What is very concerning is that information is drying up.
Lots of media feed about hospitals and cheering Chinese.
CNN posted a graphic comparing SARS to this thing.
They claimed the mortality rate was 2.2% and SARS 9.6%.
It is completely disingenuous as from time of diagnosis to death is seven to ten days with this thing. The death rates relate to known infections a week ago....
Chris Martenson does an excellent update.
His projections on a 40% diagnosis rate and around 20% requiring heavy medical support are a concern.
He isn't spreading misinformation, the data is at this point on the log scale, if it really gets exponential and even mutates, SARS was a mere head cold.
So presumably Qantas has a medical department, why haven't they told the little emperor of the risk to personnel and ceased flying?
