Coronavirus

Big Battery · January 24

2 confirmed cases in the US now.
transmitted thru the eyes (I imagine all mucus membrane areas)
20,000,000 isolated in China

New Years celebration cancelled in china( that’s a big deal to them)

Serious event?

I'll be avoiding large public gatherings for the foreseeable future. But that really has nothing to do with this outbreak that's more of a me thing.

Nope. just another non-story like the last few.

A bat flew over my house last night. Good thing I got a flu shot.

mplspug · January 24

It's no big deal until you or someone you know is affected. Kind of like lightning.

Almost 10 years ago when there was the bad flu going around I was an acquaintance to a 30 year old guy who got it. Put him down for a couple months and at times was touch and go. He even was in a coma for a while

But if you are going to worry about that I don't know how the same person could step into a vehicle.

Well I know one thing, I will not be drinking any Coronas in the near future till they figure this thing out.

They probably didn't squeeze a lime in it and got scurvy.

The last “breaking news” by media. No big wars around, no storms or hurricanes, ordinary murders and street crime have bothered the people. They need a new “product” to sell themselves as useful, before people understand...

Changing quick.... maybe it is just another flu but China seems to know more than they are telling us as they are taking it very seriously. I think the reported numbers from China are way lower than reality.

China announces another 15 deaths in Hubei province
Total number of confirmed cases now 1,000+, 41 dead.
China restricts travel for 46+ million people across 16 cities as the death toll surges.
AFP reports that the virus has jumped to Europe, with three confirmed cases now in France.
Two deaths have been reported outside Wuhan.
Some residents displaying symptoms are being turned away from hospitals.
Hospitals in Wuhan make urgent pleas for help and supplies.
Beijing orders PLA medics to assist in Wuhan treating patients
UK and US governments tell citizens to avoid outbreak zones.
63 suspected cases in US, Senator says 3 confirmed, with two reported so far in Illinois and California, and two suspected in Minnesota

If you catch this and die, I will post this in your memory.

How do you stop or prevent global outbreaks? These are unstoppable.

I got the Crabs when I was 18..seems to have had no lasting effects...except that melted butter or Cocktail sauce scares me real bad...

MelbourneMark · January 25

china freaking out. china also has some experimental laboratories in the area where the outbreak occurred. hopefully just a coincidence, but the lockdowns might allude to their govt thinking its more than naturally occurring

either way, we will likely see some kind of mass outbreak in the future

China is building a 1000 bed hospital to treat patients. In TWO weeks they want it done
Concrete will barely be cured by then

That's not nice at all. Especially in your country. Do you feel better now?

Not really polite but pretty customary here

Hospital = mass grave in commie-speak.

They shut down the U.S. embassy?

stc1993 · January 25

W.H.O. hasn't declared a health crisis yet. I don't know what they are waiting on.

tom waxelbaum · January 25

I have this uneasy feeling that China is hiding the actual number of fatalities from their coronovirus. Also ... can we eliminate the possibility that this was a virus-weapon test gone bad?

ferris1248 · January 25

It is not clear how lethal the new coronavirus is, or even whether it is as dangerous as the ordinary flu, which kills tens of thousands of people every year in the U.S. alone.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it is expecting more Americans to be diagnosed with the virus.

Hospitals are built from existing buildings, not new buildings. You can build a hospital in an airport, shopping mall, military base, etc..

China sure thinks it is. I have a bad feeling by their reaction that this is way worse than they are revealing. I think they know the origins of this virus and arent being honest.

mplspug · January 25

Chinese people also walk around in public with masks on because they are germaphobes, so there is that.
