What you need to know about the virus in China "2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)"

[andymok]

Many youtube doctors said insufficient data a week ago
Many are just sorry after seeing the "data" on one night shift a week later

but then it's already too late to talk about any preventive measures
too little too late, because we're so obsess with numbers and data that we couldn't let go, wouldn't believe or accept without seeing

we all are have our learning curves of course, such as expensive lesson, I can't even tell what's worth and what's not.

of course, micro makes macro, it always helps doing your own part.

Currently there's police check points on the main roads into Torquay, Devon, UK .

I imagine that's a national reality.

The percentage that contract the virus isn't what's important. The important statistic is the percentage that survive, not the percentage that die.
Many will contract the virus and not even register in the statistics. There isn't a health service imaginable that could cope with every case of contraction.

Important to what? The percentage of people who contract the virus is important to understanding whether or not mitigation and containment methods are working. But ultimately, to most of us, the most important concern is the number of people who die.

Indeed, I find similar faults in my own disposition; I'm less likely to think of magnetic fields and electrons whilst listening to music, more likely to meditate on the fairer sex perhaps. Such is the folly of feeling...

Data and a macro views give perspective and afford potential for widespread betterment, but both for me are a poor salve for familial or friend loss.

Trump intenta conseguir materiales médicos de países de Europa y Asia, incluida China

Trump tries to get medical materials from countries in Europe and Asia, including China

[ The coronavirus crisis has unleashed a real crusade in the world to achieve at least three things to help combat it: treatment, a vaccine, and the medical supplies needed to cope. And it looks like Donald Trump is at the forefront of that quest. If a few days ago it was known, thanks to a publication by the Welt am Sonntag newspaper, that the US president had tried to convince German laboratories to advance research into a lost fund vaccine in exchange for patent rights, to guarantee the exclusive right of it for the AMERICAN giant, now the British The Guardian has revealed that he has done the same but with the search for medical supplies.

Although Trump has publicly defended his country's strength to fight the pandemic by arguing that "we should never rely on a foreign country for our own survival" and that "the United States will never be a begging nation," on the other hand, has tried to have its European and Asian allies sell it supplies, such as test kits and other medical teams in the face of its country's scarcity and the scale of the threat it faces... ]

Amir will have to wait a while for me to go hug him and kiss him


https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/26/spain-coronavirus-response-analysis

by Giles Tremlett https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giles_Tremlett

[ The main reason for the quick spread through Spain may be completely mundane. It has been an unusually mild, sunny spring. In late February and early March, with temperatures above 20C (68F), Madrid’s pavement cafes and bars were heaving with happy folk, doing what Madrileños like best – being sociable. That means hugging, kissing and animated chatter just a few inches from someone else’s face... ]

I believed that The Guardian was a serious newspaper and not a yellowish pamphlet.

 

[MediumRare]

The US has a lot more people.

More than China?

Let's stop making excuses. The US has mismanaged this just like many other countries. If we all wore masks in February we wouldn't be spending $2 trillion of our children's money on supporting our lavish lifestyles.

Hi

This is what I retain from what I have learned so far.

This virus is very efficient at infecting people thus perpetuating itself. It can very quickly affect a very large number of people. If containment or other measures are/were not enforced and strictly, the rate of infection could/would rise above 60%. Worldwide, planet wide ... About 5 Billions of people... Assuming a conservative mortality rate of just ... : 0.7% that is 35,000,000 persons that will cease to live in a short while.
Those are staggering numbers and can explain the draconian, primitive but so far effective measures taken. Will we become wiser and start treating our planet and our fellow human beings differently? My hopes are not high, seeing how the profit motive remains at the forefront ... of even those initiatives to save ourselves, the Human race. Some have even declared a "war" to/on the virus ... ...

 

[Shadrach]

0.7%. Not too bad then.

35,000,000 people. Oh my god that's terrible.

 

[Putter]

Not that it really matters, but who owns this mansion?

 

[Shadrach]

Currently.
China, population 1,396,164,036
Deaths attributed to Covid-19 3,278.

 

[FrantzM]

Not getting overly philosophical but here I go.

In the face of this new menace, our response has been Social Distancing and it has worked..
Herd Immunity is a real phenomenon. It is not easy to control but it does happen and throughout our history as a race, we became immune to microbes and/or their mutation, it is a dynamic ever changing, highly complex and poorly understood process. The simplistic notion of distancing ourselves of all human physical contacts stems from our view that ALL microbes must be eliminated, thus you have people calling themselves "germophobes" and cleaning everything in their household with Lysol and/or bleach .. producing in the process superbugs that wreck havoc with their health .... We have a rather poor and limited understanding of our relationship with the microbes ... When one realizes that we have about 10 trillion cells composing our body and at any given time 100 trilions microbes living on, in us .. I am not sure the viruses are counted in these else the number could well be 1000 trillions microbes on each and every human beings ...
Herd immunity works when elements of the herd transmit their microbes and their immune response to the individuals in herd via microbes ... So far it is not via telepathy or even the more plebeian electronic virtual presence ... body fluids have to mix somehow for this to happen or at least physical proximity so the organisms can "jump" from one person to the other ...

So people better find a way to treat this thing and resume our human interactions .. Our conversations , our gatherings, our protest marches, our being Humans

Being on a small rant ...
Much has been said about them Asians with their proximity with animals ... while we, the thoughtful non-Asians. kiss our pets, play with our pets, take them to the veterinarian, visit our pets stores ...

To Health!

Report and support.

What you need to know about Covid-19 is it’s a flu type virus. It doesn’t really matter any more where it came from, or even how it infected humans.
We get viruses every year; each one different from the last. They mutate.
Each year millions get infected by such viruses. Some are more virulent than others.
Each year hundreds of thousands of people die who get infected by such viruses; many die due to compromised immune systems rather than through the effects of the virus alone.
Many other species get viruses.

It would seem that the media, some individuals and politicians have ramped up a considerable amount of hysteria to this particular flu virus. Many will contract the virus and not even be aware of it. Many others will contract it and have flu like symptoms for a couple of weeks. Some with compromised immune systems will die if they contract the virus. Most will not die from the virus.

Look at the numbers compared to other diseases and other pandemics. Work out percentages and you'll feel safer.

We are being manipulated.
Here is an example of how.
I keep chickens (now they do have an extermination problem) They call me Bucket Boy.

“Bucket Boy, will the virus kill me.”

This is very interesting. Can you please provide more insight into the source and motive behind the manipulation beyond making analogy to your birds? (as enlightening at that is!)

 

[andymok]

I hope doctors in the frontline, their stories, feelings, words that spit out of their mouth were "mediated" as well.

No one asked for a quarantine, they literally did. At least that's what happened at my place.

"In the emergency room on Monday, Dr. de Souza thought she saw a familiar face. A patient was coughing so hard he could barely speak. The young man was one of their own, Dr. Yijiao Fan, 31, an oral surgery resident with no prior medical issues who had tested positive for the virus. He had been in isolation at home all week and thought he was getting better, but began coughing blood that morning." Just the flu.
