It doesn’t make my top 100 list of concerns. Even if it proves serious and developed into a pandemic I’m in a secluded rural area and have very little physical contact with others.
After my first class in Micro I also developed good handwashing habits.
Shake hands, wash hands. Put hands on a counter, door knob, rail in public wash hands.
Keep fingers out of all bodily orifices and eyes.
I’ve also got a very strong immune system having spent so much of my life in the ■■■■ holes of the world and getting vaccinated for damned near everything at least every three years.
Projecting? Your beliefs on the severity of this virus are based on travel restrictions and rejection of epidemiology. My beliefs are based on science and statistics. Who’s projecting again?
I have no idea Whether I am. I don’t hate actually trump. I dislike some of his policies though. Couldn’t care less about him as a person. But i can make assumptions.
The numbers of reported deaths reported deaths and cases in China have more than doubled since the OP about 30 hours ago. Most are in and around Wuhan, a city of 11 million people. The report says that hundreds of military doctors are headed to the Wuhan area.
My guess about what is happening is that the government is not lying; they are simply delaying the release of information. The reported numbers may just be one or two weeks old.
A similar situation may exist in the US. The number of reported cases is still two even though there were at least 60 suspected cases. One possibility is that the tests show than none of the suspected cases are really the coronavirus or there is a long incubation period before tests can confirm the virus. Another possibility is that many of the suspected cases have already been confirmed, but the government is delaying release of the data.
These “assumptions” do not arise from you. The media are globalists. You get it from them. Every network reads the identical talking points. It feeds right into impressionable people with some
type of reactive grudge. “Orangeman Bad Syndrome”. The choices offered by the left are hopeless. Trump is not lying.
Another possibility is that there are many people who have become infected but have not been tested. The overwhelming majority of those infected do not appear to become severely ill. Why would a person in China or elsewhere with typical cold symptoms go for lab work? This is pretty typical. It is also why initial epidemiology can be more beneficial than statistics in the subacute phase. As the disease spreads, total infection/prevalence becomes difficult to assess while determining deaths is relatively easy (authorities test all deaths within a certain period and location who had symptoms concerning for the virus). As prevalence is underestimated, mortality rate becomes inflated.
" The present invention provides a live, attenuated coronavirus comprising a variant replicase gene encoding polyproteins comprising a mutation in one or more of non-structural protein(s) (nsp)-10, nsp-14, nsp-15 or nsp-16. The coronavirus may be used as a vaccine for treating and/or preventing a disease, such as infectious bronchitis, in a subject… "
