It’s a public broadcaster, like the CBC in Canada.
The figures coming in are a bit worrying.

If those are the true figures it’s reLly not that concerning.. that’s about a 2% fatality rate, the original estimates were at 3% which compared to other epidemics was pretty low to begin withThe figures coming in are a bit worrying.

Very likely they are underreporting. And listing inaccurate causes of death. I’m just trying not to entirely freak myself out. My kids both just had the flu. My client had the flu. Half the school I work in has the flu. That’s bad enough. Can’t deal with more than that.
No, please don't freak yourself out!
I'm sure they will manage to contain and cure it.

Honestly I thought I was going crazy wondering why the Japanese were speaking Spanish.

I just spoke with a man in Hong Kong. He said that's it's basically like the flu, affecting mostly the young, old and ill-immuned. But they are charging $25 usd for a box of face masks and people are terrified, lined up around the block to buy them. Because of their past with SARS, they are scared. Anyone caught trying to cross the border are rounded up and put in fever camps left over from the SARS outbreak.
*Hong Kong is not under quarantine (but they are snatching people who try to cross the boarder) and he says only 8 people have it so far. He says whatever China is reporting, times it by 10 to get an idea of true numbers.

This is good. The guy who’s in charge of the response to the outbreak in Shanghai gave an update recently.
My favourite part is the announcement that all the doctors who have been on the front lines will be relieved and replaced with doctors who are members of the Communist Party. As he said, in effect, “Party members are sworn to put the public welfare first, so now’s their chance to honour that oath.” I guess another way of looking at it would be that ideologically pure doctors will now be on the front lines and able to manage the story, but I somehow don’t think that’s the reason.

Coronavirus declared global health emergency by WHO
The World Health Organization calls for moves to stop the virus spreading to vulnerable countries.
www.bbc.co.uk
Coronavirus has been declared a global emergency by the World Health Organization, as the outbreak continues to spread outside China.
"The main reason is not what is happening in China but what is happening in other countries," said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, making the announcement at a press conference in Geneva.
The concern is that it could spread to countries with weaker health systems.

People are going to die because Trump didn’t put a disabled queer Latinx on the team. Way to go, fascist!

CNN is being ridiculous again! I've been trying to peg you, though. And I think I've got my answer.
