    I was a frontline heath worker in Nigeria and later, Sierra Leone. There is no way to describe the desperate struggle to contain this disease. And the amazing sacrifice of everyone involved.
    RIP to everyone we lost.
    NB. IV fluids are vastly superior to oral fluids. The reason MSF were against IVF was because of a lack of trained staff and the increased risk to health workers (the spacesuit doesn't protect against needlestick injuries). At my treatment centre, from the day we got over our fear and started setting IVs routinely, not a single person died.

      Today, it has been confirmed, that people can have the virus in their lungs (and therefore be contagious) without showing symptoms.
      To be precise, a 10-year-old boy was found with the virus in his lungs, but he had no symptoms, no fever, nothing.
      This is deeply concerning because that means that all the "temperature check" stations at airports etc are much less effective than originally thought.

      Here's why. Bats way of life, living packed in huge numbers, allows viruses to spread through them easily. Bats have a stronger immune system due to metabolism changes needed to be able to fly. When they fly, their body temp goes up very high. Viruses evolve to survive this heat, and bats aren't killed by the virus so they evolve to withstand human fever temperatures.

      They are pretty pricey, and made for high value equipment, like cameras and electronics. But assuming the baggage handlers can even damage them, Pelican will replace them free of charge. But that's what you get for guarantees for things designed to military specs designed to protect equipment worth thousands, if not tens of thousands. It will probably be the last case you ever buy, on the downside, toughness means weight, which means less stuff in your bag. But if you're bringing a computer, or valuables, it's definitely worth it for peace of mind.

I sat in the room by myself for around 45 minutes to an hour before a doctor or anybody saw me. I was diagnosed with pneumonia and everybody was relaxed (like oh you don’t have this deadly illness you just have this one.).

      During the closure of the airport after the terrorist attacks in Brussels they transfered as many other flights as they could to other Belgian airports.(small airports used to having one-two passenger flights a day) Setup a crisis center to answer peoples questions; They hired busses to get people from Brussels to these airports... It was a huge operation that costed them a lot of money, more
      money than cancelling all flights, they didn't have to do it legally, but still they did.
      I made a trip during that period and the return flight was a code share, the operator wasn't even bothered to tell me the status of my flight, 1 social media message to Brussels airlines and they rebooked me on one of their flights to belgium.
      The people who run the daily operation of the airline do an amazing job, sadly the board of directors prefers to sell out the company to Lufthansa for no apparent reason.

      @MsSunhappy You can only really know the mortality rate after the fact by looking at the dead to recovered statistics, the 4% is a comparison between the Dead vs total infected so there is no way of knowing how many of those infected will end up dying or recovering. As of now the official numbers from China (As if you can trust anything China say..) dead vs recovered is at 81 dead vs 59 recovered, if this statistic continues the mortality rate will be catastrophic, but there is no way of telling with such low numbers. And this will be much harder to contain than ebola since ebola only spreads after the infected start showing syptoms while the coronavirus can start infecting others 10 days before any symptoms appear. If a case is discovered at day one of symptoms showing in a country it just means there is a potential of 10 days that it have already been spreading among the population.
