I started creating my own site, everything new will be on it.

Abstract

As a result, I managed to indicate in a popular form almost all the features of the coronavirus, talk about the features of protection, predict the probabilities, and indicate the factors influencing the statistics.
I managed to update the information every day for a month. I managed to write about almost everything related to coronavirus.

The publication is too big. 300000 symbols: 13000 (news) + 170,000 (publication). I will not be able to briefly talk about the content.
Follow the links to the topic you need. Do not be afraid about the large article size and complexity. I made the article as clear as possible.

The situation was in an unstable phase and everything could end. But the virus has found new “broad ways” to spread.
Therefore, country information is now important. In the worst case scenario, South Korea will repeat the fate of China.

My timeline

Extended Facts: Family

02.02

Coronaviruses are a family of RNA viruses that includes 40 types of viruses in 2 subfamilies as of January 2020. They were named because of the structure of their envelope in the form of a corona.
Coronavirus was first isolated in 1965 in a patient with acute rhinitis. In 2002-2003, the SARS-CoV virus appeared in China. (8000 sick, 800 dead).
In 2012, MERS-CoV. At the end of 2019-beginning of 2020 2019-nCoV. In addition to zoonotic (approx. Causative agents parasitize in the body which is a natural reservoir for them) SARS- and MERS-CoV,
There are four «established» human coronaviruses (HCoV).

Extended Facts: Typology

02.02

2019-nCoV: Kingdom: Riboviria, Type: Incertae Sedis, Order: Nidovirales, Family: Coronaviridae, Genus: etacoronavirus, Subgenus: Sarbecovirus
They are divided into 4 genera, which are called alpha coronavirus, beta coronavirus, gamma coronavirus and deltacoronavirus 1.

HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-229E are alpha-coronaviruses (120-160 nanometers), while HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, 2019-nCoV are beta-coronaviruses,1 and 2

Extended Facts: Size

02.02

Viral particles (approx. Virions) are spherical in shape, with some changes in the internal structure (approx. Signs of polymorphism) with a diameter of 75-160 nm (size 2019-nCoV from 60 to 140 / ~ 120 nanometers in diameter).
The height of the protrusions of different coronaviruses is on average 12-24 nm (2019-nCoV 9-12).

Extended Facts: Other

26.01

Different types of coronaviruses infect humans, cats, birds, dogs, cattle, pigs and hares, bats, camels and other animals.

Extended facts: Structure

02.02

Coronaviruses — viruses with a positive RNA chain (+ RNA) in comparison with other RNA viruses have an exceptionally large genome (from thousands of base pairs) and use a complex process strategy (approx. Expression of the genome.),
where hereditary information (DNA nucleotide sequences) is converted to RNA or protein.

They have a polycistronic (approx. Number of sides) genome organization and use a unique transcription mechanism to generate a nested set of subgenomic (sg) mRNAs.

Coronaviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that encodes 4–5 structural proteins, including the outer membrane protein (N), matrix protein (M), small membrane protein (E), spike (S) glycoprotein (protein), which ensures cell binding and penetration.
Some beta-coronaviruses have a protein (glycoprotein) (HE) that some enveloped viruses use as an invasion mechanism. HE helps in the attachment and destruction of certain sialic acid receptors.
that are on the surface of the host cell… 0.

Symptom Data: Invasion<

02.02

SARS-CoV and the similar 2019-nCoV begins its life cycle by binding its viral particle through a two-component protein (glycoprotein),
which is encoded by the S-segment of the virus genome with the ACE2 receptor on the target cell, and the virus particle is captured by the process of capture of external material by the cell.

Its protein S changes position to facilitate fusion of the endosomal membrane and the release of the RNA genome into the target cell.
After transcription and translation, the viral structural and non-structural proteins and genomic RNA are then assembled into viral particles (approx. The virus is assembled from the components),
Then they are transported through intracellular organelles and released from the target cell.

Symptom Data: Main Symptoms

26.01

Symptoms are generally similar to similar coronaviruses: cough, fever, shortness of breath, chest pain…
The virus is difficult to distinguish from ordinary diseases and it is not always possible to determine the disease with a thermal imager.

02.02?

Irregular cases of signs different from other coronaviruses were recorded at the Wuhan People’s Hospital: Some patients had a poor appetite in the first stages, fatigue, mental problems, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache. Only after a while did pulmonary pneumonia symptoms begin to be observed.
There is definitely nothing good about the variable characteristics; this may be, in part, a sign of mutability and significant differences in viral samples (polymorphism) or even virus instability.

02.02?

Recently, in the medical journal Lancet, information appeared about the disease of an entire family, including a child.
This is the first such case. Scientists have found very high infectiousness of the virus, the chance of infection with the proximity of the diseased is high.

Similar signs of three coronaviruses

28.01?

Scientists have confirmed that coronavirus belongs to the same group of viruses as the causative agent of SARS-CoV SARS, as well as the strain of Middle East respiratory syndrome MERS-CoV. Hundreds of people died from diseases caused by these viruses.

The 2019-nCoV genome is very similar to the already known coronaviruses. It's RNA most (96.2% nucleotide coincidence) was similar to the RNA of a virus similar to the SARS virus found a couple of years ago in bats Rhinolophus affinis in Yunan Province.

According to other studies, the 2019-nCoV gene is 79.5% identical to SARS-CoV SARS RNA. It retained one of its five sites.
He also has the same receptor (ACE2).

However, there is a high probability that the new virus differs from SARS and from the bat virus, including mortality (-) and transmission rate (+), more about this below.

Gaps in understanding coronavirus source

26.01

There is a significant chance that scientists do not yet fully understand the nature of the 2019-nCoV coronavirus, or even make mistakes again, as was the case with the hCoV-EMC virus detected in 2012.

One case from the past ,1

At that time, it was also suggested that hCoV-EMC and SARS had the same infection pathway, but this was not confirmed after studies.
In 2012, as a result of studies at the University of Bonn Medical Center at modifying hamster kidney cells, scientists forced them to produce ACE2 human receptors.

SARS-coronavirus was able to enter these cells, but hCoV-EMC did not succeed — this proves that the hCoV-EMC virus does not need ACE2 receptors to enter the cell.
What is most interesting, then it was not possible to establish which receptors are needed by hCoV-EMC.

One case from the past ,2

26.01

Also, a signal that scientists still do not fully understand the origin of the virus can be a recent statement that the current virus was transmitted from snakes, which many scientists consider unlikely.

Nature magazine published commentaries by leading virologists from around the world stating that snakes could hardly have been the source of a new coronavirus.
Establish which receptors are needed by hCoV-EMC.

Understanding Gaps: Probably Wrong Hypotheses

28.01

There is a hypothesis that the 2019-nCoV virus was obtained in the laboratory from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. (approx. Then there were scientific articles hinting at this; see paragraphs Understanding spaces: Probable medium, studies, 2 and 3)
However, I believe such hypotheses are not yet sufficiently substantiated.

Understanding Gaps: A Possible Carrier, Research

28.01

Another group of researchers at the Wuhan Institute believe that the most likely carrier of coronavirus 2019-nCoV was a bat.
Moreover, most likely this virus is a hybrid of another coronavirus. They believe that this coronavirus is very similar to the one that occurred in 2003 (SARS).

Later, Xinguan Li and his colleagues from Wuhan University of Bioengineering recently suggested the sequencing of the 2019-nCoV genomes and other coronaviruses,
that the causative agent of the current epidemic arose as a result of the hybridization of the viruses of bats and snakes, and another group of scientists came to other conclusions.

Understanding Gaps: A Probable Virus Carrier, Research,1

28.01

There was a study indicating that the region of the receptor binding domain of the S gene was taken from the ZS bat-CoV virus (80% similarity).
This is a new virus with a more efficient receptor binding domain.

Understanding Gaps: A Probable Virus Carrier, Research,2<

28.01

Some people had no connection with the market

The initial hypothesis about the origin of the virus through the Wuhan market may not be entirely true. Details were described as the first 41 hospitalized patients in whom the new 2019-nCoV coronavirus was confirmed.
According to researchers, 13 out of 41 cases had no connection with the seafood market.

Researchers isolated the virus from the fluid obtained from the bronchi of patients, sequenced the RNA found there. These actions were carried out on five more patients.
That allows 2019-nCoV to be considered a snake virus, scientists have not found.

Understanding Gaps: A Probable Virus Carrier, Research,2

28.01?

It was found that the entry point of the 2019-nCoV virus into the human or animal organism is the same as in the case of the SARS SARS virus — ACE2 receptors.
The virus joins them with its suction cups and then injects its RNA into the cell.

Receptors are located in cells located deep in the lungs. SARS discovered in 2003 the method of penetration through ACE2, this makes the new coronavirus and SARS very similar.

The difference in the genome of different samples of the virus is very small, which indicates that the hybrid virus appeared no earlier than the end of October 2019.

Gaps in understanding the coronavirus Source: A study that was conducted hCoV-EMC

28.01

In a typical case, a typical coronavirus that comes from bats is transmitted to another animal species or person, it ceases to infect bat cells.

In the case of hCoV-EMC, he continued to do so, as was proven by the center.

Gaps in understanding:Summary

26.01

The most likely options are: hybridization with an unknown virus. Hybridization of viruses from a bat and a snake. More research is needed.
It is necessary to carry out work to refute some of the speculative theories.

Coronavirus most likely crossed the cross-species barrier to humans, most likely, through the intermediate link — a domestic or wild mammal (for example, MERS passed from bats through one-humped camels, and SARS through presumably vivver). Beta-cononaviruses are found only in mammals, including humans. Therefore, many do not believe in the option of snakes.

Features of coronavirus, including especially important.

Features of coronavirus: Incubation period

29.01?

The incubation period can reach 14 days.

Possible origin: Virus transmission methods: Contagiousness (Copy)

04.02

There is information about the high infectivity of the virus during the incubation period. (From 2.0 to 4.0) This was stated at a press conference in Beijing by the Head of the State Committee for Healthcare of China Ma Jiaovei.

Some experts do not believe about the contagiousness of the virus during the incubation period.
“I seriously doubt that Chinese government officials have any evidence to support this claim. “I don’t know any evidence that over 17 years of working with SARS and MERS coronaviruses (they often compare the new coronavirus 2019-nCoV with them — ed.), It was discovered that someone got infected during the incubation period,” said Michael Osterholm, Director of the Center for Research and Policy on Infectious Diseases at the University of Minnesota.

Possible origin:

26.01-28.01

Now we can assume several options:
Origin from bats and an unknown animal like the hCoV-EMC coronavirus or bats and snakes. In the second case, this is a unique case, since it is a transmission from cold-blooded, albeit partial.

Perhaps the infected bats hit the market in Wuhan, where they sell them, including for cooking in the form of soup, a local delicacy.
Markets such as the Wuhan fish market (where they sell different kinds of animals) are a haven for the spread of coronavirus, like the current one or what happened in 2003 (SARS). So the emergence of a new virus was only a matter of time. Some virologists regularly reminded of this.

Possible origin: Summary:required actions

26.01-28.01

Despite these reports, there are several important signs, most likely not taken into account, that could shed light on the characteristics of the virus.
For example: research is needed on the likelihood of a virus surviving in an environment outside the body, as well as studies on the interspecific transmission of the virus as was done with hCoV-EMC.

Thus, it would be nice to conduct a study on this topic, to conduct a similar experiment with a new coronavirus. So you can see other features of the new virus.

Possible origin:Summary:Suspicion<

26.01-28.01

If my suspicion is confirmed, then the new coronavirus has at least several variants of the disease vector:
humans, pigs and some species of bats. This is very bad since it is not known whether the authorities take this problem into account.

In addition, the high probability of mutations of this virus can be dangerous and can lead to the appearance of an easily passing interspecific barrier, a “universal” virus.
By removing the dependence of the virus on a particular receptor or by increasing the number of possible methods of infection, such a virus can be obtained.
Sooner or later, similar coronaviruses may appear, which can be very disastrous

Section 2: A Brief History of Medical Remedies

At the beginning of the XVII century, French physician Charles Lorm created a suit that was supposed to protect doctors from illness, created a suit for «plague doctors»
Composition of the plague doctor’s suit: Thick waxed coat, gloves, hat with brim, “crow” mask, which covered the whole face.

The nose of the mask was stuffed with hay, dried herbs (lavender, mint, cloves and so on), spices, camphor or laid with a sponge dipped in vinegar.
At that time, it was believed that the disease was caused by odors (miasma), so the mask was created to drive away from the smell but actually acted as a respirator.
The openings for the eyes in the mask were covered with glass, and the “plague doctor” himself interacted with the patient or the deceased mainly with a cane.

In the 1860s, the famous hygienic physician Joseph Listerov created the theory of antiseptics. Since that time, more attention has been paid to the protective medical “uniform.” The doctor’s white coat was introduced in the second half of the 19th century. Rubber gloves for protecting hands appeared in 1886 at a US military hospital.
A gauze-watt bandage appeared only in 1916-18 — as a protection against the Spanish epidemic. Already in the 20-30s, masks were required to be worn by medical personnel.

Section 2: Features of protection against the virus: Treatment and prevention

Protection Features: Treatment

26.01-28.01

ВОЗ не рекомендует какие-либо конкретные меры по лечению болезни дома. В случае симптомов рекомендуется обратиться за медицинской помощью.

04.02

It is possible that rather toxic ribavirin may be effective, which in itself has a teratogenic effect (can cause fetal malformations) and can lead to death due to suppression of blood formation. Therefore, it is impossible for pregnant women and the use is strictly under the supervision of a doctor. He has shown beneficial effects on SARS. In any case, it should not be used due to toxicity.

Protection Features: Treatment Methods (Copy)

27.01-01.02TODO: Добавить методы лечения

There are methods that can alleviate the most dangerous symptoms of the virus:
It is now known that as a temporary measure to reduce the symptoms of coronavirus, Chinese patients are treated with two HIV drugs — a combination of lopinavir and ritonavir, writes Bloomberg. No effective antiviral drugs against the virus exist today.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (EXMO) — oxygen saturation of the blood makes it possible to survive the most dangerous symptoms.

Protection features: Treatment methods. Question from the reader: Effect of ACE2 blockers

27.01-01.02TODO: Добавить методы лечения

Hi, I wanted to ask if COVID19 penetrates ACE2
can blockers of this enzyme help for treatment?
e.g. Lozatran yandex.ru/health/pills/product/lozartan-teva-29982/prices

Yes, they can help in the treatment, alleviation of symptoms. 1 and 1 . Results only in clinical cases.

However, the result will depend on the specific inhibitor, so some drugs can inhibit coronavirus only in words. Thus, such treatment is possible only in a hospital and with an already approved, tested inhibitor.

There are many variants of inhibitors that inhibit the virus in one way or another. And there are also many ways to do this.

Now scientists are testing, including previously manufactured vaccines, intended for other coronaviruses at 2019-nCoV, as just stated
Head of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Xu Wenbo.
Another scientist is trying to enter the country and test samples. Success can make a difference. Otherwise, the vaccine will have to wait a very long time, up to several years.

The US and Russia are already developing the first vaccine options. A certain result is possible in a few months. Research and development are ongoing for MERS-CoV.

1/28/06/02?

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong said they had developed the 2019-nCoV coronavirus vaccine, which already killed 132 people. The team modified the conventional flu vaccine and added part of the 2019-nCoV coronavirus surface antigen to it. The authors believe that the vaccine will protect against both the flu and the Chinese coronavirus.

Doctors at the Rajawiti Hospital in Bangkok say a new approach to coronavirus treatment has improved several patients. According to unconfirmed information: oseltamivir + Lopinavir + Ritonavir.
The Thai Ministry of Health will have a discussion on Monday about this. The doctor accidentally increased the dose of one of the drugs.

Now the approach is used only in severe cases. It is too early to talk about the universality of this approach and it is not worth buying these drugs in the hope of self-medication. If this approach is confirmed in the world, it will be an additional opportunity to save patients and will be used in practice.

The good news: Attempts to use all possible combinations have had their effect.
The good news: One of the antibodies that was created against the SARS epidemic of 17 years ago is able to neutralize the coronavirus of the new strain.
bioRxiv has material on this subject.

This refers to the CR3022 molecule, which is effective against the SARS virus. Scientists have determined that this antibody also actively joins the 2019-nCoV virus.

Other antibodies that are much more effective than CR3022 do not respond at all to 2019-nCoV. They target ACE2 ribosome binding sites. These antibodies could not bind the 2019-nCoV spike protein,

Coronaviruses are attached to cell receptors using a spike protein. This triggers changes in the structure of the spike protein and leads to fusion between the viral and cell membranes.

This indicates that the difference in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) region of SARS-CoV and 2019-nCoV has a critical effect on the cross-reactivity of neutralizing antibodies, and that it is still necessary to develop new antibody-targeted antibodies produced by immune cells belonging to one cell clone that could specifically bind to 2019-nCoV RBD.

Information on the specific structure of the receptor-binding domain is also confirmed in another study. Read more at: Receptor binding domain as a target for the development of SARS vaccines.

Biologists believe that the use of CR3022 in combination with other substances «compatible» with the 2019 pathogen makes it possible to quickly synthesize the first drugs.

The good news: Australia has announced the successful creation of a laboratory version of the Chinese coronavirus.

02/01/20120

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong said they had developed the 2019-nCoV coronavirus vaccine. The team modified the conventional flu vaccine and added part of the 2019-nCoV coronavirus surface antigen to it. The authors believe that the vaccine will protect against both the flu and the Chinese coronavirus.
Unfortunately there is no more specific information.

03.02 2020

In Thailand, cases of cure patients were recorded using a combination of drugs. According to some reports: Oseltamivir (dosage was increased) + Lopinavir + Ritonavir. It is too early to talk about the full use of this method around the world. A meeting will be held at the Thai Ministry of Health on Monday. A possible application of the method will be discussed there.

Do not try to use a similar combination at home.
So far, the necessary studies on the effectiveness of the triple combination in such a dosage have not been carried out. The drugs have many side effects, some of which are severe, in addition, the drugs are quite expensive.
Even doctors use this option only in the most severe cases.

A similar combination has already been used in medical practice incl. separately

04.02 2020

GeoVax, a biotechnology company, has signed a letter of intent with BravoVax, a vaccine developer based in Wuhan, China, to jointly develop a coronavirus vaccine using the 2019-nCoV genetic sequences.

Inovio Pharmaceuticals is partnering with Beijing-based Advaccine Biotechnology to advance the development of the INO-4800 vaccine. The vaccine is a potential treatment for 2019-nCOV.

Clover Biopharmaceuticals is developing a recombinant subunit vaccine using patented Trimer-Tag technology. The company is developing a vaccine based on the S-Trimer protein of the 2019-nCoV virus, which is responsible for binding to the host cell and causing viral infection.

Vaxart is developing an oral recombinant tablet vaccine using its own VAAST oral vaccine platform.

CytoDyn considers Leronlimab (PRO 140). The drug is already in the second phase of clinical trials as a treatment for HIV.

Remdesivir (GS-5734): China has filed a new patent for a drug created by Gilead Sciences Inc., which, according to its scientists, can fight against coronavirus.

Biocryst Pharma Halidesivir (BCX4430) is a Potential Antiviral for Coronavirus

Section 2: Features of the virus protection: masks: Pros and Cons

Why WHO, other doctors do not recommend the use of masks. Why you can still use them

Cons of PPE

16.02

Usually referring to medical masks and not respirators. The effectiveness of medical masks is only if most people use them, or patients wear them to prevent the spread of the virus.
Cause a shortage of masks and respirators for doctors.
Some manufacturers warm their hands on masks. Some protective equipment can be quite expensive.
It is necessary to change or inactivate the virus on masks and respirators.
The difficulty of inactivating (destroying) the virus in masks and respirators.
You may forget to inactivate masks. It is necessary to keep personal statistics and control.
It may be necessary to understand the characteristics of the survivability of the virus and its inactivation (below in the article), to have the appropriate reagents and equipment.

Pros of PPE

16.02

There are a large number of cheap and completely reliable respirators until they are sold out.
The effectiveness of the respirators of the corresponding categories has been proved (in more detail below).
You can effectively protect yourself if you strictly follow the instructions.

Section 2: Features of the virus protection: masks: Features

Protection Features: Masks: If

26.01-28.01

If the virus is transmitted through the lung receptors (ACE2), it is likely that the virus is most likely to pass through the breath, the virus has not mutated, is not similar to hCoV-EMC.

Protection Features: Masks: Disadvantages

26.01-28.01

Conventional medical masks are an inadequate means of protection, especially if they become wet,
in addition, they must be regularly changed, which is usually ignored (especially in conditions of shortage or high prices for them, the press reports that a strong increase in the price of PPE is reported)

Conventional masks are ineffective. There are risks of infection through open eyes and the conjunctiva.
In addition, the unconscious habit of touching the face of many also does not contribute to protection. Therefore, fully enclosed gas masks, respirators are preferable.
The very ratio of the size of the virus to the fibers of the dressings is also not optimistic. Other scientists also consider respirators to be necessary.

More details above in the paragraph Cons of PPE and Pros of PPE.

Summary: Respirators can be used.

Therefore, it is quite possible to use respirators. You can quite effectively protect yourself if you strictly follow the instructions.
In any case, you should not risk it: use gloves and cover any skin areas with clothes or glasses in the absence of protective clothing.

Protection Features: Masks: Best Option

26.01-28.01

Therefore, it is better to use gas masks or respirators with glasses, as a means of protection, devoid of the shortcomings of medical masks and light respirators.

The WHO publication disease-commodity-package states the requirements for a respirator:
It is made of transparent plastic and provides good visibility for both the medical worker and the patient, the adjustable tape should fit snugly to the head and fit snugly to the forehead, resistant to fog (preferably), completely cover the face, can be reusable (made of durable material that can be cleaned and sanitized) or disposable.

Section 2: Features of virus protection: conventional mask: Research

Concerning more specific data: A couple of studies were conducted on the effectiveness of masks, most of which were field studies,
examined groups of patients on the effectiveness of measures. Check out: 1 and 2

A prospective cluster-randomized study was done that compared surgical masks, unverified P2 masks, and the absence of masks
in the prevention of influenza-like diseases (ILI) in households. It has been found that adherence to the mask significantly reduces the risk of infection with ILI,
but <50% of participants wore masks most of the time.

It was concluded that the use of face masks However, during a severe pandemic, when the use of face masks may be more
the spread of the pandemic in households can be reduced. Thus, the efficiency will increase with the number of% of mask carriers.

Virus survival: The effect of water is mostly positive for the virus. (Copy)

04.02

Water, a frequent means of transmitting viruses, can contribute to their survival, but many environmental factors will adversely affect the virus population.
Keeping the dressing wet can help the virus survive.
One study on water: A study of the survival of a typical virus in the aquatic environment

There are suggestions that the environment that forms after a certain time in masks contributes to the conservation of viruses for a longer time.
Because of this, there is a certain risk of infection by touching the mask and carrying the virus.

Summary: Respiratory Filtering Efficiency. (Copy)

04.02

Filtration efficiency of individual face filter respirators (FFR) and NIOSH approved N95 and P100 particulate filter cartridges,
has been tested against viable MS2 virus, a non-pathogenic bacteriophage aerosolized from a liquid suspension. Its size (23-28 nanometers)
The tests were carried out under two cyclic flow conditions (minute volumes 85 and 135 l / min) and two constant flow rates (85 and 270 l / min).
The average penetration of viable MS2 through FFR / N95 and P100 cartridges was typically less than 2 and 0.03%, respectively, under all flow conditions.

Given that the minimum samples of coronaviruses exceed the size of MS2 at least 40-60nm.
An acceptable safety margin for respirators FFP2 and N95 can be stated with a good face seal.
A particle filter respirator N99 (FFP3) filters at least 99% of the particles in the air, but is not oil resistant. 1

Section 2: Host Coronavirus Adaptability

16.02

In simple words, the paragraph below can be explained as follows: The virus can adapt to the host, has some tricky mechanisms, it was not difficult for him to cross the border between animals and humans.

Virus Survival: Adaptability of the Virus.

04.02

Many of the coronavirus proteins expressed in the infected cell promote the interaction of the coronavirus with the host.
For example, by interacting with the host cell to create the optimal environment for replication of coronavirus,
by altering the expression of the host gene or counteracting the antiviral defense of the host.
Many of these interactions affect the outcome of the infection, including adaptation and cross-species crossing.

Virus survival: Interspecific transition

04.02

The number of mutations in the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV spike (S) protein; the interspecific limit for the transition was insignificant.1.Li et al. 2005c (см. Главу 2). .

Chemicals that inhibit or delay the physicochemical processes of peptidases do not affect the penetration of the virus.
This indicates that the use and penetration of the SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV receptors and, therefore, 2019-nCoV are independent of the activity of the peptidase receptor.
They depend only on binding to these specific host receptors.1.

Section 2: Introductory information on the survivability of viruses.

In the absence of host cells, viral populations in the environment can only decrease or remain stable.
Evaluation and analysis of the shape and intensity of this reduction represent the main objectives of viral inactivation studies.

Virus survival: Effect of temperature, a key factor.

04.02

An increase in temperature is the main factor influencing the survival of the virus in the environment through protein denaturation,
nucleic acid damage or decay of the outer envelope of the virus (capsid) Inactivation mechanism

Higher temperatures mean faster inactivation of the virus. At low temperatures above zero, viruses can survive for long periods of time, often longer than the duration of the study. Cold Survival
At higher temperatures, the viral population will be reduced by several orders of magnitude over several days.
Decreasing the population at higher temperatures
The freezing temperature allows viruses to remain stable for at least a couple of months, but in the early days, an initial decrease can be observed. Virus survival at temperatures below zero.

A minimal decrease in infectivity was found after 21 days at 4 degrees Celsius. Heating to 56 ° C inactivates the coronavirus quickly. 1 .
SARS-Cov is stable in feces and urine at room temperature for at least 1-2 days, especially if diarrhea is present (high pH);

Virus survival: Question from the reader..

04.02

There is a question about heating in the Neuromantix building: 0 about heating in the building.
0 The results indicate that additional calculations of the correlation of relative humidity and different temperatures are needed.
It is too difficult to choose the optimal ratio of temperature and humidity at home. An increase in temperature gives a better result in most cases.

Most likely there are no practical studies to increase the temperature in the room as a factor in reducing risks.
However, based on the temperature information, you can try to increase the temperature. Humidity can be chosen to taste.
However, it is impossible to fully defend yourself in this way. 0
To ensure a high rate of inactivation of the virus, it is necessary to provide a greater temperature than 28-30 degrees.

Virus survival: Humidity, an additional factor.

04.02

The relationship between inactivation and relative humidity is not monotonous, there was a higher survival rate or a higher protective effect at low relative humidity (20%)
and high relative humidity (80%) than with moderate relative humidity (50%). There was also evidence of the interaction between AT and RH. 0

Virus Survival: Effect of Temperature, Key Factor. (Copy)

Virus survival was increased by lowering AT (temperature). A similar relationship between AT and virus inactivation was observed for enveloped viruses in liquids and aerosols.
The coronavirus data obtained in this study suggest that although viral inactivation rates are lower at lower antibodies,
nevertheless, the effects of REs on the survival of viruses at each AT are different.

With surrounding ATs (around 20 ° C), coronaviruses can survive for 2 days, losing only 1–2 log 10 of infectivity, depending on relative humidity.
With decreasing temperature, the survival of the virus will rise. The virus can survive weeks at a temperature of -1.

Distribution Impact: Summary

04.02

The bulk of the spread is airborne. Up to 100 million genomes per ml are found in nasopharyngeal secretions.
In 32% of cases in patients, on average, 3.2 days after the onset of the disease and in 68% on day 14
Viral RNA was detected in stool samples in 97% of patients 2 weeks after illness and in 42% of urine tests.
In order to get infected, you usually need to be within a certain radius (usually 1.5-2 m) from the infected.
Perhaps the influence of a genetic predisposition and characteristics as in vulnerable groups (for example, lowered immunity).
Either (contact) to transfer viral particles from objects, or direct contact with mucous surfaces.

Fecal-oral transmission is strongly suspected. 1 .

My opinion: I can say that uniformity of infection is almost impossible. There are situations with a positive opportunity for the virus to spread, and vice versa.
«Positive» situations are much less than negative. Therefore, all these models can do little.

Virus survival: Effect of sunlight activity.

04.02

Sunlight is another important factor causing viral inactivation by ultraviolet radiation.
The presence of an indigenous microbial population negatively affects the survival of the virus.
The presence of organic matter in water has a positive effect on the survival of the virus. Other factors responsible for increased viral inactivation,
include the presence of disinfectants.

Sunlight activity can be explained by damage to nucleic acids through the formation of pyrimidine dimers or other products,
other mechanisms may be involved, such as the excitation of active substances present in the outer shell of viruses or in the environment.

Virus survival: The effect of water is mainly positive for the virus.

Therefore, PPI inactivation methods are important. FAQ on respiratory protection and disinfection.
Otherwise, one could not change the mask and not inactivate the viral particles on the protective equipment. Virus RNA can exist on objects for a very long time. The protective capabilities of PPE are not permanent. After a certain time, depending on the protection class, etc. they exhaust their margin of safety. After this, the transfer of viral particles from protective equipment is possible.
So there are two options: to extend the service life (including inactivating PPE) or change them.

The number of bacteria on the surface of the mask increases with increasing operating time; a significant difference was found between 4-6-hour and 0-hour groups (p <0.05).
1.Replacement of masks is necessary due to the factor of a drop in the quality of antibacterial protection.For example, here is the degradation of static charge:

It is likely that coronavirus retention time will increase on breath-heated and moist dressings. Practical studies are needed.
Probably the features for inactivating 2019-nCoV are generally similar to SARS, but I would like to see real practical research on this.
The factor of preservation of the virus in an open environment may be another unaccounted factor affecting the spread of the virus.

The impact of other measures on the situation, nose washing, answer to the reader’s question

04.02

There is not much information on nasal irrigation (rinsing the nose). 1
Naturally, there is no information on 2019-nСov or SARS. Conducting such studies is very difficult. There are a large number of washing methods. Not all of them have been investigated.

Significant improvements have been made in the control group. This may be suitable as an additional method of risk reduction in addition to hand washing and other methods.
However, each exit from the house becomes a whole mission and it will be difficult to keep track of everything.

Virus survival: The effect of water is mainly positive for the virus.

SARS data are presented. Given the similar characteristics of coronaviruses (differences appear, for example, in the receptor-binding domain (RBD)), the situation can be reliably predicted.

The effect of other measures on inactivation

04.02

Other factors responsible for enhancing viral inactivation include the presence of disinfectants such as chlorine
1,2,1,1, extreme pH 1,1,copper1 or aeration. Some factors, such as water hardness, are less reliable.1

The effect of treatment on inactivation

04.02

The relatively large size of 2019-nCoV (~ 29.9 thousand base pairs and an average of 120 nm, min 60) and the lipid membrane make it susceptible to stages with virus inactivation, including used during production processes,
such as surfactants, solvents (S / D) 1 , waste management (low pH incubation), use of caprylate, pasteurization 1
or heat treatment, 1 , 2 ,
nanofiltration or fractionation processes… The effectiveness of these processes has been demonstrated on other model lipid-coated viruses, which are very similar to 2019 nCoV, for example, human coronavirus 229E and OC43, SARS-CoV and porcine coronavirus TGEV.

The effect of ultraviolet radiation on inactivation, an answer to a reader’s question

04.02

Based on 1 and 1 SARS was inactivated by ultraviolet light (UV) at 254 nm,
heat treatment at 65 ° C or more, alkaline (pH> 12) or acid (pH <3) conditions, treatment with formalin and glutaraldehyde.
Liquid samples of bovine plasma did not contain detectable viable PPV after 15 minutes of exposure (cumulative UV-C irradiation of 2295 J / l) 1
The bad news is the SARS-like virus (2019-nCov) is inactivated for a period of at least 15 minutes at 56 degrees or 254 nm. Better than 20 minutes at 254 nm. This worsens the effects. Not every time you want to spend so much time.
1 With a shorter time, the probability of the survival of viral particles increases. virus inactivation with little information.

The effect of ozone on inactivation, an answer to a reader’s question

05.02

The proportion of live viruses on the surface decreased exponentially with increasing doses of ozone. 0 .
Viruses needed ozone doses of 20-112 min (mg / m3) (contact time [min] multiplied by the ozone concentration [mg / m3) for 90% inactivation and 47-223 min (mg / m3) for 99% inactivation.
The ozone dose for inactivation of 99% was two times higher than for inactivation of 90%. The required ozone concentration at a relative humidity of 85% was lower than at a relative humidity of 55%.

Section2: Summary: Information about the survivability of the coronavirus on surfaces.

Given the basics of the theory presented in the previous paragraph, we can try to predict the features of the survival of the virus outside the body.

Based on the data, you can be more or less confident in a sufficient margin of safety compared to 2019-nCoV.
SARS-Cov virus particles are sensitive to treatment with lipid solvents, nonionic detergents, oxidizing agents;

Probabilities of virus conservation on surfaces: Summary

04.02

In a scientific article, environmental surfaces were recognized as probable factors,
contributing to the transmission of nosocomial viral infections 1 .

The question of whether hospital surfaces play a role in the spread of nosocomial viral infection has become particularly relevant in connection with recent news.

Probabilities of virus conservation on surfaces: Summary,2

04.02

During SARS Coronavirus Outbreak (SARS-CoV), SARS-CoV nucleic acids were detected on surfaces and inanimate objects

Probabilities of keeping the virus on surfaces without inactivation

04.02

Coronavirus may be more resistant to surface inactivation than previously studied human coronaviruses. SARS-CoV was reported to survive for 36 hours on stainless steel
0 However, the AT and RH conditions were not presented for the previous experiment, which makes comparison difficult.

Section 3: Statistics: Notes and Summary

10.02 Some of the data on the schedule disappeared, I had to reload.

Good news. Judging by official data, distribution is slowing down. Because of this, the boundaries of the forecast are quite large.
Perhaps the lag from antiviral measures already affects. The speed of distribution according to official sources has decreased. Good news.

My statistics, some of the data may differ

14.02

Such a large replenishment of the 13th number is associated with a possible peak. However, due to the refusal in China to take statistics of patients without symptoms, the statistics are distorted. Is peak falsification possible?

Statistics: Summary

26.01-28.01

It’s already possible to admit much higher base mortality (not considering the factor of good treatment),
perhaps the healthcare system is at the limit of its capabilities. In the worst case, the ratio of mortality to infected can increase to SARS with the increasing collapse of the healthcare system.
We can conclude that while the health care system has not reached its limit. Therefore, mortality is still much lower than mortality under normal conditions, without medical care (Basic mortality).

26.01

Unfortunately, it is not known how many actually died, but so far the mortality is lower than that of SARS, and the authorities reacted late to the coronavirus.

That is, mutations may have a negative effect on mortality, but the delayed virus factor cannot be ruled out,
either very lucky / the work of the authorities was more effective compared to 2003. However, there remains a high probability of an increase in the number of cases.

Section 3: Approximate Simple Assessment Scheme

26.01 This section gives the probabilities of a possible development of the situation.

We set the maximum probability for the airport in Wuhan, put a much lower probability for the airports. For airports in other areas and slower transportation methods, while taking the weighted average probability for coronaviruses… for the last 5-7 days before the airport closes

We take a slightly greater probability than from the beginning of the spread, we try to take into account how much could get sick, taking into account the age and probability of catching the disease, as well as the possible consequences of the incubation period, and carry out the calculation.

Statistics: Forecast: Assumptions:

26.01-28.01 TODO: Обновить модель в течении 1-7 дней.

In addition, another assumption is possible: if the number of cases can be greater, then is it possible to increase the number of possible deaths on the basis of these thoughts about the possible number.

In addition: achieving a certain threshold of patients complicates treatment, worsens quality, including through a total shortage of medical supplies.
Therefore, this factor should be taken into account.

And, given the large incubation period, a large number of countries with disease situations, etc.
the number of cases may be greater based on the methods of probabilistic spread of the virus, for example, given the number of passengers transported per day,
for example, only one Wuhan International Airport served 19 million passengers, of which 3,400 flew daily to other countries.

The characteristics of the coronavirus, including especially important: Distribution without symptoms (copy)

01/29?

As the preprint of the medrXiv article emphasizes, carriers spread the virus without any symptoms, which was one of my warnings when I started writing this article a few days ago.
It all depends on what progression the virus will develop before the end of the period.

16.02,? TODO: indicate the news

This has recently been refuted. Symptoms do exist but are very weak. So the danger is partially preserved.
The asymptomatic transmission of the virus has been refuted. Symptoms: muscle pain, fatigue and temperature. The transmission during the incubation period has not been refuted.

The characteristics of the coronavirus, including especially important: Distribution without symptoms (copy)

29.01?

The most dangerous indicator is the factor of reproduction of the infection, indicating how many healthy people are infected by one sick person.
This number lies in the range from 3.6 to 4 (approx. 2.0-4.0). And this means that it is necessary to reduce the ways for transmission of the infection in 75% of cases in order to stop the growth of the epidemic. Calculations in the model were carried out according to data on January 21.

According to epidemiologists from the University of Lancaster, the Glasgow Virus Research Center, and the University of Florida Gainesville, only 5% of cases were detected in Wuhan.

For comparison: in the SARS virus in 2003, the infection reproduction factor was 2.0–3.5. However, this virus was not transmitted during the incubation period,
and the symptoms were more pronounced. The reproduction factor after quarantine decreased to 0.4.

29.01?

Harvard epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Dean emphasizes on Twitter that “he’s never seen a 3.8 *** in his life” and expects a “thermonuclear pandemic.” (*** Most likely for typical coronaviruses)
He also quotes from another study, where the infection reproduction factor is estimated at 2.8.

Summary: Assessment Models for Other Professionals

Statistics: Forecast: Forecast model, 1

26.01-28.01

Perhaps Professor Neil Ferguson of the Center for Global Analysis of Infectious Diseases MRC at Imperial College London, has his own methodology and it is different, they counted at least 1,700 cases yesterday. New data on patients (2000 people) correlate with assumptions. Thus, it is possible today at least 2500-3000 patients hypothetically.

Statistics: Forecast: Forecast model, 2

27.01

Similar calculations are provided by another model presented by experts from Hong Kong. According to SCMP, there are already 44,000 infected in Wuhan, and the infection has spread to all the big cities of mainland China. In this model, the number of cases doubles every 6.2 days.

Statistics: Forecast: Forecast model, 3

27.01

For Wuhan, the 11 millionth city in China that became the epicenter of the epidemic, a team led by Jonathan Reed calculated
that while maintaining the current reproductive factor, there will be 191,529 infected.
Closing cities will not help stop the Chinese coronavirus, although it will delay its spread to some extent, experts say, interviewed by Business Insider.
I also pointed it out above. This will only affect the future situation and that is not so good.
The only plus is low mortality. The only plus is low mortality relative to SARS.

Statistics: Forecast: Forecast model, 4

27.01

According to German experts from the University of Gottingen, there has not yet been a peak in the distribution of 2019-nCoV, and March will be a real test for the world. In this case, the number of infected can exceed the result of SARS (about 8 thousand),
however, I expect a much lower mortality rate than SARS per 1000 cases, not more than 40 people per thousand.

Statistics: Forecast: My model

26.01-28.01TODO: добавить модель

My model is much more modest: See in the «Data on incidence» section, a line for a hypothetical number of cases.
in the future, from 8000 (Confirm already tomorrow or the day after tomorrow) –100,000 people will fall ill until the peak of the incidence rate if the health and quarantine system continues to function,
serious measures will be taken, there will be no serious increase in the number of cases in other countries.
This is the most minimalist statistical forecasting model that I saw (I do not have time, maybe something new has appeared)

16.01

It turned out there was a model similar to me. The minimum indicators of my and other models have already been overcome (SARS). If the epidemic fails, 100 thousand should be within 1-2 weeks.

Statistics: Problems with the study:

04.02

Due to the fact that the study of the most dangerous coronaviruses requires specially trained personnel working in laboratory conditions of biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) or 4,
there are big problems in the study of this virus, and only limited data are available on the survival of the coronavirus and the response to stressful environmental factors.

Regular snapshots of the COVID-19 virus (formerly 2019-nCoV) published at the Rocky Mountains lab at the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Hamilton, Montana, are published.
Images taken from an electron microscope. 1
The department conducts research on dangerous pathogens like pathogens of Ebola, tularemia, Q fever and others. Biosafety level — IV category (maximum).
In the USA there are about 15 facilities where there is such a level of biosafety.

World Health Organization Advisor Ira Longini has created another model.
according to the model, each infected person under normal conditions infects another 2 or 3 people.

Even if we halve the rate, a third of the world's inhabitants will be infected with the virus, Longini said.
who also heads the Center for Infectious Disease Statistics at the University of Florida. 1

My opinion: I can say that uniformity of infection is almost impossible. There are situations with a positive opportunity for the virus to spread, and vice versa.
«Positive» situations are much less than negative. Therefore, all these models can do little.

26.01-28.01

Unfortunately, too much time was allowed between government decisions, as is usually the case.
However, in other countries, a partially authoritarian model would probably be worse; everyone will only know when it reaches a certain stage of danger.

26.01-28.01

After the threat was acknowledged, the government’s overall response level was quite high, however, it was expected that there would still be punctures for people, for example, the same video of dead people lying with the living.

16.02.Прим

However, they say that these videos are from 2003 (SARS Epidemic). Therefore, the quality of the shooting is not very high.

16.02TODO:

In democratic models, timely response to a situation is called into question.
The slow response of the authorities of any country is almost an axiom.
Closing millions of cities a couple of days after the discovery of the disease is fantastic.
According to the correlative model (danger — what needs to be done) of a state’s response, this will only happen if the danger is recognized.
In other cases, the response will be at least a week later with significant danger.
Nobody will lose money at city closures to a certain level of danger. This is the main truth about the relative model of response.
Thus, the reaction time of the authorities and the closure of cities with a million people can be called very good. Nobody has yet covered the cities of millionaires.
If 8 doctors together Li Wenliang achieved success, we could talk about an almost perfect response.
In the image below, I present the differences between response protocols and hazards including lag due to the incubation period.
The difference between a real response protocol (commensurate with the situation) and a hard response protocol.

Protection Features: Treatment Methods (Copy))

27.01-01.02TODO: Добавить методы лечения

There are methods that can alleviate the most dangerous symptoms of the virus:
It is now known that as a temporary measure to reduce the symptoms of coronavirus, Chinese patients are treated with two HIV drugs — a combination of lopinavir and ritonavir, writes Bloomberg. No effective antiviral drugs against the virus exist today.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (EXMO) — oxygen saturation of the blood makes it possible to survive the most dangerous symptoms.

01/22/01/02

The use of various types of inhibitors.

For example, Favipiravir is a synthetic antiviral drug that was developed back in 1998 in Japan (Toyama Chemical / Fuji Film). The drug is active against RNA viruses and was used in Japan in 2014 to stop the flu epidemic.
So the drug is not new at all and will not be a salvation for everyone. At best, there will be a weakening of symptoms for those already infected. So there’s no point in buying such drugs healthy.

According to Reuters, chloroquin phosphate, which is intended for use against malaria, has also been shown to be effective in inhibiting a new coronavirus infection.
That is, the drug is intended to suppress the performance of the virus. Such drugs are not a panacea. Such (mainly inhibitors) drugs are at least 50-100 pieces.

Protection Features: Vaccines (Copy)

27.01-01.02

Now scientists are testing, including previously manufactured vaccines, for other coronaviruses at 2019-nCoV, as just announced
Xu Wenbo, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Another scientist is trying to enter the country and test samples. Success can make a difference. Otherwise, it will take a very long time to wait for the vaccine, up to several years.
The US and Russia are already developing the first vaccine options. A certain result is possible in a few months. Research and development are ongoing for MERS-CoV.

Summary: Hazard Assessment

Unfortunately, due to the large incubation period and possible mutations, various changes are still possible, the relatively small number of deaths can be misleading.
Many hint at low mortality compared to conventional SARS, but not only mortality can make it dangerous, but also the high possibility of mutations, a large incubation period, high infectivity and possible cross-species infection of creatures, the possibility of «silent» spread, and other factors that may change the overall situation.

Summary: Possible origin: Virus transmission routes: (Copy)

04.02

here is information about the high infectivity of the virus during the incubation period. This was stated at a press conference in Beijing by the Head of the State Committee for Healthcare of the People's Republic of China, Ma Jiaovei.
Some experts do not believe about the contagiousness of the virus during the incubation period.
“I seriously doubt that Chinese government officials have any evidence to support this claim. I don’t know any evidence that over 17 years of work with SARS and MERS coronaviruses (they often compare the new coronavirus 2019-nCoV with them — ed.), It was discovered that someone got infected during the incubation period, ”said Michael Osterholm, Director of the Center for Research and Policy on Infectious Diseases at the University of Minnesota.

Summary: Possible origin: Interspecific distribution

26.01-28.01

With a high probability, the new virus is not so scary compared to SARS (due to greater mortality) and especially hCoV-EMC (due to cross-species reproduction of the virus).
I consider the latter to be the most dangerous, due to the unspecified type of receptors through which the virus is transmitted, which may be an omen of the emergence of a new cross-type virus,
transmitted from animals to humans, and humans to animals without restriction.

Summary: Hazard assessment: Interspecific distribution

26.01-28.01

The mortality rate of this 2019-nCoV is not so high, and only certain age groups have a high probability of dying.

16.02

However, there is a chance that even relatively young people will die, for example, the death of Li Wenliang.

Summary: Hazard Assessment: Health System Limits

26.01-28.01

However, the health care system has its limits. With a significant increase in the number of infected, there will be a large deterioration in the quality of treatment. And it is confirmed. International assistance is needed in this matter.
According to press reports, now in Wuhan, there are not enough doctors or tests for the virus. Patients spend hours in queues waiting for admission, and rapid tests are carried out only for those who have the most pronounced symptoms: temperature, cough, shortness of breath.

Summary:Risk assessment: The duration and the «tails»

26.01-28.01

Unfortunately, the average duration of the disease and its severity is quite high. So it is still not over soon.

Summary: Hazard Assessment: New Year Factor

26.01-28.01

It turns out that the factor of the new year can even help: the population has enough money in their hands to pay for food…
for several months without going to work.
Of course, some people have moved, but earlier.

Summary: Hazard Assessment: New Year Factor, 2 (Copy

26.01-28.01

In addition, about five million residents left Wuhan before the city was closed due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus, the South China Morning Post reports, which is quite possible given the time lag.
Thus, it was not possible to stop the spread of the virus using the usual virus response protocol. Only responding to more stringent protocols is unlikely due to unwillingness to spread panic, substitute power, be deceived if the result is not confirmed, etc.
The factor of the new year, in addition to increasing travel, also has a good side: Many people have enough money to live for several months.

Summary: The effect of the incubation period

26.01-28.01

Unfortunately, the virus has a large incubation period, which means that the current disease and mortality rates reflect only the number of diseases at the beginning. That is, we now observe only the first group of patients, which appeared at the beginning. Thus, it makes no sense to blame the authorities for the impossibility of stopping the disease. The influence of the current restrictions made by the government will be, for example, to reduce the growth of the exponential growth of the virus in a few weeks or at best to reduce the growth of the infected!
Therefore, the statement by epidemiologists that the results will be visible only after weeks or months is correct.

Outcomes: Impact of the incubation period: Assumption of going beyond the SARS level

26.01-28.01

In addition, the current number of people infected with the first stage may indicate a possible excess of 2003 indicators.
I hope that the curve of increasing the spread of the virus to the peak of the spread of the infection will be o (n) or no more than (n log n).

16.02

So it happened. The number of cases has long gone beyond SARS.

Summary: The effect of the window until the authorities reac

26.01-28.01TODO

The disease had a large gap, where there were no restrictions. Now we are witnessing a situation of an increase in the number of cases during that period.
We will see the impact of measures taken by the government later. The same is with preparation and the usual response to the disease. As a result, being late in any case will be sufficient for the spread of the disease.

26.01-28.01

Typical misconceptions regarding the virus:

26.01-28.01

Many fakes appear on social networks regarding the virus, supposedly the virus spreads only among the Chinese. However, the first cases of infection of foreigners have already occurred, the first cases of transfer from a foreigner to a foreigner have occurred.
There are also many fakes that are too dramatic. Pointing to hundreds of thousands of infected, or even dead. Despite the relatively long period between the reaction of the authorities, at current rates it is quite difficult to achieve such impressive results.

Some people do not believe in the reality and danger of the virus, compares it with the flu.
The virus is dangerous due to the complex parameters that make this coronavirus dangerous. Starting from possible high infectiousness and ending with severe symptoms.
Some people really more easily pass the symptoms, there may be certain individual characteristics. Some people may actually get slightly infected. Not everyone may have complications in the form of pneumonia. Statistics on the likelihood of illness and mortality hint at this. Some healthy people have a chance to get sick without complications, but it’s better not to risk it. Unfortunately, there are still many blank spots in the study of the virus. However, this does not mean that the virus is a fiction.

Summary: Consequences

26.01-28.01

Highest probability: Substantial material cost to the country. The probability is very high. Danger: Significant damage to the country.
High probability: A new economic crisis. Financial markets are already reacting.
If the interspecific transmission of the virus is confirmed (which I want to ask for verification), the consequences may be worse. Danger: Increase. The probability is average.
If the virus mutates, the consequences can be very different until the effects increase significantly.
If the virus spreads to nearby India, the situation can become very difficult. .Danger: High. Probability: Average, only more than 30 thousand Indian students in the country…
The worst result could be panic. If the authorities cannot control the situation, or scare the population too much. Danger: Colossal. Probability: Very low.
With such a probability, if the population of a billionth country tries to break through the borders, then there will be favorable conditions for the spread of the virus.

A huge chance to infect Indian citizens, which can create the most dangerous migration in the world and part of the population will be sick.
Results: Various negative consequences are possible, up to a very dangerous migration of the infected population, the government may not hold back such massive cases…
I note the chance of individual survival for the population who tried to escape falls even lower than to remain in the current situation.
Unfortunately, it turned out that even technically advanced and powerful countries find it difficult to cope with the consequences alone, so I wanted other countries and organizations to more actively help in this and other cases in order to reduce the likelihood of panic and the worst-case scenario.

Summary: Forecasts and Reality

11.02-13.01

Chinese coronavirus: Hong Kong health experts have called for the adoption of «draconian» measures in the city, since researchers estimate that in Wuhan for 44 000 cases.

In the end, we can say that the minimum prognosis is no longer realistic. (More than 75,000 patients. 35,000 were predicted)
If there were no new cases, my prediction of up to one hundred thousand people would be real.
Due to new cases in the world, it is now likely to infect at least 100,000 people and up to 29,000 thousand.

Summary:Nesseary actions

01/26/28.01

The good news: The WHO IHR Emergency Committee will resume work on a new coronavirus in China to decide if the epidemic is a global emergency.

WHO declared the outbreak of coronavirus a global health emergency. The decision overturned the organization’s decision to postpone the declaration just a week ago.

The declaration does not have the force of law, but is a landmark example for everyone. The declaration of emergencies also adds urgency to any WHO appeal for money.

01/30/20120

The rapid spread of coronavirus caused massive cases of anti-Chinese sentiment. In Japan, the hashtag # ChineseD'tComeToJapan is popular on Twitter.
“Some of the xenophobia is probably due to wider political and economic tensions and concerns about China,

that interact with more recent fears of infection, ”said Christie Gowella, associate professor of Asian Studies at the University of Hawaii, Manoa.

There is a lot of information about the growing domestic contradictions, which is very dangerous.
Now we need to deal with panic. The situation with the loss of control by the authorities is the worst that can be.

Officials say that central China is dangerously short of medicines, despite the fact that the equipment is delivered in bulk from around the world.

The situation is testing the health system for durability. The photographs posted on the Internet show that hospital workers, many of whom are still in protective gear,
exhausted, they fell to their tables and to the floor.

Two of the Japanese citizens who were evacuated from Wuhan refused to get tested for coronavirus, Japanese social media users said
that travelers arriving in Tokyo on Wednesday put the country at risk.

01/26/28.01

Need material support from countries. You need to check the virus as well as hCoV-EMC, an interspecific check of virus transmission, which can provide additional information.

However, this scenario can be avoided by creating worldwide support for those infected, for example, in social networks, including from the states.

In this case, it is quite possible to defeat this outbreak of coronavirus.

Despite these reports, there are several important signs, most likely not taken into account, that could shed light on the characteristics of the virus.

For example: research is needed on the probability of virus survival in an environment outside the body, as well as studies on interspecific transmission of the virus as was done with hCoV-EMC.For example, research is needed on the probability of virus survival in an environment outside the body, as well as studies on the interspecific transmission of the virus as was done with hCoV-EMC.

Analysis of Probable Influences: The Beginning

Initial phase: Response: Medics reaction

In January 2020, a consortium of Chinese medical specialists was tasked with investigating the occurrence of the so-called Wuhan coronavirus or Wuhan pneumonia.
On January 24, 2020, the report was published in The Lancet. The investigation was marked off. The first patient, who was subsequently diagnosed with coronavirus, developed symptoms on December 12, 2019.
A previous case of a patient was discovered who had symptoms since December 1, 2019, indicating an even earlier origin of coronavirus.

Analysis of Probable Influencing Factors: Initial Phase

Initial phase: Response: Medics reaction, 2

The number was already infected on the 30th. Dr. Wenliang, an ophthalmologist from Wuhan, tried to warn Wechat in his account.
One day before the official reaction, a group of doctors could warn of an outbreak. Thus the influence of «whistleblowers».
At the same time, authorities did not allow widespread dissemination of information in China until January 3 1
Then, Li Wenlyan’s information said that a group of seven patients was unsuccessfully treated for symptoms of pneumonia, the virus did not respond to traditional treatment.
Later that day, the medical department of the Wuhan Municipal Health Committee issued an «emergency statement for the treatment of pneumonia of unknown origin»

Initial phase: Response: Reaction of authorities and organizations

December 31, such a report was created, then it was supplemented: 1
December 31, 2019, Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, Hubei Province, China, reported
a group of cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology, with a commonly reported link to the Wuhan seafood market.
In some cases, visits to another food market were reported, while others did not report any relationship with the markets,
but have been in contact with people with respiratory symptoms.
On December 31, 27 cases were reported, thus. Most likely, the basis for distribution was already formed then. Thus, we practically missed the initial stage of infection.
I did not find information in public sources.
On December 31, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan immediately stepped up arrival control processes.
1st numbers the fish market has already closed.

Initial phase: Response: Media respons

The first chronology was created on the Worcestershake of Vorutgale already on the 31st! <a href=«pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cronologia_do_surto_do_novo_coronavírus_2019-nCoV> 1
Many thanks to them, thanks to them I got more information for analysis.

Summary: Key factors

21.02

First primary factor: Severity

The first major factor can be considered the severity of the disease. On the one hand, an ideal virus should cause greater severity, but over time, allowing the virus to spread while patients are still alive and can move around.

Thus, severity affects patient mobility. It will be difficult for a patient in serious condition to infect many. The most negative scenario for the virus. The severity is too high, all patients died without being able to infect anyone.

More positive for the virus is low severity but high infectivity. However, in this case, he should not threaten peace.

Thus, an “ideal virus” needs to be “delayed increase in severity”. In this case, you can infect a lot of people (Mobility will be sufficient), and then they will die.
So our coronavirus is really „very advanced“ in this direction. Very close to the perfect virus. If the severity was a little higher and modern means did not allow saving people, we could talk about incredible danger.

The average number of infected from 1 patient (R0) from 1.2 to 3.0. This can be compared with figures in the initial periods of SARS, H1N1 infections. Usually, R0 decreases with time. It is also affected by the survival of more aggressive forms of the virus and disease control measures. Some viruses can degenerate into less dangerous, but less dangerous can occur regularly.

The same SARS and MERS had higher mortality and did not have the expressed benefits of delayed symptoms. Epidemics quickly came to naught, despite a lower level of technology then.

Second primary factor: Infectiousness (Contagiousness)

21.02

The second main factor is infectiousness (This is a complex parameter): How many people can infect a person, what radius of the patient’s path is dangerous, what number of infection routes. how the protection methods influence infectiousness… Here the ratio is direct. The more infectious the worse for us.

Restrictions on the possibility of infection and the “target group” reduce the chances of the virus. The same SARS and MERS required long-term close contact and genetically determined susceptibility to the pathogen.
However, MERS seemed to circumvent these features and really could be transmitted without ACE2, fortunately lucky. However, MERS oddly enough has an attachment to the place.
Outbreaks are still ongoing (in 2019, 152 cases, 51 people died). Recently, Saudi Arabia seems to have reported a small outbreak, just before 2019nCOV.

In addition, the main focus of the disease has almost exhausted itself. The main factors are likely to be other foci. If there is a new “wide corridor” for distribution, the situation may continue.
In other cases, the epidemic will decline. Thus, other countries are in the focus of attention now.

The increase in the number of diseases in China continued and almost returned to normal +835 infected in China, having read + ~ 500 on the last day.
Disease growth in other countries has begun to affect overall statistics. Already registered 1076 cases of infection.
Given this, the situation will not be changed for a few more weeks.
New disease rates can jump every day, depending on the situation.

So there are 3-4 countries at risk. If everything goes well with them, the epidemic will be over.
The first country is Singapore (A man went to hospitals for a week until he was hospitalized), South Korea (A man went to church, infected parishioners), Japan (They say that quarantine is of insufficient quality), and also Thailand.
If the virus finds sufficient pathways to spread and there will be a fairly vulnerable population (or other criteria, see paragraph: criteria), you can expect a change in the situation.

Third main factor: Delayed action

The third major factor is the effect of the delayed effects of treatment and infection. Here the virus also has advantages. It’s hard to predict such hidden indicators.

Fourth main factor: mutability

The fourth major factor is mutability. Coronaviruses are more prone to this than part of other viruses. We will see.

Fifth major factor: incubation period

The fifth major factor is contagiousness during the incubation period and incomplete manifestation of symptoms, or partial manifestation.

Sixth main factor: Technical level of treatment

21.02

Sixth main factor: Technical level of treatment. We were lucky. If we encountered such a coronavirus in the 1920s, the situation would probably be repeated.
Due to the large number of factors, we cannot get a “clean script”. Many considered this the case on the ship, but this is not so. There the virus had its own characteristics.
They talk about ventilation and a large number of people from vulnerable groups. Thus, this option will not work either.

So it’s only partially possible to try to take a case on a ship as an example. An “ideal” test can only be testing under practically ideal conditions without modern treatment, which is absurd, of course.
We will save people and not try to find out the real mortality and spread of the virus.
Probably in a “perfect test” one could get the result and maybe it would be comparable to Spain.

But don’t worry, while the health care system is working and there are advanced treatments, this should not be repeated.
I hope you now understand how important the healthcare system and research are. Perhaps we have already partially crossed the limit of critical vulnerability to diseases of the level of Spain.
So I hope that in a country with poor quality of health care a similar case does not happen. In other cases, everything should be fine.

Seventh Core Factor: Distribution Capability Level

21.02

Seventh main factor: Level of distribution: This is affected by the means of movement, the number of people, the number of mass events, etc.
One of the most important elements can be typical places with vulnerable groups of the population.
One such place is the hospital and church markets. All places have almost been featured in statistics. For example, 155 people are already sick in Korea. Many patients were parishioners.

in hospitals, firstly, a sufficient number with chronic diseases, including a large number of other vulnerable groups. In churches, there is also a high probability of finding representatives of vulnerable groups.
Markets are a more traditional form of purchase for some population groups, unlike online orders and supermarkets.

In addition, a market like Wuhan served Yeshe and medical destinations. Many items in these markets are for traditional treatment.
Part of the population of China, the new middle class is already eating in restaurants, cafes, etc.
Thus, the market in Wuhan was a very favorable place as a base point for the spread of the virus: A large number of vulnerable populations, including treated with folk remedies.
About a large number of animals in such a market and conditions already mentioned above. Particular care must be taken to protect or suspend some of the vulnerabilities.

Postscript: I only state the facts and condemn any attempts at xenophobia for various reasons. As the head of WHO said: “This is a time for facts, not for fear. This is a time for science, not rumors. This is a time of solidarity, not a witch hunt ...”

The influence of various factors on the statistics.
Isolated cases in the context of general statistics.

Decoding infographic:
If you want to count cases, you need to understand that we are trying to translate three-dimensional multi-threaded cases into statistics.
At the bottom are individual people and their movement graphs. This can be depicted as a tree from 1 person to another. Round indicators: these are the cases that fell into the border of an airborne or other effect. Depending on the form of severity (Until a person usually begins to feel bad), he will move, especially in the initial periods when there is no quarantine.

The different lengths of such contacts (length of the incubation period) and the length of the recovery period also affect the statistics.
Further, cases usually spread in certain places: For example, a ship (highlighted in squares). Each such place has its own characteristics. Part of places with a large concentration of vulnerable populations can lead to a difficult situation. Then territorially go disease zones all the way to countries.

Thus, I have already said that the market was almost an ideal place to start the coronavirus.

As a result, these small cases with each individual infected can greatly affect the statistics. A huge number of factors at the lower and higher levels affect the statistics. The main factors (More than a hundred) and the degree of their influence I have already written in the table above.

Summary: The Need for Global Valuation Systems

21.02

Thus, there are a huge number of factors that have their own characteristics. All this needs to be known in order to predict the spread of the virus. Otherwise, it is a fortune-telling on coffee grounds.
It is very important to create global forecasting systems trusted by many who really collected the big picture from incomplete and partially conflicting information.

19.02

As a result, we have a huge number of factors that need to be considered when calculating indicators. Data on several factors is almost impossible to get.
As a result, I am always skeptical about the calculation

Aggressive measures in China have slowed down the coronavirus. Can you learn from it? Indication of online health status, the role of technology. 2 varieties of Covid.

Kai Kupfferschmidt, John Cohen March 2, 2020, 16:50 DOI: 10.1126 / science.abb5426

In Chinese hospitals crowded with patients with COVID-19 a few weeks ago, it is now empty. There are even difficulties with certain tests, including tests of experimental drugs
The number of new cases reported every day has plummeted over the past few weeks.

These are some of the startling observations published on February 28 in a mission report organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Chinese government that allowed 13 foreigners to join 12 Chinese scientists on a trip to five Chinese cities to study the state of the COVID-19 epidemic and the effectiveness of the response countries. The results surprised several of the visiting scientists. “I thought these numbers could never be real,” said epidemiologist Tim Ekmans of the Robert Koch Institute, who participated in the mission.

But the report is straightforward. “China’s bold approach to curbing the rapid spread of this new respiratory pathogen has changed the course of a rapidly growing and deadly epidemic,” it says. "This reduction in the incidence of COVID-19 in China is real."

The question now is whether the world can learn from China's apparent success and whether the massive blockages and electronic surveillance measures introduced by the authoritarian government in other countries will work. “When you spend 20-30 years in this area, it sounds like this:“ Seriously, are you going to try to change that with this tactic? "Says Bruce Aylward, a Canadian epidemiologist who led an international group and informed reporters about its results in Beijing and Geneva last week. “Hundreds of thousands of people in China have not received COVID-19 because of this aggressive response.”

“This report poses complex questions for all countries that are currently considering their answers to COVID-19,” said Stephen Riley, an epidemiologist at Imperial College London. “The joint mission was very productive and provided unique information on China's efforts to prevent the spread of the virus in mainland China and around the world,” adds Lawrence Gostin, a health lawyer at Georgetown University. But Gostin warns against using the model elsewhere. “I think that countries have very good reasons to hesitate by applying such extreme measures.”

There is also uncertainty about what the virus, called SARS-CoV-2, will do in China after the country inevitably lifts some of its most stringent controls and restarts its economy. Cases of COVID-19 may increase again.

The report was written at a critical moment when many epidemiologists are thinking about the beginning of a global pandemic. Just last week, the number of affected countries increased from 29 to 61. Several countries found that they already had the virus spread in the community - unlike only among travelers from affected areas or people who were in direct contact with them. - and the number of reported cases is growing exponentially.

In China, the opposite has happened. On February 10, when the advance team of the WHO-China Joint Mission began work, China reported 2,478 new cases. Two weeks later, when foreign experts packed their bags, this number dropped to 409 cases. (Yesterday, China reported only 206 new cases, and in the rest of the world their number increased almost nine-fold.) According to the report, the epidemic in China peaked at the end of January.

Ambitious, agile and aggressive
The team began operations in Beijing, and then split into two groups, which were said to be in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu and the most affected city of Wuhan. They visited hospitals, laboratories, companies, wet markets selling live animals, train stations and local government offices. “Wherever you go, whoever you talk to, you have a sense of responsibility and collective action, and there is warfare to get things done,” says Aylward.

The group also reviewed a dataset compiled by Chinese scientists. (The country still accounts for more than 90% of the total number of confirmed 90,000 cases.) They found that about 80% of infected people had mild or moderate illness, 13.8% had severe symptoms and 6.1% had episodes that threatened of life. respiratory failure, septic shock, or organ failure. The highest mortality rates are among people over 80 (21.9%) and people with heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension. Fever and dry cough were the most common symptoms. Surprisingly, only 4.8% of infected people had a runny nose. Children accounted for only 2.4% of cases, and almost no one was seriously ill. In mild and moderate cases, recovery took an average of 2 weeks.

Critically unknown is the incidence of a mild or asymptomatic disease. If a large number of infections are unaccounted for, this makes it difficult to isolate infectious people and slow down the spread of the virus. But on the other hand, if the virus causes few symptoms in many infected people, if any, the current estimated mortality rate is too high. (The report says that the indicator varies greatly: from 5.8% in Wuhan, whose health care system was overloaded, to 0.7% in other regions.)

To answer this question, the report notes that the so-called fever clinics in Guangdong examined approximately 320,000 people for COVID-19 and found that only 0.14% of them were positive. “It was really interesting because we hoped and might have expected to see a large number of mild and asymptomatic cases,” said Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Health Safety Center. “These data indicate that this is not happening, which implies that the risk of death can be more or less the same as we currently have.” But Guangdong was not a heavily affected area, so it is unclear whether the same seizure is taking place in Hubei, which has suffered the most, Rivers warns.

Much of the report is about understanding how China has achieved what many public health experts considered impossible: containing the spread of the widespread respiratory virus. “China has launched perhaps the most ambitious, agile and aggressive effort to contain disease in history,” the report said.

The most dramatic and controversial measure was blocking the city of Wuhan and nearby cities in Hubei Province, since January 23 at least 50 million people have been subjected to compulsory quarantine. This “effectively prevented the further export of infected people to the rest of the country,” the report concludes. In other regions of mainland China, people are voluntarily isolated and controlled by designated leaders in the districts.

Chinese authorities also built two specialized hospitals in Wuhan in just 1 week. Health workers from all over China were sent to the outbreak site. The government made an unprecedented attempt to trace the contacts of confirmed cases. In Wuhan alone, more than 1800 teams of five or more people tracked tens of thousands of contacts.

Aggressive “social distancing” measures across the country included the abolition of sporting events and the closure of theaters. Schools extended the breaks that began in mid-January on Lunar New Year. Many enterprises have closed stores. Anyone who went outside had to wear a mask.

Two widely used mobile phone apps, AliPay and WeChat, which have replaced cash in China in recent years, have helped enforce restrictions because they allow the government to track people’s movements and even prevent people with confirmed infections from traveling. “Each person has a kind of traffic light system (note why the traffic light is lower),” says Mission Member Gabriel Lun, Dean of the School of Medicine Lee Ka Shing at the University of Hong Kong. Color codes on mobile phones in which green, yellow or red indicate the state of human health (approx. Part of the data due to their personal indication by the person or in the context of messages, etc.), allow security guards at stations and other checkpoints to know who to miss.

“As a result of all these measures, social life is greatly reduced,” the report says. But the measures worked. After all, infected people are less likely to spread the virus to anyone other than members of the household, says Lung. As soon as all the people in the apartment or house were infected, the virus has nowhere else to look for the distribution channel, and the transmission chain stopped. “That's how the epidemic really got under control,” says Lun. In general, according to him, there was a combination of “the good old social distance and quarantine, which was very efficiently implemented due to the fact that there is a mechanism at the local level at the level of neighbors, which is facilitated by big data from AI [neural networks].”

Deep commitment to collective action
How real is the impact of these tough measures in other countries is controversial. “China is unique in that it has a political system that can achieve public compliance with extreme measures,” Gostin says. “But his use of social control and intrusive surveillance is not a good model for other countries.” The country also has the exceptional ability to quickly complete time-consuming and large-scale projects, says Jeremy Konyndyk, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development: "No one in the world can do what China has just done."

They shouldn't, said lawyer Alexandra Phelan, a China specialist at the Georgetown Center for Global Health and Safety Sciences. “Is this not the only measure of whether something is a good way to control public health,” says Phelan. “There are many things that will help stop the outbreak, which we consider abhorrent in a fair and free society.”

The report mentions some areas in which China needs to be improved, including the need to “more clearly convey key data and events internationally.” But this is mom on the coercive nature of his control measures and the loss that they exacted. “The only thing that is completely disguised is the whole aspect of human rights,” said Devi Sridhar, a global public health expert at Edinburgh University. Instead, the report notes "the deep commitment of the Chinese people to collective action in the face of this common threat."

“To me, as a person who spent a lot of time in China, it seems incredibly naive - and if not naive, then deliberately blind to some of the approaches used,” says Phelan. Singapore and Hong Kong may be the best role models, says Konyndyk: “There was the same level of rigor and discipline, but it was applied in a much less draconian way.”

The report does not mention other flaws in the Chinese strategy, said Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, who wonders what effect she had on, say, cancer treatment or HIV patients. “I think that when evaluating the impact of these approaches, it’s important to consider secondary, tertiary consequences,” says Nuzzo.

And even China's tremendous efforts, perhaps, can only temporarily slow down the epidemic. “There is no doubt that they suppressed the outbreak,” said Mike Osterholm, head of the Center for Research and Policy on Infectious Diseases at the University of Minnesota, Twin City. “It is like suppressing a forest fire, but not putting it out. Howling right now. But it can also teach the world new lessons, says Riley. “Now we have the opportunity to see how China will cope with the possible revival of COVID-19,” he says.

Ailward stresses that China’s success today should inspire confidence in other countries that it can affect the extent to which COVID-19 is distributed. “We get new messages every day about new outbreaks in new areas, and people feel like,“ Oh, we can’t do anything, ”and people argue whether this is a pandemic or not,” says Aylward. “That's a pity. There are really practical things you can do to be prepared to respond to this, and that is where you need to focus.”

Note: I do not support social ratings, but it’s clear that the idea of marking the state of health through social networks and gadgets is very robust.

Addition 1:
China introduced an application that allows residents to assess the risk of coronavirus infection. The application determines whether the user has been near the person who has been diagnosed with coronavirus for the last two weeks and whether he has symptoms of the disease. You can download the application, a QR code, then the user must register using a mobile number and pass verification, indicating full name and ID number. A maximum of three people can register for one phone number in the application - they must also indicate their names and data documents.

"In China and other Asian countries, data obtained using face recognition technology is not considered something that should be kept secret. It is something that can be used. Of course, provided that it is done in a transparent way, and for their use , where necessary, consent has been obtained, "says Caroline Bigg, a lawyer from the Hong Kong office of DLA Piper International Law Firm.

Addition 2:

Researchers in China say preliminary studies show that COVID-19 mutates, and now there are at least two types of virus.

One of them, a more aggressive strain, infected 70% of respondents, a less aggressive strain was associated with the rest, according to doctors from the School of Life Sciences at Peking University and the Shanghai Pasteur Institute.

Scientists have dubbed the aggressive type L strain and the less common type S strain. The L-type strain was more common in Wuhan, where the outbreak began, but researchers note that the frequency of infection has decreased. They also cautioned that the data that they had available for the study was “very limited,” and much more research was needed to understand the evolution of COVID-19.

“While the L type was more common in the early stages of the Wuhan outbreak, the L type decreased after the beginning of January 2020,” they wrote. “Human intervention could have exerted stronger selective pressure on type L, which can be more aggressive and spread faster.”

Researchers say that different strains were probably caused by a mutation in the hereditary version of the virus. And that may mean that more is coming. They called on the scientific community to come together to fight and contain the outbreak.

“These data convincingly confirm the urgent need for further immediate comprehensive research that combines genomic data, epidemiological data, and cartographic records of clinical symptoms of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),” they wrote.

Note I am certainly surprised by the result. Apparently the incubation period was enough for an aggressive strain. Thus, the degradation of the virus did not occur.

The results.
Thus, we can ascertain the likely effect of measures and technologies on the spread of coronavirus. I note: cases of infection have already been brought to China. Some of the Chinese came from Germany and Iran. So, as I said in the main article and in the commentary, the coronavirus is with us for a long time.

Some thicken again:
“From 60 to 70 percent of the German population will be infected with coronavirus,” said Dr. Christian Drosten, a virologist professor at Charite Hospital in Berlin.
Note I assure you, infecting so many people is almost impossible with quarantine.
In the end, given the characteristics of the virus, it is already possible to ascertain the ability to quench the epidemic.
Most of the more aggressive stamina does not significantly increase the spread of the virus, people get symptoms faster than with a less aggressive variant.
Thus, the virus is easier to drown, but for each individual person the prevalence of aggressive stamina is worse.

Thus, even this indicates a much smaller number than with extrapolation. So these are the next scary forecasts. Actual numbers will be less by orders of magnitude, and will depend on specific decisions, actions of the population and much more. I do not understand why doctors scare the population. Yes, most likely it will go to hundreds of thousands in the world. Only if specifically not lucky are millions possible. It can already be stated: With quarantine in mass places, the coronavirus spreads slowly enough so that millions get sick. Yes, there is a long incubation period ... Everything will last a long or very long time. But significant jumps will only occur when large mass events are infected, cases in closed rooms, masturb panic and mass displacement of the population to large groups, etc. In other cases, like showing the experience of China, things are not so bad.
So don't go crazy over the news for now. Just get ready for a long time.

Cases of infection were recorded in almost all provinces of Iran, the office of the Iranian president said on Wednesday, March 4. There is no official confirmation of this information.
In the UK, the number of COVID-19 infections reached 85

The Grand Princess airliner was quarantined off the coast of California after a 71-year-old man who had gone ashore died of COVID-19. There were 3,000 people on board.

7 countries added to the quarantine list of China (Reuters). Singapore, Germany, France, Spain, Austria and Switzerland…

Ukraine:
In Chernivtsi, another 3 people (according to other sources 6) were suspected of entering the infectious department of the regional clinical hospital.
This is much less than for example in Poland.
According to ACC, patients felt unwell and turned to their family doctors
Note: A big problem may be the return of people from Poland and other countries to Ukraine.

A suspect coronavirus was hospitalized yesterday, March 3, in a student who came from Chernivtsi.

A passenger in a gas mask GP5 drove in the Kiev metro. A young man came in at Khreshchatyk station. In a gas mask, the young man felt free, tight protection on his face did not interfere with studying the contents of the smartphone.

“It is important to emphasize that, most likely, we will witness more cases of the disease in Ukraine. However, the essence lies in the readiness of Ukraine’s healthcare to counteract the outbreaks of this disease, ”said WHO spokesman Jarno Habicht Habicht at a briefing.
Note: I think it's too early to talk about this. If an infected person was driving a car and did everything necessary, specifically the first case, the risks are minimal.
There was information that the patient received a booklet with instructions at the Bulgarian airport and followed the instructions.

«If even one case of transmission within a country is recorded — a case that will not be related to traveling from a country where a case of coronavirus infection is recorded, we will immediately recommend that local authorities in the territory where this case will be recorded introduce restrictive anti-epidemic measures,» — declared Victor Lyashko.
It is impossible to isolate all those who contacted patients in medical facilities, and this is not necessary, said Deputy Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko.

Belarus:
Four cases of coronavirus recorded in Minsk are an Iranian student and three members of the family with whom he was in contact.
Almost 85% of BNTU students who had contact with an Iranian student and who are now being monitored in a hospital in Borovlyany have already been examined.

Naviny.by went around five pharmacies in the Academy of Sciences area. None of them had medical masks.

The pharmacy in the building of the Press House said that now the demand for masks is very large. “If there are a couple of pharmacies in the city, then masks are sold out there instantly. This has long been such a situation. Three weeks, ”the pharmacist said. According to her, manufacturers can not cope with demand.
Currently, 271 people are under quarantine surveillance.

A hotline on issues of coronavirus infection +375173343468 is also open for residents of Minsk.

Everyone who is in contact centers (places for quarantine) will be given a document of inoperability: students — certificates, and workers — sick leave.

And if I refuse hospitalization or placement in a contact center?
Answering the question whether quarantine can be abandoned if doctors suggest, the head of the main department of the organization of medical care and examination of the Ministry of Health Elena Bogdan said that «at the moment there were no cases of refusal to hospitalization.»
“We lucidly explain to people why (this must be done. — Naviny.by). There are people who themselves ask for these centers (contact centers — Naviny.by) when they come from abroad, and at home they have a small child or a pregnant wife. Observed, received negative smears and released home after 14 days. There were no situations to persuade. Everyone understands everything, ”said Elena Bogdan.

Poland:
“Today we received the results of the analyzes of the first patient who has confirmed coronavirus infection in Poland… He feels well,” said Minister of Health Lukasz умumowski at a press conference on Wednesday, March 4,

The patient returned to Poland from Germany and, with suspected coronavirus, ended up at the University Hospital in Krakow. The test results will be known on Monday or Tuesday. This is reported by the «European truth» with reference to RMF24.

Lukash Shumovsky added that everyone with whom the patient had contact was sent to quarantine. According to him, more than 500 people are currently in quarantine due to possible infection in the whole of Poland.

More recently, there were great doubts about the case, for example:
We now have a panic epidemic, not a coronavirus epidemic. The State Hygiene Administration has done over 400 tests. None of them pointed to coronavirus, ”said Wojciech Andrusiewicz, spokesman for the Polish Ministry of Health, on TVN.
However, today everything has become clear.

Moreover, the case is much more dangerous than in Ukraine. There are fewer contactees.

The advent of coronavirus in Europe coincided with the start of the presidential election campaign. Opposition and opponents of Andrzej Duda do not miss the opportunity to point out the flaws and cast doubt on government actions.

The Polish government has taken the issue of combating the spread of the disease seriously: messages from the Sanepid have been sent to mobile phones, a 24-hour information line has been launched, travelers from Italy are monitored for temperatures, and there is a ban on visits to Polish hospitals.

According to RMF FM, the Sejm is considering a draft law. If accepted, Polish firms will be able to officially leave their employees to work at home, parents will receive compensation when quarantines and schools are closed. The document also provides for additional financing for health care.

It is worth noting that there were no protective masks and respirators in Polish pharmacies last week. They have become the most popular product. According to the Ceneo online service, between February 23 and 28, demand for masks exceeded annual rates.

Every day, more than 50 thousand people look for masks from us. For comparison, the demand for anti-mask masks during exacerbation was ten times less. This trend is observed in all voivodships, the prices of some masks have increased tenfold, and on average there has been a rise in price by 100%, says Tomas Jankowski from the Ceneo portal.

People have already started buying long-term foodstuffs. “Generally in Lodz, people stock up on food. In my area in the evening in shops, for example, in Lidl, all the shelves are empty with cereals, rice, canned goods. And how are you? Or is it just my panic? ” — quoted by a resident of Lodz portal Natemat.

Russia:
Russian brought coronavirus to Azerbaijan

A Russian who arrived in Azerbaijan from Iran was diagnosed with a coronavirus.

Previously missed: Russian President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

Germany:
Germany faced the threat of stagnation. GDP growth in Europe’s main economy in January-March 2020 may slow down to 0.1 percent, Reuters writes with reference to the German Institute for Economic Research DIW.
The second problem for the German economy is the disruption of the supply chain of components from China.

Earlier, Oxford Economics analysts estimated the loss of the world economy from coronavirus at $ 1.1 trillion in 2020. Damage will reach this level if the epidemic becomes a full-fledged pandemic.

Masks are startup goods. In Russia and Germany, as well as in other countries, banned the export of masks.
All protective masks, in warehouses and in production, will be distributed in France to medical personnel and patients with COVID-19, said French President Emmanuel Macron.

Christian Zolmeke: In Germany, everything is fine (legally. — Ed.) Adjusted. There is a federal law on protection against infectious diseases, and it determines when it is necessary to quarantine people. Even against their will. This happens when there is a general threat. p.dw.com/p/3Yc98

The effectiveness of such drugs has already been proven in the treatment of acute respiratory viral diseases, the statement says.
In particular, similar studies were previously announced by the American companies Gilead Sciences and Pfizer.

“There is no evidence that the virus can be transmitted through mosquitoes. Coronavirus COVID-19 is distributed mainly when an infected person coughs or sneezes. There have also been cases of spread of infection through saliva, nasal discharge, ”the WHO statement for AsiaOne said.

WHO calls for a 40% increase in the production of personal protective equipment to meet demand.
About 89 million masks, 76 million gloves for inspection and 1.6 million pairs of goggles are required every month.
“Doctors, nurses and other front-line workers are at risk of infection from patients due to a lack of personal protective equipment,” a WHO press release said, kommersant reports.

WHO no longer forbids wearing masks because it is unlikely to stop the demand for protective equipment in this way. Previously, the organization stated that medical masks should only be worn by patients with coronavirus and doctors.

If you have symptoms of SARS:
Call a doctor at home or go to the clinic.
Be sure to inform the doctor about the trip «to a country with an unfavorable epidemiological situation or about contacts with people who arrived from there» or about the likely contact with the infected person or symptoms.
If you can specify information about possible persons in contact with you.
A doctor in the clinic will examine you. If the symptoms of a cold are confirmed, he will take a coronavirus test — this is a smear from the nose and throat, which is taken with a cotton swab.
In addition, he can send you immediately to hospitalization in an infectious diseases hospital. After hospitalization, a test will also be taken at the hospital.
From the polyclinic or hospital, biomaterial will be sent to the nearest medical center of Rospotrebnadzor. Such centers and materials for analysis are in every Russian region.
The analysis result will be ready in 2-4 hours.
If the analysis does not show coronavirus infection, the patient will be transferred from the infectious diseases hospital to the general one.

If you came from a country with an unfavorable epidemiological situation or there were possible contacts with people who arrived from there «or about probable contact with the infected person or symptoms.
It is recommended to self-fade for a while.
Record all possible contacts.
Try to be farther than 2 meters from people and use a gauze bandage.

If you do not have a fever or cough, but you are afraid that you might be infected, then it will be much more difficult to pass the test, even if you are willing to pay for it.

It makes sense to take a test for coronavirus if you returned from a country „that is burning“, and not just contacted with foreigners. Returnees from China and other countries are tested 3, 7, and 10 days after their return, she added.

In England, the system is not much better built:
»We have private insurance, I want to check it. But I can’t come anywhere personally and say: oh, check me for coronavirus. Answering machines are everywhere: if you have a cough and a temperature and you returned from the area where there are confirmed cases, don’t come to us by any means. By number 111 [NHS hotline] they told me not to leave our house, we’ll call you back soon. For about 40 minutes they kept me on the phone yesterday, gasped and groaned, but they are in no hurry to save.

Beijing, March 4 / Xinhua / — The State Committee on Health Affairs of the PRC on Wednesday published the latest version of the plan for the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.
A plan that includes the results of autopsy of patients who died from COVID-19, as well as monitoring the pathological process using a puncture biopsy method.
The results showed different degrees of pulmonary mutations caused by the disease, while the size of the spleen in patients was significantly reduced, and myocardial cells also suffered degeneration and necrosis.

The above plan has already been updated six times.

A boomerang happened in China: The fall of world financial markets is just around the corner.
Chinese authorities have confirmed 13 cases of importation of coronavirus infection from Italy and Iran. In China itself, a decrease in the number of cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection has been recorded.
Among them are eight Chinese people who worked in the same restaurant in the Italian region of Lombardy. They returned to China from Italy last week.

In this way, China will not be able to tear the situation. As I predicted such a «boomerang» will hit China's ambitions to restore the economy.
Repeated outbreaks in China are possible.

A sudden drop in the US base rate is an important signal. Now the central banks and governments of the world will go into crisis mode, said Andrei Gurkov.
This was the last time 12 years ago, at the time of the growing financial crisis of 2008. Thirdly, because the Fed did not change the rate by the standard 0.25 percentage points, but immediately preferred the “double dose”.

From the point of view of the European Union, the signal is alarming that the European Central Bank, unlike the Fed, has fewer opportunities to stimulate markets:
in the US, the base rate before the decline was in the corridor of 1.50-1.75%, then in the eurozone it is already 0.0%. Another question is whether the American policy of cheap money will be effective, because it has a number of negative side effects.

With the news again bust. This is only part of the news.

The WHO named the updated data on mortality from the new coronavirus. It is 3.4%. Moreover, mortality from seasonal flu usually does not exceed 1%.

The spread of the coronavirus COVID-19 can be restrained. We are located in uncharted territory — we have never seen a respiratory pathogen that can be transmitted in society, but at the same time can be restrained by the right measures. If it were a flu epidemic, we would already see widespread spread around the world. And efforts to slow down or deter it would not be feasible, «he said.

Ukraine:
In Chernivtsi, in connection with the first case, transport and school premises are disinfected; no quarantine has yet been announced
»A clear instruction is to strengthen measures to disinfect the premises. Tomorrow they will conduct a lesson in schools where they will tell you what coronavirus is and how to act. Parents will be warned that children with minimal signs of SARS should not be allowed to go to school and kindergarten. I also urge residents not to come to work in case of symptoms of SARS. Ill — stay at home, «said the mayor of Chernivtsi, Alexei Kaspruk.

The infected man behaved exemplary: he was self-insulated, reported signs of SARS to doctors and told them that he was in Italy and also drove in a car, which is also a good factor. His wife was self-isolated, it would be better if she was isolated.

The man and his wife traveled around Italy, returned to Chernivtsi by car, first flew to the Romanian airport. When crossing the border, the temperature of the spouses was normal. Having received a memo on self-isolation, the man organized a voluntary quarantine for himself and his wife.
The head of the Ministry of Health, Zoryana Skaletskaya, assures that the medical system “worked clearly” and that the situation is under control. The wife of a Ukrainian, who was found to have COVID-19, is hospitalized for observation

In the worst case, enough for a few months…

In Chernivtsi, class teachers in schools were required to prevent children with a fever and flu symptoms from taking classes.

Some joke that now in stores people will panicky start buying buckwheat and matches.
In Russia, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, proposed the death penalty by shooting those who disseminate information about the coronavirus epidemic among Russians.

As the Apostrophe reported, a video was posted earlier on the network with a Russian who is supposed to have brought the coronavirus to Moscow. He tried to explain why he insulted Chinese tourists with obscene language because of fear of catching the disease.

Arriving in Moscow with symptoms of acute respiratory viral infections will be sent to a hospital in Kommunarka, which the authorities specially allocated for coronavirus-infected people, converters and also for people with suspicion.

Rospotrebnadzor instructed to check patients with pneumonia for coronavirus. Doctors will give priority to assisting febrile patients with respiratory symptoms, as well as people over 60 years of age.

Russian automakers may face problems with the spread of coronavirus. This was reported on February 5 by Kommersant. Problems in the automotive industry are related to the fact that part of the components for production comes from China.

As the head of the Moscow Ambulance Station, Nikolai Plavunov, said, normative documents regulating the actions of ambulance teams when identifying persons with signs of acute respiratory viral infection in the presence of an epidemiological history were published and worked out with employees. This group includes citizens who came from countries with adverse conditions, or those who had contact with the sick.

“Appropriate measures have been taken. I hope that they will be effective, ”said Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A hotline was created in Russia: — 8-800-707-88-41 (Rostrud). You can also ask questions to a specialist of the labor inspection hotline in your region or on the Online Inspection.rf portal.

Belarus:
— We were immediately surprised and upset by the reaction of our population to the events that are being taken. Disease implies the presence of clinical symptoms. Now the hospitalized patient is not worried. No treatment is required because it has no clinical symptoms. This is not the first viral infection that comes into the country, ”said Minister of Health Vladimir Karanik, writes kp.by.

— Today bought 70 thousand masks. We already have a delivery schedule — we expect 1 million 160 thousand masks on Monday, the car is in loading. When they say that there are no masks in the pharmacy, you need to understand that there are state pharmacies, there are commercial ones.

In Vitebsk, 2 classes of secondary school No.? 44 and the college team were temporarily transferred to distance learning, spokeswoman for the Ministry of Health Julia Borodun told reporters.

Now 4 cases of infection have been confirmed in Belarus. 2 more tests, patients belonging to the contact of the 1st level, previously demonstrate positive results, an accurate laboratory diagnosis is carried out in accordance with the examination protocols recommended by WHO.

Those people who will have symptoms of the disease will be able to be examined in the sixth hospital in Minsk, and regional infection centers will be involved in the regions. Similar measures will be taken if the number of potential carriers of the virus increases. Now in Belarus, under the supervision of physicians, there are 271 people. And it’s important — this is not about the infected, but about those who themselves took the initiative to undergo a physical examination.

A hotline for coronavirus infection has been opened for Minsk residents. You can contact specialists daily on weekdays. Phone: +375 (17) 334-34-68.

Republican Center for Hygiene of Epidemiology and Public Health +375 29 156? 85? 65, calls are received on weekdays from 8.30 to 13.00 and from 13.30 to 18.00.

Nobody was dying of coronavirus in Belarus — the Ministry of Health denied the information that appeared on Russian television

In Spain, the first death recorded — in Valencia.

The chief sanitary officer of Ukraine Viktor Lyashko said that the decline in the incidence of coronavirus is expected from April to October, when the epidemiological season begins. This is possible if the same circulation of coronavirus that is observed today continues.

In the UK, I predict the consequences no worse than that of the Spanish woman (Note: Why frighten the population?)
»1. 80% of the population is ill, that is, more than 50 million.
2. Of these, 1% will die, that is, 500 thousand (if you can rely on Chinese mortality statistics).
3. The government will make efforts to postpone the outbreak for a couple of months, in May-June, when the NHS is not so overloaded with seasonal winter diseases.
4. The only practical advice is to wash your hands with soap more often, singing «happy birthday» (each wash is two happyfords long)
5. Live a normal life, but preferably less often leaving your home and without visiting crowded events, public transport, trips abroad and handshakes. Boris Johnson, however, specified that he continues to shake hands, even in hospitals — but then he washes them for a long time.

Note I do not think that this is possible. Considering the probability, according to my calculations, no more than 100,000-300,000 will get sick. With large miscalculations by the authorities: From 300,000 to several million in the world.

Those who disseminate statistics make only 1 chart around the world. It is not necessary to need a schedule for each country marked ^.
So far, you yourself can see the distribution dynamics for each country in the table thanks to the numbers.

Differences in distribution patterns in each country will affect the situation.

Still, I do not believe in the probability of a case exceeding 99,000-500,000 cases in the world. Only in the case of complete amateurism and failure is more possible.
However, as always, we are now observing only the first manifestations.

Given the lines of recovery (1-3 weeks) and the incubation period, you can declare: The situation will last even at least 1 month (no one will get sick tomorrow) to 1 year.
There is still a danger of new cases of the spread of the virus if organizations reopen. Thus, tsunzwang happened. We cannot go on exemptions.
This is a stalemate for the economy.

My prediction of the possible versatility of the virus was confirmed by the news of an infected dog.
Now a couple of forecasts. Given the low level of quarantine in Europe, it is easy to predict from 10,000 to 300,000 thousand likely cases.
The previous forecast for China to from 8000 to 100000 (26.01) was almost correct.

Cases of negligence and oversights will significantly affect the situation. Perhaps the discovery of new wide distribution corridors.

The influence of coronavirus on geopolitics: Coronavirus has already affected Iran. Most likely, because of it, Iran does not help Russia in Idlib.
I believe that in the future, coronavirus will affect the course of hostilities in Syria. There will be no war between Russia and Turkey, the coronavirus will affect this.
It will also affect the fighting in Libya.

The most terrifying situation may be the impact on refugees. Turkey has a huge number of refugees. Moreover, Turkey practically lets them into Europe.
If an outbreak of refugee populations does take place then the result can be horrific. Probably the seepage of patients into Europe.
The likelihood of such a situation is low.

The likelihood of a total economic crisis is incredibly high. The severity of the crisis can hurt all sectors and sectors of the population.
As well as development and scientific progress. One or two bad news is probably enough.

Another unaccounted factor for the economy may be people's fear of buying Chinese goods, even if China emerges from the crisis.
It is panic that is likely to almost directly affect the spread of coronavirus.
A crisis may not occur only if China emerges from the crisis within a month and there are no new cases returning to China from other countries as a boomerang.

The likely spread of the virus in low-health countries will show real mortality.

In the near future there will be very few countries without at least 1 case.

The closure of plants and factories is likely to escalate into a mass and mandatory case. Mass layoffs or unpaid leave are possible.

I already recommend raising money just in case and not spending on unnecessary things.

For each country, the situation can strike in its own way: Russia: Oil and IT prices, Ukraine: Returned home workers and IT (Many work for foreigners).

On the other hand, there are good advantages: In the event of a crisis, you should not wait for the capture of AI by the world. The AI industry is likely to collapse.

Perhaps more cases of manifestations of social fear and inequality associated with coronavirus will increase.

Note I am a realist and the fact that I am not writing material in the spirit of «everything is lost.» Unfortunately, the forecast is made by the analysis of facts.

I hope that part of what is described here will not be possible.
In summary: Despite the relatively small danger to humanity compared to other viruses,
coronavirus can paralyze the global economy and also significantly affect many people.

Do not panic. In the end, the coronavirus should never fail to achieve the mortality characteristic of many other viruses.
It’s just worth a little to moderate your appetites and survive this period from 1 month to 1 year. Then again, everything should be fine.
