I'm already immune-compromised in other respects so I was already frightened of the flu and basic colds, so a spontaneous superbug scares the stuffing out of me. No shit, if it hits where I life I will quit my customer service job to avoid touching hands with people and getting sneezed on.

I’m Chinese and my parents are actually in China for Chinese New Year right now (but far away from Wuhan, the city the virus originated from). I’m much more worried for their sake.

They say that around 70% of the people in the city are wearing masks right now, but for the most part, people don’t go outside anymore, and New Year festivities are canceled which is a big deal in China.

I’m more worried about my grandparents since they’re elderly in their late 80s, so have weaker immune systems.

I've been laughing at how the news took this so seriously to think that this virus was gonna be the end. Now I've just found out that my dad spent a hundred bucks my family doesn't have on soup and crackers just in case every store in the city sells out and he's terrified if anyone so much as coughs.

This disease is on the other side of the world in the unsanitary, crowded, disease-ridden China. Everything will be fine here, things are being blown WAY out of proportion.

The end goal of the news in china is different from the end goal of news over here. If even the totalitarians got freaked out, that says something, because it would disrupt the harmony and compliance that they angle for.

It's probably a virus lying dormant in more people than reported due to a lack of testing. For instance, Thailand relies heavily upon Chinese tourists and Asian backpackers and only has 37 cases. Seems sus. Other countries lack resources to carry out tests, or fear that taking it as seriously as a "potential" pandemic would incentivize mass panic and crash the market. Furthermore, two weeks isn't long enough for self-quarantine. Numbers point towards 30-90 days.

The morality rate is somewhere between 15-20% internationally and excluding Chinese data (since CCP is underreporting numbers for their "China strong" party image). That isn't so bad, but imagine if millions of people get infected. Most of the cases are mild. Patients at high risk would be those with pre-existing medical conditions or in poor health. The problem would be if hospitals become overfilled like in China, and the doctors have trouble giving proper care to the infected, leading to worsened symptoms.

While I do think that most people on this board will be fine, I believe that the media downplays the impact of Corona-chan to quell fear. Once governments acknowledge that this is a threat, it will be too late to control by then. I'm not going to stock up on hundreds of dollars of soup in crackers like >>46302 's dad, but I will make sure I have enough food to last me through two week, given that I'm actually in Asia. Iran and Italy of all places have become infected. A cult-esque religion in South Korea may have spread the virus to 20% of a town close to Seoul. Wash yer hands, Anonettes. There will be more countries impacted in the following months.

You're absolutely right. There's just so many people and it's crazy! For every one person 300 years ago, there's 14 people now!

No one cares about each other anymore. There's too much noise, too much chaos. The end is going to come sooner or later at this rate and it'd be much better for everyone if a large portion of people were culled by a disease rather than annihilating the planet.

But >>47951 is also right. I'd like to believe that the Corona virus will be the apocalypse, but all the signs say that this'll blow over in no time. The best we could hope for is a few million to die? That hardly puts a dent in the sardine can that Earth is becoming.

nta and I don't know if the post is fake / if the date is edited considering the Italy predictions etc., but I have some experience in genetics and the bit about how some Brazilian bat mutation is totally going to up mortality to 15% doesn't make any sense to me.

The best information you could have about something like this would be extremely hypothetical, like some old guy researching a receptor XYZ in the immune cells of some Brazilian bat for 40 years, then reading that the coronavirus binds to a similar receptor in humans, then getting excited that his research is finally relevant and coming up with some vague hypothesis for how if the virus adapts to these bats, it could maybe have worse effects on human lung tissue.

But most hypotheses like this are false because finding the correct theories in genetics/biochemistry is difficult and takes laborious experimental tests, and even if the hypothesis were true, the virus wouldn't just mutate exactly according to this theory right when it meets the correct bats in Brazil. I mean I could be wrong, maybe there's more information about these things available than I know, just seems dumb to me.

You're probably posting ironically, but as a Chinese person who's originally from Beijing, this makes me happy somewhat.

When I grew up in Beijing, I remember the sky being so beautiful. I grew up near Heaven Temple (ancient temple in Beijing) and I remember going there and lying down, looking up at the stars in in the clear night sky. Nowadays you can't see that because there's just so much smog.

There's an old guy I follow on wechat (Chinese social messaging app) who's been making videos of him walking around in empty palaces and hutong (traditional Beijing streets/alleyways) during the coronavirus outbreak. While the coronavirus outbreak is definitely not good news, I can't help but feel like you can really feel the beauty of my home city when the streets aren't filled to the brim with people. It's nice, and my dad says that it's the way things used to be when he was a kid, especially during winter months when they stayed home to keep warm.

There was recently a story that came out suggesting that the virus had mutated into a new strain, but on further examination of the paper being referred to, the mutation in question was only 3 bps (IIRC the coronavirus is 30Kbps, so that's a difference of 0.01%). This virus has been out spreading for nearly 3 months now, so to have only diverged by 3 bps compared to the "original strain" is good news.

What they're talking about in terms of Brazilian bats is technically true, but highly unlikely. The only real way for this virus to significantly mutate is via recombination (viruses "sharing" DNA/RNA). The "getting to Brazilian bats" thing is a nothingburger too. People in Brazil don't have regular contact with live bats, and likewise we'd have to assume that the bats there are also harboring some compatible viral RNA, and that the virus would not only be able to make the jump to bats again, but that after spreading to bats, that it would spread back to humans. Unless we're talking on a long time scale of ~5 years, this is pretty magical thinking.

Vaccines aren't just, "found." They have to go through clinical trials like all other medications. Current estimates put the ETA of a vaccine at 1-2 years.

>>49201
You're half right. Certain viruses can go dormant by being neuroinvasive, where they're able to avoid detection by the immune system. But the vast majority are not. Also, viruses don't really cause "permanent changes" in people. Otherwise humanity would be a bunch of cronenberg monsters within a matter of years. The immune system is very good at recognizing compromised cells and destroying them; that's what being sick is: your immune system literally killing all of your infected cells.

I will say, however, that there was one paper I read which found the capability of this virus (as well as SARS-1 and MERS) to be neuroinvasive. That said, to my knowledge, there's been no follow-up studies done on either patients who have recovered from any of these viruses to determine possible sequelae.

This dude succesfully predicted the stock market crash in march, and that Italy would have been the first western country to shut down
The post was written in january, there wasn't even any significant case in Italy in january, just a couple of chinese tourists in a hotel in Rome, unrelated to the later outbreak in Lombardy, they were above any suspicion
Can it really all be just a coincidence?

Wrong
As you can see, France and Germany already had a handful of cases by that time, following your logic he should have bet on those countries
Hell, even the US and Canada had their first cases before Italy
Also, as i've already said, the two turists in Rome were quickly isolated and put into a hospoital, and they are unrelated to the later outbreak in Lombardy whose origins are still unclear, which as you can see is only discovered on the 21st of february

this guy mixes up a bunch of truths with distorted info or downright wrong things, be careful with this kind of alarmist posts. What he was saying about the Chinese lying about the causes of death doesn't really work like that. Obviously all the other diseases continue to exist, and many patients have died because they didn't have access to the best medical treatment, because the system was overwhelmed with the infected patients. Those deaths weren't caused by the virus. Also someone who has a terminal heart disease and dies because the virus exacerbates the disease shouldn't really be counted as a victim of the virus directly, because what killed him was the original illness, in rigour.
The number of infected patients is a lot higher than reported, but that is not such a bad thing considering those unidentified cases are mild enough to go undetected, and it means the death rate is lower than we think. Calculated R0 depends on the measures taken to contain the virus so it makes sense that it was higher in China during the initial stages.
be careful but don't panic.

You won't die even if it was covid, most likely you wouldn't even get symptoms worse than that. It can be dangerous to young people but quite rarely, especially until hospital max capacity is reached. We should avoid contact with others because the disease can still suck a lot even if you don't die, and so we don't infect (directly or indirectly) older or sick people, or take up a spot in a hospital.

Also a stuffed nose is rare with this virus, but very typical with the common cold, so most likely you have something else. Just don't take ibuprofen, the research is inconclusive but some have suggested it can make covid worse in young people. Hope you get better soon so you can stop worrying.

It's an uneducated person thing. My mom also says there's 0 casualties. Her reasoning is that people who die of other complications but have covid get written off as covid deaths. Also, there's no covid deaths because she's seen 0 people in her facebook feed or in her circle who is infected or has passed due to it. She says "back in the day when someone was infected, starving or dead, everyone in the neighborhood knew, we heard from people themselves, now, no one is saying their family is sick, it's only fake people dying." And she says that everyone who gets tested comes out infected for some reason, but if it were like that everyone would be infected. The rates would be much higher.

So she says, "doctors don't actually know what covid is. they just get a protein that all humans have and they're told its what covid looks like. also they get a test kit but they don't know how it works, just how to use it." This bitch thinks doctors don't know what a protein looks like. She went to med school and came out a ""nurse."" is this the power of soviet education?

Of course the disease itself has had no effect on anyone I know (I don't know anyone who's gotten it) but I haven't been able to have a proper meal in ages because the stores are always sold out of the good stuff.

Yesterday at a barbecue people were talking about getting the shot and literally every one reported getting sick. But they acted like that was normal and not a big deal. They just laughed it off like "Oh yeah I was barfing everywhere lmao."
Then they asked me if I've gotten mine and I said no.
Response:
>Shame on you.

I didn't get nausea myself but it's listed as a symptom you can expect on the official list of vaccine symptoms from the CDC so I don't see why it would be far fetched at all.

yes, as one of the less likely symptoms. what's the likelihood ALL of the ppl at this bullshit barbecue had nausea? most people report soreness throughout their body, headache, chills, fever… nausea, much less so. anon is full of shit, just listen to him/her

Anyone else kind of missing the Corona? Like it was dreadful, don't get me wrong, but it was just a little bit exciting to have a little incident going on.
I especially miss the early days of Corona when the store shelves were completely empty and people were preparing for the world to end. I've never seen anything like it!
Now the Corona's just completely vanished from people's minds. I hope this BA.2 becomes a problem, I just want more action!

I'm sad it didn't lead to the collapse of society. I wanted to put all the post apocalyptic media I've consumed to use. I didn't even get a toilet paper shortage where I was.

Don't worry, WW3 is brewing and ready to erupt aaaany day now.
It's going to be a lot more interesting than Corona too.

I was promised landwhale genocide. I did save 10h of commute time a week though.
