2019-nCov: NHL Season SUSPENDED

[Paddyjack]

that's interesting, never saw that before. man people need to slow down in their cars, holy shit that's a lot of auto accident deaths. Granted I should take some caution there myself.

I know that in the coming years Alzheimer's is going to go way up on this list but I expect cancer will drop in the next 10-20 years as I do a lot of research/investing in bio-tech stocks.

One people commented below the video: "thanks, now I'm not afraid of dying from the coronavirus but I'm scared of cancer, stroke and dogs, thank you for that"

one of the companies I own stock in will start human trials in the US in a few weeks.

Glaxo ?

Anyway , there sure is panic. Prominent types need to watch what they say.

Hard to compare epidemics since RT-PCR tests for this new coronavirus had too many false negatives until recently in the US and China. Since new kit tests are available this week and following weeks in the US, it should give a better picture. Already proven cases going up in that context in past few days.

Best short term hope is from intervention trials going on on China on 1) chloroquine, 2) remdesevir and 3) lopinavir/ritonavir.

Months later therapies using injections of antibodies should be more available and ultimately 18 months from now maybe a vaccine.

Human coronavirus in general are mostly active Dec-Apr so hopefully this will be again the case.

Nobody seems to freak out over it tho....


=================================================
"According to the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries caused an estimated 1.35 million deaths worldwide in the year 2016. That is, one person is killed every 25 seconds."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Annual Global Road Crash Statistics Nearly 1.25 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day. An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled. More than half of all road traffic deaths occur among young adults ages 15-44.

And people are afraid of self-driving cars that would be orders of magnitude safer...

Action doubled in the last 2 days (from 4.39 to 8.02) to hit a high not seen since 2016

Unrelated fact, actions were 60-ish $ back in 1998. They also had a couple days peak in 2000 where the action went to 191$ for a few days then it crashed to 2.50 in 2002.

Just thinking out loud.

11 deaths in US. Assuming 2% mortality rate would give us about 500 cases. But you don't die in a day, it takes 2 or 3 weeks as shown in some cases.
Seems that there was about 500 cases 2 or 3 weeks ago using those numbers.

BTW, we heard US has about 150 (about 50 according to Trump CDC) cases. But I have not heard of more than 500 tests.
Is it true the test cost 3000$. Because there is no medicare for all.

I have read some concerns about the homeless in California/

My guess is the minute the tests re deployed we will talk about tens of thousands if not hundreds of thpusands in US.

Kind of scary, they are next door.

General textbook guidelines for R0 of 2 to 4 is to keep containment going for at least 3 months, plus I'll add another month there (end of April). But then again, I don't know the data about virulence very well, because its not that available (still hard to know). The issue is the juxtaposition with Flu season. I would try to contain as much as possible until the end of April. But then, I think there are plenty of cases where containment is a long term tactic (Iran?). The most troubling aspect is that we haven't seen a situation where we lost control of tracing as much as right now for a long time, this usually can lead to the frontline being overwhelmed. Community spread is happening faster than expected (my theory is that intestinal gas plumes is how it spreads faster in contained areas).

We got lucky with SARS, we are way past the point where luck is a factor now. Institutions have to work for real and make strong calls or the consequences will be problematic.

I'm on 2000mg of Quercetin a day - this might be something we'll mass produce as a pharmacological preventive intervention. There are some clinical studies of Quercetin vs. SARS showing its efficacy, and a researcher from Montreal is leading a clinical study in China to test it the field on already sick patients. I'm thinking it will be better as a preventive (reduce the R0).

Currently in Panama about to fly back towards Canada.

After I read this post on Monday night I went online and bought some Quercetin with Bromelain. I will get it tomorrow.

Portland where I live have the highest per capita in the US when it comes to homeless people. All over downtown you see homeless people, I used to cut my hair in downtown because my daughter worked there and close to the salon there were tents on the sidewalks.

Many of them aren't even from Portland. Apparently in some southern states they give the homeless person a one way greyhound ticket to Portland. There was a documentary on PBS some years ago where they interviewed homeless people and so many came from places like Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. There are about 14,000 homeless people in Portland currently many of course are mentally ill, it's just a bad situation.

I already have supplies and put extra by extra since a month ago while shopping. At least, I won't be that fool at Costco in 2 weeks fighting over the last supply of water bottles or getting killed on the road by a panic driver who can't find Ibuprofen anywhere. The most dangerous it's not the virus itself, it's how people react in a state of panic, always irrational. Cheers!

Don't count on it and don't forget the vit c and b. Think of it as a 5-10% boost to your immune system capabilities (3-4 years younger).

If you had an injury related to bones (broken arm?) expect some extra healing from Quercetin. Quercetin's effect on the bone-reconstructing part of your immune system is much more intense.

We all know that older people with underlying conditions are more vulnerable and in the state it hits a Lifecare center for older people with underlying health so that explain why there's that many death in the US so far.

Having said that, apparently there's two variant of virus out there (L-Cov and S-Cov).
L-Cov is more dangerous than the other one but was seen more often in the early stage of the outbreak and as days goes by they've seen more S-cov type of that virus.

On the bright side, any alien invasion force would be dead from the inside out in about 3 weeks.

Black Death, Smallpox, Measles, Normal Flu, Covid 19.....

HG Wells was right.

 

[Techcoockie]

You just don't want the flu, cold and the Covid-19 each winter, that's why you try to eradicate it as soon as possible.
At least it adapts extremely slow but his genetic code never changes when it reaches new hosts.

So, Slow adaptation to new "abilites" or "traits" but fast proliferation. Also, close cousin to the SARS and that's dangerous because it can adapts new respiratory symptoms.


Best news is that it can't resist well in hot climate.

weather is good all year long so it's probably one of the reason ?

It's now named SARS-Cov-2.

I sold most of it in an account I manage since it doubled but kept a small amount and I own a few naked calls in my own account. I've been in and out of several of the corona stocks, CODX has been real good but sadly I only bought it in the account I manage. VRTX has been ok, have AIM now and made some money there.

I likely own/trade/watch over 100 Bio's, as I've wanted to start my own bio-tech hedge fund someday.

That is true and also the local government in the city just like in Seattle is very liberal. There are also a court decision allowing "panhandling".

The US numbers are inflated due to a retirement home being the main casualty. This really really sucks for 70 years olds and older.

I sold everything about a month and a half ago and got stocks involved in vaccines and such including INO too

i've been doing a ton of moves lately but it's so hard to time this shit when the market (I only trade on the US market) is in extreme volatility like this.
