Since China's "back to work" today, in many areas, I fear things are about to go from bad to worse.

It seems they are not "back to work" as we had been lead to believe. Many places can only open if they meet requirements to prevent infection. Lots of staff either working from home or refusing to go to work until they feel safe.. movie theatres, schools and entertainment places where crowds could gather are still shut.

 

[jts]

Gross.

This guy is simply trying to get people killed. I would love to see his face as he’s found out and taken to a corner to be put out of his misery on the spot.

I saw a report somewhere that said only 10% of a factories employees showed up today. With the anywhere from 7-21 day incubation period.. we won't know if this is bad for a couple more weeks.

I’d like to think that he thought he had but only had a bad cold, until he infected himself by accident out of spite.

I will always use my keys or something else to push elevator buttons

Just use a kid. They love pushing the elevator buttons.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Again.. with them being shifty with the #s this doesn't mean a whole lot.

People ARE dying outside Hubei, which didn't happen for a while, but the #'s overall are still very small.

well at least the second update did not have a huge change

did we find out why they have 2 updates per day?

wtf? is he pissing on the buttons?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Now I wonder if China is going to use this to become a full Security State

China is using its authoritarian arsenal to crack down on anyone who might spread the Wuhan virus | CNN

As Chinese authorities struggle to contain the deadly Wuhan coronavirus, they are increasingly turning to a sophisticated authoritarian playbook honed over decades of cracking down on dissidents to enforce quarantines and lockdowns across the country.

edition.cnn.com

they were already watching people but now they don't really care if the world knows about it

I got to watch a bit more NHK World because the video from Dr. Campbell said Japan just did not have a capacity to test all 3,000 people on the cruiseship

if Japan does not have the Capacity we must be missing a lot of these cases in other places

 

[Captain Zyrain]

well at least the second update did not have a huge change

The first update is just Hubei province (with Wuhan) the 2nd update is for the rest of China.

Since the 2nd update has been low since.. forever.. it does not APPEAR to be spreading en masse across China like it did in Wuhan/Hubei. Is this because they're under-counting or miscounting or obfuscating the numbers? Maybe?

They've locked down a lot of area with a very low number of cases in them, but perhaps that is the right move since they didn't do that in Wuhan, and look where they are now.

MAINLAND CHINA	Cases	Deaths	Notes	Links
Hubei province (including Wuhan)	31,728	974	5,046 serious, 1,298 critical	Source
Other regions	10,910	42	979 serious/critical	Source
TOTAL	42,638	1,016	7,333 serious 3,996 recovered 21,675 suspected

So you can see, Hubei/Wuhan has 3 times as many cases as the rest of China combined, and 23 times the deaths!

The 7333 serious is the number to watch for potential deaths.

Go

away

table!

Shoo!

Shoo!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Okay I just watched an update on NHK World
they are only testing selected passengers on that ship based on age and symptoms

that ship if fucked I don't understand why Japan is not more aggressive on this smh

They are probably hoping by limiting the exposure they'll just wait out the infection.. But with the variable level of incubation.. It probably would have been better to get them off. At least they're in port though but I'd hate to be stuck in an inside cabin. Those suck when you're cruising for fun let alone imprisoned there!

See that video of the security man falling over, scary bruh.

 

[JordanN]

Gross.

And this is why I always wear gloves or use the edge of my shirt to touch things in public.

I've seen too many public health violations that I would never put my human hands near any surface. I even still carry hand sanitizer just in case for stuff in the video.

Do you think one could sue the government for such measures?

 

[Captain Zyrain]

I don't know the intricacies of Japanese law but I would guess they have some right to limit their travel if they're suspected of being infected with something.

It's a weird circumstance all around. I would have thought the ship would have been fine for a few days but if this keeps dragging on.. Imagine being stuck in your room for a month!

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Supposedly someone in San Diego has now tested positive.. After they tested them as negative yesterday.

So in case there are any questions that China is fudging the numbers a subreddit figured out the math formula they are using for their fake numbers :

ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

www.zerohedge.com

The subreddit OP figured out the daily death numbers for the last 10 days within like 10 - 50 or so.

If I'm right, this near perfect "Chinese Propaganda" quadratic model will provide the world press and the WHO with the following numbers over the next few days:

• 05/02/2020 23435 cases 489 fatalities
• 06/02/2020 26885 cases 561 fatalities
• 07/02/2020 30576 cases 639 fatalities
• 08/02/2020 34506 cases 721 fatalities
• 09/02/2020 38675 cases 808 fatalities
• 10/02/2020 43084 cases 900 fatalities
• 11/02/2020 47733 cases 997 fatalities

Quite sad, considering all the commendations for transparency bestowed upon China by the WHO!

Uh, it's just a line of best fit. It's pretty clear from that zerohedge article that it didn't predict anything.

Also, the guy at zerohedge has no idea what a quadratic function is.

Way too much nutbar bullshit being posted in this thread.

According to some of the email I got from some electronics companies, they are running at 50% (one shift I think) for now. But that is down in the Pearl River Delta cities.

Still my customer is about 10 days from running out of a critical part, and their customer will be down ~ 3 days later. Air shipments are taking 3-4 days extra since they have to be... rerouted.

We haven’t been able to get hardware for over a year at any consistent rate and we are getting hit again by this. China has been interesting to say the least lately. At least to me is a serious enough reason to see the delays.

I'm talking about automotive electronics. Unpopulated/Bare PCBs.

I can't speak for the consumer electronics side of things, but I am fairly sure it is just as bad for them as it is for me.

Is there a sedative or some kind of taser where these kind of results could realistically occur in such a short time? She does look pretty dead and the police are visibly disturbed.

Hubei got overwhelmed. When your health system collapses, those are the numbers you are getting. You can't get respirators for thousands of people, there are like a dozen in a hospital. Can't suddenly mass produce them either. So when you are suddenly confronted with 50 people needing them - you have lost the fight. Wuhan is just managing the crisis, they don't control it in any way. The serious patients will have to survive on their own (with some help of medication to strengthen their immune system, but that's it).

Polynomials fit data, news at 11.

Here's a math fact for you, polynomials are a basis for L^2. In English, this means you can fit any* function on a finite interval to a polynomial with arbitrary precision.

*square integrable

So the news has been saying the UK had to change the rules on Quarantine because one of those evacurated tried to leave so the law was changed to forced them to stay in quarantine

but- the guy we have been following says nope that never happened no one tried to leave


Ben using the words fake news makes me less willing to trust him over the news reports of why UK powered up the rules

Hyperbole much? Right now it looks like it's mostly deadly to old male Asian smokers with a precondition in Hubei. We are far away from half the population. The death rates outside of Hubei are at 0.16 %.
