Novel CoronaVirus (COVID-19) Updates & Discussion

[Creag]

Strap in boys, this will be fun! Ive got my cabin hidden in the mountains, reloading kit, antibiotics and lots of fresh water. Oh yes, and a year's worth of weed.

This is where all those prepper channels start making mega-bucks again.

If this is the matrix then I fear Covid19 might be the "Format C:" of our time

unless you drink Corona every day
then you have "Format C: /mbr"

The Animal Origins of Coronavirus and Flu

China is in the midst of an epidemic caused by an emergent strain of coronavirus. The World Health Organization formally named the disease COVID-19, and the Coronavirus Study Group named the underlying virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV-2. A cluster of unusual pneumonia patients was first detected in late December, and the novel coronavirus was officially identified as the reason on January 8. To date, it has caused over 78,000 confirmed cases and 2,445 confirmed deaths, primarily in the Hubei province of China. It has spread to 29 countries or territories so far, including the United States, which has 14 diagnosed cases, and an additional 21 cases in individuals who were flown back to the U.S. after infection. One U.S. citizen has died of the virus in Wuhan, China. Naturally, the disease has left a lot of questions in its wake.

Have we ever seen anything like this before?
Yes. In fact, SARS-CoV-2 is the third pathogenic novel coronavirus to emerge over the past two decades. The first, discovered in 2003 and named SARS-CoV, caused SARS, a serious and atypical pneumonia. The second, MERS-CoV, emerged a decade later in the Middle East and caused a similar respiratory ailment called Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). Since its identification, 2,494 cases of MERS-CoV infection and nearly 900 deaths have been documented. The SARS-CoV epidemic proved larger but less deadly, with approximately 8,000 cases and nearly 800 deaths.

The Animal Origins of Coronavirus and Flu

Zoonotic diseases like influenza and many coronaviruses start out in animals, but their biological machinery often enables them to jump to humans.

well, when WWII started ... you were on the wrong side you axis powers son-of-a-whore!

I bet you the people of London panicked more when your Nazi allies dropped bombs on them than they are panicking now

if the matrix is running in a windows command prompt or a variant of DOS then it deserves to be formatted and tossed in a bin ...

These are all healthy strong people. Now Imagine what this virus is going to do with the masses of HIV infected Africans. Genocide is not the word...

if that happens ... let us hope they die from corona before the EFF/ANC convinces them it is a colonial disease and civil war breaks out

Nothing, the protease inhibitors they are taking for HIV are already effective against COVID-2019.

Quite ironic, this whole situation.

Just watched a vid on CNN website talking about the South Korean outbreak. Some religious group had members in S.K. from all over the world for the funeral of their leader at the end of January ... including mention of South Africa

If you have COVID-2019 and live in SA don't bother going to a hospital, just go to a pharmacy and tell them you will be having unprotected orgies for a week and you need some prophylaxis Protease inhibitors. In fact stock up now and sell them later

What was his angle when he promised to revive US manufacturing?

Algeria reported its first case.

Algeria reported its first case.

Germany did too, someone from Italy who strolled across the open border
