TORONTO -- In the wake of the announcement that Canada has confirmed its first “presumptive positive” case of coronavirus, health officials and experts are downplaying the severity of the virus, suggesting most cases could be mild.
But infectious disease expert Dr. Neil Rau notes this may not be a “disastrous” development, suggesting that the speed of which the virus appears to be transmitted doesn’t necessarily correlate to severity. “The analogy with SARS stops when it comes to the severity of the disease,” Rau said. “In the case of SARS, you had a patient in the intensive care unit and the very nurse taking care of that patient becoming sick and ending up in the same intensive care unit on a breathing machine. We don’t have that story this time.”
“I think it’s very important for us all to realize that many people will have a very mild form of this disease,” he said. “Many people in China probably don’t even know they’ve had it, haven’t sought medical care, or if they have sought medical care, have recovered quite quickly. This is fairly typical of a viral disease.”
So tired of Canadian news media constantly insulting the intelligence of Canadians.
System did exactly what the system is suppose to do. And the pt did the right thing.
Experts say Uber in Surrey would be fucken nice
'Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the director of CDC, said the incubation period for the novel coronavirus is an estimated 14 days from the time of exposure to getting sick. During incubation, patients aren't infectious.' So a 14-day quarantine is a possible tool.
Experts downplay death. Ya, right.
Of course they do because they’ve been to to by a leader that idolizes the Chinese Government.
CTV: 'it is going to be difficult to contain the spread of this virus globally despite best efforts' no, No, NO, there are no best efforts happening in Canada. In fact Trudeau still has his fingers squarely up his arse on this Intercept passengers with masks for self quarantine
when will we acknowledge Trudeau is actively trying to kill us off.
