Not the nicest place to spend your final days on earth
75% of "bad" cases survive, so.
It's much better than straight to graveyard.

Assuming a CFR of 0.5 - 3%, and all of them are covid:
1.5-9m infected.
*This makes a lot of assumptions

Saw it on the front page of Reddit.
Wuhan, endless queues for ashes of coronavirus dead cast doubts on numbers
During the epidemic, the dead were cremated immediately, without ceremonies and without specifying the cause of death. Now family members are waiting to bury the urns containing the ashes of their lovwww.asianews.it
"About 45,000 urnes will be distributed in Wuhan alone. "
It's largely based on this picture:
which is a joke when next to "45+ thousand urns" claim.
It's almost insulting: "the queue outside Hankow's Funeral Parlor was approximately 200 meters long "
45'000/200 => 225 persons per meter.
PS
Mkay, it's not as bad if you read entire article, shame on me, but still bad.

Are the only numbers I saw
Urns in Wuhan Prompt New Questions of Virus’s Toll
The long lines and stacks of ash urns greeting family members of the dead at funeral homes in Wuhan are spurring questions about the true scale of coronavirus casualties at the epicenter of the outbreak, renewing pressure on a Chinese government struggling to control its containment narrative.

Damn, I didn't even think off all the NYCHA buildings, and I feel like no one really ever does.
Theres a big complex in Chelsea, when they start having problems people will pay attention because that's the heart of Manhattan. You're going to have millionaires competing for the same resources and hospital beds as those in poverty. Things could get nasty.

Coronavirus: Extinction Rebellion distances itself from ‘fake posters’
The climate group criticises a message which claimed coronavirus was a "cure" for global warming.www.bbc.com
One of the benefits of a ‘loose’ organisation is that they can claim anything that backfires is not them.

Given that there are no lockdowns, it's formidable figures.
South Korea which allegedly "defeated" the virus, registers 50-100 cases a day.
Yeah, "perhaps thousands" stand in a 200 meter long queue.
High bazinga levels in that article.

They are just now getting around to asking people to stay home if they can the next few days.
When you look at all the new cases being announced, and see how many of the new cases were infected 2+ weeks ago, it's pretty troubling.
But they don't want to seem to actually do anything until things explode, but looking at how that has fared in other countries, you'd think they'd realise it isn't the best idea.

Japanese have advantage: they wear masks.
Even not so good mask is very effective at reducing crap coming out of an infected person.
This is baffling to me. Are we going to find other stockpiles in warehouses in a year?

GOOD LUCK AND BE SAFE, MENG.Looking at tents being put up all around the local district care facilities here in Sweden.. Had two local deaths, one guy everyone knew, a happy go lucky old Iranian who always walked with a cane in the centre of town, always happy, always greeting. Used to say hi to him everytime we went to the grocery store.
We've been lucky so far, but looking at the tents going up across the lawn feels eerie, thing are still going to get worse, before it gets better.
It really hasn't hit yet, but there is allready a shortage on medecines and protective gear, ambulance staff have to reuse single use items.
Makes ya miss our emergency storages we used to have back in the 90's, that got sold off because they cost money to have..We went from having 6 months of pretty much everything you can think of, to relying on whats in the chains. Welp, almost, atleast we have 3 months worth of gasoline.. Was interesting when they rotated out stuff from the storages, you'd be able to buy half a frozen a cow for next to nothing, and cheap chocolate, the military pea soup in a can was always a hit. Atleast now the calls are going out to rebuild those storages, but that'll take alot of time, and now it will probarly be really expensive too.
Hope everyone gets a good weekend!

I dont know.
Shit is weird.
Also to everyone .
Please be vigilant.
My wife had a patient yesterday a middle aged lady.
All beaten up. Her face beyond recognition.
She fall victim to a home invasion.
They came to her house claiming to conduct covid testing only to get hurt and robbed.
Dont open your doors to anyone claiming to be from ahs or other health services.

Last 3 years. Oh my god Trump is going to become a dictator and lock us all up.
Today. Oh my god why didnt Trump become a dictator and lock us all up earlier.
But ya cuomo could of locked things down earlier. Cuomo seems like the type of guy that will cry like a baby if Trump steps on his toes. He has been whining about his ventilators for days now. I cant imagine if Trump over ruled him and forced a lockdown on NY.

Yes they are not for reuse.
Almost one time use.
Hence the utter shock that a doctor has to wear the same one due to shortage.
Ps this means something to you , my wife works at the foothills so if anything amjor starts i can report from the horses mouth.
Not legal but gotta keep the info flowing

Any local news articles on this? Don't mean to call you out, because I don't know you from

but I know people on some forums are spreading misinformation to create panic. Home invasions over this would be a big deal, as is your other claim doctors are wearing the same mask for a week [one a day is in the news in worst case situations, not one a week].

The lady is my wifes patient.Any local news articles on this? Don't mean to call you out, because I don't know you from
She got brought in last night . My wife works night shift only on trauma in foothills medical.
Will it break news i dont know. I didnt check calgary news today. If i find it i post it.
Until then this is first hand information.
My wife is not making shit up and i am not here to spread lies for clicks.
My wife had several cases from high profile chinese gang boss to a retarded mother and son where they broke into a house surrounded by police. Both high as fuck the mother started to stab his own son and then cut her own throught.
At her unit when she was in to take care of the boy the boy asked her if he can talk to her mom.
Cop was in there as well. My wife didnt know what happened only to be told by the cop the mother is dead.
This was in the news but not in full detail.
Details are not released to public.
My wife is briefed on all cases and they have to keep their mouth shut.
A lot of her patients require protection so no gang member or other shows up to finish the job.
Again not here to create panic.
We heard on the news yesterday about all the scams going around here and in all of canada.
All i say stay alert.

Has anyone here been disinfecting their phones? I just thought of for example people being out in public and touching stuff and then touching their phones and then putting it to their face.
I don’t know if that is a major concern or not. I mean it’s not the same as someone coughing in your face, it’s 2nd or 3rd degree of potential transfer, but just something I thought of.

I wouldn’t trust shit coming from China at this point. The masks probably come pre-packed with the virus.

I think it should now be clear even to the last person in this forum that Italy has reached its peak. Now let's hope that the numbers will start to go down slowly but steadily in the next few days, so that in ~2 weeks Italy will have only 3-digit daily new case numbers.

What a weird spin to take considering that if they never contracted the virus, they probably wouldn’t be dead. Stupid.

Crazy if true, but we know they were running those crematoriums in overdrive weeks ago.

French teen is youngest known to die from coronavirus in Europe
A 16-year-old French schoolgirl with no underlying health problems has become the youngest person in Europe to die of COVID-19, according to reports.nypost.com
One of the most interesting things with this virus to me is how wildly different responses are from person to person. From no symptoms to dead in a flash. Very unusual imho.

Dude is totally right about this being a potential watershed moment. It's why I'm not critical of the US's reaction thus far and get really annoyed when I see people saying, "we should be more like China and South Korea!" No, fuck that, I'd rather have my freedom and privacy.

Which would be a reason why we can't just have billions of mask sitting around I assume? Like it would be great to stockpile, but what if the next pandemic is in 25 years everything we stock pilled now wouldnt they expire?

While I am sure a great many people appreciate your unbridled optimism, I am not sure how you can claim they have reached their peak.
They've definitely stopped the exponential spread, but they had the third highest new case count ever today. New cases are still outpacing recovered cases per day as well.
They've also been on quarantine for over two weeks now and we're still seeing 5900+ new cases per day. The incubation time is looking more like 4-7 days, so everyone getting sick now had to happen well after the lock downs were put in place.
Hopefully you're right and things magically turn around next week, but that's just what you said a couple weeks ago, and last week, and probably next week too. At some point you'll be right!
The deaths will continue to rise. I wish we had updated age specifics to see if it's still 70+ that are going, even with the overloaded hospitals.
