  1. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/02/here-is-what-coronavirus-does-to-the-body/ Very good read. The Lungs: Ground zero For most patients, COVID-19 begins and ends in their lungs, because like the flu, coronaviruses are respiratory diseases. They spread typically when an infected person coughs or sneezes, spraying droplets that can transmit the virus to anyone in close contact. Coronaviruses also cause flu-like symptoms: Patients might start out with a fever and cough that progresses to pneumonia or worse. After the SARS outbreak, the World Health Organization reported that the disease typically attacked the lungs in three phases: viral replication, immune hyper-reactivity, and pulmonary destruction. Not all patients went through all three phases—in fact only 25 percent of SARS patients suffered respiratory failure, the defining signature of severe cases. Likewise, COVID-19, according to early data, causes milder symptoms in about 82 percent of cases, while the remainder are severe or critical. Look deeper, and the novel coronavirus appears to follow other patterns of SARS, says University of Maryland School of Medicine associate professor Matthew B. Frieman, who studies highly pathogenic coronaviruses. Medical staff members hugging each other in an isolation ward at a hospital in Zouping in China's easter Shandong Province. In the early days of an infection, the novel coronavirus rapidly invades human lung cells. Those lung cells come in two classes: ones that make mucus and ones with hair-like batons called cilia. Mucus, though gross when outside the body, helps protect lung tissue from pathogens and make sure your breathing organ doesn’t dry out. The cilia cells beat around the mucus, clearing out debris like pollen or viruses. Frieman explains that SARS loved to infect and kill cilia cells, which then sloughed off and filled patients’ airways with debris and fluids, and he hypothesizes that the same is happening with the novel coronavirus. That’s because the earliest studies on COVID-19 have shown that many patients develop pneumonia in both lungs, accompanied by symptoms like shortness of breath. Lots more info in article.
  2. Numbers sadly spiked up in China real bad today https://twitter.com/chrisschmitz/status/1227754197719879685/photo/1 I wonder the WHO taking over real numbers now over China since numbers increased big time today
  3. For Coronavirus numbers could spike up now possibly. It's a virus starts off slow then hits you badly. The virus can hide well under the lungs. As well as travels. Read something that 1 person infected 18 people in 2 hours. That's crazy.
  4. https://www.theepochtimes.com/coronavirus-patients-may-not-show-symptoms-for-over-3-weeks-study-says_3233985.html The incubation period for the new coronavirus can be as long as 24 days, according to the largest-study yet analyzing patients of the disease. The Feb. 9 study, which has yet to be peer-reviewed, was led by renowned Chinese respiratory doctor Zhong Nanshan and written in collaboration between 37 Chinese researchers. It analyzed around 1,100 patients across 31 provinces and 552 hospitals, and found that the median incubation period is 3 days, lower than a previous estimate of 5.2 days. The maximum incubation period is 24 days, it found—up from two weeks as previously projected. The researchers also could not exclude the possibility of super-spreaders—a sick individual who can infect a large number of others. Rapid Human-to-Human Transmission The study also found further evidence of human-to-human transmission: around 160 people—26 percent of non-Wuhan residents—did not travel to Wuhan recently prior to contracting the virus, nor did they have any contact with Wuhan locals. “The 2019-nCoV epidemic spreads rapidly by human-to-human transmission,” it concluded.
  5. China possibly not giving out real numbers.
  6. If Goodell wants to fork lots of money. Well build it or you if not stop talking nonsense idiot,
  7. Right on. These guys even McCoy not process players. Lot's of players play hurt. Don't give a rats behind about Watkins. Even tho Marrone is a jerk.
  8. Please 49ers win. Don't want these asshats talking all season... How bad instead of Super Bowl. Should be about Super Bowl. If was off season go for it. Only causing distractions or there team.
  9. In all means there talking crap. Don't need them anyways. Looking for process players who can help the team.
  10. Roman can make anyone look good. Tyrod, Kaepernick and others.
  11. kyle shanahan is a good Coach. Can design a offense well.
  12. Problem is Foster is skilled one area go deep. For defense it's much easier to defend it when it is one skilled area.. Bill's need more players multiple skills and good at it.
  13. Right seems like lots players are one skilled it's areas. It is much easier to defend when things are simple.
  14. Another reason why Daboll needs to hit the road jack.
