heat and humidity kill coronaviruses, so you should be a lot safer in summer
I swear we need to post this on the top of every goddamn page of this thread or something.
(And yes, for those of you in the back there this is why some of the medical staff you're seeing in photos are not wearing masks.)
If this is what's necessary to halt the spread of the virus, then it's not going to work in the free world.
Listening to the CDC/WHO numbers isn't concern trolling.
If someone is in an area or situation where extra care is required, you don't want them thinking it's not even as bad as the flu. Being careful often means inconvenience, if you give people an excuse to avoid inconvenience, they almost always will.
if the authorities are correct and there is no airborne transmission they should be safe from nCov
Hopefully all this leads to a big crackdown on all the inhumane shit we do to all these animals.
I would like to think so but this well never happen unfortunately. So sad.
Just a prank that went too far bro
This is probably the most useful data I've come across, via NYT. The large area of pink is intended to depict the uncertainty in the estimates.
Case fatality above seasonal flu but below SARS, MERS and most of the epidemic flus. Relatively comparable infectivity though, though probably towards the higher end of the listed respiratory viruses. Note fatality rate is on a log scale.
[also notable what a terrifyingly infectious virus measles is - highlights really just how irresponsible anti-vax is]
Apologies if this has been posted already.
For anyone worried about the coronavirus, this would be a good time to work on your general disaster preparedness and hygiene protocols. Most people don't practice basic hygiene like proper hand washing.
Do you have a small supply of clean drinking water? Non-perishable foods? Do you have an emergency safety plan in place with your loved ones? Do you have a "go bag" prepared for each family member, in the event you would need to rapidly leave your home?
These are basic steps anyone can take to be prepared in the face of any emergency.

"In the video, police, through a loudspeaker mounted on the drone, order residents caught chatting in front of a house: "You! The four people chatting there! Get inside the house!"
In another instance, police warn a male pedestrian: "Throw away the cigarette and put on a mask! You, right there!""
Fucking City 17 over here
I dunno about you guys but I take the flu super seriously. Get the flu shot every single year as soon as I can and even though it only protects against a certain number of strains, it's still better than nothing.
This coronavirus has no vaccines yet. That's why it's scary.

Especially rural China with their stupid superstitions. Eat this rhyno horn dust it'll make you're penis as hard as a rhinos horn bro.

Rural everywhere is like that.
Yes, the problem is that so many people don't take the flu seriously, so things like proper hygiene are a joke. Which only spreads disease faster.
And also Tangled: The Series, set in Corona, is airing its final few episodes as this is going on.
Diamond Princess meals seem to be ok for now

The other ship seems to be going further south. Christmas Island - Australia's quarantine seems pretty far. Not sure where they can go.

A childhood friend of mine travels a lot for his job and was supposed to be in Wuhan recently. He ended up switching with a colleague and traveled to SK and Taiwan instead. His colleague caught and died from nCorona back in January. He said that they make him get a temp scan just to even get into his hotel breakfast area every morning and can't leave without wearing a mask to go to work. This might not add anything to this thread, but it just hit close to home. We've been friends since we were five, and I'm worried about him.
Rhino horn according to TCM is "cold" which won't help harden anyone's penis. We eat bull's penis instead.
Do your homework before posting this kind of stuff, thank you.
ruh-roh, temp scans are way less effective and we got no way of screening for asymptomatic carriers
That's fucking horrible. I'm sure your friend is having severe survivor's guilt. :(
Yep. Going to be difficult to track new outbreaks. Best bet at this point would be to screen every patient with pneumonia to either confirm or discard potential new coronavirus infections. Otherwise, it's going to keep spreading for a while.
Stress and anxiety are killers too. I suggest you stop following this thread and enjoy life a bit. You'll see what happens a few months from now. It is beyond your control anyway.
I dunno 10K for making some produce inedible seems like a lot. Give them a month of community service and tell them to shape up.
EDIT: May have misread this as the 10K being how much WM seeks to get out of these kids for damages. If not, ignore.
But the recovered jumped substantially as well from 1,337 yesterday to 2,050 today, so it's not all bad, but still, I am staying somewhat optimistic.

Yeah, even in my tiny town of Yangshou, a lot of the apartment complexes/gardens aren't allowing in anyone who isn't a resident. So no more having friends over to socialize.

Eh those mahjong games were a health hazard, killed probably thousands with passive smoke.
I understand restricting the games and the shops, not really destroying the tables. Eventually you need to returns to the normal, even if they was getting passive smoke.
In bigger cities if one person has nCov the while building goes on 14 day quarantine
That's crazy, no way Hawaii people gonna let them dock, we have 0 facility here to quarantine people in case shit hit the fan
Be sure to also avoid the men's bathrooms as well. The stalls get used by guys as a place to hide for a smoke break all the time.
Global Times is a CCP mouthpiece, so at the very least it's government-approved info.
