>>11380663Also, here's what I've gathered:
-Wuhan has been known for it's bio-weapon lab and China has been known for accidentally releasing SARs, rumors of Canadian bio-weapon being stolen (it's all probably nothing)
-Thankfully low ~2-4% death rate for first infection (close relatives: SARS 10-17%, MERS 40%)
-Testing does not work well, doctors have tested themselves 5 times in a row to confirm an obvious infection (confirmed)
-Doctors have resorted to lung scans to report cases, which is why it jumped in one province
-Basically airborne (all but confirmed: entire cruise ship was being infected, during a no contact quarantine)
-Hit during flu season and the largest migration of humanity, Chinese New Year
-Is easily dismissed as a light flu for majority of first cases (confirmed)
-Confirmed cases are just a fraction of real cases (size of international spread has all but confirms this)
-Re-infections are possible (very likely, reported by doctors)
-Second infections have had an immune response that destroys the heart (rumor, likely possible, lines up with deaths of some doctors, reported in patients by doctors, videos of people collapsed dead in street)
-Researchers have been ping ponging between R0 ranges: was 4.4 to 6.7 yesterday, now 1.4 to 3.9 (uhhhhhhhhh)
-One Japanese taxi driver 'drove some Chinese-looking-person for 15 minutes' and caught it (confirmed)
-'Hidden Carrier' time of an insane 24 days (not proven, but likely)
-WHO is openly saying it will hit the world, buying time for a vaccine and anti-virals (confirmed)
-CDC has requested the testing of 'all flu-like symptoms that are not the flu' for corona virus, in 6 major US cities (confirmed)
Ultimately I think this is going to be like a very, very bad super flu that becomes seasonal. And the argument 'the flu kills more' is really fucking retarded because the seasonal flu is from the last fucking time we had a major virus outbreak that killed millions, we could never get rid of it after that.
