Thanks. Appreciate what you are doing here with the translations and providing some perspective.
so If they are reporting 1000 that would mean 20,000 infections? Holy crap that is scary as ****!?!Ag In Ok said:

holy ***** i just got chills reading this big time.erudite said:
Video part two:
I have very bad news, preliminary government info has stated that the virus has further mutated into a 2nd generation. In other words, in the first generation, we could treat the patient. Upon the 2nd stage evolution the virus is lethal, the infection ratio is no longer 1:14, but is explosive (exponential). Everyone must hold strong, do not go outside, do not meet people, do not eat out. Thank you everyone.
Send me anything in Chinese and I can translate it aside from maybe the local accents.
According to the analysis that was posted above, it is predicted to be worse than SARS.erudite said:I cannot tell you because I do not know. It is possible if she was not censored. However, if it was from telegram I do not think that the government would deliberately loose face.HumpitPuryear said:
couple of observations about this, specifically the lady reporting from Wuhan....
There's also news coming out that authorities are running out of test kits, ie they can't actually confirm infections any longer. Did they really have the resources in Wuhan to verify 90,000 infections? That seems like a wild number.
Regarding the mutations, is that a likely thing to happen already and would the government even let that info get circulated?
There's a major emphasis in both videos about staying put at home and not making contact with anyone. There could be various motives here. Someone earlier mentioned Hong Kong activists. Could the government even be OVER hyping this in an effort to keep people in one place and hammer the message that staying home is safer for them (and less likely to spread the infection, create civil disobedience, and otherwise stress government resources trying to respond)? Staying home seems like really good advice. Could the government be using some scare tactics to drive home the point?
Link to test kit source, I do not know.
Her statement with infection implies it was something she overheard. And likely no.
I will tell you when my source outside the outbreak zone (small town of ~3M people) tells me when they start sealing off likes SARS. Then we will know it is worse then SARS. During the SARS outbreak they would quarantine the entire building, street, city. You would haves armed units turn back people from all major cities.
You are underestimating the role of lunar new year. China has very few national holidays with days off and Chinese people work 6 day weeks. Lunar new year is one of the few 2+ days off on the calendar. That and many people see their family once a year and it is then.
Japan would certainly risk as would like to visit, but I would avoid the mainland for now.Ag_07 said:
So I've got a buddy who's traveling with his wife in Seoul right now. They're scheduled to go to Japan in the next few days then on to Thailand.
I told him he's nuts and even though it's not China I wouldn't be caught anywhere in any Asian country. Much less traveling.
Key Findings:Ag In Ok said:
Page 1 key finding 2 - only 5.1% of cases are estimated to have been identified. I stopped right there
Quote:
We estimate the basic reproductive number of the infection (0) to be significantly greater than one. We estimate it to be between 3.6 and 4.0, indicating that 72-75% of transmissions must be prevented by control measures for infections to stop increasing.
We estimate that only 5.1% (95%CI, 4.85.5) of infections in Wuhan are identified, indicating a large number of infections in the community, and also reflecting the difficulty in detecting cases of this new disease. Surveillance for this novel pathogen has been launched very quickly by public health authorities in China, allowing for rapid assessment of the speed of increase of cases in Wuhan and other areas.
If no change in control or transmission happens, then we expect further outbreaks to occur in other Chinese cities, and that infections will continue to be exported to international destinations at an increasing rate. In 14 days' time (4 February 2020), our model predicts the number of infected people in Wuhan to be greater than 250 thousand (prediction interval, 164,602 to 351,396). We predict the cities with the largest outbreaks elsewhere in China to be Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Chongqing and Chengdu. We also predict that by 4 Feb 2020, the countries or special administrative regions at greatest risk of importing infections through air travel are Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea.
Our model suggests that travel restrictions from and to Wuhan city are unlikely to be effective in halting transmission across China; with a 99% effective reduction in travel, the size of the epidemic outside of Wuhan may only be reduced by 24.9% on 4 February.
There are important caveats to the reliability of our model predictions, based on the assumptions underpinning the model as well as the data used to fit the model. These should be considered when interpreting our findings.
Yeah... I'm not plannning my working from home for a month plan yet.Rapier108 said:
Oh good grief.
the bio agents i posted are factual. IF the purported video is factual, then there is at significant possibilty that this is a major worldwide issue. it is certainly an absolutely unprecedented local issue in china already. they are 100% certainly lying about the truth of the matter.Rapier108 said:

Hopefully A&M, if are smart, tested other people that the individual came in contact with to see if they are already infected.
HIPPA I think. Layman EMS understand we are not allow to disclose under any reasons.

If the case is confirmed I believe the CDC or State Department of Health Services would be sending people to make a contact tree. Could be wrong there but I doubt it. Feel for the folks back there, wish they'd confirm whether or not it's a case.scottimus said:Rapier108 said:They won't even inform people they might have been exposed because it would "violate the patient's privacy."scottimus said:aezmvp said:The fun starts when they do the case histories and find that people who didn't travel in the West haveyukmonkey said:

You would think that for the sake of national security and a viral pandemic...they would let that slide.

If you want to believe this is some Soviet/Russian bio weapon, knock yourself out.
That is just way too far out there. Occam's razor is almost always right about stuff like this, not the outrageous doomsday theories.

im not suggesting run to the desert and hide.
but i am going to top off the gas, water and food, and stay away from crowds for a week and see how this plays out.
if you dont do the same, you are unwise, IMO.
mocking it is worse.
You will find they got it from being in proximity to someone who did travel to China though in almost all certainty.aezmvp said:The fun starts when they do the case histories and find that people who didn't travel in the West have it.yukmonkey said:

Do you guys know at least which part of the campus to avoid, which building went to?Tramp96 said:
If it is an A&M student, and the university knows who it is, the university can release the information because at that point it would fall under FERPA (because FERPA trumps HIPPA if the record can be classified as a FERPA record), and FERPA allows for the release of information without student consent in a health or safety emergency.
The catch here is A&M would have to know who it is.
Nope, because they won't tell anyone, anything.titan said:Do you guys know at least which part of the campus to avoid, which building went to?Tramp96 said:

Another point. Even if all was stipulated, the assumption that 21st Century China chose to replicate that Soviet stuff and build it in just the past decade does not at all follow from the first.Rapier108 said:
