Wuhan coronavirus

Cool thanks, ordered. Blimey, as this continues there is going to be some things we haven't thought about, and taken for granted.

Italy patient 1 with coronavirus *still* tests positive, despite lengthy treatment

Video from hospital in Italy, patients in corridor, many critical patients, respirators.

The first case was on the 31st January in Italy
That case is still positive, the virus is still replicating inside the body
That is 1 month and 17 days later.
This virus evades the immune system?

I went looking to see when the first was confirmed in Italy before I read your last post. The dates I got were 'started to feel ill around Feb 14' and admitted to hospital on Feb 19. (https://www.lastampa.it/torino/2020/03/17/news/coronavirus-il-paziente-1-del-piemonte-e-ancora-positivo-1.38603347)
Regardless though, that's at least a month. He did get pneumonia and was in ICU for 18 days;

"Mattia had mild pneumonia, but was resistant to any known therapy.
"I thought that, to help him, I had to look for something impossible."

It is sounding like this virus, or a mutation thereof, could potentially be quite resilient. That's not so good for us....

Coronavirus has had no affect on the ability of the US to launch its nuclear weapons
