Coronavirus.. outlook

Medfinder

Chemon 91
The doctors from Rajavithi Hospital in Bangkok said a new approach in coronavirus treatment had improved the condition of several patients under their care, including one 70-year-old Chinese woman from Wuhan who tested positive for the coronavirus for 10 days.
The drug treatment includes a mixture of anti-HIV drugs lopinavir and ritonavir, in combination with flu drug oseltamivir in large doses.
“This is not the cure, but the patient’s condition has vastly improved. From testing positive for 10 days under our care, after applying this combination of medicine the test result became negative within 48 hours,” Dr. Kriangska Atipornwanich, a lung specialist at Rajavithi, told reporters.



The cost for lopinavir/ritonavir oral liquid (400 mg-100 mg/5 mL) is around $375 for a supply of 160 milliliters, depending on the pharmacy you visit. Prices are for cash paying customers only and are not valid with insurance plans.


The cost for ritonavir oral tablet 100 mg is around $95 for a supply of 30 tablets, depending on the pharmacy you visit. Prices are for cash paying customers only and are not valid with insurance plans.


Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is a brand-name antiviral medication that can treat or prevent symptoms of the flu. In the United States, the current average retail price of ten 75 mg capsules (or one pack) of Tamiflu is around $185. The generic, oseltamivir, is around $100. Ask a Question Now!

quite hopeful this
not the cure? that seems a little pessimistic considering the result albeit small numbers
could be a game changer in the death rate

Somehow it seems appropriate to offer these unfortunate folks a shot of Jagermeister.

Not enough to cause unconsciousness, just enough to make the flu enjoyable for 15 minutes.

Mask manufacturers must be cleaning up - so long as they can keep up with demand - and now we are told that these masks don't really add any real protection -

So millions/billions will all buy a useless mask - still could be good for downtown Delhi - or most major cities - as a smog mask -

I even spotted someone here in small town USA sporting a mask the other day. Couldn't hep but to chuckle a little. I think they were tourists from the city.

There is no point trying to control a disease that kills 2%. If you start shutting boarders, people will panic buy and run for their bunkers. Businesses can collapse as key workers decide that some time off is more important than their job. If this is important infrastructure, such as transport, you can cause a lot of damage by changing peoples role to one of survivalist. The number from China may be wrong, and maybe your government/dictatorship know this, but are happy to let us believe. Telling us they got the few people that carry it and all is well. Knowing the two week incubation period, is longer than the story is old.

Who wants this spliff next?

It was invented and pushed into china by the US in order to hamper the Chinese expansion into the Middle East and European economies...


Or it's just a new virus that has killed a few people unfortunately and stories of fear and doom tend to sell better than other stories. Millions of people die from the flu in China each year, but we don't hear about that.


Isn't Australia still burning?

2019-nCoV Transmission from Asymptomatic Patient
C. Rothe and Others

In this report, investigators in Germany detected the spread of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from a person who had recently traveled from China to Germany for a business trip. This transmission occurred before the apparent onset of illness in the index patient and was associated with additional transmission events in Germany.

JAN 30

Early Transmission Dynamics of 2019-nCoV
Q. Li and Others

The authors provide an epidemiologic analysis of the first 425 confirmed cases of infection with the novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China. This analysis provides estimates of the epidemic doubling time and the basic reproductive number and shows clear evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission.




Clinical Characteristics of 2019 Novel Coronavirus Infection
Rajesh T. Gandhi, MD reviewing Chen N et al. Lancet 2020 Jan 30

About half of those admitted to one hospital with this infection had comorbid conditions, and deaths occurred mainly in older individuals.

The clinical spectrum of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection is still being defined. Now, investigators describe the characteristics of 99 people with confirmed 2019-nCoV pneumonia who were admitted to one infectious diseases specialty hospital between January 1 and 20, 2020, in Wuhan, China.




The patients' average age was 55; two thirds were men; 47 had long-term exposure (e.g., salesmen, market managers) and 2 had short-term exposure (shoppers) to the Huanan seafood market. About 50% had chronic conditions, most commonly cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (40%). At hospital admission, symptoms and signs included fever (83%), cough (82%), and shortness of breath (31%); few patients had sore throat, rhinorrhea, or gastrointestinal symptoms (≤5% each). Laboratory findings included liver function abnormalities (43%) and lymphopenia (35%). On chest x-ray or computed tomography, 75% had evidence of bilateral pneumonia; 1 person had a pneumothorax. Complications at time of presentation included acute respiratory distress syndrome (17%), acute kidney injury (3%), and septic shock (4%). By January 25, 11 patients (11%) had died. Seven of the deaths were in people over 60 years old.

Patient Placement
Place a patient with known or suspected 2019-nCoV (i.e., PUI) in an AIIR that has been constructed and maintained in accordance with current guidelines.
AIIRs are single patient rooms at negative pressure relative to the surrounding areas, and with a minimum of 6 air changes per hour (12 air changes per hour are recommended for new construction or renovation). Air from these rooms should be exhausted directly to the outside or be filtered through a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration...

Story's of Chinese with diarrhea spread Corona virus through air...

Coronavirus May Transmit Along Fecal-Oral Route, Xinhua Reports

Virus genetic material was discovered in patient stool and rectal swabs, Xinhua said Sunday. The finding was made by scientists from the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University and the Wuhan Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences after noting that some patients infected with the 2019-nCoV virus had diarrhea early in the disease, instead of a fever, which is more common, the report said.

Do all those big apartment buildings in Wuhan have flush toilets ?

It seems like the infection has less force in the US.

Of course that may be because they've only found 11 cases so far, vs 100K+ in China.

In Karl Denningers recent webcast, he brought up that detail. Poop Patrol.
