There was 1 case in Vietnam of human to human transmission. The person hadn’t been to China at all I believe.

Sounds like all of the cases outside of China are from people who came from Woshun area and not person to person outside of China.

I don’t think it has been long enough to know that. We will probably know by midweek of next week how easily it is spread in the US.

Family members had traveled to Wuhan though.

Thought there were two, Father and son? Both Chinese nationals.

I may be wrong.

Yes, which would mean human to human transmission outside of China.

Some reports say market, some say, bats, snakes, chemical plant etc. Pretty sure they dont have a clue since the patient zero didn't go to the market iirc.

Sars came from horseshoe bats. Probably why everyone is guessing bats.

If they shut down Beijing you might as well Katy bar the door and believe less than zero coming from the Chinese govt.

I was suppose to leave Thursday to go to Beijing then travel north to Changchun. My trip has been canceled because Beijing is locked down. That is coming straight from people currently there in the city. All travel out has been banned.

1) why would a doctor suddenly pass out from this? They would have had other symptoms and shown them prior, thus not be helping.
2). Why are they in surgery? Can surgery cure this virus?

Seems like fear mongering and showing other things and claiming it’s this.

And if video i truly from this situation, what’s to say the doc didn’t pass out from stress and working long hours...

So many possibilities and falsehoods... just don’t believe it.

From the mayo clinic:

quote:
Fluid accumulation around the lungs (pleural effusion). Pneumonia may cause fluid to build up in the thin space between layers of tissue that line the lungs and chest cavity (pleura). If the fluid becomes infected, you may need to have it drained through a chest tube or removed with surgery.

Never said he wasn't tired. I'm sure that's part of the problem.

Its interesting to see all the stuff out there. I'm not trying to fear monger. I've also seen reports that cremation is suspect. They literally could be getting rid of bodies and not reporting it. Its def part of the topic to discuss good and bad.
