2-14 days though. Could have treated people before symptoms began showing.
What would the treatment be?
Not entirely certain how patients are being treated. But I imagine its about controlling the fever and not letting it get to the pneumonia stage - which seems to be causing most deaths.
It's the best option. Where else are they going to quarantine 3500 people? You cant just shove them in any old hospital full of other sick people, they need isolation facilities. They've already got them in individual rooms, with no risk of escape, why move them? Fecking stupid would be bringing them into the middle of one of the worlds most heavily populated cities.
Send them back to their respective countries. The US flew their citizens back home recently.
After 12 days of the 14 day quarantine. Big help
And a two day flight back. Convenient.
If you know anything about the eating habits of mainland Chinese, you’d know it’s impossible.
We eat bats in indonesia. Not me but some do
Well, now you know why so many people are dying.
They are supposed to be clean and the trade of wildlife is illegal, but as with many things in China if you know or pay the right people, you can get away with it.
I figured as much. That coupled with the Chinese not valuing human life much.
They’ll clamp down for a while, until they relax things which leads to the next outbreak
That wouldn't be treating patients before symptoms came on, though...
Hopefully. Looking at the new cases graph today and the curve seems to straightening out both in China and outside.
Well you can have the virus without showing any symptoms but I'm not sure what, if any, form of treatment is available for those patients. Still far better than keeping them on that ship.
People I know (Taiwan) with family in China are saying deaths are way more than the government reports. Besides China will never shutdown an entire province because a "few deaths" causing losses of billions of dollars if is not serious. China knows what is there killing all this people and maybe they learn a lesson, for me is man made.
If you don’t have symptoms, it’s unlikely you’re going to seek treatment unless the entire world population is screened. Not going to happen, especially not for something as short lived as a virus, which are prone to rapid change.
There's an irony somewhere in this...

None of the people in Iran who tested positive had been to China, or been in contact with anyone who’d come from China? Well it must have been brought in somehow
That suggests it's been there longer than they know, or they could have been trying to stop the news getting out.
Or that they *puts tinfoil hat on* aren't suffering from coronavirus but something else, but that the government use it to keep people in check/quarantine.
That might not be too mad a suggestion, Iran are holding parliamentary elections today though it's expected the current regime would receive a boost in voters.
Yeah I just saw that. I know shit all about Iranian politics so have no idea whether anyone would actually gain from any conspiracy stuff.
