Re: Discussion: What are the risks involved with co-infection between H1N1pdm09 and the novel coronavirus?
Although authorities still aren't how this particular virus is spread, they believe that, like other coronaviruses, it could be spread through the air in droplets that are produced when a person coughs or sneezes. Like the flu, it could be highly contagious.:tiphat:http://www.scienceworldreport.com/a...ew-sars-virus-infects-12-globally-british.htm
If dude had both diseases at the same time, and you can't readily tell them apart, then mild cases may be present. Since we don't know which one he caught first, or where, or exactly when, we don't know much. IMO, A new coronavirus may be able to re-assort with camel flu or pig flu or dog flu or maybe a human flu. Either way, get a bunch of people with H1N1, and try to guess which one has the new "SAUDI SARS"Can't do it, or tell how far and fast it is spreading by cough or touch..not to say it won't mutate by itself. Sars #1 did a fine job. We already saw that it can go h2h in Jordan.
They are saying it is hard to spread h2h this week. In 10 days they may be telling us something completely different..
If dude has both, and coughing up some crony in your face, he may give it to you.
Since it is so new and shiny, I wouldn't put anything past it. IF not Swine flu, then what disease will/can mutate with it?? Tell ya what, drop it off in Cambodia or Nam and see what jumps up.:magnify:
