that and it can cause permanent lung damage even if you "recover" due to severe inflammation.
From what i have gathered they mean regular flu like symptoms in majority of cases, so fever, muscle ache, fatigue, cough etc. and some dont even show those or only one or two.
The number of active cases has been decreasing for over a week.

It's misleading to think this way, though. Active cases are now skyrocketing in Europe and South Korea. Only decreasing in China (which is skewing overall statistics).

If China can get a hold on the virus then Europe is more than capable. I don't expect things too get nearly as bad in Europe as they got in China. Also the population density of China is roughly 4x that of Europe.
China's numbers of active cases keep going down and I believe the trend
Thank you. How trustworthy is the site, especially regarding age brackets' CFR? My parents are both above 70 (plus my dad has cancer) and I was trying to explain to them that this isn't "just like the flu"; I kind of wanted to share them that link but I don't want to be fearmongering either.Again, this is a good site to track number of cases/deaths over time. Lots of info.
COVID Live - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometer
Live statistics and coronavirus news tracking the number of confirmed cases, recovered patients, tests, and death toll due to the COVID-19 coronavirus from Wuhan, China. Coronavirus counter with new cases, deaths, and number of tests per 1 Million population. Historical data and info. Daily...
I think the main reason that China was able to take hold was because they enacted one of the biggest quarantines at site zero, Hubei.
Okay. So the dog could've licked the virus and not be infected. Hopefully that's the case.
China also did an unprecedented lockdown of their cities and people. They literally were guarding apartment complexes etc preventing people from leaving. The west will never manage that style of lockdown. China doesn't care if somebody died because of the lockdown. You won't see the same type of respond in Europe or the US etc
There's been a lot of companies saying that though. I don't doubt some are true and on their way to the actual vaccine, but some may just be ways to get more funding since I remember reading one of the first companies stating they had potential but looking at their output, they didn't have anything to show for it.
Can be pretty rapid. Coronaviruses are pretty common as well (one of the more prevelant causes of common cold for example). The one possible upside of being a coronavirus is it actually may mutate over time into another version of the common cold where it isn't normally lethal. Time will tell.
Since this virus is basically approaching a worldwide pandemic phase now, going forward that technique will not be very effective unless they want to crush their economy (e.g., ban all foreign travel, lockdown cities when a community outbreak occurs, etc...). Basically pandemic phase is all about mitigation, not containment.
That would be interesting but I think that would take way too many cycles considering this first came from an animal.
Yeah, sorry, I should have worded that differently. My dad is one of those "won't go to the doctor until things get bad" kind of person. A couple of months ago we had quite a scare because he thought he could handle fever and diarrhea just by drinking pedialyte and antipyretics. He ended up hospitalized almost a month with a compromised liver. So I'm trying to get him to understand this stuff is serious and isn't a common cold (which is what I should have said instead of the flu). Apologies.
Thanks, that's very informative. I'll talk to my parents about this.

It's good this is happening after the fact, though I doubt it'll be enforced.Shenzhen prepares ban on eating cats and dogs after outbreak
The southern Chinese technology hub of Shenzhen is moving to outlaw the consumption of dogs and cats as the country clamps down on the wildlife trade that scientists suspect led to the coronavirus outbreak.
That's not how the articles are reading.
unfortunately for China what they did might be all for naught. The virus could come right back to them from other countries now. Which is why to your point it is not sustainable
This is just further proof that single tweets are terrible in conveying accurate information and journalism often has major issues with miscommunicating what scientists are actually saying.
I would avoid to open the stadium to fans for the game between Juventus and Inter. Not only there would be thousands of people together, but it is certain many Inter's supporters would come to Turin from all over Lombardia. I understand that it is not possible anymore to postpone other games because of a strict schedule before EURO2020, but at least they could play closed-door.
