This tragedy will be over soon. I am expecting from next week, will reach the peak and decrease slowly overtime until completely under control by the end of Feb

And also the vaccine will be available by June by China, EU, UK and probably the USA

Obviously this event is very a sad thing!. But it also unites Chinese people greatly, especially after a few countries banned Chinese entering their countries and racial comments, etc , it hurts them greatly.

Chinese will be more prepared in the future (even already one of the most prepared countries in the world)

Wild animal markets will be banned totally, thats a great thing

It also shows many great things China has done (virus DNA, new hospitals, Vaccine, etc, etc) which other countries could only dream of

Imagine if this virus happened in India or Africa or even in the US .... just game over .. and it could happen anytime

According to CNN, the youngest patient of the new coronavirus is only 30 hours old. I worry about their lives, how can such a young infant withstand the deadly virus?

Youngest patient: Two newborn infants are infected in Wuhan, according to China's state broadcaster. The youngest baby was diagnosed just 30 hours after being born to a mother who had also been infected. Experts warn it's unclear how the baby got infected, as there could be various ways it became exposed to the virus.

How do you know the vaccine will be done soon? We're 17 years after Sars and no vaccine. Hope the virus soon will disappear of itself.

WHO downplays reports of ‘breakthrough’ in battle against coronavirus

The World Health Organization (WHO) has dismissed optimistic reports of a breakthrough in creating a vaccine and drugs that are effective against the Wuhan coronavirus.

“There are no known effective therapeutics against this 2019-nCoV (virus) and the WHO recommends enrolment into a randomized controlled trial to test efficacy and safety,”

On Tuesday, Chinese media claimed that researchers at Zhejiang University, not far from Shanghai, allegedly found an effective drug for the virus. Later, the UK’s Sky News reported that researchers made a “significant breakthrough” in developing a vaccine.

The news sparked euphoria on social media and even made oil prices rise.The WHO cautioned, however, that the process of developing and testing a drug or vaccine against the new virus could take months or even years and could be plagued with setbacks.

WHO is probably just being cautious. But let's hope both vaccines and cures can be developed ASAP.

A mother’s sacrifice to serve her chosen profession without fear or prejudice,
contrast this to what some of these nurses are doing in HK. I am humble, can anyone point me to
where I can donate money safely to help fight this virus, cheers.

The baby was infected in the womb via mother. Young children actually have a better chance of surviving the virus since their immune system isn't fully developed yet and won't "over react" fighting off the virus. Many people die because their immune system goes into overdrive.

Not sure if good idea:

I suppose it's for those patients who have a positive diagnosis but with mild symptoms. They likely do not have the choice of going back home with a positive diagnosis.

One of the eight doctors who first reported the outbreak passed away due to complications related to the corona virus. He is survived by his parents and his wife, who is pregnant with his second child. Rest In Peace.
