Oh dear!
(They're eating mostly cooked, non-activated garlic though. And as good as garlic is for you in general and as an antiviral agent, it's no immortality pill, of course. )

The virus also kills people with healthy immune systems and it does this by leaving influenza markers on it's host cell as it leaves it, mainly in the lungs.
Your own immune system can then go haywire and eat up your lungs cells, this also means that eventually, all sorts of regular bacteria and funghi spores has a better chance of also causing secondary infections.
This is the scary thing about viruses that like to propagate in your respitory system. There are indicators that it might actually be better, in this case, to have a slightly compromised immune system.
It seems the nr 1 thing with this new novel virus is, don't smoke, and don't live in a area that equals smoking with it's air quality, because your lungs might allready be compromised.

The only semi upside is we are getting Hopefully accurate records from the non asshole countries, so we should have a better grasp of what the virus is capable of.
Really the biggest issue lies in the secondary consequences of this. I feel confident in saying at least 90% of people should recover if they get this, and likely more. However if a large # come down with it at once, it's going to tax ANY medical system in ANY country and people will start dying when they shouldn't, and people will die of other things because all the resources are being taken up by flu victims. I don't even want to know how many people died in Wuhan from regular ailments in the past month.
People can't get their cancer treatment or dialisys or whatever.. It's a mess for people who don't even get the virus.
If countries can keep concurrent outbreaks in the hundreds we should be OK. If it gets in the thousands, God help us all.

RIP.
It's been a wild ride folks.
Will do. I'm employed by the government so there are provisions in my contract for situation such as this, worst case is I get 70% of pay for doing fuck all, most likely case if things get bad is that the kids don't come to school but I'm at my desk anyway just chilling.
Thankful I'm not employed with a private academy.

Might as well end it now right?
I mean since we are fucked, and the world is about to end and all?
Or, maybe, just maybe you are over reacting?
I hate to say this because I know it will trigger the fuck out of people, but healthy individuals in their 30s and 40s die of the flu too. It happens every year, and its caused by the cytokine storm. Looking at the data, I don't believe the percentages are wrong even if the numbers are artificially low. Look at the world numbers, the percentages mach the chinese numbers very well.
Or just ignore it and jump...
Think I am done with this thread, yall are starting to give in to panic.
Yeah, I'm fucking done, all logic has left this thread. Have fun with your misery.

Symptoms cascade ... more than 3 weeks incubation does that ... when you have cases it’s often to late .. the other countries are lucky for now. And who says there are no infections in those countries or even mine (the Netherlands) this virus is hard to detect.

Or Africa I think.
I seriously think they , world leaders do that on purpose, no body wants Hollywood movie stuff , panicking people , but my fear is, if you don’t educate your country they don’t have the tools to Lessen spread, like good hygiëne. And to show that your country is prepared, news bulletins, Amber like alerts with information on how to prepare. It now feels like we see it when it happens ..
to me this feels weird as we life in a world that makes it easy to educate with digital means.

Woman is savagely beaten in Birmingham ‘coronavirus rage’ attack after stepping in to defend her Chinese friend from racist abuse
A woman was punched and knocked unconscious after she stepped in to defend her Chinese friend who was accused of carrying coronavirus.
Trainee lawyer Meera Solanki, from Solihull, was out with friends celebrating her 29th birthday at Birmingham's Ana Rocha Bar and Gallery on Frederick Street.
Miss Solanki was inside the venue with her friends including Mandy Huang, 28, who was visiting from London, when the group were targeted by a group of Asian men.
Miss Solanki said: 'I was having birthday drinks with a group of of girls and guys including Chinese friends.
'There were a group of Asian men inside the venue - one of them kept coming up to me and harassing me. He seemed to have a problem with me being an Indian girl with a multi-racial group of friends,' she told The Sunday Mercury.
Miss Solanki added: 'We tried to ignore him, even when he tried to spit at one of my friends.
'Towards the end of the night - there was just the three of us girls left including my Chinese friend Mandy.
She continued: 'The man came over again and was being aggressive so we left but he followed us.
For some reason he got really angry with her. He started abusing her calling her a dirty c****.
'He said 'take your f****** coronavirus and take it back home.'
Miss Solanki told how she was 'shocked and angry' and shouted at the man to stop while she tried to push him away.
'He punched me in the head, I hit the pavement and was knocked unconcious,' Miss Solanki said.

Life is dangerous!
But yes, when things break down, it's a great opportunity to let go of that sense of control we tend to carry around and cling to. Liberate from the illusion and release the need for (imaginary) security. There is none to be found. Be free and at peace and allow the transient to "transiate". (I just made up a new word. Take that Oxford.
)Asian in the UK tends to refer to South Asians (people from the Indian subcontinent). We use east Asian, Far Eastern or oriental (the latter which is now not politically correct for some reason) to refer to people from Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, etc backgrounds.

Fucking white racist men!

I must admit I was surprised to read that the attackers were a bunch of Asian men. It's first time I've read about a racist attack launched by (brown) Asians towards someone from a Chinese background in England.
