I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even 500 would be pretty nice.

I haven't been paying attention, is this just another stupid doomsayer thing like Avian flu, SARS, Swine Flu, etc? Or is this actually the plague which is going to kill us all?

It's not as scary lethal as Ebola or the Black Death in terms of mortality rate.

But it's a pretty great example of quickly things can spread now due to globalism and also how you don't need Ebola style fatality rates to cause a massive panic + economic meltdown.

Can't imagine the impact in the US if major cities had to do a similar mass shutdown and quarantine effort.

why would we quarantine any major cities, our superior american diseases will simply out compete this lazy flu and dominate the free market

It was, a bunch of new cases based on CT scans from many previous days were added at once because the diagnostic criteria in Hubei Province changed

The news about the Japanese woman dying is a REALLY big deal. The implications suggest that containment has totally failed.

She died today, and postmortem revealed it was coronavirus. That means it's unlikely any meaningful quarantine measures were taken prior to her death. She didn't have clear contacts with Wuhan, and she started feeling ill January 22. That timeline matches what Wuhan doctors are saying - about three weeks from onset of first symptoms to lifethreatening complications (for the cases that are serious). The timeline ALSO suggests that she was infected 2-14 days earlier. So, maybe as early as January 8, a Japanese woman catches this thing. There's no contact with Wuhan, which means this is a secondary infection - probably a Japanese person, who presumably had a contact with Wuhan. If there were secondary infections outside of China in early January, this thing is quite possibly present in significant numbers in many if not most countries the world over.

Well now I am vaguely wondering if the three week "mild cold into bronchitis" that I had back starting in early January wasn't two things that I got back to back like I thought it was. No way that I got sars 2 in rural Michigan.... or is there?

Yeah, I know. I just figured my young immune system would have dealt with a single thing quicker than 3 weeks, didn't realize that 3 weeks is actually how long some of that stuff can take

Anyway, now that I know I am safe from sars 2, because I 100% had it: good luck, you pieces of poo poo

I am following the cases in southern China, the number still look pretty good.

If you add up the numbers between Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, HK, Macau, you get 1241+222+279+18+53+10=1.9k confirmed cases, and only 5 dead between them. It's safe to say warmer weather can help resist the virus. China's biggest manufacturing base is in Guangdong so at least thats some good news.

Now if you look at the coldest places in northeastern China. The 3 provinces tally up 596 cases, but already 11 dead. This probably can help explain Japan's problem.
