Even going by the official numbers it has a 14% lethality rate. The flu averages a 0.02% lethality rate.

That's literally the ratio of dead / (dead + recovered) right now.

No, it's not accurate yet because the outbreak is still ongoing, and the nature of the statistic deaths count immediately but recoveries don't count until some time later. But that's the official value, per China itself.

Why the hell do you idiots not realize that the quarantines happened specifically because it's related to SARS, despite not being severe right now? The entire point is that while still being mild, its viral family made the government want to take precautions in order to curb its spread instead of letting it run wild because, as anyone who knows about viruses knows, things could change for the worse at the drop of a hat.

>> No.11392500

How much does the CCP pay you, Li?

It has nearly doubled SARS already in both infections and kills. And it's still growing. There is an out of control outbreak developing in both Japan and Singapore, and containment has completely failed within China.

>>11392468
That is literally how lethality rate is calculated. If you include the people currently suffering then the stat is completely fucked and pointless. Only completed cases count for a reason -- then, the stat measures the chance of someone dying vs someone making a complete recovery.

If you include the people who are sick but not dead, then the lethality looks much lower the more virulent the disease is, as the inflation of new cases outpaces the deaths. Dead / Total sick + recovered is basically useless unless you goal is to mislead people.

Not really.

1. This is /pol/ logic, like how /pol/ in the first few weeks said that the lethality was 60% because 60% of concluded cases were deaths. Among those 60% a grand majority were elderly and/or had pre-existing complications.

2. With the above /pol/ logic, scientific studies came to a 14% lethality rate by taking into account that most deaths were the elderly and/or people with complications.
https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2020.25.3.2000044

3. Using the "/pol/ method" the current lethality rate (after the construction of the emergency hospitals) is 14%.

The above dictates that the real lethality rate is far below 14% and actually makes the 2%-3% that WHO maintains plausible.

Read all your articles. All articles in January or later, mentioning that first cases certainly appeared in early December - no one is arguing this. When the Chinese govt acknowledged the existence of a novel pathogen, however, has yet to be stated explicitly. Note that this isn't the same thing as investigating people sick with an unidentifiable bug. Very different things.
>trusting Chinese reporting
Yikes, but this is immaterial. And where do you think Western news articles get their info? You think a journalist doesn't have the same internet access as a random schmuck on the interwebs?

If the info you're arguing for so angrily is easily available you would've provided a single article proving your point, but all you've posted is links to articles hypothesizing when the first cases were most likely to have happened (strawman Dorothy), CDC reports, a WHO page for the virus (lol), and nothing that demonstrably verifies your claim.

By this logic they would just say that the fucking virus didn't start until late December, right before the quarantines went into place. This would make them look better and more competent. But they openly acknowledged that the virus started in early December and that the quarantines didn't begin until early/mid January. For all intents and purposes, by your train of thought, the former is what they would do if they were lying.

I went ahead and compiled some links to provide a neat little timeline of events as they unfolded. Note that until Chinese researchers confirmed it was a novel coronavirus, it was only regarded as a pneumonia-causing pathogen, a weird influenza of sorts. Note further that in your original post you said that "by the time he leaked the virus the gov't already openly acknowledged it?" The gov't was still investigating the virus and the doctor, who knew ahead of time that it was a "SARS-like virus", was trying to bring attention to it. This article:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/13/world/coronavirus-timeline.html
states that the Chinese didn't identify the new virus until "days later" after Dec 31 - i.e. January. This article
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/timeline-china-coronavirus-spread-200126061554884.html
says that was Jan 7. I think we're arguing different things. I am arguing that the Chinese gov't didn't acknowledge that it was a NOVEL CORONAVIRUS until Jan 7,hence why they tried to silence the chinese doc from blowing the horn before they could confirm it. Until that point, it was merely referred to as an unusual pneumonia, the reason why the doc felt compelled to so eagerly report his findings. So no, the Chinese weren't already acknowledging it in this way. See what I mean?

>> No.11396374

>>11396361
The point was that they had acknowledged that this thing existed in December, dumb ass. Which is exactly what my entire point was. Not knowing that it was specifically a Coronavirus was not a part of the argument. For fucks sake. The fact that investigators were on the scene in Wuhan in December is proof enough that they obviously knew something was happening. Not knowing exactly what is irrelevant.This was never my argument. do you not know what the term "acknowledged" means? It's to notice or recognize something. My argument was never about "identification. Work on your reading comprehension you dumb mother fucker.

>> No.11396404

>>11396374
Let me ask you this: Why would the doctor feel the need to sound the alarm if "the government had already acknowledged it"? Why would the gov't try to silence the doctor if they "had already acknowledged it"? These are easy questions, which should hopefully illustrate what my point was initially.

>> No.11396417

>>11396374
Nitpicking here (not really lol), but the def. of acknowledge is "accept or admit the existence or truth of," in this case the novel coronavirus. The Chinese had not done this when the doc did. They acknowledged a "potentially new virus," but not a "new coronavirus". It really does seem like a small detail we're arguing over, but for some reason you're very mad. We can just agree to disagree. I've a meeting anyway. God bless anon.

Newsflash, moron, acknowledgement has multitudes of general meanings. Not knowing about something then learning it exists and admitting that it exists is "acknowledgement" even if you don't know exactly what it is. The definition you posted even alludes to this. Accepting that something exists is acknowledgement, it doesn't say that you need to specifically know what it is.

You calculate mortality by dividing the dead from the total population in question within a certain time frame, moron. You don't exclude people who are sick just because it makes your argument look better. Yes, the outcome on their illness is still in question. No, they are not dead yet. This is always how mortality was calculated. The mortality rate is obviously a rolling figure which will change as time goes on and will not be set in stone until the illness in question as been dealt with.

This can mean many things. Like other people have mentioned, people may have gotten sick/recovered but never bothered bringing up to anyone. Maybe the government is hiding numbers. Either way, this also means that the recovered and dead are also under reported and not just the sick/dead. All figures would be under reported here, not just one of them. In which case if you're so convinced that the numbers can't be believed, nothing matters and even your own mortality rate figure is moot because obviously the numbers you have aren't true.

ACE2 receptor density seems to have some genetic variation across populations; maybe dravidians and middle-easterners aren't as vulnerable. (This obviously didn't apply to MERS.)

you can't engineer a virus senpai. and even if you claim its possible, how would you go about it? its one of the smallest lifeforms in existence.

you can't culture it, and you can't make it reproduce without a host, then how the fuck are you going to engineer it?
the reason we have all of these nasty viruses is because populations around the world are becoming more dense despite 70% of the earth is not populated. and then you have these sickos in china eating snakes because "muh meat". they deserve it, let them burn

it goes airborne. but it could be literally anything because the chinese don't create shit. they either pay someone to develop that stuff or they tweak or mix it with other stuff that they already have because it is cheap or because they just don't know any better/don't care. also the release had to be "accidental"

Because it wouldn't have been designed to kill off a large percentage of humanity, it would've been designed to put the country on lockdown, justify even more tyrannical measures and surveillance and crackdowns on dissidents and critics and magically make everyone forget about Hong Kong and Taiwan and Xinjiang.. and Tibet.. and the social credit nightmare game being unleashed on mostly unsuspecting citizens now etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Except it's failed at pretty much everything except being fairly viral and moderately lethal. Which is why if I was considering this theory I would be inclined to believe this was a last-ditch effort by the upper CCP echelons (who, remember, are also locked in a perpetual conflict with every non-retarded Chinese upper hierarchy person who do want China to one day become an actual democratic, open and free country) borne purely out of panic and desperation.

If you're going to critique this line of thought then at least don't be a total dumbass and assume it was made to kill billions (even if that might be a possible outcome if it picks up the worst mutations or genes and we apply Murphy's Law to it). Then again, I wouldn't put it past the CCP what with their bodycount, but I just prefer to assume the CCP elite roughly on average posses the IQ of let's say a dog, rather than that of a turnip (which is the most unflattering way I could think of, of calling them morons but not actually so incredibly stupid they'd want to unleash a killer virus on the world, although I suppose that's exactly what the P4 Lab was meant to be researching so even that may be a gross overestimate of their intellect and underestimate of their boundless cruelty).

It's a matter of time before a majority of Chinese citizens realize that despite the government's best efforts they can never censor, remove or filter all online dissent. Which eventually emboldens the public over time. When you hear reports that the CCP is working overtime to hire more people to monitor internet usage then it logically follows that currently they do not have that (enough capacity). And we're hearing this pretty frequently over the last years. I mean we know the tendency of networks like the internet, and even China's heavily filtered and censored version of the internet, to proliferate and thrive like no other technology in the history of humanity, and this:

Legionella spp. enter the lungs either by aspiration of contaminated water or inhalation of aerosolized contaminated water or soil. In the lung, the bacteria are consumed by macrophages, a type of white blood cell, inside of which the Legionella bacteria multiply, causing the death of the macrophage. Once the macrophage dies, the bacteria are released from the dead cell to infect other macrophages. Virulent strains of Legionella kill macrophages by blocking the fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes inside the host cell; normally, the bacteria are contained inside the phagosome, which merges with a lysosome, allowing enzymes and other chemicals to break down the invading bacteria.[15]

This guy's hypothesis is that COVID-19 hits the Chinese harder due to an incredibly shoddy vaccination program in China against SARS that actually made its population more vulnerable against something that should literally be "just the flu, bro". It's why, if I'm not mistaken, all fatalities except maybe the two new ones in Iran (about which the Iranis are being incredibly secretive) are Chinese. It's a hypothesis that makes some sense, and would also explain why the Chinese don't want any information to leak. It would mean the Communist Party completely fucking up the deal they have with the Chinese people: we take care of you, you shut the fuck up and tolerate everything we do.

Basically he cited the R0 the WHO decided on early during the crisis of 3.8, started his tweet with an all-caps "Holy mother of God", called an R0 of 3.8 a sign of a "thermonuclear pandemic" (without explaining what "thermonuclear" even means in the context of virology) and claimed that he had never seen an R0 that high in his entire career. Even though SARS (you know, the other coronavirus disease that everyone keeps fucking comparing COVID-19 to?) had a roughly equivalent R0 and the measles has an R0 of 12-18.

For me, that remains the dumbest thing anyone has ever said about this crisis and a lot of laymen actually bought this. Luckily a lot of other doctors on Twitter pointed out just how stupid this guy is. Hopefully someone has his retarded tweet archived.

About 5%, actually. Someone called one of the crematoriums in Wuhan and convinced them they were from the government and got all kinds of info from them. Namely, that they have been cremating 100 to 130 coronavirus victims daily since late January, and that only about 20% of those are officially diagnosed as coronavirus victims; any death without a proper diagnosis is not classified as such, even if it meets all the signs, and 60% of the dead never made it to the hospital (or went home after they saw how overcrowded they were).

There are five such crematoriums in Wuhan, all about the same size. If we take the lower bound of that number and extrapolate it across just February, you get to 10k deaths right there.

Correct, but the first conclusion we should draw for that isn't "bioweapon".

Tests check the upper respiratory system, when the disease starts out in the lower respiratory system. It's why China started diagnosing people with CT-scans and X-rays, which allows you to check the lower respiratory system.

>Incubates for a month
Dubious. There has been one instance of which the Chinese claimed it had a 28 day incubation period. Claimed. It's entirely possible that the Chinese faultily tested. It's why no health organization takes one case as being representative. More information/research is needed but... y'know... China. Even then, the grand majority of cases have incubation periods of up to 5 days.

>Tries to kill you with pneumonia
Yes, just like the flu in very severe cases.

>You can get reinfected
>If you do get reinfected you can get a heart attack
Look at the full message Taiwannews reported
>“It’s highly possible to get infected a second time. A few people recovered from the first time by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart tissue, and when they get it the second time, the antibody doesn’t help but makes it worse, and they die a sudden death from heart failure.”
The problem appears to be the medicine used rather than the virus itself per se. But this is another case where more data and research is necessary, rather than the word of one doctor.

>If you survive that somehow it can go for your reproductive organs
IDK, I guess. It's not "somehow" though, it's associated with the same way it damages the kidneys.

Wrong. There's no actual difference between races in terms of infectivity.
Smokers however are at a higher risk.

From what MedCram videos taught me, black means oxygen in the lungs. If the lungs are entirely white, it means there's (practically) no oxygen in them.

>Also why did the dark spot at the bottom disappear?
Either because there's no more air there or because these are fucking uncomfirmed photos on Twitter.

Black fields have high lucency - filled with gas. Brighter fields have lower lucency, meaning the x-ray beams cannot pass through them due to high density. This indicates consolidation within these lung regions, there’s inflammation.

We've had this technology forever. It's a fucking ionizing radiation death lamp that will burn the shit out of your skin. UV lamps are excellent for sticking in air handlers, or mounting above a room such that it only irradiates things above 8 feet (convection will ensure all the air in a room is exposed several times an hour).
But just putting it in the middle of a room will result in destroyed corneas, burnt skin, and embrittled plastic/rubber.

Asians, to an extent maybe. After all it did originate in China so it makes sense evolutionarily (that is if coronavirus did spring from a natural zoonotic recombination event). But the statistical associations are weak in the few studies so far conducted that indicate differential ACE2 receptor expression status across ancestral populations. And the effect sizes pale in comparison to smoking and air pollution. Air pollution the force multiplier here -- look at cities where fatality rates seem to be higher than elsewhere. The air quality in Chinese cities ranges from the equivalent of smoking half a pack to two packs of cigarettes a day. Qom and Iranian cities in general have appalling air quality, especially in winter. Italian cities have consistently the worst air pollution in western Europe. South Korea's air is famous for shredding lungs.

>Air pollution and case fatality of SARS in the People's Republic of China: an ecologic study
SARS patients from regions with moderate APIs had an 84% increased risk of dying from SARS compared to those from regions with low APIs (RR = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.41–2.40). Similarly, SARS patients from regions with high APIs were twice as likely to die from SARS compared to those from regions with low APIs.
