WHO declares global virus emergency after deadliest day for China

THE World Health Organisation yesterday declared a global emergency over the deadly coronavirus outbreak in China, in acknowledgement of the threat the disease poses to the world.

The warning, officially known as a “public health emergency of international concern” and defined as an “extraordinary event”, is the highest alert the UN health agency can issue.

Is it possible that Toyota made this corona virus to target the Wu-Tang Clan? :noidea:

Re: Corona Virus
 

That's kind of chump change ....so to speak...

Re: Corona Virus
 

You kill a bear with a gun.

I don't like all the discrimination going on because the chinese have different diets than Americans. A citizen in Wuhan would probably think we are disgusting for eating hotdogs.

I do agree it's way worse than what's being reported, for a number of reasons. China simply doesn't have the resources to deal with this adequately. I don't think any country would, with as rapid as the virus is spreading.

Re: Corona Virus
 

As of yesterday, China is warning citizens to "take care of" their pets or risk having them killed by the government, in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus.

Scary stuff. Basically you either keep your pet inside 24/7 or risk having them euthanized by Winnie the Pooh's regime.

Re: Corona Virus
 

Good to see you looking on the bright side. :)

Personally in my life I see people stocking up on survival supplies (cleaning supplies, n95 masks, more food, etc). People are prepping.

And I also see a lot of naysayers say it's no big deal.

It seems split 50/50 right now.

Re: Corona Virus
 

Friendly reminder that if you're going to prep, spend the few extra dollars for p100 masks. Go big or go.... to your grave. :lol:

My Chinese suppliers claim that they will begin shipping on the 15th but I don't believe it to be the case. I imagine we are still several weeks out from items being able to be exported from China

Re: Corona Virus
 

Amazing how fast these facts change now.
At last count the death toll stands at 304.
I have no doubt the final count will be a lot higher than SARS ever was.

Re: Corona Virus
 

Some evidence that it's way worse than reported.

Also demonstrates how desperately China is working to censor this from the rest of the world. They know it would kill their economy if the real numbers leaked out.

Re: Corona Virus
 

This can be suspected phaz - good link though for a bit of clarity

Re: Corona Virus
 

There are dead people everywhere. You're only added to the official death toll if you're tested and confirmed to have the virus before you die. There's a shortage of test kits and many people with the virus have to be tested multiple times before testing positively. The vast majority of those dying are being labeled by CCP as "pneumonia" or "old age" deaths despite having the virus.

All those factors combined add up to something out of a horror movie. I guess I'll continue monitoring the situation while hoping I can restock my inventory soon. :typing:

Re: Corona Virus
 

On the contrary, Chinese New Year is definitely the worst time of year to have a non-vaccinated virus breakout. Most who work in Chinese cities go back to rural China to visit their family during CNY. Hence the spread. It's almost like this was engineered and was released immediately before CNY to make sure it would spread as much as possible. What are the chances of some naturally mutated virus just happening to release itself right before all of the biggest social gatherings in China? Probably 1 in a billion.

Re: Corona Virus
 

They're probably doing fine since there are only like 3 confirmed cases in the USA. The US media isn't talking about coronavirus for a good reason (they want to avoid creating a panic).

I've been reading that Asian males are particularly susceptible to this virus, which would explain why it's spreading so rapidly in China while not spreading very fast in the rest of the world. There are science journal articles about it.. but I don't think it's enough to draw any conclusions yet.

Re: Corona Virus
 

It's got to do with Asians naturally having a higher concentration of a specific enzyme in their lungs. I'll try to post some info for you a little later.

EDIT: here is one of the articles suggesting Asian males are more susceptible due to a higher concentration of ACE2 enzymes - https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...01.26.919985v1

Re: Corona Virus
 

Afraid there will be many other cases like this ,there are reported many infected and they do not have at moment enough hospital structure to treat all

Re: Corona Virus
 

My supplier inform me that the New Years holiday has been extended to the 9th of feb. They say voluntary medical teams have arrived and the situations under control. However bare in mind this is China whatever you hear in the media you can probably x10.

Wuhan Coronavirus Likely to Soon Be Declared a Pandemic, Scientists Warn

Scientists and disease experts say the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak could soon be declared a pandemic.

The World Health Organisation last week designated the coronavirus – whose scientific name is 2019-nCoV – a "public-health emergency of international concern."


Calling the virus a pandemic would take it to a new level, however, since that term refers to a more global outbreak.

The coronavirus is "very, very transmissible, and it almost certainly is going to be a pandemic," Anthony Fauci, the director of the US's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told The New York Times on Sunday.

Here are criteria for a virus to be labelled a pandemic:

The WHO defines a pandemic as "the worldwide spread of a new disease."
A pandemic disease spreads across "several countries or continents, usually affecting a large number of people," according to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
A viral outbreak could be characterised as a pandemic if it is "markedly different from recently circulating strains" and if "humans have little or no immunity" to it, according to the UK's Health and Safety Executive.
A disease becomes a pandemic when it can infect many people over a large area, be transferred from person to person, and cause clinical illness, the HSE said.
An epidemic, by contrast, refers to a more localised or regional outbreak rather than a global one. That's what health agencies have so far considered the coronavirus outbreak to be.


The CDC says an epidemic is an "increase, often sudden, in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in that population in that area."

Similarly, the WHO defines an epidemic as the "occurrence in a community or region of cases of an illness, specific health-related behaviour, or other health-related events clearly in excess of normal expectancy."

Thomas Frieden, a former CDC director, told The Times that it is "increasingly unlikely" that the coronavirus "can be contained."

He added: "It is therefore likely that it will spread, as flu and other organisms do, but we still don't know how far, wide, or deadly it will be."

Robert Webster, an infectious-disease expert at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, told The Associated Press on Sunday that "it sounds and looks as if it's going to be a very highly transmissible virus."

The Wuhan coronavirus has killed at least 362 people and infected more than 17,000 other people in more than 24 countries since the first cases were reported in December.

All but one of those deaths were in China; on Saturday, a man in the Philippines became the first to die of the virus outside China.

Re: Corona Virus
 

How can they say the death rate is only 2% if the recovered numbers are only 666?

Re: Corona Virus
 

Its an ongoing tally. The numbers keep shifting and a the moment that's what 'estimate' it will be.

Re: Corona Virus
 

Lot of Chinese hiding of stats likely going on as well

Re: Corona Virus
 

How cant they know it is coronavirus ?they speak just of it .are the direct .they will looking for the closest hospital for even a small synthom and they will be very happy to loose their freedom to get shut in ,who want to dhie?

Re: Corona Virus
 

if stay at home and have synthom in these days dont go away by itself,
in the hospital there are more chance to save,it is officially forbidden now dont get tratment for the reason that can attach to other

Re: Corona Virus
 

Do you have a source on that?

Nobody can get treatment because the hospitals are filled way over capacity. The videos coming out of China over the past 10 days have been surreal. People with confirmed cases are being quarantined inside their apartment. There are videos on Twitter of CCP officials putting metal braces over the doors of people with confirmed cases. There is no public transportation running anyway, so most don't have a way to get to the hospital even if they wanted to. Cities are on lockdown, and even the Chinese member turbo997 here is saying nobody can leave their home for the next 2 weeks.

What really is officially forbidden though is for Chinese to post what CCP defines as "rumors", online. 9 doctors were arrested just for discussing their observations in a WeChat group during the first couple of days, and the WeChat censorship since then has been crazy. Wechat groups are being shut down and lots of people have had their account deleted. The CCP is so afraid of the impact this will have on their economy that people living within China aren't allowed to say anything negative, or really talk about the virus at all. The only thing Chinese citizens are allowed to say about Corona online is stuff like "China has found a cure and our wonderful leadership is working diligently" or "guys, there's no reason to be afraid, chinese leadership has this under control", when in both cases the truth is the opposite. It's very plain to see they're just shilling for the Chinese government because they have to.

Re: Corona Virus
 

According to this article on CNN, Xi appears to be "missing" He's not been seen in days. The fertility rate of the coronary virus is significantly higher in people over 60 years old so I can understand if the communist party is protecting their most prized asset. :bounce:

Re: Corona Virus
 

I hate to say it, but that isn't real. zerohedge was the first news outlet that fell for it and published an article. Now others are following suit.. but it never really happened. Tencent is publishing numbers that increase by exactly the same % every day, so it couldn't have possibly happened.

It's from the corona virus general threads on 4chan. Some guy used the "inspect element" tool in firefox to edit the HTML on the tencent page, making artificial numbers show, then he took a screenshot and posted it, then it went viral. It happened a few days ago and hundreds of people have made their own edits now. I even made one myself:

Re: Corona Virus
 

China just happens to be ground zero. What you see in China right now will be replicated all over the world. Just wait and see.

Re: Corona Virus
 

The chinese site that posted that retracted the article, replacing it with one saying he's in critical condition. Who knows what the truth really is.

Re: Corona Virus
 

Dude you really need to STFU with all your xenophobic and moronic conspiracy theories.

not sure?
I have yet to see anyone wearing a mask,except ME !
They may be raiding the stores for toilet paper,sanitizer,bleach,but do they really do anything with it?
Do they really go home and wash their hands?
Look at the grocery store check out clerk,or lady at the customer service,they are not taking any precaution?

see,I dont want to go to poor shops or places I am not familiar with.
With this Kroger,I can just zip in and out,it is middle class and they shop after work,I go there before they come home from work.
at the check out ,there is a notice of a list of items you can only get quantity=3

I bought my bleach,pasta,water,meat,canned soup,bread,toilet paper,paper towel,etc etc last month,I have been warning you folks on this forum.

if any one in your family or social circle is sick with this virus,you would care /
So far I am not sick and I dont know anyone who is sick,but you never know.

Some of the fish you see in supermarket are mislabeled,orange ruffy is one.
Sole is another,I though it is a delicay and expensive but I have seen frozen ones for sale dirt cheap?

Someone once told me he used to live in Florida and there is a shark which they caught and the meat tastes and look like scallops.
Scallops is a delicacy,there is not enough to supply restaurants,food company and supermarkets.
They will cut the shark meat into long strips,and push them thru a machine and it will come out shaped like scallops.
But shark urinate thru its skin ,so there would be an odor?

In some societies,folks wear the same clothes for days,not everyone has washer/dryer,some have washers but not dryer,some still handwash their clothes,some like in India,goes to the river to wash their clothes .
They also like t o rid thing by throwing them into the river,like dead goats,cows.

Now an Indian guru is saying this virus is a new avatar to punish the non -vegetarian eaters !!

There are plenty of meat eaters in India,and they let their cows roam the streets and monkeys too.
BTW,cowdung makes better fuel than natural gas.
Come to think of it,every culture has some taboos of what to eat and what not to eat,some dont eat pork because of tapeworms,some dont eat bottomfeeders like the cat fish,some dont eat the innards of animals.
In Japan,it takes many years to become a sushi chef for good reasons

wuhan hospital director died of virus

Yes,I have been to some of these countries,but you dont have to be there -these customs have been in place since ancient time !.
here is something I just read,sad,wonder if it is really self quarantee or some one welded their door?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...wuhan-covid-19

How do we know,they dont tell us in the death certificate.
Besides this virus is airborne,not transmitted via food.

they could be shut in,his parents were very sick and his wife is now sick,and he died.
someone escaped from the hospital when he found out it is just a place to die,as they just dont have the resources to tend to all .

https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/millions...fast-1.1394095

Did you see the number of cases reported?
It is over 400 and surpassed Singapore,JAPAN,HK?

I read there is this conference in Singapore and most attendees are not local.
One is Malaysian and he has the virus,he went back to Malaysia.
One is Korean and went back home to a small town called Daegu> and then to Seoul.
But the victims are mostly members of Church?
And you said some KOREANS went to Israel?
I am afraid sooner or later we are going to hear more cases in US

virus needs a host,when the host dies,the virus dies with him.

We have a population explosion and now mother nature is going to take care of this problem.
Other means would be earthquake,tsunami,volcano eruption,Bibical like flood,more diseasese which we have no cure .

why not aliens arriving in UFOs?
Thats the reason we cant find a cure for the virus

San Fran is declaring emergency ,may be we should all go and get a freezer so we dont have to go shopping for food so often.

5 millions people left Wuhan before the lockdown,are these migrant workers going home for Lunar NY or locals knowing something we dont know?
Chinese Lunar New Year is like a diaspora,everyone wants to go home to be with family,and the traditions of celebrating the new year call for sharing meals together,visiting each other.

Those who followed mother Teresa around to see how she does good deeds,if they ever bruise /slip and fall on some dirty pool of water (which is common in monsoon season) in the street,MOTHER will have someone applied antibiotics ,they dont wait till you return to the hotel,by then it would be too late.
Egypt is better,you can stay at a 4 stars hotel but you want to brush your teeth with bottled water,dont eat lettuce or any fresh veggies or fruits with skin on,keep washing your hands.
The filthiest thing in the civilised world is currencies,those coins and papers,

Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks said he had his wife Rita Wilson have contracted COVID-19, the illness derived from the novel coronavirus in Australia. Hanks and Wilson have been in Australia filming an untitled Elvis Presley film from Warner Bros being directed by Baz Luhrmann, according to Deadline. Hanks tweeted this message: "Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive." Hanks and Wilson are both 63. The announcement comes after the infectious disease, known as COVID-19, has spread to more than 124,000 people and claims more than 4,000 lives. The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the outbreak a pandemic, after it spread to more than 100 countries.

2 vaccines have been submitted,so far we heard nothing,they are to fortify the immune system,I wonder if children are not infected because they have strong immune system while elderly and sick have impaired immune system?

depends on what the test kit is testing,the early one just check your body temperature.
they are aiming this thing at your forehead,if you are running a fever,you test positive but by the time you are running a fever and out and about,how many people have you infected?
I bet you there are many who just keep quiet,hoping it will go away or it is not corona virus or just dont want anyone to send them to hospital ,they are like roach motel you can check in but cant check out,or one becomes like a leper .
