It's should be a Pandemic earlier. Many EURO countries are still hesitant, listless in prevent the corona spreading. They are still racist aimed at Asians instead. They should to aimed their act at the virus.

I found an interesting article about blockchain and this virus, the conclusion is that the platform have a function in providing corona virus treatment with blockchain through medical supply donation portal to support hospitals in China.

This virus is not as dangerous as many people think. Mortality from coronavirus is about 3-5%, and mortality from the ordinary flu is about 0.5%. But it is important to understand that, according to statistics, 90% of coronavirus deaths are old people who have poor immunity. Therefore, if you are a middle-aged person, if you lead a more or less glorious lifestyle, then even if you become infected with this virus, you will most likely recover.

Exactly. Governments are notoriously reactive instead of pro-active. I understand why they are hesitant to implement quarantine procedures; it is a drastic action to take, and impacts the economy. But waiting for an outbreak to occur before initiating a quarantine is counter-productive. The virus is spreading, it will reach everywhere sooner or later. It has a 5 day incubation period. If you wait until there is an outbreak before starting the quarantine, then you are too late, infected people have been spreading for 5 days already. Far better to implement quarantine earlier.

You're right! I just noticed that there were many bigger pandemics those killed tens of millions of people in the past. Corona virus has high spreading ratio and speed, but not really dangerous. Over 50% infected people over the world have recovered and only 3.7% died. We just need to be careful but not panic.

If it's an order of magnitude more deadly than flu, and it is also more readily transmissible, then it should be considered a serious threat.

The basic reproduction number (R0), is the average number of other people that someone with a virus will themselves infect. The R0 for coronavirus isn't yet fully determined, but does appear to be around 2-3, which is considerably higher than normal flu. You're right that panic is counter-productive, but this is a big threat and should be treated as such.

@josephsonand I’ll second that as many people now, are recovering after first testing positive for COVID-19  which  only means that people are being fooled into believing that once a person gets this virus he’s certain to die. @Cnut237 there’s no doubt that this virus is a grave threat but people need to understand that not all will die if they get infected, because with proper care this virus threat can be eliminated from the infected persons body.

The Corona Virus is an epidemic infectious disease that enters the body of another person but it's not as dangerous. the number of deaths was so high that folks didn't know it within the beginning but now its effects have decreased greatly and therefore the number of medicines has been discovered to cure most are recovering and there's nothing to panic about.

After a long conversation with some medical experts now I know its more than a flu,Corona damages multiple internal organs at the same time so it is not possible to change or treat multiple organs at the same time that is why the death rate is getting more furious.It gets transferred so quick and now there are news coming up hand sanitizers are completely remove these viruses so don't feel so protected after washing your hands.

... if you lead a more or less glorious lifestyle, then even if you become infected with this virus...

I would definitely like to lead a glorious lifestyle.

How would one start on the road to this goal?

You don't know that this virus also damages male's fertility.

Hubei province(whose capital is Wuhan) gov website once suggested all the affected males within age range to do a fertility check. Then that post was removed just in time not to cause a wide panic.

China's central government is the most organized and powerful government in the world.  Once they stepped  in and pushed the local government aside, things got under control remarkably quick.   I don't think these western countries will be able to keep this from spreading the way they did.

Seems like the term "pandemic" is stereotyped as the start of the "end of the world", as depicted in sci-fi movies. But in my opinion, the declaration of COVID-19 outbreak as pandemic is a bit of exaggeration of the situation. The transfer of the virus from one person to another might already began even before they started recording the data on the COVID-19 cases, as well as the deaths and recoveries.

It's a matter of time for us to overcome this crisis, and a matter of cooperation among people all over the world to be responsible not only to ourselves but also to our community.

TV make the term 'pandemic' sound like some genocide causing issue or some apocalypse story

the point of the term pandemic is just to have this event noted as not an ordinary condition/scenario. this then allows new laws to be created/used for just special events.

EG by having a law of self isolation during a pandemic. means countries cannot later on randomly use that law to create some martial law condition for no reason/anytime as they please. but it can be enacted only in a pandemic situation

it allows laws to force insurance companies to just pay out without question instead of trying to argue that a patient has done something not worthy of payout(their usual clauses)

it allows flights to be allowed to be cancelled without them losing their slots in the future or be penalised for not carrying mail/freight on time

it also allows statutory sick payments to be automated without people needing to show proof of why they are not working
for instance, not letting employers use it as an excuse to sack staff for not turning up to work for a month

but as i said its aim is to use this for special circumstance events only. and once the classification of 'pandemic' has been removed. things can go back to business as usual without countries overstepping the mark by abusing these special event laws

however TV/Media will not talk about the real reason. and just glory hound the term as a apocalypse news story

What ever cause the corona virus is still unclear but from the look of things it defunetly came from china. It just came up thats why treating it is not that simple. People who have not been living healthy lives should just quarantine themselves as fast as they can. Not everyone is dying fom the virus as statistics comclude. The symptoms are very clear. Once you have the symptomps call your nearest medical insttitution or some hotline provided in some countries. People have to be strong, whe the ebola hit, things were just as tough. It wil get better eventually. The people were not prepared when it first hit, now they know how to take care of themselves.

[BADecker]

Get into checking WHO out. Not all their members agree that Coronavirus should be called a pandemic. There is a lot of evidence that CV is mostly fear and hype.
