Supposedly this peaks at night when they're running the crematorium.. But I dunno. Plausible I guess but not sure I buy it as evidence that thousands are really dead.
Most people are in denial... but this virus could go into the history books if containment measures worldwide fail ..
If you see how much effort is needed to get people better you see it’s a problem of quantity , and seeing it’s highly contagious, quantity could become a problem. It’s a problem not being able to hospitalize or care for them all and the secundair actions it triggers that could also provide a problem such as caring for people that already need care, so those dead’s are indirectly caused by this virus ...
Let’s hope it doesn’t get that far !

To be fair they did put some effort in. Provided a graph and everything as to why it was less serious then SARS.

As much as I love the Chernobyl series, the bit about a multi megaton steam explosion wiping out half the continent is nonsense that came from a single Soviet source and unfortunately ended up being featured prominently in the show. To turn all that water into steam instantly requires the energy of a medium sized atom bomb and even then the energy released by the steam would not be nearly enough.

^ I ain’t no nuclear physicist but I thought it was a steam explosion that would release all the nuclear material in the other 3 reactors that was the issue.

Do you have another source? That link requires a subscription to read the full article.
But when the first line reads "Britain could suffer a “major outbreak” of the coronavirus" it's pure speculation that I'm guessing the article spins off from. Watch out for those quantifiers in scare articles.

No sorry I grabbed it from the Apple news app. Yeh the title is very click baity when it’s actually discussing the same problems that China is suffering from with medical supplies dwindling and it could have a similar impact on the nhs.
A short excerpt:
Edit:
Also how the NHS could become overwhelmed by the scale if their is a pandemic.

No health system exists in the world that would not be overwhelmed by a serious outbreak of this virus before a cure or vaccine is found. The poor countries lack the infrastructure while the rich countries have way more old people who will need to be hospitalized if they get sick.

This is very true but the NHS gets overwhelmed with winter flu and recently the novoviris a non lethal virus and the NHS struggled with demand so something like Corna it’ll fall like a house of cards.

I'm currently living in China, so here's a little view of things from the ground (although over 1,000km from Wuhan):
- pretty much every apartment complex has been closed off. You're allowed to wander around the complex gardens, but you need a permission pass if you want to leave the complex to buy food etc. Every household is issued 3 per week.
- in my apartment complex there was an infected woman who travelled back from Wuhan and subsequently infected her adult son. They each have their own apartments in different buildings within the complex. Both of those buildings have now been completely sealed off and quarantined for 14 days. Nobody is allowed to enter or leave. People can order food, which is then placed outside the elevators for them to pick up. I hope no cases turn up in my building
- things are eerily quiet outside. There are hardly any cars or people about, and you get your temperature checked when entering supermarkets etc. Everyone seems pretty relaxed.
- the overall vibe I'm getting from everyone here is one of boredom at being stuck inside rather than that of fear
Apparently, some people are going to be allowed to go back to work, starting from next week (albeit, at staggered times). Personally, I'm doing fine. Although I'd obviously prefer to be able to go outside as normal, I'm the type of person that can always find something to do, even when stuck inside (playing games, reading, playing guitar, watching movies etc).
Anybody got any good prison cell exercise routines they can recommend so that I can get a good workout in?

^ 100%This.
The idea that we should somehow wring our hands over whether the NHS could cope with a Pandemic is pointless. We're not building Hospitals with a view that a pandemic is going to strike at a moments notice, and few Hospitals are designed with a view to treating highly infectious diseases on-masse. Sure a lot of ppl get admitted for Flu, but that doesn't require Doctors and nurses to wear hazmat suits. There's a big step up in the complexity of containment going on here.
If it does break out in a major way it will probably run havoc through the country and a lot of people will likely die though I suspect the government would look to enforce no-travel zones in order to contain any regional outbreaks when detected, though it's fair to say that probably won't happen overnight.

I'm far up north where the temperature currently ranges between -21°C and -10°C, so I doubt that there are too many people freezing their tits off on the roof at the moment
. At least the cold does makes staying at home a little more tolerable (although I miss being able to go skiing and snowboarding).

they did this type of thing the very first week of locking down the city, it was more of a Let's Go Wuhan, we can do this type of shouting and encouragement based on some of the translations for youtubers back then
It did not sound like this at all but it does look like the same city same buildings shapes and all

Yeah the death toll in an already malnourished population would be high; however they are basically tied to their home villages like serfs. If a village gets decimated it probably won't become a nationwide epidemic, unless it originates in the capital.
