. Two top Hong Kong University microbiologists on Wednesday said it is easier for people to remember the coronavirus as the "Wuhan virus" and slammed the culture of wild meat consumption on the mainland, saying mainlanders have forgotten the bitter lessons of the 2003 Sars outbreak.
In an article in the Chinese-language newspaper Ming Pao co-written by Yuen Kwok-yung and his colleague David Lung, the microbiologists said that the current coronavirus pandemic originated from the mainland city of Wuhan.
They called on people to stop forwarding rumours that the virus originated in the US, saying this is baseless and a joke.
On a controversy over names for the virus, the experts wrote they think it is “simple and direct” to call it "Wuhan coronavirus" or "Wuhan pneumonia".
They said the disease was named Covid-19 because the World Health Organisation stopped using names of people or places from 2015.
“While scientists should use Covid-19 during academic exchanges, it is easy for communication for ordinary people and the media to call it Wuhan virus or Wuhan pneumonia,” they wrote.
They also warned there would be "Sars 3.0" if people on the mainland do not stop eating wild animals.
“It’s a serious mistake that tough measures were not taken and game meat markets were not closed after the Sars outbreak. One must face the truth and avoid the same mistake again to fight the pandemic. Don’t blame it on others,” they wrote.
They reminded people that the Sars outbreak was linked to viruses that came from civet cats.
“It’s been seventeen years. Markets selling game meat are not banned. The problem has become more serious. Mainland people have completely forgotten the lesson from the Sars outbreak. It is eyebrow-raising that there are game meat markets in the middle of developed cities, and people openly sell, cook and eat them,” the article said.
It said mainland people's disrespect for animals was the source of this virus outbreak.
Deeeez Knicks wrote:South Korea offers hopeAmid these dire trends, South Korea has emerged as a sign of hope and a model to emulate. The country of 50 million appears to have greatly slowed its epidemic; it reported only 74 new cases today, down from 909 at its peak on 29 February. And it has done so without locking down entire cities or taking some of the other authoritarian measures that helped China bring its epidemic under control. “South Korea is a democratic republic, we feel a lockdown is not a reasonable choice,” says Kim Woo-Joo, an infectious disease specialist at Korea University. South Korea’s success may hold lessons for other countries—and also a warning: Even after driving case numbers down, the country is braced for a resurgence.
Behind its success so far has been the most expansive and well-organized testing program in the world, combined with extensive efforts to isolate infected people and trace and quarantine their contacts. South Korea has tested more than 270,000 people, which amounts to more than 5200 tests per million inhabitants—more than any other country except tiny Bahrain, according to the Worldometer website. The United States has so far carried out 74 tests per 1 million inhabitants, data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show.
South Korea’s experience shows that “diagnostic capacity at scale is key to epidemic control,” says Raina MacIntyre, an emerging infectious disease scholar at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. “Contact tracing is also very influential in epidemic control, as is case isolation,” she says.

Doubt it, it is very dangerous to use 3D printed, non tested and non-quality controlled equipment in these cases. These idiots should be sued.

I wouldn't want anything to be put inside of me, that can be made by Guiseppe in his back room. Quality control? Sterility? I don't know EU/ Italian law, but I'm pretty sure these devices are heavily regulated, and these guys just got around everything.Stannis wrote:gavran wrote:Stannis wrote:https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/17/21184308/coronavirus-italy-medical-company-threatens-sue-3d-print-valves-treatments

It says they worked on 10 patients. Not sure if it will remain that way or not.
You think these are more dangerous compared no valves at all?

I had a YouFit membership. It's super cheap, but I had told the front desk a half dozen times the past year or more their showers are filthy.
Two weeks ago, right before this hit the fan, I went in and cancelled, telling them their chronic disregard for public hygiene was now going to cost them a lot of business.
