Interesting summary of a report on the virus:

quote:

The Journal of the American Medical Association has published a report on the clinical characteristics of 138 coronavirus patients in Wuhan. It details symptoms and clinical characteristics of the virus but give an insight into infections.

Of the 138 patients covered in the results, common symptoms included fever (99%), fatigue (70%), dry cough (60%).

Less common symptoms were headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting.

Most patients received antiviral therapy and many also received antibacterial therapy.

About a quarter of patients in the study were admitted to intensive care because of complications, including acute respiratory distress syndrome. The median time from the first symptom to shortness of breath (dyspnea) was five days, and eight days to acute respiratory symptoms.

The median hospital stay was 10 days.

The study also found that of the 138 patients, 57 were presumed to have been infected in hospital, including 17 patients (12.3%) who were already hospitalised for other reasons and 40 health care workers (29%).

This may go some way to explaining the rapid building of coronavirus-specific hospitals in Wuhan.

The report says “to our knowledge, is the largest case series to date of hospitalised patients” and was published on 3 February.

For the medically minded, I have attached the report here.

8 days to severe symptoms, median 10-day hospital stay, 30% of the infected were healthcare workers! Seems forcing people to quarantine at home may be significantly more effective because nearly half of infections in this study took place in hospitals. For those of you freaking out about soldiers in hazmat suits taking people to hospitals, this is almost certainly why, because when people just walk in off the street on their own they infect healthcare workers who are then out of action for anywhere from two weeks to forever.

It's actually pretty sensible that people would rush to stockpile as much food as they could, sending the price of pork and other foods skyrocketing, whereas they wouldn't be buying new clothes or televisions or the million other things that are part of a CPI

e: Like in the US we include the cost of housing in the CPI, as in rent. How much do you think rent prices have changed in Wuhan over the last month?

There's a swine fever that's already killed 20% of all pigs in the world. It only infects pigs though not Humans.

While traditionally inhumation was favoured, in the present day the dead are often cremated rather than buried, particularly in large cities in China.[4][5] According to the Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA), of the 9.77 million deaths in 2014, 4.46 million, or 45.6%, were cremated.[6]

lol the SO2 release into the atmosphere from Wuhan was off the charts. this wasn't normal cremation of dead people.

that's actually way lower than i'd expect. even US is like 55% and we have way more land per capita

but yeah there's nothing scary about cremating bodies during a pandemic when services are iffy, morgues are filling up and ain't time or resources for managing burials and risk further contagion

China has been advocating for its people to go for cremation since about 2015, and last month the government did issue a policy that all bodies of people that died of nCoV had to be cremated immediately with none of the traditional funereal proceedings because that's what you do in an epidemic situation.
