Cleveland Clinic’s new coronavirus testing capabilities will deliver results within hours

At least we have it now. Here's something else out of the UK that talks about CT scans of the lungs as a possible early diagnostic tool as well.That's nice, but Germany, South Korea and other countries have had comparable technology in place for 6 weeks.

We have a congressman in quarantine after mocking the virus by wearing a gas mask on the floor of congress.
So no, I don't believe with such a large republican presence in our government that effective measures will be taken.
I know you know the "case, case, case, cluster, cluster, BOOM" thing
Are you near a cluster like we have in Westchester?
In swine flu of 1918 some places like LA had few issues while Louisville Kentucky got slammed.
I knew we would get hit because of all the travelers here.
Speaking of Italy, someone asked in another thread if anyone knew someone who contacted the virus. Well, my wife's best friends daughter lives in Italy and her father-in-law who has lived his whole life in Milan was healthy but in his 70's contacted the virus and was dead in a few days.
There have been suspicions that Iran and Italy have a more deadly variety of Corona . I was reading about those suspicions the same week a lady with Corona flew from Iran to NYC. Cuomo said it was all cool because "she didn't use the subways".
Why do you think that is?
The Chinese identified two variants with once considered more communicable. That observation was confirmed by others. A deadlier strain hasn't been clinically confirmed but the Iranian and Italian outbreaks were so deadly there have been experts concerned they were seeing a more deadly CV. In Iran, people have to be buried with 24 hrs and cemeteries were being described as overwhelmed
Coronavirus: Are there two strains and is one more deadly?

Sucks we didn't ban travel from Italy earlier
Isn't there basically one is place already?
..and Iran.
Key now is to stop introducing new cases into the country from elsewhere
Stop community spread within the country.
Get widespread testing done.
Are there any doctors on this board ? Or other medical professionals ? Would love to hear from them
What are you interesting in hearing? There are a few MDs who post in this thread. Just a PhD in chem eng'g here, although with 30+ years of working with new drugs under development in R&D, including antibiotics and vaccines, meaning I've worked with countless MDs over the years on topics like infections, transmission rates, transmission vectors, and epidemiology.Are there any doctors on this board ?

put a sock in it jay, do you really think any sensible person would believe the crap you re spewing,. another pissed off bernie guyWhat does this even mean. Was a republican not mocking the virus? Has this administration walked back its proposed cuts to the CDC? (lol nope they reaffirmed their insistence on cutting the CDC's budget)
If we acted like adults and had adults as leaders maybe we had a shot. We have populist republicans in charge and look where we are now.
again.. you guys keep making it political.. it isn't. Both sides had people telling Trump stopping flights from China was a bit much early on.. BOTH SIDES.Sadly this is true.
The precautionary measures that should have been taken were dramatically diminished due to Health Department(s) cutbacks and a total lack of acknowledgment / denial of the crisis.

Russ Vought, the acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, on Tuesday doubled down on proposed cuts to health services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), despite the coronavirus outbreak.
Rep. Matt Gaetz wore a gas mask on House floor during vote on coronavirus response package
Reps. Mark Meadows, Doug Collins, and Matt Gaetz said Monday that they are self-quarantining after learning they came in contact with a person infected with coronavirus while attending a conservative conference in the Washington area last month.
So how bad do you really think this is ? What are we looking at ?
Not so far, just amateurs and their opinions.
Would really like to hear from infectious disease physicians
