"THE PROBLEM" is not that it initially only kills mostly Asians, the REAL FUCKING PROBLEM is that it mutates in almost each new HOST, as is observed in European infected folks, which means.. it may just go "hyper" any time it feels "ready".. after all, it's a DESIGNED monster, right?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78429069


Possible and see post up the page about that.

We are in the fouth gen of this thing, and so far no indications it has mutated to entry by another receptor.

Just going off what I can find v what I can understand. No expert. I might be barking up the wrong tree.

No worries. I dont understand much about it, thats a given.

Looking at the numbers in the chart Germany is 23% and 18% in two studies.

They are not through this yet, but reports are the case severity in individuals seem to be less.

I am interested in the lethality of the virus on asians vs in other ethnic groups. Just because it makes everyone ill, it does not seem to be killing en masse as it is in China. And the virus has been in the US for months, it has spread all over the country by now. All of the "11 cases in the US" bullshit is ridiculous.

Ill have look around for any studies on mixed ethnicity re ACE2, but ive yet to see it.

Any reference ive seen is around country/population, probably to avoid the virulent "thats racist" liberal crowd.

Keep in mind the SARS outbreak was 2003, so no doubt there has been a lot of research done around it since then.

Tip: include the words "scholary articles" in google searches. Its dry reading, but bypasses MSM articles.

Very interesting information there, OP! Thank you much.

I saw you referenced a lower percentage of ACE2 receptors to seemingly correlate to less severity of infection. But I didn't see if there was a study that indicated that was the case with SARS?

My apologies if I missed it. I took a quick break and have to get back to work. But this is the thing that has been really begging for an answer in this entire ordeal.

I feel for the people of China. We know it's far worse than their government is saying. There's no way the CCP would commit suicide by intentionally releasing this on their own people. I'm betting a lab failure. Not too dissimilar from the one in England that let out hoof and mouth.

Thanks for this thread! 5 stars and green for thee!

How can you trust any table of numbers if they are not reliable?

"...it seems unlikely that the virus will spread widely in countries with vigorous, alert public health systems....every doctor in America has this top of his mind. Any patient with fever or respiratory problems will get two questions: Have you been to china? Have you been in contact with anyone who has?"

That quote right there is evidence that our established medical field are doctors who cannot think for themselves, and that they only regurgitate what they learn in textbooks and are told

As such most are useless at every arriving at any truth.

how would any such system ever hope to detect that its source is not from some made up coronivus but something like the outbreak of symptoms from another cause?

There was a dog cell flu vaccine that went out to the world this fall, including china. By asking only those two questions, our medical system is neither vigorous nor alert. The very same organisation that feeds us those tables of numbers.

Not sure if any studies have framed the premise like that. But if you download this WHO paper on the 2003 SAR outbreak, you might find some insights.

The virus is only now old enough that we have more recoveries than deaths. It is still in its infancy.

EVERY country is full of ground zero "victims" who have traveled across the world. Anything you want to claim is a week or more away from being proved and even then it starts with how many infected traveled there.

If your claim is supported in a month or 2 I might give a crap.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76581188


No, what it means is that since there are less receptors, there is less opportunity for the virus to replicate in your body giving your immune system plenty of time to mount an offensive against it. Hence why white people who get it are having milder symptoms. If you have 7 times the receptors, then the virus is going to multiply much more quickly and overwhelm your immune system. So this absolutely is important to how the disease state plays out.

 Quoting: Baldrick


It seems as if the case severity so far is less almost everywhere outside of mainland China. Of course, the database is woefully inadequate at this point, so it is nearly impossible to perform any sort of scientific comparison.

Also, it is painfully obvious that China tried to coverup the existence of its outbreak for at least a month and possibly longer. Also, they did not take drastic steps to try to contain the spread of the virus until it became obvious to both locals and the rest of the world that something was catastrophically wrong in Wuhan, China especially. Even before they ordered Wuhan citizens to wear protective masks and go into self-isolation, medical personnel, particularly paramedics, were suddenly appearing in full biohazard gear without explanation.

Outside of China however, things are quite different. So far, no affected country is suffering from a medical infrastructure under extreme stress. And those who have traveled to China or have had contact with someone who has done so recently are acutely aware of the situation. This probably means that they seek treatment immediately after symptoms arise and in a healthcare system that is superior to what China has at the moment.

In addition, we have had interesting reports such as Thai doctors treating their patients with antiviral drugs that are designed for HIV-positive patients and those with influenza, and reporting surprisingly good results. All of this shows that the widespread and continuous dispersal of truthful, accurate and helpful information dramatically improves the situation, whereas efforts to deceive are disastrous. Whether or not racial or ethnic genetics plays a role in immunity and survivability is also a critical unknown at this point but if so, this too must be revealed to the world populace at large and not shielded for reasons of "political correctness" or any other reason.
