Coronavirus.. outlook

...but someone tell me what are they doing once they have patients to treat them? whats the course of action?

There is no treatment. It is just possible to ease symptoms. One can suppress fever. Many people simply suffocate. They can't breath anymore due to the pneumonia. You need oxygen and artificial respiration. They will give you antibiotics, although the antibiotics will not fight the virus, but it will prevent other bacteria to harm your body additionally. When the body is weak because of a virus, bacteria can more easy infect your body additionally making it worse.
edit: Additionally to oxygen, artificial respiration, suppressing fever, antibiotics - patients are often too weak to eat and drink and need infusion drip feeding (water & glucose), otherwise they die by dehydration.
And beside suffocating, many die also by multiple organ failure.

Fighting the virus itself is nearly impossible right now. There are tries to fight it with a combination of influenza meds (Tamiflu) and HIV meds ( Lopinavir & Ritonavir). All this meds are very expensive and for sure not available for 7.8 billion people.

There is no vaccination and it will take at least a year to develop a vaccine. If there is a vaccine, it is unclear if it will protect 100%. Influenza vaccination protects just up to 60% - 80% because the virus mutates all the time.

Another 41 people on a cruise ship off the coast of Japan have tested positive for the new coronavirus, bringing the total number of cases on board to 61.

Some 3,700 people are on board the Diamond Princess, which is quarantined in Yokohama for at least two weeks.

The checks began after an 80-year-old Hong Kong man who had been on the ship last month fell ill with the virus.

He boarded the luxury cruise liner in Yokohama on 20 January and disembarked in Hong Kong on 25 January.

A separate cruise ship - the World Dream - has been quarantined in Hong Kong after eight former passengers caught the virus. It has around 3,600 people on board, but none have tested positive so far.

Sounds like the Hospitals themselves are where some of the Super-Spreading is happening.

They call the patients involved "super-spreaders" but it really sounds like it's a function of the situation.

Those Chinese warehouse like hospital rooms - are they set up to kill large quantities of people ?

Maybe not on purpose but, quarantine is how you stop the virus and those huge rooms with 500 beds are not quarantines.

The Chinese are 'good' in their clean-up operations.When i look how they manage the African Swine Flu, you don't want to know, how they handle this.

These hospital warehouse rooms is just the same idea.It look like a hospital, but its just one big hole of collection place of the Coronavirus.

In the media they say that the source is from a wet market, but from animal to human and then from human to human is a bit to quick in mutation time imo.

That change in hosts doesn't require any mutation.

It's like getting Herpes from a Bat, for lack of a better example.

Which is not to say, that there was no mutation.

We will know a lot more in 6 months or a year.

It looks like the Chinese economy has almost shut down for 3 months. Not sure how they can manage that.

You can expect made in the USA to go gangbusters for the next 12 months or more. Provided we aren't at war.

Data from http://windy.com shows a massive release of sulfur dioxide gas from the outskirts of Wuhan, commonly associated with the burning of organic matters. Levels are elevated, even compared with the rest of China.

yeah, i don't think we will ever get the truth from China. their leadership might not survive the year if it comes out just how bad it is, and if the disease WAS being weaponized... their military might turn on them if that was the case.
