Then it intuitively seems there already are many people infected all over the world and we can't really prevent the infection from spreading, the measures being taken are futile. Brace yourself, buy grocery supplies and prepare your immune systems - start sleeping enough, eating healthy etc now.
Not even joking I quit drinking and started eating healthier as I followed this. I have been watching and reading since it was a few hundred confirmed cases and I think it will become a very large outbreak.

Quit drinking?! Alcohol kills viruses! Didn't you pay attention to the Andromeda Strain documentary? I plan on staying home and drinking heavily.
Does it? I'm actually curious if alcohol-based hand sanitizers should be used as an element in 2019-nCoV infection prevention.

Then why so small number of people get infected outside of China? I can hardly believe no case of infection could get unnoticed and not isolated successfully so far.
In my city (Lviv, Ukraine), number of viral pneumonia cases is jumped by 4x since Jan 26, but we have no test kits to confirm kind of virus they caused by. They can be caused by regular influenza, as usual, or they can be caused by corona. Nobody knows yet. :-/
AFAIK you are going to have them by tomorrow (5th of Feb). WHO cares (pun intended).

How is wanting to contain the spread of an exponentially expanding virus racist? As far as punitive actions against a country, the world is taking a relatively light approach to China especially when one factors in their treatment of the Uyghurs. They have placed an entire ethnic minority into concentration camps for reprogramming. That's racism.
> They have placed an entire ethnic minority into concentration camps for reprogramming. Do you have any proof of this? All Western media has been able to produce is a few pictures of some buildings which could contain at most a few hundred people. At least look at the other side's story before you blindly believe everything capitalist media tells you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4cYE6E27_g

#76Am I wrong to find it concerning that Africa and South America has yet to report a single case?
2019-nCoV targets ACE2 receptor cells in the lung. Current estimated death rate is 15% (based on now slightly out-of-date Lancet articles). Asian men are the most susceptible group. Male / female infection rate currently about 3:1 (but based on low statistics). Ratio of ACE2 cells in Asian men to Asian women is about 4:1. Ratio of ACE2 cells in Asian men compared to whites or African-Americans is 5:1. https://www.bio…

the only Asian donor, n=1. It's too bold to claim that Asian men are the most susceptible group.

#78Does anybody find surprising that India only has 3 infected? Out of 1.3 billion? And they are a neighboring country?
