SARS 2003 total infected was only 8098! Wuhan Coronavirus UPDATE: total infected now 5578 as of 7pm EST

Which means this current virus is a big nothing just lie sars was.

Over 200,000 people die from the flu EVERY year in china.

In the usa it wildly varies between 12000-61000 every year.

a bunch of panic about nothing.

Yes - I am aware that many die from the flu even in North America.

My point is that all the SARS hype will be nothing compared to this current outbreak!

which corona virus? the common cold or the enhanced SARS do you mean?

then why did china quarantine and lockdown roughly 40 million people and started building 3 new hospitals ?

do they do that for the regular flu ?

The enhanced SARS that caused 774 deaths (see Wikipedia post)

4500??? at one hospital maybe

I think you need to add two or three zeros on the end of that figure.......

Exactly.

Oh I agree. I am assuming both events as being extremely under-reported. Aka - if China posts numbers exceeding the 2003 SARS outbreak we are in trouble.

Yep.

Drastic times require NEW IDEAS. Pick a nice island with nice hotels, evacuate island of all the well people and make them comfy on mainland. Put your sick people (that will include nurses, doctors, and medical supplies) on that island. AirDrop all the supplies. Treat them nice, give them luxury. Patients need the ultraviolet light of natural sunshine to heal NOT A HOSPITAL.

For God’s sake quit putting them in hospitals and foaming the doors shut and wasting resources, exposing healthy care workers! This would be CHEAPER AND MORE HUMANE THAN A HOSPITAL. The warm sunny weather would do them good.

We need a radical change in thinking. Save the hospitals for the normal stuff, do not overwhelm them.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE, I AM FOR REAL, THIS WILL WORK. Then you don’t have to quarantine any more cities and destroy economies.

This is not a “draconian measure” suggested by experts that only think traditionally. This is humane....sunshine, fresh air, and total quarrentine.

Nice idea. I fear they are not building a hospital but a morgue.

It took 3 months before confirmed SARS cases reached 1000. It took 5 months before it escaped China. Wohan Corona is looking FAR more virulent

Ah - the one star bandits have arrived!

Good observation!

at 4,473

I believe the official numbers are still at that. The number of over 4500 was from the Washington Post.

Also, this is an interactive map I have been keeping an eye on from Johns Hopkins University. No new numbers have been added for many hours so I expect we will see a big jump later in the day.

Fake as hell...

No kidding! I am not saying the numbers aren't fake, but I think that there is validity in comparing the "official version" of both outbreaks.

Corona-Tards

I actually hope that this is a nothing-burger, but we can't completely ignore this!

Wish I could see your face next month when you realize how wrong you were.

You haven't seen any of the real numbers, reports, or even personal accounts from friends inside China like I have.

Those of us with actual inside sources know this is the big one, keeping laughing shit brain...keep laughing

Thanks, AC - I believe you are right!
Take a look at this thread from a fellow GLPer:

Thread: WW3 Europe front. UPDATE page 532 -February 2024, the decisive month

New numbers in: Number of infected from this morning has risen from approx 4400 to 5578 since this morning.

Next update 2 am EST

That's confirmed infected and could even be made up, it could be a lot higher all the people hiding at home etc
