Coronavirus: Whistleblower Dr Li Wenliang confirmed dead of the disease at 34, after hours of chaotic messaging from hospital

Li was one of the first doctors who tried to share information about the coronavirus only to be reprimanded by Wuhan police
Wuhan Central Hospital initially denied reports he was dead, saying he was in “critical condition”, before finally confirming he had died

Li Wenliang – one of the first doctors who tried to alert the public about the coronavirus outbreak, only to be reprimanded by local police – has died, Wuhan Central Hospital confirmed early Friday morning, hours after it initially denied reports of his death.

“In the fight against the pneumonia epidemic of the new coronavirus infection, our hospital's ophthalmologist, Li Wenliang, was unfortunately infected. He passed away after all the efforts we’ve taken to resuscitate him. We deeply mourn his passing,” the hospital said on its official Weibo account.

Li, 34, died at 2.58am on Friday, the hospital added.

China threatens harsh punishments for people who disrupt virus control ... including the death penalty

From CNN's Lily Lee in Beijing

The Chinese government has issued new regulations to severely punish people who disrupt the epidemic control work. Those who violate the rules will be subject to speedy arrests and sentences, and even the death penalty.

In a joint statement released Saturday, China’s National Health Commission, Supreme Court, Supreme Procuratorate and Ministry of Public Security listed seven types of medical-related crimes.

Approval for arrest, prosecutions and trials will be fast-tracked as the epidemic prevention and control is at a "critical stage."

The statement ends by saying the death penalty will not be ruled out in severe cases.

The seven medical-related crimes affected by these new measures are:

Beatings, intentional injuries, and intentional killing of medical personnel.

Illegally restricting medical personnel's personal freedom using violence, threats, or blatantly insulting, intimidating, or slandering medical personnel.

Tearing protective gears off of and spitting on medical personnel, which may cause medical personnel to be infected with the new coronavirus.

Refusing to accept checks, quarantine, and treatment measures of medical and health institutions using violence, threats, or other methods, or obstructing medical and health institutions’ lawful disposal of corpses of infectious disease patients according to law.

Forcibly or intentionally destroying or occupying properties of medical and health institutions, or causing disturbances in the medical and health institutions, illegally placing dead bodies, setting up the mourning hall without permission, causing disorder and disrupting the normal conduct of epidemic prevention and control.

Illegally carrying guns, ammunition, tightly regulated instruments or explosive, radioactive, poisonous and corrosive materials while entering medical and health institutions.

Other situations that violate the safety of medical personnel and disrupt medical order.

The difference between the current outbreak size and potential size is enormous. Talking 10's of thousands/hundreds of thousands vs Millions/Billions.

Something 5 to 10 times more deadly than a normal influenza on a global scale like most normal influenzas?

In raw numbers, it will match the Spanish Influenza, but the global population is a lot larger and it will target the elderly primarily, as opposed to young adults in the case of the 1918 Pandemic.

The stuff of recessions, not depressions.
jergul

Wed Feb 26 01:08:51 2020
Epedimic control is mostly about slowing the spread. One infected person spread it to 3-5 during the spanish influenza. There are signs that this one could be lowered to something between 1 and 2 (less than 1 means the outbreak can be contained).

How that translates to number of infected before vaccination emerges is unclear.

I honestly have no idea if we will see numbers in the millions or not.

The Europe and Asian continents will have a tough time truly containing the virus, mostly because it was reaching there before people really took it seriously (re: China). Asia most definitely, but Europe by way of land connection. That's always been the biggest liability of Europe: no ocean protection.

The Americas will likely contain the spread, as we have that ocean barrier that Europe and Asia don't have. That is, unless the Fed keep making retarded decisions. With everyone else enacting quarantines, the number of infected traveling here is likely small. However, if any given American country gets seeded, you could see north/South America also get "ravaged."


Just don't pull a Japan. I'm expecting a large uptick of cases on the islands shortly, considering how they handled the cruise ship fiasco.

Coronavirus turning out pretty good for the world.

1) It's just another type of cold. Low mortality but long incubation so it spreads like wildfire. But still just another type of cold we'll have a vaccine for in 2 years and have to treat like the flu or the common cold.

2) Massive slowdown in world economy hitting even the US causing a recession. The only thing holding Trump's approval rating up is this economy.

3) Oil prices way down. Futures even lower. Frackers in tears and industry will probably have a dramatic collapse. They were already in trouble since so many wells had exaggerated the amount of extractable reserves.

Corona has so far a mortality rate of 2-3% which is substantially higher than 0.0005% (cdc numbers for flu season). If the cold had a mortality rate of 2-3%, most of the people in this forums would have been dead.

May be, could also be much worse. The unknown when dealing with pandemics is the reason to be careful. The numbers for the spanish flu for instance at the onset was 0.1% or something of that order, the real mortality rate is a construction after the fact. It got really bad because when it infected 100s of millions.

If you’ve been walking around your city recently believing that the face mask you wear to protect you from the coronavirus is also fooling facial recognition cameras, then we have bad news for you: Facial recognition is evolving.

New forms of facial recognition can now recognize not just people wearing masks over their mouths, but also people in scarves and even with fake beards. And the technology is already rolling out in China because of one unexpected event: The coronavirus outbreak.

Over the last several weeks, the deadly Covid-19 disease has forced millions of people across China to don surgical masks and N95 respirators. This has led China’s AI champion SenseTime to adapt its facial recognition product to identify people wearing these masks, according to an announcement from the company last week.

Authorities have identified the fringe Christian group Shincheonji Church as being at the heart of this outbreak.

At their services in the south-eastern city of Daegu, members likely infected one another and then fanned out around the country, apparently undetected.

South Korean health officials believe that a 61-year-old member of the sect who last week tested positive for the virus was among the first to be infected and is now at the centre of their investigation.

The female patient initially refused to be transferred to a hospital to be tested and is known to have attended several church gatherings before testing positive.

Any large gathering in a confined space she would have attended - like a church service - would have likely led to further infections, health officials say.
[...]





http://www.koreabiomed.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=7492
[...]
Lee Man-hee, the founder of the Shincheonji Church, expressed his views for the first time on the current outbreak. In a “special letter” to believers, Lee said, “The ongoing disease accident is the devil’s act to prevent rapid growth of the Shincheonji Church.”

The church founder went on to say, “Let’s fortify our faith further. We can win.” He then asked believers to avoid gathering for the first time and conduct propagation and education through telecommunication. “You should actively cooperate with the instruction of the government. This is our job.”

In a related development, Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung ordered Shincheonji Church to close all the churches in the province temporarily. Provincial officials estimate there are 32,000 believers and 17 related facilities in the province. Nationwide, the church members may total 230,000, according to the province’s interim estimation.

Dear whatever holy figure believe in these days, do you even understand the basics of an argument?

Of course the mortality rate is a guess; it will always be a guess until a disease has run its course. But it being a guess doesn't mean it's random turds pulled out of the backside of the most retarded asian to grace UP (and I don't mean the children, which is pretty sad). What you're effectively saying is that decades of research into disease spreading and mortality modeling is complete fuckery and your entirely uneducated guess is what should pass for the official estimate.

Even if we exclude your inability to understand that actual scientific understanding has gone into the 2-3% mortality estimate, the fact that you cannot grasp the basic concept of YOU MADE THE CLAIM SO BACK IT THE FUCK UP ASSHOLE is pretty astounding. It's literally the alt-right troll playbook: make a retarded comment with absolutely no relation to reality, then harass anyone who calls you on your stupidity with a demand for THEM to support the assertion that your original claim had no basis in reality.

Mortality rate in South Korea (which has been the most aggressive country in testing and thus capturing all the possibly infected people) has a similar rate of mortality so far of around .7% so far.

Again, not a perfect measurement since that number is conflated with people that are recently sick and may still die and other factors.

An egregious example of the opposite case is Iran which is showing a mortality rate closer to 10% than .5%. Almost certainly this means they are failing to test a lot of infected people and are undercounting cases.

So Hood can type a ton of bullshit if he wants. But numbers don't lie. They just allow us to narrow down the spectrum of options which includes a very good chance that the virus does not have a "2-3%" mortality rate.

Want to PMS some more Hood? Or maybe save all our time and stop being a little pissant.

"The Norwegian Centre for Disease Control think the mortality rate will be around in the 0.5% for Norway."

Seems like a reasonable guess. Not very scary. That number will drop to a tiny fraction for healthy adults.

Gotta love the flabby vagina projecting his leakage problems onto others.

I would think that 10700 deaths in Norway would be considered fairly serious.

Excess deaths could easily push 1%. Or increase all deaths by 25k per year to 75k in 2019.

That would be with a 40% infection rate and 0.5% mortality.

400 and change new cases in China
700 and change new cases outside of China

Well, fuck.

Is this going to turn into an event showcasing the advantages of an authoritarian state control?

China reporting can't be trusted... same for US now that everyone needs Pence's approval before talking to the public
