Chinese Wuhan Virus Thread

The figures coming out of China, Paxtan, Iran, KSA, USE, etc should be ignored.
Oh well, even with doctored numbers Paxs are doing worse. Basically they are finding infected janaabs more frequently. Either they are having more infected janaabs or they are just testing when it looks more likely that a given janaab is infected.
 
In fact, according to a district president (président de région), they paid 3 times more in cash on the tarmac so as to "steal" it as it was to go to France. And not only once. They also did it in Thailand to Canada. But no clue if these are private societies or american officials.
France did it first.
France seizes millions of masks, gloves intended for Spain and Italy
1 million masks are still stolen.

However nobody does it better than the higher than mountain friends

ICMR disagrees.

Coronavirus spread: No evidence of COVID-19 being an airborne disease, says ICMR

Says that all members of a family should get infected, but that's not happened. Even non-COVID patients in hospitals next to COVID patients have not gotten infected. He also says not to trust Internet rumours.

So it's not airborne.


I guess it helps if one is a carrier but asymptomatic.
Stop spreading mis-information. There are plenty of studies that have shown that corona-virus can stay suspended in air for several hours including through the fine mist that are generated through simple exhalation.

What misinformation? That's a doctor from ICMR. Did you even bother to click on the link?

Staying in air for a few hours and being airborne are two totally different concepts. If it was airborne, then nobody would recommend staying 1-2m away from the infected. Also, the RO would be insanely high. Like the airborne Measles has an RO over 15, while this virus is around 2.5.

Don't you know DMA has been invoked? Posting unverified info like you just did can bring you a year in jail if you are Indian.

Section 54 in the Disaster Management Act, 2005
Punishment for false warning.—Whoever makes or circulates a false alarm or warning as to disaster or its severity or magnitude, leading to panic, shall on conviction, be punishable with imprisonment which may extend to one year or with fine. —Whoever makes or circulates a false alarm or warning as to disaster or its severity or magnitude, leading to panic, shall on conviction, be punishable with imprisonment which may extend to one year or with fine."
 
China has messed up big time,the west will be hit worse than hiroshima and nagasaki before this ends.But when it ends,they are coming for the CCP,make no mistake about it.
Yup.. more than 4000 people from Wuhan entered US by mid January.. It was the CCPs duty to stop them... Instead they were warning countries who stopped travel from China...

Errr... nope.
There has been only ONE such study. Indeed virus remained viable for 3-4 hours. No doubt about that. Only one problem. The virus was KEPT suspended by a strong ARTIFICIAL rotation after being nebulized. They wanted to know how long in air the virus can survive MAXIMUM. That is different from the question "CAN virus spread via air?.
Infact the authors themselves noted that and warned against mis-interpreting the study.
The study was published in NEJM New England Journal of Medicine. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.09.20033217v1.full.pdf

Here are some interesting quotes by the authors (How Long Does the Coronavirus Last on Surfaces?)

And similarly, while the researchers tested how long the virus can survive in aerosols suspended in the air, they didn’t actually sample the air around infected people. Instead, they put the virus into a nebulizer and puffed it into a rotating drum to keep it airborne. Then they tested how long the virus could survive in the air inside the drum. The fact that it could live under these conditions for three hours doesn’t mean it’s “gone airborne”—that it hangs around so long in the air that a person can get it just from sharing airspace with an infected person. “This is not evidence of aerosol transmission,” Neeltje van Doremalen, a researcher at the NIH and a coauthor of the study, cautioned on Twitter.
 
Staying in air for a few hours
Lemme correct you a bit here. Coronavirus DOES NOT remain in air for a few hours. It can SURVIVE in air for few hours. There is a big difference between two. The droplet size in which it spreads is simply too big to remain suspended. Mostly, those droplets settle down on the ground. This is the reason that even in hospital wards where corona patients are kept, the air does not exactly get "infested".

Now, if you are in front of a Peaceful Patient who wants to sneeze in your face or cough in your face or spit in your face, then sure... Corona is airborne because the droplets travels in air.. So conclusion? Put the Peaceful Patients in a vacuum container :cool:.

That's actually what I meant. So thanks for expanding on that for me.

There is an even better container called a Peaceful container, hopefully Saran wrapped.
