As if we didn’t know it’s worse than China has reported, this just reinforces that idea.

China Arrested Doctors Who Warned About Coronavirus Outbreak. Now Death Toll’s Rising, Stocks Are Plunging.

Stocks don't seem to care right now.

Stocks don't seem to care right now.

They shouldn't. A butterfly could fart and stocks would overreact.

It's a rapid identification kit, like they have for influenza A. Polymerase chain reaction is what it stands for.

For clarification: PCR is a laboratory method for amplifying DNA. It can be used replicate viral material in order to make it detectable. Hospital labs now often have the ability to perform this type of testing with a quick turnaround.

However, the rapid "kits" used in most outpatient settings/clinics do not use PCR. They are basically dyed-antibody tests, which have a lower sensitivity, as they require a decent amount of the virus in question to be present in the sample.

So, China’s experts say survivability of around 5 days under certain circumstances and other experts say no. Does anyone know for sure? What would be, as noted by the Chinese, the certain circumstances needed for the virus to survive on an object for an extended period? Is that perfect environment out there, is it an uncommon occurrence or commonly found?

Conflicting information that proves how very little the world knows about this virus at this point in time and continues to makes me say hmmmmm

No, You Won't Catch The New Coronavirus Via Packages Or Mail From China

The Coronavirus is man made and the story of it coming from bats is bullshiit

The Coronavirus is man made and the story of it coming from bats is bullshiit

I’m strongly leaning towards man made manipulation from a bat coronavirus. I’m still on the fence about if it’s an accidental escape during normal coronavirus vaccine research or an escaped bio-weapon that was in early testing.

Common sense would say you need protection for your own people in place before even creating a bio-weapon. Then I remind myself it is the CCP after all is said and done and they’ve never given a damn.

Time will tell as more becomes known outside the CCP concerning this virus.

Quick question, do you test for rsv year round?

China compared Israel’s coronavirus border closure to the Holocaust

China’s acting ambassador to Israel Dai Yuming said during a briefingyesterday in Tel Aviv, “Millions of Jewish were killed, and many, many Jewish were refused when they tried to seek assistance from other countries. Only very, very few countries opened their door, and among them is China,” according to Australian broadcaster SBS.

China was so brave to take Jews during WWII, running the risk the entire country would catch the Jew virus.

China wasnt even the same China back then. Taiwan has got an argument but not China. And I think the Japanese already held half of China at that point.

Scientists say the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak could soon be declared a pandemic. Here's what that means.

Add multiple strains and the unknown rate of mutation to the fact that you can be reinfected and catch it again and you’ve got a nasty mofo of an unknown bug on a worldwide walkabout.

Coronavirus may transmit through digestive tract, report finds

I know this info was posted earlier but PSA:

Hey you nasty ****s, wash your damn hands! That applies to everyone.

On public facets with handles, you turn it on with your dirty hands and most turn it back off with clean hands. I always use my drying towel to turn the water off..lol

Coronavirus: Chinese health experts warn patients can get reinfected

That's what made the Spanish Flu a real killer. There was a 2nd round that was a lot deadlier than the first.


NIH doctor says 25% of coronavirus cases in China are 'very serious,' requiring 'intensive care'

“About 25% of them have very serious disease, requiring relatively intensive or really intensive care,” said the director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

“It’s escalating,” Fauci said on “Squawk on the Street.” “The number of cases that increase from one day to another is clearly going up in a very steep slope.”
There are many health-care professionals and analysts, including Fauci, who believe the number of coronavirus cases to be much higher.



“There are probably a lot more people who were infected in China who have not been really counted ... because they were either asymptomatic or their symptoms were so light that they didn’t come to the attention of health authorities,” Fauci said. “The number is probably much larger.”

This is the scary thing. You could have infected people who left China but did not really get very sick, so they have not sought treatment, have not been identified, and therefore are out there spreading it unknowingly. Next thing you known that one person infected 4 others, who infected 16 others, who infected 200, who infected 1,000...

Anybody seen an estimate of the number of Chinese Americans that went over for the Chinese New year?

So I read Thailand has first confirmed case by a person who has not been to China. He is a taxi driver......my goodness...the idea that you can get this back in the bottle is insane.
