The Ontario person to person spread article is here: [link to www.castanet.net (secure)] I try to keep the order of the headlines and the order of the links the same so it's less confusing it you want to read the actual article yourself.

User ID: 77771189 United States 02/28/2020 02:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is a good site for the statistics: Quoting: Jolly Jumper [link to gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com (secure)] So the death rate is about 3.4% Usually in a pandemic about 2/3 of population get infected. So we can expect about 150 - 200 millions of deaths worldwide. In the USA about 7-8 millions u forgot to add the # for the economic collapse.then adjust for riots,looting,and other illnesses due to lack of treatment,etc. total predicted over a month ago over 3years 1 BILLION. and i think it will happen in less than the 3 yrs. remember from the EMP predictions that lack of medicine will cause lots of deaths. in a EMP 90% die in 1 year. even with the power and water on,i thin govern will work to keep these on as long as possable, CHINA produces everything. so we still have the shortages even thou the trucks can still pump gas. US could b looking at 100 million by itself,total deaths. JAZZZ50 2020 The SHTF literally as TP ran out. we went from being over the target, to actually being the target. too close to the truth. if i had a dollar for everytime someone says "merge" without using the word, i'd b so green i'd b King of Mars. |

After a short period of time Victims spread the disease to the medical staff of those hospitals. Fear and desperation takes over the mind when you face death. It only adds to the potential outcome of death. I'm sure that added to the high mortality rate in Wuhan. America is a completely different beast. Supposedly we are at capacity at hospitals nation wide because of the “flu” already. Add to that if COVID19 is actually here in the states already and we are at the tail end of wave one then most doctors and nurses in high risk areas are already exposed since there is no real protocol to deal with COVID19. (Aka no testing being done) And with the great response we are getting from the federal government I’m sure it would all be ok if it really breaks out here. |

(OP) User ID: 78382039 United States 02/28/2020 02:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey OP Quoting: ETpeace Any idea why there is very little news outta China? How many in lockdown? I heard Starbucks is 85% up and running. Really??! The CCP has gone into overdrive shutting down the information flow, such as I mentioned in this headline here from earlier this week • China is using WeChat and Twitter to find and silence people sharing how bad it is over there [link to www.theverge.com (secure)] Also, the 'lower by the day' numbers are bullshit, and they've used a combination of financial incentives and the police to force people back to work. It was either that or actual complete collapse on a national scale and was a matter of national survival. Oh, and yes, I saw the exact same statistic on Starbucks. Whether it stays that way or not and whether a portion of those workers were among those forced to go back to work whether they wanted to or not I couldn't begin to say.

Was pinned from about 8:00AM this morning until around 3:30 or so this afternoon... Also, I don't have time to do these on weekends, so it'll probably be Monday morning before this thread gets another round of headlines. Plenty of time for the doom to pile up! Pisces |

(OP) User ID: 78382039 United States 03/03/2020 01:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Edit: Be sure to see my next post here after reading this one -------------------------------------------------- Sorry for those of you following this. I was a bit busy with work yesterday, but honestly I sort of lost the motivation to keep it up. I was more doing it in the run up to the spread here in the US. Now it's here, everywhere. It's in Tampa where my daughter and her family is, it's here in Georgia where I am, me and all of my family has 100% maxed out our preps as much as possible and there's just nothing more to be done than sit back and watch at this point. The number of cases announced in the US changes hourly, our government and officials are lying and covering up at least as bad as the Chinese, and at this point you're either on fire with doom or you're one of the types that will call this a nothingburger even as they gasp their last breath. Also today is one of those 'zero news' days. We had a couple no-news days in a row a couple weeks ago that were really annoying, but they were followed by tons of super doom. I'm pretty sure that's the case today as well. No news today, but plenty of doom coming for tomorrow. On top of that, news out of China has completely dried up except for the "it's all good, everyone is healthy again, nothing to see here" garbage, and it's really like that for most other countries now except S. Korea at this point. I guess I feel like there's less point rounding up online news at this point and it's time to start watching the spread out of the windows and front door of your own home. Kinda like in 28 Days Later where they said something along the lines of "pretty soon it wasn't on the TV anymore, it was outside in the streets, it was coming through your windows and your front door." If tomorrow is a decent news day I'll pack up another snapshot and file it here. Last Edited by Pisces225 on 03/03/2020 02:14 PM Pisces |

(OP) User ID: 78382039 United States 03/03/2020 02:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ok, I know some of you have missed the updates to this thread, and after posting my last comment I thought about it a bit more and came up with a different perspective. I’ve been putting together international snapshots in the anticipation of a wider spread here in the US. Since that’s where I am that’s what I care about most. Now that it’s beginning to happen, rather than just abandon this thread I’m going to shift focus away from international headlines to almost entirely domestic headlines. I’ll include a snapshot of the most interesting/important headlines concerning events in the US, and will only include international headlines that are particularly interesting. Most of the international reporting has either dried up or we aren’t getting it here in the US anyway. I’ll also include an official state case count at the end, even though we all know the official count is just as meaningless as the numbers we got (and are getting) out of China. I started to try to put together a list of school closures, but fairly quickly decided that was a non-starter; there are just too many already at this point. Besides, if a district in your area is closing schools and you have kids you’ll certainly know about it. If you don’t have kids or it’s a district on the other side of the country you probably won’t give a shit. I also started to put together a list of states and counties declaring a public health emergency, and even though it’s not a massive list right now, it’s growing quickly and would be tough to sustain an accurate list over time. So here are some of the domestic doomlines for today, a couple international, and our current state case count. That said, DOOOOOM ON! Domestic Doomlines • Manhattan attorney in his 50’s becomes New York’s second case • Second NYC case is also an example of community spread with no international travel or links to knows cases • Six dead in Washington State – most are from the nursing home outbreak there (more than 50 are sick with Kung Flu but they won’t test them until they are moved to the hospital to die) • Federal Reserve announces emergency interest rate cut due to Kung Flu • LifeCare Center nursing home residents being “held hostage in a petri dish”, refuse to test residents – watch for this to turn into a non-floating Diamond Princess story • Panic shopping / hoarding / prepping / stocking up – whatever you want to call it, it’s happening • “Coronavirus is going to go away when it warms up” nonsense begins to go the way of the “it’s just the flu” nonsense – this isn’t going to go away in summer months like the flu • “I’m an emergency doctor and I will likely become infected – it’s just simple math that I have accepted” – really decent article on the various considerations facing healthcare workers • Georgia confirms first two cases in Fulton County Sunday evening • US schools in a ‘state of alert’: School spread of COVID-19 “absolutely something to worry about and it’s absolutely going to happen, it’s just a matter of when” – Dan Domenech, Excutive Director American Association of School Administrator • Seattle Dept. of Homeland Security office closes after employee visit LifeCare nursing home, four days later exhibits symptoms, later tests positive and was going to work all four prior days while infected and asymptomatic International Doomlines • Iran releases more than 54,000 prisoners to prevent spread in jails • 23 of Irans 290 lawmakers are infected • Tokyo finally considers postponing 2020 Olympics Official (bullshit) State Case Count: Edit: Within 90 minutes of posting a current case/dead count it was outdated. There's no point trying to keep up with the number of suspected/confirmed/monitored/dead cases in an often once daily update as the numbers are moving too fast now.

If the 20% of severe patients can't get ventilation and whatnot they will very quickly move into the "dead" category. Let's just hope the people that say the virus will become endemic among 60-70% of the population are wrong. |
