A 32-year-old Thailand national, suspected to be suffering from Coronavirus, died in a private hospital in Kolkata on Monday. She left Thailand in late November and also visited Nepal before coming to India.
Let’s all hope this isn’t true.

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...

From what I recall when the H-1 N-1 virus made its round in 2009 also know as the swine flu virus some one suggested here on FR to use NAC or N-Acetyl Cysteine and to make it work even better along with a healthy dose of buffered C. I have a hunch who ever this person was he may have been associated with the medical profession. I have been taking it ever since with good results as NAC is also a precursor to glutathione one of the most potent anti-oxidants and beneficial for a host conditions. But my main question is will it also be beneficial against this new virus which is circulating? No doubt that there may be a knowledgeable Freeper with a medical background amongst th readers who may possible be able to shed some light on this question. As for myself I do believe that a healthy dose of NAC in combination with buffered ascorbic acid ( C ) certainly can not hurt
Poop, meet fan.
Add me to the ping list please. And was anything posted about the hss or cdc briefing this morning?
