mapuc,
your quotes only reflect one side of the article your linked to. It also holds this: Quote:

I also take it for granted that there are FAR MORE cases globally than just 100,000. Russia for exmaple has run a systmatic media desinfiormation and ingoriung-the-problem-campaign, and reports hilariously low numbers although it shares the longest land border with china. Chinese numbers I also do not trust - their crematories run extra shifts, hire extra staff, and some sources say they build new ones , like they built new hospitals in Wuhan. And two days ago the German CDC and a federal health ministry refused to agree on numbers in the most affected German state of Northrhine-Westphalia. How many cases more? I dont know, but I do not expect anything less than several factors.

Current coronavirus death statistics from Italy (translation):

https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/...s-Problem.html And before anyone says 'See? It's not so bad, because it's mostly only older people who dying from the virus!', let's not forget that these older people who are dying are peoples' parents, grandparents, spouses, etc. Let's not cheapen their deaths just because of their advanced ages. 21 passengers test positive on the Grand Princess cruise ship off California.

Japan still not testing most with symptoms. Only 8,111 total tests have been conducted so far- total is less than the number South Korea tests in one day!
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/n...0306151420233/ Japan's coronavirus infection rate could be 'tip of the iceberg' as experts call for more testing. Quote:
Idiot bureaucrats are still trying to protect the 2020 Olympic games by not testing people- even those with pneumonia! No testing = No infections. I'm guessing there are already at least 25,000+ unconfirmed cases here. Japan is toast. Last edited by Traveller; 03-06-20 at 07:33 PM. |

These statistics on quotas calculated on basis if coiunted cases, in generla must be taklen with a grian of salt. We do not know how many of all cases there realyl are are counted by these offiocial case counts, an d how many unkinown escape the statistics. This obviously has an effect on perceived clusters in the existing counts. Its a methodological problem that cannot really be controlled, but it is important nevertheless.

When used with proper eye protection, surgical masks do work for preventing infection (18:30). Last edited by Traveller; 03-06-20 at 08:54 PM. |

Good question. I don't think I have ever gone to a doctor or clinic just because I had the flu and i am certainly not alone in that, so I wonder how many people actually had a mild form of the corona virus and just passed it off as a dose of the flu? |

Again, it all comes down to protecting the 2020 Olympic games. No tests = No new confirmed cases. |

Understandably, that's huge for Japan. Here in my northern California hospitals, I ask everyday if there are any new protocols and read all communications but it's pretty much status quo. The reality is that effective measures are already policy and enforcement is the problem.
Watching your last posted video where NNU talks about patients needing to be placed in negative pressure rooms is great but totally ignores that negative pressure rooms are few in most hospitals. You can't just wave a magic wand and all of a sudden a room is a negative pressure room. It involves a huge change which is also tied into fire compartments etc. Those rooms also have alarm systems to monitor the integrity of the negative pressure and so forth. Not going to happen overnight or over decades.

Today, the news reported that a man with symptoms in Hiroshima, Japan went to 4 different hospitals, but he was refused coronavirus testing each time. He has now tested positive. Good way to spread it around. Yep, I'd say Japan is toast.

No kidding and I'm not surprised. Even before this problem I was constantly amazed that people would bring lots of family members to the ER and let their little kids crawl around on the floor.

The UK remains in the "containment" phase of tracing coronavirus cases to prevent it spreading in the community, England's deputy chief medical officer has said.
Jennie Harries told the BBC a decision about the next phase of delaying the spread of the virus would depend on how fast the number of cases rose. But she said the UK was "teetering on the edge" of sustained transmission. Measures to slow the virus needed to be "proportionate", she said. And Dr Harries warned the public against panic-buying, saying it was unnecessary and it could "engender panic in itself". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51781018
