So I've been following this somewhat closely. Mostly due to market ramifications. What I cannot understand is: if this is no worse than the common flu why do I keep seeing photos of people in full on bio PPE treating folks? Why is Italy quarantined on a national level? When I juxtapose the figures next to the flu its not concerning, but when I look at the actual response its somewhat alarming. I suppose I'm in the wait and see camp.

The flu has a fatality rate of .1%. Hundreds of millions of people get it every year which is why thousands die from it.
Coronavirus has a fatality rate around 6% and the pandemic has literally just begun. If tens of millions of people get it, millions will die.

What is it about math that is so hard for some people?

WRONG!! Its not 6% and the number is based on confirmed cases. There are hundreds of cases, if not thousands, not confirmed for every one confirmed. Corona is flu and has a similar death rate of between 0.1% and 0.01%. There are literally millions of people world wide that have gotten and recovered from corona and not even noticed they had it.

0.1%

WERD!
 
Article says mortality rate in South Korea is 0.6%


Question remains whether the test kits are accurate. But, as mentioned above and previously, if you never test the people who have a lite case of the virus, and self-recover at home, obviously the mortality rate stats will be dominated by people whose symptoms were severe enough for them to go for help, and then actually got tested.

I'm sorry, could someone interpret that? The grad school I went to didn't offer any classes on how to speak moron.

Whoa! Check out the big brain on Brad! The one thing I know about book worms like you is that you have spend SOOO much time with your head buried in a book you never learned common sense. I see it all the time with Sr. Principals. Good with the theory but not so good with the common sense.

Let me dumb it down for you. For the 80K confirmed cases there are likely MILLIONS who had mild or no symptoms that are not being counted. Now divide that death count by the millions of cases and tell me what you get? Now move the decimal two places to the right and add a % sign. That is your number.

Dont want to be in a pissing match with you at all. When Alzheimers gets me; you may be the guy with my brain for all I know. But this death rate sh|t is getting out of hand and the media are using scary numbers to EFF the economy. Hell the Democrats probably paid the Chineese to do it just so they could blame Trump and hurt his reelection. Thats actually plausible. They hate him that much!

The data from the Diamond Princess, where everyone was accounted for, clearly shows this is false. There are very few asymptomatic patients.

 
As an old geezer I have some words of hope for us all ....

"If your time ain't come yet .... Even a doctor can't kill you."

I told these younguns something very similar before I left work this morning.

"Boys, if it's your time to leave this world for the next, all the medicine in the world ain't gonna keep you this side of the grave."
 
As I've taken a helpacritter oath, I'll share my hillbilly doctorin with y'all.
1part fresh ginger grated or food processored.
1 part raw unblended honey, if you can get some old dark honey from a hive, even better.
1/2 part lemon juice, fresh is best
1/2 part Grand Marnier, Cognac, favorite bourbon or rye will do, but in my opinion they are listed in order of effective medicinal quality for your convenience.

Mix that all up in your food processor, ninjer mixer or whatever.
Put in Mason jar in the fridge. Shake before using.
Take a spoonful every 2 to 6 hours as needed.
If that don't knock the clabbered shit out of your lungs, you are probably gonna need an undertaker.
 
Since I have seasonal rhinitis I always freak out if I’m catching something. Right now I have a slight cough. However eyes bloodshot and sneezing. Could not possibly be the mass of pollen out there. But seriously. I do wonder if having allergies would make the lethality much more?
 
The following may be helpful to some, amusing to others. I’m no doctor, and don’t have all them fancy degrees some of you claim to have:geek:, but it made good sense to me, most of it anyways. YMMV


From a member of the Stanford Hospital Board (unverified). This is their feedback on Corona virus:
The new Coronavirus (COVID19) may not show sign of infection for many days. How can one know if he/she is infected? By the time they have fever and/or cough and go to the hospital, the lung is usually 50% Fibrosis and it's too late. Taiwan experts provide a simple self-check that we can do every morning.

Take a deep breath and hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stiffness or tightness, etc., it proves there is no Fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicates no infection. In critical time, please self-check every morning in an environment with clean air.

Serious excellent advice by Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases:

Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat are moist, never dry. Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least. Why? Even if the virus gets into your mouth, drinking water or other liquids will wash them down through your throat and into the stomach. Once there, your stomach acid will kill all the virus. If you don't drink enough water more regularly, the virus can enter your windpipe and into the lungs. That's very dangerous. Please send and share this with family and friends. Take care everyone and may the world recover from this Coronavirus soon.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - CORONAVIRUS

1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold

2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.

3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees Celsius. It hates the Sun.

4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.

5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.

6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it.

7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.

8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.

9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.

10. Can't emphasis enough - drink plenty of water!

THE SYMPTOMS

1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days

2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.

3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.

4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek medical attention immediately.

The panic is on!
 
@Maser. Listen good shit for brains. What would you have us do? Go to war with China and Russia over something Repub-patriots had ZERO control over. Your talking out of your asshole and you know it. Quit drunk posting dip shit.

The Chinese got that Level 4 virus shit from the Canadians. Should we just nuke Canada to show them whats what? How do people like you even put your legs in the right holes of your underwear without falling in the defication? Thats a rhetorical question. You cant.

As for the Chinese disappearing reporters? Fuck them too. They should have known better than to open their stupid Effing mouths before they left CHINA! What did they expect was going to happen? Everything you said reminds me of the dumb ass who pulls a gun in the police station and then wonders why they shot him. Phht. Think.

Ohh and while your here. What exactly is going on Maser? Feel free to explain. And when U R done....

NOW STFU because your coming off like an arrogant 2 post troll.

Soap box OFF
Good Lord, it's nearly 2 days later and the text in this post is still flammable. Fuck was your BAC?
 
This kind of sounds like a threat, no?

In an article in China's Xinhua News titled "Be bold: The World owes China a thank you," the author said that if China imposes restrictions on pharmaceutical exports, the United States will be "plunged into the mighty sea of coronavirus."
 
We are at war with China and too stupid to know it. Its perfect. They infect themselves and play the victim. Meanwhile hide it long enough to infect the planet. They have shitloads of people. They will lose less people this way than if they nuked us and we retaliated. They probably have a cure already and are just waiting for things to get worse before they cure their people.

Wait til this shit mutates. Edit: in a really really bad way.

I thought I read that it had already mutated at least once.

Originally, they though Iran and Italy strain were already mutated strains.

It has. A LOT more than those couple of news articles said. But most of the mutations are small and very similar. So they fall into basically two major strains.

This site has been tracking the genomes of PCR analyzed samples for a while now:

actually allergy season might help limit the spread.

its shown that higher humidity in the air actually knocks the virus to the ground faster which is why the flu is mostly a "cold weather" issue.

possibly the extra material/pollen in the air will grab some virus on the way down.
