Let’s let down our hair...and set it on fire.
Unfortunately I believe we may have to go back to a daily thread since there is lots of bad news..
for those catching up here are the last posts on the older thread
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3817900/posts?q=1&;page=751
what I have read so far:
It is becoming clear the covid19 also infects internal organs
earlier it was believed to be only the lungs, and a second bout could weaken the heart to failure
now it looks like ovaries and testes are also effected pus stool and urine also are transmission routes
waste water plants are supposed to kill viruses and the like, but effective against covid19 in the water is unknown.
drinking recently bottled water may be a problem as some labels are bottled using some city’s water
use bleach wipe on public restroom toilet seats before use - microscopic urine splatter could contain virus
wash hands often, alcohol straight or wipes after wash. whatever you touch could have virus on it.
relapse is possible and is often fatal - glass lung a symptom revealed by CT scan
currently, the death rate in wuhan, as posted on ‘forever thread’, is over 3% using official CCP numbers
wuhan’s 49 crematoriums (going 24/7 @270 bodies each daily) were supplemented by 40 portable industrial furnaces
Origin remains unknown despite many looking. virus has some unusual features some claim or have proved. the longer origin remains unknown, the more credence it lends to the “conspiracy” it is a bio-weapon.
This seems like troubling news:

Would probably help to label the title with a thread number or date.

Numbers outside China are growing — slowly — but growing. Now at 17 fatalities.

YES: WE NEED DAILY UPDATES
This Chicken Little talk can be bad for the market. Knock it off!
We have a contagion with an indeterminable incubation period, that can spread and/or linger in aerosol form and in sewer systems through urine and feces, that infects others from carriers that aren't showing symptoms, and re-infects those that have already been infected and recovered.
We don't know the kill rate and we don't know the long term damage if recovered?
This is looking grim.
I’ll freak out when the corona dramabug reaches 5 Million Cases Worldwide and 650,000 Deaths Annually that the flu bug causes.
Good morning!! Thank you for starting this!
For those who want additional info updated constantly, I highly suggest going to Reddit. The Coronavirus community is over 90,000 members now worldwide.

The blog that I follow daily is TheFurai.com, his site is dedicated to the virus, he’s a FReeper, and he reads this thread. He allows comments on his site, and its growing.

I kinda liked the daily threads. But whatever works for people.
Thanks for the new thread.
Thanks. Health/life BUMP!
Chinese media reports that two senior officials in Hubei Province – party secretary of the Health Commission of Hubei Province, Zhang Jin and the director of the Hubei Provincial Health Commission, Liu Yingzi – have been fired.
February 21 – The Chinese mainland has reported 889 new cases, with 75,465 confirmed cases, 5,206 suspected cases, and 2,236 deaths in total (as of midnight February 20), according to China’s National Health Commission.
February 20 – The Hubei provincial government announced to postpone the restart of businesses to March 11, 2020. The epidemic prevention and control headquarter of Hubei said the situation remains tense despite a drop in daily reports of new infections in the province.

China is temporarily reducing social insurance commitments on SMEs to combat the financial stress caused by the Covid-19. Specifically, the State Council made a surprise decision to reduce or exempt corporate social insurance premiums (pension, unemployment, and work injury insurance) for enterprises, and defer payments made to the housing provident fund applicable for the next few months. We explain the new policy announcements in our latest article, “China to Reduce Corporate Social Insurance Premiums, Defer Housing Provident Fund Payment.”
Total cases in mainland China reached 74,576 with 394 new confirmed cases. The method of calculation has changed once again with Hubei’s health commission separating suspected cases from the confirmed cases once again. The Guardian explains this change – the new system has removed people who were clinically diagnosed (through scans and assessing symptoms) but were found negative through the nucleic acid test.
Deaths from the Covid-19 in China now stands at 2,118 – 114 in the last 24 hours with 108 deaths recorded in Hubei Province.
