Long video but worth watching.

Xi has gone from handling COVID-19 as a health crisis to a security crisis. His power is in jeopardy.
Hong Kong doctor who specialized in dealing with the SARS epidemic speculates that 60% of the world population will catch COVID-19 with at least a 1% mortality rate world wide.
The 1918 flu had an RO of less than two and circulated the globe three times. COVID-19 could have an RO of four to six.
The virus is not going to be stopped by a vaccine. There is still no vaccine for SARS or MERS which are very similar viruses. There will not be a vaccine available within a year as some have speculated.
All eyes should be on Singapore. If the virus can spread rapidly there, it will go global.

Coronavirus Covid-19: Chloroquine data; Japan to trial HIV drug
Early data from clinical trials being performed in China has revealed that chloroquine phosphate could help treat the new coronavirus disease, Covid-19.
China National Center for Biotechnology Development deputy head Sun Yanrong said that chloroquine, an anti-malarial medication, was selected after several screening rounds of thousands of existing drugs.
Xinhua reported that the drug is undergoing clinical trials in more than ten hospitals in Beijing, Guangdong province, and Hunan province.
Data from the drug’s studies showed ‘certain curative effect’ with ‘fairly good efficacy’.
According to Sun, patients treated with chloroquine demonstrated a better drop in fever, improvement of lung CT images, and required a shorter time to recover compared to parallel groups.
The percentage of patients with negative viral nucleic acid tests was also higher with the anti-malarial drug.
Chloroquine has so far showed no obvious serious adverse reactions in the more than 100 participants in the trials.
The China National Center for Biotechnology Development head Zhang Xinmin said that chloroquine is one of the three drugs that have a promising profile against the new coronavirus, reported China Daily.
