If you count everyone infected doesn’t die but you can’t. You can only count deaths and cured as everyone infected could live or die.

Death/(Death+Cured)

Fair enough. 20% should do a nice cull on the population. If only we could somehow aim it at boomers.
 
Can't wait to get that Coronashit, recover after 2 days of lemon tee and be done with it.

Granted, once the disease winds down it will get closer to maybe a single digit but until then it is what it is

Quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship has 39 new cases, bringing total to 174

Princess Cruises announced Tuesday that 39 additional people have tested positive for coronavirus on Diamond Princess, bringing the total number of people on the ship that have fallen ill with the virus to 174; at least 20 of them are American.

"We are following guidance from the Japan Ministry of Health on plans for disembarkation protocols to provide medical care for these new cases," Princess Cruises said in a statement provided by Negin Kamali, director of public relations.

The ship was carrying 2,666 guests and 1,045 crew when it set sail on Jan. 20 and is now quarantined at Yokohama pier. The Diamond Princess is scheduled to remain under quarantine until Feb. 19.

The coronavirus, which was first identified in Wuhan, China, has spread across the globe with 45,113 confirmed cases and 1,114 deaths as of Tuesday evening, and the coronavirus death toll has now surpassed the SARS outbreak of 2002 to 2003. The majority of the cases are in mainland China. Common signs of infection include fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.

Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Japanese authorities initially decided quarantining people on the Diamond Princess cruise ship was the best option. She said during an event Tuesday at the National Press Club that the increasing number of infected individuals on the ship is prompting officials to "look critically" about the safest thing to do for all on board.

"I think the issue is what are the options available? Finding the best option, given what we know right now about how much spread has already occurred and how many are still susceptible," she said. "It’s just an extremely difficult issue. For the passengers, the crew and their families, it is extremely difficult."

Schuchat noted the ship has a lot of elderly people on board. "What’s the best way to safely offload them, if they are going to be offloaded?"

'It's almost like we're on the ship alone'

Passengers on the ship have been instructed to stay in their suites or cabins during the quarantine.

Those in interior cabins with no window or outdoor access have been able to go on deck for up to an hour and a half but must stay at least 3 feet from fellow passengers, Matt Smith, an attorney from Sacramento, California, told USA TODAY on Friday.

Smith says the situation is “inconvenient,” but that he and his travel companion, Katherine Codekas, are comfortable, with fresh water and electricity, and meals dropped off at the door by the ship’s crew.

Internet service has sometimes been spotty, but he said the cruise line has provided more on-demand movies and added live TV channels to help passengers while in quarantine. They requested and received clean sheets but changed the bed themselves after crew members dropped them at the door to avoid close contact.

Status updates from the ship’s captain have increased and improved as the quarantine has gone on, Smith said.

On Monday, Smith told USA TODAY that they are still doing fine, though they had a moment of worry hearing about more confirmed cases. As for how the atmosphere is on the ship, he said it's hard to tell, isolated in their cabin.

"It's almost like we're on the ship alone except for the crew who bring us food and things and occasional voices from nearby balconies," he said.

On Tuesday, Rai Caluori, Princess Cruises' executive vice president of fleet operations, announced in a Facebook video that "more than 2,000 prescription medications have been brought on board" for passengers.

"One of our highest priorities has been to provide guests and crew with their prescription medications," Caluori added. "Seven new pharmacists have been assisting in the assorting, delivery and distribution to guests."

Laundry service is also available, Caluori said.

For all the GA folks. Stay ready, friends.

Thank god I’m in the Everglades. Won’t be a gator sneezing in my face. Worst case scenario is a guy on bath salts getting mauled on my front lawn by gators and panthers.

I just picked up a new shotgun, 500 rounds of ammo and some food in the last two months. :) I still think the hurricanes are the worst.

It’s almost like this virus was dropped as a population control device... reminds me of MI2. The western government’s are quite careless and sketchy about not blocking flights from China.
 
WHO previously looked away as China cooks their numbers, but now they are outright collaborating and rubber-stamp whatever Xinnie the Pooh says, even if it contradicts with their own guidelines.

and to add, every single “undiagnosed” person who dies, does not get labeled as a flu death. But they still go to the crematoriums all the same.

this could be from people turned away from the hospitals, to people who never sought treatment.
 
Apparently, he was wearing gloves and mask.


I lived on Okinawa for four years. I'd be willing to bet my PC that he was wearing everything he was told to wear. They do NOT cut corners over there.

Period.
 
Hey guys , you know what is really surprising?

That the Chinese government hasn't sent infected persons to Xinjiang and Tibet, to infect the Uighur and Tibetans.

I thought about that. My guess is they are so shit scared that they can't control this they won't risk spreading it
 
The first group of 195 Americans returned from Wuhan had completed their 14-Day quarantine at the March Air Reserve Base. All are healthy and passed the CDC tests with flying colors.

195 evacuees were cleared to leave March Air Reserve Base in Riverside, California, after clearing their final screening. None of those evacuees tested positive.

People threw their face masks into the air and hugged, said Dr. Nancy Knight of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“They pose no health risk to themselves, to their families, to their places of work, to schools or their communities,” she told reporters. “There should be no concern about novel coronavirus from these 195 individuals. They have been watched more closely than anyone else in the United States.”

The group, which included U.S. consular officials and children, arrived Jan. 29 on a U.S.-chartered flight from Wuhan, China. The locked-down city of 11 million is the epicenter of the virus that has claimed more than 1,000 lives worldwide.

Most of the group released Tuesday planned to leave immediately, though some were staying one more day because of travel arrangements. They were headed to see family across the United States.

Among those leaving the base Tuesday was Consul General Jamie Fouss. He described how they had to check passengers against the manifest on the chartered plane in China, check bags and conduct health screenings before taking off for Alaska and later California.

The quarantine, he said, wasn't as challenging as he thought it could be, adding the group stayed busy with evacuees running Zumba and art classes and activities for the children.

“Everybody felt like the quarantine was their civic duty to do what they needed to do to keep themselves and their communities safe,” he told reporters. “Today as we took off our masks and were given the clean bill of health, we all realized we had gone through this experience together, and we made good friends.”

Almost surprised but they possibly ramped up the destruction of monestaries and Uighur cemetery and cultural sites.
 
Quarantine based on the 14 day incubation theory....

There is "passive-observation quarantine" that involves not much more than watching for symptoms, and then there is "active-observation quarantine" with multiple medical tests throughout the quarantine period that would detect the virus even if the patient is asymptomatic.

China is the former because they don't have anywhere near enough test kits for their millions of infected.

Actually, they don't even have enough resources for passive observation anymore, hence the instruction for "self-isolation at home" in Wuhan. After you inevitably catch it from other people in the same apartment building and die unceremoniously at home, they would send a van to come pick up your dead corpse and chalk your untimely demise up to "natural causes" on the way to the crematorium, which doesn't count towards the Chinese "confirmed deaths from Coronavirus" tally.

Ours is the later, and the U.S can handle the job of testing a few hundred Americans just fine.


SoCal Quarantine Ends for Nearly 200 Evacuated From Center of Coronavirus Outbreak
The evacuees from China arrived Jan. 29 at the Southern California military base. None have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
By Staff Report • Published February 10, 2020 Updated on February 11, 2020



Nearly 200 people are ending a two-week quarantine at a Southern California military base where they have been living since flying out of China in the wake of a deadly viral outbreak.

The quarantine of 195 evacuees ended Tuesday for all those held at March Air Reserve Base east of Los Angeles since their flight arrived Jan. 29. None have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, which has claimed more than 1,000 lives overseas.

Some members of the group exchange high-fives and hugs. Many tossed their medical face masks into the air in celebration.

They will undergo a final health check Tuesday morning.

"People who have not developed symptoms will have successfully completed their quarantine and will be free to leave the base,'' said Dr. Cameron Kaiser, the county's public health officer. "To date, no one has tested positive for novel coronavirus among the 195 in quarantine. Two individuals with symptoms were re-tested and also found to be negative, and they since recovered.''

Over the last two weeks, two children became feverish and were taken to Riverside University Medical Center in Moreno Valley, where they were placed under isolation -- each accompanied by a parent -- for observation. Both minors and their parents were permitted to return to the quarantine site after lab results confirmed no presence of coronavirus.

Kaiser expressed concern about elevated fears tied to the virus leading to inappropriate behavior.

"Unfortunately, some people with concerns have taken them out on the families and households of people working at March Air Reserve Base,'' he said.

"There have been comments made that have been hurtful -- both in person and on social media -- that are often based on incorrect or incomplete information. A few base workers have even been accosted in uniform. This is not acceptable and needs to stop."

During a Tuesday news conference at the military base, Kaiser reiterated those comments.

"They don't have novel coronavirus," Kasier said. "They don't need to be shunned. These people are going home, and I expect everyone to let them."

The doctor stressed that base employees and visitors, as well as residents in the immediate area, "are not at increased risk for exposure to the new virus.''
