fade into the background like the swine flu, bird flu etc

Nah, I've read the Caf steak thread, there's feckers in there that think the only way to cook meat is to give it the most fleeting glimpse of an unlit match. Live rodents would be hors d'oeuvre to them.
It's people panicking because they've got a slight coughOkay ive just seen some of the vids on twitter from wuhan. What the absolute shit.

Que?Over under 4000 dead by the end
Putting $100 on the underOver under 4000 dead by the end
There are not dead people people on hospital floors due to the virus.Yes, and I've read today that a doctor's died. There's dead people on hospital floors with patients sitting around the bodies. It's horrific.
Nah it's the usual sharemongering media bullshit.Apparently its extremely serious, much more than the chinese government is letting on.
What videos?Okay ive just seen some of the vids on twitter from wuhan. What the absolute shit.
How exactly do you know that it isn’t true?There are not dead people people on hospital floors due to the virus.
There’s a lot of nonsense doing the rounds online. People falling over. A weird containment vehicle at an airport. None of it is connected to the virus.
Probably the ones that are not-so-subtly trying to imply a zombie outbreak is about to start.What videos?
Thirty seconds of critical thought and checks. Helped by the fact I have two friends that read Chinese admittedly.How exactly do you know that it isn’t true?
Liverpool open top bus celebrations?This is becoming pretty scary for me. We have Carnival coming up where people from all over the world come here in their masses. I’m dreading someone bringing this with them.
Well,I finally have use for this:Probably the ones that are not-so-subtly trying to imply a zombie outbreak is about to start.

It's because it's a new virus that we don't have any effective treatments for yet, so the ones with more severe symptoms need to be hospitalised. The hospitals don't have the capacity to deal right now, so they're putting up temporary hospitals to help deal with the influx of patients. A lot of those hospitalised likely wouldn't have been if they presented exactly the same symptoms, but it was caused by a regular old flu virus.This is absolutely nuts. Theyre building a special hospital in 144 HOURS!
its much much more serious than we think.
Get a hold of yourself, man!Apparently its extremely serious, much more than the chinese government is letting on.
Chickens, cows and pigs doesn't transmit deadly viruses?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZoonosisHaven't our immune systems become used to their viruses as we lived in close proximity with them for thousands of years. Civilisations that haven't been in contact with these animal in the same way that Europeans, Asians and Africans have would likely suffer. I think this is one of the reasons disease spread when Europeans arrived on the Americans and came into contact with the natives who did not have an immunity.
Yeah sure... China's got 40 odd million quarantined because of slight caugh. Never heard such nonsense...It's people panicking because they've got a slight cough
They don’t have millions quarantined. Never heard such nonsense.Yeah sure... China's got 40 odd million quarantined because of slight caugh. Never heard such nonsense...

Almost impossible to contain if that's trueVery unhelpfully it is now thought to spread before the infected are symptomatic.
We are at 2000 cases confirmed and 50 odd deaths. It doesn't look likely that this will be contained to me.

Some are suggesting that the R0 is much higher as well which would make it a disaster. I mean even if the mortality rate is as low as it's claimed, if you have a quarter of the world's population infected, that would still be a major catastrophe, you'd still get 50 million deaths, which would surpass Spanish Flu for total deaths.Almost impossible to contain if that's true
I mean if 2000 are known to be infected now and they have potentially been infected for a week without knowing then depending how easy it transmits it's easy to see that those 2000 could have passed it to many times more and those they have passed it to again passed it to many more againSo could the reports indicating this could well be in the 100's of thousands actually be true? As opposed to the 2000 we have confirmed?
Might be, because most people don't get seriously ill from it, so a lot will probably have thought it a regular cold or flu and just stayed in bed until they felt better.So could the reports indicating this could well be in the 100's of thousands actually be true? As opposed to the 2000 we have confirmed?
2000 confirmed cases, the actual number of infected could be 10x that. In addition, plenty of people will rock up at the hospital because they have a cough and now think they're going to die.What I don't understand is if there's 2000 reported cases spread across different cities and that some will have been cured already, why is it that hospitals are overflowing? Surely cities like Wuhan would have the capacity to deal with a lot more cases?
NoSo could the reports indicating this could well be in the 100's of thousands actually be true? As opposed to the 2000 we have confirmed?
Yes. I’m denying that. Read beyond headlines. Nobody leaves without being checked. That’s containment, not quarantine.They're under soft quarantine, are you denying that?

The only way anyone is leaving Wuhan and neighbouring cities at the moment is on foot. Every form of public transport plus highways are locked down. This is all openly admitted and confirmed. I'm in Jiangsu at the moment which isn't hit too badly as far as we are aware but still very nervous. Staying inside as much as possible and making sure to be ultra-hygienic. Even here the buses are shut and there are lots of temperature checks going on around town and at the train station. Going back to Shanghai in a few days, then going to plan what to do from there.Yes. I’m denying that. Read beyond headlines. Nobody leaves without being checked. That’s containment, not quarantine.
Chinese people can still move around the country and through those places. Businesses are still operational.
It’s not good, as I’ve said elsewhere. But you need to apply a little common sense if you own any. If you think it’s a ‘Soft Quarantine’, don’t use the word Quarantine in a dramatic fashion that sees you overstate. It’s juvenile.
