BREAKING: "No evidence" of human to human virus spread outside China, WHO chief says - AFP
Breaking911 (@Breaking911) January 23, 2020

No evidence yet...

You believe them?

That doesn't seem possible with what we know currently

That doesn’t seem possible with what the WHO people probably knew when they made that statement.

We may see a lot of sick people around the world in the next week or so. Incubation is guessed to be about 10 days in most of the models, right?

Posted: 1/24/2020 6:21:13 AM EST

[#3]

Incubation period allows plenty of time to travel or return to overseas jobs.

Plus as soon as people got some sense something was amiss, how many Hunaners bugged out? And when? Days ago? They're still brewing the biological nightmare within, oblivious until...

China has millions of workers in Africa. Many in South and Central America too.

Toss in India and we are staring right down the barrel of a big biological boogaloo.

Same. I have a daughter in school too.

Colleges are incubators.

We are prepped, but I have to go travel in a metal tube all day breathing the same air as thousands of usually sick people in flu season coughing up a lung and walk through airports with thousands of incubators.

My wife has severe asthma. If I bring it home she is basically dead.

I usually take great precautions in flu season, but this is a big unknown

Or when need hit up for TX fathers to kick in and help.

Thanks, but II am in the northeast

Good question.

Since they know there is a novel virus making people sick and some die of it, I really doubt anybody with half a brain is going to go to where all the sick people are unless they themselves are no shit sick and feel like they have no other option,

But i don't know chinese culture, so maybe I am wrong. Maybe everybody wants to flock where all the infected people go.

research has show that flu has remained viable on surfaces for up to 2 weeks depending on conditions.Flu is supposed to be one of the hardier viruses.

I doubt anybody know about the viability of this virus, but usually a highly contagious virus is highly contagious because it stays viable in the environment, ie door handles and such.

If it was me I would sanitize it with UV, bleach, alcohol, heat, soap and water or disinfectant wipes if I was concerned about it.

Professors and Geaduate Students travel to the PRC all the time. Hence why it is a possible problem with Spring Term. All of Computer Science is Chinese Professors and a lot of Chinese Students.

AIDS/HIV, for example, is MUCH more aggressive in people who have the sickle cell trait (which makes them damn near immune to malaria BTW) but there are groups in Europe who are nearly immune to it due to historical exposures to plague.

One of the last go arounds of this, and I can't remember if it was swine flu, bird flu, or SARS, but the infection rates in non-Asian countries was quite a bit lower.
I wish I could find that info again.

The Spanish Flu killed a lot of healthy younger people and it had a second wave after a mutation into a more deadly form. It's biggest threat was the weakening of the immune system and "super infections" due to poor sanitation, hygiene, and again, weakened immune systems. The Spanish Flu was found to be similar to the standard Flu strains.

This could be different than the Spanish Flu and that makes it truly dsmn scary.

research has show that flu has remained viable on surfaces for up to 2 weeks depending on conditions.Flu is supposed to be one of the hardier viruses.

I doubt anybody know about the viability of this virus, but usually a highly contagious virus is highly contagious because it stays viable in the environment, ie door handles and such.

If it was me I would sanitize it with UV, bleach, alcohol, heat, soap and water or disinfectant wipes if I was concerned about it.

I ate Chinese tonight.....

I just had a package delivered from China today.

Wonder how long the virus is viable in packaging?

I guess if we hear about Walmart and Amazon employees keeling over, we'll know.

And that means every single person there has this new virus? Or everyone is losing their shit and flooding hospitals while only having a minor cold.

Good question.

Since they know there is a novel virus making people sick and some die of it, I really doubt anybody with half a brain is going to go to where all the sick people are unless they themselves are no shit sick and feel like they have no other option,

But i don't know chinese culture, so maybe I am wrong. Maybe everybody wants to flock where all the infected people go.

Chinese are... unpredictable. In addition, not always very rational.

Soooo... just like folks here?

Totally serious when I say that a Chinese guy with a cough, looking like he can barely move, just sat down next to me on the plane to LAX.

That's it. I'm dead. It has been a good life.

Fuuuuu....
