There are currently 2,493 confirmed cases worldwide, including 80 fatalities.
He is giving good basic info about mask, clean hands, and how the virus moves from person to person.
The virus needs to get into a lung to infect a person.
We now know it can infect via eyes.
Eye protection is also needed along with mask.
Wonder how much protection regular eyeglasses provide...
Now that is different then the date this video was publish.
I remember reports of the virus entering the system via the eyes. If this is the case it does not need the lung to get into you.
Not much.
Only from splashing directly in front.
For particulate infection, none at all.
One of the chicom SARS expert doctors who examined the initial cases caught it via eyes.
If HE got it...how many patients subsequent to that consultation did he give it to?
Because the infected can transmit it as early as 2 days post infection.
And how many of these chinese flying back to the western world...are doctors?
Thanks for finding the answer to that. I’ve been wondering too.
Which means those videos of panic in grocery stores in China are really videos of disease transmission.
And that grapefruit at kroger might really kill you.
pretty darn good
about 5 hours to go for the next data set out of Hubei province...will the new rate level off/decrease or continue to increase...if increase look for another market selloff
1-25 23:05: Hubei province reports 292 new cases and 11 new deaths.
1-26 23:05: 371 new cases and 24 new deaths in Hubei province, China. (Source)
That can’t be good.
FYI to all
A Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) is a formal declaration by the World Health Organization (WHO) of “an extraordinary event which is determined to constitute a public health risk to other States through the international spread of disease and to potentially require a coordinated international response”, formulated when a situation arises that is “serious, sudden, unusual or unexpected”, which “carries implications for public health beyond the affected State’s national border” and “may require immediate international action”.[1] Under the 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR), States have a legal duty to respond promptly to a PHEIC.[2]
The declaration is publicized by an Emergency Committee (EC) made up of international experts operating under the IHR (2005),[3] which was developed following the SARS outbreak of 2002/2003.[4] Since 2009, there have been five PHEIC declarations:[5] the 2009 H1N1 (or swine flu) pandemic, the 2014 polio declaration, the 2014 outbreak of Ebola in Western Africa, the 2015–16 Zika virus epidemic[6] and, as of 17 July 2019, the Kivu Ebola epidemic which began in 2018.[7] The recommendations are temporary and require three-monthly reviews.[1]

““The immediate risk to Americans is low at this time.”
He failed to mention this virus is not under control anywhere.
It progresses unabated.
I guess their definition of “low risk” is that you are not sitting next to one of the few infected we have identified so far.
US CDC has repeatedly said they will take their guidance and direction from WHO.
What a friggin’ disgrace this guy is.
AND the below CDC “leadership”.

By saying “low risk” he is basically saying, look man, I want to the surf the web, here’s my quote, now take it and go away.
I am sure there are people here who have Conoravirus but don’t know, think’s it’s the normal every flu bug and are getting better.
“the transmission rate is as high as a whopping 83%! On top of that, the mortality rate is 15% (initial estimates had it at 2-3%)! “
The Lancet didn’t state those percentages, you deduced them.
Nobody publishing in Lancet is making such a claim.
The authors of the study state they were working with a limited subset of early patients.
Whether now better, or now worse than your deduced stats, they are simply useless as a gauge.
