Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Quote:The New England Journal of Medicine Another Decade, Another Coronavirus The viral genome has been sequenced, and these results in conjunction with other reports show that it is 75 to 80% identical to the SARS-CoV and even more closely related to several bat coronaviruses.3 It can be propagated in the same cells that are useful for growing SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, but notably, 2019-nCoV grows better in primary human airway epithelial cells than in standard tissue-culture cells, unlike SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV. Transmission of 2019-nCoV probably occurs by means of large droplets and contact (comment: making surgical masks and hand sanitizers appropriate) and less so by means of aerosols and fomites, on the basis of our experience with SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2001126
Quote:South China Morning Post 5 million left Wuhan before lockdown, 1,000 new coronavirus cases expected in city “From observations, the virus is capable of transmission even during incubation period,” Ma said, adding that the incubation period lasted from one to 14 days. “Some patients have normal temperatures and there are many milder cases. There are hidden carriers,” he said. Ma said also that the virus had adapted to humans and appeared to have become more transmissible. “There are signs showing the virus is becoming more transmissible. These walking ‘contagious agents’ [hidden carriers] make controlling the outbreak a lot more difficult.” Ma said that the epidemic was accelerating and “may last for some time”. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3047720/chinese-premier-li-keqiang-head-coronavirus-crisis-team-outbreak

If I can find one that's 60% or more alcohol (either ethanol or IPA), even better! A second case of coronavirus has just been confirmed in SoCal since this morning. But for now, all we're going to hear about is Kobe Bryant.

Meanwhile, nobody I know IRL has even brought it up. Do Right, Be Right. :)

I wouldn't be as concerned if we had a vaccine - and it does not seem to be as fatal (thank all the godz), but still... are they screened first by US Drs before boarding and how effective is the screening? Curiouser and curiouser. Pandemic series no#1 on Netflix

Curiouser and curiouser. Pandemic series no#1 on NetflixI still want to note that I'm not at all worried about this thing and I think that people are taking this way to seriously. That being said though, I agree with the Captain here. I was talking to my grandma on the phone yesterday and she had the news on mute and told me about them getting Americans out of China and I said "why the fuck are they doing that?" Do Right, Be Right. :)

Quote:Originally posted by JEWELSTAITEFAN: If one is infected on the plane, they are all 200 risking getting it during the flight. Enclosed/confined space. Once they get here, they are screened several times, and also quarantined for days or weeks if needed - and all would be willing to do so versus the alternative of staying in China. These are all American citizens, mostly dependants of U.S. Diplomats - so we are lookng out for those who are doing our work for us. If they are proven to be uninfected now, why would you declare they must be left where they will likely contract the fatal infection? If one or more are infected at this point, it's not going to get from California to Indiana while they are in quarantine, so what is the problem?

Quote:I dunno - how much do you trust the government to keep us informed if things get iffy?
Quote:Because in a month or two we should know how things are going ... but that's assuming of course we're being told the truth.
