Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Mups it hasn’t been agreed upon by those studying the subject .Incubation period of up to 24 days?

The incubation period has been found to be as long as 24 days (range: 0-24 days; median: 3.0 days) in a study published on February 9. [11]

The WHO said in a press conference on February 10 that:

a very long incubation period could reflect a double exposure.
24 days represented an outlier observation that must be taken into consideration in the context of the main finding of the study.
WHO is not considering changing recommendations regarding incubation periods.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I really do hope so.

These idiots are of absolutely no benefit to this country and, in fact, are nothing but a drain on our resources.

We really don't need them and I for one would be glad to hear of the demise of many of them.

Yes, I'm quite prepared now for the inevitable humanist criticism of my statement.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Ah, thanks very much.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Given the amount of protesters and in so many varied locations, I would be very surprised if many of the protesters had already been infected Annie. Only in London where there have been more infections than the rest of the country put together would that be the case.

I still maintain that Covid19 is not as infectious as we have been led to believe, however, for some the mortality rates are excessive.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

We don't know that for sure OGF. While London had a head start it has spread through the country sharpish and it will be interesting to see whether other regions will see an increase post demo. My own view is that the power of the virus is waning due to lockdown. A virus needs hosts. It's like a parasite. It's like a forest fire. You create a break in the wall and it loses it's impetus. The trouble with containing disease is that people will say exactly what you are saying. If you do nothing then it's a different story. Of course it's less infectious with a lockdown. Of course with a lockdown you have lower mortality. Most of us have not been affected because of lockdown. But this is a very nasty disease. Look at Kate Garroway's husband.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

I'm afraid you are very, very wrong. I have outstanding health coverage and I don't pay a penny. A few years back I had a gall bladder removed. I paid ZERO. A few years prior, I had 4 stents placed in my heart. I paid ZERO. Moreover, if I have an urgent need, I can walk into my clinic and be seen by my personal physician on that day. I pay ZERO.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

The figures are all over the scale. However, the most commonly stated figure is a 5 day incubation period.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Does everyone in the USA have the same benefits as you bakerman?

Re: Chinese Coronavirus

Presumably, then, you have health insurance.

We in this country believe that in America there is a clear distinction between the health provisions for those with insurance (or pots of their own money) and those without either. A 'two tier' health service.

Is this not the case?
