If you really don't understand the value of isolating the virus, that's surprising to me, but it would explain a lot.

I guess I'm confused. We have tests for it, and we've genetically sequenced it. Is that different from isolating it?

Hard to believe we have become such alarmists Lets see lived thru blizzards.AIDS Swine flu,Sars,legionares disease Avian flu Zeka virus West Niles .We have what 30 case for 50 states.Most deaths are from 1 nursing home in the US.But hey lets close everything down.Then we have to ask how many people are sneaking across the border every day Seems there isnt uch worry about that.Last year more people had and died from the flu than we have with this.Rocky

Well, from my understanding, the virus has been isolated a few times before, but it is continually mutating. Each isolation allows them to track how it is mutating and how much time it took to mutate. This apparently gives critical data to the scientists that they can use for future testing and hopefully in developing a vaccine.

I'm not a microbiologist, so the above is what I've gathered, in layman's terms, from reading about it.

I'm not that smart but pretty sure if you don't test the number won't go up.

just today we had 250 deaths, for a total of almost 2000...
15.000 persons infected...6000 in intensive care. I think it is something to be taken seriously.

antonellomopar, This is where you just shrug your shoulders and do what YOU need to do to stay safe.

Let the people that want to ignore this handle the virus when it hits them. There is NOTHING you or I can say that will change their minds.

We currently have 37 dead JUST in Washington state. And 565 confirmed cases.
The main reason we do not have more is we are learning from China and Italy's mistakes. We are in most parts doing "Social Distancing".

Not point a finger at anyone person. Just saying do your best to stay clear of this.
There is a saying "There is no cure for STUPID". But DEATH is a sure cure for it.

We are going to Italy situations, schools are now closed as from today, at least until the week after Easter. Last evening now for restaurants, pubs, events, sports events, everything cancelled as from today!
559 infected, 3 dead, but we are just starting! Non food stores have to close in the weekends.
Foodstores have trouble to keep up with dry foods, meat, vegetables, fruit...
My daughter has picked 2 boxes of Corona beer at a pub, for free, there was a complete pallet outside! You could also drink this for free at this café, I guess they couldn't sell this anymore.
People go creasy, borders of countries are closing for foreigners..

That right there is just STOOPID - refusing to drink Corona beer because it sounds like the virus....

My Costco normally has Corona for $25 for a 24 bottle case so just over $1 per bottle. I just picked up 2 cases for $14 or $0.29 a bottle. A slice of lime kills all bad stuff.

I know a Whisky distiller that will be buying up all the unsold cases here soon. He just runs it thru the distiller twice and you can not taste any hops or beer. He just adds Junipre berrys and POOF, GIN.

Well, it looks like it has hit an elderly family member of my home. Yes, it is all fun and games till it hits home.
She is 85-86.
Already showing some signs.
Very tired has now been sleeping 20 hours a day. Only has got up to eat and then tossed her cookies. Feals very warm almost hot.
And then went right back to sleep.
