Corona Virus Updates

But playing the odds, non-elderly or not at-risk individuals have little to fear.

A reminder on this, anyone who has been in a major forest fire area in the past year can consider themselves "at risk." That means places like southcentral Alaska and California and eastern Australia, all places which saw horrific air quality for extended periods, are going to be very much at-risk if this pox finds its way to them. I've never had full blown pheumonia, but I have had allergy related bronchitis and walking pneumonia and it was thanks to a combination of smoke and pollen... anything that weakens the lungs opens the door for viral pneumonia to take hold.

WHO have admitted they got it wrong on Thurs/Fri/Sat when they said it was ''moderate''
www.sciencealert.com...

The Geneva-based UN agency said in a situation report late Sunday that the risk was "very high in China, high at the regional level and high at the global level."

In a footnote, the WHO explained that it had stated "incorrectly" in its previous reports on Thursday, Friday and Saturday that the global risk was "moderate".

The correction of the global risk assessment does not mean that an international health emergency has been declared.

Sorry if this is a duplicate.

Title: World Health Oraganization declares China's coronavirus is a HIGH risk to other countries and admits it rated it "Moderate" by "MISTAKE" last week.

That's quite a mistake.

We already have strains of coronavirus that we deal with all the time. That's why we call this one novel. It's far enough removed from these that our immune systems have never had to deal with anything quite like it.

But once we deal with it like this, it will likely have a tough time being as dangerous. Just add it to the list of seasonal bugs with its coronavirus cousins.

Lot of good it does when WHO still drags their feet on declaring it an outright emergency, though. "We erred, it's worse than we said it was... but we're still going to do F-all about it for now."

So this is interesting, Australia, is saying they do not believe the novel virus, can be transmitted asymptomatic, and believe China, is saying that for political reasons, (quarantine etc). 🤷‍♂️

It’s about a 10 minute audio file.

This whole thing reminds me of all those dramatic movie or tv show scenes where they know it’s a huge problem, see a disaster approaching but don’t want to be that person who made the wrong decision and cost people money.

If those reports from the University in Hong Kong are correct, it’s already out and they’re in denial.

Wouldn’t high risk indicate the need for a health emergency to be declared?

The WHO is on par with the UN just a garbage organization that needs a gigantic enema

Every country STUPID enough to fly their citizens out of the Wuhan quarantine and repatriate them in their home countries, introducing this pox into their own nations voluntarily is going to have to take this type of position against China. Australia is covering their ass so they can sheepishly admit mistakes were made down the road when the walking incubators they're evacuating back int Aus deliver their diseased care packages into the country.

(and you're damn right I feel the same about the USA reimporting Americans from Wuhan back into the US at this point. It's stupid as hell. Embrace the quarantine, leave them there, let the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.)

Good reminder. How long after the fire would you consider a person at risk? 6 months? a year?

The WHO is part of the UN, so...

Does not surprise me this thing has been really weird right from thebstarts


I'm back to my original premise, meaningless

"Three hospital and local government workers, who have been briefed on how doctors are handling tests and confirming cases, told Reuters that official numbers of infections and deaths do not reflect the actual toll."

I've read that the aveoli air sac tissue in the lungs takes at least a full year to fully regenerate new tissue, so a year at a minimum. Usually they claim former smokers have lungs as healthy as non smokers within 9 months to a year.

Today's update/comparison with prediction chart that states 1.1 million dead by 2/21/20 is still on track:

For the date of 1/27/20 we have 4,573 confirmed cases (Predicted 3,460) 106 dead (Predicted 71).

There is something really screwy about this one province admits 4000 infected yet a zero hedge article says the same place is setting up 100,000 beds in 112 centers there is only 92000 beds in my country Australia.

First confirmed case in west Africa (Ivory Coast) showing on the John Hopkins Map

If that pattern holds, then the claims that this is no worse than the flu will go eerily silent...
www.medscape.com...

Between 291,000 and 646,000 people die each year globally from seasonal influenza-related respiratory illnesses, according to new estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and global health partners.

So...what do you mean... That on the 21 of July no one person on this planet is alive...?

a reply to: khnum

How many beds do health facilities normally have? How many of those are in use on any given day for standard health needs?

Now add in a public health emergency of this scale.

None of those other health needs stop just because you have added a public health emergency of this scale in additional bed needs. People still get born, have heart attacks and strokes, break bones, crash their cars, etc.
