there have been 6 cases in LA county. The one death occurred on a cruise shipofff the coast of California.

The big area of concern is in the Kirkland Washington area
Steve, the epicenter there is an old age home...Natural mortality rate is high there in anycase. old, concommittant disease, immune supressed...

80% of the infected brush off the disease with ease....mild or no symptoms.
 
I believe ONE case recorded in Cali, and State Of Emergency called.
Do you mean Cali Colombia ? That would be a disaster. If the virus gets into
the cocaine supply, it will spread trough malnourished people all over the world :eek:
 
I get what you're saying Norman. As a physician myself, I am not so sure I would be so dogmatic in what you are saying. I understand about virulent bacterial comorbidities but the reality is this is affecting everyone globally whether it be as innocuous as you state
 
When H1N1 went around I and everyone I know who got it had a respiratory infection that lingered for months afterwards, it hit right after you started feeling better from the flu...
 
The Rnaught + death rate percentage could be the difference between a real crisis and something that can be handled in our health care system.

I think that there is no way the Chinese stock market should be perfectly placid -- and rising the last five days.
 
Really Bob? Realy?
So the 1m deaths a month from CVD is no biggie by 25 deaths a month should change the world?

So if Covid20 arrives next year, we should ignore Covid19 as old news? That is prudent to you?

Norm, I don't know what to reply to you; you seem to live in a different orbit.
I'm not looking just @ the number of deaths, I'm looking @ the full picture of the global spectrum.

Yes in 1918-19 the world had more deaths...50 to 100 million from a global population of approximately 1.7 billion. That was then and we can learn from it, definitely we do.

Yes today we have only roughly 3,350+ deaths globally related to Coronavirus, and approaching 100,000 cases (that we know of) ...

This is a new situation, a very serious one I'm sure you agree, in a different world of transportation and with 7.8 billion people (6 billion more than 100 years ago).
This thing is propagating, mutating, is new, relatively unknown, and with greater potential to affect our planet more than it is right now. It could infect 40 to 70% of the global adult population.

It cannot be contained, it is already too late, it cannot be detected, it's like an invisible hacker that can transform itself behind several masks, like a monster from hell, like an ugly bat sucking the blood out of all of us, like a vampire movie but reel. Sorry for the description but you know what I mean.

Brief it's one hell of a virus that seems to be unstoppable. It can slow down and then mutate again, and reinfect people that previously recovered. That's a nasty sunnabaggun of a virus!

Kids can't go to school, elders can't go to church, adults can't fly, Wall Street and all World markets are in full downswing mode spiralling out of control, hairs falling, eyes rolling, as if the entire economy was in suspension and total dependence. And it is because factories are closing, parts are not coming in and going out, people stay home, all public activities are cancelled, all work activity is in slow-mo or from home or nil. Not quite yet but it sure looks like it's aiming for it.

All of this is changing the landscape as we know it.
I said before to look back say three months ago, and look now today!
Three months from now I have zero clue; I just follow day-to-day life and listen to science.
I listen more to expert health scientists than I listen to you Norman...and I kid you not.
You are a friend, a fellow member, a respectable gentleman, and that's why I'm talking to you about this subject...Coronavirus and all the actual facts we are living today from its global implications. I'm starting praying ...

U 2 are a friend Bob but I think u ARE BADLY MISTAKEN. In any case, we shall see by June or maybe even earlier, won't we? I posted a CDC medical research article on the 1918 pandemic. Did you read and digest the whole thing? If you think I am not au fait, how did you think I could pull for that? U won't find that in the popular press.

Last point, if this were multi resistant TB, THEN I would be deathly scared. I have a BBC doc on superbugs that will scare the BeJesus out of you. Unfortunately its 1.7gb....
 
Summer starts June 21st. I've read several articles on the 1918 pandemic by expert health scientists. I touched your link in large part. Digesting is tough nowadays with everything that's going on in the whole world.

I'm highly interested on vaccines, that's why I searched and read and learned.
This is no magic cure, it can make things even worst.

This is the high subject du jours Norm; you are highly enthusiastic in what you write, please support it with stuff we can learn more from. ...Quotes, best articles by some of the best health scientists, videos, etc.

All of us that's why we're here for, working all together to expand our knowledge on high end subjects of actuality. If we die might as well die knowledgeable.

You may die, but not from covid19....much bigger risks out there.

BTW, 91F in Sth Fla today I was just told. Summer started there already!
 
Ron, I think the financial domino effect is coming soon there too...eventually.
I more fear the death toll from destroying the global economy over a soon to fizzle novel virus. That toll will dwarf Covid if the panic gets out of hand.

In such case, it is time starting to invest and become a LoSo billionaire in five years.
 
Why? Are Asians immune to the virus? I think we are just getting started with this virus, and I certainly don’t trust China’s statistics.
