COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Ban-jani]

SARS or SARS-CoV symptoms become apparent fairly quickly (1-3 days) it is very infectious il Kills. Tweak the genetic mix a bit and you get SARS-CoV2 or Coronavirus which is Not as infections or lethal but it hides and spreads
SARS-CoV Symptoms 1-3 days, R0 = 3.5 & Mortality = 10% (without ITU intervation)
SARS-CoV-2 Symptoms 2-7 days, R0 = 2.5 Mortality = 3% (without ITU intervation)
Only Tawain learnt the lesson: Don't trust China.
They stopped all flights to infected places and locked down anyone who had travelled for 2 weeks previously for 2 weeks.
Sadly they have now imported cases from the US but are doing the same trick now so will tie everything down fairly quickly.

So why the fuck has everyone utterly failed with this?

I have to disagree with you on this.

Why is there certainly something more sinister going on? I suppose there could be, but I don't get why some people are so sure there is. It's bad enough as it is!

I don’t want to add to Ric’s bandwidth troubles but a Coronavirus conspiracy thread could be a fun way to pass the time.

Tidied the thread up now, but let’s try and be pragmatic and keep the discussion sensible. Scaremongering and conspiracy theories aren’t really helpful right now.

I think you should bring in a rule to link references when posters are stating things as fact. It's like a wikipedia moderator's christmas party night on here at the moment.

I think people are forgetting a lot of the groundwork can be skipped nowadays in terms of trials. It’s the mass production (and let’s get honest, the money) that’s the issue.

the trials can't be skipped,the safety trials take as long as they tak e,it will a min one year then healthcare workers will get it first then us sometime after,the money is there

Rumour has it that you’re not really Ric - What have you done with him!

I work for the NHS and have about 50 clients on prescriptions that i see fortnightly. Plenty cancelling appointments and asking if i can drop them off at the pharmacy for home delivery. This week has been carnage with other staff off and having to covering their appointments.

A lot of trials work can be carried out using computer modelling and simulations, but where safety is concerned, there is no way of skipping live trials on humans.

As in some of the trials are focussed on putting the code into pre existing vaccines. That gets rid of a lot of potential complications and can reduce the amount of trials required. That’s what a couple of the American companies are focussing on.
