Anybody want a Corona?

I dont think you could keep that many bodies a secret, but it is interesting.

There were massive funeral fires like enormous ones apparently.
And it’s the Chinese. Not really outside the realms of possible

CT Gov. Lamont Orders Non-Essential Businesses Closed; Urges Residents to Stay Home

Figured this would be the announcement after Cuomo's earlier today though NY was much faster in getting a list on business exemptions/definitions out.

It would be seen from commercial satellites.

4chan holocaust deniers didn't account for Chinese efficiency and can-do spirit when burning corpses.

Sorry to hear that bada.
Reading the statement it just weighed heavily on working from home yet there are so many professions in which that is simply not an option. I understand WFH has certainly become relatively common but the language came off as if it were a balanced alternative. Has she already filed or was it this order that did the job in?

[dimejinky99]

I don’t know if it’s comparable but I just saw this and it makes sense. Although frightening. When our look at the population of the US and the complete lack of testing to scale.
I can easily see the 10 million infected by April figure manifesting now

Our county just reported its first positive case.

Josephine County, Oregon? Because they just announced their first too.

Putnam County, TN.

My clinic hasn’t had to test yet. Our company hasn’t been able to get the n95 masks so they’re not really pushing to do any testing. We’re all supposed to have small supplies of the masks come in Monday and with those, any excuses not to test go out the window. If we have the masks and we don’t test, we, in all likelihood, will no longer have a job.

Any body who remotely has any medical knowledge will become invaluable over the next six months.

The WHO chief is essentially a Chinese political appointee.

China and the WHO's chief: Hold them both accountable for pandemic

From the outset, Tedros has defended China despite its gross mismanagement of the highly contagious disease. As the number of cases and the death toll soared, the WHO took months to declare the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, even though it had met the criteria of transmission between people, high fatality rates and worldwide spread.
...
When President Trump took a critical step to stop the coronavirus at U.S. borders by issuing a travel ban as early as Jan. 31, Tedros said widespread travel bans and restrictions were not needed to stop the outbreak and could "have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit." He warned that interfering with transportation and trade could harm efforts to address the crisis, and advised other countries not to follow the U.S. lead.

When he should have been focusing on global counter-pandemic efforts, Tedros instead was politicizing the crisis and helping Xi to shirk his responsibility for a series of wrongdoings in addressing the outbreak. Tedros used the WHO platform to defend the Chinese government's gross violation of human rights. For example, from its first case discovered in November to its Wuhan lockdown, and even until today, China has been dishonest about the coronavirus's origin and prevalence. People who tried to uncover it were detained or disappeared, their online reports and posts deleted. China has misinformed and misled the world, and Tedros joined this effort by publicly praising China's "transparency" in battling the spread of the disease.
...
China recently pledged $20 million to help the WHO fight the COVID-19 outbreak, for which Tedros thanked Xi. But we note China's connections to Tedros's homeland of Ethiopia, now called East Africa's "Little China" because it has become China's bridgehead to influence Africa and a key to China's Belt and Road initiative there. Indeed, China has invested heavily in Ethiopia.

Tedros was elected to his position with the WHO in 2017, despite the fact that he was not trained as a medical doctor and had no global health management experience. A former minister of health and minister of foreign affairs for Ethiopia, Tedros is an executive member of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) political party, which came to power through a struggle in 1991 and has been listed as a perpetrator in the Global Terrorism Database. After he became the WHO's chief, critics questioned Tedros's attempt to appoint then-Zimbabwe dictator Robert Mugabe as a WHO goodwill ambassador.

The coronavirus pandemic has shown that Tedros is not fit to lead the WHO. Because of his leadership, the world may have missed a critical window to halt the pandemic or mitigate its virulence. The world is now battling rising infections and many countries have imposed restrictions. As leader of the WHO, Tedros should be held accountable for his role in mismanaging efforts to control the spread of the virus.

This is exactly what I said to you earlier

Missed that sorry trag

Safe to say the Chinese are definitely lying.

Italy’s death rate has passed China’s and they have a far superior health system and a far smaller population.

China is cooking the books. Death rate has to be much higher than reported.

They're setting up for another White House briefing; Cuomo is much better at that part than Trump.

Oh my god

”With our coronavirus patients, once they’re on ventilators, most need about the highest settings that we can do. About 90% oxygen, and 16 of PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure, which keeps the lung inflated. This is nearly as high as I’ve ever seen. The level we’re at means we are running out of options.

“In my experience, this severity of ARDS is usually more typical of someone who has a near drowning experience — they have a bunch of dirty water in their lungs — or people who inhale caustic gas. Especially for it to have such an acute onset like that. I’ve never seen a microorganism or an infectious process cause such acute damage to the lungs so rapidly. That was what really shocked me.”

That's assuming adequate testing.

I realise this is a 4chan thread so proceed with caution, however data from mobile phone carriers suggest China's true COVID-19 death toll may number in the millions: http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/2492 ... -deaths-in

I would guess that the real number is higher than zero and less than "millions." The Chinese government and 4chan are equally worthless for honest, accurate information.
