There’s no evidence the new coronavirus spreads through the air – but it’s still possible

A recent announcement by a Chinese health official suggested the new coronavirus might spread more easily than we thought, via an “airborne route”. The virus is now known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), while the name of the disease it causes is now called COVID-19.

The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention almost immediately corrected the announcement, noting SARS-CoV-2 was not known to be an airborne virus.

The centre confirmed the virus appears to spread via droplets, direct contact and by coming into contact with contaminated surfaces and objects. The World Health Organisation agrees.

So far no infectious virus has been recovered from captured air samples. This would need to occur to demonstrate the virus was airborne.

[snip]

But smaller particles aren’t implicated in the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

Smaller particles remain suspended in the air and evaporate very quickly (at less than one-tenth of a second in dry air). They leave behind gel-like particles made of proteins, salts and other things, including viruses.

These leftovers are called “droplet nuclei” and can be inhaled. They may remain aloft for hours, riding the air currents through a hospital corridor, shopping centre or office block. This is what we mean when we talk about something being airborne.

[snip]

But there’s more to airborne spread. To infect humans, the droplet nuclei need to contain infectious virus. The virus must be able to land on our mucous membranes – the soft lining of our ears, nose, conjunctiva (eyelid), throat and digestive tract and it must be able to enter our cells and replicate.

There also needs to be enough virus to overcome our early immune responses to the invader and start an infection.

So a few stars have to align for airborne infection to result. [/[snip]

But airborne transmission wouldn’t be a shock

We already know the measles virus can remain aloft in a room for up to 30 minutes after an infected person leaves it.

Likewise, the MERS coronavirus has been captured in infectious form from hospital air samples and found to be infectious.

So there is some precedent.

Ontario couple have recovered but are still testing positive for coronavirus

Ontario’s first two cases of the new coronavirus — a husband and wife — have recovered but remain in isolation at their home because tests still show them carrying the bug, authorities say.

Nose and throat swabs taken since the man was released from Sunnybrook hospital two weeks ago continue to show traces of coronavirus in both him and his wife, who was never hospitalized.

Public health officials are trying to decipher what that indicates as scientists in China and around the world work to pinpoint more traits of the virus, which has never before been seen in humans.

In Shocking Admission, WHO Advisor Says Coronavirus May Infect Over 5 Billion People

5 000 000 000

I'm not usually one for hyperbole, but that's at least a million zeros. And one big iceberg.

Oh well. He was warned. Watch North Korea have no problems with this virus.

I was think is the corona virus the Christmas Gift to America from Rocket man Kim Jong-Un as he rode on his white horse????

Sources said the official had been placed in isolation after travelling to China with the country’s leader Kim Jong-un.

So if 60% are to get infected 40% will not.

So if 2% mortality of infected, then total 1.2% of humanity will die.

That’s about the number that die each year anyway, isn’t it?

Will be a “double down” year for a year or so.

Not terribly alarming when viewed in that light.

I'm pretty sure that the evacuees being held at Canadian Forces Base Treton are supposed to maintain minimum distance of 2m when getting fresh air outside.

Yes, 2m minimum as per CBC article...

I was thinking that last night..

The only evidence I have is that the government lies to us about everything to further prote their control and agenda. Just look at 911.

Where do you get the two percent? It's more like 20% and if you get pneumonia your dead. There have only around 8000 cases that have been resolved one way or the other. Of those 8000 20% have died.

You ask him where he gets his numbers.. where'd you get yours

Except the mortality rate is not 2%.
Total Deaths:1,383
Total Recovered: 7,080
mortality rate = 1,383/(1,383 + 7,080) * 100 = 16.34 %

I realy dont know why people are dividing by confirmed cases .. those are unresolved cases ..still sick ..no outcome yet. they will resolve to dead or cured.
dead / ( dead + cured ) = the mortality rate.
i.e.
dead / resolved cases.

Totals


63,851 confirmed cases (including 10,204 severe cases)

6,723 discharged cases

1,380 deaths

177,984 close contacts were still in medical observation

A total of 81 confirmed cases were reported from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan: 53 in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (1 discharged, 1 died), 10 in the Macau Special Administrative Region (3 discharged), and 18 in Taiwan (1 discharged).

1,380 deaths / (1,380 deaths + 6,723 dsicharged) = 17 % death rate so far
10,204 severe / 63,851 confirmed = 16 % severety rate among infected.
16/17 = 95% of severe cases die.

I hope the warmth is really slowing it down, 20,000 people from Wuhan were just in Thailand a few weeks ago and I've been worried all of Thailand would sick, still may happen I guess.
