I think President Trump should appoint Chuck Schumer to oversee the coronavirus outbreak.

It would be interesting to know the age and health condition of most of the deaths

you'll find that info in studies and published discussions linked by FReepers on prior threads

Or they just decided it is a weapon they are going to use.

Quite a veiled threat at the CNN link:

“Americans and our enemies have wanted to halt our production and economic activities in this two-year period now with their sanctions and propaganda.”

He said Iran cannot allow the US to stop the country’s social activities through the fear of the virus, adding, “Americans better take care of thousands of flu casualties in their own country,” according to Mehr.

The reason it is spreading so heavily in Asia is it started in Asia and was spreading there at least a month before they detected it. Western countries have barely started testing, but when they do they do they find a lot of cases. Some have tested positive postmortem. Italy, Iran and the Middle East should have answered the question of whether this in an Asian disease.

The study you listed only had 8 samples, including 1 Asian who smoked.

Here is a bigger study of SARSCov2 that includes different races, and they found race does not play a role but tobacco use was the main difference.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.05.20020107v2

Putting those two together I think that air quality and tobacco could possibly have more effect on severity of this disease.

As Dr. Ian Mackay (Australian virologist) points out that HCoV-NL63 also uses the ACE2 receptor, but it had a worldwide distribution but affected caucasian children the worst.

I guess my point is, we really won’t know how this virus behaves until it is endemic in the west and begins to overwhelm healthcare like it did in China and Iran.

Rice and beans cost next to nothing. Agree on the carb issue. I’m miserable with too many, however with an emergency it’s the better option.

Kuwait has banned foreign ships from departing to or arriving from South Korea, Italy, Thailand, Singapore, Japan, China, Hong Kong, and Iraq. Oil sector ships are excluded from this ban.

Pakistan has closed its border with Iran.

There are now over 1,200 cases across South Korea.

18 South Korean soldiers have been infected.

The US and South Korea are expected to announce that a joint military exercise has been scaled back because of the virus.

Dubai airport in the United Arab Emirates will stop flights to and from Iran, except for the capital Tehran.

Here is a huge repository on this disease so far:
https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/-2019-ncov-new-coronavirus/-2019-ncov-studies-research-academia

Be discerning as some are from China and are not peer reviewed. Several have said China did not register children’s deaths, which could skew their numbers.

FOX is unwatchable and has been since the debates started. All they have been reporting is reruns of CNN (!) and stumping for the DNC 24/7. You can’t channel surf without landing on FOX where it’s Bernie, Bernie, Bernie. Disgusting. Apparently there’s no news happening anywhere in the world outside the demonrat debates.

Also, China quit adding flu sequences to Genbank in January; that has really handicapped the international community in studying the disease.

Infowars is doing a better job of reporting news than FOX is with their nonstop reruns of CNN and the debates. Bernie, Bernie, Bernie 24/7.

Walmart also has their Equate brand, in 600 mg.

Not at 88¢, but still less than named brand.

Deep state wants Trump out. They think tanking the economy is the best way to do it.

Their religion, and Freepers know this as well as any, includes communist-derived ideas like using a crisis to get power.

France - more on that case:

Coronavirus: a second patient died in Paris, announces the Ministry of Health
Three new cases, including the man who died on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, were detected in France. The death is the first of a Frenchman since the start of the epidemic, after the death of an 80-year-old Chinese man in mid-February in Paris.
Le Monde avec AFP Posted today at 03h15, updated at 13h01

Three new cases of coronavirus have been detected in France, one of which died on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday in Paris, the ministry of health announced on Wednesday 26 February. The death is the first of a Frenchman since the start of the epidemic, after the death of an 80-year-old Chinese man in mid-February in Paris.

The man who died in the night, a 60-year-old Oise teacher, had been “tested in emergency yesterday [Tuesday] at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital in a very serious state and died during the night”, announced the Director General of Health, Jérôme Salomon. “The investigation was launched urgently” into the place where this patient may have been infected and his entourage, he added. The mayor of his commune assured the Parisian that he did not come “from Italy or China”.

Including this dead patient, five new cases were confirmed in France between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. For the time being, the death toll in France is two dead, eleven recoveries and four patients still hospitalized, or seventeen cases in total.

And SARS and MERV were originally outbreaks in homogeneous racial regions.. china and saudia arabia..Europe and America are now experiencing this microbial invasion and it remains to be seen if the fatal outcome infections will remain concentrated in the supposedly more susceptible populations..ie fatal outbreaks more numerous in Chinatown over inglewood..The formerly caucasian regions of the world are now uniquely multi racial as compared to every other geographical region and thus a practical demonstration of infection outcome generalization can be realized..
