Thanks for the update. BTT.

What’s an important number is how many are dying in Western countries once they get the virus

[dangus]

2% death rate. Compares to .05% death rate for the current flu. 40 times deadlier.

US deaths from flu: 8,000
US deaths from Coronavirus: 0
Worldwide deaths from Coronavirus: 130

OUTSTANDING post. Thanks. More information...

Condolences to the Chinese and anyone worldwide affected by this.

WHO let the germs out...

Sorry. In stressful thoughts my mind defaults to music many times.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[StAnDeliver]

2.3% , not nearly high enough to burn itself out quickly. Damn.

[kaehurowing]

I notice my spam emails have gone WAY down in the past 24 hours—I wonder if that means most of them are actually being generated in China?

[Varsity Flight]

Basketball cancelled at Miami University Ohio tonight. Who flying and already here from China may have tickets to the Super Bowl?

He even include herbs for cytokine interruption.

2019-nCoV did not arise from a simple mutation in an existing corona virus. Almost half of the RNA in 2019-nCoV has NO genetic linkage to any other corona virus. This includes the middle region where half of the genomic spike encoding a multifunction protein responsible for virus entry into host cells has no linkage to any other corona virus.

Unlike other corona viruses that infect the mucosal membranes of the nasal passages, 2019-nCoV infects the simple squamous epithelium in the lungs.

The data suggest that 2019-nCoV is a manmade combination of a corona virus from bats (which causes cold and flu symptoms) with a blood borne pneumonia virus from a mammal other than humans (which causes the bloody pneumonia that kills the host). The corona virus provides the pathway for the lethal pneumonia virus to enter a human host.
