China in State of Panic as Coronavirus Death Toll Rises
5 February, 2020
Mass
Quarantine Camps and Wartime Conditions
Quarantines
are in place by land and by sea. People cannot leave their homes but
once in three days in at least 6 Chinese cities.
The
death toll in China is at least 565 as the lockdown enters a third
week.
Close confinement on a cruise ship is not exactly where you want to be as 10 More Test Positivefor the coronavirus.
About 3,700 people are facing at least two weeks quarantined on the cruise ship. "Experts are worried the virus could spread in such a congested and enclosed space," he said. "They have also advised passengers not to leave their rooms."
Taiwan has banned all international cruise ships from docking on the island effective from Thursday.
It earlier turned away the World Dream liner that is now docked in Hong Kong. Three passengers on board have shown symptoms of coronavirus.
Wartime Conditions
The city of Wuhan is in wartime conditions as officials Round Up the Infected for Mass Quarantine Camps.
Sun Chunlan, a vice premier tasked with leading the central government’s response to the outbreak, said city investigators should go to each home to check the temperatures of every resident and interview infected patients’ close contacts.
“Set up a 24-hour duty system. During these wartime conditions, there must be no deserters, or they will be nailed to the pillar of historical shame forever,” Ms. Sun said.
The city has set up makeshift shelters in a sports stadium, an exhibition center and a building complex. Some went into operation on Thursday.
When Ms. Sun inspected a shelter set up in Hongshan Stadium on Tuesday, she emphasized that anyone who should be admitted must be rounded up, according to a Chinese news outlet, Modern Express. “It must be cut off from the source!” she said of the virus. “You must keep a close eye! Don’t miss it!”
Rising Count of Americans Quarantined on Military Bases
Two more flights evacuating Americans from Wuhan, China, the center of the coronavirus outbreak, are scheduled to land in the United States this week.
The first carried 195 Americans out of Wuhan last week; they are quarantined on a military base in Riverside, Calif. Two more flights landed in the United States early on Wednesday morning, and the 348 passengers, mostly American citizens, will be held at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, Calif., and at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego.
All of the passengers have been ordered to remain in quarantine for 14 days from the time they left Wuhan.
Bianco Update
This story confirms my argument that this chart is not of the virus growth (we don't know what that is) but of the Chinese Health system's capacity.
The fact that "suspected" cases fell (red) might mean they are at 100% capacity and not the virus is abating. twitter.com/biancoresearch…

Deaths Surge, No Containment In Sight
Yesterday,
I commented Coronavirus Deaths Surge, No Containment In Sight
Nothing
changed today.
Is
this a Hospital or a Coronavirus Deathatorium?
Also
yesterday I asked Is this a Hospital or a Coronavirus Deathatorium?
Today,
whatever you want to call these structures, people are being forced
into them.

Doctor’s Fate Is Murky; Social Posts Deleted
There
was confusion about the status of a Chinese doctor who had issued an
early warning about the coronavirus, after social media posts by
Chinese state media saying he had died were deleted and replaced by
messages saying attempts were being made to save him.
The
city of Wuhan told residents to begin reporting their body
temperature daily, and the large port city of Tianjin said it would
restrict residents’ movement, part of steps across the country to
stop the coronavirus outbreak from spreading. In Beijing, the Chinese
government voiced anger as countries placed more restrictions on
travellers.
Locked In, Literally
Locked In, Literally
China
is forcing people into quarantine camps, restricting
movement, locking
people in their homes (literally), demanding daily
temperatures updates from everyone, and now bitching about about
travel restrictions of other countries.
This
is truly a WTF state of affairs.
China
is now in a state of panic.
No
official counts are believable.
