https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/02/12/health/coronavirus-test-kits-cdc.amp.html … faulty kits and an instruction NOT to use on asymptomatic cases ? Perhaps I’m being a little unfair on China not identifying cases. Discuss.

It's the entire picture that disturbs me. Too many mistakes. Too much faulty information and advice. I don't see how most people could have a clear picture of the situation. If you weren't on this thing from the start it's hard to understand. I have been watching and still don't

yeah, I've dedicated most free cycles and then most cycles to this since January 24th. It took quite some time to get near the edge of this and I still don't have good confidence in critical areas of knowledge. Very fast moving, and our self-delusion process isn't too helpful

Long incubation 42 days at max, average of 14. contagious as early as day 5. infectious while asymptomatic. Symptoms come on slow and seem to go in phases. Head ache, nausea vomiting, then runny nose, dry cough leading into pneumonia. Average time to death is 3 weeks

average might be lower. we don’t know what is up with the outlier long incubation periods. behavior appears very different from sars

We also know that the same antivirals that work for HIV and Ebola DO help. But those drugs are expensive and hard to produce from what I understand. Could be wrong on that though.

We do not currently have enough, but maybe something can be identified and scaled

How do other coronavirus behave? What are the similarities between them?

I believe they are quite similar. That’s why I am amazed that the concept of it becoming an aerosol and transmitted via the air or a/c on the cruise liners has bemused me. I am no immunologist so can’t comment with any confidence. I’m hoping dannis contacts can elucidate

Right. And not just the cruise ship. It's still possible that everyone we are seeing with it now came into contact with it before quarantine. Several apartment complexes that had been locked down are getting cases spreading between isolated floors. At least it seems that way

more understanding in how virus spreads & infects needed.
anomalies should be flagged & chased. @sanchak74 highlights several
- long incubation
- gastrointestinal symptoms / fecal pathway in some cases
- false negatives in PCR
- spike appears worse binding to ACE-2 than SARS?

please do as good a job as you can on a long form essay blog post (single!) on your argument. focus 80% on the weird anomalies and 20% on hypotheses (prevotella.) you are having a communication problem, but maybe we can figure this mystery
