The Wuhan Coronavirus

[Mister Obvious]

i always wonder how these 'test kits' are developed so quickly and how they are produced.

Yeah and I wonder what they're REALLY testing for.

The CDC says the patient had two negative tests, warranting a release, but a third test came back positive after the patient was gone.

So he tested negative twice, went out and mingled with the populace, then later tested positive.

We have capacity to contain small outbreaks where possible and mitigate large outbreaks where containment can no longer be achieved. We can prevent epidemic spread in U.S. We're entering a more difficult phase in this virus. It'll require hard decisions by state health officials.

Dr Kim: “We can’t quarantine and treat all patients. Those who have mild symptoms should stay home and get treated. We should change our end goal strategy to lower death rates. Other countries like Italy, that see huge numbers in patients, should also change their strategies too”

In other words, you're on your own.

Their advice appears to be don't go to the doctor/hospital and just stay home.

Scoop: Data we have obtained show that in one Chinese prov, asymptomatic #COVID19 cases exceed 1 in 6 individuals tested positive, but are kept out of published "confirmed cases," suggesting scale of epidemic larger than acknowledged.

1 in 6 positive samples in China were asymptomatic and choice was made to not report those. This information is crucial for epidemiological modeling and developing appropriate mitigating strategies. Reporting all positives as symptomatic or not should be standard reporting.

We're entering a more difficult phase in this virus. It'll require hard decisions by state health officials.

Call me crazy but that sounds eerily similar to what they
said in China just before welding people into apartment
buildings and digging up the roads.

What the fuck, folks?

[Mister Obvious]

Something to keep in mind in the coming couple of weeks: we believe from modeling estimates from case data (https://github.com/midas-network/COVID-1...bling-time) and from phylodynamics (https://bedford.io/projects/ncov-phylodynamics/) that epidemic doubling time is about 7 days. 1/4

This means that 100 infections will grow to 200 infections after one week and to 400 infections after two weeks. After local transmission has started, “there’ll be twice as many infections in a week” is a good grounding to think about how things will behave in your area. 2/4

Because of the lack of national testing that had been going on, there is likely a backlog of cases to be detected. As this backlog gets cleared, case counts are going to rise quickly. But please remember that reported cases aren’t newly acquired infections. 3/4

If US cases more than double in the next week it’s not because the virus is moving any faster. It’s just because we’ll finally be catching up to it. 4/4

King County, WA health officer: "The risk for all of us of becoming infected will be increasing, and although most of the cases will be mild or moderate, the infection can cause serious illness and there's a potential for many people to become ill at the same time"

They're trying to lock down info/numbers right now because the rate of death is so staggering compared to the rate of "known" infections...

Bad bad situation re: public's psychological perception right now.

They're trying so hard to game and control this, it's not gonna work.

BTW, their newest thing is trying to convince the public that kids/teens are immune...

Don't buy that shit.

They may not get hit hard on this wave, but in the second wave young adults and maybe teens could get hit hard.

This wave is for the elderly and immune compromised...

Second wave attacks the young.

And regardless, kids are still carriers.
