UK Government says no. quote:Based on current evidence, Wuhan novel coronavirus presents with flu-like symptoms including a fever, a cough, or difficulty breathing. The current evidence is that most cases appear to be mild.

Would rather have this than Ebola because at least with this I’d only be dying instead of making GBS threads myself inside out and dying

He said he is concerned that the outbreak is coinciding with flu season and impacting health systems. Is he saying that its only having serious effect on about 1 in 5 people?

Fojar38 posted:It's worth remembering that this virus emerged in early December and the CCP was actively covering up its severity until mid-January. The virus probably managed to leave China in that time and if the "complications for 1 in 5 people" thing is taken at face value then we should have seen more pronounced effects outside of China by now if this had the potential to reach Spanish Flu levels of pandemic. I’m guessing it’s complications for 1 in 5 people who we know have it aswell. If the symptoms really are mild for some people then there could be some people who have this thing and not even realise it.

Delta-Wye posted:The official numbers are not jivving with the first hand accounts I'm seeing of overwhelmed funeral homes, etc. Either the chinese posters/translators I'm reading are LARPing or the official deathtoll numbers are bullshit. Kinda feels like that scene at the end of Ghostwatch where they realise the calm live feed they’re watching of the haunted house is pre-recorded and when they reboot the system they find that it’s actually in loving turmoil.

Bape Culture posted:Errr have you been to the doctors coz the uk cases are literally from York op If you’re seriously concerned then the NHS procedure is to call 111, explain the situation and then they will advise. You’re not supposed to go to the doctors or go out at all if you suspect you have it because that would risk further spread. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/wuhan-novel-coronavirus/
