The virus has a closer relationship to SARS-CoV-1 with a greater % of markers.

This virus has most likely been circulating for some time, in the same way that they established that HIV had been around since the late 1950s.

It had evidently been circulating in Washington State for some time, as there was already community transmission at the time that CDC was restricting the diagnostic tests.

And another thought - we were in New York and Washington for a couple of weeks in late October last year and my wife ended up with a pneumonia that didn’t go away and she had several courses of antibiotics, which didn’t assist, so it was presumably viral. Cough, sore throat ... took ages to resolve.

Back in 2009 the swine flu was circulating in Melbourne’s northern suburbs long before the State authorities realised - and this article about the DHS’ response is sadly prophetic in many ways:

Nothing to do with health, though.

We can debunk that alien theory too maybe, weren't they three eyed mods missing a hat. [bigwhistle]

I think the big issue is how do we get out of this mess,what to do before a vaccine is available,that is if one does become available.

We can't just stay locked up for ever,for many reasons.

The people we bought our house off , she Vietnamese, he Polynesian/ Vietnamese , gave us a step by step account of how to prepare a flying fox for cooking. I remember the major part of the preparation was cutting some blood vein out. They used to catch them in nets on the banana trees. The fox's are safe with us.

There are a few medications which apparently have shown promise which are going through a trialling process. Hopefully, even if vaccination doesn't become available soon, something like The HIV drug or drenching will be found effective. Both are already approved for humans, they're undergoing further testing.

The only thing that spreads faster than a virus is a conspiracy theory [emoji1787].
