Wait... the Chinese went from claiming 800 cases to 90k just like that?
That sounds like a close to real number for last week I would guess
Person in the video said 90k. Govt says 800.

Rotary International has been trying to wipe out Polio in Pakistan forever and it's still there. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Captain Trips isn't getting stopped there.
I think US still is at 2 confirmed, Washington and Chicago. Waco and TAMU still unconfirmed

I saw reference to statements Trump made today where he said 3. #3 is at Tenn Tech
Yeah Bloomberg posted on their platforms this morning, 2 cases in Chicago, 1 in TN, and 1 at A&M
So Trump doesn't seem concerned at least outwardly. I wonder if he's downplaying to avoid panic or if he thinks China is being truthful or maybe they are telling the administration something they aren't telling the public? Seems weird considering how much Trump despises China. Or underlings aren't being truthful?

"(My) Husband relative is a Wuhan city management official. Internal news, 100k people infected."Zemira said:Is that an accurate translation?lunchbox said:
Twitter message above pic means "It's someone I know please trust them" yadda yadda.
FYI: "city management" is a branch of officials/police that basically get stuck with **** nobody wants to do. They are pretty famous for:
1) being the worst of the worst
2) enforcing **** nobody likes
3) beating people to death
4) Getting mob lynched
So grain of salt.
Double edit: should also mention that those dudes are the butt of a joke that they can do anything because they are so counterproductive/ destructive.Ex:
"The PLA could never conquer Taiwan or the US, give me three hundred Chengguan and they will swim across the Pacific to conquer the USA before the 7th fleet leaves port!"
I thought CDC was tracking 68 in 22 states.
Yes 68 possible, 2 confirmed.mathguy86 said:

This could mean something like "President Xi has been transparent with us behind the scenes. We now know it is not some bio-weapon, but rather is xyz" or "we now know it is this [blank] germ weapon, and they already have the cure and its just a matter of applying C"Zemira said:

The remark about sure it will work out suggests some knowledge.

He's working a trade deal. Everything he does is calculating.
I'm wondering if that tweet is intended to put pressure on China to be more transparent. That way if all hell breaks loose China is exposed for covering this up. Trump can then put forth all official communication from the Commies showing that we could only respond based on the info provided by them.

Lets be honest. There is just no way you could trust any data coming out of Chinaright now...nothingever.
I do need to reread The Stand.
I would imagine he know far, far more than almost anyone else in the US, including all of those who are treating Twitter as the gospel. Not only would he be getting briefings from the CDC, but from our intelligence agencies, and DOD.Zemira said:

I'm praying its better than I'm thinking.
Here is the transcript from CDCs teleconference from this morning, for those interested.
https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/t0124-Telebriefing-Coronavirus.html
One of the doctors state the test takes 4-6 hours, which beggars the question why haven't we heard anything about the TAMU student yet.

Worried!? About what?
*fills gas cans*
Seriously though. Hope this story starts to die down and the translations about mutated strains are internet exaggerations.

Surely there's Americans and Europeans there who would be relaying information if people were dropping dead in the street.

There are 68 suspected cases, so maybe there is a line?

Yeah, the I'm gonna guess the CDC has more than one tech and one machine that does these tests...
I'm wonder what the % is of those (outside of China) cases being watched vs the total number of people who actually flew out of China.
Seems like a high number of people who are being watched around the world when you consider they are just a subset of the Chinese population who happened to travel during this window.

OKAY. I got info from my contacts.
Main outbreak is in Hankou, Wuhan. Quarantine allows NO entry, NO exits.
Hanyang, Wuhan is NO exit, only entry.
Wuchang, Wuhan is still allowed entry/exit but must be personal vehicle and will be inspected.
One of my sources has a close friend is someone on ground zero of the outbreak. Pneumologist in Wuhan. He says that a lot of people with minor symptoms think they are infected, so they go to the hospital and get infected for real. He sounds pissed (I would be too) since he's been basically working non-stop since the outbreak. Won't comment further regarding the issue since he can finally go sleep after a week and a half or some ungodly stint.
Another source works in research specializing in infectious disease (and as you can guess is working on the outbreak).Regarding the 90k number, source says "****ing bull**** hyped by mass paranoia". Source also says there's been a mass movement of medical staff to Wuhan right now. 5 doctors in their hospital just received immediate transfer orders, and around 20 nurses they think. It might change though since they just had 15 cases pop up in their town recently. This source is worried since it appears the virus has mutated to non-specific symptoms and I quote, "It would seem plausible there may now be multiple (>2) strains."
Also says Chengdu and Chongqing might be quarantined due 30 cases in one day confirmed.
Apparently several military hospitals in rural areas have had their entire staff transferred to Wuhan recently to assist. Military units have been reported to have mobilized and relocated from coastal China.

My source says the outbreak will last at minimum 3-4 months in China alone. He says elsewhere in world depends on how fast and how ugly (how aggressively) they quarantine people.
If that mutation story is right, that is concerning.
Time for the US to suspend travel from China?

This is exactly what I was expecting to eventually hear about.Quote:

Someone get a generic cold, and instantly runs to the hospital, which does nothing but exposes them to the virus, and diverts needed resources from people who are truly sick.
