Prof Paul Tambyah on the Wuhan virus, contact tracing and thermal screening

[@emptyangel]

excellent reporting... factual and non-sensationalist unlike many other international media outlets.

[@PrograError]

yes, but is it toned down as compared to the chinese state media, no but might have been...

[@leslieharding3202]

Less than two minutes on most media outlets.

[@scottriseborough4530]

Symptoms can be undetectable for 7 to 12 days? It could be everywhere already.... Correct

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpTFe5eIl5ugmtU FYI: Some basic preliminary information for this new SARS.

[@thebootesvoid1056]

The virus is strong because not every carrier had a fever (some of them ended up dying) and the airborne virus is said to be able to directly enter your eyes. Here's a really interesting take on where the virus might come from: China built a lab to study SARS and Ebola in Wuhan - and US biosafety experts warned in 2017 that a virus could 'escape' the facility that's become key in fighting the outbreak www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-7922379/

And how about the people like the lady who took meds to get her fever down and pass right through the airport.

If you are financially able, please donate to Wuhan hospitals to help fight this together! Hospitals in Wuhan are severely understaffed and multiple hospitals have announced since a few days ago that they lack the medical resources needed to provide sufficient care for patients, supplies are being donated from all over china but even within china basic items such as medical masks and gloves are being sold out on shelves and online. Doctors and nurses are reusing masks or making makshift masks out of plastic folders. There are some group efforts to fund and donate items from outside China to ship to Wuhan's hospitals, please keep them in your prayers, and if you are financially able, please also consider making a donation to help provide medical supplies to the hospitals!

Not only that but all type of cell that is functions is to get rid of viruses and unknown cell that enter our body. The reason why our cold/flu or fever is going away without eating medicine in 1-2 days is because our immune system is strong.

[@trailerxsyah6634]

Can the virus be spread if we sit where the victim sat before? Like in the public transport? Or just from human to human?

[@KryaDiere]

No it spreads if say, the victim coughed into their hand, then held the handrail, and you immediately held it where she touched it, then rubbed your nose or touched your lips. It won't spread through their butt skin, dw. lol

@@KryaDiere Or if they cough into the air, people nearby will also get infected.

I don't trust this guy. His posture is giving off a creepy old man feeling. I sense this by him really slouching and leaning in to the beautiful woman with short hair a little too much, I'm also feeling he is give me the vibe he's bothered by the second woman. I get the sense he's annoyed at her for interrupting the moment with the short hair woman when there really is not any special moment going on. Also his tie does not match that's a very hideous choice to not care about. I am into conspiracies and I have to think the tie Choice represents some kind of esoteric meaning. It doesn't match and I know they have a wardrobe stylist not far . Both of the women are dressed impeccably clean and beautiful . He looks altogether sloppy. Maybe the makers of this virus are from America and the red and blue on the tie. Maybe America is next Idk. Red and blue tie with a maroon Wal-Mart button up, and a too large coat of navy blue color and heather grey pants, not a professional look.
