best thing i've read so far: https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/fbt49e/the_who_sent_25_international_experts_to_china/


ADDENDUM: however, someone how knows way more about this stuff that i do pointed out: "The data in China should be taken with a grain of salt: Chinese men smoke more than Chinese women and Chinese populations smoke more than American populations. Smoking is a huge risk factor of respiratory viruses.And a huge caveat to those data and others is the underestimation of the incident rate, which epidemiologists and scientists are saying can be underestimated as much as 10 fold (so that 3% fatality rate becomes a 0.3%...much closer to flu).
Not to say that older people aren’t effected worse, but just to say those numbers are the MAX fatality rate based on potentially faulty data due to the inadequacy of testing/surveillance."

THIS>>>>
China can now produce 1.6 million test kits for the novel coronavirus per week. The test delivers a result on the same day. Across the country, anyone who goes to the doctor with a fever is screened for the virus:
I keep hearing that we have like 1000 kits nation wide or something and it takes a few days to get the results?

why can't we just talk to china and say "um how are you making those and can we just buy that from you"

and when you don't have an answer...always good to blame Obama

Trump on coronavirus testing: "The Obama administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what we're doing & we undid that decision a few days ago so that testing can take place in a much more accurate & rapid fashion"

If anything, this makes this near-pandemic seem so much more approachable.

So our idiot in chief does a word salad of  misinformation on faux news and then right on queue blasts other news outlets for reporting on his word salad claiming fake news..

We are so screwed...
