Dear Friends

I have come across some data which I thought I must bring to your notice! Please go through this link below and take care!

As of February19, 2020:

(1) 2000 Deaths and 75000 confirmed cases approx .

(2) Country wise break up is given in the link

(3) After China, Diamond princess ship is most affected with maximum confirmed cases -what could be the reason?

(4) 10.5% of Casualities due to Corona already had CV disease

(5) 7.3 % of Casualities due to Corona were diabetes and another 6% of causalities due to Corona already had hypertension

(6) Other Casualities due to corona already had some pre- existing disease such as respiratory infection and Cancer : please see the link for break up.

(7) only 0.1% Casualities of Corona did not have any pre-existing disease

(8) Most of the people who died were aged 70-80 years.

(9) Which means Corona seems to have attacked and killed only Aged and sick people and spared the healthy and young ones ???☹️ May be aged and sick people like Diabetes, CV, Hypertension are at great risk for Corona due to impaired immunity !

(10) Corona has spared the infants. No fatalities in age group 0-9 years

(11) Corona virus is also seen outside china and there were affected people who never visited china nor did they mix with anyone who had visited china.. Corona seems to be spreading from some well known birds and animals ????

Hello,

I have been following this very closely, this is because of my delay in travel to Sri Lanka!

I find it very difficult to accept and understand the cruse ship saga!!!!

Why is it the UK government is checking arrivals of people from far east, china and other places and do double check.

There was a prison and now a police station in the news.

Is it difficult to do filtering of travellers?

Very interesting and important information. It’s sad to see so many people are getting sick, but it’s going to take some time to get everyone taken care of and treated.

Please Google Wuhan-400, you can read very interesting information!!

As per one observation old people and others whose immunity is rather low are likely to be attacked by corona virus ,All diabetics should be extra careful in taking extra caution in eating out side junk food .
