China's Changjiang Daily, the official newspaper of the city of Wuhan where the virus outbreak began, reported on Tuesday that a team of researchers led by Zhejiang University professor Li Lanjuan have found that drugs Abidol and Darunavir can inhibit the virus in vitro cell experiments.

Futures jump on reports of coronavirus treatment breakthroughs
(Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures surged on Wednesday on reports of medical breakthroughs in the fight against the fast-spreading coronavirus and expectations of more stimulus from China to limit the economic fallout of the epidemic.
A Chinese university found an effective drug to treat people with the new virus, according to a local TV report. Separately, researchers in the UK told Sky news that they made a "significant breakthrough" in finding a vaccine.
Reuters has not verified the media reports, but several traders cited them for the sharp moves in global stock markets. U.S. stock index futures turned positive and the world equity index .MIWD00000PUS moved sharply higher after the reports.
Hey if Wall Street likes it - I'll take it.
Good news on the global efforts to slow this threat down. Cautiously optimistic we can contain this thing.

I haven't seen this posted before. Probably not as real-time/up to date as the Johns Hopkins site, but additional data nonetheless. Still sitting on 11 confirmed cases in the US.

Before yall go popping any more bubble wrap, just remember the air in it is from China.
Shouldnt we be seeing cases in mexico city...
From that CDC link - is this flowchart for medical professionals sufficient? My daughter had a routine checkup this week and apparently one of the first things they asked was about China contact.
Standard screening protocol that gets put in place whenever something like this his. Same for ebola and sars
So, I have relative that works for one of the two large, international shipping companies. He flies a large body aircraft from China to Europe. He lives in a Dallas suburb. He is in a couple of Chinese cities now and has texted us a number of pictures showing how everything is empty in these Chinese cities. He will return to Dallas in just under a week after having gone USA-China-Europe-China-Europe-China for the previous two weeks. It is not a passenger plane, so he won't be returning through one of the required airports for passengers.
I'm guessing his employer and the US government deem these shipping flights essential to keep the critical items for US factories flowing and from shutting down US factories.....but it is very concerning at this time. His union is pressuring the employer, but the employer is just saying "we're keeping a close eye on it and advise everyone to limit contact overseas."
We normally see him a couple of times a week between his trips. We won't be seeing him this next time and honestly, I'm surprised he's willing to bring himself in contact with his teenager upon his return. I'm afraid he is going to be upset with our position.
Please don't quote this message.....thanks.

My wife took our daughter in for vaccinations yesterday and went through this protocol at the onset.

Some first hand anecdotal info -
Coworker's parents live in Wuhan so this is direct from the parents in Wuhan, not an anonymous internet post. The parents tell her it is much worse than anyone is reporting.
The elderly parents have a "small circle of friends" (what does that mean? fewer than 50? 25?). Of the small circle of friends, 5 have died from the disease. These are not health care workers in high risk environments but simply elderly residents in Wuhan. 5 dead in the "small circle of friends".
Parents are telling her that food is very hard to come by and they spend all day trying to figure out where to get food.
Parents are also telling her that all of the funeral homes in Wuhan are begging for any plastic bags (trash bags or other plastic bags) to put bodies in for transport because they are all out of body bags and normal supplies.
-
So that is first hand info from a known source, not an internet hero in their basement making stuff up and scaremongering for clicks.
That sounds like zombie apocalypse stuff. This is not last year's flu season.
I'm not heading for the hills (yet) but if I am paying attention to what is happening and the possibility of this spiraling out of control if it gains a foothold outside of China.

That has been one of my biggest questions. How the hell are these people getting food? The articles talk about shutting down supermarkets, etc., then you have all the people barricaded into their buildings.Hogties said:

Surely not everyone has months of food stock piled.
Spoke to my grad student from Wuhan yesterday:
I said, "I heard they could go outside once a day for food and necessities?
Take it for what it's worth. IIRC, his family has been quarantined for going on 2 weeks now. Could start to get real bad soon.

Funeral homes looking for body bags? That's got to be worth 3 ticks on the apocalypse scale.
My thought as well.
If you're locked into your apartment or even just the building is barricaded up, how the efff are you suppoed to get food?

Yesterday it was 8...today it is 11.

So what about all the Amazon shipments that have crap made in China? Surely there is risk there of quickly and easily spreading this already.
Good, the cruise ships have ****ing ruined so many tourist locations
the cure is to lock everyone in their homes until all the sick people dieQuote:

Two types of people on this thread the doomsdayers and the 'Oh this is nothing crowd'. You are both annoying as hell. Facts please and good links would be appreciated.
Several cities in northern Italy did this the the 14thC black death pandemic. Sad to say it worked relatively speaking. No not advocating this approach just saying its happened before.TexasAggie_02 said:the cure is to lock everyone in their homes until all the sick people dieQuote:

So basically it's either starve to death or die of disease or starve, have weakened immune system, get disease and then die.
If this is real then it's going to decimate China. They may not actually recover from this, ever.
Well dang, you were more apocalyptic minded than I was...Bobcat06 said:
I'm around -30 on your scale. (-50 is Apocalypse +50 is Nothingburger)
Leaked Chinese videos and actions look apocalyptic. Hoping other races are less susceptible
Not convinced it's a bio weapon, but definitely open to the possibility.
Hopeful that it gets contained, but still stockpiling groceries in case SHTF
To Recap:
20200205 - 1036CST Scottimus Scale
(-50) Apocalyptic--------------------------------V------------------0--------------------------------------------------Absolutely (50)
50 Dashes Each Way, 0 = Reasonable Action/Concern
Currently: -16 from 0 (reasonability), -66 from Absolutely nothing, +34 from Apocalyptic.
I am open to edits and other interpretations.
Current "Ticks"
Novel Corona Virus = -5
50,000,000 People Quarantined (5%) of population = -5
Large Scale "Hospitals" in Public Venues = -5
Funeral Homes (Wuhan) Looking for Body Bags = -1
People in communist countries don't eat. Duh.Brad06ag said:That has been one of my biggest questions. How the hell are these people getting food? The articles talk about shutting down supermarkets, etc., then you have all the people barricaded into their buildings.Hogties said:

I would probably be at -21 on your scale.
-5 for economic impacts starting to show. Macau casinos closed, Hyundai shutting down their SK plant, flights cancelled, infected cruises, etc.
