Update on chinese Coronavirus issue

[Maverick]

Amazon is frantically (sort of) trying take off the cleaning products claiming to kill the coronavirus, I guess the WHO and CDC has contacted Amazon. Same for shields, masks and respirators.

Looks like Politico (American online rag) has partnership with the south china morning post that's owned by a communist party member. Not surprising.

Confusion mounts over China's counting methods as coronavirus numbers swing wildly

At this point everyone should just make up whatever numbers they like. Or ignore the numbers and look at the number of bodies being cremated, the number of hospital beds filled, the number of people not going to there jobs and the number of lies that have been verified so far.

 

[Proud Prepper]

Now multiply every number by at least a factor of 10 to 100.

 

[Maverick]

For all intents and purpose china is shut down and closed out, this is more a tell tale sign the numbers are higher than being reported out of china. The number were wrong from the start and remain wrong today. China is an abyss it's incalculable so we shouldn't look at china's numbers and only pay attention to the numbers outside of china the best we can.

Went to 3 pharmacies and they are all backordered for masks.

Went to our local Ace Hardware and the man was showing me a few painting masks.

He said .......here's what happened to all the masks. There are these people called "preppers" who , the minute they heard of the virus, they bought them all. Of course, I was laughing inside, but outwardly being very serious.

It looks as though if you dont have masks already, you will be waiting.

 

[Robinjopo1]

I found 2 boxes of pink flu masks. Oh well. I'm not proud.

Pun intended.

This is how things spreads... letting bureaucrats in charge to decide

Coronavirus-infected Americans flew home with healthy passengers — even though the CDC warned against it

American passengers with coronavirus who had been evacuated from the quarantined cruise ship off the coast of Japan were flown home on a plane with healthy passengers, against the warnings of the Centers for Disease Control

The CDC was reportedly so displeased with the State Department decision to put the coronavirus-positive patients on the plane that it refused to be included in the news release announcing the decision.

Coronavirus outbreak slashes China carbon emissions: study

The coronavirus epidemic that has paralysed the Chinese economy may have a silver lining for the environment.

China's carbon emissionshave dropped by least 100 million metric tonnes over the past two weeks,according to a studypublished on Wednesday by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) in Finland.

That is nearly six percent of global emissions during the same period last year.

The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus—which has killed over 2,000 and infected more than 74,000 people across China—has led to a drop in demand for coal and oil, resulting in the emissions slump, the study published on the British-based Carbon Brief website said.

Over the past two weeks, daily power generation at coal power plants was at a four-year low compared with the same period last year, while steelproduction has sunk to a five-year low, researchers found.

China is the world'sbiggest importer and consumer of oil, butproduction at refineries in Shandong province—the country's petroleum hub—fell to the lowest levelsince autumn 2015, thereport said.

Economic activity in China usually picks up after the Lunar New Year holiday,which began on January25.

But authorities extendedthe holidays this year—by a week in many parts ofthe country includingShanghai—in an effort to contain the epidemic by keeping people at home.

"Measures to containcoronavirus have resulted in reductions of 15 percent to 40 percent in outputacross key industrial sectors," the report said.

"This is likely to havewiped out a quarter ormore of the country's CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions over the past two weeks,the period when activitywould normally have resumed after the Chinese New Year holiday."

I wish people would stick to the subject being discussed and not go wandering off topic.

Sorry, just wanted to slide something funny into the sickness of the whole discussion and at the same time, it was related to the film from back then....GP

Good. There are many stories about shortages so stock up.

 

[Robinjopo1]

34 confirmed cases in U.S. Wonder what the real number is?

I would say between 340 and 3400

You could be close.
