Yeah you know me. But this is no time for bustin rhymes.

🤦♂️ I was thinking of making that joke, but it was too 🧀y
"...we observed significantly higher ACE2 gene expression in smoker samples compared to non-smoker samples. This indicates the smokers may be more susceptible to 2019-nCov and thus smoking history should be considered in identifying susceptible population and standardizing treatment regimen."
I'm happy to have never smoked
This would help explain why patient deaths have been predominantly male."...we observed significantly higher ACE2 gene expression in smoker samples compared to non-smoker samples.

In their case, it's either you work to death or get some help from robots.Honestly as a nurse I hate this. It feels so dehumanizing to me.
Feel free to fly over and volunteer your services then. I'm sure they could use the manpower. Talk is cheap and it's easy to criticize.Honestly as a nurse I hate this. It feels so dehumanizing to me.

I have mixed feelings on that. I get that it's for safety and I assume some extra efficiency, but it's pretty mean to effectively tell patients that they're not worth any basic human contact just because they're infected with something though no fault of their own.
I feel like that robot thing is a bad idea. As someone who has many close relationships with nurses, having somebody on a ward to check on patients and, indeed, their reaction to medication is essential.
Have you seen the condition of hospitals and the staffs in China (especially Wuhan) before posting?Let me know how you feel sick and alone in your room with only a robot bringing you food and meds.
I am not in a position to fly to fucking China and take care of their patients what a weird thing to say.
I'll be thankful because the alternative is not having food and meds. Do you even know anything about the situation there and how hard the healthcare staff are working? Do you think this is some stupid thing they're doing because it's fun to use robots?Let me know how you feel sick and alone in your room with only a robot bringing you food and meds.

Using a robot in this case is barely more safe and doesn't seem that much more efficient. Staff and patients would still both interact with the robot and potentially transfer the virus. It might even give a false sense of security. It's not that more efficient because you still need staff filling and monitoring the robot.
How many times do we need to explain that the death ratio of seasonal flue is nowhere near NCOV?Meanwhile, in the US:
Flu season so far: 12K deaths, 22M sick
CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 12,000 deaths, 22 million illnesses and 210,000 hospitalizations and from flu.www.kcrg.com
I mean, nCoV is scary because we still don't know how dangerous it really is and will be, but your vanilla standard ole' flu kills thousands worldwide and noone even shrugs.

Can you imagine how many deaths there would be if there are 22 million infected by NCOV?
What happens when 22 million people have the NCov?? Just stopMeanwhile, in the US:

Well, I'm not a medical doctor but I do have a PhD with robotics programming as research topic and currently work as a researcher in robotics... Someone specialized in medical robotics would be way more qualified to talk about the topic. I'm just commenting based on the video and a few papers I've read and talks I've attended on automated logistics systems in hospitals. Obviously they wouldn't be using robots if there was no benefit.One of the hospitals in America was using a robot to treat a patient in one of the early cases in the US: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/23/health/us-wuhan-coronavirus-doctor-interview/index.html
Are you a doctor? I am not asking to be smart, but genuinely curious if you have the qualifications to determine how efficient these robots are.
Yeah it was posted on the last couple of pages, I think it's legitI'm not sure if this source is allowed, but this is the only place I could find it.
[CHINA] Video is of people being put in a box and hauled off by men in hazmat suits. These people are suspected of having the virus. What makes it so disturbing is that the lady starts screaming afterwards... I can't imagine being put in a cage... Man...
If anyone else finds a better source. Let me know.
Damn that's crazy. Holy crap.Yeah it was posted on the last couple of pages, I think it's legit
Got it, it is always nice to hear about what knowledge and perspective people are coming from. So many people seem to become experts of medicine and virology overnight whenever it comes to stories of epidemics/pandemics so it is nice that you are coming from a position of knowledge.Well, I'm not a medical doctor but I do have a PhD with robotics programming as research topic and currently work as a researcher in robotics...

I get that the comparison to flu feels ridiculous, but everyone seems to forget that as far as we know (which, again, isn't a whole lot at this point, but still), the numbers concerning nCoV are fatalities/hospitalized cases.
For all we know, the number of infections with mild symptoms that are not hospitalized is much much higher, same as it's with flu. Seasonal flu kills about 7% of hospitalized cases, but that's just a small fraction of the total infections.

Yeah, well that doesn't matter to those of us with lung problems already that aren't affected by the seasonal flu, as the nCoV is more fatal to people like myself and others I know who have breathing issues. So yes, nCoV is a far greater concern.
Fucks sake
Very wise observation, if it is the case
Let me know how you feel sick and alone in your room with only a robot bringing you food and meds.

isn't tomorrow when the Chinese New Year vacation ends? what will happen
Coronavirus outbreak: 3 new cases confirmed in Singapore, 4 more discharged
SINGAPORE: Three new cases of the novel coronavirus have been confirmed in Singapore, all with no recent travel history to China, the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced on Sunday (Feb 9).This takes the total number of cases in Singapore to 43. Of these, six are in critical condition in intensivewww.channelnewsasia.com

We have 30K China workers returning to Singapore too. Hope everything will be fine. :|
Well, you know, I've been smoking for almost 25 years, so I feel you.
Individual concerns aside, though, in the absolute numbers, it might end up being roughly on par with flu (and that's still pretty horrible, yes).

Experts have been saying for a week now that there should be widespread testing for the Coronavirus. It doesn't matter if people have been to China or in contact with people in China. I think this further proves that this needs to start happeningCoronavirus outbreak: 3 new cases confirmed in Singapore, 4 more discharged

China really is a real dystopian world like the ones we see in Black Mirror.
