The genetic code is (nearly) universal With some minor exceptions, all living organisms on Earth use the same genetic code. This means that the codons specifying the 20 amino acids in your cells are the same as those used by the bacteria inhabiting hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. I guess it makes reincarnation easier though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 China finally getting a bit closer to reality in how they count new infections, thus causing a spike in the number of new cases for the day. China records over 14,800 new coronavirus infections in one day Yesterday Chinese officials broadened their definition of what constitutes a confirmed coronavirus case, to include "clinically diagnosed cases" -- i.e. people diagnosed on the basis of their symptoms rather than testing positive. This has led to a huge spike in the number of cases reported -- 14,840 in just one day. But this kind of tweaked definition is "normal," said the World Health Organization. “It’s normal during the course of an outbreak to adapt the case definition,” said Sylvie Briand, director of the WHO's Infectious Hazards Management Department, on Wednesday. “When the situation is evolving, you change your definition just to make sure you can monitor the disease accurately, and this is what they have done recently -- change the case definition to incorporate more cases that were not in the initial case definition, but also integrate cases that are both asymptomatic or with little symptom." The global number of confirmed coronavirus cases now exceeds 60,015 -- the vast majority in mainland China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they going in panic mode (having seen local political heads roll) or is this virus really spreading out of control ? I mean Shanghai is 24 M people, 3 times N.Y. population ! How you lock that up ? Or fake news ? The restaurant closure thing is happening in other cities as well, source is SCMP which, even politically influenced, should be reliable on this.

They weren`t confirmed to have it, they were just being tested, not heard anything since they we can assume they are clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
