A coronavirus patient who almost died from the disease says he is concerned there will be a second wave of cases across Australia due to a “complacency” about the threat posed by the novel pathogen. Joseph Tannous spent two weeks in Sydney’s St George Hospital’s intensive care unit battling COVID-19-linked pneumonia. Mr Tannous, who at the time of his infection was a fit and healthy 49-year-old, said the severity of his infection caught him off guard. “Twice there my family was told I might not make it through,” he said. “The priest was called to pray for me, the last prayers, but I fought through and the great work of the hospital staff and the ICU staff at St George was fabulous.” “I am a fit and healthy person, I go to the gyms two or three times a week, I didn’t expect the virus to have an impact on me … but it is what it is, the virus doesn’t discriminate.” The Founder of Cornerstone Group Australia told Sky News while he doesn’t know how he contracted COVID-19, he got tested after attending a Liberal Party event on March 10th with Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton, who later tested positive for the disease. He said he is concerned the public has become complacent now that the COVID-19 curve has flattened. “Obviously my view is there will be a second wave, as has been the case in Singapore and places like that,” he said. “I am noticing first hand people [More]

And according to a recent report by U.S.-based investment bank JP Morgan Chase,… South Korea’s coronavirus epidemic has not yet reached its peak. Taking the speed of secondary infections in China into account ,… the bank predicted that the epidemic could reach its climax in Korea around March 20th and said there could be as many as ten thousand confirmed cases. The bank supposed three percent of the 2-point-4 million people living in Daegu had been exposed to the virus. Daegu is where more than 80 percent of the total confirmed cases have occurred in Korea. However, the South Korean health authorities said it’s too early to make such assumptions. Vice health minister Kim Gang-lip said at a briefing on Wednesday that more thorough statistical analysis needs to be done on the spread of the virus. Meanwhile, some say the virus will ultimately become uncontainable. In an article by the Atlantic,…Harvard epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch said the coronavirus will be a global pandemic,… with 40 to 70 [More]
