Know a guy in shipping, they’ve got a ship from China that’s wasn’t allowed to offload for 14 days at their next destination, then it got raised to 21.

Plus China’s manufacturing base is always hit by Chinese New Year, and with the mess going on over there it isn’t starting back up.

Everyone’s just waiting.

Yeah there's a good chance I lose my job. We buy pharma ingredients from China, and apparently China and only China possess the raw materials and their precursors and THEIR precursors as well. More than half of our business depends on getting this poo poo, and it's not looking good. My boss is Chinese and I've never seen him look so grim. If this happens across other industries, which it looks like it is going to, we're looking at a massive worldwide recession, if not full on depression. I'm actually thinking about putting my investments into cash.

So 2019-nCoV is causing walking pneumonia and initial reports are 17% of cases in Wuhan led to acute respiratory distress syndrome which has a 35%-50% death rate.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30211-7/fulltext#tbl2

First study from January in Wuhan

quote:

On admission, most patients had fever or cough and a third of patients had shortness of breath (table 2). Other symptoms included muscle ache, headache, confusion, chest pain, and diarrhoea (table 2). Many patients presented with organ function damage, including 17 (17%) with ARDS, eight (8%) with acute respiratory injury, three (3%) with acute renal injury, four (4%) with septic shock, and one (1%) with ventilator-associated pneumonia

https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/3048629/coronavirus-thailand-has-apparent-treatment-success

quote:

A Chinese woman infected with the new coronavirus showed a dramatic improvement after she was treated with a cocktail of antivirals used to treat flu and HIV, Thailand’s health ministry said on Sunday.

The 71-year-old patient tested negative for the virus 48 hours after Thai doctors administered the combination, doctor Kriengsak Attipornwanich during the ministry’s daily press briefing.

“The lab result of positive on the coronavirus turned negative in 48 hours,” Kriengsak said.

“From being exhausted before, she could sit up in bed 12 hours later.”

The doctors combined the anti-flu drug oseltamivir with lopinavir and ritonavir, antivirals used to treat HIV, Kriengsak said, adding the ministry was awaiting research results to prove the findings.

It sounds like a bunch of the HIV drugs have already been sent to China - this is from 6 days ago:

https://www.biospace.com/article/abbvie-to-donate-hiv-drug-to-china-as-potential-treatment-for-coronavirus/

quote:

AbbVie said it was donating more than one million dollars’ worth of Aluvia, a combination of lopinavir and ritonavir as an ad-hoc treatment for pneumonia that is associated with the outbreak. The Chinese government suggested last week that taking two lopinavir/ritonavir pills and inhaling a dose of nebulized alpha-interferon twice a day could benefit these patients, Reuters reported. There are more than 2,000 known cases of the coronavirus in China. The illness has caused parts of China to grind to a halt as health officials seek to contain the spread of the virus.

The decision to use AbbVie’s medicine came after a noted respiratory expert at Peking University First Hospital in Beijing said he was given the HIV drugs to fight the virus after he contracted it following a visit to Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province in central China where the virus is thought to have originated. Wan Guangfa came down with the virus after interacting with coronavirus patients. He told China News Week that the HIV treatments worked for him.

So assuming there's enough drugs to go around, maybe this is a winnable battle

I wonder how many of the deaths were given the HIV drugs vs. how many were not

What's going to be fun is Americans getting this and their insurance companies refusing to cover the drugs for "experimental purposes"

Luckily the HIV and flu antivirals look to run less than $1000 without insurance according to GoodRX
