Coronavirus- please be safe

Just saw this doc give a presentation on the pathology of the infected : 4 days from incubation to feeling ill - 1.5 days to peak sickness, 1.5 days to recovery (if able to), 5 days +++ that the virus can continue to spread.

The weirdest thing about this nCoV creation was its ability to spread and infect even during the incubation period… natural viruses dont do that.

The other weird things were that HIV proteins were found in the mix, thus Beijing is trying out anti HIV drugs to combat the virus.

Any thoughts @bwahl602?

I saw that same info that they were seeing the virus contagious in the incubation period, which is concerning if people aren’t symptomatic yet.
The HIV connection is nuts. Gonna read up on that too. Good find.

That’s appalling. And it’s not like the families of the infected can sue their government over it.

Wow, really ugly stuff in the world.

Isn’t serious stuff actually the best opportunity for conspiracy theories? Like 9/11, moon landing, etc…?

Coronavirus is like saying flu.
it refers to a large group of viruses , those while similar are distinct often in detail.
Chances are this refers to a different corona virus

nCoV-19 does not sound as sexy.

Exactly. It’s not a coincidence that they explored anti-hiv treatments back then for it and are exploring it again now for this strain.

I believe the official name is 2019-nCoV, or Novel Coronavirus if you want to say it out loud.

deleted for flags?

lol, so appropriate.

Even if he did know, I don’t think if it would be safe for him to say that here.

Not sure why it was flagged. Deleted the article screen shot.

Lots of Investigative journalism suggesting there was some early warning :man_shrugging:t2:
