Incubation period is min 2 weeks. when virus enters in body, it may take 14 days to start showing symptoms.
This is very dangerous. Because normal people can also have it but they don’t know it and spreading to others.
Some people who tested negative in initial days were confirmed positive in further tests.
Also, after quarantine and treatment, people released as recovered may test positive again.
Vegetarian food, Indian immunity won’t prevent Covid-19, says Anand Krishnan
There seems to be an overwhelming optimism that heat will reduce the impact of coronavirus. What do you think?
The chances of survival of the virus will be less as the temperature goes up, but the exact impact is hard to predict. Whatever the impact, one thing is for sure, it will not be drastic.
Many social media messages claim that Indians have a higher immunity because of the conditions we live in and are exposed to. Is that correct?
That is absolute drivel. There is no immunity against the novel coronavirus. It is also difficult to say for certain whether it is impossible to get a second infection because it is a new virus. While in case of some viruses one gets lifelong immunity after the first infection, in other cases that doesn’t happen. But there is no cross immunity — in the sense that an earlier infection caused by some other virus will give you immunity against the coronavirus.

Many people have switched to vegetarian food for fear of contracting the virus.
There is no evidence that choice of food will make any difference in the spread of the virus. Food is certainly not the source of transmission. It may be different for people who live near abattoirs etc. But if you cook it in your home kitchen and have it, there is no problem. Well-cooked meat is never a problem.
What about the preventive functions of garlic, turmeric, honey etc. Do they help?
These are very general… We have been having garlic for years. If it was really protective we would not have any diseases. These are very general, not specific to any disease, least of all the novel coronavirus.
What is social distancing?
Respiratory infections spread by contact so there are normally restrictions placed on social mixing. A distance of 1-2 metres is good enough for an infection to spread. There are models on how an infection spreads based on available data. That is where the effectiveness of such measures are estimated. However, there are issues related to the availability of such data to cover all population groups.

Its just a flu says another patient (from delhi after the kerala girl) who recently recovered from COVID-19
Looks a bit influenced ..still there seems to be nothing worrisome unless you’re 60/70+ or with an underlying health condition
Well, that is the point. I and everyone I live with have underlying health condition / is above 60.

Quick check guys – Are any of you above 50 here?
Guess..it is fairly easy to get the COVID-19 test done if you’re a celebrity
Idris Elba got him tested for the virus (even with zero symptoms) and tested positive.

Shit just got real! No symptoms but still tested positive? WTF
This has been known since a long time, you can be asymptomatic for a fortnight but still be nCoV positive, more importantly though you will likely infect others in that time!
Yeah OK. I am the idiot who didn’t know it. What happens to these type of people, those who are asymptomatic but still has the corona, do they die later or what?
Is it ok to eat fruits and salads without boiling? Any official statement in this regard?
Coronavirus: People consume cow urine in Kolkata
A cow urine consumption programme was organised in north Kolkata on Monday out of the belief that it will protect people from the coronavirus or cure them in case they have already been infected.
A group of men organised a cow-worship programme at a cowshed at the Jorasanko area and consumed cups of cow urine.
“We believe that consuming cow urine would further strengthen our immunity and protect us from the coronavirus,” one of the organisers said.
Depends on their immune system, by the end of 14-15 days the body should ideally flush out the virus. Of course everyone is different so x number of people will be fine & y number’s condition will get worse, again depending on their immune system & what they’re doing in that period. Remember stress & lack of sleep will weaken your immune system so being healthy & staying healthy is essential if you want to survive the infection → whether you have early symptoms or not. The fatality rate of confirmed cases is close to 4% which is frankly really bad for anything this contagious, my advise stay healthy & be happy. You can also get secondary diseases like pneumonia, but one would have to think that most people who are well off & can afford decent healthcare will take enough precautions that it doesn’t get to that.
Fantastic breakthrough by German scientists, just published in Cell and today corroborated in PNASc that CoVID19 employs human TMPRSS2 protein for entry. Existing anti-TMPRSS2 drug Camostat (+E-64d) blocked CoVID19 infection. It is apparently made by Sun Pharma in India and sold as Camopan.

One person has been confirmed dead in Mumbai. The person had multiple health complications apart from being infected by COVID-19, reports TIMES NOW
Coronavirus latest updates: 64-year-old patient passes away at Mumbai’s Kasturba hospital, toll rises to 3 in India
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/coron...
He is the one who was 1st positive case in Mumbai from Ghatkopar.
So far, we have 3 deaths so far. Not alarming at the moment, but seriously people need to stay at home and stay away from elders as they are more prone to the diseases and please wear mask or use sanitizer. You are prone to kill the elder without knowing.
Soon after the 66-year-old singer Anup Jalota landed at the Mumbai International airport at 4 AM on Tuesday, he was taken straight to Miraj hotel, which is nearby airport and has been kept in a complete isolation.

These anti-bacterial claims aren’t recognised worldwide but there is no proof against it as well. Just like homeopathy doesn’t have very much scientific backing but it sure is effective for treating diseases!

The virus is already here because only those who have symptoms are being screened and quarantined. But those people who don’t show symptoms with the virus are freely passing it on to everyone.
Central Railway and Western Railway increase price of platform ticket to Rs 50 from Rs 10 to prevent crowding at railway stations. — PTI
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray speaks on the coronavirus outbreak in the state:
“Public transport in Mumbai to remain open; no closure of government offices
“However, we will have to take harsh decision of shutting down train, bus services if people don’t refrain from non-essential travel.
“We are working on allowing functioning of government offices with 50 per cent strength
Total confirmed cases are 40 in maharashtra as per latest news.
20 to 25 more cases are enough to close everything in Pune and Mumbai.
government is trying hard to restrict the confirmed cases below 100.
Anything above 100 is alarming.
One small question- whether sanitiser should be used when going outside or when coming back to home?
On the way and after coming back
Complaint filed against Chinese President Xi Jinping for spreading Coronavirus, Bihar Court to hear on March 24 
Can Corona pass on via Currency Notes Exchanging? Saw a video last night where some Saudi people demonstrating how it is being passed on, and it was being passed on by File Folder as well. If this is true, then we all definitely at much larger risk.
Whichever can act as a carrier of the infected person droplet is a transmitter,
Avoid touching eyes, nose, ears, mouth, etc after touching any currency or any thing. Wash hands for 20-30 seconds with soap.
This is the best we can do to protect ourselves and near dear

@topgear : There is definitely some conspiracy by someone, all this is not natural (think bio warfare). This thing spreads by breathing also, not only sneezing, else so many would not have got infected.
Also, Trump tested negative today, even after an aide whom he was in touch with tested positive. How is that possible, specially considering Trump is old.
