Among the grim news / facts of the day: - a 45-day old baby got the virus in Korea. https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20200301001500320 - in France, already 1 big ER in Paris (Hôpital Tenon) closed because staff was infected. In another ER, they told patients who presented symptoms to go home...

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3052966/chinese-laboratory-first-shared-coronavirus-genome-world-ordered this is not going to stop the rumours

yes in in 2months time it will be clearer if this is a Spanish-flu-like pandemic or if it will do limited damage. I think it doesn't depend only on the virus but also in the way we react to it, like the numbers suggest (serious action in China == exponential growth stopped - no action elsewhere...

you are asking the wrong questions the right question is: when will all we be locked down just like in Wuhan ?

I find it strange that there are less victims in HK than Korea or Iran, but hey why not... good for HK.

@zeio and others in HK or China what is the situation in your country ? is there some kind of quarantine or restrictions ? do you believe the numbers from your governments ? Korea announced more new cases than China today... suggesting China is being contained but not Korea. is it possible ?

panic kills but lack of action and indecision kills even more. it could even make the whole of us an extinct race

One of the best French virologist announced today that an existing molecule (chloroquine) has been tested by Chinese doctors and seems to be very effective. Don't know if its true or not, if there's enough medicine available for everyone before the stuff spreads everywhere... But that it is to...

Stupid article. if globally several 100,000s die of coronavirus its a non-major event. People talk so much about it because there are fears of a scenario where this kills 100,000,000s .

cancel your trip and take care of your health

My local doctor prescribes us Vitamin C for regular flu. Its cheap and we have a lot of it at home. Also, my wife bought some kind of medical equipment with a belt and cushions you attach around your belly or your back. It heats up your internal organs and also sends up some (ultrasound ?)...

I can confirm that the government is completely clueless. Abe still spends most of his time thinking about his olympics instead of the health of his citizens

from NHK news site 千葉県は、これまで県内で新型コロナウイルスへの感染が確認された人のうち３人が、千葉県市川市にある同じスポーツクラブを利用していたと発表しました。クラブの利用者や従業員、およそ600人を対象に健康観察などを行うことにしています。 3 people got the virus in Chiba prefecture. They got it because they all went to the same (private) sports club (around 600 members). I've stopped playing TT for...

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/02/covid-vaccine/607000/ The Harvard epidemiology professor Marc Lipsitch is exacting in his diction, even for an epidemiologist. Twice in our conversation he started to say something, then paused and said, “Actually, let me start again.” So it’s...

Well, again, we don't have enough data. https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 but for example Iran its 61 cases and 12 dead, so much more than 2.5% You have mentioned some biases that i had, but there are some biases as well in your...

i didn't suggest Covid-19 was the ultimate bio-weapon. I believe it was an intermediate product between a natural virus and a final version of a bio-weapon. designing an atom bomb is rather simple. everybody knows the chain reaction involved. A bio-virus is experimental at this stage and...

the virus mortality is much worse than the headline 3% that you can see on such sites like https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 because - China is underreporting - Iran shows a much much higher death ratio - Dead / (Dead + Recovered)...
