I believe they are closed down, for the time being.

Someone posted on an earlier thread that a coronavirus carrier in North Korea was treated with a “lead” injection, and was put out of their misery!

“Is this part of the democratic hoax? /s”

It’s broader than that. Trump’s in on it and going along with it so I’m told (on FR), because “that’s how he plays the game”.

Sound like cicadas. 7 year, 11, 21 l... occasionally you get all 3 in the same year. This year we already have two flu strains killing people and we are somehow functioning. Now maybe we get a third flu strain.

Flu has become like “severe” weather. Every minor storm has a name and could results in catastrophic damages and deaths. Now we are going tto have every new flu strain hyped as the end of the world that only the IS Federal government can prevent. Chicken Little, Boy Crying Wolf../

If you stop testing the disease goes away.

Easy peasy!

I never suggested the Federal Government could cure it. I am certainly not holding my hand on my ass waiting for them to come to the rescue.

This is a variation of a virus. It could be normal, it could be otherwise.

But to dismiss it it as frivolous could be dangerous.

And more than 2931 probably have it, with a mild form and not reported, and that would bring the true mortality rate lower.

All flu viruses are variations of a virus. What the heck is a normal virus?

This seems to be a mild virus is that normal or a variation?

yes-you have a better chance of being struck by lighting in S Korea, the 2019-nCoV is NOT more contagious and spreading faster than any other pathogen and actually less than common ones like measels
see https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2020/02/02/coronavirus-here-are-10-misconceptions-being-spread/#187f88da2840

the mainstream media and some alarmist who like the distraction of a good disaster story are fanning fear

Don’t listen to the fear mongers-, just know many people love getting ratings and attention fanning fear and refuse to report any offsetting positive news.

6 of the original 15 people who had coronavirus in US have already been sent home fine already-AOK

In Thailand they are having great success treating Coronavirus with existing HIV and flu drugs-(made by US companies) cured in 48 hours-including seniors, and this Asian country with its proximity to China has had less than 100 cases.

most people with Coronavirus recover without any help
Apple Corporation just reported factories reopening in China, Starbucks reopening all stores in China because cases are contained and slowing

there are 20 companies working on a vaccine, In Jerusalem Post Israeli scientists: ‘In a few weeks, we will have coronavirus vaccine’, . Moderna is US already has one and is being expedited for testing

HHS is working with Regeneron,symbol Regn, this is the company that shut down ebola. Trials will be expedited by CDC /HHS and executive order.

Just think: 100 people in US die each day from autos-are you going to stop driving? Fear gives mainstream media ratings and some individuals attention-and helps create an economic panic to defeat Trump.

Are you of the opinion that the Coronavirus, is actually a massive global plot to embarrass Donald Trump?

Seriously?

As of 18:03 02/28/2020

These numbers include Mainland China and All Others globally

85,176 declared cases
02,919 declared deceased
39,426 declared recovered

The current mortality rate of deceased / deceased + recovered = 6.89%.
That is a fluid number that is now dropping at the rate of about 0.61% per day.
However, due to the few "HOT" nations outside China right now, it appears
today's drop in mortality rate may be more like 37.5% - 42.5%.

42,345 cases have been declared resolved, and that represents 49.715%
of all declared cases to date. (resolved = deceased or recovered)

As of this post, the active cases have dropped by 1,109 cases today.
This has been taking place for nearly a week, and the drop has been growing.
It may not continue, if cases outside China mushroom. There are now 42,831
active cases. That is 15,978 cases fewer than the highest count of active
cases at 15:13 PST on 02/17/2020. That figure was 58,809.

Yesteday's recovered figure for the one day, was 3,721. Today we're on a
path to hit 2,900.

The big days of China's declared cases are now over two weeks past. Look
for one day recovered numbers to drop off until the global community's large
declared cases become ripe, and people start being declared well there.

The numbers seem to indicate that the decline of active global cases will
probably end in 3-6 days. From that point on the number of active cases will
be growing again.

These numbers address the cases outside of Mainland China.

At this point only 6.95% of all declared cases exist outside Mainland China.
Three days ago, that figure was 3.62%. At the end of the day yesterday,
that figure was 5.48%.

5,915 declared cases
0,084 declared deceased
0,498 declared recovered

The current mortality rate of deceased / deceased + recovered is 14.43%.
That figure is grosely high, and should not be used for purposes of
extrapolation of what lies ahead. It takes several weeks for people to
be infected, and recover. As in the large body of cases above, this
mortality rate is declining, and will pick up speed at the two week mark
of our largest daily declared infections outside China.

582 cases have been declared resolved, and that represents 9.84% of the
cases declared outside of Mainland China.

There are now 5,333 active cases outside of China.

The number of declared cases has grown by 29.52% so far today or 1,348
cases.

There are now 60 nations declaring cases within their borders. 1+

Four nations or entities of the 59 nations or entities outside of China
account for over 80% of all active cases outside China at this time.

2,931 49.55% South Korea
0,803 15.83% Italy
0,705 11.92% Diamond Princess Cruise Ship
0,388 06.56% Iran

83.86% of all cases ourside of China...

This information was worked up from my database of Johns Hopkins
University numbers that they provided over the last month.

If you wish to see the basis for these findings, click on a link to the data
files I have provided on the forum.

Wow you spent a lot of time on your post.

How about let those who want to be concerned be concerned and prepare?

President seems to be taking this seriously, and so am I.

This is many times more contagious, lasts longer, has more significant impacts on major organ systems and is many times more fatal than the “normal” flu.

If you don’t want to believe that, it’s OK.

This thing has the potential to gum up the works for several months.

I wonder how many of the families of those kids in that Oregon school felt as you? They aren’t sick, but their lives are quite disrupted.

But, it’s probably nothing.

Yeah I see all the US casualties piling up. The Oregon kids are suffering from ACD. Adult Corona Derangement. The only disruptions are from the fear of Corona.

But somehow this has not resulted in mass hysteria:

“While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.”
https://www.cdc.gov › flu › about

Can you name the year, since 2010, that had 61,000 deaths? Did you worry the about the disrupted lives of children who did not get sick?

Absolutely not. Just poking a little fun at the Rube-Goldberg machine theories I keep seeing.

You’re welcome. Thank you.

Correction:

Should have read:

The current mortality rate of deceased / deceased + recovered = 6.89%.
That is a fluid number that is now dropping at the rate of about 0.61% per day.
However, due to the few “HOT” nations outside China right now, it appears
today’s drop in mortality rate may be more like 0.375% - 0.425%.

at least half of all coronavirus cases in south korea
arose from a single source: the cult-like Shincheonji Church of Jesus that has over 200,000 members:
