Only person I've ever seen wearing a mask is one of the hairdressers at the haircut place I go to, but she wears it every year around flu season, so it's not that unusual.

Instead of creating immunity the virus can reportedly reinfect an individual and hasten fatal heart attack | 2020-02-14 15:02:00

I was skeptical that the Lockdowns were going to do anything but it seemed like it might have helped. This on the other hand is just way excessive and not going to be helpful. Plus how the hell are they are going restart their economy anytime soon.
tfw you get COVID-19 twiceUh oh

I wonder if it leaves some genetic code behind that triggers that if it comes back in contact with it, it's a pretty strong evolutionary route it went down.
You get sick and survive and it makes you want to leave from the rest of the sick people taking with you whatever stranglers you have still spreading the virus more.
Any other viruses that have this trait?

Hmm. What an absolute bugger of a virus this is.
Grain of salt though.
In the article it says the medications for COVID-19 damages the heart and the virus already damages the lungs, so if you get it again you are already in a weakened state.
Ah it's a side effect of the medication, my bad my dumbass should have read the article. Thank you for clarifying. That's a lot less scary ... by like 1%
Especially when the article doesn't give the sources and its through a doctor told his family member in another country who told the website in another country . It may be right but its a lot of somebody told me that ....
I mean shit I santaize the shit out of my hands after touching a shopping cart regardless of Corona virus. God knows what lives on those things. We already know people don't wash their hands.
It's ok, they have Vicks vapor rub and all kinds of teas.
Also, Japan getting the virus and the Olympics this year reminds me of plague inc. RIP us

“Why do I think 40-70% infected? Simple math models with oversimple assumptions would predict far more than that given the R0 estimates in the 2-3 range (80-90%). Making more realistic assumptions about mixing, perhaps a little help from seasonality, brings the numbers down”

An update regarding the 2nd. Doctor infected in Japan:
I suppose that means the wife is a case of third generation infection (at least).

It seems that one of the taxi drivers diagnosed in Tokyo is the son in law of the elderly lady that unfortunately died a couple of days back.

I couldn't work out if they are counting some of the cases reported yesterday.
Seems they traced the origin point to a party boat on Jan 18th for a new year party for some of the cases. That's a month ago

I don't think any of the published studies of CORVID 19 have been peer reviewed? It's all preprints because the demands of public health are moving faster than the peer review process can accommodate. Which isn't to say the peer reviews aren't necessary to solidify agreement on the soundness of methodology, etc. sometime down the road. Full complete understanding of COVID 19's epidemiology will take years or decades to fully explore.

None of the studies on medrxiv are, but there's been plenty published elsewhere. Lancet have published several studies for instance:
https://www.thelancet.com/coronavirus
Medxriv is a good resource but it's completely open to the public. They mentioned in the latest Virology Today podcast that there's even been some fake studies published on it by conspiracy theorists and trolls which look real to an untrained eye.
Readers need to take this into account. Links to medrxiv should be taken with a large grain of salt by everyone not prepared or able to study the plausibilities of those studies in detail.
There's plenty of work going on in the background, all the way from the front lines of healthcare to the national and international levels. I've personally been involved in writing guidelines for the small primary care clinic I work at. You're not seeing drastic action at this stage because there's simply no convincing signs that engaging in it would do more good than harm.
As far humanitarian assistance, 33 governments and 4 International organisations have already provided medical supplies to China and further 17 governments are willing to send medical supplies to the country.
Even with the scaremongering and the increased racism, it still feels most think of this as an Asian thing and won't affect them. There isn't the worry and personal action to protect themselves that you find in places like HK that have gone through SARS.
Some good news, in the fight against COVID-19
UK's NHS has discharged 8 people out of the 9 confirmed cases of the virus.
https://news.sky.com/story/coronavi...ve-for-virus-has-now-been-discharged-11934646
Bless the NHS, even if it is understaffed, underfunded its still one of the best health care systems in the world

So, as it turns out, this virus can even survive on paper. I wonder about cardboard though.

New virus cases fall; WHO says China bought the world time
China has reported 143 new virus deaths and a dip in new cases while the head of the World Health Organization has praised the country's efforts to contain the disease
abcnews.go.com
The way the numbers have been calculated has changed a few times this week, hasn't it? If so it's really difficult to come to any conclusions about whether it's slowing or accelerating its spread. It seems like every day or two we find out that the virus is more resilient than thought (in terms of temperatures and what surfaces it can survive on).New virus cases fall; WHO says China bought the world time

I want to know what happens if someone who has this virus is then given the common cold. Will the two virus fight each other, possibly allowing the common cold to beat corona?
Massive WHO thread on the outbreak so far.

The gigantic Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona to be held this week was canceled. We were sending a large team, but too many vendors pulled out. A sensible move given the number of Chinese companies that were attending.
