    TBH, it sounds like much ado about very little. The death rate appears to be about 2% versus the much higher 10% rate for SARS, which is also a coronavirus. And the people who are dying from it are doing so because they overwhelmingly have an underlying health problem or weakened immune system, with most dying due to also contracting pneumonia.



    So, I guess we’re not gonna see a realignment of real wages in China from this disease after all.

    Dude, I’ve sometimes been spookily accurate at the projected death rates of catastrophic events. But that perception may be biased by my memory of a bet I offered a colleague of mine a few days after the 9/11 attacks. He had seen one of the towers fall that morning from a south-facing conference room in a Midtown skyscraper he happened to be in that day, and was still in a bit of a shock about it. He was sure that over 5000 people died in those attacks. I thought that was a way too high and said I’d take 3000 for $20 bucks. Sadly, he declined, because I think the count came out to be just shy of 3000. Oh, well. Would have been an easy 20 bucks.

    the genome ends with 33 "a"s. this is statistically... unlikely.. to occur in something that isnt man made.

    Just saw the movie Contagion for the first time a couple of weeks ago and subsequently read some scary shot about pandemics. Yikes.

    counterpoint: As far as I've read, statistics have nothing to do with this functional part of the sequence. it is a very common type of ending for this kind of rna virus, which happen in nature all the time. It appears to signal the end of the strand, is involved in replication processes, or some such things or other. Can be 5 a's, can be 20, can be 33 as it is in this one. It's called polyadenylation.

    you're 100% right, a biochemist chimed in on that thread and explained how its basically necessary for replication. mea culpa.

    also US CDC traced it to contaminated bat meat from a bat breeder near by.

    also lets take a deep breath and consider that there are bat breeders in china who sell their wares as food.

    really savor that.
