Coronavirus.. outlook

[tetragrammaton]

Well it's in Chile now... all three I believe the number was, were doctors from what I understand. EDIT: Also from what I understand they were on board with others and also on buses with others while infected, so I fear the number will rise. I've read and heard many theories, and many make sense and as far as I'm concerned it's a crime against humanity, but when has that ever mattered throughout the history of humanity? It's a shame and spread so quick despite the initial infected being quarantined. Travel bans and what not somehow didn't prevent travel. This world is such a dark place... I only want to live my life in peace, and I'd have no problem living alone in some secluded area, it's a goal of mine if I live long enough. I am just honestly sick of reality seeming like a cruel joke or something out of science fiction, evil scientists and all. But that leads to the question is fiction based on reality or is reality based on fiction?

I sincerely hope no one here gets it, and if they do, I hope they recover and it's just the flu that was misdiagnosed. If I happen to get it, and die, at least I'll die with peace knowing that I've beaten so many odds and survived so many trials and tribulations, and can finally be free of my inner pain and suffering and anxiety that I don't forsee ever going away without being dependant on medication.

Well at least it's only an epidemic. If it was a pandemic the bankers would have to chip in.

And we know that will never happen

Man, 86, is first Dutch coronavirus casualty, cause of infection still unknown.

Had not been in Italy and had no contacts with people from there.

have first confirmed case here in middle TN. won't be the last either...

 

[TychoMonolyth]

There are 2 confirmed strains.

S strain & L strain.
L mutated from S in china early.

S is the more severe strain. Less communicable. (Low R0)
L is less severe strain. More communicable. (High R0)
L is what is circulating outside of china.


I may have flipped L and S. But that's what we have. A less severe strain which is more contagious.

A dog tested positive for coronavirus in Hong Kong

A dog tested positive for coronavirus in Hong Kong

Experts say that while dogs can be carriers of the virus, there's no indication they can spread it to humans.

Prof. J. Scott Weese of the University of Guelph's Ontario Veterinary College, who studies diseases that can pass between animals and humans, said it was initially thought the dog became infected due to contamination from living in close contact with its owner.

WHO won't call it a pandemic because if they do that triggers some $425M in bonds that would have to pay out.

This is being mis-managed by bullshit. At another board I hang out at, one person has WuFlu, another had it. Without tests this is conjecture.

"this is not a drill." said the director general of WHO yesterday. "this is not a time for excuses. this is a time for pulling out all of the stops." meanwhile, potus cancelled a meeting at CDC in Atlanta for a look-good flyover of Nashville instead. the storm THERE is over, over 2 dozen killed. the corona virus tsunami is just getting started. gotta have priorities ya know...

Came back from Dominican Republic Feb 7th, over 2 weeks before it was detected in a traveler from Italy who landed on the 24th.

I was supposed to go to Spannabis this year but work got in the way. Now I don't feel so bad.

Circumstances. Everything is circumstances.

Coronavirus updates live: 14 dead across U.S.; Trump signs $8.3B bill

The death toll in the U.S. from the coronavirus outbreak rose to 14 on Friday, with more than 225 cases confirmed across the country.

President Donald Trump on Friday morning signed a $8.3 billion emergency spending package to combat the virus.

Two coronavirus cases in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has reported its first two coronavirus cases, Gov. Tom Wolf said Friday.

One individual is an adult in Wayne County who traveled to a country where coronavirus is present, and the other individual is an adult in Delaware County who traveled to another area of the U.S. where coronavirus is present.

The latest numbers: The novel coronavirus has killed more than 3,300 people, the vast majority in mainland China, according to CNN's tally. The World Health Organization reported the world is nearing 100,000 cases, while Johns Hopkins University says we've already surpassed that number.
Military alert: Pentagon officials said efforts to develop vaccines may not be quick enough to wipe out the virus before a "second wave" next winter.
US entry denied: The Department of Homeland Security has refused entry into the United States to 241 people within the past month because of the novel coronavirus.

trumps visit to CDC "may" be back on for this afternoon. WH spokesfolks earlier said he was not going "in order to not be a distraction" . now it appears he did not go because of a possible virus case AT the CDC.

 

[TheForgotten]

I hate being negative, but i'm starting to believe that simulation may be accurate (predicted 65 million dead).
We may be in a year long situation....

overgrow the planet with mullein weed before big pharma figures out they can do the same as epidiolex and cannabis

The countries that are doing the best job -

South Korea, Singapore, and North Korea -

doesn't that say something about their economic future ?

i.e. they got it together, WAAAY more than the US.

 

[mexweed]

realistically the u.s. probably already has a vaccine and they're not talking about it because the more broad and international the development of a vaccine the better, if it were announced other countries might want to quit trying in hopes of getting a ration of it or just copy it instead of discovering a novel route on their own

 

[igrowone]

30+ cases in NY, New Rochelle area mostly, a cluster
that popped up NY's corona number right quick

 

[mack 10]

They claim they will have a vaccine in 18 months,
Like they already know they have it.
This thing sucks from top to bottom.

I worked at a large R&D site. Even if they could just say 'oh yeah, this will work' the trials before we get it take ages. Rodents. Dogs. Monkeys. People. That's about as quick as animal rights will stand for it, before disrupting everything. Then once it's proven on a small batch, It needs scaling up to continuous delivery. If that's even possible. Not everything can be stirred together with a stick in the garage. Recipe's change, methods are tweaked. Then it's back to rodents again. I have seen things work on people, made in small quantities, that wouldn't scale up and still work in people.

If the government order the work, than companies might share their work, as they are paid to. Hearing another private company has stepped up to the task means little to us though, if it's not through public funding given purely to help people (not to get the government a share of the income)
