What do they mean by two population expantions?


If you have HIV (the virus) you will develop AIDS (the illness).

If you have SARScov2 (the virus) you will develop COVID19 (the illness).


OK, but they made it really confusing this time. Every media calls the virus cOVID19.
Why call it SARScov2 making it sound like it is SARS, since just as SARS they are just two different viruses from coronavirus family.

By the current convention with SARS AND MERS they should stick to four letters like COVI or something for the virus itself.

Unless someone will start pulling ranks, individual states might be forced to take care of their own citizens from the cruise that need services.


I'm amazed there hasn't been another cruise ship incident like the Diamond Princess to be honest.



What if they just keep quiet?

Fascinating coincidence! Or coronavirus with a sense of humor..?

So the Ski Chalet with now world-famous corona cases is located in the town of Contamines-Montjoie.


https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-51425702
The group shared this chalet in the French Alpine ski resort of Contamines-Montjoie.





You also can not deny the cleverness of the virus in his use of geography to strategically position itself, is phenomenal.. The Contamines-Montjoie is located right where three countries meet. France, Switzerland and Italy.




the above had been posted before the first Italian cases emerged.

And the below after the first cases have been reported,,,



Per NYT
https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/02/21/world/europe/21reuters-china-health-italy.html

Per article, Italy is reporting their cases in areas that are in relative proximity to the French Chalet cases. Probably pure coincidence
but while it could be anywhere in Italy, it is there.. so close..


The Italian 14 cases in Lombardy...




and nearby Veneto region, 2 cases...

The Italian cases seen like they could came from the same region as The French chalet, perhaps tourists got it in passing without realizing and brought home to Italy.

Do Italians kiss on chicks upon greeting and departure? Do Chinese people shake hands to greet?

I always feel really bad for the food that is still remaining on the shelves in these situations. I mean, it must be thinking (if it could think), what do I have to do to get purchased? That said, it looks like,here, there's some S.Pellegrino left, and that stuff never goes out of style.

Coronavirus threatens shortages of about 150 prescription drugs including antibiotics, generics and branded drugs without alternatives according to Axios.

China is a huge supplier of the ingredients used to make drugs that are sold in the U.S.

This video has been said to be disseminated by Iranian health authorities. Or the sourcing is just made up.

Phones GPS data could be easily used to locate most of the contacts with sick people even in passing. Phones could also be used by authorities to notify those affected.
