Apparently one hospital has been completed and one is still under construction.
The latest figures point to a roughly 2% fatality rate.
One good thing about the virus moving out of China is that we'll get better numbers, because (again, if I believe the Chinese social media) the Wuhan government is so overwhelmed and test kits are so scarce relative to the demand that nobody has any good figures on R-naught and death rate.
But clearly this isn't Ebola, with a 90% death rate.

Yanno, I was wondering ... China just dealt with a "pig Ebola" that caused them to cull 40% of their pigs. Now, they have nocoronavirus which may have HIV-like insertions in it. And most recently, a bird flu. Not the bird-to-human bird flu but a bird flu that is -once again- causing them to cull their flocks. Not that I'm suspicious person or anything but it seems mighty strange that China should be hit with all of these outbreaks all at once.

Untrue. Zero legitimate sources. Also deeply homophobic.
Check.

I'm just pointing out it's not just legacy media. It's pretty much everything.
Actually, that guy Styx that I have shown videos of on YouTube is still reporting on this. Every single morning, in fact. But I have not watched any of those videos, other than one yesterday where he did an article about an opinion piece on Wired where they say that we should just let Coronavirus run its course.
You know what I saw there? A LOT of comments from people who were deriding him for giving it so much coverage and wondering if he was cashing in on it. (Which I find to be a hilariously stupid take-away since all of his videos are put on YT without ads by the man himself and he's never made any ad revenue from them).
My take away from that is people just don't want to hear about it. Either because we've heard it all before and we don't care anymore, or people don't want to know how they're going to die. Either way, it's not a popular topic. The shelf life of The Walking Dead TV show was 5 to 7 years before most people lost interest. Coronavirus? 2 weeks, maybe?
None of his videos have been scrubbed from youtube. He's got 15 videos about it in the last two weeks. He's also got over 400k subscribers from all over the world.

ETA: Maybe you think I'm trying to harangue you into CARING. I hope it doesn't come across that way!
I'm pointing out - and not necessarily to you - that this is one very clear example of an EXTREMELY important news item that's being deliberately and nearly completely suppressed across the full spectrum of information sources. Jeeze, there was a whole lot more reporting on far flimsier 'news' items like 'golden showers'!
I just don't know if I agree on how important it is. It certainly has the potential to be important, but if this is just another thing that is literally going to die out and some people die but most lives don't get effected from it at all, it's really not that important.
2% actually seems quite high as a mortality rate, I'll grant that, but if every single person in the world were to contract it, that would be only 150,000,000 deaths, and that's not even a drop in the bucket to the over population problem in the world. Also, if it's 2% everywhere else on average, mostly in China, it's probably not going to be anywhere near that high in the States. They can talk all day long about how advanced they've become recently as a society since the Clintons sold us out to China, but at the end of the day they're still very much behind us in many respects, most notably in their political ideologies that put a zero dollar price tag on the value of a citizen's life.

Do you remember that episodic movie you linked about the kids who found themselves in isolated rooms who had to construct from scratch the rules of their environment ... (that ended up with them probably being the only survivors of global nuclear holocaust)?
Yeah. The Vault. I have a vague recollection of that night posting the episodes as I was watching them. I'm surprised anybody else watched it.

Yeah. We probably are.
I don't mean to sound all Zen about it, and I certainly don't want to come off as a Pod Person and have you asking "Who are you, and what have you done with Jack!!!???", but there probably are instances where this isn't the worst thing in the world.
Orson Welles put on a radio show on Halloween many ages back and had people literally walking out in the streets, cooking pots on their heads for makeshift helmets, toting shotguns, looking to shoot down the aliens that were invading us.

Well, obviously I disagree. The insertions into the coronavirus - that appear entirely unnatural, and designed to maximize infectivity (transmission) - are a big story. They tell us something unique and disturbing about the virus itself. They also tell us something important about the world we live in, and the things that are being done in secret. And they tell us about our government and its response to coronavirus, which is to employ just as much secrecy as the Chinese.
And the fact that the Chinese are building a second 'instant' coronavirus hospital should also tell us something disturbing about the virus, btw.
You know, should tshtf there will for sure be panic here in the US, no matter how much secrecy was employed, or how much anodyne was spread around ahead of time.
And there will be far more than inconvenience at the grocery store as the medical system is overwhelmed.
I can't see how less information improves people's lives, though I can see how it makes things easier for the government.

Quote:Well, we too have been hit with serious outbreaks. I think it was 3 years ago? where bird flu went through our agricultural areas in time to hit the Thanksgiving-day turkey growers. (Other birds were seriously affected, but the timing of the turkey-raising is sensitive.) The thought at the time was that it had been brought in by wild ducks? geese? I don't remember which at this point.
Yanno, I was wondering ... China just dealt with a "pig Ebola" that caused them to cull 40% of their pigs. Now, they have nocoronavirus which may have HIV-like insertions in it.

Not that I'm suspicious person or anything but it seems mighty strange that China should be hit with all of these outbreaks all at once.
I think the fact that our pork supplies haven't been affected is because they're housed indoors, in mega-facilities eta: without a lot of contact with other populations of pigs.. (And as I've read, the fact that they have such low trichinosis rates is because they're now being fed a vegetarian diet, instead of scavenging outdoors or being fed meat.)
And the current coronavirus I personally would trace to the BSL4 lab outside of Wuhan.
Anyway - it's an interesting idea, but given their agricultural practices, it could be entirely coincidental. Goes into my Signy-named bin interesting if true.

Well... It's because news isn't news anymore. It's entertainment. It's a business. That's been suspect for quite a while now, but they've made it abundantly clear in the last three years and they're not even trying to hide it anymore.
This virus is a joke. Nothing is going to happen. You're going to be alright.

Folk are not even allowed to take appropriate precautions.
Unless you believe your government has a clue what proper precautions are for this outbreak.

Each time it seemed a dud. Nobody seemed to care. Or maybe I didn't frame it right.
You were probably busy, at work and all.
