| Some strange disease in Wuhan |
| 2020-01-02 |
| [twitter] It is clear that a deadly respiratory disease has emerged in Wuhan, China. And most of the >25 cases are connected to a huge, closed fish market. Nothing else is definite. Rumors of #SARS are unconfirmed & doubted. Scientists who know more tell me they are required to keep secret |

| #1 Virologist; it is said are some of the most pessimistic people to talk with concerning the future of human Viruses. "The word virus appeared in 1599 and originally meant "venom". A very early form of vaccination known as variolation was developed several thousand years ago in China. It involved the application of materials from smallpox sufferers in order to immunize others. In 1717 Lady Mary Wortley Montagu observed the practice in Istanbul and attempted to popularize it in Britain, but encountered considerable resistance". Currently in my area I know of four men who were said to have stomach viruses. They required hospital admissions having lost the use of arms and legs. One transferred to Pittsburgh. The others status unknown. Mother of 40 year old son (she being a nurse) spoke of her sons problem and frustrated at no answers. Patient confidentiality of course prevents this news to be made known to the general public. I will not speculate as to why they have these symptoms but hope the event is a short term problem for them. |
