are numbers mounting? OR nothing to see here

Did see a heartbreaking story on a number of media sites talking about the death of a Coronavirus doctor. He was the first to notice something going wrong and tried to inform the government. The government ignored/suppressed his warnings, and the man eventually succumbed to the disease he was trying to warn about. This is a little disturbing for another reason. The pictures of the doctor seem to show a middle aged Chinese man without any other health concerns. So it might be more deadly than just the normal risk groups. As a doctor, you have to think he would have taken unusual steps to prevent his own contamination. Unless he found himself overworked trying to treat so many patients.

Nevermind.... bad info

Here's the Lancet published study www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/articl...(20)30260-9/fulltext

Here's the projection based on the Lancet study in the Taiwan news

Admittedly the Taiwanese aren't China's best friends but the math the article used from the study is pretty straightforward.

Voyage of the Dammed?
There is a Holland America cruise ship that had Coronavirus victims on it sailing around Japan. Japan lets it dock to get food and take off new CV patients diagnosed but so far it will not let the other passengers fly out of Japan. The ship is in a bit of a dilemma. They have already cancelled their next cruise. They are thinking about going to Manilla or back to the States if either place will accept the "plague boat'.

Second topic: Many rich Chinese have second homes in Canada and the United States. I wonder if they are also trying to get out of China. Should the US and Canada let them in?

A bit of history on the impact of shipping [global movement] on the Spanish influenza. www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/politics/191...anish-flu-impact.php

Note they had the same problems being experienced today and we learned back then that quarantine was the answer. tedium.co/2017/10/16/american-samoa-spanish-flu/

They didn't have common instantaneous worldwide travel back then. I fear this will be much worse.

This study, while not yet peer reviewed, pretty well sums up the case that the virus has been engineered. China essentially nuked themselves with a biological weapon.

My virus protection wouldn't let me into your source, it would be interesting if this is the case. Personally I think it is more random than that. I am going to stick with the bushmeat theory on how this disease jumped species.

Came across something bizarre this weekend, the Chinese government thinks it is racist if other nations refuse to visit and do business with their nation at this time. Um, even Chinese people are doing the best they can to minimize contact with other Chinese! The Beijing government was demanding that people go back to work this week. I worry this will only make things worse. Risk so many more lives to keep the economy going.
