OP, when you begin part 3, could you please include links to parts 1 & 2 in the opening post?

To anyone with the skills and interest, is there any way that a script could be written in order to archive all of the pages of each thread at Archive Today so that all of the information herein will not be lost due to some future problem with this website such as what happened with the original Fukushima megathread?

It could be done manually, but would take quite some time. If there is a quick and easy script which could perform that task then you would be performing a great service for future generations who might wish to look back at was was being said about this event as it was occurring.

 

This article in The Lancet answers some questions about how the virus progressed in the one patient in Nepal:

On Jan 13, 2020, a 32-year-old man, a Nepalese student at Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China, with no history of comorbidities, returned to Nepal. He presented at the outpatient department of Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital, Kathmandu, with a cough. He had become ill on Jan 3, 6 days before he flew to Nepal. He indicated no exposure to the so-called wet market in Wuhan.
...
His fever was no longer present on Jan 16, and his clinical condition improved. He was discharged the next day and instructed to self-quarantine at home. Laboratory tests showed no abnormalities. Real-time RT-PCR assays for influenza A and B viruses, and NS1 antigen rapid tests for dengue viruses, scrub typhus, and Brucella spp were negative. Follow-up assessments on Jan 29 and Jan 31 gave an RT-PCR negative throat swab for 2019-nCoV. Informed consent was obtained from the patient to be included in this Correspondence.

Writing a script that archives each one of the pages is very simple--Python (using beautifulsoup) or Ruby (using mechanize) makes this task a walk in the park; they are libraries used to scrape data from webpages.

If I am in the mood at some point in the near future I will bite and make a script to archive all of these pages.

I wrote an API for this site in Ruby once, even though I was told I wasn't allowed. That was pretty fun and I learned a lot.

At the top of this page, I posted an excerpt from a Lancet article which details a Nepalese patient who first experienced symptoms on Jan 3 and was tested as negate on Jan 29 and 31.

Granted this is from a single specimen so results could very well vary between different patients, but from that one case, it would seem as though once a patient recovers, there is no longer any traceable amount in the person's system.

Just to add.. A London surgery is closed (Islington)

www.mylondon.news...

Of course it's completely normal to close a surgery just because someone rocked up with something no worse than flu...

I'm in the states and was just curious if a surgery is a doctor's office, or an outpatient surgical center. I'm thinking a doctor's office.

looking down and away, flushed face, yep either hes lying or really nervous about it, particularly telling is the " we don't yet know how big the iceburg is " which given they've been there is worrying, i mean they should know facts by now not still be guessing

What bothers me more is that he literally says that
China is the ONLY country reporting on both suspected and confirmed cases.

I asked the question here a couple times: why do suspected cases remain at 0 on the maps, in countries that we know do active testing? Why test if there isn't suspicion? No one ever answered it, now WHO did... they don't have a clue about suspected cases!

I dont think its the whole story, but since so many were given a certificate of health ( which they carried and showed to get on planes going around the world from Wuhan and Hubei and Guangdong ***where it was isolated in 2018**) .. hey have now changed protocol. RNA test and CT scans becasue the previous tests were testing neg for the virus but the folks actually were infected.

The CDC is claiming that there was confusion in identifying the CovID-19 test tubes with the Miramir/San Diego patient that was released back into the group of isolated patients. Here is what a CDC 2019-nCov test kit looks like.

Notice the folded paperwork in the package. IT TAKES 2 PEOPLE TO SIGN-OFF ON THESE FORMS!
This is bull$h!t. If these forms are the same ones that I fill out, there was no way to make an error!

If you’ve an iPhone open the stocks app, first day today every think has all gone red and taken a dive, up till that it was up and down but in the green ( think flucuations were due to various governments pumping cash in to keep things going) but continuing like this is going to end in big recession

Humans make errors all the time... it's definitely not unheard of for humans making big #ups.

LOL Yeah, ours are kept by the state.. and thats how we had to send in the tests. It was also a limited amount of them and the forms werent rocket science. Ive been careful about calling BS.. but I have to call BS on a lot of things in the MSM lately.

Well, by that logic, why not compare it to human papilloma virus too … I mean, its a virus?

*crickets*

a reply to: KindraLaBelle

I think that part of this is due to the fact that we are smack dab in the middle of cold/flu season here in the U.S. and that since the early symptoms of Covid19 mimic both cold and flu symptoms that too many would consider themselves potentially infected even though they don't meet other requirements; exposure to laboratory confirmed case, close contact with someone recently arrived from affected provinces, etc.

Kind of like how if one starts reading up on symptoms at WebMD, one convinces oneself one has a case of everything and is going to die at any moment.

IMO it depends on IF there are blooms in population enters in other countries in the next few weeks if the wonderful world economy goes .. batty.

I do hope people can remain mindful when contributing to this thread. In the current information environment, access to quality information can be challenging. The team at ATS is doing a great job keeping these channels of information open. This is a fast moving thread and tough to keep up with. Being right is more important than being first.

or the common cold with no prevention,

a reply to: jadedANDcynical

while all that is true, it doesn't explain why countries are not reporting their numbers. Also doesn't explain what makes Dr Ryan so nervous.....

Why has this tread turned into a "my virus is bigger than your virus" contest?

I thought it was supposed to be about updates, but for the last 50 plus pages, all I have seen is bickering.

I am about to check out of here, and listen to the MSM for updates.

My gosh... What did I just say?

Doctors surgery I think = doctors office, you go there to see a doctor

China updates won't start coming out of the news cycle for another 2-3 hours.
