My wife and I had all the symptoms after coming back from Taiwan in late December. Knocked us down pretty good.

0 ( +0 / -0 )

Early symptoms are the same as a cold.

It can also be accompanied by diarrhea.

It is almost cured so far.

However, when you enter severe (it becomes difficult to breathe), the treatment and everything changes.

Negative pressure treatment room is needed and mortality rate rises rapidly.

People who have old age or underlying disease almost die.

The problem is that the transition from early to severe is sudden.

Therefore, you can not afford to see the progress of the disease.

Because I don't know when ..

The main problem is that the virus can live in a person's body for 14 to 24 days.

Of course, at this time, the transmission is fast.

Infection occurs between approximately 2 and 14 seconds.

One person became infected and met with another person on the same day.

However, there are many cases where a person who is infected later causes symptoms first.

Is it possible to suppress these viruses when the symptoms get worse?

Can't you see China getting this virus easily and failing in Wuhan?
