Re: Wuhan Coronavirus Resource Thread

What is the forum's opinion on the mass movement of migrant laborers? I am hoping it is a storm in a teacup because community transmission hasn't (hopefully) taken off I think it is a huge risk factor and can push India into Italy-zone. Modi directly appealed to these folks, asking them to stay whe...

Re: Wuhan Coronavirus Resource Thread

Vijayk, the study you quote has been seriously questioned if not debunked a couple of days ago, IIRC there was a TOI article on this. As per French Govt advisory they identified just 2 strains, L & S. S being more virulent.

Re: Wuhan Coronavirus Resource Thread
