Coronavirus (non political)

We've been studying the flu for decades,this is new and we dont even know where it started,and the way the symptoms dont show themselves till after you could have already spread it to other people,it seems pretty scary to me.
China is not being transparent and theyre some lying mofos anyway.Personally I think this thing escaped from their lab in Wuhan somehow

Always best to stick with what the experts are saying

What we know so far about the 2019 novel coronavirus (https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/prevention-and-screening-articles/wuhan-coronavirus)

Where and how did COVID-19 begin?

We learned about this particular virus shortly after a cluster of severe pneumonia cases were reported on New Year’s Eve 2019 in Wuhan, which is in the Hubei Province of China. On January 9, virologists and other public health researchers identified the strain as a novel coronavirus, which was tied to a specific “wet market” in the city of Wuhan, where they sell fish and other live animals.

These markets have been known to transmit viruses before. For cultural reasons in the region, people want to see the specific animals they’re buying be slaughtered in front of them, so they know they’re receiving the products they paid for. As a result, particles of infectious viruses or bacteria can be aerosolized and, in rare instances, jump from animals to people. It’s how SARS, another coronavirus, started in 2003.

So this has happened before and yet they continue to put themselves and the others at risk? Fuck China

You won't hear a right-leaner say this very often, but the government regulation we have in place with the FDA is of critical importance to public health. China just does not give a F about such things.

agree. FDA does a lot of things right. You would think some type of quality control or basic standards would be enforced to avoid these issues.



WOW...oil just crashed

I wonder how many people have had the virus and didn't even know?

33 states and Washington D.C. have confirmed cases, two more today, and the death toll rising to 21 victims in the United States.

As the coronavirus gained a foothold in the United States, thousands of employees from Seattle to Silicon Valley were told to work from home. Public school districts in several states have shut down, universities are moving classes to online only, and even churches are limiting services or prayer meetings. A global health conference in Orlando, Florida, planned for Monday, which President Donald Trump was supposed to address, will no longer happen.

Off the California coast, another cruise ship with infected passengers is waiting for a place to dock. The State Department on Sunday advised Americans, especially those with underlying health conditions, not to travel on cruise ships.

As the coronavirus spread to two-thirds of the states, Americans began to grasp the magnitude of the threat facing them. The weekend’s case tally ballooned, veering toward nearly 600 cases and close to 20 deaths.

The head of the Port Authority — who has been visiting local airports — has the coronavirus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday, as the state’s infection toll rose by 37, to 142 patients.

Cuomo said he himself “could have been in contact” with infected PA executive director Rick Cotton but hasn’t been tested because he’s an “improbable positive,” meaning he isn’t likely to have the virus.

The governor didn’t say how Cotton may have contracted the potentially deadly bug but noted that the executive director “has been at the airports, obviously, when many people were coming back with the virus.”

Cuomo specifically mentioned JFK Airport in Queens.

id say there its a good chance healthy folks have had it and thought it was a cold or mild case of flu especially if they got the flu shot.

The media's coverage and how they are handling this is once again a black eye on the industry. Also, shout out to the young white privilege elites with a degree on twitter/facebook who don't work in the health industry, claim they are into science/scientist or have entrepreneur as their occupation putting together "best guess maps of infection stats, mortality rate, total deaths" and spreading it far and wide...clearly fake news. it reminds me of the internet sleuths who compiling their own Mueller investigation....Where they had already found Trump guilty and worked backwards to connect the dots. brilliant folks in their own mind.

All I know is that I don't want my 84 year old mother going to major social events right now, and that she loves social events :(

The way your Grandma rolls, she needs to worry more about STDs than Wutang Virus
