Oy, @chrismartenson - the way #covid19 spread thru HK pipes is same as in mainland. HK pipes NOT insulated. Also not barriered between floors, so 'sweat' forms on pipe. A complex biofilm of bacteria forms (some same as human gut biome) that supports #coronavirus movement.

@jackwilliambell Western Washington has 6 deaths. I know they were mostly from the nursing facility in Kirkland and more susceptible to but let's do some math. If we have 6 deaths with a 2% fatality rate then 6÷.02=300 people not accounted for. 🤯🤒🤧🤧🤧🤧🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒

This is not fear mongering or alarmism @jackwilliambell 🤛🏼

Beijing orders everyone back to work...and the local authorities order everyone to leave.

The restart of China's #economy is not proceeding at all well....

"If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS..."

"He's not dead. His hands and feet were still moving."

A #Wuhan resident says she witnessed critically ill #coronavirus patients sealed up in body bags while alive, then sent for cremation.👍 twitter.com/ChinaInFocusNTD/st

This says it all: "#COVID19 is a fast-moving epidemic with an uncertain clinical profile"

#Coronavirus test kits are important but must NOT be the only diagnostic tool used. The full range of clinical tools MUST be used AND reported.

@MichaelRoller @Trillium Not all flu result in the exact same symptoms as SARS-CoV-2 inflicts. Genetic testing can also tell the difference. I know of no other "Flu" that has weeks-long assymptomatic contagious periods and such a long play out of symptoms, does nervous system damage, or results in such serious damage to the heart itself, as well as the lungs.

Secondly, regarding the claim of "Common Flu kills 60 times more people annually than Corona"... that is utter garbage. The source for this stupid bullshit is the CDC as they tried to scare-monger people over the past 10 years into taking Flu vaccines that don't even work. In one year, the CDC claimed 34,000 when the true number of confirmed Flu deaths was only 18. The alleged death tolls from Flu of tens of thousands every year don't withstand any serious scrutiny in the slightest. The CDC's alleged numbers for Flu deaths in the USA don't make any sense, are contradictory, and false.

The claimed "Only 2% of cases have reported deaths" is misleading crap as well. You don't find how lethal a disease is by comparing the number of infection cases, you find it by number of Deaths versus Recoveries. Which puts #covid19 at least 8% resulting in death, and if you exclude China's dodgy claims, it rises much higher.

The team at the Seattle Flu Study have sequenced the genome the #COVID19 community case reported yesterday from Snohomish County, WA, and have posted the sequence publicly to gisaid.org. There are some enormous implications here. This case (see pic), WA2, is on a branch in the evolutionary tree that descends directly from WA1, the first reported case in the USA sampled Jan 19, also from Snohomish County, viewable here: nextstrain.org/ncov?f_division

This strongly suggests that there has been cryptic transmission in Washington State for the past 6 weeks.

We know that coronavirus is very contagious, but we are still learning how it passes from person to person. This new “community spread” case reveals gaps in testing capability in the US that could hamper efforts to slow the spread of the virus. bit.ly/3chu5Wk
