Chinese Wuhan Virus Thread

Virus has already muted again in India, World over scientists working on this currently, and as we have seen, mortality rate goes up as and when this virus mututes.

Still the situation in the entire world is not
As bad as in CONTAGION

If the virus was as strong as in the movie
It would have been Good bye to Humanity

This movie helps people to calm their panic , that is what I had read

It is true
 
If all people stay at home here, one crore will die, if spread across country, a billion will die. Which one do you believe is more logical? Sometimes there are no good choices, only bad choices and we have to choose a lesser bad option. This is that time. Thank you.

BS. The death rate is at max 2-3% that too highly skewed because of areas/countries with an older population. On 29th march some 2000 pilgrims were brought home to gujarat - middle class folks who got strings pulled and arranged buses for their return. Every year nearly 250000 indians die of TB, most of them from the lower strata of society but no one gives a F. A lot could have been done, but lets plan on banging pots and pans for now.

There are a lot of small scale zari & other textile units in the slums there. Most if not all the workers are single source . Essentially from WB, Bihar & UP in that order. I don't think this is essentially a political move. Look at the demographics there. The BJP doesn't have any hold there . Why would the parties in the government do it? I believe it's a spontaneous move. Probably decided to wait till the 14th in anticipation that there'd be a relaxation of the lockdown for a few days during which they'd make their way home . Can't read much into it.

Why didn't they they come out when state govt. declared a extension five days ago? Does ambedkars day was chosen to do bhim mim stuff at mosque?

Why don't any of them have luggage?

Why gather near mosque instead of terminus?

In India its normal. Is desh mein yahi hota rahega, ek dusri ki taang kheechenge. What one learn in family it depicts in his her professional life be it politics. Taney sunana blame game its normal in 99.8% of people in India. India is not suitable for a democratic rule. Hum Log badtameez hai yahan apno se hi. This is our culture.

India's average mortality rate was three percentage point, above world average, however for Mumbai it was above six percentage. That was the fact before virus mutated again. It's also a fact that whenever this virus mutated, mortality rate went up generally by 1-3 basis point. That's the death directly due to COVID-19 Chinese Corona Virus. Another very common fact which everybody is shutting their eyes off, is that when hospitals & healthcare services will get overloaded with COVID 19 patients, death from other common illnesses will go significantly up as there will be less resources to deal with it.

So far within four months, this virus has mutated three times already confirmed, and two probable new strains under investigation. Think how many times it will mutate & what will be the mortality rate in next six months if emergency mesures not taken.

Mutations are quite normal with virus. Human antibodies also keep mutating in response.
 
Mutation strain from India could kill current research efforts for coronavirus vaccine
A coronavirus strain isolated in India carried a mutation that could render current international vaccine efforts useless, researchers in Australia and Taiwan warned.

Scientists have been targeting the same process that allowed the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) to infect people but the mutation found throws them off course.

The scientists claim that the change had occurred in part of the spike protein that allows the novel coronavirus to bind with certain human cells. The structure targets cells containing ACE2, an enzyme found in the outer surface cells in the lungs, which allowed the SARS virus to infect people, the South China Morning Post first reported.

Researchers know a lot about the receptor and had been racing on antibodies to target it but the structural mutation might have put all the research into jeopardy.

Collaborators from Murdoch University in Australia along with research authors Wei-Lung of the National Changhua University of Education in Taiwan said the strain in India was the first report of a significant mutation of the series.

"The observation of this study raised the alarm that Sars-CoV-2 mutation that varied epitope (something that an antibody attaches itself to) profile could arise at any time. This means current vaccine development against Sars-CoV-2 is at great risk of becoming futile."

Their study, which hasn't been peer-reviewed, was first on the preprint review site biorvix.org over the weekend.

While the India strain, taken from a patient in Kerala, was shown to the National Institute of Virology as far back as January, the full genome sequence was released two months later-- a massive delay that has some researchers perplexed.

According to the SCMP, "there is real concern growing that thousands of strains sampled and sequenced are just the tip of the iceberg -- and great variety increases the risk that new strains will require new vaccines in the same way the flu virus does."

Despite the setback, scientists around the world have been racing to find a vaccine for a virus that has infected 1.9 million people around the world as of Tuesday morning and has a death toll at 120,450 and counting, according to data provided by Johns Hopkins University. In the United States, there have been 582,590 cases with 23,649 deaths.

They are still hiding, almost 20 days after the initial gathering. How fkd up is our intelligence agencies can be estimated by this one incident. Massive abuse of visa from decades now and we are still clueless.

I bet if congress was in power we would have conveniently blamed it on muslim appeasement, conversion, anti hindu, anti India mindset what excuses we have now after 6yrs of Modi government?

Nationalist governments sleep like this?
