Human testing to start as early as April.

Great news. By then there's probably still some people alive to benefit from a cure.

The Atlantic bit seems to have a good statement.
No containment, it is going to be an additional strain of cold/flu.

The high virulence coupled with mortality being much lower than other members of the coranavirus family is... reassuring to say the least. That and the high asymptotic values seemingly being the case also could be considered a blessing since it technically means the infected stat is understated but severity/mortality overstated.

Don Rumata · « **Reply #547 on:** February 25, 2020, 07:46:21 PM »

Even with a relatively low mortality rate, having to spend time in a hospital in general, sucks ass.
Depending on how severe the pneumonia-like symptoms are.

OnlyRegret · « **Reply #548 on:** February 25, 2020, 07:48:24 PM »

It sucks to have it, but it seems to be shaping up to be like regular flu, and therefore as Huff put it earlier. If you never gave a shit about getting a flu shot you shouldn't bother getting crazy over this.

i'm not going to bother re-reading the article but if i remember correctly, the author seemingly went to great lengths in avoiding comparing corona's symptoms, rate of infection and mortality rates to seasonal influenza and instead focused on the one area they are similar in that they both contain RNA strands, and depending on how they mutate, we will either have seasonal vaccinations or one end all be all vaccine. the point being is that, this is one more fucking thing to worry about which you can't possibly spin as being a good thing or something to not go crazy about.

there still isn't enough meta-analysis on the virus itself but the one i linked earlier doesn't paint a good picture.

This is probably the best article I've read on the topic. Check it out.

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/02/covid-vaccine/607000/

To basically echo this article the more reassuring thought on the beer aids I saw was that the people getting taken out by this are either babbies or the super old, if you have a normal healthyish immune system you'll be shitting a ton for two weeks along with dealing with a fever and various other not so fun stuff but you're not really all gonna die here.

Not for long!

Hit up Costco today and barely came home with anything I planned to get. They were out of water and most dry/can goods. This was shortly after SF declared an Emergency, but didn't take the effort to explain what that entails to the masses. I'm gonna hit up a few stores tomorrow to build out a solid month of supplies, since I didn't have anything before. I'm not freaking out yet, but as someone who has pre-existing conditions I'm taking precautions while I can.

I can't believe the state of things right now compared to just a few weeks ago. It's almost as if China and WHO massively fucked up and we are all gonna pay for their mistakes. Doesn't help that we got whack jobs in SK apparently (don't know if I buy it since it's being so heavily pushed by Chinese media.) I do kinda wonder where the cross over with Iran is though, was it through Canada allowing Chinese travel?

Anyways I wait to see if this mutates and is a smart virus or a lazy one that we can work with. If it doesn't mutate we could potentially wipe it out, if not thanks China!

I was set to travel to China in April too before this all started, Air Canada won't even cancel/refund my flight yet.

I think the scarier scenario or possibility is that you can carry the virus and not show symptoms at all.

So, you could (theoretically) go to a family party and accidentally infect grandparents or nieces and nephews and have no clue.

But I guess that's true of the normal influenza bug also. So, it's not anything new.

It looks like the true incubation period can be as long as 27 days but everyone's being quarantined for 14.

Oh you mean known infections/transmissions that occurred here. Maybe there's been some spread that isn't super well known since we don't really have a CDC right now.

What about that one Chicago couple? https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-coronavirus-patient-infected-spouse-in-1st-human-to-human-case-in-us-cdc/2210301/

Doesn't that count? By the way. I'm an innocent one. When they say "close contact" is that just innuendo for intercourse or what? Like is that what human-to-human means or could it just be through touching ones skin like say holding an infected person's hand?

Edit: Like I mean isn't everything human to human like a flu or chickenpox or whatever you get from some random person sneezing on the bus you were sitting on? I don't really get it as I'm assuming every person with this virus got it from another human no?

Right, I mean after patient zero is infected though from whatever source, it's then basically all human to human from that point on, no? Especially if it spreads quickly.
