The coronavirus could be up to 1,000 times more infectious than SARS because it plagues the body in the same way as HIV and Ebola, scientists warn.
Experts initially presumed the spread of COVID-19 would follow the same trajectory as the SARS outbreak in 2002/3, because the viruses are almost identical genetically.

That stopped mattering here about a week and a half ago.
All that matters is we respond like frightened little girls :)
We were at the airport ,in Boston, yesterday. There were lots of hand sanitizers and Clorox wipes ay all of the shops.
I get your point, but airborne and surface transmission is a whole different thing than bodily fluid transmission.
“We ALL gotta die of sumthin’...” - Jocelyn Elders, Surgeon General Clinton Administration.................
Hmmm. I wouldn’t put it past them to deal with 1.5 billion and growing population woes by decimating them. Watch the documentary on their ‘one-child’ policy.
But this was either some idiot selling animals they used in testing or (more likely) catching it during testing and then spreading it.
They aren’t going to admit it was their fault. So the global propaganda denouncing Sen. Tom Cotton for promoting ‘conspiracy theories.’
It’s also starting to kill off people at the top leadership of Iran and China’s own cyberhacking division. Had they the cure, you’d think they’d have used it by now or at least vaccinated those in important party jobs.
Notice how scared our media is even of people asking questions about the origins. Tells you who owns them.
Geneva Auto Show Cancelled
BREAKING !!!
HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS DEAD IN CHINA
Folks need to relax.... A lot of fear and misinformation being repeated and spread.
We do not have accurate reproductive rates, or death rates.
The Drastic difference between just what has been reported inside wuhan and outside wuhan, let alone inside and outside china do not a pandemic make.
I'm putting my house up for sale, buying gold and moving to an island.
Smart money says Trump and crew knows the street address and the names of the staff at the facility, and where they get their funding and direction.
I’ve been wondering what this will do to the Bay Area housing prices. Perhaps there will be an even greater flood of Chinese people getting their money out of China and buying property, driving prices up. Maybe the stock market crash and upcoming recession will cause people to stop buying and drive prices down.
The future seems murky.
I hope you’re right.
I think we’re looking at 8-10 million dead if it hits all of China, India, the Middle East, and Africa. 3.53% kill rate, according to Forbes article out today.
Hawaii just canceled all flights with South Korea. Eventually, we’ll have to close all our borders.
Shows Trump was right! We do need that wall.

This suspicion crossed my mind yesterday when I read that Deborah Birx ‘Global Aids Coordinator’ was named as the corona response coordinator.
May mean something - or nothing. “Could be”... isn’t a scientific assessment.
LOL. Who knew that Joe was hanging around here?
No way. They’re lying.
It’s a million times more infectious!
(Wow, I am way behind on my panic.)
“The coronavirus could be up to 1,000 times more infectious than SARS because it plagues the body in the same way as HIV and Ebola, scientists warn.”
That’s just nonsense. Meaningless gibberish.
“Experts initially presumed the spread of COVID-19 would follow the same trajectory as the SARS outbreak in 2002/3, because the viruses are almost identical genetically.”
True but only at the very start. Shortly thereafter it was determined that SARS was more incapacitating and lethal which meant that Wuhan virus would spread wider than SARS did.
Tom Clancy: Rainbow Six Shiva virus.
because notifying admin and/or Jim is how to get it CORRECTED instead of just pulled.
I believe the markets are not reacting as much to what is happening in China. I think people started to get uneasy when cases exploded in S. Korea, and really were concerned with the outbreak from Italy that has seeded throughout Europe.
I’m still 100% for President Trump. I think he needs to work on his messaging. People will feel better with specifics of what they are doing in terms of testing, tracing, etc.
Perhaps they aren't just employing scare tactics, but seriously, if it isn't then it will wreak devastation until a cure is developed and and sufficient quantities are produced.
Generating hysteria when there are still so many unknowns, only creates hysteria and misinformation to spread faster than the virus itself.
Now if everyone who contracted the virus died, it would be far more serious, but that isn't the case.
At this point all we can do is wait and see what the realities really are. Speculation is the worse thing we can do right now for it does nothing positive, but it does produce a lot of negatives for sure.
