I had seen his profile picture before but didn't really pay that much attention to it. So after dancingincircles with each other I get home and I take a look at his pic again and start noticing that he's actually posing next to a some kind of water fountain or something I can't really tell but there are chinese letters written in some places and now I'm freaking out because maybe he's been to china?? Or maybe it's a chinese restaurant from where I live but I have no idea and either way, I don't think it is because then why would he take a photo? My hypochondria kicked in hard. I'm trying to tell myself that if he actually were in china then he would be sick already but who knows?? I'm between laughing and scared as f*** lol!!! Maybe he would have told you about his trip to China if he had been there lately? Don't worry, the odds are minimal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenHeartedMonster 1,079 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 @jprince99x Researchers have found that coronavirus is 94% identical to SARS coronavirus which caused an epidemic in 2003. The receptors on top of the new coronavirus are the same than in SARS virus so scientists believe that the medicine that have been developed against SARS could help to this coronavirus too (but I think it hasn't been confirmed yet that it would actually work). Source: https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-11174160 (Sorry it's in Finnish but this is the most reliable news paper we have here so it's real information) @FfFfFfFF I read that all of those who have died now have had a chronic disease which increases the possibility to death to ten times higher than without a chronic disease.

It's pretty much certain they used the treatment for SARS since 2019-nCov is a "cousin"... But well, it's getting worse by the hour and people are dying... Also here is the new official count : 1741 for China 🇨🇳 and 55 Deaths Toronto has the first case for Canada And the virus seems to get you asymptomatic and yet contagious for a few days. Which is gonna make things harder to detect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenHeartedMonster 1,079 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 15 minutes ago China confirmed 56 deaths and over 2029 infected. They have also found that this coronavirus is much more dangerous than believed before because this can infect people during its germination time.

OpenHeartedMonster 1,079 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 They're building a hospital to Wuhan in six days! 2003 they built a hospital to Peking in seven days so this is possible. They have already started digging the ground in an area over 25 000 square meters. Hospital will be constructed of ready-made parts. According to Global News, at least 150 doctors and nurses from People's Liberation Army have arrived to Wuhan and are ready to start working as soon as they get the hospital ready Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LateToCult 42,203 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 So does anyone know if it is airborne or not? I get a lot of vague reports when I try to look it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a lot of vague reports when I try to look it up. It is transmitted by fluid. So if someone coughs/sneezes and those droplets reach you, you will be infected. If those droplets contaminate an object, and you touch that object (then touch your nose or mouth with hands) you will be infected. So washing hands frequently and wearing a protective mask is practically foolproof for prevention Let’s have some fun this beat is Sapokanikan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maleficent 6 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 has there been any deaths in people without pre-existing conditions? pneumonia is just as deadly in older people and people with a weakened immune system but the good thing is it is bacterial not viral, thus not nearly as transmissible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
