Good. SARS and MERS ruled out. An increase to 59 cases, but all cases with onset before December 29. I hope they are still testing for things other than viruses, and I hope we get an explanation for what now appears to be a false-positive for SARS. This looks like a single, perhaps ongoing, mass exposure.

Singapore's Ministry of Health: Chinese girl confirmed to be unrelated to unknown pneumonia
Unknown viral pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan, the Ministry of Health of Singapore announced that earlier suspected cases of Chinese girls have been confirmed to have nothing to do with Wuhan pneumonia. As of 3 pm today, no new suspicious cases of Wuhan viral pneumonia have appeared in Singapore.
The Ministry of Health of Singapore said that yesterday ’s epidemiological survey, clinical evaluation and laboratory results showed that a 3-year-old Chinese girl who had been to Wuhan has been confirmed to have nothing to do with Wuhan pneumonia. (MERS) was also negative. The girl was infected with respiratory syncytial virus, which is common in children with respiratory infections.
Here is the English announcement from the Singapore Health Ministry:
https://www.moh.gov.sg/news-highligh...in-wuhan-5-jan
5TH JAN 2020 UPDATE
As of 3pm, 5 January 2020, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has not been notified of any new suspect cases.
Epidemiological investigations, clinical assessment and laboratory test results from the suspect case reported on 4 January 2020 involving a 3 year-old female Chinese national with pneumonia and travel history to Wuhan have found that the case is not linked to the pneumonia cluster in Wuhan. The case has also tested negative for SARS and MERS-CoV. The cause of her pneumonia is Respiratory Syncytial Virus, a common cause for childhood respiratory infection.
As medical practitioners are on the lookout for cases with pneumonia who have recently returned from Wuhan, Singapore is likely to see more suspect cases that will need to be investigated for possible links to the Wuhan cluster. MOH will continue to monitor the situation closely. We urge the public to remain vigilant and to adopt good personal hygiene practices at all times. Travellers to Wuhan should monitor their health closely and seek medical attention promptly if they feel unwell, and also inform their doctor of their travel history.

[Wuhan pneumonia] He Bailiang expects that the virus has been latent in patients in early December.
Society 22:28 2020/01/05
The number of unexplained pneumonia cases in Wuhan City of Hubei Province has increased. The Wuhan Municipal Health and Health Committee recently notified that as of 8:00 tonight (59th), 59 cases have appeared, of which 7 are in serious condition and no deaths. Some of the patients are in South China Wuhan Seafood City operator. Some experts believe that the virus has lurked in the patients of the first case at the beginning of last month. They also believe that a large number of cases have occurred in a short period of time, and it is expected that the South China Seafood City has "super spread".
He Bailiang, director of the Center for Infection and Infectious Diseases of the University of Hong Kong, believes that only 24 days have elapsed since the first case broke out last month. There have been 59 cases, and most of them are related to South China Seafood City. The situation of "super spread" and even "super spreaders" is similar to the pattern of transmission of SARS's 8A Ward and Amoy Gardens in 2003. It is expected that the incident will continue to develop.
First case expected to be infected in early December
How to take the coronavirus incubation period of SARS and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome as an example, it is estimated that most of the incubation period is within one week. He believes that the first suspected animal-to-human incident should occur between the first week of December and the beginning of the second week.
He pointed out that the mainland authorities are still conducting further virus identification and believe that it is likely that they have grasped the initial clues and are in the process of confirmation. In the case of newly emerging infectious disease viruses, according to international practice, two high-standard laboratories are required to independently test the same results. Is it appropriate to announce that the virus is the causative agent of this outbreak.
Looking for a quick test of viral gene map design
He hopes that the Mainland will adopt a more transparent approach, issue more epidemiological information on 59 cases, and release the genetic map of the virus as soon as possible once the virus is confirmed. He pointed out that the map can be used to design rapid tests to detect a large number of suspected cases.
He suggested that the public should start immediately. Improving personal hygiene measures is believed to be an effective way to prevent illness, including wearing surgical masks in hospitals and many places. In addition, it is not ruled out that new viruses are suspected of being transmitted by animals. People should avoid visiting mainland hospitals and wet markets. , Especially places where game and wildlife are sold.

Wuhan "viral pneumonia" patients mostly work for merchants in South China seafood market
:tiphat:A long story on 6 different patients and their onsets dates and conditions and symptoms
2020-01-05
On January 2 and 3, in order to understand the daily work and diagnosis of patients, China Business News The reporter Bingfenduo stationed in the South Building of the Inpatient Department of Jinyintan Hospital (Wuhan Medical Treatment Center) and had at least 6 families of isolated patients who came to the 4th and 6th floors to get a lot of first-hand information.
At the end of 2019, an "unknown viral pneumonia" epidemic in Wuhan was touching.
Wuhan South China Seafood Wholesale Market, which was the earliest found and concentrated case of patients with "unknown cause of viral pneumonia" diagnosis, has been closed on the early morning of January 1, 2020 for environmental sanitation.
According to an official report by the Wuhan Health and Medical Commission on January 3, an epidemiological investigation revealed that some of the cases were merchants operating in South China Seafood Wholesale City. No clear evidence of human-to-human transmission was found, and no medical staff infection was found.
The market is located in the downtown area of Hankou, Wuhan. It has been in business for more than 15 years, and its low and messy image contrasts with the high-rise buildings around Hankou Railway Station. The South China Seafood Wholesale Market has a total construction area of 50,000 square meters. It is the largest aquatic products wholesale market in central China. It is a seafood wholesale market that integrates seafood, chilled fish, aquatic products, and dry goods. It has more than 1,000 operating booths. The market is divided into east and west districts, separated by Xinhua Road.
The west district is mainly engaged in seafood and aquatic products, while the east district is dominated by poultry, shrimp and fresh seasonings.
Inside the market, mostly east-west cross streets are named, followed by east district first street and west district first street. "China Business Daily" reporters have repeatedly penetrated the market to see that the internal operating environment is forced, and each shop has an area of less than 10 square meters. Because the market is mainly seafood and chilled, although the market will be disinfected regularly, the interior is slippery and dark, and the sanitary situation is not optimistic.
South China Seafood Wholesale City operates merchants and migrant workers. This originally ordinary group has recently received unprecedented attention. What kind of work and daily life do they have? How will they be resettled after the market closes? What kind of disease and treatment process did they experience? On January 2 and 3, in order to understand the daily work and diagnosis of patients, China Business News The reporter Bingfenduo stationed in the South Building of the Inpatient Department of Jinyintan Hospital (Wuhan Medical Treatment Center) and had at least 6 families of isolated patients who came to the 4th and 6th floors to get a lot of first-hand information.
I. Sister Wang (hereinafter referred to as "Sister Wang"):
My brother works at a stall that sells frozen products. The monthly salary is 5,000 yuan.
It is understood that the sister Wang family is from the Northeast and has been in Wuhan for more than 20 years. My brother works at a stall in Wuhan South China Seafood Wholesale Market that sells frozen products such as chicken, duck and fish. He goes to work at 3 a.m. every day, purchases from the Wuhan Baishazhou Agricultural and Sideline Products Market, and then ships it to the South China Seafood Wholesale Market for sale. In the evening Get off at 5:30.
"My younger brother works in the seafood market. He earns 5,000 yuan a month and works more than 12 hours a day." Sister Wang told a reporter from China Business Daily that her younger brother's job is to handle frozen products every day, and her hands have become a bit stiff. Numb. "My brother's working environment is not optimistic. The market is dirty all year round. I cover my nose every time I go, but even so, the market ’s passenger traffic is still considerable because the price is cheap."
Sister Wang said that her younger brother was transferred from Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology to Jinyintan Hospital at 2pm on December 31, 2019, and was admitted to the fourth floor of the South Building of the hospital's inpatient department. Whenever a patient transfers from another hospital to Jinyintan Hospital, the medical staff will ask "Is it a merchant in the South China Seafood Market" or have you ever visited the market and eaten seafood?
According to Sister Wang, her brother started to have fever symptoms on December 16 or 17, 2019, and after staying at home for “8 days”, she was admitted to Wuhan No. 6 Hospital because of a persistent high fever of about 40 degrees Celsius. "I was admitted to the hospital on December 24, 2019. On the day of the doctor's CT scan, I found that my brother's lungs had white shadows of nearly 1/3 area. On December 27, the area of white shadows spread to 2/3, and we were immediately asked. Transfer to hospital. "Sister Wang told reporters.
Sister Wang said that now her brother is taking 7 bottles of medicines, including albumin and other drugs, at Jinyintan Hospital. On January 3, 2020, in addition to carrying items to her brother and the patient next door, Sister Wang also paid 10,000 yuan in advance to Jinyintan Hospital, and in the previous three days, she had spent a total of 4,000 at Jinyintan Hospital. yuan. Up to now, plus the previous treatment expenses, the Wang family spends about 43,000 yuan.
"My brother is 44 years old and has been renting a house in Wuhan." Sister Wang told reporters, "Now my brother has no money to treat the illness. It is our two sisters who are helping to collect money." According to his understanding, the patients admitted to Jinyintan Hospital Most of them worked hard, and many people tried their best to borrow money for medical treatment.
Second, the seafood market merchant Huang surname (Hua) surname:
Husband wife in the Eastern market selling pork has more than thirty years
At Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, Mr. Huang told China Business Daily that her husband is 52 years old. Both husband and wife are working in the South China Seafood Wholesale Market and selling pork non-staple food products in the Eastern District.
"We have been in the meat wholesale business for a lifetime, and it has been more than 30 years. In recent years, we have been in the South China Seafood Wholesale Market." Said Mr. Huang.
The market was closed and her husband was hospitalized, but Mr. Huang did not stop working. She could only go to the hospital to learn about her husband's illness, deliver meals or daily supplies. "After the market was closed and some markets were closed, some of the goods from the business owners inside could not get out. I got up at 12 o'clock in the evening to pick up the goods outside and then send them to the hotel." Mr. Huang told reporters that many merchants in the market Many customers have accumulated over the years.
During the exchange, the reporter saw that Mr. Huang's hand was rough, and his fingers were frozen very red and swollen.
"My husband was transferred from another hospital to Jinyintan Hospital on December 31, 2019. The fever was not very serious before, more than 38 degrees, but the symptoms have not improved. After transferring to Jinyintan Hospital, he still has a fever. Mrs. Huang said.
According to Mr. Huang, her husband started to have symptoms of a cold and fever around December 25, 2019, and it has been more than a week now. At that time, I went to the Wuhan Central Hospital nearest to the South China Seafood Wholesale Market. I went to see that there was no hospitalization. Medical staff heard that the merchants in the seafood market suggested that we go directly to Jinyintan Hospital.
"When my husband first came, he lived on the 6th floor. When I heard that he was a merchant in the South China Seafood Wholesale Market, he moved to the fourth floor." Mr. Huang told reporters that most of the merchant patients in the South China Seafood Wholesale Market live in the fourth floor floor. After three days, the hospital paid 6,000 yuan in advance for hospitalization.
According to its introduction, patients in the South China Seafood Wholesale Market are mainly from the Western District, and less from the Eastern District. The Western District mainly sells seafood, chicken, duck and poultry frozen products, while the Eastern District sells more pork. "The goods in the market are the same in all parts of the country, and they are common in all parts of the country." Mrs. Huang said, "We are not sure whether the illness is related to the goods."

An outbreak of pneumonia of unknown cause occurred in Wuhan in the Mainland, and a girl from the Chinese University of Hong Kong also visited Wuhan and later developed fever, respiratory infections or pneumonia. A 20-year-old female student developed fever and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection after returning to Hong Kong from Wuhan. She went to Ren'an Hospital for treatment and was refused. She was eventually sent to a public hospital. It is reported that she lived in the Bethlehem dormitory (Bosu) of United College, and the students were heartbroken and worried that the epidemic would break out. They wore masks to prevent the epidemic, and some students bought multiple N95 masks. Some students said that because many mainland students lived in Bosu and adjacent dormitories, they feared that they would be infected after returning to the mainland and spread inside the school. Therefore, students and workers have put on masks in the past few days. Some mainland students said they were not worried about the outbreak of pneumonia, and thought that the school would do a good job of cleaning and disinfection.

The male surname Li and the female surname Zheng wore masks at Bethlehem's dormitory to understand the situation. They stated that they had begun to wear masks after learning of suspected cases in Hong Kong in the past few days. There were more mainland students in Bethlehem's dormitory and they were worried about them. They can be infected, so everyone wears a mask to protect themselves. The students and co-workers of Bethlehem's dormitory and its adjacent dormitories have all put on masks. "They are worried that there are more mainland students and it is more difficult to track down and go to Wuhan." They said they had not received a reminder from the school to strengthen the awareness of epidemic prevention.
Another student Ye said that after learning that a female student in the dormitory had a fever in Wuhan, a hospital person went to the dormitory and the female student was sent to the hospital. He was worried about an outbreak, so he had prepared a large number of N95 masks, but he did not see the school disinfection and cleaning. He pointed out that he lived on a different floor from the female student, and no cleaning was planned.
Lin, who lives in Bosu, pointed out that because tomorrow is the beginning of the semester, he will return to the dormitory to prepare. He said that the female students suspected of having a fever lived on the fifth floor, and the student group said that those in protective clothing had gone to the fifth floor to clean. Since there are many mainland students living in the dormitory, I am worried that some students will get sick in the Mainland and spread in the dormitory. He pointed out that only masks could be used for prevention.
Chen from Shanghai said that he thinks the school will do the disinfection well and do n’t worry about the outbreak of pneumonia, and he will step up his cleaning. "I think it ’s not an abnormal thing if there is any (someone infected), because there may be some students from Wuhan Come accidentally with pneumonia. "But he believes the school will clean and disinfect.

The male surname Li and the female surname Zheng wore masks at Bethlehem's dormitory to understand the situation. They stated that they had begun to wear masks after learning of suspected cases in Hong Kong in the past few days. There were more mainland students in Bethlehem's dormitory and they were worried about them. They can be infected, so everyone wears a mask to protect themselves. The students and co-workers of Bethlehem's dormitory and its adjacent dormitories have all put on masks. "They are worried that there are more mainland students and it is more difficult to track down and go to Wuhan." They said they had not received a reminder from the school to strengthen the awareness of epidemic prevention.
Another student Ye said that after learning that a female student in the dormitory had a fever in Wuhan, a hospital person went to the dormitory and the female student was sent to the hospital. He was worried about an outbreak, so he had prepared a large number of N95 masks, but he did not see the school disinfection and cleaning. He pointed out that he lived on a different floor from the female student, and no cleaning was planned.
Lin, who lives in Bosu, pointed out that because tomorrow is the beginning of the semester, he will return to the dormitory to prepare. He said that the female students suspected of having a fever lived on the fifth floor, and the student group said that those in protective clothing had gone to the fifth floor to clean. Since there are many mainland students living in the dormitory, I am worried that some students will get sick in the Mainland and spread in the dormitory. He pointed out that only masks could be used for prevention.
Chen from Shanghai said that he thinks the school will do the disinfection well and do n’t worry about the outbreak of pneumonia, and he will step up his cleaning. "I think it ’s not an abnormal thing if there is any (someone infected), because there may be some students from Wuhan Come accidentally with pneumonia. "But he believes the school will clean and disinfect.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong responded to the incident and stated that a student of CUHK returned to Hong Kong on December 29 and felt unwell on January 4. After returning to the dormitory this morning (5), he went out to a private hospital for treatment. He then went to the hospital in Shenzhen to follow up on his own. The student returned to the dormitory in the evening. Accompanied by the ambulance staff, she and her roommates went to a public hospital for further examination.
CUHK stated that the university then cleaned the student's room, residential floor and public places with bleach water in accordance with the guidelines of the CHP to protect the health of the students. It also posted the CHP's health guidelines on the dormitory notice board for students' reference . The dormitory will also provide surgical masks and alcohol hand rubs for residents. If students feel uncomfortable or have concerns, they can go to the University Health Department for examination.

Excerpt:
Sources say a Chinese University student who fell ill on Sunday after visiting Wuhan last month has tested negative for pneumonia, but positive for coronavirus.
The mainland student was sent to Prince of Wales Hospital after showing symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection, raising concerns that she might have caught the mysterious pneumonia that broke out in Wuhan earlier this month.
The university said that as a precaution it had already deployed workers to conduct a thorough cleaning at the dormitory the student stays at.
Many of the students entering and leaving the dormitory building were seen wearing face masks.

[Wuhan Pneumonia] News: Women from Wuhan came to Hong Kong with fever and shadows in their lungs and were discharged last night in violation of medical advice (20:18)
Ruttonjee Hospital (profile picture)
Picture 1-1-Ruttonjee Hospital (Profile picture)
The Hospital Authority informed yesterday (5th) that Ruttonjee Hospital had received a case of fever from a 45-year-old woman who came from Hong Kong to Wuhan yesterday. As of yesterday, the Centre for Health Protection had not released the test results of its samples. The newspaper received information indicating that the woman was a mainlander. She departed from the northeast of the mainland on January 1 and arrived in Wuhan on January 3. She developed fever and coughing on the same day. She arrived in Hong Kong as a tourist on January 4, and January 5 I went to Ruttonjee Hospital to seek medical treatment. She had a fever and severe cough on admission. A lung X-ray examination revealed a shadow on the lower left side of her lungs. Since the woman had been to Wuhan within 14 days, the hospital arranged for her to stay in an isolation ward and report the case to the Health Protection Center .
[20:18] The Hospital Authority replied that the patient had no fever or pneumonia symptoms during his stay in the hospital and was in stable condition. She asked to leave the hospital that night. The hospital considered the clinical situation of the patient and her rapid test was negative for general viruses (including flu). The medical staff also informed the patient about medical advice and risks. After consulting the Department of Health, the hospital provided discharge information to the self-discharged patient.
The Hospital Authority said that public hospitals have always had a rigorous mechanism for receiving patients with symptoms from high-risk areas of infectious diseases, and all medical staff have been reminded that patients should be quarantined as soon as possible in case of suspected cases, and the relevant cases should be notified as soon as possible This will allow the Department of Health to continue to follow up testing, epidemiological tracking and other work related to the prevention of the spread of infectious diseases.
[19:45] The Department of Health responded that Ruttonjee Hospital yesterday notified the Centre for Health Protection of a related case involving a 45-year-old female patient admitted to the hospital. The patient reported symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections since January 4. He had traveled to Wuhan before the onset of the disease but did not visit Wuhan's wet market or seafood market. Later, Ruttonjee Hospital informed the center that the patient requested discharge and was discharged the same night.
As "new infectious diseases of importance to public health" are currently not reportable diseases as specified in Chapter 599 of the Prevention and Control of Diseases Ordinance, patients who suspect a case are unwilling to cooperate (such as refusing to accept isolation or refusal Conducting quarantine inspections), the Department of Health is not in a position to deal with it.
[17:25] The female patient reported that she needed to return to the Shatin Emperor Hotel to take care of her daughter and asked to be discharged. Ruttonjee Hospital responded to the situation by consulting the Department of Health. The Department of Health had no legal basis to issue an isolation order to the patient. Fang finally discharged the female patient from hospital at 11 pm on January 5th and listed it as a "discharge against medical advice" (DAMA) case. At that time, there were no test results of the female patient sample.

Coronavirus but not pneumonia
This one is in Hong Kong, not mainland China. I trust their public health system.
This may be an awkward was of saying that the patient had infection with one of the four known human coronaviruses which are unrelated to SARS or MERS and typically cause only colds in healthy individuals, and not atypical pneumonia.

Director of Wuhan Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Viral pneumonia prevention and control is underway
2020-01-06 22:06:32 Source: China News Network Author: Anonymous Editor: Li Xu
【Abstract】 Aiming at the situation of viral pneumonia of unknown cause in our city, reporters from Changjiang Daily interviewed Li Gang, an expert on disease control and director of Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, on related issues of concern to the masses.
Recently, in response to the unknown cause of viral pneumonia in our city, reporters from the Yangtze River Daily interviewed Li Gang, an expert on disease control and director of the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, on relevant issues of concern to the masses.
Question: Why does Wuhan find "unknown viral pneumonia" this year, and how is it defined as "unknown viral pneumonia"?
Answer: Winter and spring are the seasons when respiratory infections are high. Since the beginning of winter and spring, Wuhan medical and health institutions have further strengthened surveillance of respiratory infectious diseases. Recently, some medical institutions in Wuhan reported that many of the pneumonia cases received were associated with South China Seafood City. Further investigation showed that these patients had clinically fever and fatigue, some patients had cough and less sputum, and a small number of patients had difficulty breathing as the disease progressed; laboratory tests showed that the total number of white blood cells in the early stage of disease was normal or decreased, and lymphocyte counts Decreased, liver and muscle enzymes increased in some patients; chest radiographic examination showed diffuse ground-glass exudation in both lungs. The patient's above situation is suggestive of viral pneumonia. The detection of pathogens excludes respiratory pathogens such as influenza, avian influenza, adenovirus, infectious atypical pneumonia (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and further pathogen identification and cause tracing are needed. In order to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of patients and the prevention and control of diseases, the health and health department calls it "viral pneumonia of unknown cause".
Question: According to the situation notified by the Wuhan Municipal Commission of Health, the number of cases has increased. Why did the number increase?
Answer: After receiving the situation that several medical institutions found that the pneumonia cases received by some medical institutions were related to South China Seafood City, Wuhan Municipal Health and Health Commission carried out relevant case searches and retrospective investigations in the medical institutions of the city, especially expanded unknown reasons. The scope of the search for viral pneumonia cases was organized, and experts were organized to diagnose and search the cases according to the diagnosis and treatment plan. Up to now, epidemiological investigations have shown that the expansion of the search scope, the retrospective investigation of existing cases, and the continued development of the investigation of included cases are the main reasons for the increase in the number of patients. It is expected that the number of cases will increase as related work progresses.
Q: What is the result of the current pathogen inspection?
Answer: As of now, respiratory pathogens such as influenza, bird flu, adenovirus, infectious atypical pneumonia (SARS), and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) have been excluded. Pathogen identification and cause tracing are still in progress, and no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission has been found.
Q: I haven't found any clear evidence of human-to-human transmission. Why should patients be treated in isolation and medically observed for close contacts?
A: As of now, preliminary investigation shows that no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission has been found. However, the patient's clinical manifestations are viral pneumonia, severe cases, and the etiology is not clear. The pathogen identification, etiology traceability and related epidemiological investigations are still in progress In further development, in view of this situation, it is very necessary to take preventive public health measures such as patient isolation treatment, close contact tracking and medical observation. I think this is a responsible attitude towards public health and safety. It is also a common practice in the international community. In the next step, with the further development of related work and the deeper understanding of the disease, the prevention and control measures will be adjusted accordingly.
Q: How to prevent viral pneumonia effectively in daily life?
A: Ordinary viral pneumonia can occur all year round. For this unknown cause of viral pneumonia, Wuhan has taken measures to close the South China seafood market, isolate patients for treatment, close contact tracing, and medical observation. Effectively reduce the risk of public infection. However, the winter and spring season is a season of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases such as viral pneumonia. The public still needs to maintain good living and hygiene habits, wash their hands frequently, maintain indoor air circulation, properly open windows for ventilation, and inoculate influenza vaccine. In addition, avoiding closed, airless public places and crowded places, wearing masks when necessary are good preventive measures.
