The response from China in the massive quarantines and resources they have put, and all the information they have made available, is absolutely insane.
The italian premier Giuseppe Conte confirmed in a breaking news-press conference that Italy has its first 2 cases of Coronavirus.
2 chinese tourists in an hotel in Rome went ill some days ago. The area has been locked down, the tourists have been transported in the Spallanzani hospital.

Describe pre existing conditions.
Like i have ibs, is that a pre existing condition?
Noooo I was just going to ask about Italy. My mom and dad are going in May and my mom has a very compromised immune system and RA. I hope things have settled by May :(
Anything that weakens the immune system such as Diabetes, etc
There is also a psychosis running in the italian population.
Just today an entire cruise ship with 6000+ passengers on board was held still on the harbor quay for an alert on chinese tourists being ill.
Later tests confirmed it was a simple flu, A H1N1-type.
Also Chinese/Asians restaurants and shops are experiencing a loss of customers.
I can already image what will be like after the official news of 2 Coronavirus cases.
It's been absolutely bizarre that they waited so long. The China ass kissing is weird also when they royalist fucked this up to begin with.
You make it seem like healthcare in China is that of a third world country.
One possibility is that they don't want to be too confrontational and risk China getting stingier with access.
They're doing all the wrong things here. It's clear by now that the quarantine isn't helping. What needs to happen is that the health care and sanitation practices in China need to be modernized.
It's not, but health care access is one of the reasons why this outbreak has been spreading so fast in China -- both the affordability of it and the lack of health care facilities.
(And for the record, I am Chinese)
Its the sheer quantity of patients. The Chinese healthcare workers are overworked from all the cases and being in hazmat suits all day.
Italy is stopping all flights from and to China effective from tonight
There are 5 on-going flights coming from China headed to Rome and Milan that will be probably diverted to other airports

Yeah and I live in Riverside. I pass by the base on my way to work.
The peripheral necrosis is a known symptom of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation caused by HELLP syndrome which is a rare but serious complication of pregnancy. Basically clots form everywhere throughout the body which can occlude blood supply to peripheral tissues (and organs) causing ischemia and necrosis. I've heard of a patient who needed amputations of all four limbs due to the tissue damage caused by DIC after she gave birth which was really tragic. But the tissue necrosis has a known cause and it wasn't Wuhan novel CoV.
I mean, this is true. The media is completely ignorant about any kind of health related topic and deliberately plays up the danger of pandemics for the sake of ratings, see Ebola. This isn't even the first novel coronavirus to emerge out of China, and it's nowhere near as dangerous as the previous ones on a mortality standpoint.

yeah, I was going to ask about this too.
Hubei: 1220 new cases, 42 new deaths http://wjw.hubei.gov.cn/fbjd/dtyw/202001/t20200131_2016680.shtml

I'm guessing they're referring to how the CIA used fake vaccination drives to acquire DNA samples and root out where Bin Laden was, and when word of that got out, led to a backlash against vaccination efforts in Pakistan, and eventually, a resurgence of polio.
Here's a Lancet article about it.
I guarantee you that if an airborne/droplet transmitted super cold popped up in the middle of New York City the local health care infrastructure would be similarly overwhelmed.
This, it's a commitment of international resources, that's all.
Given the demographics of Toronto and Vancouver, that would put many people in a very difficult position.
The italian government as always is fucking ridicolous and useless, they literally waited for the virus to get to Italy before stopping flights to and from China.
The chinese couple that brought the virus has been in Italy since the 23rd of January and visited multiple cities before ending up in Rome. Game, set and match.

So far the people most likely to be severely affected by this are those with pre-existing conditions and weakened immune systems. That's not to say that healthy adults shouldn't be wary of this, everyone should be. There just isn't enough data available yet.
Man. I just really hope it settles down by May. I wouldn't want to send my mom anywhere that had a virus like this running around :(
That's a really big jump today. :(
I think one younger people has died, but mostly elderly/pre-existing conditions.
I've been following from the start and it's hard to keep track.
We had information on some of the dead like a week ago but so many people are dying daily now I don't think we have good information on them
Yup, daily amount of new cases jumped by almost 200 from 1032 to 1220.
After China quarantined Wuhan they should've acted immediately (they are tourists, you can send them back with no harm), as a second generation Italian (of Chinese origins) I expect rough days ahead for us. It's going to be real hard for the kids getting bullied.
Terrifying if true.
"Researchers in Beijing estimated that the R0 of 2019-nCoV is higher than that of SARS, at 4.08, while the fatality rates of the two viruses are comparable".

It's not a big deal until someone successfully weasels out of quarantine and fucks everyone because they're so special. Even if it spreads a bit slower than China, once it gets to airports, it'll be in K-12 and it'll be everywhere.
