Will be announced soon enough.
S. Korea, Italy & Iran all being hit hard and fast. Japan to follow.
Pakistan has closed their border with Iran. 50,000 quarantined in Italy. S. Korea on highest level of alert.
Pay attention folks. Not only is this historic but the virology and epidemiology is fascinating.
America’s numbers are underreported. It’s in country and uncontainable.
Death rate is 2-2.5%. Most cases are mild. Children and infants rarely have serious complications.
older (55+) folks and people with underlying conditions (pulmonary, diabetes, COPD, asthma etc) are most at risk for serious complication and death.
Some people are asymptomatic but can still shed the virus.
during the incubation period (before symptoms show) people are contagious. Incubation period is up to 27 days.
Precautions:
social distancing
hand washing
hand sanitizer.
virus enters body through mucus membranes such as eyes, nose and mouth.
DON’T TOUCH YOUR FACE WITH UNCLEAN HANDS IF YOU'RE OUT AND ABOUT.
Find authoritative sources other than the WHO and CDC for information.
