Why did you post this on page 2 of a topic instead of making an AMA topic?

Was gonna make my own topic but I saw this and TC has been pretty dedicated to keeping up to date, so I figured why not make this the megathread

I don't see what the fuss is about for the USA. A bunch of the infected people they brought here to Omaha are already getting better.

Rural areas could get fucked up I guess

Why would rural areas be more at risk?

My friend's friend who has wealthy Chinese friends says the death toll is closer to 250k with incinerators running 24/7 burning corpses.

Not sure if anyone else mentioned that already. I find it to be in the realm of possibility but doubt it's true.

I am 99% sure it's true. There were satellite images over Wuhan that tracked their ozone. Forget which element was alarmingly higher than normal, but the video detailing the images claimed that the element is attributed to burning biological material, ie-Dead bodies

@DanHaren2019

Is there any prep that is actually worth doing for something like this?

I bought a bunch of masks and hand sanitizer yesterday but is food and stuff like that really worth getting at this point?

Less access to quality hospitals. My aunt and uncle live like an hour away from the nearest hospital and apparently it's about as basic as it gets and they usually have to refer patients to other hospitals much further away.

Unless they have a mob of people infected with the virus coming after them, then I dont think they need to worry.

I honestly don't know about food and all that. I wouldn't be on lock down. But certainly good hand hygiene is wise. So hand washing when going out in public, don't touch your face, if you sneeze into a tissue dispose of it right away. Basic stuff that we should all do for flu anyways.

On one hand I agree

On the other, you see how panicked people are right now thinking the death toll is only a few thousand? Imagine the shitshow from finding out it's already over quarter million.

Would you be okay with millions of people panicking all at once? The world would collapse and its be something out from an apocalyptic movie.

Like I said, South Korea and Italy will surely unravel the truth of how fast this virus spreads and how deadly it is.... then we can compare it to China's and Iran's numbers.

it seems to be getting worse. new cases are being reported every day.

would the world be prepared if China was more transparent in discovery and origin of this? it took dying people to expose the severity of this remember?

once this coronavirus is controlled itll be forgotten and swept away while there needs to be answers and accountability for this pandemic. the next pandemic will probably change the world if we dont learn from the mistakes from this

China doesn't give two shits about transparency.

The CCP(Chinese Communist Party) deliberately hides things because it only cares about staying in power by all means necessary.

The average Chinese citizen has ZERO methods of rebelling against the CCP.

The VERY FIRST major act that Mao Ze Dong did in his Communist revolution after using the people to defeat "Chiang Kai-Shek's" forces and driving them to Taiwan was to confiscate arms from the civilian population and ban them from ever owning arms.

Now the average Chinese citizen has ZERO means of fighting back and are subject to the CCP's every order, command, decree, whim, & fancy.

That's why there was the initial 8 weeks cover-up before they finally admitted to things.

They cared more about social stability and harmony.

im sure the government has briefed all utility facilities and power plants to have critical workers isolated there without contact from outside people in case we go to martial law. Last thing we need is the power going out and water stopping,

My main concern as well. Thankfully I dont need heat or a/c but water is huge. We have bottled water but not enough if it's long term. I may need to get more.
