He's not referring to traditional flu shots.

This is probably fake news.

Looks like it wasn't increased mortality, but sensitivity to getting the virus.

I need to tell my ol lady (who is a doctor) he's full of crap.

More sad news 3rd party through by American Aggie friend who is fluent in mandarin and still has friends in China from his time living there.

The Dr. he knows has been put in charge of isolation at a hospital outside of the hard hit area, I think they have a few dozen suspected COV patients at this time. Medical staff normally can access foreign medical documents through an officially sanctioned VPN (but still monitored by the party). In the past few days that has been taken away. They can't access the latest news, and they weren't aware of the need for eye protection. Medical professionals are still wearing surgical masks not n95 stuff. My friend had to tell them that it was necessary to protect the eyes and send screenshots of the papers so that they could access it. On top of this the Dr. is working 18-20 hour days and has not been allowed To leave the hospital this week, sleeping on a couch.

As we all surmise the party is more interested in keeping power than protecting its people including medical staff. How many will die so that they can keep the people under their thumb for a while longer?

Related to that - I thought this 20 minute NY Times podcast from today was interesting:

Not sure if anyone posted this one yet.

This is ASM's podcast. One of the leading microbial journals in America. (Which I am proud to say I am published in.) I would think BioBioProf would have shared this with us if he was still with us today.

Quote:

A Taiwanese PhD student said she feels discriminated against after London Airbnb hosts canceled her booking at the last minute, citing fears about coronavirus.

Yale University student Louise Hsin-Yuan Peng, who traveled from Taiwan to London earlier this month to conduct research for three months, received a cancellation message from the hosts of her long-term booking that said they were concerned about the virus outbreak and had to "err on the side of caution."

She received the cancellation message when she was about to arrive, after already messaging the hosts when she landed at the airport in London and taking a train to the city center.

"I was really shocked," Hsin-Yuan told CNN. "I certainly think it was xenophobic because you're just scared of me without knowing anything about me."

I've stopped going to Chinese buffets......I love Chinese buffets, got to make sacrifices sometimes.



I wonder how Asian massage parlors are faring

It's made getting the #3 off the secret menu really difficult with the mask on their face.

According to this chart, which seemingly accurately predicted the next 7 day window....a lot of us are doomed by the end of March.

I already have my bunker sorted. Good lucky lolpoors. ; )

2% in a pandemic is really, really bad.
A really bad flu is 0.1% fatal.
This also seems to acutely affect about 10- 15% of the infected people, meaning 2 or more weeks convalescing, hospitalization, possibly even oxygen. That is weeks not at work, not able to be in public, etc.
I mean, yeah, 2% is nothing to dismiss, either. This is pretty freakin' serious.

Also, mind you the death rate might not be as bad here. We know two common things about the acute cases:

1) The elderly
2) Smokers.

There's far less #2 here than in China.


The air pollution is so bad in China that, by default, everyone is a smoker.
Living in Beijing a week= One to three packs of cigs depending on your location and time of visit.

I showed this to one of my classes today, after listening to them talk about it for a solid 20 minutes. They really enjoyed it.

curious to see how japan handles this.

from another forum:

Tokyo Japan, Ranked last year as the TOP Hospital city in the world. The Japanese government and their military are stating publicly that they lack the facilities to handle a crisis that would involve isolating 3700 cruise ship passengers for 14 days in world class hospital network that serves a metropolitan area of over 40 million people... but we've got folks who believe whole heartedly that Wuhan China, with too few hospitals, an already reportedly overstressed system, serving an area of 11 million resident can handle thirty, forty, fifty thousand people sick with this crap successfully enough to bring the progression of the virus to a halt?

The governments' reactions, virtually around the globe, their reactions DO NOT paint a rosy picture of this being something that will be isolated to China, easily fought, or frankly even successfully resisted.

Refer to the handling of ***ushima by Tepco. Drip-drip-drip narrative control and LOTS of face saving exercises.
