A research paper published in Oct of 2007: "Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus as an Agent of Emerging and Reemerging Infection"
"The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb. The possibility of the reemergence of SARS and other novel viruses from animals or laboratories and therefore the need for preparedness should not be ignored."
Does anyone know how this is possible?

The population size and density is so different, I don't think it would really be applicable.

If y'all are looking for something to do during the Coronapocalypse, get the Trails games. It's cheap right now on GOG and they will kill A LOT of time.

Wrong, we gotta blame Trump. In 2007 he should of known he was going to President 9 years later and started preparing for the outbreak 13 years later. What a selfish egomaniac narcissit only thinking about his ego and bank account in 2007 instead of preparing the American people for the WUHAN er I mean US VIRUS.

Bad day for the UK with 1950 (+407) up from 1543 which equates to a 26% increase, which is unfortunate given the previous 2 days were 20% and 12.5% respectively. No numbers yet on the death toll though.
On a personal note, working from Home from tomorrow which I'm pleased about, though I dare say it's going to be a challenge in terms of team coordination. Still, it is what it is.

I'm pretty sure Macron already announced it during his speech on Monday evening (the 16th). Hardly "breaking". Surprising from AFP which should know better.

I don't agree with them politically at all. But this is cute. They are both in unique positions and I would do the same thing.

My FB friends are so normie-ish.
I guess it's because none of them are "nerds" or gamers but all my Corona jokes go without a single like or whatever.
Could also be because I only have 16 friends there too.

There are 107k active cases right now. The real number is at least double that.
I am not at all worried about losing this bet.

just a study, don't freak out the Science is still being done.
Study says novel coronavirus can last on surfaces for up to 3 days
From CNN's Jacqueline Howard
The details of a study that found the novel coronavirus could remain on contaminated plastic and stainless steel surfaces for up to three days has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine as a correspondence to the editor.
The study — funded by the National Institutes of Health — was posted online last week.
For the study, researchers compared the "surface stability" of the novel coronavirus with that of the SARS-CoV-1 virus, which sparked the SARS epidemic that started in 2002.
The researchers found that the novel coronavirus could be detected on...
SARS-CoV-2 — the name of the novel coronavirus — and SARS-CoV-1 “was similar to that of SARS-CoV-1 under the experimental circumstances tested," the researchers wrote in the study.
Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses common among animals. In rare cases, they are what scientists call zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans. Researchers have estimated that coronaviruses can linger on surfaces from just hours to more than a week.
A study published last month in The Journal of Hospital Infection found that human coronaviruses, such as SARS, have been found to persist on inanimate surfaces — including metal, glass or plastic surfaces — for as long as nine days if that surface had not been disinfected.
Researchers continue to investigate just how long the novel coronavirus can linger on surfaces and even in the air, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, World Health Organization infectious disease epidemiologist, said during a media briefing on Monday.

Two weeks? That's too soon. The virus is still making its rounds through the populace, and the numbers will inevitably increase as more testing options come online.

Italy’s coronavirus death toll surges past 2,500 – Live updates
WHO urges governments to do more as virus infects more than 184,000 people and has killed at least 7,500 worldwide.www.aljazeera.com
Iran issued a dire warning on the coronavirus outbreak's rapid spread, suggesting "millions" could die in the country if the public keeps travelling and ignoring health guidance.
The Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a religious ruling prohibiting "unnecessary" travel in the country.
Shit getting bad in Iran. I hope there are no countries still allowing travel from Iran at this point.
What if people start trying to escape that mess? What if neighbouring countries don’t get a choice?

So am I doing the math right? The global mortality rate just ticked over 4% and Italy is almost topping 8%?
