*if* any existing bat coronavirus...

That's going to be quite a search. Chinese researchers have identified 400-500 depending on the article cited. They say they have only scratched the surface.

*Snerk*.

As though we can trust the Chinese on anything?

It was rhetorical.

Even after the order went into effect on February 2, some 40,000 people – traveling on 279 flights – have arrived in the U.S. from China,

Wasn't there always the exception that American citizens could still return form wherever? And it's been said often that there is a huge amount of travel back to China for the Chinese New Year (January 25th this year). There was probably a large number of Chinese-American citizens going back and forth, plus US citizens who were in China for other reasons.

ECUADOR
Ecuador stores coronavirus victims in giant fridges as morgues fill up
Vicente Gaibor del Pino, Yury Garcia

GUAYAQUIL (Reuters) - Ecuador’s government has begun storing the bodies of victims of the coronavirus in giant refrigerated containers as hundreds of deaths in the city of Guayaquil, the center of the country’s outbreak, have already filled morgues and hospitals.

Ecuador has confirmed 318 deaths from the virus, one of the highest tallies in Latin America. But President Lenin Moreno said this week that the real figure was higher as authorities were collecting more than 100 bodies a day, many from relatives’ homes as a strict quarantine prevented them from being buried.

S.Korea

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s vice health minister has urged vigilance to maintain hard-won gains against the new coronavirus.

Kim Gang-lip expressed concerns over loosened attitudes toward social distancing that he says puts the country at potential risk of an infection “explosion” similar to Europe and the United States.

His warning on Monday came after the country reported 47 new cases of the coronavirus, the smallest daily jump since Feb. 20. Infections have continued to wane in the worst-hit city of Daegu, where 6,781 of the country’s 10,284 cases have been reported.

Uh huh.

How about the vaunted coronaviruses to which this virus is supposed to be 96% or so identical to?

And please explain to me, of what possible efficacy for a f*cking vaccine, is a protein which attacks heme?

Just heard this morning that my Mother in Law’s nursing home is the site of a new cluster. She had a pleural effusion earlier this winter. At 97, I am pretty sure she would not fare well.

We are not shocked, but it “stings” when it hits close to home.

For what it’s worth, there was a FluBro on another thread making the case for letting it rip through the country. He basically said two things:

1) He agrees that older people will need to isolate. He didn’t quite try to explain how that works, since not all old people live alone, or are capable of living alone, much less for what may be several months. Nor did he define just what constitutes being ‘old’.

2) He said that the virus death rate for younger people was the same as the flu. This is one that made me want to reply (but he wasn’t worth my time). The death rate of the flu, for ALL Americans is something like 1 out of 1000 cases...which comes pretty close to matching the death rate for the youngest victims of Coronavirus. Two things here:

a) The Coronavirus doesn’t look at your birth certificate to determine whether to kill you. The increase in death rate is does grow with age, in what appear to be a smooth curve - so if you’re 45 years old, you do have a significantly higher chance of dying than someone 25 years old - even though most here would agree that 45 years of age does not make you an ‘old person’.

b) The flu kills OLD PEOPLE - Just like Coronavirus, the death rate from the flu is not constant throughout age groups. I doubt anyone here can think of a single case of a child, or even a young adult, dying from the flu. Although I haven’t done the math, even at 0.1%, I wouldn’t be surprised if Coronavirus would become the leading cause of death for the younger age groups, if left unchecked.

He is correct. It is impossible to have discourse without being called a name in the first sentence.

Their ignorance and greed is stunning. I guess when you are locked up for a whopping two to three weeks your true self emerges.

I haven’t seen the most recent assessment, but about a month ago there were two or three places to get tests.

They were also dealing with locusts, and virus-X.

My guess is they have a lot of issues to deal with—and they are not really counting.

You should see some of the insults I’ve taken.

And none of them came from datura.

There are some very unstable people around here.
