It also spread as easily as it did because the outbreak came directly from soldiers cramped up in trenches at the end of WW1. The reason it's called the Spanish Flu was because Spain was neutral during WW1 so they didn't have an incentive to cover up the fact that it was spread by their own soldiers.

So I work in a Toronto hospital, in the clinical microbiology department. Toronto was so hard-hit during SARS that the virus was almost called Toronto Acute Respiratory Syndrome and only desperate lobbying in the name of keeping all those early-2000s tourist dollars coming in (?). As it happens I fucking hate this city but that's besides the point.

Our department famously fucked up during SARS because, once the epidemic had been mostly contained, they missed some exposures and allowed a second round of infections to spread. As a result the whole department (full of boomer lab techs by the way) is holding meetings every few days to discuss updated protocols and the progression of the disease.

All patients who come in with a respiratory disease are being screened. That's not even a new thing regarding patients who have recently visited SEA, it's precautionary given the threat of emerging avian flu from that region. I think places that were hard-hit by SARS will be better protected against this, given that.

[toronto hospital anon No.11328157]

>>11328150

> only desperate lobbying in the name of keeping all those early-2000s tourist dollars coming in (?)
stopped that from happening.
Just realized I forgot to finish that sentence. and this one:
>I think places that were hard-hit by SARS will be better protected against this, given that
the two viruses appear to be quite similar though nCoV (as it's called for now) is apparently less lethal, but we only have rickety Chinese statistics to go off of so that's not confirmed by any means.

Anyways, I'm somewhat familiar with virology, and coronaviruses are pretty bad at spreading, because they only become infectious once the patient is already quite ill. In contrast, a really good epidemic virus will spread during latency - before any symptoms have manifested and while the patient can still walk around and achieve maximum contact with others in the population. The flu does that, for example.

I will provide updates in these threads if something interesting happens, as long as I can ensure my anonymity.

People also forget that huge chunks of China have
>much higher population density
>much shittier air pollution
>much lower hygenic standards

than anywhere else in the Anglosphere and Europe.

This current coronavirus strain's main feature seems to be a more dangerous pnumonia. The massive air pollution in virtually every metro area in China almost certainly weakens everybody's lungs to the point that they resemble a middle-aged two pack a day smoker, so a pneumonia strain would be much harder on them than it would if the lungs were much more healthier. A bunch of people crammed together in trains like in much of their subway system can cause things to spread easily. Chinese people, especially the rural ones, will eat literally any animal they can get their hands on, and this apparently came from someone eating a bat. All of this combines into a perfect storm of an epidemic because some chink retard likes his delicacies.

Well because it started in China it's hard to figure out. It's probs got an R0 of around 3 and a mortality rate between 5 - 9. They say 2 - 3 but who can trust a China man. In China because they are so unsanity and urban, the R0 could be as high as 5 or more. Though in a first world country the R0 would be at the most 1.5 which is too low to have a doomsday event.
In a reasonable freak event the mortality would be 15% with and R0 of 8 (about 100 million chink deaths this year).
Though if it had a 25% mortality rate, Wuhan would already have 2.5 million infected and 100,000 deaths. There'd be 200 million dead Chinese, and about 1 billion deaths globally.

But yeah there's no need to worry.
However I did see on Twitter that coronavirus does damage the lung tissue even if you survive the virus. Though these are all speculations and tests need to be done first before you take any of this realistically.

[Anonymous No.11330381]

>>11330004
Yeah but, you also have to think about the health of the residents. Why are they dropping dead in the streets? Why are they not in the hospital? They might be sick already and can't afford a hospital visit because it would ruin them.
They probably have health issues in related to their lungs because of the chemicals released from cars and factories. China is well known to have toxic air already, a virus that hits their lungs would only be more dangerous to them, esp when people don't get the medical attention needed.

Reminder that nCoV is an escaped bio-weapon from the BSL-4 laboratory in Wuhan, pic related, for the envelope protein to be 100% identical with a similar virus that is not at all transmittable to humans is practically impossible.

So?
>Some of which are larger than New York City.
The entire point of the quarantines are to stop the virus from spreading. We already know the viruses symptoms and its severity. It's far weaker than SARS. It also spreads like wildfire, whichnis why the quarantines went into place to begin with. The proble with idiots like you is that you compare countries like china to the usa when their living conditions aren't even remotely similar. Not quarantining the cities in question would have been fucking retarded. Do you not understand the concept that chinese cities have far larger populations and population density levels than american cities? When a sickness like this happens in those conditions it allows the virus to spread too fast. America wouldn't have needed to quarantine a city that quickly because our cities have far less people in them and they aren't as densely packed.

Fuck, I hate doom posters. Yeah, China, and the world, is going to die because of the cold. I bet you got all your knowledge about the corona virus from some google search headlines, /pol/, and /v/.

Here is the nuts about China. Divide anything good you hear about China by a factor of 10. Likewise, multiply anything bad you hear about china by a factor of 10.

This means if you hear there have been 50 deaths from 2000 cases of Corona-chan, then the true figure is much more likely to be 500. So yeah, we could be talking about a 25% mortality rate here. Which would explain the lock downs, and how uninfected cities are sealing themselves off.

Officially. I am in China and I'm hearing people saying we're gonna have a second SARS outbrea- I'm heariong the response is better this time but this virus is worse. And I don't think there's a way of knowing how bad it will actually be until at least two weeks when everyone is back to their homes after celebrating new year. Travelling back is a dangerous thing.

no. fainting maybe. but they clearly aren't dropping DEAD. This is a huge quarantined city with an unknown virus in CHINA where going to the doctor can fuck up your life permanently so of course you're going to see people fainting, either from just mass panic or being infected and sticking up with the fever until your body just gives up.
>hazmat squad shows up and places their bodies in sealed bubble pods and carries them off
your point being? what do you want them to do ? leave them to rot ? they are potentially infected and we don't know how it spreads, of course people are going to show up in hazmat.

Apparently according to Chinese scientists, the virus seems to be less deadly/dangerous than SARS but is more infectious. (which is probably why you see people confused about closing a whole city when the virus seems to be no more dangerous than the flu)
