Wuhan virus (coronavirus) arrives in the USA

[Anonymous]

Why was the CDC so ill-prepared to test and why is it still not right??

[Anonymous]

A possible case in DC, being tested.

To self soothe, some people will say we have many more undetected cases. Our only hope is warm weather getting here soon and having an effect on the lipid envelope of the virus. Scientists don’t know — some say, yes, that may happen, but others say, no idea. If it doesn’t ... we’re in trouble.

I was hoping for the same. But really - given how our government has prepared us so far, don't you think they would just announce the virus has been conquered, drop all testing and preparations, and then we face another upswing next fall, right after the elections, of course?

We would need at least N95 masks and eye protection to have a good shot at protecting ourselves, however we aren’t being given access to these things until it’s too late. At least they haven’t locked up gloves and hand sanitizer in the hospital yet.

Oh, good grief. No one could have anticipated that this virus would have originated in China or that it would have spread the way it did. Millions of test of just supposed to miraculously appear out of thin air and into the hands all doctors and hospitals across the US?

Have you looked into what happened to those recovered patients? Ventilators, icu, some got lung transplants. It wasn’t your normal flu recovery where you feel bad for a week.

Sh@t

Are you suggested that all 45000 of them are in this condition? I would think either extreme cases or the first cases when they did not know how to use equipment properly etc. Also many cases were treated with blood plasma from the cured patients and supposedly WHO says that they got immediately better and entirely cured.

I was reading somewhere that the people do require long recovery even after the symptoms are gone but it is mostly rest and taking it easy letting body heal. They are weak for the most part for a very long time, matter of many weeks. Also it was said that the organs like heart, kidneys, lungs need 6 months to fully recover to pre virus condition. I don't have the link for that but that was pretty widely circulated in all kinds of medial including I think BBC..

We do have now other then just Chinese data to have some reliable information.

Recovered:
45,726
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Absolutely not all of them are in this condition. Cases include the 80 percent who do not require hospitalization. The much more dire and prolonged recovery is generally limited to the 3% or so who have at one point been deemed "critical" and have survived. Approximately a third of those in critical care do not.

Where are you getting your data?

We are supposed to have a warmer than normal spring.

Good.

Does warm weather really slow the spread? Or is this one of those myths?

Let's see how it does in FL and AZ, as opposed to cool, unsunny Washington State.

I have heard that warm weather does slow Coronaviruses, in general, down.

Warm weather and alcohol....maybe a corona on a warm beach is, in fact, the antidote.

I saw an expert with fancy degrees MDPHD I think interviewed and he said that is a myth. Instead in wearmer weather our nose is less likely to run due to something with blood vessels so we are less likely to catch viruses. They don't die off in summer.

Not nice!!! Not nice at all! Science denier MD with Phd !!!???

If you only can catch them, kindly have them red the below and then ask to relinquish all the titles. God only knows what else he is spreading.. possible he is a member of a flat earth society!!!

Here.. one of MANY papers written on the topic of survival of different coronaviruses outside the host, what strongly affects spreading, hence, epidemic as a whole.

Environmental survival and microbicide inactivation of coronaviruses

The effect of relative humidity (RH) and air temperature has been studied on the airborne survival of experimentally aerosolized human coronavirus 229E [22]. As is true for enveloped viruses in general, 229E survived better at 30-50% RH than at 80% RH when the air temperature was about 20°C. Under these conditions, the half-lives of the virus at 30%, 50% and 80% RH were 27, 67 and 3 hours, respectively. Lowering the air temperature to 6°C increased the half-lives of the virus at 30% and 50% RH to 34 and 103 hours, respectively. But the lower air temperature produced the most dra- matic effect on virus survival at 80% RH and changed its half-life from 3 to over 86 hours.


And that is science in the purest of the forms.

Yeah! Let's bring in Communists to handle this and at the same time scream Trump is an authoritarian!

Wonder who Typhoid Mary is and whether or not she kept her travels (or her family's) to herself.

This is exactly why people don’t want to come forward.

Fear of lawsuits?

A-holes like PP.

How will you feel if this person was in an epicenter area and hid it so she could work?

And can we test them yet? Still waiting on more tests?

Are Chinese vendors selling them on Amazon yet?

Maybe the fake ones. Like the fake masks?

We don’t know. It is, after all, a NOVEL virus.

Exactly. We can hope but we don't know. It spread in Singapore, which is warm and humid.

Singapore is in its rainy season.

This is for, essentially, the month of Feb:

As of 2 March, there were a total of 108 confirmed cases with 78 since discharged.
