Emergence of a Deadly Coronavirus

^^ All 20 members were dead? Where did get that?

On Israeli news. There are 200 members of parliament, something like that?

I think world governments are downsizing how dangerous the virus is, to avoid chaos and panic.

The 2% mortality rate is a farce (20% of infected are severe cases and the recovery rate is sooo slow); when numbers reach a certain threshold there won't be enough space for everyone to be hospitalized; and so more people will die.

Well we have thousands in quarantine in Israel it is not being contained here.

I guess the coronavirus is affecting superheroes. One of the characters who played in Captain America: The Winter Soldier was Sebastian Stan who played the character Bucky Barnes. Apparently Sebastian is taking the coronavirus very seriously. The Marvel star, 37, was aboard a Delta flight to Europe when he shared a hilarious selfie showing all the preventative measures he took for the overseas trip.

The actor was seated on a plane wearing a face mask covering his mouth and nose, an eye mask and a hooded sweatshirt. For extra defense, the actor donned black gloves and had a pillow across his chest and a white blanket wrapped around his shoulders.

As a result, social media quickly tagged him with a new name "Corona Bucky".

The coronavirus has also affected another movie franchise. Mission Impossible VII stops production due to coronavirus outbreak. A three-week shoot was set to take place in Venice, Italy, but the country has had a recent surge of coronavirus cases. Tom Cruise, who reportedly had not yet landed in Italy, again stars in the franchise as IMF agent, Ethan Hunt.

Yes, I have seen the people collapsing in the street video; It doesn't look like a "just another flu" to me.

To be honest, we have no fatalities, we have 15 actively infected who were in contact with thousands of people, hence the quarantine. It's just a matter of time till it's out of control. Usually only people with compromised immunity or chronic illness are at high risk. This is what we are being told here. We have an excellent health service here. People don't always obey home quarantine, some guy who came back from North Italy ignored the imposed quarantine and infected 3 people and
Exposed thousands. I don't think it's realistic to think it is containable, there are however less fatalities than from flu, recovery rate is high. There is speculation that it remains dormant in the body after recovery like Herpes, and can flare up again,
one woman has had it twice.

Yes. I use Eucalyptus oil in hot water and inhale the steam. Tea tree oil is a great disinfectant also.

This is a good move to slow further spread. It may not be possible to prevent widespread infection, but the more you can slow it down, the more time there is for vaccine development, training of health workers and the general public, and improvements in care capacity.


Italy shutters all schools, universities as COVID-19 death toll reaches 107

March 4 (UPI) -- Italian education officials closed all schools and universities Wednesday in reaction to a coronavirus outbreak that has killed 107 people in the country.

Education Minister Lucia Azzolina made the announcement with Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte during a news conference at Palazzo Chigi, Conte's residence in Rome.

"It wasn't a simple decision for the government, we waited for the opinion of the scientific-technical committee and we decided to suspend teaching activities from tomorrow till March 15," Azzolina said.

"It is a decision of impact, I hope the pupils will return to school as soon as possible."
