3.4% death rate

Wow

Back to academy for more ammo.

Sure. Hold up a sign stating that you were exposed to the Coronavirus so that I know who you are.

Of course, you've got to think that the number of under reported cases that are either asymptomatic or extremely mild probably pushes that fatality rate way down... maybe? Fingers crossed and prayers said

Well yes, I suspect that the criteria for testing is leaving many cases untested. The number of infections could be 2x the numbers being reported.

Recent study from China said practically no under reported or extremely mild cases

Yes, I'm sure the people in China interviewed told the truth in that study considering the consequences. You'll more likely to get a truth out of somebody pulled over at 3am swerving in and out of traffic. It doesn't pass the smell test.

This is the same area where Chevron closed their office b/c someone was infected...

No proof this video is related to COVID19...

Where did you see the Chevron employee was confirmed infected?

This may have already been mentioned, but when talking about the mortality rate shouldn't we be comparing deaths to cases that have a confirmed outcome? There are only two outcomes in this case, dead or recovered. The other 48,247 cases would be "pending outcome". According to figures I just checked at (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/)

2,771 Deaths
30,359 Recovered
33.130 With either outcome
48,247 Currently Infected

2,771 / 33,130 = 8.4% Mortality Rate

again, how many times - that is not the death rate. the death rate is how many stiffs vs how many people are fully recovered.

they arent pushing those numbers, but with a 3-4 week course, this calculation will remain way low for as long as the number of infected keeps going up.

right now, the numbers are about 14%... they should go down as more people recover.... but of course the numbers are all fake anyway.

Roughly equivalent to the very similar MERS or SARS at about 8% if that holds.

This one is tough because it takes people a long time to recover.

best crazy ass thing I have seen yet is "this is 5g activated human kill switch"

but a bunch of leftists did start today worried about it because MSM mentioned it briefly.

Funny how each person tries to one up on their death rate calculations.

At the same time they claim none of the numbers from China can be trusted.

Still better than 100%, 80%, and 60% people were throwing out weeks ago.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Corona Virus/Wuhan Flu/Chinese Flu 1000x More Likely to Bind to Human Cells

Coronavirus far more likely than Sars to bond to human cells due to HIV-like mutation, scientists say


  • Research by team from Nankai University shows new virus has mutated gene similar to those found in HIV and Ebola
  • Finding may help scientists understand how the infection spreads and where it came from

The new coronavirus has an HIV-like mutation that means its ability to bind with human cells could be up to 1,000 times as strong as the Sars virus, according to new research by scientists in China and Europe.


The discovery could help to explain not only how the infection has spread but also where it came from and how best to fight it.

Scientists showed that Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome) entered the human body by binding with a receptor protein called ACE2 on a cell membrane. And some early studies suggested that the new coronavirus, which shares about 80 per cent of the genetic structure of Sars, might follow a similar path.

But the ACE2 protein does not exist in large quantities in healthy people, and this partly helped to limit the scale of the Sars outbreak of 2002-03, in which infected about 8,000 people around the world.

Other highly contagious viruses, including HIV and Ebola, target an enzyme called furin, which works as a protein activator in the human body. Many proteins are inactive or dormant when they are produced and have to be "cut" at specific points to activate their various functions.

When looking at the genome sequence of the new coronavirus, Professor Ruan Jishou and his team at Nankai University in Tianjin found a section of mutated genes that did not exist in Sars, but were similar to those found in HIV and Ebola.

"This finding suggests that 2019-nCoV [the new coronavirus] may be significantly different from the Sars coronavirus in the infection pathway," the scientists said in a paper published this month on Chinaxiv.org, a platform used by the Chinese Academy of Sciences to release scientific research papers before they have been peer-reviewed.

"This virus may use the packing mechanisms of other viruses such as HIV."




This explains the HIV drugs:

Chinese researchers said drugs targeting the furin enzyme could have the potential to hinder the virus' replication in the human body. These include a series of HIV-1 therapeutic drugs.

Go back three weeks from February 3rd to January 12th:

41 Confirmed Cases (worldwide)
7 Severe
1 Death
763 contacts being monitored

https://www.who.int/csr/don/12-january-2020-novel-coronavirus-china/en/

Sooo yeah it's moving fairly fast.

This is amazing: we are about 3 months into this and we still have almost zero effing clue about the true nature of this virus because this thing started in lying China.

It's been mentioned that roughly 900K die per month in China, so had bad must this be for China to take the draconian actions that they have.

What would be useful to know is how many of that total normally die each month in the Wuhan area, where the most drastic actions have been taken.

I've got two young ones at home, 6 and almost 2. Should I be concerned for them? I haven't really rad anything about children getting ill from this illness. Anything I can give them to help from getting infected? We've already done all of our prep shopping (water, gatorade, canned goods, pasta, elderberry, vitamin c, etc.)

I am not sure how much you can do to keep from getting infected (could be wrong!?!) but i think you have reasonable measures should there be a point where schools, work, etc get cancelled and maybe supermarkets and restaurants shut down for a week or two or more...
