Would this explain all the spraying that's being done in the streets of Wuhan?

I share your worries. What often upsets me is that they keep on repeating that "only" the elderly or people with underlying condotions are being the ones with the severere outcomes. Well, not everybody is young and healthy. My biggest worry as of now though is not getting needed care for my...

The Graph is from showleopard, I messed up the quotation

There are reports in Asian media outlets of China having changed the definition of a "confirmed case", e.g. here "The daily reports of Wuhan virus infections in China will likely begin to drop as the government has decided to stop counting patients who test positive for the disease but do not...

I think the real numbers can always only be estimated AFTER an epidemic/pandemic. But there are studies, e.g. this one https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2761044 "Findings In this single-center case series involving 138 patients with NCIP, 26% of patients required admission to...

From what I understand it's not only the death rate that's concerning (2% of a lot of people being infected is a lot of people dying). (assuming the estimated 2% is correct) It's the relatively high number of 15-20% of people developing pneumonia needing oxygen and/or intensive care. With...

Well, in the WHO briefing (daily at 4pm) they just just called it "airborne" :/ Edit: They later rephraised - seems like these terms are used differently

I'm also worrying about meds since so many are produced in China. (Edit: As in supply chains are getting interrupted) This German Professor has come up with a Blog to give a perspective for Europe https://www.kekule.com/

It has been talked about the last couple of days for the virus to be transmitted via aerosol (versus only droplets), they don't really know yet though. https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202002/09/WS5e3fcfefa3101282172760f4.html "There is no definitive answer as to whether the novel coronavirus...

I had a long term improvement with some unknown bug I cought in 2010, 1 year after I became ill with ME. During the infection I was coughing and sneezing and everyone felt sorry for me, but I felt SO MUCH better...it was like a major, physical relief. After it was gone I got worse again but...

I think with a mask (and goggles on) it prevents you from touching your face (unless you have to adjust them all the time)

This doc explains emerging numbers and studies, easy to understand and seems very fact based

Appearently also an outbreak of the bird flu (not among humans) https://amp.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3048566/china-reports-outbreak-deadly-bird-flu-among-chickens-hunan

Updated numbers are inaccurate anyways since incubation time is long and some might stay asymptomatic. I've never been worried about swine flu, MERS etc. They have been new to the human population, too. It's the quarantene that makes it look so worrysome to me.

https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/24/virus-hit-wuhan-has-two-laboratories-linked-chines/ "Asked if the new coronavirus may have leaked, Mr. Shoham said: 'In principle, outward virus infiltration might take place either as leakage or as an indoor unnoticed infection of a person that...

It's the first time I'm actually worried by something like this, mostly because of the lockdown. I cant remeber this being done with any other outbreak :confused:

Sounds like the movie "Contagion" :/

To my knowledge, it depends on the quality of pain. If it's more of the burning type (neuropathic pain), anticonvulsants (Pregabalin, Gabapentin) and TCA (e.g. Amitryptiline) are being used. In my case, Pregabalin and Mirtazapin (I think it's called Remergil in the US) help a lot. The latter...
