Kerala confirms 3rd positive case of coronavirus

[Chhatrapati]

WTH is that??????????

Never heard of Home quarantine?
Not every person who traveled to China needs to be put in a hospital.

Bad reporting. They're not suspected cases, but under observation after returning, or coming in contact with returnees etc. Those with symptoms are kept in hospitals with testing done on alternate days.

The state is taking no chances. Earlier it was reported that some idiots left home. But now the police is involved.

Home Quarantine of SUSPECTED cases... IS a problem... that is the dumbest thing you can do... in the early days of a new outbreak...
As if you can have faith on people NOT leaving their houses/have no external contact when they are "suspected"...
China herself is literally sealing Doors of Home suspected cases...

The Suspected thing got me... let's hope it is indeed misreporting.

Does it say he is infected by the new coronavirus

The article said the doctor is suspected of having it.

They are home quarantined because they didn't show any symptoms of nCorona. A staff will contact them to check if they show any signs of nCorona.

Would be strange if he got it since none of the evacuee have it. They have all tested negative.

India hasn't tested all evacuees. This propaganda needs to be summarily dismissed.

AFAIK, the standard diagnostic protocol around the globe is to screen all passengers returning from the endemic zone for the signs/symptoms of 2019-nCoV and then subject those that meet the case definition to NAAT-PCR. India is adhering to the established norms.

What's more surprising is that the latest CoV case from Kerala is a medical student from China and yet is refusing treatment. He/She wants to pray his way to recovery.

Such morons are widespread in South Asia. It is only due to the lack of screening/lab facilities and/or deliberate attempts by your Government to play down the issue(to prevent mass hysteria) that we are yet to hear about a single case from your country. Please bear in mind that less incidence of disease near the endemic zone is often due to underreporting of cases. Insipid governments often resort to such thuggery to bolster their fake healthcare stats(not suggesting that this is the way in Pakistan, but it could very well be).

I am responding to your prior chest thumping that somehow India can formally test all returnees. Now you accept that India, like anyone else, screens everyone and only tests a small percentage.

Pakistan has no lack of testing facilities, microbiologist expertise or testing kits. Your insinuation is merely propaganda and wishful thinking that many Indians share.

Pakistan may be deliberately hiding cases to avert mass panic. This is plausible.

Forget the virus bud, you sounding like smeagol has me worried.

A regional health emergency has been declared in the Indian state of Kerala after a third case of a lethal virus gripping China was confirmed there, prompting officials to take harsher action against those evading screenings.
The “state calamity” was announced by Kerala’s health minister KK Shailaja, who noted the designation was not meant to “trigger panic,” but rather “to create more awareness” about the fast-moving contagion, which has claimed 427 lives and infected over 20,000 worldwide since December.

With three confirmed cases in the country, India has begun to take steps to contain the outbreak, but Shailaja said some returning from China continue to sidestep health checks and warned there would be legal consequences for anyone caught doing so.

“Despite our vigilance, it is sad some returnees dodge health officials. It is really dangerous,” the minister said. “If they continue to do this we will treat it as a crime. We need cooperation of all to tide over the crisis.”

Over 2,200 Indians remain under observation for signs of the illness – which like its viral cousin, SARS, causes severe pneumonia-like symptoms – with another 84 already admitted to hospitals. A number of those under observation recently returned from China aboard two specially-equipped Air India flights sent to the country evacuate Indian citizens, many of them students studying abroad. Another 3,000 students remain in China, Shailaja said.

The novel coronavirus, dubbed nCoV19, has been confirmed in at least 25 countries, infecting some 188 beyond mainland China, where the vast majority of fatalities have been observed – with the exception of one Chinese national who traveled to the Philippines before succumbing to the illness. While there is not yet a vaccine or specific cure for the virus, at least 500 patients have recovered after being treated with a “cocktail” of HIV and other antiviral medicines.

Taalian for India!

So?

First check what happened to those kids that you abondon in China.
Now they are asking our help
Have some shame

This all is happening because your stupid govt evacuated for political gain risking your population.

We knows how to care our population.
If your govt have iota of shame tell those kids to donot ask Indias help at least

Kerala I think wanted independent South India they are more educated then modi-hindu

I am a Keralite .
Donot try to measure our patriotism.
Opposing the policies of our central Govt is not a new thing for us .
We did that before we will do in future also.

But thats end there . Around 16 % of our population supports BJP and for all of us Keralites ,Narendra Modi is our beloved PM.
We respects him.And will obey him as long as he follows our Constitution.

We Indians might quarrel each other .
That is our family matter.
Foreigners dont need to count on that.

Testing is not a fullproof method.

It is actually! Genomic sequence has been made available to enable the institutions devise their own primers for PCR. Assays for conserved regions of the genome help identify all cases of coronavirus infections (lots of false positives may come forth @masterchief_mirza, and this isn't a bad thing as you indicated in another thread that's now closed) and then the non conserved regions can be tallied for specific diagnosis for the novel variety of the virus. It is a foolproof method.

for all of us Keralites ,Narendra Modi is our beloved PM.

Well said, friend. PM's post is above all political differences. He is our beloved leader across the length and breadth of INDIA even for those who don't vote for his party.

Tests for suspected coronavirus patients in the US don't always work, the head of the CDC said

This has nothing to do with the principles of the testing process. Inadequate samples or those having suboptimal viral load will have less genetic material for the lab diagnosis. These issues are not specific to 2019-nCoV, holds true for all infections.

Understandable since the China is become a home for a lots of Pak girls.
But for India and rest of world ,they trust their govt not some foreigners .
Lol

 

[BHarwana]

@SrNair there 2826 suspected cases of Coronavirus in India of which 2743 are in their houses interacting with their families and making them sick as well and there are 84 cases in Indian hospitals. Who are you making fool? Declaring 3 and hiding rest will some how hide the truth?
Your govt fucked up with evacuation and you know it. Now they are hiding the truth.

Pakistan will not make the mistake your govt made relax.
