But just as a bit of humor, I was talking with someone who also has a big interest in these kinds of things. And she said to the effect - I bet the people at Fort Detrick (USAMRIID - U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, used to be a bio-weapons lab) already know about this and are pissed off that somebody else is getting all the glory because their own work is classified.
Anyway, a funny take on things.

I'm not dumb, but I have very little understanding or attention span for things that I'm not in the least bit interested in. I'm not dismissing your interest in it. Like I said, I misread what you were saying. I thought you were saying that the media was burying the whole Coronavirus story and scrubbing that from the internet.
And if a government is breeding super viruses, it wouldn't surprise me in the least bit. But I'm not going to worry about it because there ain't a damn thing I can do about it if they are.

That's cool. No worries.

The only reason I post about this virus thing at all is because I don't think it's healthy to obsess over it. If you don't feel you're doing that, great.

I know this article exists because of somebody I watch on YouTube. I won't bother sharing the video because although I find them entertaining on certain topics, their content is usually very subjective and not worth much.

According to ZEROHEDGE (which has been banned from Twitter btw)
Quote:
Late last night, while most of America was watching the Superbowl, the New York Times puablished a scathing story recounting what it's like on the ground in Wuhan right now. The truth is that all of the warnings of alleged 'conspiracy theorist' have more or less turned out to be correct. Supply shortages are still making it impossible for China to diagnose every case of the virus.
Ms. An, 67, needed an official diagnosis from a hospital to qualify for treatment, but the one she and her son raced to last week had no space, even to test her. The next hospital they were referred to here in Wuhan, the city of 11 million people at the center of the outbreak, was full, too, they said. They finally got an intravenous drip for Ms. An’s fever, but that was all.
Since then, Ms. An has quarantined herself at home. She and her son eat separately, wear masks at home and are constantly disinfecting their apartment. Ms. An’s health is declining rapidly, and even keeping water down is a struggle.
"I can’t let my mom die at home," said her son, He Jun. "Every day I want to cry, but when I cry there are no tears. There is no hope."
Chilling stuff. And once again, doctors and health-care workers are leveraging their newfound immunity to shed a light on the government's brutality.
Last month, the government put Wuhan in a virtual lockdown, sealing off the city and banning most public transportation and private cars from its streets in a desperate effort to contain the outbreak. Now, many residents say it is nearly impossible to get the health care they need to treat - or even diagnose - the coronavirus.
Expressing exasperation, doctors say there is a shortage of testing kits and other medical supplies, and it is not clear why more are not available. The ban on transportation means some residents have to walk for hours to get to hospitals - if they are well enough to make the journey. Layers of bureaucracy stand between residents and help. And the long lines outside hospitals for testing and treatment suggest that the outbreak is spreading far beyond the official count of cases.
For many sickened residents, their best hope is the new coronavirus hospital that has just been finished (a second hospital is also being built).
Those who do make it to the hospital say they are squeezed together for hours in waiting rooms, where infections are easily spread. But the shortages have meant that many are ultimately turned away and sent home to self-quarantine, potentially compounding the outbreak by exposing their families.
Many doctors and residents are putting their hopes on the two new coronavirus hospitals that China has been racing to build in Wuhan in just a matter of days. One of them spans about eight acres, has 1,000 beds and is scheduled to open on Monday. The government says 1,400 military medical workers will be deployed to work there, potentially helping with the shortage of health professionals on hand to combat the outbreak.
Ironically, the hospital, which was supposed to open on Monday, is still undergoing 'finishing touches', and when masses of sick patients showed up at the gates on Monday morning, construction workers were forced to turn them away.
More than a week into the quarantine/lockdown, millions of residents fear the virus has spread much further than the government realizes.
On Sunday, city officials announced plans to set up quarantine stations around Wuhan for people with symptoms of pneumonia and close contacts among coronavirus patients. But just over a week into the lockdown, many residents believe the virus has already spread much further than the official numbers suggest.
"The situation that we’ve seen is much worse than what has been officially reported," Long Jian, 32, said outside a hospital where his elderly father was being treated. Mr. Long said his father had to go to six hospitalsNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
To be fair, zerohedge was banned from Twitter for doxxing somebody.
I'm the last person in the world to stand up for corporate censorship, but you can't pick and choose when the rules apply and protecting people from being doxxed online is a good thing. This is a legitimate argument against the Lefties in Twitter who pick and choose when to apply their rules. To try to defend Zerohedge after doing what they let antifa wackjobs get away with on the regular muddies the water.
Zerohedge should have been more careful.

As I understand it, ZH published the name of a Chinese researcher whose research and associated name was already public knowledge. Is that wrong? I mean, I'm entirely against doxxing so if that's what they did, then they should have been banned!

China is going to take a YUGE international economic ding from this! (I believe that's ultimately what they care about.) Countries are banning Chinese international travel, eta: tourism has cratered, companies with huge exposure in China like Apple, are shuttering out of caution and that's a big price to pay ... but China has to worry about its own production disruption due to illness, as well as the perceived risk, realistic or not, of Chinese goods.
Quote:Well ... the reason hospitals exist is economies of scale. Also, in your plan, they need to teach the visitors effective isolation/ decontamination procedures so they're not laboriously and with great human resources carrying the virus from house to house.
Yanno, the previous time I got sick (with a bad cold, not a flu) I got it at a doctor's office.
Wouldn't it make more sense to send out teams of doctors and nurses and volunteers to test and treat people in their own homes? How much training does it take to take tempertures and swab samples?? It seems like something of a clusterfuck to jam people together, some of who are sick with nocoronavirus-2019 and some of who aren't. Seems like a PERFECT way to spread disease, especially if people wind up going from hospital to hospital, encountering hundreds of people along the way!
Test and treat at home, save hospitals for people who really need hospital-level care.
But yes, it seems like a good use of the military.

U.S. CDC CONFIRMS 11 CONFIRMED CORONAVIRUS CASES IN UNITED STATES - TELEBRIEFING
More ominously, the CDC said that the new Coronavirus case is close contact of other California case, and was spread person-to-person.
CDC: PREPARING AS IF CORONAVIRUS WERE THE NEXT PANDEMIC
To be sure, this is from ZH where the world is always on the brink of ending, it provided no links, and I haven't followed up on this.

Federal officials confirmed the number of U.S. cases of 2019 novel coronavirus had reached 11 on Monday, describing the increasingly deadly global crisis as “explosive” and “unprecedented,” and suggesting it amounted to a potential pandemic.
California has now become a domestic epicenter of infections, with two infections confirmed in Santa Clara County, in the Bay Area; two more in San Benito County, near Monterey, where a man appeared to infect his wife; and, previously, one case each in Orange County and Los Angeles County, in Southern California.

Mayo Clinic doctor: Coronavirus is ‘basically at a pandemic now’ and should be treated as such
“We’re basically at a pandemic now,” said Poland, regarding the deadly virus, which has currently been labeled as an epidemic.
The next few weeks will be crucial in how the coronavirus affects the U.S., said former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb. “If we don’t start to see outbreaks in the next two or three weeks, we might have dodged a bullet,” said Gottlieb.

You should watch the Joe Rogan podcast where he has Jack Dorsey, a high ranking female in the corporation who's name I can't recall right now and Tim Pool all together. She makes a fairly convincing case for this policy, and how it applies to other countries outside of America.
You see how bad it is in America, and we have rights like the freedom of speech. Look what they did to Sandmann and the Covington kids. High ranking people at corporations like Disney Tweeting that he should be thrown in a wood chipper. You can do a lot with just somebody's name and general location.
Now imagine you're in Communist China. Instead of getting death threats from "adults" who should know better but can't help their SJW idiocy, maybe by this time tomorrow you just never existed.
