[COVID-19 Virus] The PRC Situation Thread

[Dr Christopher Cheok C S]

The 12th Patient in Singapore is a China chicken. Her clients have either families or colleagues, given the long incubation period without symptoms, we can expect local community transmission in February 2020.

reports of mutation reported in GuangZhou within a family cluster.

they tend to mutate with cantonese. the virus must have hated their shifty characters.

Hong Kong reports first death from coronavirus, 39-year-old had travelled to Wuhan

HONG KONG - A man in Hong Kong has died of the coronavirus originating in China's Wuhan city, the first fatality recorded in the territory and the second outside mainland China.

The 39-year-old man had taken the high-speed train from Hong Kong to Wuhan on Jan 21 and from Changshanan to Hong Kong on Jan 23, the Hospital Authority said on Tuesday (Feb 4).

The Centre for Health Protection said earlier that he had not visited any healthcare facilities, wet markets or seafood markets, and had no exposure to wild animals during the incubation period.

The man, who had an underlying illness, developed muscle pain last week and came down with a fever. He later sought treatment at Queen Elizabeth Hospital and was put in an isolation ward.

He lived in Whampoa Garden and was the 13th confirmed case in Hong Kong. The city has 15 cases of the coronavirus so far.

The government said on Monday that it would close more border checkpoints, as more than 2,500 medical workers went on strike to demand a complete ban on travellers from mainland China to limit the spread of the virus.

The medical workers said they were worried that hospitals would be overwhelmed by a surge of coronavirus cases.

The first death outside China was reported on Sunday – a 44-year-old Chinese man who died in the Philippines after travelling there from Wuhan, the epicentre of the virus.

Don't worry, Lee Hsien Loong said the coronavirus isn't serious at all.

Don't worry, Lee Hsien Loong said the coronavirus isn't serious at all.

He is absolutely right. Seasonal influenza is causing far more deaths than the Wuhan virus.

Chinese scientists say they have detected “striking” mutations in a new coronavirus.

Chinese scientists say they have detected “striking” mutations in a new coronavirus that may have occurred during transmission between family members.
While the effects of the mutations on the virus are not known, they do have the potential to alter the way the virus behaves.

Researchers studying a cluster of infections within a family in the southern province of Guangdong said the genes of the virus went through some significant changes as it spread within the family.

Viruses mutate all the time, but most changes are synonymous or “silent”, having little effect on the way the virus behaves. Others, known as nonsynonymous substitutions, can alter biological traits, allowing them to adapt to different environments.

Two nonsynonymous changes took place in the viral strains isolated from the family, according to a new study by Professor Cui Jie and colleagues at the Institut Pasteur of Shanghai.

This case indicated “viral evolution may have occurred during person-to-person transmission”, they wrote in the paper published in the journal National Science Review on January 29. “Close monitoring of the virus’s mutation, evolution and adaptation is needed,” they added.

Cui’s team also detected a total of 17 nonsynonymous mutations from cases around the country between December 30 and late January, they wrote.

But “we do not have an answer yet” on whether the new coronavirus is changing faster than Sars or other viruses, according to Shi Zhengli, a researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who was not involved in the study. Sars, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, mutated at the speed of 1 to 3 changes per thousand “sites” each year, according to previous studies.

Shi said that scientists still did not know the mutation speed of the new coronavirus because “most of the available [viral gene] sequences are not complete. They come in fragments.” Sequencing entire genomes is time-consuming and expensive. The new coronavirus’ genes also have a total length of nearly 30,000 base pairs, longer than many other viruses, including its distant cousin Sars.

But on Saturday, the Zhejiang Provincial Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (Zhejiang CDC) said it was teaming up with tech giant Alibaba, which owns the South China Morning Post, to develop a new method of genome analysis using artificial intelligence to study the virus from patient samples.

The Zhejiang CDC said the new technology was expected to cut the sequencing time from several hours to about 30 minutes, allowing scientists to track mutations quicker and more precisely.

It is not clear yet what the mutations mean for patients. Qiu Haibo, a member of the national expert panel advising the government on the fight against the virus, said on Sunday that so far there was no evidence that mutations could cause “repeated infections”.

But theoretically, mutations can make recovered patients sick again and cheat existing detection methods because they target only a small segment of the viral genome.
A study led by University of Minnesota researcher Li Fang predicted that a single mutation at a specific spot in the genome could significantly increase the virus’s ability to bind with cells on the surface of the human respiratory system, according to their paper published in the Journal of Virology on January 29.

全军抽组的1400名医护人员2日进驻武汉火神山新型冠状病毒感染肺炎专科医院后，立刻做好医疗物资、感染控制、规章制度等各项准备。4日9时26分，火神山医院开始收治第一批50位患者，他们分别来自武昌医院、汉口医院等三所医院。转运任务由武汉急救中心负责，十辆急救车均为负压救护车。(孙利、王锐涛)


【回顾1】：昨天早上，武汉市急救中心10辆救护车集结待命，准备向火神山医院转运患者。


据了解，武汉急救中心今天负责转运患者的救护车是负压式救护车，车上配备了便携式呼吸机、氧气瓶等相应医疗设备。随行的医护人员将采取三级防护措施。


火神山医院病房设备安装到位

随着火神山医院昨日正式交付，它的外景，大家一定都见过。



但它的内部到底什么样？

它和一般医院有什么区别？

相信你会好奇。

小编将带你一探究竟

- 01 -

针对呼吸道传染病设置

医院每个房间内有两张病床。卫生间上悬挂着指示牌，淋浴间、洗漱台和抽水马桶依墙而立，卫生间屋顶上悬挂着热水器。




病房外的缓冲间里，正中的洗手台上方标有“手卫生”的提示语，黄色的医疗垃圾桶排放在一旁。

火神山医院病房及医护人员的工作场所的区域，均是专门针对空气传播的呼吸道感染特征的传染病来设置的，构成特殊的平面布置和空间要求。


“插座已通电，床也铺好了……”

火神山医院即将收治病人

CT机房达到国家卫生标准

CT等诊疗设备是诊断新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎的重要设备。

昨日凌晨，市职业病防治院放射卫生检测结果显示，3个检查诊断室全部达到国家卫生标准。




- 03 -

首批患者即将开始接受治疗

经批准，军队抽组1400名医护人员于2月3日起承担武汉火神山新型冠状病毒感染肺炎专科医院医疗救治任务。

病人监护仪配置到位！

火神山医护人员为收治病人作好准备

▼▼▼

医护人员中有不少人曾参加小汤山医院抗击非典任务以及援助塞拉利昂、利比里亚抗击埃博拉疫情任务，具有丰富的传染病救治经验。



这场战“疫”，

我们必胜！

it's a morgue.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

it's a morgue.

CHICOM lover self masturbators will even call it the summer palace....and I will be nicer,,its just a quarantine facility,,.calling it a hospital is a freaking joke,,,but at least the built the quarantine facility within 2 weeks,,,quite an achievement,,,ang mor lands cant do it

 

[Gallego99]

I expect the Chinese authorities to announce that they will not be participating in the 2020 Olympics to be held in Japan. Pity the sportsmen and women.
We've not seen the full impact of this black swan event. It could very well lead to a financial crisis at the some point as we hold with bated breath. Let's just fast forward to 2022.

No worries, Taiwan will represent the Chinese people. As it should.

plus the pubic toilets at the airport in wuhan are hotbeds of viral fecal clouds. they haven’t cleaned and sanitized pubic toilets for weeks. these quarantine facilities will just be the same. death row with a death sentence.

Thia kong the wives & children of this Wuhan prostitute's five Sinkie customers all kena quarantined. This wan like tiok CNY Toto 12m jackpot.

More like a military-controlled makeshift morgue. Any death will go unreported and the body cremated immediately.
