Scientists worry coronavirus could evolve into something worse than flu, says quarantined expert

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/10/ian...-coronavirus-could-become-worse-than-flu.html

Lipkin, who worked on the 2003 SARS outbreak, said it is true that seasonal flu presents its own kind of problem, noting that globally up to 650,000 people die from it each year.

So far, more than 900 people who had the coronavirus have died.

The coronavirus is “not nearly as challenging for us as influenza” when seen strictly by the number of deaths, Lipkin said.

But that is not the only lens through which the outbreak should be viewed, he cautioned.

“We don’t know much about its transmissibility. We don’t necessarily have accurate diagnostic tests. And we don’t really know where the outbreak is going to go,” Lipkin said on CNBC’s “The Exchange.”

“The only thing we have at present, absent vaccines or drugs, is containment,” he added.

Coronaviruses typically infect animals, but strains can sometimes evolve and spread to humans. Symptoms in humans can include fever, sore throat and shortness of breath.

The respiratory disease is capable of spreading through human-to-human contact, world health officials say.

The illness also is able to spread before symptoms materialize. Health officials estimate about 20% of patients become severely sick, leading to pneumonia and respiratory failure.

Lipkin said he estimates the mortality rate of the coronavirus will ultimately be less than 1%.

But the figure is “speculative” because more antibody tests need to be conducted “so we can figure out who might have been infected but not manifested signs of disease,” he said.

Asked whether he thought the Chinese government was being transparent about the disease, Lipkin said he thought it was doing an adequate job of disseminating the information it has.

“What may be taken as a lack of transparency may in fact be ignorance of what’s going on,” he said.

Lipkin said he plans to return to China within the next month, while some of his staff plan to go there next week.

“There’s an enormous amount to do,” he said. “And the suffering is impossible to explain.”

You have to believe in conspiracy theory as well there are always possibilities this wuhan virus is self created to cause fear mongering and show the world if china dies u die together...first rule of exorcism you have to believe both the devil and God exists

I actually wish it was far more serious and was capable of wiping out 90% of the chinks.

30000 coming back with the virus soon. Sinkies are fucked. Thank you PAP.

 

[horny]

I worry if tio the virus will not die and become zombies instead.lol

Dare not bad mouthing AMLG siboh...

AMLG cannot stand to be no.2. They hv kiasi Rothschild, Bones and Skulls and illuminati to lose...

Good la I’ve always enjoyed zombies apocalypse movies. Time I get to play a real life hero

MAGGOTS MAGGOTESS ZOMBIES ENUFF
LEAD ON AS BRAIN DEAD BY THEIR HUNGER FOR MORE MONEY AND EVEN MORE MONEY

AND TO TIEW AND KANN AND FUCK STINKAPOREANS HEAD DOWN DOWN WAVING THEIR ARSEHOLES UP HIGH HIGH TO BE TIEW TO BE KANN TO BE FUCKED
AND NOW EVEN TO BE FUCKED BY CECA RAMESH AND HIS GANG


Can we all pray and pray??

That if we pray hard enough, all the maggots and maggotess kena hit very very hard with the Wuhan Virus.
Together with their sons and daughters and nieces and nephews and all that go laffing and laffing with them on way to their banks.

And while at it, may Ramesh and CECAs here kena that as well.

Scientists worry coronavirus could evolve into something worse than flu, says quarantined expert:
"Lipkin, who worked on the 2003 SARS outbreak, said it is true that seasonal flu presents its own kind of problem, noting that globally up to 650,000 people die from it each year.
...
The seasonal flu has killed more people than the coronavirus..."

I am losing my patience. I don't care for the figure 650,000 people die of flu globally each year! They keep on hyping "The seasonal flu has killed more people than the coronavirus...". Please! Just tell me what is the mortality rate of seasonal influenza and what is the mortality rate of the nCoV corona virus. I only want this fact! If you can't tell me the figures, everything is speculation.

Flu vaccine is obscenely profitable business. During the avian flu period :
Quote:"Indonesian health officials encountered disturbing problems. The antiviral drug Tamiflu, made by Switzerland’s Roche, was not available to them in large quantities at any price. [2] Although it has since lessened in importance, at the time Tamiflu was considered critical for treating and containing human infections. But rich countries had already locked up the supply, even though they were not the ones suffering H5N1 outbreaks."
Indonesia threw patent laws to the wind and made their own vaccine. Later when the flu scare was over, there was a stockpile of unused tamiflu vaccines and the "experts" concluded it could be used for other things!

These experts from the West are just pharmaceutical salesman selling the flu vaccine:

Official Chinese data of flu-caused deaths is much lower, with Chinese CDC data showing that in 2018, there were more than 700,000 cases and 144 deaths.

144/700,000=0.000205714 = 0.02% mortality rate!

Mortality rate for Wuhan corona virus may be greater than 2% as there may be death uncounted for when people die at home. There is already one death out of a sample of three Wuhan infected patients in the Philippines.
Junior college statistics test question:
Q:The mortality rate of corona virus is 0.02%. In a random sample of 3 infected patients, what is the probability that one of them die.

No worry one. Our fucking PAP has learned from SARS.

I just adhere to probability theory and it tells me my chances of dying in a road accident or from the flu are higher than succumbing to the Wuhan virus.

Because of this I don't bother with all the hype and neither should anyone else.

singapore is a hot weather country.the virus still can spread easily.i think this virus will stay a longer time than sars

Lets talk about the movie " parasite" instead.

In the democratic western world:
An 80-year-old in hospital ICU suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure with breathing difficulties. He catches a cold. The doctor noticed he had a running nose:
Doctor: "Have you caught the cold?"
Old man: "Yes".
Moments later, the patient died. On the death certificate, the doctor wrote:
Cause of death: running nose.

During the Xi Dynasty in China in a virulent period of history:
An 80-year-old in hospital ICU suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure with breathing difficulties. A TCM doctor diagnosed that the patient had also contracted the seasonal flu:
Doctor asked patient: "Are you feeling fine?"
Old man: "Yeah! You think so! ...X%$33Yell!!! ".
Moments later, the patient died. On the death certificate, the doctor wrote:
Cause of death: Too much fire in the belly!

Coronavirus Is Bad. Comparing It to the Flu Is Worse
https://www.wired.com/story/coronavirus-is-bad-comparing-it-to-the-flu-is-worse/
"For goodness’ sake, stop. Yes, we know the flu is bad—no one likes the flu. But the gambit of positioning the influenza virus as the scarier of two foes is as dangerous as it is hackneyed. During the outbreak of deadly hemorrhagic fever that hit West Africa in 2014, Americans were reassured, again and again, that “Ebola is bad. The flu is worse".
...
In contrast to Ebola, which was discovered decades ago, the coronavirus strain behind the outbreak that began in China is brand-new to scientists. So far this pathogen has claimed 638 lives, and we simply don’t know how it will behave in weeks and months to come. By telling people not to worry—or that we should worry “more” about the flu—we may end up eroding public trust in the media. What happens if this coronavirus proves much worse than we expected? The Chinese government is already under scrutiny for downplaying the risks. Why would US news outlets want to repeat the error?"

China had to take drastic action against the Wuhan virus because the virus and its symptoms are similar to SARS. They do not know the mortality rate as it is a new virus. What if it turns out to be 10% as with SARS and a very much greater rate of infection?

So do not belittle China's response because it is "totalitarian".

"According to new estimates published today, between 291,000 and 646,000 people worldwide die from seasonal influenza-related respiratory illnesses each year, higher than a previous estimate of 250,000 to 500,000 and based on a robust, multinational survey.

The new estimate, from a collaborative study by CDC and global health partners, appears today in The Lancet. The estimate excludes deaths during pandemics."

Please note the term "seasonal influenza-related respiratory illnesses" for the 650,000 death and not not 650,000 death due to seasonal flu globally. Lipkin's actual words:"...noting that globally up to 650,000 people die from it each year." It is simple scare mongering to sell flu vaccines!

"Official Chinese data of flu-caused deaths is much lower, with Chinese CDC data showing that in 2018, there were more than 700,000 cases and 144 deaths."
