So coronavirus is definitely going to kill a few of us.

Prove me wrong.

And btw coronavirus in China is SAVING lives!

I have always suspected that once the virus news broke that the discovery of now several cases in many countries in such a short time means the virus has been with us longer than we thought.

This virus is extremely close to SARS, unless you had a very specific and new test done, no one would even know the difference at the hospital.

Also we are now seeing reports of infection that have no logical tie to an outbreak anywhere to build a chain back to origin.

If grandma Perkins in Omaha is diagnosed next week and she never traveled and never had contact with anyone tied to Asia...

Its a new virus, a form of SARS mutated slightly and here we are, yes its new but Id bet with us for a long time.

A new vac. will be here within 6 weeks and by spring Corona will be back to meaning what it used to.

That kind of flies in the face of doctor from the DHS that just said during a news conference that even if this current vaccine is successful, it will be 18 months to clear clinical trials.

70% it fades or gets under control and doesn't impact average American's life (aside from fear)
20% it drags on and becomes an ongoing problem, more dangerous and difficult to predict death than flu, not killing huge number of Americans but enough to stoke major fear and impact other things such as economy
9% it continues spreading, kills a large but not catastrophic number of people, panic ensues in US for awhile
1% major pandemic in US, tons of people die, chaos ensues

SEOUL, Feb 27 (Reuters) - A Korean Air flight attendant who has tested positive for coronavirus had worked on flights between Seoul and Los Angeles, local media reported.


Reuters: The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday that the crewmember had been on flight KE958 from Israel to Incheon on Feb. 15-16. The passengers included a South Korea tour group from which 31 coronavirus cases were seen to have originated.


Reuters: Yonhap News Agency and other media said she worked on flights KE017 and KE012 on Feb. 19 and Feb. 20 to and from Los Angeles.

Some 30 crewmembers who were on the same flights with her have self-quarantined for 14 days, media reports said.

I've got a flight booked "soon" and it's a long one.

Let's just say this isn't the best time to be flying with the remnants of an anxiety disorder, but I'm just going to put it out of my mind.

Flying to Miami for the Southern Caribbean cruise?

There must be some great deals now.

Bon voyage

Todd, in light of the trip plan I have only two questions.

1) Do you have a dead man switch for your BTC?
2) What do you want the stone to say? May I suggest "ALL IN" ?

I'm going to Japan in May. Not concerned in the slightest.

This strain is also more deadly for old ppl (unless you live in China, where they get the virus from the tap).

It's everywhere, now. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/25/asia/...hnk/index.html

Those MIT grad students and their mysterious little offices in Kendall Square? Remember your realization those monkeys weren’t comfort animals.

Of course you’re not afraid. This virus is child’s play.

Just for the record, the area where Shizz works there really is some freaky Biotech shit going on.

ive gotten drawn out on with better odds than 98%.

Yeah, the scientists I work with are not concerned about the virus. They are more concerned about the reaction by governments to it. Moderna claim to have a vaccine in pre-clin; we'll see its a coronavirus we don't even have a cure for the common cold (also a form of coronavirus).

I will also say I feel safer going to Japan in May than being at the Rio in June where there is always a yearly WSOP virus where you have a bunch of dirty ass degens who don't exercise good hand hygiene.

trump appointing pence, a christian fundamentalist who does not believe in science, to manage our response to the coronavirus is straight out of the onion

lol moderna. as mentioned by that weird ghoul at the conference, even if we fast track the entire approval process from bell to bell we would be lucky to have a vaccine that entered trials today be approved for use by the next seasonal virus cycle.

The best part about this virus is that I learned the IOC has a guy named, Dick Pound, working for them

Thoughts and prayers works for more than just gun violence you know.

Druff's legendary immune system is going to be put to the test at The Rio this summer!

Thank god Mike Pence is on top of it.

There's now a nonzero chance that I will skip the 2020 WSOP.

Way too early to say this, but it's also something I can't rule out.

Does anyone have a clear picture yet of how dangerous it is to someone around 50 years old who isn't sick?

Druff, you probably shouldn’t worry that the this virus will kill you, but you should consider the risk that you could spread to older members of your family, e.g. your parents, if you oic it up.

What I read is it seems to kill older people at a much higher rate, they said kids seemed to be recovering from it.

Figure it probably has half the mortality rate in the US as it does in China, so maybe like 1%.

If I played WSOP, I would put myself in a couple week quarantine when I came home if it’s still around when WSOP starts.

Literally best thing everyone can be doing is drinking a shit ton of water, dehydration is what gets people, it puts your body at a disadvantage when trying to recover and it’s so simple to avoid.

What are the odds that someone out of 75,000 players has the coronavirus?

You’re a non-smoker, so it is incredibly unlikely to kill you. That said, I’ve seen some cases of doctors and whatever that are in our demographic dying. Not just the one the Chinese may have killed themselves.

You’d have to quarantine s yourself away for a few weeks afterward. Avoiding your parents would probably be easy enough but you get your girl or kid sick, even if minor, you’re going to feel horrible about it.

From everything I’ve read, this isn’t just the flu. It is a much bigger pain in the ass. It may only kill maybe 1-2%, but it puts a lot of damn people in the intensive care and on a host of medicines if it gets to that point. I know you are really averse to taking a lot of medication.

This thing isn’t the end of civilization of anything, but the incubation rates are growing wider. They’re talking 27 days. It lives on surfaces and shit.

It’s killing the economy because this quarantine shit and 30% of a workforce out sick and all the logistical nightmares is a nightmare for getting shit from point a to b.

If it’s only a few hundred US cases, fuck it I’d go. If it’s thousands, I’d probably skip in your spot. I’d go in a second if it was myself. Fuck it, I almost died at 30, this is all a free roll to me. Taking out elderly relatives though makes it a bad gamble if its at all widespread imo.

I mean, you lost a grudge match to yebsite and the sidedish says people fear him more at the table now anyway, so you’re probably saving money :lol

Not sure how accurate this is, but saw this, this morning.

So there’s reports that some people that tested positive and recovered have tested positive again.

15% of people retested after going from positive to negative test positive again.

It’s pretty much agreed upon that it takes the body two weeks to build antibodies, so if you get reinfected in that window you are basically fucked.

The CDC should probably expand their criteria set for IDing people who should be tested for this virus.

California coronavirus patient was not tested for several days; some hospital staffers told to stay home

UC Davis officials said the patient arrived at UC Davis Medical Center from another hospital Feb. 19. But the patient was not tested until Sunday [Feb. 23].

“Upon admission, our team asked public health officials if this case could be COVID-19. We requested COVID-19 testing by the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], since neither Sacramento County nor the California Department of Public Health is doing testing for coronavirus at this time. Since the patient did not fit the existing CDC criteria for COVID-19, a test was not immediately administered. UC Davis Health does not control the testing process,” the medical center said in a statement.

On Sunday, the statement added, “the CDC ordered COVID-19 testing of the patient, and the patient was put on airborne precautions and strict contact precautions, because of our concerns about the patient’s condition.”

The positive test results came back Wednesday, the medical center said.

The fuck you say?

I have been very disciplined by not sports wagering NBA .... patiently waiting for preseason Japanese baseball at 5am.

I saw Yankees Red Sox last year when it was 35 degrees. I put down my gloves in the men’s room and forgot them. I thought I’d have to go home such was the risk of frostbite. Indoor stadiums are faggot.

Add Italy to Iran when you’re talking about countries with way more cases than they realize. South Korea is all i trust as far as being accurate, organized, and transparent. Cases popping up all over Europe that have have Italian origin. More bodies in Iran and Italy have dropped than SK. I’d guesstimate 10x the reported cases in Italy and 50x the cases reported in Iran.
