Normally I would post this on the conspiracy blog, but since there have been a few scares, paranoia may not be a bad thing.
Now, of course, take it all with a grain of salt, but social media leaks that get out of China are scary bad. Not just how bad the virus is (contagion worse than being reported), but what the government is doing to people.
But it is SCARY as shit.
- It's not 1,300 cases, it's 20,000+.
- The number of cases of infection and death by infection are SERIOUSLY being under reported, in order for the Chinese government to report that they have control of the epidemic. Doctors are being forced to adjust the cause of recent deaths to anything except the virus. Some are having their families threatened.
- Medical staff are fleeing hospitals in the outskirts, leaving patients to die on their own, rather than risk exposure.
- The doctor's that do stay often do not to autopsies on the dead for fear of contamination. And medical supplies are being CUT, as people track where sanitary masks, medical gloves and other medicines are being shipped to, in order to get an idea where the virus is being reported on next.
Here's the logic: In short, if this town is not getting/requesting supplies, they are not infected.
- Local governments who in their roles due to cronyism and not properly prepared are fumbling and causing more problems for local medical efforts. And of course foreign medical aide is being outlawed in order to preserve face.
- A few incidents of local police looting the military supplies as the Chinese army/navy arrive, as the armed forces wear better protection gear than the piss poor local cops.
- If you ever wanted to see how fast a totalitarian government can hunt you down, look no further. Social media posts that show contrary information to what the Chinese government is saying are being actively hunted and disrupted in less than an hour. Chinese internet police is on over drive. to keep the lid on the problem.
Worse than the House of the Mouse.
Because there should be a discussion for the latest workdwide updates on the disease, and local updates.
Speaking of, the doctor’s are saying THIS latest version of the virus IS contagious even though you do not show symptoms. Unlike other variations of this virus.o
80,000 people died of the flu in the US last season, this thing is not SCARY as shit.
You're more likely to be eaten by a shark while being struck by lightning than dying or even contracting this virus.
You'll probably be killed in a car crash within 5 miles of your home or or die from septicimia that you just got in the ER cause you ate that Romaine lettuce laced with e-coli or catch the herp and watch your penis go gangrene. Those are all far more statistically relevant.
I doubt if anybody including the Chinese know exactly how many cases of the virus are in China.
When the Chinese have had outbreaks of HIV, SARS, etc. showing up in the country they tried to keep it quiet because of course diseases like that only happened in decadent capitalist countries not in the Chinese workers' paradise. As a result they lost control and it took them a long time before they got a handle on exactly what they had with both of those outbreaks.
They have been using the same playbook with this virus and therefore It might take some time for them to really know how many cases are in China.
