From James Robb, MD FCAP (thread via @SusanVermazen)

"When I was a professor of pathology at UC San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (in the 70s).

#CoronaVirus
#COVIDー19
@thespybrief
"I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained. Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources.
"The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data, but it is most likely to be widespread in the US by mid to late March and April. Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take.

Fantastic podcast on coronavirus #COVID - here are my notes, if helpful to anyone
Comparisons to other diseases:

Compared to SARS, MERS, coronavirus is "more transmissible... really unforgiving".

Compared to the flu - "I hear a lot of this, 'it's just like the flu' - it's 20x more deadly, from what we know right now"
The flu is, comparatively, "not that transmissible"... "for the flu you need close contact", which is defined as being within 6 feet for 10-15 mins.

Novel #coronavirus (#COVID19) is a new virus strain that emerged in December 2019.

The first case in Washington State was ID'ed Jan. 21 and the first case in King County was ID'ed Feb. 28.

To date, there are 14 total cases in King County, and we expect additional cases.
While the vast majority of #COVID19 cases are mild, some populations are vulnerable to serious infections, which can lead to death.

Of the 14 identified cases to date, 5 of those have died.

Our deepest sympathies go out to their families and community.
More vulnerable populations include people over 60, particularly with underlying conditions like diabetes, heart disease and lung disease.

Come up with a plan with your doctor to identify your health risks for #coronavirus and how to manage symptoms.

About the new #SARSCoV2 #HCoV19 #COVID19 #coronavirus cases in the US (and around the world): we have not had testing capacity until late last week. We are still ramping up testing around the country. That means there will probably be a lot of new cases in a short period of time.
That does not mean that there was a sudden inexplicable surge of cases. It means that there was a sudden and expected increase in testing and identifying cases that were already here.
Some of these cases are very worrisome. The nursing home in Kirkland, WA, for example. Many of the patients in high risk categories (elderly or with pre-existing conditions) will likely need hospital care. There are likely to be more deaths.

According to this latest literature review article,the #coronavirus can persist on surfaces (metal, glass, plastic...etc) for up to 9 days. 70% ethanol based disinfectants with 0.5 % hydrogen peroxide are efficient in cleaning surfaces and hands (leave it for 1 min. to evaporate)
journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-…
Correction: Use alcohol based sanitizer (70% ethnol) OR a 0.5% hydrogen peroxide bleach
