Singapore just banned Chinese tourists completely, and anyone who visited China in the past two weeks
- Seems like a big disparity between the relatively low number of official victims of this virus vs. the aggressive response by governments.yuekit
- yes, but how else do you contain ithotroddy
- Hopefully the containment works and it ends up being a successful test run for ability to respond to a threat like this.yuekit

- It seems to hit only Chinese people and only caused mild symptoms in the 4 germans who got it.robotron3k

Did I misunderstand this? If you’re infected it basically means death sentence, right? There’s no cure?
As it stands there are 12K infected world wide with this virus. Does that mean they’re all dead soon?
- The news is all unconfirmed rumors, I heard they it is responding with HIV meds, another rumor you get sick, then healthy but left with HIV, damaged immune sys.robotron3k
- Another news rumor is kills only Chinese people and v mild to outside race, leading some to believe it's been long active.robotron3k
- Now they are touting traditional Chinese meds as the cure...robotron3k
- Not true. Watch:shapesalad

- Essentially it causes inflammation in your lungs and you can't get enough oxygen into your blood - SARS.shapesalad
- But with professional care, as highlighted in that video, there is a chance of recovery.shapesalad
- And depends on age, gender, immune system, how the virus has mutated.shapesalad
- The issue is, it's perhaps present without symptoms = people spreading it unknowingly. So highly contagious.shapesalad
- And not enough known at this time about the mortality rate due to china covering up, fudging numbers and cremating dead immediately without autopsy.shapesalad
- LOL @ watching the "news" on this. So much speculation and rumors and utter nonsense. TV news is so reckless.nb
- Fuckin reckless indeed... But still unanswered question, does it act like sickle cell anemia and affects certain races vs others?robotron3k
- Yes you misunderstood. It only has something like a 2% mortality rate based on what I read.yuekit
- So why we freaking out then?NBQ00
- "If you’re infected it basically means death sentence"...lol, where did that idea come from?yuekit
- Cmon guys it doesn't much not to be total idiots...the info is out there, just takes a minimum of reasoning/judgment to see what is true and what is nonsense.yuekit
- My impression is governments are concerned because it's an unknown new virus...and because even 2% could be significant if there are millions of cases.yuekit
- But in terms of actual danger, this not much worse than the flu. Less lethal than past epidemics like SARS, based on what we know right now.yuekit

- I was listening to NPR yesterday, a leading research scientist said that it could take up to 18 months before a vaccine that is approved and effective.utopian
- But the common cold is a corona(crown) style virus, why no vaccine for that??shapesalad

- I went out yesterday to see Tet festival in Manhattan. I notice , first time in 20 years, Chinese & Chi-Ams we're not wearing masks. Before the virus it wasrobotron3k
- Pretty normal to see that on the subway, but now we assume someone is sick, and it's something short of scary seeing on the street.robotron3k
