Coronavirus "2019-nCoV", Wuhan virus, pandemic or epidemic, transmission routes, protective measures, therapies, vaccinations,
The coronavirus "2019-nCoV" is a novel type of the coroanavirus family.
Transmission: It can be transmitted from animal to human, but also from human to human.
Infected persons can infect other people after a few days, even if the disease has not yet broken out in them.
The incubation period ranges from a few days to 15 days. (Preliminary estimate!)
Particularly dangerous are persons who infect others, but have hardly any symptoms themselves. How long these persons are infectious is unknown for the time being. Theoretically a "superspreader" can infect thousands of people before it is discovered. If it is discovered at all, because a blood test is required.
Transmission routes: all body fluids and excretions
The transmission by droplets is particularly dangerous. Microscopically small amounts of fluid, such as those released when coughing or sneezing, are infectious. Important information in this context: when coughing or sneezing, the viruses are often "sprayed" for several metres. The mouthguard can prevent this or reduce the distance considerably.
Particularly endangered groups of people are, as usual, old and sick people. However, since factories are also being closed, other population groups also appear to be at risk. Logically, mortality is likely to be particularly high among people who have already suffered damage.
Protective measures: Masks have different qualities, but in any case they reduce the range of the material ejected. The permeability of the masks is often very high, and as extremely small viruses, they do not hold back.
Additional protection by a plastic "shield" is recommended.
Thermoscans can help to detect infected persons, but they are no guarantee that the person tested is actually virus-free.
Tests for the corona virus are covered by the health insurance companies if you have been in China or have been in contact with already infected persons. It is not clear for the time being whether the tests are 100% successful. Therefore, to be on the safe side, a second or third test is usually performed.
Disinfection measures of all kinds are also helpful. This includes above all hand washing. But also changing clothes, washing hair etc.
Therapies currently consist mainly of symptomatic treatment, e.g. lowering fever, artificial respiration, etc.
Vaccinations will probably be available in a relatively short time, i.e. in 3 to 4 months.
The best protection is a sufficient distance to infected persons or strict quarantine of the infected persons. This is not discrimination, because ultimately the virus will also affect white or dark skinned people.
Outlook: currently the number of infected people doubles every three days. Today is Sunday 2 February and we have officially 14 000 infected people. That would mean that if there are 50 000 infected people or more next Sunday, then we must expect a pandemic. This is not scare tactics, it is simple mathematics. If there are fewer, then the peak has been passed and the virus is on the retreat.
To appease them, the flu deaths, or the road deaths, are often used. Particularly bizarre recently is the reference to suicides.
That is ridicoulos! Currently nobody knows how the epidemic / pandemic will develop.
