Is this disease leaving people with unhealable sores? Will this lead to seas and rivers of blood?
This is off a Daily Mail story:

“Dire coronavirus warnings from Britian’s top experts”
Leading virologists and infectious disease specialists met at a hastily organized meeting by the respected Science Media Centre in London on Friday amid the escalating outbreak.
They made a series of dire warnings about the disease, including:
*A vaccine will not be ready until at least 2021
*Even if we eradicate the virus in the next few months it could re-emerge in winter
*And outbreak in late 2020 could be devastating for NHS staff juggling winter crises
*The death of a seemingly healthy Chinese doctor in his 30’s raises fears it may have ability to kill people with strong immune systems
*Don’t be fooled by a decrease in confirmed cases in the last few days - this could be a lack of man power and errors in cataloging them in China
*The virus may be spread to babies from pregnant mothers during childbirth
*Cases are at least 10 times higher than the current 31,000 being reported

“*The virus may be spread to babies from pregnant mothers during childbirth”
my bet is the baby could be effected/infected prior to birth.
Great pics, at the DM link you posted.
Many we’ve seen (days ago), but many are newer pics. Good that DM is now getting the news out, that we’ve known HERE, for a while!
Thanks for new thread.

Number of people in serious and critical condition in Hubei province rises to 5,505, up from 5,247 yesterday
In another thread, they reported that if you get it but seemingly recover - you are left with weakened organs which will fail soon:
“... some novel coronavirus cases, patients who developed only moderate symptoms at the onset of the disease later fell seriously ill and died of multiple organ failure.”
Terrifying to me.
Experts find how moderate 2019-nCoV infection ends with death

To help put this in perspective, think of 20 people in your family.
One of them is going to die from this.
There was already both—births with the virus and births without. I would guess it’s spread like HIV, through the birthing process and not in utero.
I was wondering about the possible transmission from the placenta? Could it be a possibility?
Phrase for the year: CYTOKINE STORM.
WUHAN VIRUS/Experts find how moderate 2019-nCoV infection ends with death
Taipei, Feb. 9 (CNA) Experts have blamed a form of systemic inflammatory response syndrome called “cytokine storm” for killing some novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)-infected patients who were not very sick in the early stage of infection but eventually died of multiple organ failure, according to Chinese media reports.
[Like the 1918 Spanish Flu, that killed 50-100 million]

Given that few trust China’s numbers, everyone else’s numbers become more important. Fortunately, those numbers have been encouraging, though I haven’t seen any today.
Not true. A 2% fatality rate means two out of a hundred.
