@Paashaas, isn’t there a first in the Netherlands as well ?

Yhea, the list is getting bigger.

The virus reached Amsterdam already....it spreads very fast

Yep, now there are two Corona cases in The Netherlands, both from people that went to Italy (Lombardije)

Almost no virus in Africa and South America.

Maybe a warmer climate makes the virus spread slower.
Or maybe they are lacking good detection tools.

I have a feeling this virus is here to stay (like seasonal flue). Soon when people ask for a corona, they will be asked if they want
the beer or the virus

And why do you think that is?

Indeed, I’ve shipped devices that provided canned boot sector data before - not as an exploit, but because the operating environment needed such in order to function. Of course, that was a ‘from the factory’ thing, not a field exploit.

Yeah, that's exactly what THEY wanted you to believe

Just kidding. Or maybe not... Was that "canned boot" somehow easily replaceable with a different one afterwards? Ie: the canned boot residing in another area of the HD which could be updated or using a custom tool? Or just reusing all the developed firmware, replacing the "canned boot" and generating the payloaded firmware?

Well, the canonical example would be to package a disk with a 'paddle card' protocol converter which sits between the drive and the system's SCSI | ATA | Fibre Channel | 1553 | Ethernet | InfiniBand | whatever bus. The canned boot sector would be resident in the FW of the paddle card. Used for things such as allowing contemporary HDDs to be used as boot devices on legacy systems built before the dawn of large HDDs.

i had a card on one of my PCs (maybe around the pentium 2 era? was playing doom or quake then i think, whenever that was) that allowed me to boot with drives larger than what the mobos bios could handle. fixed the cylinder/head/etc limit that became a issue on bigger drives about then.. it had its own bios. there was a way to futz that in software but im more a hardware guy so wanted the card.

Please explain, would it be there, but just not in the news? Have seen some in South America but still...

I'm curious?

Mmm I think detection tools are not the problem, warmer climate could be...

Yeah also very international place of-course...

Australia is a very hot place  i don't know. There are a few cases in south america but not many.

Summer is part of it, will put a pic up soon. But the big one is lack of reporting or testing. Take a look at Indonesia, massive connection with China, particularly air travel. No cases.

3rd world countries all seem pretty immune. Hell of a coincidence.

Can anyone confirm in Italy there was a news people infected with a virus and they were not in any contact with other infected people? There are also some news about the cured people who get the virus again.

Of course they were in contact in some way. They just didn't know it. Maybe they use the door knob on the same bathroom then touched their face. This thing is contagious, possible R0 of 6, in a months time few people are going to know where they caught it.

How do you know that? What if they didn't have any contacts with nobody?

What? a virus does not just spontaneously create itself or teleport from one location to another. I know that doesn't happen because science.

[Tash]

Almost no virus in Africa and South America.

Not a single infection in central America and a single in South America (Brazil)
3 have been in whole of Africa, 1 recovered

China has active land borders with 13 countries 9 of them no-one infected ever.
The 4 countries who did have 22 people infected all recovered.
No neighbor country has anyone infected currently and none deaths in those countries.

North Korea 0
Mongolia 0
Kazakhstan 0
Kyrgystan 0
Tajikistan 0
Pakistan 0
Myanmar (Burma) 0
Bhutan 0
Laos 0
Nepal 1
Russia 2
India 3

Yea it's strange to me that the cured people could get the infection again after a very short time. Is this even possible?  I mean once you get cured you're supposed to be healthy at least for some time.

Those countries have cases, just not tested for them yet or reported. Just like Indonesia.

Dude, you are making a plethora of pretty weird statements. Everyone is in contact with other people and even if that were not true (really?) they could be in contact with things that have been in contact with other people. If someone really were as isolated as you are assuming we would probably never even know about them.

It seems like this could be true. First reports of this out of China, were not solid evidence, put down to a clerical error I think. But, Japan had a case recently where a woman was reinfected, it is possible that maybe she never got rid of it though and it just came back. Either way, this is bad, and do everything you can to avoid it.

Maybe they were not completely cured. I mean maybe they did just have a recurrence before the virus was fully eliminated from their system. That happens.
