CNN claims that Corona virus causing racism
But In the article:
“In Vietnam, signs have been seen outside restaurants declaring "No Chinese."”
“Similar signs were also posted outside a Japanese shop, turning away Chinese customers.”
Oh, CNN
It's probably already posted, but CNNPolitics tweeted out a picture of Trump's task force on ncov critiquing it for being too white
seriously
these people are irreparably broken

Yeah that's what I'm curious about. If you can get the same strain again immediately that would suck.

Most people build sufficient antibodies to the same strain, but it's possible to be reinfefted and fail to fight it off if your immune system is weak.
The bigger issue - as is the case with the majority of viruses - is the plentiful subtypes that differ enough to withstand your antibodies. It's the reason why you catch so many "common colds".

It’s absurd that we have not shut down flights to and from China yet. Absurd.
It's not absurd at all when you realize it's ineffective.
However, it does make constituents happy, so it's politically popular. It's a tough call as a result. I prefer we let airlines and the general public make the decision for themselves.

DELTA TO SUSPEND CHINA FLIGHTS FEB. 6 THROUGH APRIL 30

What's the point in waiting? If you have already made the decision, you are admitting that the situation requires action (whether it is to protect the company or the population in general). I just don't see the point of saying "we are going to stop flights, just not yet. On Feb 6th it will be bad enough to stop them."
Refunds for existing tickets paid for shouldn't factor into this decision.

one thing that just popped in my head, and it may be mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but the Summer Olympics are not far away and Japan is awfully close to this whole thing
COULD cause a mess down the line

Translation: premed but no med school. Assistant to the regional manager at Burger King.
Actually never pre med. Most premed pick another major because it’s needlessly harder to get a competitive GPA.
You finding the need to try an ad homeium attack is funny though. Especially one generated by selectively following evidence. Sounds familiar.
Anyway, the thread isn’t about me. Someone asked, I answered. I don’t care what you would like to believe my role actually is.

I can tell! molecular biology research is what I do. Lots of qpcr, sequencing, etc.on Non human pathogens, so you caught my attention haha
No no no.
You just aren’t perceptive enough.
I’m a med school drop out reminiscing of days designing and expressing fusion proteins between pulling batches out of the fryer.
Would you like fries with that, sir?
(If you are at all curious, my furthest focus was tagging acetyl-CoA carboxylase from K12 E.coli with GFP for in vivo cellular localization under different metabolic states for the purpose of assessing viability as an novel antibiotic target for MRSA)
DING! Fries are done!

Call me naive, but I don’t think this thing is as contagious as people think... I just think there would be a whole hell of a lot more cases in the US and Europe if so.
It’s too early to make that call, but I’m encouraged too.
The factor I think is artificially suppressing it is that SO much attention is being given to cases, so they are being isolated, and everyone they came into contact with is scrutinized.
It certainly doesn’t seem to have a lingering presence on contaminated inanimate objects though.
But we can’t make a case of overall contagious-ness until it breaks out those tightly controlled rings.
I think mildly more contagious than normal flu is a fair assessment, with the cultural preference to dine from common plates in China contributing to rapid spread.

I believe they are saying infection from a new strain.
As for the statement that reinfection of the same virus is likely: that isn’t an insidious trait of this virus in particular, or a statement that the virus is spewing clinically relevant substrains.
Coronaviruses are all enveloped, which means the virus hides under a sheath of celular membrane. This makes it easy to hide and dodge immune systems and responses at the cost of being more vulnerable outside of the host (aka can’t persist on a door knob).
Viral function can be left intact with only minor alteration to viral glycoproteins, which is the only antigens your immune system can target.
It’s not unheard of to have a persistent infection from dealing with an enveloped virus, where it changes its antigenic presentation constantly just enough to prevent the immune system from wiping it out entirely (this trait is speaking of the overall grouping, not coronaviruses in particular).

If you are infected, you have a 2.197% of dying.
Every person on this board will survive this.
Worry more about the attempted coup in our country, the food you eat, the water you digest, or a host of other things that are more detrimental to our collective than this bullshite.

Delta on Friday said its China service suspension will begin Feb. 6 and last through April 30, but it will continue to operate the service until then to “ensure customers looking to exit China have options to do so.”
