Here is a very interesting way of displaying data graphically that helps to reveal whether any positive progress is being made. It's not a long video, maybe seven minutes:
Fucking exactly! This is shit is to be take n seriously and when we don't people die...if you want to try and justify being an anti-conformist by saying it is only the weak, old and compromised lovely. Tell that to the parents, children, grand children and friends of those that died sooner than they needed to so you could have your first world lifestyle unimpeded. The media kind of half ass explains how China handled it . I'm in the quartz business and since 2007 China has been my only source for the material. I have well over a year , yes over 500 days of travel in China in the last 13 years. I have many friends and business associates there and as previously mentioned my business partner is Chinese who came to the U.S. as a young man earned his PHD in Chemical engineering at USC and then went back to China and to make his first fortune. Kind of a credible source.
I am copying and pasting a message I received on Linkedin from one of my Chinese associates below so you can understand just how much more seriously China took this than MOST of the rest of the world and the results mirror the degree of severity that countries went about locking down. That faster and harder they were the better their results. In the message she tells he story but leaves out some hardcore details like the fact that if you were in Wuhan where 80% of the people live in apartments for two plus weeks you were locked in your apartment with a security tape seal across your door ...no in or out only able to get that door open when officials came with the bare necessities food, water, TP and prescriptions you needed to live.
With China going into their 12th week and the U.S. into our 4th per capita we already have twice as many cases..with 25% of CHina's population ...Houston...we have a problem....Hopefully we can improve on how we go about slowing this down....
"I am really felt so sorry about the worse corona virus situation in the world. Here I'd like to share the experience I went through personally in China when the corona virus started spreading from the end of January.
1. The mainly affected province Wuhan, Hubei, which is 60+ million population : The government locked all the city exits to stop any people to go out of the city, until now, Wuhan people still can stay at home only, even the situation already much much better now.
About the people already went out from HUBEI province, the local officials tracking their routine and asked these people isolated immediately at least 14 days, and the people he had contacted and the people in the same flight, same train and bus or taxi and places he visited, also under quarantine.
And about the people outside Hubei province, at that time it was the Chinese New Year, actually we need family and relatives reunion, but all cancelled.
We can only stay at home,can't meet and visit our relatives and friends.
2. All the buses, temples, restaurants, cinemas, shops, factories and schools etc.. are closed to avoid any people gathering. And the governments asked people to clean and sterilize the public place every day.
3. When I come back to XIAMEN from my hometown, every highway station need to check our body temperature and submit our health information in mobile App.
4. After arrived at Xiamen, the government asked us to isolate at least 14 days and every day need to report our body temperature to the local officers to prove our health status, including the kids.
5. After 14 days, finally we can go out, but have to wear mask. Temperature checking is in every entry of buildings and communities.
We also need to wear mask when working, and wash hands frequently by soap or alcohol based rub , the distance between people should be at least 1 meter. meanwhile, body temperature must be checked every day by our factory. Some staffs just catch a cold or cough, they were asked to stay at home immediately.
Sincerely hope the above information can do a little help for you to avoid any corona virus contact. If anything we can do for you, please feel free to contact us.Our minds and thoughts are with you. I hope all well.
Take care! Stay strong!!"
). Dick finally decides to get tested . Both Dick and Jane get positive test results. Jane infects no one once she started to show symptoms. Dick potentially infects dozens, if not hundreds, by his SELFISH behavior. Be like Jane Don't be a Dick! .
