Good news!
South Korea's coronavirus cases continue to decrease
After weeks of triple-digit increases, South Korea reported 76 new coronavirus cases today.
This brings the national total to 8,162 confirmed cases and 75 deaths, according to the South Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Seven new cases are linked to a cluster at a call center in Seoul, and 41 new cases are from the southern city of Daegu, where the outbreak has been concentrated.

Hmmm, may have misread but I think it was a person with covid 19 who infected people in a bus, and it was caught on camera. Infected even people who got in after they left and up to 4.5 meters away. But study was retracted for unknown reasons.
I'm not sure what the truth of the disease is, but I think it might last longer than two weeks in your system. Of the top of my head I think it can be up to about 20+ days, but some rumors say it has come back 10 days after recovery in some cases, so that'd put it over 30+ days if true. I've also heard people without symptoms can spread it, which if true is problematic, because someone might catch it within a quarantine zone sometime during mid to late quarantine and get out with the virus.
edit:
Rumors are some people actually can get it and be almost asymptomatic yet be able to spread it. Is it true? How many weeks would the disease last in their systems if so?
edit2: it is interesting that people can take up to two weeks to develop symptoms and then up to 8 weeks to die in some cases. For a total time of up to ten weeks with the disease in the system.
This has been addressed but again it seems over 50% of cases requiring hospitalization are under age 60. Also I've heard 11% of cases face serious complications so it is only 89% with mild symptoms according to my sources.
I heard several provinces were on lockdown, not the entirety of china. So what stops areas without lockdown from having seen growth and spreading it back to the areas with lockdown? Or was the entirety of china on lockdown?
Rumors are entire families had metal bars welded to their doors locking them in with no ability to get any more food.

Clinical Characteristics of Patients With 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)–Infected Pneumonia in Wuhan, China
This single-center case series describes the demographics, symptoms, laboratory and imaging findings, treatment, and clinical course of 138 patients hospitalized with 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)–infected pneumonia (NCIP) in Wuhan, China, highlighting presumed human-to-human...
jamanetwork.com
This is what a study from China says
In this single-center case series of 138 hospitalized patients with confirmed NCIP in Wuhan, China, presumed hospital-related transmission of 2019-nCoV was suspected in 41% of patients, 26% of patients received ICU care, and mortality was 4.3%.
Of 138 hospitalized patients with NCIP, the median age was 56 years (interquartile range, 42-68; range, 22-92 years) and 75 (54.3%) were men. Hospital-associated transmission was suspected as the presumed mechanism of infection for affected health professionals (40 [29%]) and hospitalized patients (17 [12.3%]).
Now this is one case study and not representative of all numbers of course.

Better than herpes!
I feel like this is going to get seriously really real come Monday. I'm still not super spooked about the virus but about the other repercussions we'll all feel because of it.
We are supposed to list our house for sale next weekend.. What are the odds that's even an option this time next week? Ugh.

Newt Gingrich is living inside the nightmare that is Italy. Here are a couple of things he says:
www.newsweek.com
- Faced with a pandemic threat, history teaches us it is far better to be over prepared than underprepared.
- If you are older or have other illnesses, you may simply not be eligible for treatment.
- if America begins to have the Italian scale of deaths, we would be losing 5,000, 10,000 or 15,000 Americans. If it really got out of control, the rates could go higher.
- Italy has a unique vulnerability to coronavirus, because it has the second oldest-aged population in the world.
- However, America has a uniquely vulnerable population, too. There are tens of thousands of homeless people in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
I Am in Italy Amid the Coronavirus Crisis. America Must Act Now—And Act Big
Italy's drastic measures are not an overreaction. President Donald Trump and Congress must do even more to protect the American public and economy.

Well my job is probably fucked (at least for a while)
I work for Verizon and on Monday the CEO will be making a statement about store closings.
This whole thing really sucks. I’ve got some vacation time and a decent savings but seriously this is so frustrating. My job is my livelihood and it pays pretty damn well.

A friend of mine live in Australia. Says he wasn't feel well, just walked into his local hospital, got tested, was in and out in 10 minutes easy. Not the same here. Not sure if that's everywhere in Australia right now.
Also wanted to share this. Les is my lord and savior when it comes to disaster scenarios.

To be fair, the guy on the right gave a semi-reasonable explanation. According to him, he drove around his rural, unlikely to be hit, area and bought up the stuff from dollar stores and whatnot, well before the panic came to america. And he was figuring this wouldn't harm the local supply chain and would allow him to ship what was sitting on rural shelves to distribute to a national market for a slight markup.
While it's not something i would do, if we take him at his word it's actually a reasonable idea and not as scumbaggish as most scalping enterprises. Of course, he could just be trying to make a buck off fear, and his inventory quantity is insane.

That’s besides the point.
Because they like their people to die? Come on guys , don’t re-invent te wheel ..
WHO thinks the same, what The Netherlands and UK want is not what you try with this virus ...
You would overwhelm the health systems and dead counts will sky rise .
I am expecting the WHO to act up.

The science of soap – here’s how it kills the coronavirus | Pall Thordarson
Alcohol-based disinfectants are also effective, but soap is a highly efficient way of killing the virus when it’s on your skin, says chemistry professor Pall Thordarson
www.google.com
The solution is evident. We need to eat soap. Maybe the tide pod eating Millennials knew about this beforehand and were warning us the only way they knew how. By social media and memes.
same with the trump covfefe tweet. Wait.... no... could it be...
...sweet essential oils and chakra....
The survivors!! They built a quantum computer that could tweet back in time. Yes the brilliance of it all. My god. Science is real! Science is real!!
just eat soap.

I think it’s just for visual reference.
the virus is covered in fat which I guess binds to your hands. But using soap repels the fats and the virus contained within.
Like I reported in the Netherlands.

Without staring into anti-vaxx territory, is everyone going to be OK with taking a very limited clinical trial vaccine (especially regarding long term effects).
It does look like some previous research can be used:
Here are the phases of usual clinical trials. Phase 3 usually takes 1-4 years for approval and only 25-30% drugs go beyond this phase
They are talking about taking shortcuts and maybe adapting the animal tests (whcih are being discussed with the coronavirus). I work in healthcare, and I have no issues with vaccines, but I am concerned about seeing something developing after 3-5 years after agreeing to take it at the height of an epidemic.

That’s not entirely impossible. We already have conditions that affect certain groups disproportionately such as sickle cell anemia so it’s clear there’s enough biological difference for that to be a thing, not such a stretch for a virus to be affected.

Man I was at a chemist in London yesterday that had kids calpol and some random flu medicine. I text my wife. I asked do we. need any. It’s 100 ml it’s good for the plane etc.
(I already brought the kids calpol one bottle)
She went nah we’re fine we have some France has some all good. Like don’t worry.
So in usual husband style I had already got the kids medicine. So instead of admit it. Be called a panic buyer. Etc.
I decided I’ll keep it give it to someone at work who has kids. Which I did.
this morning I get a text from her asking to get some kids medicine and some adult paracetamol. Because she doesn’t want to go the pharmacy. Yeah Good luck me finding it again. (Ok maybe that might be an over exaggeration maybe not)
I swear you can never win. Ever.
