Is this disease leaving people with unhealable sores? Will this lead to seas and rivers of blood?

Dire coronavirus warnings from Britians 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 30s raises fears it may have ability to kill people with strong immune systems
*Dont 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

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.

You really should add:
“According to Chinese Communist Party official sources”
There are currently 40,134 confirmed cases worldwide, including 904 fatalities.
Look, a steady ~2500 new cases and ~80-90 new deaths/day
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.
Look what I just found:

This being my ninth day of battling this damned flu, I sure hope to be over it before Corona gets loose here in the States or there’ll likely be one less monthly donor for our endless FReepathons.
LOL
