There are currently 1,764 confirmed cases worldwide, including 54 fatalities.
Some scientists think it could be. Droplet and airborne. Sars was airborne.
Very concerning new data from China CDC suggesting the #coronarvirus has “higher pandemic risk than SARS”. More details here: https://t.co/ygaf5qcdrc https://t.co/sD6rUJBgDp— Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding (@DrEricDing) January 26, 2020
And probably a zoo there as well.
Been hanging out with them on twitter.
Is Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding a good trusted source?
Unreal...
“The CEO of AstraZeneca told CNBC the coronavirus outbreak in China “looks like it’s contained.”
Christoph Franz, chairman of Roche, said the mortality rate for coronavirus was relatively low compared to other viruses.
World Health Organization officials will convene on Wednesday to determine whether the outbreak should be declared an international health emergency.”
So he has the creds, anyway.
Also read Post #566 this thread.
U.S. CDC has no “clear evidence” to confirm coronavirus can be spread during the incubation period, but says they’re “actively investigating that possibility”
“Passengers on a Southwest Airlines flight in Las Vegas wore masks over their mouths as another traveler was escorted off the plane after showing flu-like symptoms.
The airline confirmed to Fox News that while the move was made out of “an abundance of caution,” it was also made “in light of recent concerns for the coronavirus.” The ill passenger had reportedly recently traveled to Beijing”

no “clear evidence” is different from “no evidence” I suppose.
“You do not have a RIGHT to see it any earlier than anyone else.”
Their paramount objective right now is to ensure they are not forced to declare a pandemic. And to avoid panic.
#武漢 五院一小時死70多，某醫院兩個科室的醫生護士三小時內死光了。
This post says someone working in a hospital in #Wuhan said that all the doctors and nurses of two departments died within 3 hours, and that over 70 died within one hour in No. 5 hospital last night. #coronarovirus pic.twitter.com/CbBF3HCx9A— 曾錚 Jennifer Zeng (@jenniferatntd) January 26, 2020
“A fifth U.S. case of coronavirus was confirmed on Sunday in Maricopa County, Arizona, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The patient is reportedly a student at Arizona State University, but does not live in university housing, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). The Maricopa County Department of Public Health and ADHS said they are currently investigating “to identify any close contacts that may have been exposed while the person was infectious,” adding that “Any individuals who have been identified as having been exposed will be contacted directly. These individuals will be monitored for fever and respiratory symptoms in collaboration with public health and the university.”

Somewhere on fr I posted a standard Ro of 2.6 graph this morning. Things are gonna really explode soon.
I pray this report is fake... Right out of a sci-fi horror movie.
Don’t worry, they are going to meet WEDNESDAY, not like there is any urgency or anything (rolleyes). Meanwhile the millions who left Wuhan before quarantine are seeding it worldwide.
If this thing hits my area, I’m staying home and riding it out. If I get it, I’m alone, but I don’t care. If I have it, I can help out other people who have it with no worries, depending on my strength. It would be insane to go to the hospital.
Also, as they say, if you really want to get truly sick, just go to the hospital. :-D
Good post except one of them is an ND and epidemiologist.
Too bad Baghdad Bob is dead. He would have an instant job.
