They are flying in doctors by the jetload from the rest of China.

Non google translated version:
Feb 4-5,
CAAC has utilized it's authority to order flights of carriers including China air, East China, South China air et al. to conduct the flight of 14 planes for emergency transport of medical personnel to Wuhan. In total 15 groups with 1,418 people were flown in.
According to emergency directives of (I presume the CCDC), personel from Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hebei, Beijing, Guizhou, Henan, Qinghai, Jiling, Yunnan, Xinjiang and Xinjiang Border construction troops have been sent.

In total thirteen domestic airlines have participated in this program, and completed 59 sorties, moved 7320 personnel, and 276 tons of materials.
That is good news and bad news. China is trying to handle the epidemic, but the amount of personnel and materials is considerable. 7320 medical workers could oversee a lot of patients per day.

Wuhan is very humid like london. Raining half the time in that city and your clothes never dry.

Do be aware, much more is moved by the rail system.

Notice that there are no movement of doctors from Guangdong (the eastern half of Guangzhou where its heavily populated)? That's because I suspect that they are afraid that SARS pops back up there right now.

I expect a terrorist attack in Xinjiang by the end of the month due to the moving of Border Construction troop doctors.

Edit: The move of doctors from Qinghai and Gansu is pretty serious. That means the government is moving out resources from the Hexi corridor. Usually military stuff and people stay there unless its really bad.

No problem.

I've gotten used to living along since I have no close relatives in the US. You do try not to make friends since you know you might have to leave but such is life..

title: "Xi Jinping statement: (we) must utilize all strength to improve prevention and disease treatment capabilities (for the Wuhan coronavirus) by strengthening public order and legal protections.

Edit: I think they are wanting to test the legality/politics of implementing criminal punishments for those who deliberately left quarantine areas. That law was made in 2012 and I suspect it may be actually getting enforced now.

Prediction:

At 5 PM today China will release their updated case statistics. Their official reported statistics (within a very small margin of error) will be 27571 cases & 576 deaths.

If that is correct, the Chinese numbers are complete BS and it's much worse than reported.
Official Chinese statistics:



# of Cases
Predicted = 27571
Actual = 27602
Delta = 31
% error = 0.1%

# of Deaths
Predicted = 576
Actual = 564
Delta = 12
% error = 2%

By the way, tomorrow we will have 31,649 cases and 661 deaths.

How can I predict China's reported statistics to within 0.1%?

Because all of the official Chinese statistics are BS calculated by a math formula.

I have been following this gentleman's videos since the beginning. He has been very conservative in his predictions so far, but it appears he is starting to get concerned. I believe He is a medical professional and a nursing teacher, and not selling a prosperity newsletter or prepper supplies like some of the other video makers on YouTube.

Well all know the data is suspect, but what I think Bobcat and the tweet he linked to are saying is the Chinese are no longer reporting anything with a basis in reality. The Chinese are using a calculated multiplier for new cases and a mortality rate % to release new numbers every day.

I think if Bobcat can predict mathematically within a small margin of error the Chinese numbers we can assume they are 100% bogus.

I know they were undercounting, but by what factor? 10? 100?

Well know it looks like they have the numbers calculated and are just releasing the next calculation each day.

The story isn't that [DeSantis] "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win.

The only question is how many orders of magnitude are the reported numbers off? If it's just a single digit no big deal they're just saving face. If off by 2 digits though?

Why fly in 7000 medical personal for 27000 cases? Dont forget that 7000 is into one area while the 27000 is everywhere.

This guy is a doom-mongering 'tard with a tenuous grasp on high-school-level mathematics.


Please explain your reasoning. Seriously, I want to hear how you came to this conclusion.

Break it down for us. You made the claim, don't just throw a **** bomb and walk away, show us where he is wrong. Back up your expert analysis.

1) What are the specific examples of doom-mongering ?

2) Run through the errors you spotted in his analysis.

3) Give us your analysis of the situation in China and in the US and how it will play out over the next 2 days, 7 days and next month.

I only watched a couple of his videos. I scoffed when he announced with certainty that 3% is a lower bound on the mortality rate, based strictly on the numbers currently being reported by China. He himself has acknowledged that those numbers are likely bogus. Let's say the number of infected cases are under-reported by 10x or 100x. Then the lower bound becomes 0.3% or 0.03%, respectively. But the number of deaths are also likely being under-reported. So any such claim of certainty about a minimum mortality rate is doom-mongering.

When he extrapolates infection numbers into the future, he either doesn't understand or is sloppily mischaracterizing important concepts, such as conflating infection cycles with days.

Edit: I just watched his latest video. He deserves some credit for his "We Don't Know What We Don't Know" slide. In fact the whole video seemed reasonable. Maybe he's turned over a new leaf.
