Moscow reports one case, the patient of which just returned from Milan, Italy. This is the 3rd case in Russia (the two cases before are Chinese tourists; both have recovered).
Yep, it was just a matter of time.Indonesia reports its first two cases
Indonesia confirms 2 coronavirus cases: President Widodo
JAKARTA: Indonesian President Joko Widodo said on Monday (Mar 2) that two Indonesians have tested positive for COVID-19, marking the first confirmed cases in the country. He was quoted as saying by Kompas new site that the two Indonesians had made contact with a Japanese person, who viswww.channelnewsasia.com
I've accepted that the virus is already here since last month. It never made sense that it wasn't here yet.
You will still be immune-compromised if you stop taking your RA drugs. The nature of RA makes it hard for your body to fight off infections regardless of the drugs you are taking so if you stop your medication you will be susceptible to COVID-19 AND in miserable pain.
Whoever is telling you to stop is giving you astoundingly bad advice.
This has always been disgusting. Hopefully people get paranoid enough after corona to not cough all over their hands and touch every pole / button possible in public transpo.
Wow my mom just told me that they (some "experts") said on the radio here in Germany that everyone will be immune in 2 months because everyone will be infected by then. But not to worry, most cases are not much different than when you have the flu. Very mild so to speak.
Fucking ridiculous. Everyone in two months with a 20% rate of people that need care in the hospital. That would be ~6-8 Million additional people in hospitals per month just in Germany if you take the two months he suggested. With a death rate of 2% that's 1-1.5 Million dead by the end of May.

El país is reporting that a patient in Sevilla was cured using a HIV drug:

NHS advisory
My husband read they are saying it is possible that it's been in circulation for 6 weeks in Seattle. Keep in mind we (Seattle) now had had a few cases they don't know where they got it from so it has been passed through people who have not been to China already. His is the first time I'm wanting to stay on the east coast (we are on vacation and we fly back today. We live in lynnwood, right next tot he town where the teenager got it).
It's been in China for 3 months already and still only a small percentage of their population caught it, "everyone" within 2 months is pushing it
I sneeze into my shirt if that helps. I don't think anybody gonna be touching my bare chest during my commute.Yep.
This is the correct way to cough and sneeze:
My 10 year old son has Cystic Fibrosis, so I'm really nervous about this reaching us. I live in rural Ky, so I feel safer for once living in a shitty town.
We seen his specialist recently and he seemed very concerned, but said since China doesn't really have a CF population we don't really know how badly it will effect them.
I hate seeing people on FB downplaying it as nothing, people really cannot think about anyone other than themselves. Even had an old teacher I really admired make a long rant post about how she was sick of hearing about it, ugh.

That's with way more draconian measures than most European countries would be ok with though.
Will we see a German land in total lock-down though?
Edit: but the 2 months estimate is pretty hyperbolic.
The vireologist of the Charité in Berlin thinks 60-70% of the german population will be infected over the next two or three years.
This sounds a bit more realistic. The key is to have a vaccine and a proper cure for the symptoms as quick as possible to limit the number of people who need intensive care.
but we'll have vaccines so they won't know they're carrying?
Probably already posted but this story is about to hit cable news here in Texas: https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/san...tient-who-later-tested-positive-for-covid-19/
More draconian than most of the world would tolerate tbh. The WHO assessed that most don't have the systems in place to make this remotely feasible.
The vaccines will be available in one or two years probably?
The reporting on potential vaccines seemed hopeful. I sure hope so.
I saw a rather sharp friend downplay it as "as contagious as the flu and less deadly than SARS". There's a goddamn gulf of information missing in that handwave of a summary.
I'm not sure about that. I mean if the virus was already widespread in Indonesia, wouldn't we have seen pictures and videos of hospitals and people being sick on social media. Maybe the heat and climate did affect the spread of the virus? In any case, I hope it stays contained.
People are starting to get a little panicky though, supermarkets are so crowded. Saw this guy on twitter stocking up on the good stuff lmao.
I don't know where this originated (my mum just sent to me) but seems pretty legit advice.

Only stocking up I've done is 3 months supply of dog food.

That's just ridiculous. We're not heading into a nuclear holocaust.People are starting to get a little panicky though, supermarkets are so crowded. Saw this guy on twitter stocking up on the good stuff lmao.
The point 3 it's not yet proven as far as I know. And seems disproved by the fact that Singapore got a number of infected people. I guess we'll see.
If it's any consolation, I read there was a case in Rhode Island. It's not going to be prevented from spreading. People who don't know they have it will have already passed through airports or gone to major events.
Wash your hands. Take sensible precautions. If you catch it and can stay home, do.
Here in Germany politicians (Seehofer) say by the end of the year which is also extremely unlikely.
First cases in Florida -
www.tampabay.com
Florida’s first coronavirus cases found in Hillsborough and Manatee counties
The Hillsborough case is an adult with a travel history to Italy. The Manatee patient is an adult resident without a history of travel to restricted countries.
You need a lot of time to make a vaccine, 3 or 4 months isn't enough
If all hell breaks loose you could also eat the dog food.
I'm not even kidding. Dog and cat food has to be safely edible by humans by law worldwide.
If you can actually keep it down lol, I'd rather eat the dry dogfood
Point 7 sounds like Chinese folk medicine and/or TCM. Neither cold nor warm liquids are going to have any effect on a pulmonary virus.
The History Behind China’s Obsession With Hot Water
Parched throats across the country gasp for refreshment served at searing temperatures — but where does this tradition come from?
Not sure if this NY Times article was posted (I'd imagine it was since it's from two days ago), but I think it gives some nice, level-headed information about the virus and how it compares to the seasonal flu.
Not to be taken as a dismissal of course and I don't think the article does that anyway. Just a precaution in that sense.

How Does the Coronavirus Compare With the Flu?
As new cases appear in the U.S., some — including the president — have compared it to the seasonal flu. Here’s a close look at the differences.
Also to note:
Not everyone who buys things in bulk is a panicked citizen. Many food stands buy their ingredients from discounters and supermarkets.
Even if initial vaccine research is swift, any resulting vaccines have to go through many months (or longer) of testing on animals and then humans before they go in to mass production. And it's going to take a long time after that before there's enough vaccine to go around - patients with cardiac and respiratory health issues will get priority for the first batches unless you're willing to spend a lot of money privately.
Will be a very long time before you can just get a vaccine sadly.
Italy pretty much applied the same measure for some city.
And not all city were affected equally.
Looking at it, seems strange that SARS has similar transmission rate, didn't we already surpass the number of SARS infected?umm here you go:
that's not a downplay at all that's reality.
Maybe China didn't botch the initial respose to SARS, I can't honestly remember much about it
I'm not sure about that. I mean if the virus was already widespread in Indonesia, wouldn't we have seen pictures and videos of hospitals and people being sick on social media. Maybe the heat and climate did affect the spread of the virus? In any case, I hope it stays contained.
