Does this one give you wild fever dreams? Because the time I crawled across my house to be sick in the toilet so ‘Sonic didn’t lose his coins from India’ was something.

This:quote:The WHO said a case in Vietnam involved human-to-human transmission outside China and a Japanese official has said there was a suspected case of human-to-human transmission there too. Would seem to indicate it can be transmitted even before symptoms begin, which is pretty worrying and could easily mean we start seeing a lot more cases pop up over the next week or so all over the fuckin place.

Cool cool. So like I thought it's scary how fast it's spreading but it's just a global case of the sniffles. Not belittling those that have died. It sounds like that might have happened if they caught the common cold as well, unfortunately.

Imagine everybody was suddenly monitoring everyone who had the flu, and whole cities would be closed down. That's what this is at this point. The main concern seems to be that China is incredibly unreliable about everything so nobody knows just how bad this thing is so far.

The main concern is preventing further spread because it's pretty deadly, there's no vaccination and worry about this virus becoming a mainstay for the future.

My rule for situations like this is to not get concerned until people start dying in countries with top-level healthcare systems and legit reporting systems. Even Ebola has a significantly lower mortality rate with proper medical management.

One of the problems is the pneumonia where people require respirators to survive and there aren't hundreds of thousands of respirators for the millions of infected.

It is very deadly compared to other diseases that can spread without symptoms (flu's dead rate is 0.X%, yet still kills 5 digits people most years). The risk is a flu-like disease that is 30x as deadly, which at an individual level isn't much but as a population level is a huge deal.

Or, something that keeps the same death rate of the flu but has twice the R0 value, where sheer numbers means that small death rate comes out to hundreds of thousands or millions instead of tens of thousands.

When ebola happened they had a test vaccine ready in a couple of months after not researching it almost at all for 30 years. The second rich white americans are scared they might get infected the research machine kicks into overdrive. Right now rich white americans are very scared they'll be infected

Ebola was also a very rare disease with unpredictable flare ups that killed less than 2,000 people in 40 years. There weren’t even 10k cases before the 2014 outbreak, it wasn’t something where you could even properly test a vaccine since an outbreak would burn out so fast. There were way more factors to it than “rich white people are scared now”

Ebola had 2376 cases before the 2013 outbreak, with 1583 deaths. That’s why there wasn’t a vaccine for it. poo poo was incredibly rare until it managed to hit the right place at the right time and start spreading like wildfire.

The real danger with this virus is not that it's particularly lethal, it's that it seems just severe enough and infectious enough to overwhelm healthcare even in those countries where it's actually decent. Yeah, proper care on the ICU may be enough to let most people survive... but no city has enough ICUs to keep thousands of patients.

hemale in pain posted:it's probably been around for longer than a few weeks honestly. probably a few months. The earliest medical news I was sent when this all started to hit western media was from 03/01. It had by that point already been identified as likely coming from the seafood market and had infected some 40 people, up from 20 in late December. If I had to guess based on those numbers, the infection rate and incubation period before symptoms, I’d guess latter half of November/early December.
