Alibaba HQ In Hanzhou And Other Cities In Zhejiang Into Lockdown An Hour Ago As Coronavirus Is Rapidly Spreading
Source: Thailand Medical News Feb 05, 2020

The coronavirus is fast spreading all over China with nothing that resembles a country whose government has got things under control. Certain International organizations are also making fake statements that things are under control in China when in reality just ask any doctor or health professional or any person on the street in any province.

Literally all 33,427 hospitals in China are overflowing with patients and medical supplies are running out everywhere, patients are being turned away and there is literally not much test kits for the coronavirus.

New epicenters have sprung up in cities like Zhejiang, Chongqing, Henan and Hunan. Zheqiang and Chongqing are now the worst hit with many cities in those provinces looking exactly like Wuhan now. Thousands are sick with the coronavirus and are in critical condition.

As of midnight on Tuesday, the government hurriedly closed and placed under lockdown even the Zhejiang cities of Taizhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou and also Hanzhou, home to tech giant Alibaba.

More than 24 million people will be affected just in Zhejiang alone, adding to tens of millions of people already affected by shutdowns in other cities.

Under new rules imposed in Zhejiang, only allow one person per household to go outside every two days to buy necessities, city officials said.

All transportation is banned and all offices, factories, schools, shops are all to be closed.

In addition, residential communities will only be allowed to use one entrance and residents must present ID each time they come or go, Zhejiang’s government said on its official WeChat account.

Landlords were also forbidden from renting property to people from "severely affected areas such as Hubei" if they have travelled to their hometowns recently, it added.

In the Hangzhou districts, additional measures included mandatory mask-wearing and compulsory ID and temperature checks.

Zhejiang, the eastern province in which these cities sit has confirmed 829 cases, the highest number outside central Hubei province, the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak and where more than 50 million people are under lockdown.

However many doctors are saying that the numbers infected with the coronavirus in Zhejiang could be thousands as all the hospitals are overflowing with patients just like Wuhan and other cities in the initial stages of the epidemic. The problem is that there are not enough test kits and assay reagents. Doctors have also reported hundreds of deaths in Zhejiang over the last 4 days but again these figures are not added to the daily tolls announced by the Health officials as the dead were never tested and it is not known if they had the coronavirus as China’s stringent death and disease reporting protocol dictates that no death or infected numbers can be added on unless the infected parties or the dead had been previously tested.!

Chongqing will most likely be the next province to be placed under lockdown while there are some speculations that the government is planning a total nationwide shutdown with the exception of critical services and also certain factories and farms sometime by the 13th should things not get better.

It seems that the situation in China is seemingly getting worse day by day despite whatever claims can be made.

VME (volvo M(?) E(uclid) makes big equipment. Makes CAT stuff look small, home tractor sized by comparison. I was asking if you were involved with VME...)
Nope, My history was with Electronics. We were heavily involved in importing from China and Japan. My job was sourcing and pricing as well as dealing with overall scheduling.

I also have a bit of experience dealing with the bonded factories, also known as Maquiladoras.

To everyone, I do not know how to post replies with quotes, so I am not able to respond. Can someone tell me where to I can go for instructions on this? Kind of late in the day for learning this, I know.

I don't know why . . . but, this is funny to me. In the 'blue collar world' Harbor Freight is synonymous with 'junk'. And here we are ready to go there for potentially life saving items.

At the bottom of someone's post you see a line that says Report (on the left) and Like Quote Reply (on the right). Hit the Reply button, that will quote that post in your reply box. To do multi-quoting, a lot of us are still having problems with that. It seems to work only on one page at a time, you go to the next page you lose it. I can't speak to how anyone else is managing it, I just hit right click over reply and open in a new tab, then cut and paste all the replies I want to comment on into one reply box. Works for me. But to just reply to one post, hit the reply button.

Just hit "reply" in the post you want to respond to. It will automatically include the post in a quote box when you post your reply.

I haven't figured out the multiquote function yet, but if you click on the three dots next to the smiley face icon on the toolbar in the reply box, it gives you a "quote" option... you can paste whatever you want in between the quotation marks.

Nothing would surprise me at this point.

I think he knew way too much. Too much about this strain of the virus, knew the players/spies, knew too much about the Chinese involvement. If someone took him out, it was them, again just my woo opinion. He may have died of natural causes, timing is what's so suspicious. Throw in the AIDS angle with the discussion/then coverup of HIV component in this virus and that adds some fodder to the woo explanation.

Deaths suffered at th' hands o' th' Chinese, durin' the Korean War, now bein' paid back by their own hands... Sorry, but it is what it is... Fer th' Chinese, it's "payback's a bitch..." Karma suffered by one's enemies, is their bitch...

They weren’t exactly innocent in Vietnam either. I know my dad lived in fear and uncertainty during his combat tour in Korea.

I figured there were 2 options- 1. He knew too much and was taken out, 2. He knew too much and it killed him when he heard about the outbreak. Either way, dead is dead and it's a big loss. Hope he taught his students well.

China's reported numbers appear to be formula-generated:
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV6IEdPc7AY

Start at 02:57.

Members on ARFCOM have been playing with the numbers as well. Of note: no noise, no random data, just a perfectly smooth curve... In the real world, data doesn't do that. You ALWAYS get some deviation from the trendline.

So yes, China's numbers are bogus.

If I were a Chinese propagandist tasked with maintaining a narrative the data suggests was adopted 8 days ago, I'd post these #coronavirus results for Mainland China tonight: Cases: 24,029 (+3,589) Deaths: 500 (+75)

Yes, great. Except... where are the HIV drugs made? Alldaychemist is already out of stock... wanna bet they're made in China?

Also... what if the "help" the US is offering means sending PPE and meds to China? Does that make any sense, at least until we know *for sure* that we won't see similar disastrous illness here? I thunk it's past time to put America first... first rule for first responders- insure your own protection and safety before trying to save others!

Agreed. But at least it is something. There has been some conjecture as to whether or not HIV drugs would work and someone actually tried it and it did. This thing is moving so fast. Time is a huge mitigating factor in being able to do anything practical in stopping it.

Someone CLAIMED the drugs worked. Cold Fusion has been claimed as well. We need independent confirmation.

Yes. It was just one case, "claimed". Agreed. Independent verification needed. Now I am sorry I didn't learn to use the board software sooner. If I post replies, they are going to be simple. I am way behind the curve on this.

RE: the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan. Sure, it's an awesome quarantine vehicle, but can you imagine the nightmare that sterilizing that thing is going to be at some point in the future? And, every other hotel/casino/apartment/bus/theater/etc that has had an infected person in it? Yeek.

Any bets on when cruise lines shut down?

I believe the case in Seattle was also reported to "have improved drastically within hours" after being given a cocktail of Tamiflu (IIRC) and an antiretroviral drug. Still nowhere near proof, but encouraging, if true.

Hmm, perhaps I should invest in some companies that produce disinfectant! :-)
