Latest stats on the corona virus

The number of contaminated people is what alarms me. It is growing fast which means the spreading is not controlled yet.

@JudyEv, it shakes the entire world of humans.

@Alexandoy they are still controlling that virus. This day there's Hongkong travel ban. Let's not be afraid . God is always watching us people from Philippines being a Christian country, honoring and loving God our only Saviour.

@Alexandoy that is China alone, wow

The number is only in China. I got that from the Philippine Inquirer today so that is almost factual.

@rakski, it's almost worldwide except middle East specifically in Saudi Arabia. Virus like nCOV can't survive in a very hot climate. That virus cannot also stay for so long in a tropical country like ours. We also have extreme temperature. China is a very cold country, the reason why deadly virus like Sars also originated from their country , except the Ebola virus which originated in North Africa the coldest. Let's hope God to bless and protect His children in Philippines and other countries in the world.

@Alexandoy here is a good short video that would help explain a lot of things, hope you watch it from beginning to end. Yes I'm also ignorant although I have a medically related course BS but situations like this virus necessitates that we learn and learn it fast, I'm forced to reeducate myself

May I ask what is the n95 respirator? I am curious with the name.

@louievill thank you for the information. I have to admit that I am ignorant of the face mask because I have used it only once when I went to visit a relative in the hospital. I am keeping that face mask as a souvenir but I haven't really checked it.

@Alexandoy I agree.

Even here, the latest from the health department are 24 of the 36 under observation have been cleared of the virus. But I know being cleared is not the same as being cured or getting healed.

Not yet for us but only in China. You can relax for now, no need for the face mask yet.

@resukill22 your worrying can only make you sick. The numbers I posted are only from China. Here in our country there is only 2 confirmed contaminated patient. Just one. Relax, enjoy life for now.

@Alexandoy but still I'm worried

Yes, those numbers are from our major newspaper.

@Ladanger we have to avoid people for now. Don't go to crowded places.

@Alexandoy how can we protect ourselves from this?

@Alexandoy Nope, I already got fever when the weather not going well.

Do you check the arriving people for fever?

@May2k8 I hope you get well soon.

@Alexandoy Yeah they do like to try to scare us.

It is not alarming here. Some people are just imaginative.

@crossbones27 some people here are easily scared. I was surprised to see children playing in the street this morning, the 3 of them were wearing face masks. Come on, that is a fashion now.

@Alexandoy We thought we had an infected person here because he had a sore throat and a cough but it turned out not to be Coronavirus.

@Alexandoy Hopefully there won't be any more. Fingers crossed

@sprite1950 that is nice to hear that it was a false alarm. In our country, there is just 1 contaminated person officially as of today.

@Alexandoy It starts from small. I hope we will soon be declared free from this virus

For sure it would be scary when there would be many contamination here.

You are right with the lockdown. But countries are getting their citizens from Wuhan. That includes the Philippines. Japan brought home 460 Japanese from Wuhan. 3 were contaminated. It's like they are bringing in the virus with that action.

@Alexandoy that's the duty of every nation's people to help and protect. There are almost a hundred in one city in China , I think Hubei , Pinoys already healed and they're schedule to fly to their Homeland. Let's pray so hard this time. This virus attack almost worldwide.

@cacay1 there are more than 20 countries with contaminated patients now.

I still have to read the news today about it.

@amitkokiladitya that's only for China.

@Alexandoy omg.....are these stats of China only or all around the world

We are now on the same boat. The good thing is that we are doing the isolation of the potential contaminated people.

@Shivram59 I hope all those students are certified clean of the virus. The bringing back of the citizens from China is not a good move. It is like bringing home the virus.

@Alexandoy That's exactly what's being done here in India either.Our students are being airlifted from China and being checked here properly.

The shortage of face masks started when Taal erupted and continued until now.

@Nakitakona we are talking of the generic face mask. Ordinary people like me do not understand the surgical from the n95.

@Alexandoy I think it's a different ask used by the Taal residents. It's N95 mask for respiratory not a surgical face mask.

Yeah, for sure it is bad since it has overtaken the numbers of SARS that was lethal in 2002.

@snowy22315 yes, in my list yesterday it is 1,018 already and the contaminated is 43,000 from Al Jazeera news channel.

Nice to hear that you still feel safe there.

@ramapo17 you are right that it can be sudden with the numbers and coverage of areas.

@Alexandoy All that can change quickly. I will post if it gets closer to us.

That is right. But now that we have only one contamination so it is not necessary to wear a face mask.

@Alexandoy As you wish.

@Janet357 do you mean school is out because of the corona virus?

Same with me, I don't wear although I now have 5 pieces of face masks given to me. There's no need to use them now.

@Alexandoy some schools have no classes because of it.

We only have 1 contaminated patient here so I don't think it is necessary to use fhe face mask.

@Alexandoy I think the same.

@ExplorewtMe so far we are not alarmed although the wearers of face mask are growing.

@Alexandoy ok, But you can't take that easy.
