Not much to do but wait for the container ships to stop arriving and reserve supplies to dry up. US gets 95% of prescription medicine from China, will be interesting to see what happens when that dries up.

Then the domestic med plants add a 2nd shift/extend worker's hours and eat into their profits for a month. I doubt there's a capacity issue when talking about US manufacturing capability.

I have said it before but shit like this will be what causes the biggest problem. A lot of politicians are going to have to answer some really sticky questions. Big pharma about to get shit on big time.
Best possible outcome? US passes legislation that requires companies that want to do business at all in the US make 30-50% of all drugs in the country with 100% US sourced supplies. The prices will go up but the diversification will help for the future.
Higher prices means fewer Doctors getting people hooked on opiods and other legal addictive drugs that Big Pharma pedals to the uninformed. Weed getting legalized to help with pain would be the icing on the cake.

too late Delta too late
Delta is reaching out to Hawaii-Japan passengers after coronavirus scare
Delta Air Lines said today it is “proactively reaching out” to its passengers who recently traveled on one of its flights between Honolulu and Nagoya, Japan, after it became aware that two passengers on that flight are being reportedly treated for the novel coronavirus.

It could have a bigger impact than that if it conit he’s like this. The PS4 sold more than a million consoles on launch day alone. Sony and Microsoft will likely begin production of launch units relatively soon. These companies are undoubtedly already working on preproduction planning and contracting factories to make millions of devices. If this drags on for a while, it’ is conceivable that it could affect the launch of the next generation of consoles.
Right now, Nintendo is trying to keep up with demand. Sony and Microsoft are trying to launch a console which requires far more stock. At minimum, Sony and MS are having meetings concerning contingency plans right now.

Sony is going to delay and put this as the reason for the delay but the truth is they are seriously worried about the cost of the PS5 and a delay using this reason can only help them push back launch hoping costs drops.

OLD NEWS, MAN!
Mask Efficacy |OT| Wuhan!! Got You All In Check
💨🤔💨 This looks like some panic shit. Nothing about that looks like an effective medical measure.
Also, an informative thread:
Based on 72K cases.
Only 1 teenager died, but 50+ jumps up big, and the CFR for 80+ is 14.8%! It's an old person murderer!
Today's first numbers...
+1807 new cases
+93 new deaths
+1223 new recovery cases
It is still spreading faster than they're getting healed, but it's getting close.
Very surprised to see the deaths dropping, that doesn't make sense to me.

I'll wait for the second numbers, I believe the numbers are a designed release
so I expect deaths to just break the 100 mark
I don't really trust the numbers but I do believe the old people are the ones dying

Even if we see launch this holiday, this situation will certainly affect the launch. At minimum, this virus is further stressing component supply chains that were already struggling to keep up with demand. Factories that were already contracted to make certain products may not be able to begin new projects (PS4 and XBoxes) until the former contracts are completed. These weeks of factories being shut down will have ripples for a while to come.
Hopefully, everyone can get healthy as soon as possible and get us back to normalcy quickly.

I'll give this 3 more months of chaos the delays are a given. Apple has already made a statement of warning the other companies will have to follow as everyone should expect that you can't lockdown over 700 million people for a month without work without paying a great price.
that is a huge work force that was locked down, I think right now is too early 3 more months and we should know how bad it gets for company products

tbh I expect to see that a lot since they're rushing people back. It probably won't be bad enough to shut everything down again nationwide, but there will be pop-ups all over the place impacting business.
I wonder how normal viruses impact their factories?

I know people dying from this is heartbreaking, but, damn, the pets.
If you ever had a cat or dog, that lived on for 20-25 years, you'd understand this facet too.. This is heartbreaking too, and so sad.. alongside the human side of it all.

Fuck me, never lived in a place where tap water is that bad..

The water quality really will depend on how old or well maintained your building is. It's typically not mains water but from a tank on the roof, don't take any chances buy bottled water for drinking and brushing teeth.

Unless these scientists were ones that worked in the bioweapons research facility, they are still just civilians with no inside information. Being scientists they should be able to show thier working out not just present a conclusion.

It would make since if this was a failed, chinese specific, vaccine for one of their "white and black" people killing bioweapons that got out.
If you go by some old speeches by CCP brass they have a plan to cleanse North America of all whites, blacks and Mexicans. They are basically Nazis and believe in Eugenics.
Of coarse being a certain kind of Chinese makes you the chosen people. It's scary that we do business with these evil fucks.
Of coarse if they ever let the real thing loose the US and Russia would hit them with weaponized small pox (both countries have it) or we would just end the world in nuclear fire.

none of the conspiracy stuff will ever be proven. I'll always have trouble believing it even if it were true
I just think if you are going to build a virus as a weapon you can do or should do much better than this

Coronavirus: Largest study suggests elderly and sick are most at risk
The deadliness of the virus advances progressively with the age of the patient, research suggests.
www.bbc.com
Largest Study thus far done by the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC) looked at all 72,314 cases of COVID-19 as of Feb 11, and have reached these conclusions:
- Some 80.9% of infections are classified as mild, 13.8% as severe and only 4.7% as critical.
- For children up to 9, there have been no fatalities and up to the age of 39, the death rate remains low at 0.2%.
- The highest fatality rate is for people aged 80 and older (14.8%)
- Identifying which existing illnesses put patients at risk, the study finds cardiovascular disease at number one, followed by diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and hypertension
- the paper says that a total of 3,019 health workers have been infected and five had died by 11 February
- the paper found that "the epidemic curve of onset of symptoms" peaked around 23-26 January before declining up to 11 February.

You can believe in Eugenics, and not be a Nazi.
There is nothing inherently wrong with Eugenics.
And people already practice this to a large degree.

Japan prepares for widespread coronavirus outbreak | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News
As cases of the coronavirus emerge around the country, Japanese health officials are finding it increasingly difficult to identify the routes of infection. The government has announced it is stepping up screening efforts and will have the capacity to test 3,800 people a day starting on Tuesday.

And neutering/killing peasant dogs.
But there's nothing much to explain.
Eugenics are about picking and promoting "good genes".
People are already doing genetic testing at the prenatal phase on the fetus, to determine if doesn't have undesirable disease or traits. Opting to abort it if does. Same when looking for sperm-donors that have desirable physical and other attributes, etc.
Nowadays there's almost no outside enviromental pressure or threats, meaning genetic mutations and defects can easily accumulate and live on, since they are not culled due to natural causes.
People will do genetic modification on their babies, it's inevitable too.

The one positive is we'll be able to see how things are actually improving by the manufacturing results in China. If everything is getting better, they'll be ramping up ASAP and everything will be back to normal.
If they've been suppressing how bad it really is, we won't see this uptick, or it will be significantly smaller than expected.
If they continue to keep whole cities locked down, even after "everything is fine", we'll clearly know they're full of shit.
I doubt we'll ever get fixed, or accurate numbers of cases and deaths sadly, though I'd just go on and expect them to have been higher.
