COVID-19 (coronavirus disease)/SARS-CoV-2 virus

Don't think that's being tracked in China. From that one youtube video it sounds like most Chinese suspected cases should just be considered confirmed cases.

 

First death outside of China and only 44 years old
Important development. With the best treatment and all the country's experts focusing their attention on him.
May he rest in peace.

Outside of China it is very low. i.e the UK has checked more than 250 suspected cases and discovered only 2, so far.
In china it is like 99%+
These suspected cases numbers are about China.

I say even the 75.000 estimation is too low at this point.
You think these Wuhan hospitals who only admit people if they are dying, have discovered 10% of infections?

 

This is a new virus, so it's too early to really know.

Sucks to be a lab monkey for the next year.

 

Concurrent H5n1 outbreak in hunan, but limited to chickens for now. Low chance of transmission to humans but has a 60(!)% mortality rate for humans.

I watched that Contagion movie and it is uncanny how close to reality the script is .

Now I am starting to believe that bats should just be shot on sight.

 

Thai doctors have developed an experimental treatment with good results on severe cases so far.

 

this is eerily similar to Chernobyl with the communist regime hiding the danger from the world

 

wtf does this mean, "This virus may still be learning what it can do," Webster said. "We don't know its full potential yet."

It becomes self aware 2:14am, eastern time, February 2nd. In a panic, they try to pull to pull the plug.

 

From page 2:

So the virus has been playing with a robot all week. This does not bode well for humanity.

 

It means that the virus as it moves from person to person it can still mutate to be more adapted to humans, and pick up other new abilities.
It is a newborn after all...
But it doesn't mean it will for sure become more lethal either maybe it will become like SARS which with some measures taken to limit infection, it dissappeared.

 

The casualty rate outside of Wuhan, ain't that high.

 

In Wuhan because of various reasons the number of infections is already extremely high so with the same mortality rate it's logical you see such difference.

2% mortality out of 100.000 + people in Wuhan and outside of Wuhan let's say 10.000 (imaginary number) means of course different number of deaths.

The worrying to scientists are the outlier cases
aka people who were too young- in their 30s or early 40s without any underlying issues who have died- may they rest in peace.
Why does this happen?
Could the virus be developing and adapting? Or do these people have something in common that makes them more vulnerable?

The case in Philippines where there is no justification of i.e overworked hospitals and doctors that couldn't give the 44 year old patient good care is an example of this. The patient was doing very well and suddendly he died.
There needs to be a lot of research done.

 

The other worry I would see is that latest infection from the Philippines where the person was only in Wuhan for a 2 hour layover and caught the virus. I believe he is stable.

 

Well, some of the sick aren't out of the woods either. We're still so early in the data game.

 

This is like the movie “The Crazies”

 

It's freaky.
