According to Wikipedia SO2 comes from fossil fuels so let's cross our fingers and pray they're just bringing a power plant online or something.

Sure, you know because of China. And the internet says so. I always shocked when someone, especially on this forum, brings up stuff like that.

Re: Life and Death in a Wuhan Coronavirus ICU
#313"The most regretful thing to me was a pregnant woman from Huanggang. She was in very serious condition. Nearly 200,000 yuan (S$39,505) was spent after more than a week in the ICU. She was from the countryside, and the money for hospitalisation was borrowed from her relatives and friends. Her condition was improving after the use of Ecmo, and she was likely to survive. But her husband decided to give up. He cried for…
The medical system there is far more similar to the US system than the European system. It fails some of its citizens the same way the US system fails some of its citizens. Yet it is also similar to the US system is that it is fostering more medical innovation than socialized systems as well. Basically it is similar in both good and bad ways. China has made more gains in medical R&D than pretty much any other country…
I'm curious what the exact costs (financial and otherwise) are for these gains in medical R&D.
Canada's system likewise has pros and cons to it, and I believe once democracy and freedom is stabilized via adequate distribution of resources sharing the technological gains of this century, then society must first focus on analyzing, conversing about, our health systems in depth. The conversation for too long has been primarily held, lead, by industrial complexes and specialized professionals in funnels that are more indoctrinated, non-interdisciplinary, than is healthy.

I'm reminded of the people who went into Chernobyl to begin containment. Hard to call them anything but heroes.
> people who went into Chernobyl to begin containment I'm not an authority on the subject, but I was under the impression that those were soldiers and conscripts and they were ordered to go.
Suggesting that soldiers cannot be heroes while on duty?
It's rather common to see our cultures honor fallen soldiers and regard them as the archetypal case of heroes. Being on duty has never been considered a limitation.

Transmission seems clearly far less bad than initially thought. If it were exponential we should be at millions infected right now.
China only has capacity to test a few thousand patients per day...
From "Coronavirus outbreak 'just beginning' outside China, says expert" (Feb 12 2020)

The Chinese government’s senior medical adviser has said the disease is hitting a peak in China and may be over by April. He said he was basing the forecast on mathematical modelling, recent events and government action.
Dale Fisher, chair of the Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network that is coordinated by the World Health Organization, said that predicted “time course” may well be true if the virus is allowed to run free in Wuhan.
The flu-like virus has killed more than 1,100 people and infected nearly 45,000, predominantly in China and mostly in Wuhan.
Singapore has reported 50 coronavirus cases, one of the highest tallies outside China, including mounting evidence of local transmission.

Asked why there were so many cases in Singapore, he said there were comparatively more tests being conducted on the island.
“We have a very low index of suspicion for testing people so...we do have higher ascertainment,” he said, but added that there was a lot about transmission of the virus yet to be understood.
