Too much digging around.
Laptop caught the infection.
symptoms included: freeze's, interrupted services, window closures, etc..
Have since reset, condition is stable.. will monitor for signs of remaining symptoms.
Christ I hate having to do that, my own fault for forgetting I hadn't installed an anti-virus on this laptop yet.

I've been seeing this too.
Can any med people chime in? I'm hearing HIV strands were found but a few are saying that's false.

Yeahh absolutely true... If it is on the net it's because it's true... Besides HIV this virus also has a percentage of Ebola, Zika and some Nepalese doctors are pretty sure it could also carry some tiphoid with it... Peace and beer

It was reportedly proven that this is not a bio-weapon, but that has come into question again, on this non peer=reviewed report posted by ATS'er Anzha

The finding of 4 unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV, all of which have identity /similarity to amino acid residues in key structural proteins of HIV-1 is unlikely to be fortuitous in nature...

The antiretrovirals work because for some reason this virus has similar binding and RNA insertion to HIV. So protease inhibitors have a partial impact on slowing down viral replication.
The child may never show symptoms, reports are saying symptoms range from mild cold, to viral bronchitis to pneumonia depending on the general health of the host in most cases. It also seems to be hitting males with underlying cardiac, arterial and possible pulmonary issues because the body increases the number of ACE2 receptors, the primary binding sites, in the tissue to counteract disease.
I wouldn’t worry about it hiding from the immune system, most viruses use camouflage to evade the body, so do bacteria. They’re made up of the same things we are and in many cases our immune system won’t actively respond to a virus until an infected cell is destroyed by the innate immune system and the abnormal virus antigens can be presented to T cells and brought to the lymph nodes. Even then you’re still waiting for our bodies to guess correctly to neutralize the virus.
It’s just a new virus that we don’t have immunity to and it’s most likely going to be sticking around for rest of our lives. Only 1/3 people got the Spanish flu, even though many more were exposed to the virus.
A hotel in York is at the centre of Britain’s coronavirus scare, after its guests were confirmed as the first two known cases of the virus in the UK.
The pair, now being treated at a specialist NHS unit in Newcastle, had been taken away by paramedics in Hazmat suits, after falling ill at the Stay City Hotel.
They were two members of the same family, understood to be tourists who came from China on holiday to the UK in recent days.
