The UK are already saying if you think you have coronavirus then don't go to the hospital or your local GP.
Instead call 111 where they are telling people to self isolate at home. So they are already promoting that as they simply don't have the beds/staff here in the UK to cope.

I suspect that if people are sick enough to think they need to go to the hospital, they aren't going to call ahead for reservations.

It's hard to think clearly when you're dying.

The Italian doctor who is infected here in the Canary Islands went to emergencies as soon as he had some symptoms even though he assumed he was probably in the clear.

After testing positive, he has been quarantined in the hospital alongside a couple residing at the same hotel that have flu symptoms.

The 1,000 tourists residing at that same hotel have been quarantined inside it just in case.

They will do a public press conference later today.

To clarify, he is indeed a doctor but he was here on vacation.
And hopefully it seems like they are taking it seriously, I do hope they try to keep track of everybody he was next to during the flight and stuff, like they did with the previous case.


EDIT: Video of the police putting the quarantine around the hotel in place twitter.com...

I have a question. Germany an Franve managed to prevent the spread. How did they it?

I work in the testing and certification field nowadays for a variety of antimicrobial products (things like micro ban, or Dow Silvadur) using test methods that show efficacy at reducing microbial populations. This includes general work like NSF sanitation certs on food equipment etc for in place cleanings.

Anyways, my company has about 50,000 employees. We had a engineer come back from a multi day conference in a few locations. He had passed through 3 different major airport hubs.

He was hacking up a lung. Fever etc, had to come in to finish some work (dick.) He went to the clinic - asked for a corona virus test, they refused due to no connection with someone from mainland china..

Its that way now in Japan. They'll only test you if you have a doctors referral an or admitted by ambulance with known symptoms of corona virus. I really feel sorry now for the ambulance and fire and police. The reason I say police is because when an ambulance is called out, many times the police have to follow up on the report. And yes, people still call the fire dept, sometimes its a lot faster when you live out in the country.

Just a thought...

To avoid this, ( if you are extremely ill) it might be an idea to say you'd spent some time sitting next to an Asian on the bus or Tube or something?

Not sure if this is a good idea or not 🤔

Coronavirus fight: discharged COVID-19 patient in China's Hubei shares recovery story


This is a short 2 min video in which one recovered patient shares their story. It took about 1 month to get over it and got moved between a few hospitals along the way.

The coronavirus priority assessment pods in the UK are just a room with a telephone in to call 111 . Which I'm then guessing they will tell you to self isolate at home and not goto the doctors or hospital , the UK isn't ready for any kind of outbreak by the looks of things.

I’m afraid of what is killing people in Wuhan. Which as we theorized in thread 1 may not be the same virus. Tennisdawg has “confirmed” this. One can chose to believe this or not.

Based on what I see and read I am choosing to believe it. I have been thinking of this angle for a long while.

The classified briefing to Senators definitely raises my eyebrows. There’s more to that than just military involvement. DHS knows something that we don’t beyond the current US preparedness stance.

Which raises some questions. If a second virus is present that has been decimating China, was China able to contain it? And it is only the "cover virus" everyone else is dealing with?

If China believes the infection was an act of war from an enemy action, what are they doing concerning a response? They obviously now have a good stock of infectious agents that they could disperse wherever they choose. Do they have a target for retaliation? Is the sudden blowup of new infections in Iran significant? If so, will that agent now be spreading out across the globe along with the more tame coronavirus that was used as a cover pathogen?

Wonder how long it will take to really sort all this out?

A couple of months worth of stuff is good, but you need more. Sorry to say, and not criticizing. You do what you can do. 

I am not going to lie here. I am patiently waiting and monitoring the situation. If/when the time comes, I have the ability to gain more supplies. I just don't want to burn up my reserves if not needed at the moment. I am picking up supplies slowly.

The key is to know when to act, that is the hard part.

It sure doesn't help that it seems that nearly every health agency is playing some real important cards very close to their chest. Doesn't give us the information we need in order to make rational decisions about our own health prospects.

This didn’t get the attention it deserved!

They are covering up the true scale of COVID-19 implications with all the censorship, lack of reporting and only happy news allowed policy. By undertaking this cover up it is leaving the rest of the world unprepared and exposed for large scale infections to take place.

It is tough it get accurate numbers on the current death toll. What if China did try and give a more accurate representation of the true situation and the death toll was to spike 20k-200k in a single day? Would it give other nations around the world a wake up call to take this situation more seriously?

So what is China doing in terms of a response? Not being candid to further promote the pandemic spread of this disease.

Well, as long as you are willing to potentially endure being locked in a room for quarantine for 14 days or better, go for it.

If (when?) the time comes that this is standard operating procedure for suspected coronavirus victims, they likely aren't going to advertise that fact. Otherwise most people will just stop going in anywhere to be tested.

IMHO.

Update from french finance minister via the guardian live feed:

"“The coronavirus epidemic is a game-changer for globalisation,” Bruno Le Maire said during a visit to Athens, adding that the outbreak had highlighted an “irresponsible and unreasonable” reliance on China.

“We cannot continue to rely on China for 80 to 85% of pharmaceutical active ingredients,” said Le Maire. And the resulting industrial slowdown in China would have a “direct impact” on industrial resupply, he added.

The minister said the virus that has killed nearly 2,600 people worldwide would have an impact on travel, given the number of Chinese tourists to Europe. France alone attracts more than 2.5 million Chinese visitors a year, an “important” share of the French tourism sector, Le Maire said.

In France, one person has died from the virus so far – an elderly Chinese tourist. A further 11 have been hospitalised, with 10 recovering."

I bet the so-called "coronavirus" is not even what is killing the Chinese. It could be something totally different. Probably find out that this is an anti-globalist attack on China specifically to demonstrate this over reliance.

Perhaps they didn't play the fake videos and broadcast the fake news? Could it all be fake?

Dunno, but we seem to be bloody good at it too, whatever that skill is. Genetics perhaps ????

It's really kicking off in Iran 15 deaths and no recoveries...

Korea has been reporting an increase in their infected... 85 new cases making just about 1000 and now this : www.reuters.com...

One of Korean Air's cabin crew tests positive for coronavirus

SEOUL (Reuters) - One of the cabin crew of Korean Air has tested positive for coronavirus, the airline said on Tuesday, prompting it to shut its office near the Incheon International Airport, where the crew briefing room is located.

Interesting

News here reported 50 dead

Wonder where they got these numbers, that being said Iran also lied about shooting down an airliner until they couldnt

Can anyone confirm the Johns Hopkins country list is not working? It seems to be down for me.
