RE: Estimating Deaths From Corona Virus.
This is a complete bullshit measurement.
They were on vacation and stopped production for a few weeks. They are turning production back on to catch up for halted production.
Even if that sulphur is only from bodies, maybe they were just stacking up while society was shut down?
Even then, ~833,333 people die every month throughout China for all sorts of reasons.
Adding 75000 a month (numbers 100x the reported covid-19 fatalities), would only increase it by 8%.
Yeah I thought it was pretty flimsy.
The air is terrible in Seoul right now, I can't see the mountain 7km from my office today.
I just checked my app and Beijing, Shenzen and Shanghai look cleaner than normal, probably less than normal activity. Xian is really bad today (it has a lot of industrial facilities that cannot shut down due to massive costs and global demand), but Wuhan/Heibei area is really really clean which means they are still up to nothing much.
In anycase the amount of sulfur 1 medium coal plant produces is going to dwarf the amount of sulfur produced by burning thousands of bodies.
China is pretty good at covering stuff up, but I've got a lot of friends and coworkers who live in China and they would probably mention piles of bodies. Wuhan isn't some back water place. It has infrastructure that puts most of the west to shame.
Besides hundreds of people are still being evacuated and none of them are mentioning anything about a huge cover up when theybare safe and sound far away from there.
That's a new one, checking air visibly to see what's up.
I think you can get a general idea of whether or not a city is functioning by the amount of pollution when considering the day of the week, temperature and baseline pollution.
Trying to calculate exactly how many bodies are being burned is difficult. Having a charcoal bbq releases a lot of stuff into the air, too.
Tell me about it. My kid who lives next door got a smoker for Christmas a couple two, maybe three years ago. Sometimes I could send out smoke signal from inside my house. lol
