1/ I'm still in awe at how the localised emergency message service is currently working in S. Korea re: coronavirus

In Hwaseong just now, the first case of coronavirus was just beamed to every phone in the area. It tells people brief details but asks to visit city website or FB. Image
2/ The Facebook page is showing every single detail. 31 y.o. male, working in Kwonseon District. Visited Gumi on biz trip on Feb 21-22. Had fever. Visited hospital. House disinfected. Etc etc. Once further details are confirmed will reveal his exact route. ImageImageImage
3/ Meanwhile, the Hwaseong website is being a bit buggy right now, probably overloaded, but still, it presents information on the situation. Image

With the Nevada primary upon us and South Carolina waiting in the wings, I thought I might as well run over Bloomberg's health summary too. Ya know, that republican billionaire supervillain that has invaded the party. His came out in Dec:
1/
Bloomy's physician is an internist from Johns Hopkins, Dr. Stephen D Sisson. Though Dr. Sisson states BlooBloo has been seen at John Hopkins for years, he fails to state how long he has personally treated him. That info might be obtainable elsewhere but it's not here 2/
I only point this out cuz all the other candidate physicians establish the length of their doc/patient relationships. At the very least, Bloomberg's last physical was in July. Warren's was in Jan 2019. Sanders in December. Biden doesn't specify but the letter is dated mid Dec

On Dec 30, 2019, Chinese authorities confirmed cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei Province. A team of national experts was sent to carry out detection tests. Patients at a local seafood market were put in quarantine.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus
Liu Youning, a professor of epidemiology and respiratory medicine, told the Global Times that the #coronavirus found in #Wuhan appears to be far less serious than the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (#SARS) or the Middle East respiratory syndrome (#MERS).
