China Corona Virus #2

[/pine]

It's too bad it takes headline grabbing sensationalism to wake people up...if just half the people that have already started preparing for an epidemic etc...would do so at the onset of a typical flu season...maybe over 61,000 people would not have died from it last season...That's just here in the US...

...In a non reactionary world we are often subject to a herd mentality....

I refuse to contribute to the rush on consumer goods by stocking up.

I believe that I have enough already . . .

Who is dying and who is surviving?: From WebMD

Early data suggested that men were more vulnerable, as they accounted for just more than half the cases, according to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Infected men died twice as often as infected women. Mina says men might account for more cases because they were tested more often, but the "evidence is not strong to make any good conclusions."
It's possible, several experts told The New York Times, that because Chinese men are more likely than women to be smokers, they could be hit harder than women. A World Health Organization study from 2019 found that 47.6% of Chinese men smoke, compared to only 1.8% of Chinese women. Women also generally mount stronger immune responses than men.

Medications Could be a big question in possibly a couple months, because core materials and many generics are made in China and India.

I'm not sure I've heard of any medication that improves chances of survival?

Comfort maybe.

Can't buy a N95 mask in Eugene Oregon, anywhere, they are all sold out. And not even one case of infection reported in the state, yet. People are quick!

I would think anti diarrhea meds and electrolytes would be it.
