Yeah like we need to inflate their numbers x100 or x1000 to get close to an actual estimate.

like we said, 80k people a year die from flu. they dont shut down their economy, mobilize their miiltary, quarantine half the country, shut down international travel, build emergency hospitals and crematoriums, and shut down the internet for that....

so.....do you think they think a lot more than 80k people are going to die?

I think it is more likely that these 8 venues are a "death camp" than a hospital. No wonder that person didn't want to get into the van.

i read a post by someone claiming to be in the industry, she said that their research revealed that this virus pathway is a certain kind, of which men have more 'doors' for entry genetically, and asian men in particular have 5x more 'doors' for entry.

no idea if true, but if it is true, that might explain some of the rumors about 'racial targeting' etc.

For the past few days I have decided to just multiply anything I see from China by 1,000 and their actions make much more sense.

So if you look at their table approximately 20,500 cases in China and 425 deaths. Multiply by 100 and 205,000 infections and 4,250 deaths.

Now multiply by 1000. 2,050,000 infections and 42,500 deaths.

I'm not saying it's a factor of a 1,000 higher, but I would guess 100 at best.

Maybe not since those steps were taken? Whether you agree with them or not, all of those decisions were probably made in the interest of public wellbeing no matter the final death count.

Guess it depends on how many hospital beds are available vs. how many they anticipate needing. People still get sick with regular stuff and it doesn't seem like they have enough capacity relative to population size to begin with. If you're already tight on space and have something that is going to hospitalize 10s of thousands, you need more space.

Add that "normal" 80,000 to an additional 80,000+ potentially from this.....

Hmmm...Make shift hospitals out of large scale public venues? That is a -5 points from reasonability...at least.


(-50) Apocalyptic-----------------------------------V---------------0--------------------------------------------------Absolutely (50)


By the way, I put 50 dashes on each side
0 = Reasonable Action/Concern


That would mean: -15 from 0 (reasonability), -65 from Absolutely nothing, +35 from Apocalyptic.

I am open to edits and other interpretations.

Is that because men outnumber women that much in China or is there something in the virus makeup that makes it more lethal to people with a Y chromosome?

Or the men have more underlying health issues so they have a weakened/compromised immune system?


Beat me to it, but I would say that it's because men outnumber women by somewhere well north of 2:1
There are virtually identical numbers of men and women over the age of 60 in China.

About 250 million of China's 1.4 billion population are over the age of 60.

Obviously, you primary hope is this virus doesn't show up in your hometown. But after that, it is best for everyone world-wide if China is able to get a handle on this thing as quickly as possible. Not only because the longer this goes on, the greater the risk of it getting out of control world-wide, but also for economic reasons. Because china manufacturing plays a major role in the global supply chain.

Okay that makes sense. Most of the deaths are in the elderly and not impacted by the 1 child policy in terms of gender distribution that younger generations have.

Holy water.

On a serious note, it looks like more show. How would disinfecting an apparently empty highway help? I could see spraying a market or downtown area.

233,831 / 24589

considering all the videos of bodies and cremations if taken separately already exceed the official death numbers...

Perhaps the virus is so durable that it could get onto the highway through exhaust and can get kicked up enough to enter another cars intake?

Honest question: what justifies this prediction? Is it due to cancer's relationship with certain viruses?
