They also said cases were levelling off.

Ghebreyesus has defended the reaction of the Chinese authorities to the outbreak.

We were in this board room for a board meeting and almost all members states were praising China for what it did. And they had a reason ... China took action massively at the epicentre, at the source of the outbreak, in shutting down Wuhan city. And that helped prevent cases from being exported to other provinces in China and the rest of the world. And I remember a board member from the UK saying, verbatim, ‘this is heroic’. Because when you shut down a city like that it has consequences – economic and so on – serious consequences.

seems like China have done all they can.

Going to Namibia myself early March, via Doha. Namibia has second lowest population density and most time there will be in airy and outdoor places. However Doha airport and flights could be a focus for infection. Last time I flew through that airport I caught Influenza which was prevalent there and Australia at the time. Fortunately the vaccine turned what was going to be a very nasty couple of weeks into a two day illness.

Meanwhile Russia is putting penitentiary inmates to making grade quality masks and Putin has suggested stripping licences off pharmacies if they increase price of masks.
They are checking flight passengers temperatures e.g. flights from Prague to Moscow.
India are checking 29 airports and have checked over 1100 flights so far.

A Dublin based company has developed a test which can confirm infection in patients in 60 mins. It's being fast-tracked to China for clinical evaluation.

Damn that Putin is a crafty beggar. I thought the grabbing of Crimea was pretty stealthy, but now he's gone pure ninja to nab the Czech Republic without a murmur.

True but what is the fatality rate for someone that catches it?
Isn't coronavirus 1-2%? That's pretty high
Flu seems to be roughly 0.095% a bit of a difference

What's the death rate going to be when people get it a second , third, fourth time

Ehh that's not even possible.

Your body becomes immune to it if you fought it off the first time unless it mutates rapidly or your immune system is fecked.

Nope, antibodies are not lasting long, same with flu, colds etc so you are at as much chance to catch it again as someone who never had it

1st the $1,000 type of overpriced 10 camera hyped up 100px mobile phone show get's cancelled,
next the F1 calander is disrupted somewhat,
now Jeeves informs me Bulgari (fancy watches) Is Pulling Out of Baselworld 2020!

If the next P&P party over in Monaco gets cancelled, will just have to dust off the billards room for the summer, and consider a liquid reducement of the wine cellar.

Not true. You have immunity for a short while about 4 months...

14days average antibodies some med reckoned on the interweb.
Assuming that is, 'zero' mutation, or even full 2nd/3rd wave later in year.

Hence the boat people in Japan may be very good experimental subjects.

A few people have caught it twice in quick succession.The anti bodys last days,this is one area they have some certainty in

Are you sure?
People have caught it, fully recovered and then caught it again?

Or people had it and then things have got worse because of extra exposure before recovery?

Source? Any info I've read says you can't unless the virus mutates.

im not sure,i just recall the urgency of the body not having antibodies long enough to be an issue with reinfection.

wakka12 · 12-02-2020 08:34PM

WHO cautions that the apparent slowdown in number of new confirmed cases does not necessarily mean the virus has peaked

'WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: "The number of newly reported cases from China has stabilised in the past week but that has to be interpreted with extreme caution.

This outbreak could go in any direction."
