Medpage Today has useful quotes from the CDC's expert. Winter Park member of Congress Stephanie Murphyalready convened a meeting of Orlando people--airport, tourism, medical, etc--to get started on preparation.

Can't find the article right now but, a rsearcher at Harvard says that 40% to 70% of the world's population could get it! What's the world's inventory of body bags?

And yet, our own acting deputy secretary of Homeland Security, Ken Cuccinelli, became frustrated when he couldn't access the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering department's map showing the latest COVID-19 numbers and locations.

There is literally an ENTIRE FEDERAL AGENCY working for you that you could ask to provide you and all Americans with the latest information on the Coronavirus! Maybe we should cut the funding for the CDC... FFS...

Whoops

The head of an Iranian government task force on the coronavirus who had urged the public not to overreact about its spread has tested positive for the illness himself, authorities said Tuesday, as new cases emanating from the country rapidly emerged across the Middle East.

Hmmmm, , , , here in the USA and in most Euro countries and such, the health systems are in pretty good shape to deal with it. BUT, elsewhere in the BuFu world the current (rough) 2.7% death rate will probably expand and put a real hurt on certain places.

To have a little math fun:, , , ,

The world's population is 7,800,000,000. 40% of that is 3,120,000,000.

2.7% of 3,120,000,000 is, , , , , 84,240,000. !!!!

    Cuccinelli was called "The Cooch" when he was in Virginia politics. The state is now controlled by Democrats. But that's for the Other Forum.
    The Coronavirus seems unlikely to be as bad as flu epidemics in the 1950s or 1960s. A lot of infections don't produce symptoms and most with symptoms are mild. The 1968 pandemic killed about 1 million worldwide and 100,000 in the US (1957 was a bit worse), but life went on pretty much as usual, to the extent that 1968 was a usual year with Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy killed, the weird Democratic Convention, riots, war, whatever.
    As of now, we in the US aren't under immediate threat. But the sudden outbreak in Italy shows how that can change fast. Travel from China and South Korea has been curtailed.
    Harvard's expert who is predicting worldwide spread is Michael Mina.
    A friend in Madagascar who saw what a single tourist with measles did to the country (4,000 dead children) is very worried about what Coronavirus might do in poor African countries.

EDIT: Ooops! This is what happens when you sit up late doing taxes and then post. Considering that misteake (sic) was numeric, I guess I'd better go check the taxes too. Oh, and form 8889 instruction is finally available. Line 3 goes up $50, woot? Back to COVID19. The annual human death rate worldwide is about 1%, another 2%? Not nice certainly, but not exactly apocalyptic either. Compare to the annual birth rate which is about 2%.

If this doesn't start the recession (the, not a...a correction has been coming) nothing will.

Also, human beings need a science trust level correction and this might do it. Tired of anti-vax BS.

Trump stuck pretty much to script but seemed a bit too optimistic. It seems China did a good job of catching coronavirus cases. News story on a report from WHO at Stat

Clearly, the difficulty with this thing is its stealth.

Fatality rates

No deaths occurred in those aged 9 years and younger, but cases in those aged 70 to 79 years had an 8% fatality rate and those aged 80 years and older had a fatality rate of 14.8%.

No deaths were reported among mild and severe cases. The fatality rate was 49% among critical cases, and elevated among those with preexisting conditions: 10.5% for people with cardiovascular disease, 7.3% for diabetes, 6.3% for chronic respiratory disease, 6% for hypertension, and 5.6% for cancer.

the age factor and mortality difference. basically non existent in children under 9. some are suspecting this is due to mitochondrial function. children in major growth cycles have highly functional mitochondria. as we age and get older function decreases over time, how much dependent on your health, lifestyle, and genetics. potential supplemental protection/therapy could perhaps be something to increase function

    There's no reason to wear a mask unless you think you're infected (cold, flu, whatever).
    But hospitals, schools, airports, public transit systems and such need to dust off their pandemic plans (which they should have) and be ready. Very much as if a really bad flu year is impending
. [bulletIThere hasn't been much testing for the virus in the US due to a very limited supply of test kits and what was a reasonable belief that there wouldn't be any cases to be found in people who hadn't been in contact with infected persons. Now, there's more test kits and obviously more need to test.
