You know, realistically, there's nothing we can do as individual expect to keep ourselves clean and place our faith in the Medical Authorities.

In the meantime, let's entertain ourselves with videos from Chinese social media showing suituations on Ground Zero and in some case, people melting down. Don't think we have that during SARS and I have a bunch here.

That's the news. I don't watch or read it any more, and many people's lives would be a little healthier and happier for it.

I'll worry about this if it comes over here and starts killing a lot of healthy people. Then I'm all aboard the nope train.

Honestly this, when otherwise healthy and vaccinated people start getting sick, it's a problem. The numbers are scary, and not to be ignored. But, vast swaths of China do not have access to current medical care.
I'm not disregarding the loss of life, but there's a big disparity to the quality of healthcare in this outbreak

Heck I'm fine with being sick rather than dead. The big numbers are scary until we delve deeper eg. that storm with the big scary 70 on it is actually in KPH.

Or the big scary virus actually only killed 15 more people so far, in a city of 11m people and a province of 60m. And that's at ground zero. No idea how many were in poverty either, like you say.

Or snakes.
Or members of the weasel family.
Or any of the dozens of other animals they've blamed so far.

I mean white people get a lot of shit for only eating the same 3 animals, raised in farms, but idk, maybe there's a reason we evolved as a culture to move towards raising meat instead of eating whatever fucking vermin happens to crawl through the back yard.

It means nothing in this case.
The Coronavirus are a group of viruses, not a single one. Remember SARS and MERS some years ago?
They are both Coronaviruses.
This new virus is believed to come from snakes, and it belongs to the same family as the Coronavirus.

As for the patent, it is a patent of variant replicase gene encoding polyproteins comprising a mutation in one or more of non-structural protein(s) (nsp)-10, nsp-14, nsp-15 or nsp-16. This coronavirus may be used as a vaccine for treating and/or preventing a disease, such as infectious bronchitis, in a subject.

You're right but we need to be mindful that containment is still important to stop it becoming worse.

Ebola for example killed over 11,000 people. It didn't stop on it's own. It took a concerted effort to get it under control. Yes the media are making the most of the situation but it still requires work to stop it getting out of hand.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-44872418

Yes, the right epidemiological measures do need to take place immediately in order to contain the virus. I just never agree with fear mongering. It doesnt help anyone especially by using Twitter of all places as a source for whats happening.

Lets look at the Coronavirus. It started in China and the infections look to be growing. That much is true. However, people have to remember how unsanitary and urban China can be. Any virus would thrive in those conditions. Naturally, R0 would be higher, right? In countries like the United States for example, even though we seem quite unsanitary at times, it is leagues better than many other countries so our R0 would be lower compared to that of China. In a reasonable doomsday infection, R0 would have to be higher than 2-3 that China is reporting.

I also want to comment on the incubation period people are scared of. Although that is worrisome, please keep in mind that its not a unique trait at all. If you think thats scary, please do not research what else shows no symptoms because you would spend the rest of your life terrified.

Keep in mind, fear mongers, that the flu can kill you in a matter of days healthy or not and that it kills tens of thousands of people here in the U.S. per year. The Spanish flu pandemic from a century ago could a person within two hours of being infected. I believe Ebola had a 90% mortality rate. Corona is nowhere near those levels. As of right now, you have a greater chance of dying from the flu.

Its fine to be aware of this. I knew of it a while back when the first cases started to appear. What we should be doing is spreading accurate information and making sure people are actually educated. Saying things like Its probably in every major US city by now or using the chaos of twitter as a resource isnt accurate. We have to be smart about this and not use medieval tactics or lower ourselves to the quality of journalists looking for easy clicks.
