This is disturbing.
Good thing Twitter banned Zero Hedge so that they can't spread this information as easily...
the problem is that it's zerohedge -- we don't know if its true!!

Our Chinese facility is open, but all employees that commute into the city are on a 14 quarantine, which is a little bit over half our staff, so best case... we will be back to full operations in 2 weeks.

I have a cruise booked in a few months. Need to call my TA and alter the deal, and they had better hope I dont later it any farther....especially since it is a princess cruise and I'm not too sure they will still exist as a company once those Japan cruise lawsuits come rolling in

I can't imagine the world would let the ship run out of fuel in the open ocean.. That'd be a disaster.
As far as I know no one on board the Westerndam is even sick with COVID-19.

Wonder how true it is that North Korea is being quiet because many are infected. I hear they canceled some army type show that they're always proud to show off. Couldn't imagine the poor there trying to fight this virus.
Splinter sure looking good these days.Better clean up real good.

I'd assume anyone with any logic leans towards the fudging of numbers here.

National numbers for China almost an hour late...

The number of confirmed cases reported daily in provinces outside Hubei dropped from 890 on February 3 to 444 on February 9, a drop of more than 50%
Feb 10th: +2478 total infected cases with +2079 cases in Hubei and +399 cases outside.
Quarantines work.

Is there any studies on the non asian infection rate?
Sucks for those on the ship but a country has to put its people first. How would the government be able to answer to bringing the virus into the country?
And China has to be lying with its numbers if nations are acting like this.

Some interesting and difficult ethical questions emerging from all of this.
If the virus is a lot worse than China are letting on, and they’re taking extreme action to keep it as contained as possible (alleged actions ranging from locking people in tower blocks, aggressive arrests and surreptitious mass burnings of victims), is this actually a good thing?
At best it’s a brutal example of ‘for the greater good’.
At worst it’s favouring crimes against human rights over losing face politically and requesting global assistance.
At the moment it seems somewhere in between.

I dunno. They've released numbers twice a day, every day for weeks now.
I don't see any reason they'd stop now. They released Hubei but not the rest...
Hopefully just someone missed it.

You'd think so. I read that that person was just collecting questionnaires from passengers.

Well...since we are dealing with China here....I am far more willing to believe that authoritarian governments like China have a stranglehold on the country and have many reasons to fuck with the numbers making nearly everything coming from "official sources" ripe for some side eyed viewing.
Sure, quarantines work but it is hard to believe anything coming from China. Unfortunately that is like beating a dead horse in this thread cause most of what's posted in here is so flaky.

Get over your conditioning. Propaganda ain't healthy long term. More of this so called authoritarian government's citizens freely traverse the planet for business and pleasure on a yearly basis than any other nations'. So your false diatribe is hilarious in that context.

I am under the impression that you are trolling cause there is no way anyone with half a brain could look at how China's government operates and not have "authoritarian" come to mind.
