2019-nCoV Coronovirus (COVID-19]

"Comparative genomic analyses have shown that SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the group of Betacoronaviruses and that it is very close to SARS-CoV, responsible for an epidemic of acute pneumonia which appeared in November 2002 in the Chinese province of Guangdong and then spread to 29 countries in 2003. A total of 8,098 cases were recorded, including 774 deaths. It is known that bats of the genus Rhinolophus (potentially several cave species) were the reservoir of this virus and that a small carnivore, the palm civet (Paguma larvata), may have served as an intermediate host between bats and the first human cases.

Since then, many Betacoronaviruses have been discovered, mainly in bats, but also in humans. For example, RaTG13, isolated from a bat of the species Rhinolophus affinis collected in China’s Yunan Province, has recently been described as very similar to SARS-CoV-2, with genome sequences identical to 96%. These results indicate that bats, and in particular species of the genus Rhinolophus, constitute the reservoir of the SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 viruses"

Coronavirus origins: genome analysis suggests two viruses may have combined

Mutation of the original sars combined with a similar virus

 

That means you're in the clear Ty

 

Love It.......

Sovereign Hill has closed for the duration of the Coronavirus pandemic. Bad news for the local economy.

Death rate 82 days in is 1.4 %

If seasonal, which it is, it will normalise down 0.3%- 0.4% at the end of one year

So three times as deadly as the seasonal flu without a vaccine. If vaccine is 50% effective, twice as deadly as the seasonal flu

 

Now That's Just Mean.... ........BUT........That Didn't Stop Me From LOL..ing...Loud And Long...



Cheers Glen.

 

Not funny.

 

Thanks Granite!
You take care as well (it sounds like you are)

They are turning away people here for testing. We still have a big shortage of tests

 

Tommy Robinson Stops Coronavirus Attack In The UK!

 

I dreamed I was eating sushi last night.

 

It's your unconscious mind telling you to find yourself a new squeeze.

 

But how?

 

Oh I dunno. Probably need to put that on hold until after global pandemic.

 

.

169 yesterday... 247 today. Three have died.

 

700+ dead in 24 hours in Italy.

Italy coronavirus death toll rockets by 793 in a day, with more than 6,500 new cases recorded

 

There will be a "point-of-care" test for coronavirus next week.
