Maybe you should cough when you report for work and get quarantined.

One month into the worst viral pandemic in decades, China appears woefully unprepared to respond appropriately and decisively to a disease that has infected over 12,000 around the globe. This became obvious after several Chinese officials recently had media interview mishaps, in which their lack of knowledge about measures to contain the coronavirus were on full display, The Epoch Times reported.
On Jan. 29, the Beijing government sent a working team to Huanggang, a city with over 6.3 million people located just 30 miles east of the coronavirus epidemic in Wuhan in the Hubei province.

The team held a meeting with Tang Zhihong, chief of the city’s health commission, and Chen Mingxing, director of the city’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). State broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) accompanied the working team and recorded the meeting. When prompted with questions by the experts from Beijing, Tang couldn’t answer.

​

In the CCTV video, the Beijing experts asked the current capacity of hospitals in the city. Tang kept silent. When pressed again, Tang answered: “We have an official who is in charge of this issue.”


The experts asked what was the current number of confirmed cases in Huanggang. Tang first said it was “more than 200,” but Chen chimed in and said: "118."
It quickly went downhill from there: the team also asked, “How many patients are being treated in the hospitals?” Both Tang and Chen didn’t answer. This angered Chinese netizens, who commented on the news segment on social media.
The next day, the Huanggang government announced that Tang has been dismissed from her position.
Then, in response to the rising wave of public outrage, on January 30 the Huanggang government announced new lockdown measures.
According to the new rule, all roads in the Huanggang municipal area would be closed at midnight Jan. 31, with physical barriers and checkpoints. No vehicles can use the roads except “those for outbreak prevention and control, medical rescue, basic needs, and emergency rescue,” while taxis will only be allowed for expectant mothers, patients of severe illness, with only a certain number of taxis are allocated to each neighborhood.
Unfortunately, these long-overdue measures are coming too late, especially in light of recent news that up to 5 million potential carriers had already left Wuhan before the city was put under quarantine.
This was confirmed by Hubei governor Wang, who said at a Jan. 29 press conference that the number of confirmed cases are quickly increasing in Huanggang and three other nearby cities—Xiaogang, Jingmen, and Xianning. He added that he was worried "Huanggang could become another Wuhan."
Echoing this dire warning, on Friday the mayor of Huanggang said that there will be a significant increase in confirmed novelcoronavirus infection cases on Saturday and Sunday in the city, as some 600-700k people returned from Wuhan to Huanggang before the Wuhan lockdown.
And at a Jan. 30 press conference, Zhang Wenhong, leader of the outbreak response team in Shanghai, said: "Based on the current situation, this coronavirus will spread more broadly. I’m responsible for my words here and I can tell you the estimation of overseas experts are correct," he said, without naming which experts he was referring to.
Chinese authorities only began updating the outbreak death toll since Jan. 22. But experts from the UK and Hong Kong have estimated that the true figure of infections could reach 250,000 people in Wuhan alone by Feb. 4.

Meanwhile, doctors from Hubei hospitals told state-run media that they lack the human resources to treat patients. Some of them have worked for more than 24 hours straight. On Jan. 22, state-run Jiangsu Television reported that an Wuhan doctor was infected with the coronavirus after treating patients for 11 days. He was under self-quarantine and told his family members that he had worked 26 hours straight, as there were too many patients at the hospital.

First death outside of China reported in Philippines, India confirms second case

A man who tested positive for the new coronavirus died on Saturday in the Philippines.

The 44-year-old man was the second confirmed case in the country and the companion of the person in the first confirmed case, a 38-year-old woman, officials said. Both people are from Wuhan, China — the city at the epicenter of a coronavirus outbreak.

Officials said the 44-year-old man was admitted to the San Lazaro Hospital in Manila on Jan. 25 after experiencing a fever, cough and sore throat. Officials said he developed a severe pneumonia due to viral and bacterial infections before stabilizing in his last few days. The man’s condition, however, deteriorated rapidly in his last 24 hours, officials said.

“This is the first reported case outside of China. However, we need to keep in mind that he came from Wuhan, China,” Dr. Rabi Abeyasinghe, a World Health Organization representative in the Philippines said in a statement on Twitter.
...
The Indian government confirmed the country’s second case of coronavirus. This case involves a patient in Kerala, a southwestern coastal state where India’s first case was also reported.

[h=1]Cocktail of flu, HIV drugs appears to help fight coronavirus: Thai doctors[/h]

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai doctors have seen success in treating severe cases of the new coronavirus with combination of medications for flu and HIV, with initial results showing vast improvement 48 hours after applying the treatment, they said on Sunday.
The doctors from Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok said a new approach in coronavirus treatment had improved the condition of several patients under their care, including one 70-year-old Chinese woman from Wuhan who tested positive for the coronavirus for 10 days.
The drug treatment includes a mixture of anti-HIV drugs lopinavir and ritonavir, in combination with flu drug oseltamivir in large doses.
"This is not the cure, but the patient's condition has vastly improved. From testing positive for 10 days under our care, after applying this combination of medicine the test result became negative within 48 hours," Dr. Kriangska Atipornwanich, a lung specialist at Rajavithi, told reporters.
"The outlook is good but we still have to do more study to determine that this can be a standard treatment."
Chinese health officials have already been administering the HIV and flu drugs to fight the coronavirus. The use of the three together in a cocktail seemed to improve the treatment, the Thai doctors said.
Another doctor said that a similar approach in two other patients resulted in one displaying some allergic reaction but the other showed improvement.
"We have been following international practices, but the doctor increased the dosage of one of the drugs," said Somsak Akkslim, director-general of the Medical Services Department, referring to the flu medicine Oseltamivir.
Thailand has recorded 19 cases of coronavirus. Of the Thai patients, eight have recovered and gone home while 11 are still under treatment in hospitals.
Somsak said the health ministry will meet on Monday to discuss the successful treatment in the case of the 70-year-old but said it is still too soon to say that this approach can be applied to all cases.
"Initially we will apply this approach only to severe cases," he said.

A new theory about the virus is that China wanted to release a weakened version to naturally immunize their people against a stolen bioweapon but they accidentally released what turned out to be a very deadly version.

 

[Swordsmyth]

The most reputable outlet in China did a piece, translated here, on how China did not have the ability to treat Corona virus patients, and was sending them home to die, and then recording their deaths as unrelated pneumonias, meaning the stats on Corona virus are much worse than reported. The piece was censored, but not before the internet archived it. The test strips are limited to ten per day at one hospital, so confirmed numbers probably mean nothing as it is just a measure of how many test strips they have available. Of 120 fever patients, 80 have lung involvement, but only 5 get admitted to the hospital. The rest are sent home and will never be recorded. If they die, they are immediately cremated, and it is called general pneumonia, and not recorded as Corona. And only patients admitted to the hospital can be listed as suspected, which means when BNO reports 20,000 suspected cases, the number correlates to 320,000 lung-involved patients who showed up at the hospital, and 480,000 fevers who felt bad enough to go to the hospital, all of which were sent home, save for the original 20,000 who get listed as suspected. This is why we were seeing the unusual images of people laying out in the street – it is really bad over there. Bear in mind, it appears even those who beat it continue to shed, possibly indefinitely, meaning everyone may eventually get it. And it is not clear if having it degrades you physically after beating it, or if it may hang around to re-emerge later with stress or immune system degradation from other issues, maybe killing you later. Our only hope is it is Asian specific, though that may not do much for Asians across the globe, who will need a vaccine. This is why nations historically had borders, and why we need to establish them again. This was always going to happen.

American who caught Corona during a 2 hour stop-over in Wuhan on his way to Vietnam was Vietnamese-American, so he was Asian. They should let people know the races of the deaths, and even the confirmed cases in nations. Although they may think if it is Asian specific and everyone knows, non-Asian races will be less assiduous in avoiding it, and they may facilitate Asian exposures, so we may not find out for a while to protect Asian populations.
