MPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - CORONAVIRUS
Last evening dining out with friends, one of their uncles, who's graduated with a master's degree and who worked in Shenzhen Hospital (Guangdong Province, China) sent him the following notes on Coronavirus for guidance:
1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold
2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.
3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun.
4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.
6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it.
7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.
8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.
9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.
10. Can't emphasise enough - drink plenty of water!
THE SYMPTOMS
1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days
2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.
3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.
4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.
SPREAD THE WORD - PLEASE SHARE.

More people have died of seasonal influenza in the US this year than the worldwide death toll from this new virus. If you're protecting yourself from seasonal influenza then you shouldn't worry about corona virus.
I am worried about the reaction to the virus though.

The mortality rate is higher with the Corona virus than the flu virus, according to the WHO.

[Gates07]

they have said that 60,000 folks in the U.S. die every year from the flue, wow, so the few so far is not to bad

[The Noof]

More people die of the flu because more people contract the flu.As a percent, the mortality rate is higher with the Corona virus.

Educating ones self, listening to experts and having the facts are key. Dumb @zz conspiracy theories and alternative facts won't cut it. Easy to talk smack until one or ones family member contracts it and it grows into full blown respiratory failure. Whether it will or won't get bad is anyone's guess if one gets it. Anyone with underlying health issues from jump are more at risk. But then again a healthy person could die from it depending. If it does blow up treatment is slim to none at the moment. If anyone wants to know how bad it could get go into a icu unit and watch somebody struggle to breath before they are put onto a vent. Once on the vent there is never a guarantee they can wen one off. Better yet watch someone on a vent that has such a sever infection that they have to keep the lungs moving rapidly to keep them from sticking together on the inside.
