Coronavirus **personal experiences** thread

I wondered from the very beginning how anyone could think that people wouldn’t get infected on a ship with sick people.

Whoah! Literal money laundering going on in China now. Emphasis added:

Hey, I’ll pay extra for 30-day shipping ….

Nice!

Coronaviruses, such as SARS and MERS, have been found to persist on inanimate surfaces — including metal, glass or plastic surfaces — for as long as nine days if that surface had not been disinfected, according to research published earlier this month in The Journal of Hospital Infection.

Over the weekend I heard from a source I have in the scientific community that a lab in the UK has identified a vaccine for the virus but it will take six months for trials to be completed.

Six months is extremely fast. And if it passes the trials, production takes another few months unless they take the gamble producing it parallel to the trials in anticipation of succes.

416 cases in SHENZHEN OMG

the new infections start to level
and the curve of healed people raises (as the infections did 3 weeks ago)

Italy is starting to get deaths now… several dead :frowning: im reading people buy alot of food and putting on masks because of fear…

Really bad now. 155 cases in Italy. And the deaths are rising just as expected.
Italy 3 dead, 155 infected
South Korea 6 dead, 602 infected
Japan 1 dead, 146 infected
Iran 8 dead, 43 infected

There is no evidence that the infection would subside, or that it would become less severe over time.

Italy starts to shut down cities, scools etc
stores are sold out of desinfectant and gloves, masks etc
also other supply as people start to prepare for some hard days

even the famous Carnival of venice is cancelled!


in Austria there is advice not to go to italy atm....

just hours ago the austrian railways stopped a train in italy before entering Austria because 2 sick people are on it!!

:(

For those who want a comparison, here’s the European influenza news site.
tl/dr, flu is still worse than Coronavirus, and precautions are the same for both.

Here's an easy chart to follow by country. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

On that chart, China only shows 2 deaths from the virus today. If the numbers are not fudged, then experts who have studied variations of the corona virus for decades are right in that it will run it's course fairly rapidly like it appears to be doing right now.

they do this every time



? not sure if we speak about the same

that train was not allowed to cross the border and meanwhile all trains between at Brennero are cancelled

chinese president said,that its the worst health crisis since 1949…and worst virus of viruses known before….of course he said nothing about his blame for the situation…well…

i meant, they always check the trains at brennero……anyway traffic restored, covid19 have not been confirmed :+1:

Here is what is probably a Chinese government made or approved video of a survivor.
