UK Importing Infected Coronavirus Nationals, China New 'Hospitals' in Wuhan are Quarantine Camps

3rd Feb 2020

What was blatantly obvious from the outset has now happened, namely that if you fly in people from Wuhan, the epicentre of the Coronavirus outbreak then it is inevitable that a number of those people WILL be infected and thus create a risk of spreading the virus to what had been an outbreak free nation. And so it has now transpired with the news on Day 57 of the Pandemic that the UK now has at 3 declared cases courtesy of the Baldrick's in charge of handing the health emergency with their cunning plan to combat the virus by flying in infected people. Though likely dozens are infected across the nation (Universities) courtesy of 120,000 Chinese students, a number of whom are infected with the virus.

Meanwhile back in Wuhan the two 'hospitals' built at record speed are nearing completion as per CCP propaganda to treat those infected with the Coronavirus.

However, if one actually looks at what is being built, what we see resembles a quarantine prison camp with self contained cells for the ill to be locked into, at 2 patients per cell, and likely the only care they will receive is food and water via hatches so it will be left be up to the patients immune systems to fight the virus rather than healthcare.

Of course this makes sense as the primary objective of the Chinese government is to bring the pandemic to a halt by all means which can only be done if those who are infected are entirely isolated from the rest of the population hence the Quarantine Camp comprising 1000 cells, that could isolate at least 2000 patients.

Thus the purpose of this facility is to concentrate those ill with the virus. However the consequences will be that those who end up in such facilities are likely to have a less than 50% chance of surviving the virus. Given that they are likely already gravely ill, and in need of dedicated healthcare that they will not receive due to the number of patients and the risk of infecting medical staff.

Whilst sitting here several thousands of miles away from the epicentre of the outbreak we may criticise China for such Draconian measures but China is literally fighting for its survival in attempts to prevent the outbreak from running into the tens millions so prepared to sacrifice the ill that they don't have the capacity to treat so as to prevent a far larger number of deaths if they succeed in brining the pandemic to a halt.

Coronavirus Pandemic Trend Forecast

My analysis of 28th Jan concluded forecast expectations for the virus to spread exponentially first across China and then across the world to target 1 million infections by the end of February resulting in 35,000 deaths.

Latest youtube video update as of Pandemic Day 55.

The above graph illustrates the trend trajectory forecast infections to only really start taking off globally mid February when the number of officially declared infections are expected to exceed 100,000 and deaths 2,500. So we are still some 10days away from when the Coronavirus pandemic really starts to take off globally and starts to overwhelm healthcare systems that is the real reason why the number of deaths will greatly start to expand.

Coronavirus Infection Spread Day 56 - 2nd Feb 2020 Update

The forecast for the number of infections and deaths by 2nd of Feb 2020 vs actual:

	Infections	Deaths
Forecast for 1st Feb	14294	471
Actual - 1st Feb	17200	362
% Diiff	120%	77%

Were this trend to continue into the end of February 2020 then the number of infected would increase to 1.2 million, whilst the number of deaths would fall to 25,323. So the latest data implies a wider spread but a lower mortality rate.

However, these are still the very early days of the spread of the Coronavirus, especially given that there are large susceptible populations groups with poor healthcare infrastructure such as India that announced it's first infection Friday where outbreaks could soon overwhelm heathcare systems. Also that a vaccine is still a good 4 months away so far too late to have any impact on this pandemic.

Meanwhile this is what China and Asia's infections map currently looks like, which in my opinion grossly under estimates the number of infected, hence why the numbers are increasing exponentially. If I had to guess a number, I would say that MORE than 200,000 are infected as of today.

My latest Silver price trend analysis that concludes in a detailed trend forecast for 2020 has first been made available to Patrons who support my work (Silver Price Trend Forecast 2020).
