Don't you worry folks! The good people at WHO at hard at work on what really matters: combating disinformation!



this includes addressing rumors by publishing Mythbusters and live Q interviews with experts on our website and social channels and through the media. Third we are also engaging with search, social and digital companies such as Facebook, Google, Tencent, Baidu, Twitter, tik tok, Weibo, Pinterest and others. We're asking them to filter out false information and promote accurate information from credible sources like WHO, CDC and others and we thank them for their efforts so far. Finally we are we are connecting with influencers through Instagram and YouTube among others to help spread factual messages to their followers with a focus on Asia specific region. In essence to fight the flood of misinformation we're building a band of truth tellers that disburse fact and debunk myths.

Depends if it keeps spreading or slows down and is eventually contained.

I don't think this is the pandemic that movies like Contagion imagine, but that pandemic is coming soon.

This if anything gives a glimpse as to what that will look like.

Chinese Whistleblower says real death toll is 50,000 -- but there are also 1.5 million confirmed cases.

The bad news is that, if this is accurate, the Chinese have indeed been underreporting massively. The good news is that it would mean the fatality rate is still only 3.3%.
It really depend, the data shown so far show that it take a long time for the disease to run its course, one way or the other, for example, the whistleblower doctor took 20 days from symptoms to death.
Then again, if this is true then this data is worthless anyways.

It’s hard to say. The CCP definitely isn’t above understating the real figure but there is just no
way to know for sure.

I am really looking forward to seeing the cruise ship cases playing out in Japan, and praying for a low death rate there. We are now up to 70 who have NCOV on the cruise ship. It remains our best bet in studying in detail the transmission and infectiousness of this disease without the lies of the Red Chinese government getting in the way. I pray that we see a very mild and encouraging result, for the sake of all those people aboard her, and the world generally.

Comparing the number of infected people to the number who have died from it already doesn't tell you the real death rate. For that, you want the ratio of people who were infected and have completely recovered vs those who died.

You have been weighed
No idea but if that's what disposal of single use med supplies involve than that can be it if someone checks closer. But the disposal of dead bodies is more believable.
I mean, if I was a betting man I'd bet that its all kinds of shit. Human bodies, animals/organic contaminates, medical supplies, biohazards of all kinds.

But theres probably no good way to tell how much of what.

Probably not, so I would take it that we shouldn't jump to conclusions, but still remain skeptical of the communist Chinese?

Now up to 135.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
One, I’m very fucking scared about what’s happening because I’ve studied the matter altogether too closely and determined that this virus has the potential to brutally kill millions.

Two, a panic would depress the economy to the point where adequate pandemic response would be crippled. If people knew the truth, the DOW, NASDAQ, and Shanghai exchanges would plummet to the point where we’d struggle to manufacture masks, ventilators, and all sorts of necessary equipment.

Brace yourselves. This is going to get interesting.
We are living in interesting times again. One shit to another.

I've seen the future...
Treat the source of this with caution, but North Korea may already have cases as well. It’s worse for them if this is true considering the dismal state of their “health care”and they can’t really just shut off their border as they need trade of some goods with China just to survive as is.
