The Coronavirus has been humorously nicknamed the Kung flu on many social media sites. But that’s as funny as this virus gets as it is now is surpassing SARS when it comes to the fatalities. The Coronavirus has killed over 800 people and infected almost 40k worldwide.
“The new virus — first reported to the World Health Organization in late December — is believed to have originated from a seafood market in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei.”
“Hubei, the epicenter of the outbreak, accounts for most of the deaths and cases around the world.”
“The first death outside of China was recorded in the Philippines on Sunday. The 44-year-old Chinese man from Wuhan was hospitalized last week with a fever, cough and sore throat, and died after developing severe pneumonia, according to the Philippines health department.
Hong Kong reported its first death on Tuesday in a 39-year-old man who traveled from Wuhan.
There is no vaccine to protect against the virus, although the National Institutes of Health in Maryland had confirmed that they were in the “early stages” of developing one.”
“All levels of China’s government have allocated a total of 71.85 billion yuan ($10.26 billion) to fight the fast-spreading coronavirus, which has now killed more than 800 people and infected more than 37,000, the country’s finance ministry said Sunday.
The funds will reportedly go toward helping citizens afford treatment, a statement on the finance’s ministry’s website said. Chinese health officials have warned of medical equipment shortages as hospitals in the country come under heavy strain and face resource constraints amid the mounting volume of cases.”
It appears the safest thing anyone can do is stay away from China for a bit and anyone who may have recently visited. The Virus has hit the United States and has been found in four states so far: California, Illinois, Washington, and Arizona. The symptoms are fever, cough, and shortness of breath. The virus can take up to 14 days for symptoms to appear. They have quarantined areas in China and are trying to get ahead of it, so let’s hope this doesn’t spread further.
LOL…sorry, obama’s swine flu killed 100,00 Americans. Funny how they always leave that out of reporting. Just like they did back in the day of the coon.
This seems to be a VERY late breaking report! ..lol.. the date claims March 27, 2020 but is more like January 2020.
Reevaluation of the mortality rates show that when you include diagnosed (uncounted) people with C19 the mortality rated drops to .06. This is a false emergency caused by the media.
