Yesterday BizPacReview<\/a> posted an article about a report by the New England Journal of Medicine about the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The report<\/a>, published Friday and authored by\u00a0Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., H. Clifford Lane, M.D., and Robert R. Redfield, M.D., notes that there are no known cases of children younger than 15 being infected with the\u00a0respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fauci, a member of President Trump\u2019s coronavirus task force, joined the experts from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to pen the editorial citing a study which \u201cdetailed clinical and epidemiologic description of the first 425 cases reported in the epicenter of the outbreak.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe median age of the patients was 59 years, with higher morbidity and mortality among the elderly and among those with coexisting conditions (similar to the situation with influenza); 56% of the patients were male,\u201d the article stated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOf note, there were no cases in children younger than 15 years of age,\u201d the piece continued. \u201cEither children are less likely to become infected, which would have important epidemiologic implications, or their symptoms were so mild that their infection escaped detection, which has implications for the size of the denominator of total community infections.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The editorial went on to note the percentage of identified cases and that the contagious virus may \u201cultimately be more akin\u201d to a case of influenza.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Much of the information the mainstream media is providing on the coronavirus is simply false. The President’s task force has been working to contain the virus since January. Preventing people traveling from China to America from entering the country has probably avoided a serious epidemic. Think of the tourists in our major cities that might have been carrying the virus if the travel ban had not been in place.<\/p>\n

This is essentially another flu. We need to wash our hands, take care of ourselves, avoid people who are sneezing and coughing, stay home when we are sick, and generally exercise common sense. Chicken soup is also a wonderful idea if you are feeling under the weather.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, stay safe and stay healthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
