... warning: this is an interview of doctor on front line since Jan 06 in Wuhan and is tough reading.

Caixin: Based on your clinical experience, what’s the disease progression of the new coronavirus?

Peng: Lately I’ve been spending the daytime seeing patients in the ICU, then doing some research in the evenings. I just wrote a thesis. I drew on data from 138 cases that South Central Hospital had from Jan. 7-28 and attempted to summarize some patterns of the novel coronavirus.

A lot of viruses will die off on their own after a certain amount of time. We call these self-limited diseases. I’ve observed that the breakout period of the novel coronavirus tends to be three weeks, from the onset of symptoms to developing difficulties breathing. Basically going from mild to severe symptoms takes about a week. There are all sorts of mild symptoms: feebleness, shortness of breath, some people have fevers, some don’t. Based on studies of our 138 cases, the most common symptoms in the first stage are fever (98.6% of cases), feebleness (69.6%), cough (59.4%), muscle pains (34.8%), difficulties breathing (31.2%), while less common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting.

But some patients who enter the second week will suddenly get worse. At this stage, people should go to the hospital. Elderly with underlying conditions may develop complications; some may need machine-assisted respiration. When the body’s other organs start to fail, that’s when it becomes severe, while those with strong immune systems see their symptoms decrease in severity at this stage and gradually recover. So the second week is what determines whether the illness becomes critical.

The third week determines whether critical illness leads to death. Some in critical condition who receive treatment can raise their lymphocyte, a type of white blood cell, and see an improvement in their immune systems, and have been brought back, so to speak. But those whose lymphocyte numbers continue to decline, those whose immune systems are destroyed in the end, experience multiple organ failure and die.

For most, the illness is over in two weeks, whereas for those for whom the illness becomes severe, if they can survive three weeks they’re good. Those that can’t will die in three weeks.

...

Caixin: What is the highest risk a serious patient faces?

Peng: The biggest assault the virus launches is on a patient’s immune system. It causes a fall in the count of lymphocytes, the damage in the lungs and shortness of breath. Many serious patients died of choking. Others died of the failure of multiple organs following complications in their organs resulting from a collapse of the immune system.

... since we are not allowed to call it AIDS-flu by the WHO and Overlords in our government who are lying, withholding information, performing derelection of duty, covering up and risking lives, I won't call it AIDs-flu ...  but fuck me that sounds a lot like AIDS-flu.

Edit: to fight a virus the public need the best information available as soon as it is available. The virus thrives on the darkness and fear. Truth is needed NOW or science will not have a chance against this beast.

Evidence is showing that the virus is compromising bone marrow and therefore blood cell production. They are actually seeing a decrease in the body’s immune response.

This is an attack vector or with other words a weapon.

[OutOfMemory]

Good morning.

Science also needs to check if and how fast the immune system recovers from the drop in lymphocytes.
Example: The measles, where infections are more dangerous to adults than to children, because the virus "resets" the immune system.
Children have more undeveloped immune systems, so a infection with measles does not much harm to the immune system, it continues to develop, the setback is small.
Whereas in case of an adult with fully developed immunity to various bacteria and viruses risks secondary complications right after the body finished fighting the main measles infection.
This mechanism was discovered just recently, i think mid 2019.

Americans started stealing Chinese technology.

I bet from now on the laws defending intellectual property rights won't be so important for the US.

Major crypto conferences across Asia are being put on hold because of the coronavirus

The rapid spread of the widely feared Coronavirus has sent shockwaves across the global markets and has even led some crypto analysts to note that investors flocking to safe-haven assets as a result of the virus’s spread has bolstered Bitcoin.

One other side effect of the Coronavirus’s spread has been the cancellations or delays of multiple major cryptocurrency events across the globe, likely having a significant impact on the subsequent turnout – and therefor industry influence – of these events.

[Cryptotourist]

It will be full of fooking tourists.  Like that last time !

"crypto" tourists?

[Gyrsur]

Girls, we have to break this barrier below somehow in the next weeks. if the sky is open for us!

[Cryptotourist]

~ the sky is open for us!

The force is strong in this cycle, young apprentice.

[HairyMaclairy]

Usually, it is better to buy on the way down rather than on the way up.. but maybe the price will keep going up.

I’m going to disagree somewhat on this point. It doesn’t matter what direction the price is moving when you buy, so long as your sell above that price.

Get back in your box.  It is not yet time.

Tbh, it feels a lot better to buy while it is going up. Every buy you made earlier becomes greener than before. You see the results right away. It becomes really ugly when the momentum shifts though. (and it is almost impossible to get out at the right time because you are addicted to the profits you make)

When you buy while it is going down, you'll have to wait a bit more to see the results but you get bigger returns.

When you DCA, You don't care whether it goes down or up. You don't give af. You buy either way.

[Globb0]

Buying decline repeatedly is to lover the DCA though so can see the mentality. Still is the average cost really your focus?.

Interesting analysis with the Ichimoku cloud

Bitcoin Explodes as Rare Bull Signal Flashes For the First Time in 10 Months

Dubbed as Ichimoku Cloud, the technical indicator turned green to identify a long-term upside trend shortly after bitcoin surged towards $9,769.70 on Wednesday. It also hinted at the imminent formation of a Golden Cross – a popular candlestick pattern that predicts an upcoming bull market.

[ivomm]

It was so fast, I didn't see what happened with the 400 BTC walls at 9800 both in Bitstamp and CB? Were they eaten or removed?

[serveria.com]

Need to find that quote by jonoiv saying btc will never reach 10k again in it's history
