Yeah, but I can't see USA dodging this bullet.

I can't see them shutting down NYC. That would be doom level panic.

I think there was one case reported in Nigeria, but that person came from Iran or China. But yeah, we definitely need to watch what happens in those sort of climates.

Singapore - 96 cases, 0 deaths, 66 recovered, 8 in serious/critical condition.

Has it reached anywhere with a tropical climate yet?

Very few according to the maps but it might be that they haven’t really tested for them.

They should build hospital beds at the stock exchange

 

[Bjerknes]

All my stocks are getting destroyed, some of which was going to redeem in March. Good thing I have a day job.

Fuck you virus.

One case in Brazil iirc

Right. Just wondering if like Andy suggested, the climate is a factor on how much it can spread.

True, most of these countries would be even less equipped than Italy and Iran to deal with this.

If it's gonna reach sub-Saharan Africa for example, it should have done so by now as the Chinese there presence is huge. Maybe it has and we just don't know yet.

Would you rather have him create a panic? Pretty sure all Presidents would have said similar things.

most presidents would have said a miracle will make it disappear? Most presidents?

The policy should be more like - examining cases in the country and putting quarantines wherever you find the virus. The problem is that this will blockade cities, many will go bankrupt, crime rate will spike and so on. So Trump prefers to keep calm until things get drastic.

Whatever happens we are the men of our families and we should keep calm and give confidence to others. It's our job to protect them and show no fear no matter what and hope for the best.

And I absolutely agree with that. My fears and anxiety are hidden from the rest of my family. It doesn't mean that I can't feel that way inside.

I don’t expect much from sub Saharan countries, but I’d be interested to see how this will be developed in Australia and NZ, which reported its first case today.

 

[Bjerknes]

Not sure if I should answer this call.

Why Australia and NZ? NZ is temperate and Australia is only partially tropical.

What I meant is that they are not that cold, and they actually have decent capabilities.

Clearly it can survive in the tropics. Hopefully just not as much as cooler places

It looks like it is less serious in Singapore.

Most of them might have been traveling from China though.

Yup, though if it's similar to the flu then it will still have some potency in warmer climates.

I’m not sure but I think SARS and MERS showed 2 different patterns regarding the climate.
