Because its obvious to anyone who's been paying attention that its more severe than the government is stating. People interested in cryptocurrency by their nature are going to be more skeptical of government than other groups so it goes without saying that theres overlap between people concerned about the coronavirus narrative and crypto advocates.

in a month you'll find that governments have suddenly ramped up their 'estimates' and concerns about coronavirus once the effects of it can no longer be denied ... using the plausible deniability of 'well... we know more now and are increased our initial estimates'.

the truth is they've known for a long time and intentionally misrepresented the threat because they'd rather risk the publics health on the chance that it doesnt take significant hold here rather than causing a panic by admitting how severe the virus truly could be.

Mortality rate is not the issue. The mortality rate will only increase as hospitals become flush with new patients. I'm a burger so I expect this to be the straw that breaks the camels back in terms of the economy. IF, if it gets big. Not saying it's conclusive that this will be "a thing", but the signs are all there and in my lifetime I have never heard of something that made China quarantine this many individuals.

mortality rate is significantly higher due to the methodology for diagnosing coronavirus in china as well as what criteria they use to determine if cause of death is attributed to coronavirus. Test shortages prevent majority of people from being 'officially' diagnosed with the virus, and if someone was not tested for whatever reason and dies from the resulting liver failure/fever of an undiagnosed coronavirus case china doesnt mark it as a coronavirus death. Ask yourself if it was really this insignificant than why is china going to such severe measures to contain it including culling pets, enforced quarantine camps, burning bodies without funerals, etc.

good point too. keep in mind that the R0 could be as high as 7. (per one person infected, on average they'll infect 7 people) even if its not fatal there's a critical mass for how many people can become infected and still maintain current supply lines.

Even if it doesnt spread beyond china, with chinese based manufacturing forming the backbone for most developed countries economies you can see how that could at least cause a logistical problem for the world.... did you know most pharmaceutical drugs are produced in china?

15% of patients need intensive care or they die.
It's only 2% now because we have enough machines to keep people alive, once the number of patients rises and all machines are occupied the number will get closer to 15% mortality rate.

Its math time nigga!!!

Italy has 7 deaths.
Numbers from wuhan show a 10% fatality rate for terminated cases.
This means we can conclude based on the 7 deaths that 70 people have had the disease and their cases have terminated.
The total lifecycle of the disease takes about 50 days, again based on numbers from Wuhan.
This means that 50 days ago there were AT LEAST 70 infected people in italy.
People become infectious after about 14 days.
The r0 is ~7.
This means that 50-14=36 days ago there were 7×70=490 new infected.
36-14=22 days ago there was 490*7+7×70 =3920 new infected.
22-14=8 days ago there was 3920×7 + 3920=31360 infected.
And in 6 days there will be ~31360×8=250880 infected.

This is in italy alone

If this was true, there would be way more infected in China (tens of millions), as the virus has been active there for months.

>> No.17414091

>>17413298
and there is 'way more infected' than the official numbers that are reported. china is downplaying the number of infected and dead as there arent enough test kits in the first place, and people who die without being tested arent tested post mortum. in other words... if someone dies of a complication from an undiagnosed case of 'flu-like symptoms' or renal failure brought on by the coronavirus they will not investigate that death or count it towards the official numbers.

They only have enough test kits to diagnose about 1/10 of the patients that show up at the hospital exhibiting symptoms, and the more people that get sick the harder it will be for china to meet the demand to manufacture those test kits.

all math is pulled out of some trannys hole, be that the CDC or WHO. I'm going to err on the side of caution and treat the virus with a level of preparedness that corresponds with chinas disparate response compared to 'official' numbers and guidance provided by WHO/CDC.

maybe its excessive, but I will implement full decon procedures in my apartment and stockpile on many months worth of food and water.
