quote:The number of new coronavirus cases slowed in China for a second day, but it's too early to celebrate, World Health Organization officials said at a news conference. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the fewer number of cases is "good news," but cautioned the public not to read too much into the new data. "The numbers could go up again," he told reporters. "As you know, epi curves can zig zag," referring to a diagram that shows the distribution of cases over time.

Zero One posted:It's not about keeping the people on the ship from getting sick. It's about keeping everyone on land from getting sick. I realize that, I'm just kind of surprised there aren't better options than keeping everyone cooped up on the same boat. They don't necessarily have to go ashore, they could put the people who are almost certainly not infected into another boat, then once the correct period of time passes without symptoms let them ashore. Hell, Japan may even have more than one extra boat! Keeping them cooped up in a room that small seems like a disaster in the making once one person manages to catch it. Of course, no one cares about them because they are basically Indian serfs. It's certainly safer alone in your stateroom cabin, although who knows if its actually safe. I wonder about the air circulation

poverty goat posted:Nobody on the ship is or has been "almost certainly not infected" for some time Then they waited a bit too long didn't they. They could've separated those infected and likely to be infected, in fact the earlier they separated folks and the more groups they created would probably mean several of the groups would end up completely disease free, instead of what we have now where it seems pretty clear that basically everyone on that ship is going to get the disease. Not pretending to be an expert here, just a regular guy. I understand the concept of the quarantine, just wondering if it could've been executed a bit differently.

Do we even know, at this point, what the death rate is? Like, if 100 people were infected with coronavirus how many would likely die? Obviously conditions make a large difference there I suppose but it does seem to be quite deadly for those who get itOrnamental Dingbat posted:There's a video going around of 3 kids being loaded into a bodybag on the floor of one of the hospitals. As lovely as that is I thought part of the narrative was that there have been no cases of infection in kids- was this just another thing that the Chinese media wasn't reporting on? There's a whole lot we don't know about what's happening in China. A whole lot. Don't know anything about that particular video but it's probably impossible to say whether it is what it claims to be unpacked robinhood posted:Did the AIDS/alopecia treatment cocktail they experimented with ever go anywhere ? Wasn't that in Thailand? Yeah I'm kinda curious about that as well. They claimed that it could essentially cure, or at least protect a person from, the virus.

DID YOU KNOW that Pangolins are the most-trafficked non-human mammal? According to National Geographic tens of thousands of pangolins are poached every year, killed for their scales for use in traditional Chinese medicine for treating ailments ranging from lactation difficulties to arthritis. And for their meat, a delicacy among some ultra-wealthy in China and Vietnam. They are the only animal covered head to toe in keratin scales which are somewhat like gigantic fingernails. Though they look and act a lot like anteaters and armadillos, they're actually more closely related to bears, cats and dogs. THE MORE YOU KNOW *rainbow star*

My mom works with the Red Cross in San Diego every now and then. The other day she was conscripted into driving this huge Red Cross truck with supplies in it, things like baby food, diapers, soap, clothes, etc. They went to a store to make sure they had everything that was requested, then drove it to the Naval base in San Diego to be delivered to all the people there in quarantine for the coronavirus. Obviously there are children and babies there. Luckily, she just dropped off the goods in a warehouse, she didn't actually give it to the potentially infected people which is what I thought she meant at first Mithaldu posted:#1 I already know the numbers. Wuhan is 7 mio people. It's about as big as Berlin. Berlin would struggle hard with 50k people suddenly sick. I mean, it's a given that the numbers are not correct. Are they incorrect to the tune of 50k? that's probably a bit much in my mind but I'm just some random idiot and China is quite populous over small areas Luckyellow posted:I've stocked up on masks and food and other supplies but I just realize that I'll need some entertainment while I'm stuck at home. I can't just simply spend a entire month just binging Netflix and posting on the forums. I'll grab a yoga mat so I can exercise at home but fo y'all have any other suggestions for people who's gonna be self-quarantining? where do you live exactly? Saros posted:
wait, what? they do realize that dozens upon dozens of people will be getting in and out of that car and exposed to that uber driver? Maybe the chances are against it but if they're wrong about him not being infected the virus could be all over the city in a week. That seems pretty risky to just determine that he isn't high risk. Also I don't see how being in a car with an infected person translates to low risk

I don't understand any of this Nurge posted:It's also incorrect. For several reasons. But mainly virus is a mass noun in latin. You can't pluralize it. So the plural for english virus is viruses. I kind of just assumed "virus" referred to both the type of virus it is as well as each instance of the virus. Like if you said "I have this virus" you're both identifying it and referring to the countless viral organisms inside your body

I'm not trying to push a conspiracy theory, I think the virus PROBABLY came about the normal way.
