Basic Information about the novel Coronavirus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPvpfC7NfR0  

What is Coronovirus?

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans. 

Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.  Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans. 

How is it transmitted?Much is unknown about how 2019-nCoV, a new coronavirus, spreads. Current knowledge is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses. Most often, spread from person-to-person happens among close contacts (about 6 feet). Person-to-person spread is thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how influenza and other respiratory pathogens spread. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. It’s currently unclear if a person can get 2019-nCoV by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes.Symptoms

For confirmed 2019-nCoV infections, reported illnesses have ranged from people with little to no symptoms to people being severely ill and dying. Symptoms can include: Fever, Cough, Shortness of breath.

Death Rate

If you consider that each year, approximately three to five million people throughout the world contract seasonal influenza with an approximately 1% mortality rate, this causes 291,0000 to 646,000 people die from flu each year. 

https://www.forbes.com/sites/stephenbrozak/2020/02/01/the-5-unknowns-of-the-wuhan-coronavirus/#19a0e17f48ac

The estimated mortality rate is around 3.9% of the cases detected.

In Episode #9: DEVICEsive, Nick & Dan celebrate National Diabetes Awareness Month (November) by discussing whether the diabetes care industry is more interested in a cure or more devices.  For those that are not diabetic experts, we also discuss the 2 main types of diabetes, form(s) of treatment, and provide additional insight into the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) and the JDCA (Juvenile Diabetes Cure Alliance).

 

How many people have diabetes? 30.3 million people, or 9.4% of the U.S. population, have diabetes. An estimated 23.1 million people - or 7.2% of the population - had diagnosed diabetes. Approximately 7.2 million people have diabetes but have not yet been diagnosed (All ages, 2015). Diabetes impacts all social, economic, and ethnic backgrounds. Type 1 diabetes accounts for about 5% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes, affecting approximately 1.5 million people.

The Cost of Diabetes In 2012, the total estimated cost of diagnosed diabetes in the U.S. was $245 billion. Average medical expenditures for people with diagnosed diabetes were about $13,700 per year. About $7,900 of this amount was attributed to diabetes. Average medical expenditures among people with diagnosed diabetes were about 2.3 times higher than expenditures for people without diabetes.
