RE: 666 - The Beast Unleashed as Pestilence
That R0 value is scary (4.7-6.6). I remember when - John Campbell, early on, said he was worried, when the R0 value was like 2 - then I remember when Eric-Ding had a twitter thread early on, I covered it at the time, where he was shocked by an estimated r0 of 4, he was saying that was shocking - but r0 of 6 or even the possibility of 5, is like in the territory of they likely will not even have the resources soon to track it. John Campbell is great, but like you said, he leans on China numbers even though he admits they are likely flase as a way to read into the problem - China's numbers, just follow an predictive chart, they don't even count them any-more at least in my opinion, they just what day it is, then check what the chart estimates would be - Its pretty sad really. Great post! 666 alright!
I would not be surprised if numbers of infected were in the tens of millions, and those felled a million or more. The SO2 clouds over Wuhan have been incessant, and the massive number of incinerators brought in clearly weren't just sitting idle. They needed them because bodies were stacking up in hospitals early in January, as Fang Bin showed in the video for which he was arrested/forcibly taken to a quarantine location not his home.
I know that if we as a society immediately undertake the necessary actions we can end this contagion. However the media are censoring the alarming facts, and I don't think it's from incompetence. I think it's deliberate, to create the proximate cause for the imposition of a global totalitarian state that makes Vlad the Impaler look like a free love hippy.
Thanks!
