When US Hospitals and Military PUBLICLY Brace for a Coronavirus Pandemic, You Should Pay Attention <\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you trust the numbers coming out of China (I don\u2019t<\/a>) it appears that they\u2019re getting their coronavirus epidemic contained. Yesterday they reported the lowest number of new cases in ages, with 349 newly confirmed patients, in a dramatic drop of more than 1300 fewer cases than Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xinhuanet, the official Chinese government propaganda<\/del> news outlet reported:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NHC spokesperson Mi Feng made the remarks at a press conference in Beijing Wednesday, citing the epidemic data in the province over the past week.<\/p>

The daily count of newly cured and discharged cases in Hubei, excluding the capital city of Wuhan, has exceeded the number of newly confirmed cases for four consecutive days as of Wednesday, said Mi.<\/p>

He also noted that the number of newly confirmed cases has decreased significantly since Feb. 13 in areas besides Wuhan, and the increase in the cumulative number of confirmed cases has remained flat. (source<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there\u2019s plenty of evidence<\/a> that China has toyed with the numbers all along, so it\u2019s difficult not to take this \u201cgood news\u201d with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particularly when hundreds of potentially infected people disembarked the Diamond Princess yesterday to make their ways home to 50 different countries<\/a> via a wide variety of public transportation options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And particularly when our own government is busily (and visibly) preparing for the potential of a massive outbreak in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We didn\u2019t even see these kinds of preparations when we were being\u00a0warned by the CDC to get ready for an Ebola outbreak<\/a>\u00a0back in 2014. Mercifully, we dodged the bullet on that one but it certainly wasn\u2019t because of well-thought-out protocols and procedures. The entire thing was handled so poorly that it could have resulted in disaster. Perhaps we learned from that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
