Corona Virus Updates Part 2

a reply to: Adphil28

I've been thinking about the illegals who have been arriving by boat and truck to the Uk over last few months... what if one or two of them have it?

Remember reading about those dead chinese who were found in the back of that truck in Kent... I think that was November time... I mean how many are travelling around with this thing?

Any case, I think our borders are shoddy and easy targets, infected or not.

looks like its getting worse on the ship in yokohama

This is basically a sick experiment and on a demographic that is highly likely to suffer more than most. They should have been evacuated and placed in proper quarantine immediately.

I agree that this bad practice what's been done on the ship. From 6 to 174 when it could of just stayed at 6.

I'd forgotten about them! Thank you for the reminder!

This is why we will never know the true numbers. Sad video.

Two more Britons test positive for coronavirus on quarantined cruise ship in Japan as number of cases on board rises to 174

www.dailymail.co.uk...

Two more Britons have tested positive for coronavirus on a quarantined cruise ship in Japan as the number of cases on board jumped to 174. The two Britons were among 39 new cases confirmed today as passengers on the Diamond Princess face a second week in quarantine in Yokohama. It takes the number of British cases on board to three, after honeymooner Alan Steele was hauled off the vessel and taken to hospital on the mainland on Friday.

In recent days, testing has expanded to 492 people, mostly those showing symptoms or who have had close contact with a confirmed positive case. Of those 492 people, 174 have tested positive so far. 'Currently we have the capacity to conduct up to 300 tests per day, but we are working... so that by the last day of the incubation period, February 18, we will be able to test up to 1,000,' government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said. The ship is due to remain in quarantine until February 19, and authorities do not expect the new cases to change that timeline. However, newly confirmed patients could face a further two weeks in quarantine starting from when they tested positive.

Tomorrow around 10 am we'll find out more of the conditions of the passengers. The testing is moving faster, but the virus has been moving rapidly as explained by one of the Japanese military doctors on board.

Slowly edging the threat level up so as not to worry people.

“ The risk to the UK public posed by the new coronavirus has been raised from low to moderate by chief medical officers, although they stress the risk to individuals remains low.”

Think that’s why France cleared out the camps again last month in calis, but since then they’ve caught a few boats making the crossing, and that’s assuming they manage to stop all and didn’t miss one somewhere else or on a ferry etc, at least the U.K. has a fairly decent water border,
the eu is nothing , having said that Germany were doing a massive border check Operation the past week or so there’s a visible up tick in checks here now.

So they state that they can test 300 a day, then say that they have tested 492. So what did they start a day and a half ago? No evidently not. They will be able to test 1000 a day in the future, a day before the quarantine is lifted.

Literally none of this makes sense.

For those that say we should be seeing large numbers now I will try to explain why this would not be evident yet.

Take for (a very rough) example UK

As of 24th of Jan, they were trying to trace 2000 travellers from Wuhan.
www.bbc.co.uk...

Lets say just 0.5% were infected.

Ummm... you spent a lot of time explaining something based on an arbitrary date of Jan 24th. Why? As I said, and I'll repeat...

This has been in the wild for months, since at least early to mid December, if not as early as a month or even two (October) earlier.

So your timeline is totally bogus.

With that many deaths, there would be a whole lot of empty houses. The economy as we know it wouldn't exist. I'm pretty sure anarchy would rule, for a time at least.

Using just the CCP figures, we would have close to 10% of the US population filing bankruptcy. Using figures I have seen (15% death rate, and 25% critical care/ICU), You would be looking at unimaginable consequences. It would not even have a label in society yet. A combination of anarchy and marshall law would be the foreseeable future.

The upside is that we basically would be starting over. ALL debt would be wiped out, and a new way of forging ahead would have to be agreed upon.

No offense intended, but I've been seeing this "marshall law" mentioned a few times now. I believe what you might be thinking of is actually MARTIAL LAW.

I appreciate your post. I tried to fix it, but it is past the 4 hour deadline for editing on ATS. My biggest pet peeve is a spelling error, even on an anonymous forum. I am just glad someone is reading my posts.

FWIW, I consulted on a medical renovation project near Marshall, Texas over 5 years ago, and I still have the demon of that spelling with me. Thanks again.

No worries.

But what if they had the virus? Just goes to show what could happen in a messed up trafficking situation.

So the woman who is said to be connected to the virus escaping from the Wuhan lab has now discovered a virus 96% genetic match in a bat cave from 2004 SARS origin investigation.
www.dailymail.co.uk...
Need to confirm with a second source though I think, I'm not to sure about dailymail?

The virologist who led the research, Shi Zhengli, has now revealed one of the strains is almost identical to the one currently ravaging China.

She cross-referenced the genome sequence of COVID-19, as it's now officially known, with the 2004 results and found it was a 96 per cent match to a virus found in the droppings of horseshoe bats.

In recent weeks, she has been the subject of conspiracy theories that COVID-19 escaped from her lab the Institute of Virology in Wuhan city.

I think they are saying all the results are not back and they haven't processed the 400+. I think more results expected tomorrow.

Singapore cases up to 50 now with 8 in ICU. Averaging 1 new ICU cases a day now. Around 15% critical care which I think I've seen mentioned elsewhere. (Forgive me if that maths is wrong it's been a long day!)

Weren't those people Vietnamese?

This is a directly related to the Brighton UK case. Something changed between Singapore, France, and UK. A mutation is highly probable in Brighton, based on 2 of my sources.

I am SO not happy that it’s about to be the deluge we fear

I'm just curious, what kind of person engages in this kind of pro doom porn rhetoric, totally ignoring the reality.

That was a rhetorical question by the way, no need to answer.

Coupled with the update that we can now prepare to see the slight extension of cases revealed as it went from roughly 14-day to 24-day?

That is highly questionable data, please stop repeating it as if it were established fact.

195 people quarantined at March ARB in riverside were released from quarantine this morning after 14 day holding

Link? What was the outcome? How many tested positive? Or did they all test negative? How many tests were done?

Details matter.
