Stop asking so many questions, racism doesn’t need an explanation. Everyone knows that.

btw, if there are any Ashkenazi Jews here.. you are on the short list to qualify for free genetic counseling as it relates to breast cancer.

Can’t remember if you need one additional factor or if that ethnicity is enough.

So if we non-Asians stick to hot toddies, we should be all set. I may be ready to up my prepper game!

Correct.

Once this bug takes off, it won’t matter.

Can’t say that I’ve ever come across a pangolin, even in my somewhat limited zoo visits.

So there’s even less chance in the last few months that I’ve ever snuggled with one, consumed it, or be administered a Chinese “medicine” made from its scales.

(Pangolin: scaled anteater. A current virus theory: bat => pangolin => human)

True. That was poorly phrased. It should have been 'appears to have more impact on the Chinese'.

Well, now that I threw this skunk over the wall, it's fun to see the commotion...

Time will tell. Hopefully, this can be brought under control and suffering will be limited. I truly wish the best for the people of China.

It should be noted that like SARS, this likely came from the habit eating exotic wildlife. A bat or pangolin... time will tell. (Some believe SARS came from a type of Civet Cat)

I read an article during the SARS outbreak about the wild meat market in China. It seems they slaughter all types of wild animals there and at the end of the day, power-wash the sidewalks which atomizes the biological matter into breathable aerosols - a possible origin.

My mom always said, “Boys with blue eyes are liars.”

I don’t know what caused that...but she must have gotten a “good line” from some blonde, blue eyed boy from Vermont.

“Asian males. Different receptors”
..............
There are two basic issues that control lethality.
...........
1. Susceptibility, how available are certain people to this virus?
...........
2. Impairment, when people get sick, how good are their bodies at getting better?
...............
Everyone though, can get sick.
............
Although the sample size is very small for now, researchers have noticed that certain kinds of lung cells are “gateways” for the virus.
...........
Those small minority (about 3%) of lung cells are 3-4 times more prevalent in Asian males than they are in Asian females or male/female whites and blacks. There may be a linkage to blood pressure meds also.
...........
Pack those Asian males together, with some of them being very mobile, bingo, epidemic and possible pandemic.
............
Impairment of self-healing is an issue. Smoking doesn’t appear to be a major factor. Age is, and heart/lung background problems are present in nearly all deaths.
..............
The virus is easily killed outside the host, particularly by air temperature or antiseptic chemicals. Summer is coming. Fumigation is happening.
................
Once the available population is either healed or dead, the virus will disappear. Although it is showing a remarkable ability to mutate.

Stuck in their rooms while the recirculating air goes from room to room. I think that’s how the virus can spread.

I was thinking the same thing. They are sealed in a giant floating can with others that have been exposed and we don't know how a sealed AC system will affect the spread.

Could be a giant floating incubator for all we know.

“Can’t say that I’ve ever come across a pangolin, even in my somewhat limited zoo visits.”

How about a Level-4 Bio-Containment facility (that breaks containment)?

It is my understanding from an article that i have read that genetic makeup of the Asian race makes them 5x more likely to develop the caronavirus once they have been exposed to it.

I have also read this morning that 29% of hospital staff have contracted the virus and another 12% have contracted the virus in the
Wuhan hospital out of 138 sick and being being treated there.

I will try to find that info and share it here.

They are mostly Chinese BECAUSE the virus came from China.

That doesn’t mean people of other races aren’t susceptible to it.

The Chinese on the other hand, are asking why the H1N1 virus was not called a North American virus when it had a worse infection rate and originated in our part of the world...

Check Twitter address @DrEricDing for info i just listed. He has some JAMA article there too you can read.

This time of year our Vitamin D is low and thats part of the reason people get the flu. Add this fsct to all the pollution in China thats blocks out the sunlight and you can see why these folks are dropping like rocks. I seem to remember a picture of large screen televisions in a square showing a rising sun because it could not be seen on the streets of Bejing.

White Americans ont e Princess cruise have it. One American died of it in China, but I don’t know the race.

When I was in central China about this time a year ago, people stared at me (Caucasian) when I walked in the street.

The number of non-Asians in central China is very low.

It’s possible that the air circulation systems have some form of purification built in, perhaps similar to the UV purifiers used in home heating and cooling systems.

I’m sure this isn’t the first time a ship has had to deal with airborne contagions, so perhaps designers have learned to add systems and tools to help control such things.

I don’t have a link and wasn’t familiar with the source so, grain of salt...

But I recall reading from someone claiming to degrees in bio-sciences and active work in the immunology field that suggested what’s going on now in China is due to the SARS vaccine making the population far more susceptible to this new outbreak.
