I am pulling my kids out of school to home school them. No more eating out at restaurants. No more movie theaters or being around large groups of people for me. The strong will survive and the weak will die, but I will take no chances with my kids.

Re: Corona Virus
 

I agree with you. Most news sites used to past the figures for infected / deaths on the front pages of their websites. CNN and the BBC now seem to bury this information of late.
I think there's a concerted effort to water down the effect of the spread of this virus but not out of ill will. I suppose they're trying to avoid panic.


I hope that's the worst-case scenario and that a vaccine is found in time to avoid that many deaths.

Re: Corona Virus
 

Have you done your panic shopping yet? =}

I bought four rolls of toilet paper yesterday :)

Re: Corona Virus
 

If successive reporting continues as such, then it could be good news.
For now, I'll just presume its a fluke or someone isn't reporting in.

The UK has a surprisingly low number of cases in comparison to some of its neighbours like France, Spain and Italy - but these countries have far more visitors anyway.
I think our worse is yet to come and it is only a matter of time before our numbers go up. :juggle:

From his twitter page

This afternoon, I was notified by CPAC that they discovered a photo of myself and the patient who has tested positive for #COVID19.

While I am not experiencing any symptoms, I have decided to self-quarantine out of an abundance of caution.

Joe Rogan has just had Michael Osterholm on his podcast about the coronavirus. Definitely worth a watch.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if he's declared dead in 3-6 weeks.

No ill-will intended eh? hah

GOOD NEWS

China's Hubei province says it will gradually allow businesses to reopen in the coming days and weeks

China's Hubei province, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak, will allow businesses to gradually come back online and will resume some public transportation services, the provincial government said in a statement Wednesday.

The decision comes as the number of cases in the province has declined significantly. Hubei was reporting thousands of infections a day just weeks ago. There were only 14 new infections reported in Hubei Tuesday, according to China's National Health Commission.

Businesses in Wuhan -- the provincial capital and the city where the virus was first identified -- that are related to epidemic control, public utilities and daily necessities are allowed to resume work now, the statement said. Other firms can return to work starting on March 20.

The provincial government said that regions outside Wuhan will be divided into areas of high, medium and low risk. The order of work resumption will depend on the nature of businesses and where they are located. Meanwhile, business that involve people gathering in small spaces -- like karaoke bars, movie theaters and beauty salons -- will not be allowed to reopen until after the outbreak is over.

Areas where the risk is deemed medium or low will be allowed to gradually resume public transportation services like city buses and flights between provinces.

However, public transportation in Wuhan and other high-risk areas will continue to be suspended until further notice, it said. Schools across Hubei province will continue to be suspended until further notice and checkpoints will remain in place for those wishing to enter or leave Hubei.

help with professionals on the way to Italy. they saved lots lots people's life here will do the same in Italy.

At the request of the Italian Red Cross, a Chinese medical team carrying humanitarian relief supplies flew to coronavirus-hit Italy on Wednesday to help the country combat novel coronavirus, Sichuan Daily reports.

http://img3.zhytuku.meldingcloud.com...9842366f0d.jpg

The seven-member-team includes medical experts from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Red Cross Society of China and West China Hospital.

The novel coronavirus outbreak continued to spread in locked-down Italy on Tuesday, with authorities confirming that a total of 10,149 people have tested positive and 631 have died since the epidemic first emerged in northern Italy on February 21.

Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio held a phone call with Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday, expressing his hopes that China will help solve Italy's urgent need of medical supplies and equipment.

Even though China still needs a large number of medical materials to overcome its own difficulties, they will offer Italy assistance with medical materials, including face masks. They will also accelerate and enhance the exports of supplies and equipment to meet Italy's urgent need, Wang Yi said.

South Korea - 7755 (+242)

Re: Corona Virus
 

Perception of situation in Italy is iscreased a lot by the media. Living here seems quite normal, even if the government placed some restrictions in all Italy area.

Italy is the only one EU contries made thousands of tampons...the other EU countries are hiding real data, and doing a lot less of tampons to people.

All EU is under corona, not only Italy

Re: Corona Virus
 

yes maybe ture.
but it also 10 times happend to china previously.
like police shot infectors,shanghai get 100000+ death.
street medias with those dirty reporters only write what you suprise to hear and draw people attension to get clicks and profit,they don't care about the truth.
which made western people nowdays still have a lot misunderstanding about chinese society.It is still too far to perfact but not that bad really.
hope at final of this disaster would fix bit of this.

Re: Corona Virus
 

Can somebody explain the tampon bit to me?


Masks are sold out in my town now. I looked out of curiosity yesterday and Walmart had a sign that just said "Sorry! :("

Re: Corona Virus
 

Here is how COVID-19 is spreading:

hot weather --> slow spreading (e.g: Singapore, African countries...etc)

cold weather --> rapid spreading (e.g: Norway and Sweden)


The virus will taper off entering the summer, but will pick up quickly as winter comes back. In other words, we are in for a long journey that will probably last for 1-2 years until the miraculous vaccine pops up.

Re: Corona Virus
 

There has never been a vaccine for any type of human coronavirus.

https://i.postimg.cc/pdMSqsbs/corona.png


I don't have much faith in these "vaccination breakthroughs" at this point, considering that it's never been done before and it's something usually considered to be outside the scope of modern medical knowledge. This is why it would be considered a miracle.

Re: Corona Virus
 

That's subjective.

ANYWAY, just pointing out that it's never been done before so it's unlikely to be done now. I certainly wouldn't be one of the trial volunteers, even if I were infected.

Re: Corona Virus
 

I didn't say what I believe. My opinion on it doesn't go quite as deep as upwards'.

To me the likely explanation is that China was trying to develop a SARS vaccine (china tells us this is what the Wuhan biolab was doing), something went wrong, and covid was released to the wild. There was no stopping it at that point. I don't go into any details past that theory.. because things start becoming farfetched past that point. I don't deny that other groups/parties may have been involved though.
