Coronavirus - International stories and thoughts

Is this stuff killing middle aged healthy people? I know the flu I think mostly gets people that are either old and broken down or really young. Also China is lying their butt off according to a lot of people there just saying deaths were pneumonia etc. when they know this stuff was the initial cause

Sucks it wont show

I was sent a video from Wahuan, it came from a hospital.

It show the hospital halls, standing room only, boddies of the infected shaking uncontrollably and people just falling to the ground in the streets.

 

Crazy stuff...

 

If this stuff is real and I have no reason to think it’s not, obviously seems like a more severe problem than the common flu.

 

Yes, I agree with you. Bt the history of some rightwingers posting 'news' on this forum that was later proven to be fake, leads one to be skeptical until sources are verified and proven genuine.

The Boy who cried Wolf, and all that.

 

Today’s update.
They are trying a US based drug to try and bring the number down.
Coronavirus death toll jumps to 565 as China confirms thousands of new cases

Chinese Doctor Who Issued Early Warning on Virus Dies

WUHAN—The whistleblowing Chinese doctor who was among the first to flag the existence of a dangerous coronavirus now spreading around the world died on Friday morning, according to the hospital where he was being treated after becoming infected by the pathogen.

Li Wenliang, a 33-year-old ophthalmologist based in Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, had captivated the country and triggered an extraordinary outpouring of emotion on Thursday night and Friday morning as he ailed. Millions of people flocked to a live stream operated...

2 weeks is the incubation time. So if you were exposed to someone with it, it could take 2 weeks to show up. So you can be a carrier and not know it.

 

Damn ... that sucks

 

Infections dropped a bit today again, but deaths rose.
Would be interesting to know if the number are real, or it’s China trying to still show that things are serious while implying the peak has passed.

China reports 73 deaths, 3,143 new novel coronavirus cases

 

That article says 28,000 infected. The video I tried posting yesterday but wont load, a nurse in Wuhuan says there are 90,000 plus. Hospitals, standing room only. Video showed people literally dropping in the street.

 

Too early for mosquito control...

 

Alright try this. let me know if you can view it.

I can see it - that was crazy unless he locked his legs for a while like when people stand at attention and lock their knees up too long.
