I used a whataboutism because I was responding to something that I thought was a whataboutism

You literally don't know what that word means if you thought that was whataboutism.

China's doing a really good job at keeping this virus contained, and the xenophobia that they're receiving for it is ridiculous

There now I can't be accused of lying about what you say. A reminder that your response to people pointing out problems with China was to talk about Flint, Michigan not having safe drinking water, something all of China lacks.

For some reason a lot of people like to troll about this, including some of the mods here.

How has things been in quarantine? How is your fiancee doing?

people pointing out problems with china (and I use "pointing out" in the most generous possible sense. they were merely pointing out that there are problems with china, not stating explicitly what they are) was in response to me pointing out, correctly, that China is doing a good job of containing the virus and that people are being xenophobic in spite of that.

also: pointing out that they are doing a good job of containing the virus is not the same as "defending" china

Quarantine is boring, and 5 of the people here are already suspected of having it and at hospitals now. I feel like it could go cruise ship based on how badly it's being managed. My fiancee is stuck in Wuhan still, she is working remotely even though her company had a branch there. They don't want anyone returning to work despite the official return to work being Monday.

I also recently found out if I waited another week I could have been evacuated to South Korea, so that really sucks. Spent $1600 (already got return flight to Japan) and a lot of time for no reason.

I love how your posting style changed now that you are in the states.

Do they just track information being posted from their networks?

I would be a a bit worried they would tie the account to me.

If you think our medical systems are going to be able to handle 10's to 100's of thousands of cases you are in for a rude awakening.

I'm not the one who even said there would be that many cases. My point is simply that we in the US are much more likely to die from other causes and you're coming at me with "Oh yeah? Well what if!! What if millions get infected? What if the death percentage remains the same??" (Which I again assert is unlikely and that you're extrapolating from too small a data set)

Japans health authorities will not test all of the passengers and crew of the Diamond Princess cruise ship off Yokohama, Japans Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said today.

Here's why: Suga said it would be too difficult to test everyone for the virus but that the government provides necessary information to ensure the good health and safety of the passengers and crew members on the ship as a top priority.
Suga says authorities are testing samples of people who have fever, those over 80 and feel ill, as well as those who had close contact with infected passengers.
There are more than 3,700 people on board the cruise ship, including 2,600 passengers.

About the ship: There are 65 newly confirmed coronavirus cases on the Diamond Princess ship docked in Yokohama, bringing the total number on board to 135. The new cases nearly doubled the total, from 70 confirmed cases on Sunday.
At least 24 Americans are infected on board the ship.
The vessel has been quarantined since Tuesday, and passengers are expected to remain under quarantine for at least 14 days.

That's why those who feel sick are being taken to hospitals off the ship for testing and care.

US health official explains how travel restrictions may not contain coronavirus
From CNN's Michael Nedelman
The United States top infectious disease doctor said that the novel coronavirus is currently under control "but that could change very quickly," rendering travel restrictions ineffective against the spread of the virus.
"Once you get a diffuse outbreak throughout the world, you're not going to be able to control it by travel restrictions," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN's Jim Sciutto and Poppy Harlow on Monday.

"You're going to have to do what we call mitigation, or dampen the effect within a country," Fauci added. "Clearly we're not there yet. We still have very few cases. But we need to be alert to the possibility that this will get worse."
"This particular virus has a much, much greater capability of spreading widely than SARS did," Fauci said.

Not everyone gets deathly ill. Most people's symptoms are fever, a cough, and bad mucus build up. Plus they aren't being locked on the boat. If you read up on it symptoms can range anywhere between a common cold, to pneumonia, to organ failure. Most people will only experience minor symptoms with older people having more complications or to people already compromised. Given I am in my 30's and hardly get sick from the flu will likely develope minor symptoms. Same as most here. Some aren't so lucky but it isn't the death sentence people make it out to be.
This isnt the case. Young people have been dying from this as well. But thats not the point. You make it sound like candy and roses being stuck on that ship, which is easy to say from your position on the other side of the world without a care

I would be curious to see how many "healthy" Americans die from the flu, as opposed to the elderly and/or infants.

Like a healthy dude in his early 30s dying from the flu seems very unlikely, but I could be wrong. I'd just be curious to see.

There's something called a cytokine storm :-

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140227142250.htm

In which the immune system got triggered into a overdrive and damaged the lung in the process of killing the virus. All the worse if the infected is a healthy individual in his prime.

Japan has very strict human rights protections on some things because they are absolutist in following their constitution. It isn't like American where it's normal to reinterpret what is written. Because of this they determined they could not force Japanese citizens into quarantine, hospitalization, or testing. But thankfully most have agreed to voluntarily.

That makes zero sense. Anything he said was censored or deleted online and he was forced to recant what he said and stop saying it. Even the central government is now scapegoating local authorities because they know they fucked up.
