Body under a sheet at 27 secs kicks its leg up in the air

Good eye mate...is this good or bad?

I have heard of the dead "twitching" and what not...

Dr. Paul Cottrell is not a medical doctor, but he is a collector of different stories about coronavirus infections in the U.S.

---

WTF does this even mean? A collector of different stories? Is that your attempt to give qualification to some random conspiracy nutjob on Twitter?

---

I give him no more qualification or credibility than you do. Here is a description of him by a couple of other posters:

1. This guy isn't a medical doctor or even a scientist btw, his doctorate is in finance management so I wouldn't really trust anything he has to say about science. It's also really cringey that he's decked out in Harvard gear, comes off as him trying to seem credible by wearing a hoodie that anyone can buy

2. When I first researched his background, I too was concerned that his PhD was not in a relevant subject, and he only has two years study in pre-med and is only now studying for a master's in biological studies at Harvard; however, he is acting as a gatherer of information that people are sending him which he and others are then discussing.

But it is very interesting to watch someone crash and burn when they risk their reputation on a series of text messages by a soon-to-be-named CDC official.

Did you even watch the video?

Idk about any of yall but I'm legitimately scared ****less about Wuhan corona spread. It is wrecking where first discovered even with questionable stats. A cruise ship is wrecked and while thats not a great sample it still shows a valid threat

The world doesn't know what to do with a true pandemic and we will see ramifications through apple stock tomorrow

The world just had a pandemic in 2009. It killed hundreds of thousands of people, and was more severe for young healthy people than older people.

You think? A real pandemic is going to kill far more than that and be unimaginable in scale

Are you ethnically East Asian?

Thank goodness, no

But this is still a very valid threat

No one has died that is not ethnically from East Asia. Doubt it will stay that way, though.

Strike a deal with OldAg89er. Maybe he can lease some space to you in his bunker.

AAPL dips will be bought and bought up quickly. It will be down today, but likely be back near $325 by EOW.

Wyndham, the world's largest hotel brand, has temporarily closed 70% of its hotels in China in response to the coronavirus outbreak


Wyndham Hotels has temporarily closed approximately 1,000, or 70%, of its 1,500 hotels in China in response to the coronavirus outbreak, Wyndham CEO Geoff Ballotti said on an earnings call with investors on Thursday.

"The majority of the closures resulted from our owners and franchisees doing everything they could to protect their team members and prevent the spread of the virus," Balotti said.

Wyndham hotels in China that have remained open are experiencing occupancy declines of up to 75%, according to Balotti. "We expect this to continue through at least the end of March," he said.

China represents 2% of Wyndham's adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and Ballotti estimated that the coronavirus hotel closings, about 900 of which are Super 8 franchises, could have an $8 to $12 million adverse impact on the hotel's 2020 earnings.

Wyndham joins other major hotel brands that are temporarily shuttering hotels in response to the coronavirus outbreak. Best Western has temporarily closed approximately 65% of its 52 hotels in China, Kelly Dalton, Managing Director for Brand Marketing & Corporate Communications, previously told Business Insider in an email. Hilton has temporarily closed over 60% of its 225 hotels in Greater China.

That's going to leave a mark....

The bull desperation is palpable, which is odd considering the ride since Repo was enacted. Can't stand any drop. Next round of QT, people are going to get crushed.

An analysis of 44,672 coronavirus patients in China whose diagnoses were confirmed by laboratory testing has found that 1,023 had died by Feb. 11. That's a fatality rate of 2.3 percent. Figures released on a daily basis suggest the rate has further increased in recent days.

That is far higher than the mortality rate of the seasonal flu, with which the new coronavirus has sometimes been compared. In the United States, flu fatality rates hover around 0.1 percent.

I still would like to see the stats in a non-ethnic Asian population.

Edit - not verifiable

Which seems like the simpler answer: the body was "twitching " or the video is fake?

---

Umm...that place is in lockdown. I highly doubt people are, literally, lying around making fake videos of dead people in the streets. All of those people (under the sheets) risking a Chinese police beat down?

Even the camera angle is as if he didn't want people to know he was filming...

Lastly, the twitch thing puts it in favor (at least in my view) of being a fresh corpse...

11 infected on Tokyo tour boat, likely transmitted coronavirus to non-passengers

Quote:

---

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government says the virus may be spreading in the capital, as people not at the party -- including an office worker and a chauffeur -- were also confirmed infected, and is calling for measures to prevent transmission. It provided information on the route of infection among party attendees at a Feb. 16 press conference.

The New Year's party was held on Jan. 18 by a branch of a private taxi union based in Tokyo's Jonan area, and was attended by about 70 taxi drivers and their families who dined on the boat. However, the windows were shut due to heavy rain, creating a confined space with insufficient ventilation -- the kind of environment where disease spreads more easily.

The metropolitan government has been conducting tests on around 200 people involved in the party, on the assumption that the infection had spread on the yakatabune boat.

An independent taxi driver in his 70s, who participated in the party along with his wife, had tested positive in Tokyo. He is the son-in-law of a woman in her 80s from Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, who died on Feb. 13 -- Japan's first confirmed fatality from the COVID-19 illness.

The metropolitan government began investigating in the wake of the woman's death, and had confirmed 11 participants and yakatabune employees were infected with the coronavirus as of Feb. 16.

Two people who were not onboard the tourist boat also tested positive for the new virus: a female employee with the union branch in her 50s, who had contact with the taxi driver at work, and a doctor in his 60s at Makita General Hospital in Tokyo's Ota Ward.

In order to fake that video, you need to shut down a mile of busy shopping area and have ~50 volunteers lying as corpses.

Not easily done

I suspect some of the videos coming out are fake, but it's the ones that can be faked easily.

Videoing their apartment door with someone yelling on the opposite side = easy to fake

Videoing a large public area (street, hospital, etc) with hundreds of sick or dead lying around = not easy to fake

It's one block and I counted seventeen.

It's a good article, and it does show the glaring lack of transmission outside of people who are Chinese with close ties to China.

Canada has a huge Chinese population, around 8% of their population or so consider themselves "ethnically Chinese". I remember in an article that the ethnic population breakdown of Vancouver is something like 38% European Canadian and 34% Chinese. Where are all the Canadian cases? Travel between Canada and China is huuuge and not a blip on the radar

And it's easy to have a block "shut down" when it's before or after open hours ie early morning or a Sunday evening. I think it's fake

My friend's brother and sister-in-law caught corona virus on the Princess ship in Japan. He's doing ok, but his wife isn't. She has pneumonia and she keeps getting worse.

They are Caucasian and in their 60s or early 70s.

That's making me worried. I doubt they smoke, they haven't been exposed to bad pollution, they are getting good medical care, they aren't Asian, and she may die.

Where are they being treated?

EDIT: This does NOT include the cruise ship

I could have saved them some ink:

The WHO is heavily funded / bribed / coopted by China. The only reason they haven't called it a pandemic is to not offend best China and Xi.
