Did you see the Lancet on the first group? Something like 68% recovered of the first 41.

blueplum ~ It was found that nCoV-2019 is 96% identical at the whole genome level to a bat coronavirus.

South Hawthorne ~ So, are you saying I should stop eating bats? How about I just try to cut down?

Have it well done.

Our full story here: China warns that the spread of the deadly coronavirus will accelerate - the virus is infectious for up to around 14 days during its incubation period (when ppl may show no symptoms), which was not the case with SARS in 2003 https://t.co/cUeelc3KAE— Sue-Lin Wong 黄淑琳 (@suelinwong) January 26, 2020

“Experts from the China CDC have collected 585 samples from the seafood market in Wuhan, where wild animals were traded and where the outbreak was first reported. Of those samples, 33 tested positive for the virus, according to the center.”

“The union that represents two Toronto paramedics who transported Canada’s first presumptive case of the coronavirus to hospital on Saturday say they’re upset they had to hear about the man’s likely diagnosis from the news, but officials say that is standard procedure.”

Were snakes the source of China’s coronavirus outbreak?

Posted by EarthSky Voices in Human World | January 26, 2020

A report suggests that snakes – the Chinese krait and the Chinese cobra – might have been the original source of the coronavirus that’s triggered an outbreak of deadly infectious respiratory illnesses in China this year.

The illness was first reported in late December 2019 in Wuhan, a major city in central China, and has been rapidly spreading. Since then, sick travelers from Wuhan have infected people in China and other countries, including the United States.

Using samples of the virus isolated from patients, scientists in China have determined the genetic code of the virus and used microscopes to photograph it. The pathogen responsible for this pandemic is a new coronavirus. It’s in the same family of viruses as the well-known severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which have killed hundreds of people in the past 17 years. The World Health Organization (WHO) has named the new coronavirus 2019-nCoV.

It's not. As stated elsewhere, the actions of the Chinese government - sudden "transparency" and press conferences - are unprecedented. I, too, believe that is very telling. I also agree that a true pandemic could overwhelm the medical services and cause a ripple effect through supply chains. But relying on preliminary (if not speculative at this juncture) metrics like R0 which is rarely observed in the field and is usually calculated via a mathematical model, and this severely limits its usefulness, isn't helpful.

As said elsewhere, if one has a basic education and common sense, it is normal to be concerned. But concern shouldn't turn to hysteria and speculation whereby people short the market. Btw, the quarterly GDP issue is part of a broader concern about China's fundamentals. The govt DOES care about capital flight and so, yea, actually they DO care about bad economic press.

Futures markets or any market opening is strong-form efficient, but not necessarily accurate. We will see where this lands.

68% is great. 32% not recovered is a tad bit concerning..:-)

Hope they know what they're doing.

They do.

They imported active Ebola patients, they did nothing about plague in San Fransisco's China Town, they closed immigrant screening at Ellis Island, They've thrown open our borders, they import jihadis as fast as they can, they create sanctuary cities, they release violent felons, they refuse to cooperate with ICE, and they allow their streets to be overrun with rats and to be covered in poop and needles.

They know exactly what they are doing.

Isn’t this level of immediate public disclosure something to see?

I’m getting more, not less suspicious.

The market will respond tomorrow. If ever there was a front runner on fear it’s the market. I think the market is waiting for a reason to puke 10% in a couple of weeks.

I have no idea what kinds of factories are in the area. If there are any chip factories, we will see it tomorrow.

I bought some August Vix earlier last week. Not a life changing amount—just enough to have fun. I think I will be watching with a smile on my face tomorrow morning. If not....I have a couple of months to watch.
