That taxi driver in Japan has given it to two other people. One of the people he infected at a new year's party attended by 100 people (mostly taxi drivers), and 10 others now are running fevers. Also, another taxi driver was confirmed to have it, this time in Okinawa (since Chinese cruise ships often stop there it's not a huge surprise). I spend 2 hours every weekday on Japanese trains, so this is wonderful news for me.

Allergy season is just around the corner and that will push up the ratio even more. Of course, there's always gonna be that fat, slovenly businessman on the train who coughs without covering his mouth, and he's not gonna be masking it up any time soon. Also all the masks are cheap disposable paper masks that don't really seal off everything.

It's still hard to tell and nobody has firm figures yet, in large part because it's impossible to believe the numbers China is putting out and most cases are there. It's looking like anywhere from 2-20x as deadly as the flu and maybe a bit more contagious but a lot of people don't have symptoms worse than a bad cold. R0 estimates go as high as 7 (aaaaaaaaaaa) but most i've seen are closer to three. Incubation period is all over the place but most cases seem to be under a week. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.12.20022434v1 if it becomes a proper pandemic it's not the end of the world we can rule that out at this point but it has the potential to bring even developed countries health systems to their knees by the sheer amount of people that require hospitalisation. The economic effects are also difficult to estimate because of how interlinked the modern world is. Overall, nobody really knows yet! Saros fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Feb 14, 2020 |

I am reading a HK forum. One HK female passenger was told by the Japanese authority her test is confirmed, but she has been left in the windowless cabin with her husband for more than 24 hour so far and still waiting for the ambulance to pick her up. I thought the patients get sent to hospitals right away after confirmation? Apparently not. And the husband's test result need to wait 4-5 days to come back. That's loving terrible. I thought Japan would do better than China. But if they are still dragging their feet with this bureaucracy poo poo the whole ship will get infected. HK news link

If she's stable there's no pressing need to move her from one quarantine to another and risk infecting more people

she's elderly and therefore at high risk of complications, and she's being kept in the same room as her husband who is also elderly, and they're in a cabin with no windows so they get to spend outside time on the deck with other people they need to get them off the loving boat yesterday

Foul Ole Ron posted:We joke but Ik just wondering what the actual danger/what effect this virus actually has. The disease punches way above its weight in odd ways. Many people don't get severe symptoms, but it spreads aggressively, and the people who have severe issues require oxygen to one extent or another. On TOP of this, as a virus that seems to have never infected humans before, it appears to be mutating furiously. You may recover from your infection and get infected by a related strain a week later, while still recovering from the first bug. Current speculation is that because China ignored the problem until it was impossible to ignore it any longer, it settled in, contaminated entire hospitals and may have been infecting and reinfecting people. Over and over again. Until hospitals simply ran out of oxygen tanks for all the people who needed to be put on oxygen.

i really need to save my sources but i read this morning that the virus can grow very well in the throat without making its way into the lungs which both is a clue for how it spreads when people aren't necessarily feeling awful as well as how easily it spreads as it's easier to get the virus into your throat than it is all the way down into your lungs. apparently

Looking around further, I'm not sure direct evidence of reinfection has been published. But everyone is definitely saying that this bug is more unstable genetically than other members of the family. Mutations are not just likely but expected. This could get very wild.

Not even close, only two samples were fully analysed and we're practically completely identical "HKU-SZ-002a and HKU-SZ-005b differ from each other by only two bases. One of them is a non-synonymous mutation at amino acid position 336 of non-structural protein 4 (Ser336 for HKU-SZ-002a; Leu336 for HKU-SZ-005b; figure 4)" Partial rt-pcr was done on 5 samples which confirmed it's different from SARS etc. This paper literally states the opposite of what your saying. Your left and right but probably would differ more genetically.
