I was watching them as well.
I wasn’t sure what to make of the data as the sample size was small - and they are likely following mainland China’s protocols.
Probably the difference is how swamped (or not) the hospitals are.
One big difference in the world data seems to be how long the virus went undetected, another is how robust is the local medical infrastructure.
It is going to be hard, up-hill battle to keep this out of high risk areas like nursing homes etc.

Without looking at any data I’d say macao isn’t testing enough. Like in Canada. Ontario has only tested 2500 people. That’s a joke. Especially with daily flights flying in from hotzones.

Look to Italy for true numbers @Craigson15 there health care system is one of the top in the world.

Just like the USA…A diversion from reality! Hope some sane people begin thinking instead of blindly following.

Gov Cuomo just announced National Guard to New Rochelle NY
Not as Police just to assist… Yeah Right

Does anyone know if Everclear 190 (95%) will also act as ISO to use to disinfect the virus , if so the local liqour store may be your best bet now.
There are other high proof alcohols to used to make tintures.
Just a heads up.

Also of interest:

  • The CDC is expanding its guidance for people at extreme risk of serious illness, like those over 60 or with underlying health conditions.
  • Those over the age of 60 should start stocking up on enough groceries and medications to have on hand, the CDC said.
  • Those at greatest risk of serious illness should stay home as much as possible if COVID-19 comes to their community, the CDC said.

And, it appears that testing for this bug is still uncommon / limited. I’d just recovered from the flu with a secondary spiking fever days later. Went in for evaluation yesterday and was tested for the “seasonal flu”. Results negative. Was prescribed antibiotics for an unknown secondary infection of some sort. No tests were performed for the Covid19.

Things are heating up and as the new test kits become available I’d expect significant jumps in the tally here in the US.

There are many people who feel there could be other things at play regarding this “virus”…Such as a new currency, and forced vaccines.

Call me a conspiracy theorist all you want…But, anything The Bill And Malinda Gates Foundation has anything to do with, is pure evil.

Be safe everyone…

So wait… you have an unknown respiratory illness and they won’t test you for covid-19? What state are you in if you don’t mind me asking.

Nope. They did do a chest x-ray for pneumonia.

State is MA.

Yes, dilute it down to ~70%.

Using alcohol on the hands will eventually cause other problems, best to cut it with aloe or glycerin.

"Last year, Bill Gates said that 33 million people could die from coronavirus in 250 days.

A few months ago, the head of Microsoft held an exercise called Event 201, which simulated an outbreak of a new virus that killed 65 million people in 18 months. The idea of the teachings is simple – globalization in the name of salvation. Well-known pharmaceutical giants and the Pentagon representatives took part in this exercise. The timing of the exercise cannot be a coincidence: when the exercises were conducted, the coronavirus did not exist. It should either be Nostradamus, or a person who created it [the virus]. Therefore, these exercises directly confirm Gates’s involvement in this problem."

Because they shut everything down asap. Where as in other countries they are still waiting to see where things are going.

Now in the case of Italy I think there are a few factors, first there seems to have been a mutation of the initial form. Second the infected got mixed up with other patients that didn’t have symptoms in the hospital they were admitted, now many are preparing campaign tents to isolate them as much as possible.

Where I am, patient zero apparently came from Milan. Even with what was already going on I have heard of people that went to Italy for some days Holliday…

Greece has shutdown schools and universities. A bit too late imo

Another trend in countries controlling the outbreak is the speed at which they are identifying Sick people And who were in contact with those infected people. Along with draconian measures and social distancing. this seems to work. That’s what we are seeing in South Korea

The countries that aren’t testing early on and a lot are going to get rocked hard. North America is in some trouble.

It would take courage for the leader of a country to make the sacrifices necessary to stop this disease.
Something in short supply these days.
