The strategy, based on flawed modelling and
policymaking led by "scientism", is a violation of the ethics of governing.

Damning critique of the govts error strewn coronavirus strategy.

BY @nntaleb @yaneerbaryam

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
28 Feb, Health minister Helen Whately: “I can’t reiterate enough that we are well-prepared for the coronavirus.
Wash your hands, carry a tissue."

16 Mar: “We haven’t had a public health emergency like this for a generation. "

Feb 27, MP Nickie Aiken: "We've contingency plans to open a tented morgue in Hyde Park. We would run it for most of central London. I was on the Tube going to the City thinking this is a nightmare, in the worst-case scenario it’s going to be horrendous."

MUST WATCH VIDEO THREAD - Today in Parliament, Dr. Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of The Lancet, delivered a damning verdict of the government's preparedness for the pandemic given the available evidence. 1/3
Then delivered a damning verdict on the availability and delivery of the correct type of PPE for our frontline workers in the NHS. 2/3
Finally, Dr. Horton delivers yet another damning verdict on the government's initial 'herd immunity' controlled epidemic strategy that has again wasted valuable time. Full session here - parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/2b… 3/3.

These people are shameless. As our front line NHS Doctors & Nurses wear clinical waste bags for protection and nip down to B&Q for masks and goggles, we're being told that, "The country has a perfectly 'adequate' supply of PPE...but there have been some 'differential deliveries'.
"perfectly adequate supply"
dated 21st March, the day AFTER this video and specifically mentioning the lack of an 'adequate supply of PPE'...

Weasel words from Boris Johnson at PMQs?
Frontline NHS staff are complaining that they are not being tested. As Jeremy Corbyn correctly points out, the WHO advice is TEST TEST TEST as part of the proven strategy against CONVID-19.
WHO - Detect, Test, Treat, Isolate, Trace.

1/ Be Patient - but prepared 2B blown away.

WAS CHINA TESTING BASED ON SCIENCE, OR ONLY ASSUMPTIONS THEY HAD SYMPTOMS & KNEW SOMEONE ELSE CLAIMING TO HAVE IT? (23:43 )
(longer exp 17m)

Full video: #Coronavirus Fear, Germ Theory, Exosomes, and Resiliency
2/ NO ONE HAS (procedure since 1880):
- ISOLATED THE #coronaVIRUS and purified it
- introduced to animals, and,
- verify same symptoms in original host

The world LITERALLY may be "guessing" at what this is without real science to diagnose it.

3/ Our bodies wouldn't exist without viruses. An emerging theory is that what the medical community calls "viruses" has the exact same characteristics of things called something else when biologists are looking at those.

@peterjukes @BorisJohnson 1/. It was actually TEN days ago that @BorisJohnson first mentioned the ‘take in on the chin’ theory.

He told it to @Schofe & @hollywills on #ThisMorning on Thursday, 5 March.

A clip of him saying this was tweeted by @mvdct on the same day.

What happened next was remarkable...
@peterjukes @BorisJohnson @Schofe @hollywills @mvdct On Sunday evening, after a tip off from @CereinynOrd (follow her for #coronavirus), I tracked down the clip of the interview.

The clip beings with Boris saying: "One of the theories is, that perhaps you could take it on the chin, take it all in one go..."
@peterjukes @BorisJohnson @Schofe @hollywills @mvdct @CereinynOrd 3./ He goes on: "...& allow the disease, as it were, to move through the population, without taking as many draconian measures. I think we need to strike a balance."

To me there were two possible explanations for what Boris had said.

The second far more chilling than the first.

President @realDonaldTrump doesn’t care about the health and safety of the American people. He simply wishes to protect himself from any political ramifications of the #coronavirus during his re-election campaign.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

#TrumpVirus
Prez @realDonaldTrump has no idea how pandemics & epidemics work. He has no grasp of their effects on markets, economies & production

But it’s fine BC he has absolved himself from responsibility by naming @VP Pence whose own healthcare policies in Indiana led to HIV outbreak
We should transfer money from @realDonaldTrump’s racist border wall to completely fund emergency Coronavirus preparations.

R/T if you agree!

#China's Tencent may have accidentally leaked real data on #Wuhan virus deaths

Tencent briefly lists 154,023 infections and 24,589 deaths from Wuhan coronavirus

An error or the "real" numbers?
taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3871594
As many experts question the veracity of China's statistics for the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, Tencent over the weekend seems to have inadvertently released what is potentially the actual number of infections and deaths, which were astronomically higher than official figures.
On Saturday evening Feb. ), Tencent, on its webpage titled "Epidemic Situation Tracker", showed confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in China as standing at 154,023, 10 times the official figure at the time. It listed suspected cases as 79,808, four times the official figure.

As the #nCoV2019 outbreak continues, a lot of data emerging in real-time & being rapidly disseminated.

I compiled the available data (in no particular order) to have a better understanding of #nCoV2019 & will update the list as more info become available.
#IDTwitter
Clinical features of the first 41 pts suggest that #nCoV2019 has an insidious onset with fever, cough, and myalgia +/- shortness of breath. Radiological findings of bilateral ground-glass opacities. Some with mild, but >60y with severe disease #IDTwitter

thelancet.com/journals/lance…
The majority of patients requiring ICU care are those who presented with low blood pressure and dyspnea, high neutrophil count and LDH, and more likely to have AKI, secondary infection and shock. #nCoV2019 #IDTwitter
