Indian scientists have just found HIV (AIDS) virus-like insertions in the 2019-nCov virus

Oh my god. Indian scientists have just found HIV (AIDS) virus-like insertions in the 2019-nCov virus that are not found in any other coronavirus. They hint at the possibility that this Chinese virus was designed ["not fortuitous']. Scary if true. https://biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.30.927871v1.full.pdf

Maybe some bats were engaging in buggery.

You know, I always *was* a little suspicious of a middle-aged man with a troubled past, who liked to play dress-up with masks, tights, and a cape with a teenaged boy, which included sliding down poles to a secret cave.

But maybe that's just, like, my opinion.

No. It's killing about 15% of those who go into the ICU.

That's according to the Centers for Disease Control. Overall fatality is estimated at about 2%.

No I don’t.

But in an earlier life I was a retrovirologist, and I still have a fairly good idea about what is possible and what is not.

It is killing somewhere between 50-66% of those infected with severe symptoms or hospitalized.

-------------------------------------

How many have weak or no symptoms is entirely unknown.

What a surprise. Top Secret Chinese biowarfare plant splicing specific genes into a known virus.

They have inserted DNA trait characteristics into the virus for blue eyes, blond hair and big boobs.

Well that is a valid point. There could be a lot of people who are not suffering badly and therefore do not get identified formally as having the virus.

I haven’t seen anywhere how long it takes to recover from this virus, ...anyone know?

Well, if they still have to wear a mask after they recovered, they should really be listed as not dead yet, perhaps.

” I imagine the Left will deny the possibility of Intelligent Design and insist that this thing just randomly happened. “

Can they do that w/o “impugning” those who spread AIDS? Picture this, a guy with AIDS gets a Flu-like virus and it merges with his AIDS and becomes a super-killer bug.....

No. Figures from today (Chinese - likely way underreported) show, at this point, a 40% mortality rate: deaths vs. recoveries.

Not ICU - just diagnosed and recovered or died.

Almost all, or all, of this group received hospital care at one level or another.

Once the medical system is overwhelmed, which happens very quickly even in first world countries, the rate will go up. A lot.

40% means some healthy adults are dying in addition to old and young.

This isn’t the flipping flu. Doesn’t appear to be a weaponized virus but does appear to be a research virus.

Trumps travel ban may have been enough to keep it out of wild in the US.

Coronavirus: Japan quarantines cruise ship after passenger tests positive
Share

Follow the latest updates of the outbreak on our timeline.

Japanese health authorities have quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship after a passenger tested positive for the coronavirus in Hong Kong, China.

The epidemic has begun in the central Chinese city of Wuhan has so far killed 427 and infected 20,623 people.

The passenger started his journey from Yokahoma, Japan, on 20 January and left the ship in Hong Kong on 25 January.

The passenger, an 80-year-old man, tested positive for the coronavirus in Hong Kong six days later.

Japanese health officials are conducting a full review of all the crew and guests. Princess Cruises said the delay might last up to 24 hours.

Operated by Carnival Japan, the ship is currently on a 14-day round trip journey. The Diamond Princess ship has 1,045 crew and 2,666 passengers on board.

In a statement, Princess Cruises said: “The safety, security and well-being of all guests and crew is our absolute priority.

“The review of the arriving guests and crew by Japanese health authorities is standard practice after a guest tested positive for coronavirus and we are working closely with the local authorities to provide detailed records to facilitate their review.”

Japan has announced 20 confirmed cases of the coronavirus with no deaths so far.

Yesterday, Saint Lucia and Dominica denied entry of the cruise ship AIDAperla into their shores as they were carrying a large number of sick passengers on board.

Last month, approximately 6,000 passengers onboard Carnival Corporation’s Costa Smeralda were allowed to leave the ship after a Chinese passenger tested negative for coronavirus.

The ship was initially quarantined at Italy’s Civitavecchia port.

= = = = = = = = = = = =

MY notes:

1) the index case left the ship on 25 January.
2) ships don’t have wet markets of exotic animals or Level-4 biohazard labs onboard.
3) other patients (10 at last count) are positive, NINE days after the index case left the ship
4) tell me where else a bunch of patients on board a CRUISE ship would’ve picked it up
(”tell her what ELSE you picked up in the Navy”)
5) H2H in a public, non-intimate setting *confirmed*

Prep now. Prepare to shelter in place for 2 months.
