Yep, need to get your China bashing done quickly because China’s Hubei province has reported its lowest number of new coronavirus cases since January, giving officials hope that the outbreak may be approaching its peak ... as reported in https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2020/feb/12/coronavirus-china-reports-fall-in-infections-but-experts-remain-cautious The dang thing should be over in a month. But you'll still have the Indians, Africans, Muslims, ... to get the little man bile juices flowing. Edited February 12, 2020 by Why Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of Non-mainland Chinese criticise the mainland-Chinese for the day long hoyking chorus. Edited February 12, 2020 by Jare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Christmas13 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 The worst thing what could happen, if the virus reaches Africa. There is only 2 countries will have the facilities to threat that virus and that is South Africa and Senegal, and thousands will die in all the other countries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post geriatrickid Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 Ok so back on topic, this topic contains sensationalized misuse of the actual information. The Forbes article did not present anything that wasn't already known about fomite transmission. If one reads the article the main point is that The review found that on average, coronaviruses can live on surfaces for between four and five days, but some could survive for up to nine days outside of the body at room temperature. This was based upon looking at the SARS and MERS data only, and not the Covid-2019 data. This is nothing new as we already know. To put it into perspective, a common cold virus can survive 7 days and the basic flu virus, typically 1 day. Environmental factors have a big role, with BIG emphasized. As per the report; “Low temperature and high air humidity further increase their lifespan,” So yes, when the report indicates that there is up to 9 days survivability on surfaces such as glass, plastic or metal, it is nothing earth shattering. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
