This gives us a decent picture of the nature of the disease. I would feel more comfortable if i saw folks going back to work in Wuhan. That would indicate folks had gotten over the disease in good order and were now immune to further exposure. So far empirical reassurance is scant.
We do read that 10,000 have actually been discharged which may mean something. The Chinese seem to be at least slowing the pace while they ramp up their response. Right now we can be sure that everyone globally is scrambling to develop supplies.
Remember that fever is your friend as it suppresses the virus..

Covid19 Real Beast Causing Dangerous Pandemic – Chris Martenson

Chris Martenson is futurist, economic researcher and holds a PhD in
toxicology from Duke University. So, Martenson has a unique perspective
about the coronavirus and what its effects will be to the global
economy. Don’t believe the mainstream media. Things are not getting
better, and Martenson contends, “It’s getting worse. It is a tale of two
stories inside China and outside China. Inside China, we have been
suspicious of their reporting, and they have been underreporting the
cases at least by a factor of 10 and maybe more. This is both for
infections and deaths. . . . The Chinese government would not lock down
90% of their economy just to save a couple of lives. They don’t roll
that way. So, there is something there that is very worrisome to them.
. . . Outside of China, we trust the numbers a lot more. . . . So, when
we are looking outside of China, we are seeing the cases of the
coronavirus are now increasing exponentially. It’s got a very short
doubling time and a very high rate of infectivity. It’s not the flu.
It’s not SARS. The mainstream media is trying to tell people there is
nothing to worry about, and we don’t take that view at all. . . .
Covid19, as they call it now, is a real beast.”
What should you do? Martenson explains, “This is a very dangerous
pandemic kind of a virus. We have never seen anything like it before
since the Spanish flu. This thing is almost certainly going to romp
around the world. . . . For people who are listening, you have to be
prepared for the idea . . . if they say we are going into an imposed
quarantine in a city. How do I prepare for that? You need to ask
yourself what would I need if I was stuck inside my home for 30 or 60
days? That is probably a reasonable amount of time to plan for.”
How bad economically will the Covid19 virus crisis get? Martenson
points out, “One in eight companies are so-called zombie companies.”
Meaning, they have to keep borrowing cheap money to stay in business.
Martenson says governments are hooked on huge deficits and cheap money
too, and now the China virus chaos hits an already over-leveraged
economy, and more massive money printing is needed to keep debt from
defaulting. Martenson says, “This is taking the world’s most important
manufacturing center and shutting it down all at once. That’s like
throwing a car into reverse at 60 miles per hour on the highway. . . .
Supply chain disruptions are going to be legendary. .
. . This isn’t
like one company having trouble like AIG where Hank Paulson has to ride
to the rescue with $700 billion of fresh U.S. taxpayer money. We are
talking about a system of tens of thousands of interlocking components
that are frozen, and nobody quite knows how to unravel all of that. I
think that is well beyond the capability of the Federal Reserve to throw
more QE money into the market and goose stocks a little longer. This is
the real deal. This isn’t a dress rehearsal. It is happening. People
need to be able to make sense of this, and in the absence of being able
to make sense of all of this, having some gold makes a lot of sense. I
think that’s why we are seeing it pop here.”
Martenson likes physical silver, too.
