Corona Virus Updates

On the positive side.

Most of the cases abroad are from people who came from Wuhan or direct connects. There have only been like 1 or 2 cases wherein the disease transferred from 1 person to another abroad.

This is significant since people are pegging the disease to have started in early November or so.

It seems the containment is working to a degree.

Maybe the abnormally extreme measures China has taken at the speed in which they did have really helped contain it.

Time will tell.. but with social media and the speed at which info spreads these days.. anyone who has been to or is from Wuhan knows whats going on and Im sure is taking precautions to seclude themselves from others.

Then again Im also interested to see what happens as these kits get distributed and more people are tested. Maybe theres ALOT more cases here in the US than we have discovered to this point.

I'm not confident cases are being reported as per what the numbers should say, but I'm guessing what the headlines will say.

@Ketsuko: you want to burn me?

No.

I was illustrating the medieval thinking of going after the idea that Christians want the world to end as the reason this is happening.

People thought the same about Jews and old women with cats during the Black Death, and a lot of good it did them.

CDC press conference on Fox.

They are expanding airport screenings to 20 airports. They are also tracking contacts with infected people..

Also saying there is no proven therapy for this virus.

Wow...Seems like they're giving this serious attention now.

Isn't the screening useless now that we know it can be transmitted when carriers do not yet show symptoms of it?

Took them too long, not even Russia is putting healthcare as their top priority and that will probably cost them in some weeks from now.

I agree, but they have to look like they're doing something to quell public fear.

Suspected case in Birmingham

just finished reading abiout tha one. The guy said he was feeling ill so went to his doctor who told him to go home and stay inside.

www.dailymail.co.uk...

Drew Bennett, 39, is feared to have contracted the potentially deadly virus during a recent holiday to the Chinese city at the heart of the outbreak and is currently in isolation at a Birmingham hospital. The sales worker returned from Wuhan on New Years' Eve and quickly developed flu-like symptoms before becoming too unwell to leave his bed. But he revealed today that when he visited his GP on Monday he was told to go home - despite fears the highly contagious virus is poised to claim its first British victim. The advice given by his doctor contradicted health bosses' warning that suspected coronavirus patients must be 'locked in a room alone straight away'. Guidance issued to GPs by Public Health England last week ordered them to put patients in a separate room, close the door and 'don't let them touch anything or anyone'. At 4.20pm on Monday an ambulance carrying medics in hazmat suits was sent to Mr Bennett's address in Harborne, Birmingham. He was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital to have blood tests, where he remains in isolation awaiting results.

The guy who keeps calling this a nothingburger, could he please contact the Chinese government and tell them not to make such a fuss over nothing? Instead of repeating himself here until he'll eat his own words.
Surely if he knows so much more than a communist government, scientists and the people who live there, he should be hailed as a very special person with outstanding knowledge, and everyone can just take off their masks and get back to work.

After all, it's 'just' all hyped up. So why the silly quarantine and all the fuss? Eh? It's just idiots and [what were we called back at the start of this thread] tortoises [assume the person meant sheeple]. that fall for this. It's no worse than the flu or a cold.

Toysforadults has said, it's a nothingburger. Why is nobody listening to him, he knows everything about this there is to know, FFS? /s
