Good to be cautious and careful, of course, but people, can we please stop the panic!? The hype and fear-mongering are out of control. |

the Coronavirus outbreak thread
It may not be PC to address the elephant in the room, but the Chinese should really start thinking about changing some of their ways, like the things they eat, and cleanliness. It’s no longer just a local decision when it affects the world.
Experts think bats are the source of the Wuhan coronavirus. At least 4 pandemics have originated in these animals. https://www.businessinsider.com/wuha...-humans-2020-1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I completely agree with this. 100% spot on. Thank you for saying that.

It could simply be that the retail investor just can’t trade at the moment. Don’t know.

I think the world has learned the lesson of globalization in a very bad way. Essentials should be made at home. Everyone knows better. But the margins were just too sweet to ignore. Personally feel the world will come out of this healthier and to be honest, the world should take 1 month off to contain.

Yes, it is worse than the flu: busting the coronavirus myths The truth about the protective value of face masks and how easy it is to catch Covid-19 Hannah Devlin Science correspondent Fri 28 Feb 2020 13.59 GMTFirst published on Fri 28 Feb 2020 11.00 GMT Claim: ‘It is no more dangerous than winter flu’ Many individuals who get coronavirus will experience nothing worse than seasonal flu symptoms, but the overall profile of the disease, including its mortality rate, looks more serious. At the start of an outbreak the apparent mortality rate can be an overestimate if a lot of mild cases are being missed. But this week, a WHO expert suggested that this has not been the case with Covid-19. Bruce Aylward, who led an international mission to China to learn about the virus and the country’s response, said the evidence did not suggest that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. If borne out by further testing, this could mean that current estimates of a roughly 1% fatality rate are accurate. This would make Covid-19 about 10 times more deadly than seasonal flu, which is estimated to kill between 290,000 and 650,000 people a year globally |

With a ~3.5% mortality rate, coronavirus would be ~3,500 deaths per 100,000 cases I was talking about this with friends last night. Those rates are vastly different and our experience will be nothing like the flu. I’m 37 and lucky enough to not know anyone who’s died from the flu. The 2 friends I was talking to last night also didn’t know anyone who died from the flu. You also can’t catch the same strain of the flu more than once. I believe our experience to be different with this when corona really hits due to the rates and fact a person can get it more than once. I hypothesize that we'll all know someone who dies from this before it’s all said and done The US is basically dong nothing for prevention Don’t panic, but it’s very possible that we experience a societal paradigm shift once this really gets going

People need to stop panicking all the time.
it's just a flu and they are only using it to see how they can shut down a city.

https://www.businessinsider.com/wuha...-humans-2020-1 Experts think bats are the source of the Wuhan coronavirus. At least 4 pandemics have originated in these animals. The coronavirus spreading in China and the SARS outbreak of 2003 have two things in common: Both are from the coronavirus family and both were likely passed from animals to humans in a wet market. Coronaviruses are zoonotic diseases, meaning they spread to people from animals. Because wet markets put people and live and dead animals — dogs, chickens, pigs, civets, and more — in close contact, it can be easy for a virus to make an interspecies jump. "Poorly regulated live-animal markets mixed with illegal wildlife trade offer a unique opportunity for viruses to spill over from wildlife hosts into the human population," the Wildlife Conservation Society said in a statement. In the case of SARS and this coronavirus outbreak, bats were the original hosts. They then infected other animals via their poop or saliva, and the unwitting intermediaries transmitted the virus to humans. "Bats and birds are considered reservoir species for viruses with pandemic potential," Bart Haagmans, a virologist at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands, told Business Insider.

I’m also curious about its spike structure. I had read that no other coronavirus (recorded) had a spike to bind to cells. Only Ebola and HIV have this spike. Is any of that valid?

This is also an incredible source of information (at least for me), and she’s also an incredible reporter.

I’m not advocating for panic, but I think everyone should be taking this very seriously. All of our best defense is lots of hand washing and no touching of your own face/mouth. Those are difficult habits for a lot of people. Personally, that's what my family and I are focused on now. Getting in the habit by calling each other out if we see face/mouth touching.

I agree with taking the month off. The need to travel around internationally really isn’t that necessary. There are so many ways to conduct meetings technologically,being in person isn’t needed. Vacations can wait. Stay put for a while. |
