Why the U.S. thinks quarantining people coming in from China for 3 days is sufficient is beyond me. (At the time this was posted it was 3 days, and has now been increased to 14.)
Even though the likelihood of death is low, must not be fun to get it. Had to visit hospital last year from a particularly nasty respiratory flu, definitely wouldn’t want to go through that again
Ive been eating beef and lamb msucle and organ meats raw. Havent been sick in years and I used to get sick twice a year with flu, cold fever, bronchitis. Not telling you to do the same but Im convinced cooking it ruins the nutrition and antinutrients from plants hinder absorption (eg phytic acid from grains).
@@zorananda That quote is fake. Mark Twain did not even quote it that way. Actually, Mark Twain celebrated it. This supposed quotation, though, misrepresents Twain’s actual thoughts on voting. In a 1905 interview in Boston, he told the press: “In this country, we have one great privilege which they don’t have in other countries. When a thing gets to be absolutely unbearable the people can rise up and throw it off. That’s the finest asset we’ve got - the ballot box.” www.twainquotes.com/interviews/Interview6Nov1905.html
Actually in Germany there are three cases in which the patients where tested positive of Coronavirus and don't show any symptoms! (Only the fourth one they had contact with!) ... Which is very alarming ...
Exactly! And the fourth guy was infected by a chinese woman who visited to hold a seminar. She did not show symptoms until she travelled back to China. So it has to be infectious before symptoms emerge. Currently there are 90 people quarantined in Germany who were exposed to either the chinese woman or the guy she infected. His workplace has also shut down in the meantime.
Cory Burns it’s not false. It’s confirmed by doctors and minister of health in Germany. Also: the Chinese Woman showed also no symptoms prior to her departure back to China.

If you get heart damage as a result of a nCoV infection it will have long term impacts upon your capacity to work, so it’s very important for vulnerable mature workers to take measures to prevent infection.
Australia is being criticised for quarantine at Christmas Island for two weeks, 1500km from the main land.. Australia good decision. Maybe too late though..
Peter Childs but they are still letting flights from China in everyday 🤦🏻♀️ One lady said she came from Whuhan but via Singapore & cause she came in from Singapore no one was checking/testing that flight.
@@jot965 Our leaders are idiots. They allowed a plane from Wuhan to land in Sydney on the 23rd, a day or two after this disease was announced to the world. These passengers weren't quarantined and now we have our first cases of this disease. I would say they're only doing this now to make themselves look better.
@Elaine Simons. I'm from USA and agree with you wholeheartedly. 20 second minimum hand wash time is important. And cover that damn cough. CDC official said better to cough into your arm, inside of elbow, than onto your hand and spread germs when touching things
Definitely one of the best viral and immune response videos but lacking a lot of knowledge of the novel virus itself. Nice video, but I guess it's too early to see what I want to see..
Doctor you have made me feel so much better about this, understanding the science behind this is so important. As a person with severe asthma this whole situation is terrifying.
Sometimes we can forget how powerful our bodies are in fighting off infection. It's easy to get freaked out by news reports talking about disease and death from viruses.
Thank you so much for your time and efforts! I am learning more about this virus than from the news! 🇺🇸.I am a nursing student and your teaching is helping me pass my courses😊
Dr. John Campbell is an excellent example of why America is 37th in the World for healthcare. We are not being progressive, proactive or truthful with our citizens. America prefers to keep her citizens in the dark like the stone ages. Thank goodness for channels like this that tells the truth and in an understandable way.
Chinese residents are saying the crematoriums are running 24/7. For the amount of crematoriums they have burning non stop, it averages to about 100-200 deaths per day. And that's not including the people dying in their home unaccounted for after being barricaded in their own home by police/military
Heres a thread concerning the crematoriums (non chinese speakers will have to use a translator) mobile.twitter.com/fiteray/status/1222467359018893313 Heres a video of people being barricaded in by government mobile.twitter.com/kenji_tokyo2007/status/1222241897638313984 And heres a close up picture of the hospital rooms they are building (check China livestream to confirm yourself.) When was the last time you saw a hospital like this with barred windows and doors that lock from the outside? ibb.co/Gdzw2TT
I really hope the health institutions of the world are full of people like you, and not full of burocrats and politics with no clue about stopping pandemias...
@@godhelpme737 Why do you say that? There are only 8,000 cases in a world population of 7.7 billion. "Could" is not a fact. This has been going on since December. Even if the Chinese are lying the proof would be dead bodies lying in the streets all over the world. That's what happened during the Black Death.
@Deep Space Traveler I think where they're getting at is that 75% could get it and out of that anyone could die from it. I want real numbers for an actual mortality rate. I don't trust China's numbers.
Unfortunately a lot of people are on pharmaceuticals that diminish their immune system ie statins plus stress, poor diet etc etc. Great info here. I first tweeted about coronavirus December 8th. The barn doors closed long after the horses bolted. Be safe everyone esp city dwellers. Cheers.
@Etu Nimi I'll bet that's Pure fiction. Unless you are in possession of the gene sequence of both 2019-nCov AND this imaginary "patent" it's just assertion without evidence. RU-vid videos are not evidence.
I had a sneezing episode during a nosebleed not long ago. I was cleaning up blood 8-10 feet away from where I was sitting 😱 I was absolutely shocked at how far droplets from a sneeze can travel.
SARS was initially reported as 3-4% death rate and ended up being close to 10%. This is because the deaths of the current infected haven't happened yet.
Yes, they look at today’s infection numbers and calculate a death % of that but they should calculate it from the numbers of infected 2 weeks ago when today’s dead got infected, and then the numbers would be a lot higher as %. It’s going to change society , the economic shock will be incredible. China is the global factory. If goods don’t get made and people don’t move around the economies will go into freefall
I had swine flu back in 2009 I thought I was going to die waking up in middle of the night couldn't breathe coughing up flem and mucus for a month even after I felt better.
I got H1N1. I literally could not get out of bed. Felt like I was going to die. That was about 10 years ago. Turned into pneumonia. My kids got it too. It went to pneumonia symptoms after the first two weeks in all of us. We did 1000mg of vitamin C every ten minutes the minute our lungs started making breathing difficult. Cleared it up in an hour. I have influenza A right now and it causes fatigue and a cough that is hard to shake. Still fatigued three weeks later.
Tis is THE talk or video every medical and semi medical personnel who are preparing or currently handling this situation in their respective countries should watch !
It's those that already have lung damage and scar tissue. Their lungs aren't elastic and this kind of infection could pose a serious problem. Those that tend to get aspergillus as a result of pitted lungs from previous damage are also at risk of more serious outcomes and those that recently had lunch surgery and are on retroviral medicine to fight rejection. Lung patients are likely concerned as they're already high risk. We're not even yet talking about the HIV patients prone to an aggressive form of MAC. Asthmatics also and the elderly. It all depends on how hard your immune system can withstand the storm then launch an offensive. Intensive care will be overrun. So glad you're out here providing this info. Thank you sir.
Dr. Campbell you are an AMAZING teacher! I so appreciate how you teach and your patience in explaining technical terms, etc., so carefully and thoughtfully. You are a treasure. :) Thank you very much!!

Hello, I am a high school student in Taiwan. As you may know, Taiwan is unfortunately invaded by the virus, yet due to political reasons, we are sadly excluded from the WHO meetings. We are on the first line of defending the the virus, if we do not receive the latest information, it will be exceedingly difficult for us to tackle the problem. To be honest, it is a quite terrible and horrifying time now. Whenever I watch the news, there are new cases daily. I hope we can all unite and overcome the virus. Stay safe and God bless
This was the best education in regards to Coronavirus I’ve seen obviously delivered by a good doctor or a professor at a medical school level. Thank you sir for the post.
I think I learned more from Dr. John Campbell in two days of watching his videos than in my years at school. Thank you so much for top rate content sir.
= @@Campbellteaching = My question is - Why can't they take blood samples from people that have recovered and give that to people who are sick, and then the sick people are getting the anti-bodies from the blood sample injection ??
Who should I blame now? Is it me, my textbooks, my instructors or my imaginative faculties for all that I missed in 16 weeks of microbiology and 4 weeks of immunology? I wasn't just watching the video about the nCoV, I was pausing the video and pondering to connect all the important dots I missed and struggled with till this last minute of clearer and better understanding and will never ever forget again. 20 MINUTES WORTH MORE THAN 20 WEEKS! Thank you so much Dr. Campbell.
Death rate may be higher since it takes days for people to die so I would think you would compare death rate with number of people infected a few days ago. What is more concerning is the 20% complication rate.
Al Katawazi agree. It’s the complication rate that concerns me the most. At one point it looked like 20% severe and 5% critical. It’s too soon to know what the actual figures but the spread rate is def concerning. Containment is the only way we can ‘win’ this battle.
That fact u need one of those special beds to take care of someone ”ebu” I think it's called that. Are limited and I think the United States has a majority filled?
@@josephpa05 Yes, there's not enough. And there's not enough quarantined beds from my understanding as well. It is "ICU". Not sure what they're going to do.
It could be higher due to the reasons you stated. But it could also be lower, since it's also possible that a lot of people who had it could have just thought they had a cold and didn't even go to the hospital and nobody outside of China has died yet.
Its 21 countries now, I wonder what will happen in the next following days. I'm quite scared of this virus, what if it becomes the next Spanish Influenza? 😥😥😭
Just popped up on a cruise ship filled with 6000 people. Chinese couple came down with symptoms...it's almsot like it hasn't even gotten warmed up yet.
Just today Philippines is confirmed to be one of those countries... Its saddening that our government isnt doing anything to prevent travels from wuhan china..
lets say the virus takes 1 week from reported infection to reported death, then youd have divide the total deaths now with the number of infected from 1week ago. that makes the fatality rate much, much higher at around *15-25 %*.
Proud to be British at this moment. It is so refreshing to learn something from a well educated person with a sensible non excited way to make a video. No hysteria just the facts..
I'm currently studying to take a nursing school entrance exam. Meanwhile, I am also interested in this Coronavirus as a normal person who loves infectious disease pathways. Not only is this video helpful for my studies, but it's also really interesting to see how this new virus can spread. Great video!
Yes! You are Really! a fantastic teacher! The way you describe, your knowledge and the wording and details used are just Great! Thank you so much for helping us understand this important subject! Best! David, Sweden
As of 30 Jan, good quality patient care may be keeping the present cohort of patients alive longer. As with SARS, it may turn out that deaths may occur after weeks or months. Survivors of SARS reported severe long-term fatigue symptoms were a major problem for some 40% of SARS patients, lasting years. If the disease were to spread rapidly, large numbers of those who are at present keeping patients alive might be worn out and debilitated or even infected and unable to perform their specialised tasks. The demand for oxygen, mechanical ventilation (and experts to operate it and nurse / treat the patients) would be overwhelmed. Spread of significant illnesses like this can threaten the functioning of a modern society in new ways. Without the small number of qualified skilled operators, who would run the power stations, water treatment plants etc? Just-in-time delivery systems would fail rapidly, as we rely on a small number of truck drivers to deliver huge quantities of food to shop shelves. A lot of fresh produce is stored not in warehouses but in the refrigerated trucks that are constantly on the road from distant farms. Without them, we would be in trouble. Even the fear of the illness on its own poses a risk for society, with the possibility of unrest and dissent. In any country with a repressive regime or with limited resources, there is a big risk of societal breakdown.
Really enjoying your videos and information. Thank you for your service to the public, people need to know these things in order to protect themselves. Even if ncov wasnt relevant right now i know i would still find your content fascinating as it is so well explained. Thank you and stay safe
The death rate, you take todays deaths and go back 2 weeks for those infected at that time for the disease to take its course. Two weeks ago the infection rate was 1000 and todays deaths are 170, so about 17% death rate.
Question - How can a Mortality Rate comparison be made between SARS and current NoroVirus. Looks.like the SARS rate was known only when the disease ended. Current NoroVirus has not ended. I think the mortality rate cannot be know at this point in time. I'm curious about that, just asking...
Thanks for this amazing teaching about the disease. Unfortunately there are 9 suspect cases here in Brazil. Hopefully they'll not be confirmed. But I'm already searching for info about coronavirus.
I thank you Sir, for such an in-depth and easy to understand explanation. I have learnt a lot from your video that I never knew about viruses and infections. Very interesting and I appreciate your time and expertise explaining this to us all.
Thank you for the videos John, thankfully in the UK (Northern Ireland for me) we haven’t seen this yet, though I suspect we will soon. I saw many asian students with face masks today, might stock up on a few incase it gets here. Very informative video once again!
You have complete data of SARS to do a mortality rate. It takes a few days for confirmed patients to die, so a more accurate figure is take today’s death toll and compared that to the total number of confirmed cases a few days ago..
Confirmed cases vs. deaths isn't the mortality rate, cured cases vs. deaths is mortality rate. It's a 60% mortality rate right now according to the data available.
@Bill Whittaker the disease statistics are very odd right now, Hard to interpret anything without more data but it's tracking cured vs deaths at 60%, we will see a better picture as more data comes in.
Dr John, any insight into the extended virality(shelf life) of the virus. I was under the impression that "standard" virus typically die out ~24hrs outside the host.
@@johnnorris1615 One more? Any info for disinfecting for this particular virus. Based on its structure. Bleach/IPA/Ammonia/Peroxide? I found something called DisCide Ultra which is supposed to work on virus such as Ebola. Thx very much MJ
@@mikejohnson9118 2 parts bleach to 8 parts water. the bleach wont work well by itself, and that ratio is not too hard on skin either. peroxide no, i have no idea what ammonia does, bleach is best as far as i have seen good luck, and all the best from alaska btw peroxide is only for existing bacterial infection . do not use it on fresh would as it inhibits capillary regeneration. iodine is also not for an open wound, only to clean in preparation for incision.
@@johnnorris1615 It was aimed at general use in a spray bottle and for hands. I try to clean up when coming home from shopping/outside contact. I have been using a water/soap/IPA mix for this. Did this before CV. But was concerned due to "seemingly" tougher? more persistent CV. Thx again MJ
@@mikejohnson9118 my pleasure and remember if you feel ill do not go to hospital call in stay hydrated, it might just be regular flu hospital is worst place to go now. rock on !
Yes, that would make more sense. Everyone is calculating mortaility rate wrong. They divide number of deaths with number of infected but forget it's not something that was in the past and is over now (like SARS), it's ongoing and every day number of infected increases significantly. The correct way to calculate the mortality rate would be to divide current number of deaths with number of infected as it was N days ago. That would equal 15-20% which is more realistic than 2-3% seen all over the media.
@@____Neo I thought about that calculation which is very bleak but that falls down on two points as well, 1) I think it might be reasonable to assume that it takes people longer to completely recover than die 2) it's far more likely for cases to be understated than deaths since people who aren't that ill won't even go to the hospital and if they do and there are limited beds they are probably sent away and told to self-quarantine rather than being tested.
I question those higher mortality rates. Every website I looked reported that the SARS infection had close to a 10 % mortality while the official numbers of the coronavirus indicate that while the total number infected almost the 7700 infected from SARS that has come in just 2 months much faster then the SARS outbreak the mortality is 170 which is about 2.2 %. This could increase of course, but claims of a higher mortality rate like in Hong Kong may be hearsay. The numbers may be much higher, but without evidence for it is pure speculation. The coronavirus is expanding much faster then SARS did because it has a longer incubation period 14 to 10 days. And it appears to be transmissable from asymptomatic carriers. That does not necessarily translate to a higher mortality rate.
@@____Neo That is not at all how mortality is determined. The number of infected people is now at 7,700 people and those 171 who died is 2.2 % of the number infected.
