OneMoreFarang Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Yes, that is an interesting article. What I found interesting how long it took before they tested him. I hope the reason was that he was possibly infected in January and maybe now the test would happen a lot sooner. Because if that is not the case then the number of people with the virus is probably a LOT higher that reported simply because people are not tested - and not only in China... Today they published another interesting article: Epidemics expert Jonathan Quick: ‘The worst-case scenario for coronavirus is likely’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/01/the-worst-case-scenario-for-coronavirus-dr-jonathan-quick-q-and-a-laura-spinney 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's likely accurate. Scary thought. They are doing temperature checks everywhere now here in Mae Sot. Makro, Robinson, airport, bus terminal. Just hope it's not too little too late 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is how easily it is transmitted and detected. If you are going to be dramtic at least get it right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds accurate - and if you don't see that then maybe you should read some about Trump and his supporters - not only in the Guardian. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are old with underlying illnesses yes it does if you are unlucky but so does flu, sometimes the flu is more virulent as in 1918 but usually more benign. Panic for nothing, a 2% mortality rate for those with a compromised immune system, get a grip on reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think more serious than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTh Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Flu does kill but it is not dangerous enough for other countries to ban people from that country or else Americans won't be allowed to travel abroad.

Of course a newly emerged virus will start from zero. Doh! As does a new flu epidemic if it's a different strain to last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
