Beijing is testing since March 16th, tests are made by the Academy of Military Medical Sciences + CanSino Bio Society
The US company Moderna has also starting testing with the US Gov.
quote: "The unrestrained quest for a vaccine against this virus that has wrecked the world economy has given rise to a merciless struggle between certain countries.
The German government had to intervene to stop in extremis attempts, piloted by the White House, to take over the German pharmaceutical laboratory CureVac"

another well aged trump tweet
- It is kind of astounding that he has such a pathological level of contextual cognitive dissonance. All chronicled too, apparently.Nairn
- It's almost like there's a shard of his psyche somewhere, deep down, that isn't an entirely loathsome entity, and always leans 75% towards his actual truthNairn
- its relevance drowned out by the 99% egoghast running the showNairn

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cor…
David Beasley, director of the United Nations World Food Program, warned Tuesday that the world is on "the brink of a hunger pandemic" as it grapples with the global coronavirus crisis. He said that without action, the world could face "multiple famines of biblical proportions within a short few months."

BJPhanLo - I'm just waiting for the plague of locusts. Oh wait https://www.allabout…_niko

Dr. Rick Bright, the director of the agency responsible for leading the charge on the production and purchase of vaccines in the Trump administration, released a statement Wednesday blaming political motives for his abrupt reassignment.

Via 108 from italy, self Isolation tips.
“This is the 4th weeks of “quarantine” at home, I go outside just one or two times every week to buy food at the supermarket, the situation here is not as bad as it is in Lombardy, but we are very close, the province is on the border and the Hospitals here are collapsing too. Luckily we live in a country were the health system is public, maybe it’s not perfect, but they are doing everything they can, at least on this area, but the situation is so bad that places inside hospitals are not enough and they are working to make new places everyday, even masks and gloves are not enough. I can’t imagine how terrible must be this situation in countries with a weaker health system or in the USA. People don’t understand how bad this virus is until they don’t see it coming closer: there is no more space for coffins at the cemeteries and crematoriums and they are stocking dead people inside the churches, now, near home. What shocked me is to see people everywhere saying: “ it kills just old people” or things like that, like if your parents and grandparents dies is not important. The fact is also that if you are young and you can’t find a place at the hospital with very important cures, you die anyway. You die completely alone and you have no funeral. Now I stop with this horror, it’s different when it’s near home and that’s not a scifi movie, I just wanted to say that because people seems not to understanding it, even in Italy where the situation is not too bad.
There are some “good” side anyway: there are almost no cars outside, no noises, I live in the centre of the city in the most polluted area in Europe and I never felt the air so clean. I can hear birds singing in the morning. I hope we can learn something from this situation, in many ways, but obviously I don’t know, the economic crisis will be the biggest problem after this.

The Stanford study, led by Assistant Professor Eran Bendavid, concluded that the mortality rate in Santa Clara County is between 0.12% and 0.2%.
...so a mortality comparable to that of the flu.
- lol...it‘s a weird planet atm...nyt just compared mortality by country with former years and there‘s lots of more death ppl than usual.uan
- Because it is flu season.monospaced
- while i think this may not be too far off the truth that stanford study is a load of shitekingsteven
- i'd take a punt at the UK sitting between 20% -> 50% immunity right now. we need large scale randomised serology testingkingsteven
- i saw that nyt article, comparing daily peaks with averaged numbers over previous years :-| 2015 was the last bad flu season and 2020 is under.kingsteven
- QUOTE: [this] suggests that "we are very early in the epidemic and many more people in Los Angeles County could potentially be infected."********
- "And as the number of infections arise, so will the number of deaths, the number of hospitalizations and the number of ICU admissions," Sood said.********
- Is it so hard to READ the entire article before misinterpreting it and sharing your bonehead opinion?********
- ^ the difference being that this has a higher R0, 10% get the flu every year, without a vaccine 60-80% need to get covid for herd immunitykingsteven

- Covid-19 can cause blood clotting in some people. The blood clots are what damage organs. Clots in the lungs effectively reduce lung surface area.Turboslacker
- This is the root cause of the high death rates with C19. Doctors are now putting people on blood thinners.Turboslacker
- If you think you have C19, get a pulse ox meter and monitor your oxygenation levels. It's not just lack of oxygen that kills, it's also build up of CO2.Turboslacker
- i also thought Nitric Oxide drugs used in weightlifting could help, pills or gas. Also, wtf, erectile dysfunction drugs are all about NO creation.robotron3k
- David Hockney suggested smokers have an advantage because immune system is kept in check. Seems there's also some truth to that!robotron3k
