JohnSurrey 548 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Coronavirus: Passengers leave Diamond Princess amid criticism of Japan https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51555420 "Several experts have questioned the effectiveness of the quarantine measures on the Diamond Princess. Kentaro Iwata, professor at the infectious diseases division of Japan's Kobe University, described the situation on board as "completely inadequate in terms of infection control". After visiting the ship, Prof Iwata posted a video to YouTube stating that the quarantine measures he witnessed failed to separate the infected from the healthy. The expert said he was more afraid of catching the virus on board than he had been working in the field in Africa during the Ebola epidemic and in China during the Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome) outbreak." 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it almost seems like they aren't allowed to post any deaths until they have CCP approval, which emphasizes how numbers are still being controlled by the Chinese government... 4 Link to post Share on other sites

The older people get, the more comorbidities [chronic diseases] they are likely to have. If you haven't got a disease now, just wait for a while and you'll get one. If you live long enough, you will get diseases. Not many people live disease-free and then die all of a sudden." 1 Link to post Share on other sites
