New Paper: Coronavirus more transmissible than previously thought. R0 is possibly 4.08. That would make it completely uncontainable.

First case reported in nyc.

Reports of people leaving Newark Airport (in NJ but very close to NYC) from a flight from China and able to get into a cab within 30 minutes, zero quarantine, zero temperature check (which is mostly useless at this point).

Reddit Q&A:

https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/ewwmem/have_a_question_about_the_2019_novel_coronavirus/

Q: "Are there any obvious signs that separate it from traditional flu?"

A: Yes, actually. The majority of cases so far have resulted in a fever followed by a cough followed by shortness of breath, but rarely sniffles or sneezing.

If you're symptoms are predominantly a stuffed nose and sneezing, which are typically the first symptoms of a cold or flu, then you likely don't have the coronoavirus. None of the 99 patients from the original study of hospitalized patients had a runny nose or sneezing as their first symptom, most of them didn't have it at all.

leave it to china have have a bio-weapon error/accident that spreads worldwide.

& democrats want to bring the chinese style government to the USA!

bernie 2020!

Haven't posted an update in a while...came across this, translation of a video:

In an exclusive on the new coronavirus, the number of deaths greatly exceeds those release by the Chinese regime. Actual numbers could exceed official numbers by 10 times, with no less than 200 deaths per day in Wuhan.

Sources tell us the Hankou funeral cremator operates 24 hours a day. It has a capacity of 30 cremation furnaces.

For example, Hong Kong based media report an elderly woman named Leo Rong was sent to the isolation ward nine days after getting infected, but died within a few hours.

Her body was immediately sent to the Hankou funeral home for cremation.

According to the article, 14 to 20 creators were all operating around-the-clock.

It takes a crematorium on average 1.5 to 3 hours to process a body. So the total number of dead being processed by the 14 cremators of the Hankou Funeral Home would be closer to 112 to 224 per day.

On January 28th, an article surfaced on a number of mainland China news websites, titled: "Wuhan Civil Affairs Bureau announces exemption of cremation charges for the remains of patients who died in the epidemic. The reason was the sheer number of family members complaining to the civil affairs bureau and the funeral home of the cost of delivering and cremating corpses. The usual cost is 12,000 yen.

A manager of a funeral home in Wuhan told The Epoch Times that the government demanded all cremation of dead bodies due to the virus be handled by the Hanhou Funeral Home. The government also supplied the funeral home with multiple vehicles to help meet the demand.

Epoch Times tried dialing the Hankou Funeral Home several times but wasn't able to get through. When a reporter told a different funeral home about that, the worker said it was because the Hankou Funeral Home was too busy.

A few days ago a cry for help came from a medical staff (employee) in Wuhan on social media. In the recording, the lady said she faced a large number of infected people every day without being able to cure them all. She also said the actual number of infected people is more than 100,000.

Amid tears, she explained there were more than 100 patients being seen by medical staff that day, and that the majority of them are now dead.

Since the Communist Party Health Committee began announcing the numbers of infected and dead on January 23rd, the ratio between the two has been around three. If the numbers from the medical staff are taken into account, the number of death among the 100,000 infected people should be around 3,000.

Gilead trades on Nasdaq as GILD

Gilead Sciences has partnered with Chinese health authorities to conduct a randomised Phase III clinical trial to assess the use of antiviral drug candidate remdesivir (GS-5734) for the potential treatment of coronavirus.

The company originally developed the drug to treat the Ebola virus, but it was found to be ineffective. Preclinical tests have revealed that the drug may help treat the new 2019-nCoV virus.

The drug was found to show encouraging results when administered to the first US patient infected with the Wuhan coronavirus, according to a publication in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

The US patient was given remdesivir for compassionate use on day seven of illness and their clinical condition was observed to have improved on day eight.

In Beijing, China, the new placebo-controlled Phase III trial of Gilead¡¯s drug will be performed at Friendship Hospital. The study is set to enrol 270 patients with mild and moderate pneumonia caused by the coronavirus.

Gilead is said to be expediting the laboratory testing of remdesivir against 2019-nCoV samples and working with the Chinese authorities.

The company said in a statement: ¡°Gilead is working closely with global health authorities to respond to the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak through the appropriate experimental use of our investigational compound remdesivir.

¡°While there are no antiviral data for remdesivir that show activity against 2019-nCoV at this time, available data in other coronaviruses give us hope.¡±

Remdesivir is yet to be licensed or approved. In-vitro and in-vivo analysis in animal models demonstrated the drug¡¯s activity against Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which are viral pathogens with structural similarity to 2019-nCoV.

The Wuhan coronavirus currently lacks cure or specific treatments. Gilead¡¯s drug is among the first to enter clinical trials.

I find this believable, from Reddit:

I have a friend in the USA who has friends who are doctors working in the Coronavirus ICU in Wuhan. (5 Feb 2020)

Here are the facts:

1. The number of reported cases (20k to 25k) is the number of people admitted to hospitals. It is NOT the number of people infected. The number of people infected is at least 10 times higher.

2. It costs $100,000 to save a patient.

3. Treatment involves breathing assistance equipment and antibiotics against respiratory infection.

4. A 12 day stay in hospital is not unusual.

5. Hospitals are currently overwhelmed and are turning people away.

6. It is completely unknown how many people are infected because, of people who are not admitted to hospital, few are ever tested.

GILD missed earnings, yet stock up over 5% today, also hitting a new 52-week high.
