Dead animals don't bite, you could get an infection.

WHO puts total cases at above 6,000

The World Health Organization has put the total number of infected people at more than 6,000.

There are 6,065 cases worldwide, all but some 70 in China, with 132 deaths in China - according to the agency's latest figures.

"The continued increase in cases and the evidence of human-to-human transmission outside China are of course both deeply concerning. Although the numbers outside China are still relatively small, they hold the potential for a much larger outbreak," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.

This puts the number of infected above SARS total run already.

Odd that the FDA is slapping the makers of Purell on the wrist for stating that using it can help prevent disease, yet all the signs and recommendations include using alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

Wonder what'll happen if it appears in the other billion+ countries in the area with entire areas that are, to put it bluntly, underdeveloped.

Sounds good... but you're also ok to have protected sex with live wild animals. They don't bite if you wear a condom?

They are pretty chill when they know they won't have KAC animal babies growing inside them

The original said contact instead of sex.

Well alcohol only works on bacteria and even that is gaining resistance to it like for antibiotics. They are 'crafty' little ****ers no doubt. But its still a good idea to use it as a hand sanitizer when good old soap and water isnt available and a situation makes the need for it timely.

Unless this virus has a much longer incubation period in most people it seems its already petering out. Considering the population basin where its reared its head its had very few infected.

OAN I find it very odd the chinese gov came out so strongly so early in the outbreak. I cant put my finger on it but it feels like they are using it or wanted to use it as an opportunity for something. Maybe related to Hong Kong I dont know...

and they have been doing a cover up from all reports

The swine flu they did badly manage no doubt. Maybe they would have repressed this as long as they did swine flu had media not picked it up. I can see not wanting to cause a panic tho as flus are dime a dozen.

Still it felt a little early as number of infected was a couple dozen by Dec 31st. There was only one known infection on Dec 1st so hardly can make a call based on that. First death was only Jan 11th...

How China can build a hospital for coronavirus patients in a week

Huoshenshan Hospital, which broke ground on Jan. 24, is scheduled to be operational on Feb. 3, will have 1,000 beds and occupy a 269,000 sq. ft. lot in the edge of the city. With an equally ambitious timeline is Leishenshan Hospital, a 323,000-sq. ft, 1,300-bed facility slated to open two days later.

After reading that article, it makes sense now. It's not a permanent hospital, just temporary pre-fab triage facility for treating new patients. Just like the one created in 2003 for the first SARS outbreak, which was abandoned after the outbreak was over.

Dengin · Jan 30, 2020, 07:35 AM

A large pharmaceutical company just sent out a note to its employees saying that if they recently travelled to China, to stay home for 14 days, and to call a Dr if they have flu symptoms, self-imposed quarantine in other words. With more and more airlines cancelling flights to China, economic impact will be felt soon. Wonder about the big cargo ships that are midway between China and their destination.

Shapeshifter · Jan 30, 2020, 09:40 AM

Russia is closing their border to china.

Cruise ship off the coast of Italy is quarantined while they test a women.
