Forget recovered I'm talking about new cases. We need to worry about new cases because we dont want people to contract the disease in the first place.
Dude look at the stats. What I am pointing out to everyone is that the number of cases regardless of cruise ships are rising exponentially. I noticed today the glaringly obvious fact that cases are on the rise in a big way despite the seemingly small numbers they are right now....the cases ARE IN FACT RISING in developed countries.

I've got to admit, this is pretty disturbing. I've seen the welded door vids etc., but here you can see people on the second floor looking out. Every home is barricaded shut from the outside.
Twitter vid: more barricading people in.

I've spent the last several hours studying a report that is here; www.preprints.org...
Download the PDF at the bottom of the page.
Frankly, what I read makes me sick.
The genome of the 2019-CoV or CoVID 19, or what have you, using retrotransposons, and is integrating into our chrosome4.
Does it mean it is mutating us?
Does it mean that it is using Rolling circle replication?
Please, someone else read it.
I'm sick to my stomach, really upset.
I'll come back later.

You may well be right, it may be “on the rise in a big way” and it could be “ rising exponentially” ( heard someone else say that a lot too on here) that’s your opinion and it remains that until you can proffer any evidence to the contrary

Reuters: MACAU SAYS CASINOS CAN RESUME OPERATIONS FROM THURSDAY AFTER TWO WEEK SUSPENSION AIMED AT CONTROLLING VIRUS
OKAYAMA, Japan (Reuters) - About 10,000 Japanese men clad only in loincloths braved freezing temperatures at the weekend to pack into a temple and scramble in the dark for lucky wooden talismans tossed into the crowd, in a ritual that dates back five centuries.

I posted the long thread below a while back on thread 2. I'm in the UK military. Just so as you know, the military as contingency plans for pretty much everything, even if they are remote possibilities and not too detailed. At the moment, where I'm stationed at my location, nothing. No instructions, orders or preparedness for anything. But that's not to say the chain of command has been given orders, it might be that we haven't been warned off yet, but certainly at my level - nothing.
As I mentioned before. It would make military sense to give priority to emergency/first responders (police, medical, fire etc), military, food/water production, medical supplies, power and distribution. Now personnel such as military and police would get priority because they will maintain order and keep everything secure in order to function. Difficult decisions would be made and depending on the situation various powers enacted. But make no mistake, the military and police are expendable and expected to make sacrifice for the greater good if needs be. Medical/health professionals and their facilities would be protected very well, we need those brave people to win. Power, if the power goes off its for one of two reasons, 1. It is being prioritised (for any amount of reasons) 2. We are losing and we are #ed. Food/water production speaks for itself, agriculture, food manufacture, livestock and farming. Any manufacture connected to medicine/med chain. Then the means of and main supply routes for distribution as well as the assets to do it. That would be what is needed as a miminum. Everyone else depends on the system, for everything, to varying degrees as the situation gets better or worse.
I'd imagine rural areas where food is produced would be protected, power facilities, water plants, distribution routes protected. You could only do this with planning, which would involve curfews, containment, cordoning off of areas or areas at certain times. This would be a huge undertaking. Essentially placing the nation on a war footing, closing the country down ecomonically. All that matters is food, water, medicine, power and order whilst the fight for a cure rages on, it burns out or the power goes off and we descend into a Hollywood movie scenario. By which time I'd have buggered off along time ago with enough rounds and rations to get to somewhere far far away in the highlands. By which time it's bollocks to orders I'm my own chain of command.
"I firmly believe here in the UK, if it happens. There will be mass deployment, curfew and containment. This would happen slowly, quietly and incrementally as the situations dictates. Remember we have the NHS 111 service, which would be used to self isolate on their advice whilst any type of service arrived to access you. Then you might be allowed to remain at home or be taken away somewhere. Now there's a thought.
