a blood test would be difficult as this is the 5th corona virus so many people may have antibodies and you would need tests a week apart to show a rise...just too slow.
what will kill this epedemis is the ready availability of an on the spot PCR test like they already have for influenza i believe.
you need the same speed of analysis as when people buy a pregnancy test at the chemist.
result in 90 seconds.
then test everyone.
self isolate all positives and its done.
i think this virus is being grossly over estimated because many many people are like richard wilkins and feel well and so dont get into the statistics.
i doubt it is much worse then the flu and think the over reaction has done a lot more harm then good
793 people died in the last 24 hour period in Italy.
https://edition.cnn.com/ bobby,
population of italy over 70....10million.
assuming that 1 million of them die every year (not unreasonable for that demographic), that means that approximately 20,000 italians would be dying every week if this virus did not exist.
thats 3000 italians dying each day .
so those figures are THE NORM.
old people DIE.
thats what they do.
if you have a very infectious disease , it might knock them off.
the stat YOU need to concentrate on is 10,000 south koreans under 30 have tested positive with ZERO deaths.
that makes this milder then the flu for young people.
why shouldnt young people go to school or to bondi.
this is mass hysteria fueled by pussy politicians and a media who are desperate for advertising revenue and out to scare you
