Australian researchers claim
breakthrough in containing coronavirus
From CNN's Samantha
Beech in Atlanta
Experts
from the New South Wales Health Pathology lab in Australia have successfully
grown the live coronavirus from NSW patients -- rather than synthetic specimens
--according to a health ministry statement.
“Health
experts around the world will be able to contain the spread of novel
coronavirus among the population faster, following a breakthrough by NSW Health
researchers,” the statement said.
Australian
health minister Brad Hazzard said experts can now help contain the spread of
the virus faster, as understanding the epidemiology of the disease is necessary
to develop reliable diagnostic testing to identify and contain it.
“Early
and accurate diagnosis of infectious and deadly viruses is critical because
undiagnosed patients can unknowingly transmit it to others,” Hazzard said.
3...........................................................................
NSW
Health Pathology’s director of public health pathology, Professor Dominic
Dwyer, said that “this cutting-edge work will expand access to faster, reliable
diagnostic testing for infected patients not just here in NSW but around the
world."
He
added that synthetic virus tools don’t offer the same high degree of diagnostic
accuracy needed to develop effective drugs to treat patients.
“We’re
proud to be able to share our discovery with the World Health Organization, and
international researchers and clinicians, so together we ultimately help save
lives,” Dwyer said.

There
are 66 newly confirmed coronavirus cases aboard the Diamond Princess ship
docked in Yokohama, according to an announcement just made by the ship’s
captain Stefano Ravera.
That
brings the total number of cases on the ship to 136, nearly doubling the
previous total of 70 confirmed cases yesterday.
Ravera
cautioned that this does not mean that the quarantine is not working.
“It
was not unexpected, the additional cases, involving individuals exposed prior
to the start of the quarantine,” he said.
Japanese
authorities are still testing hundreds of passengers on board the ship, which
has been stuck at the harbor south of the capital Tokyo for almost a week now.
Evidence
is increasingly pointing to a full blown outbreak on board the ship, the
largest outside of mainland China, where the vast majority of cases have been
reported until now.

Kia
Motors suspended nearly all production lines at its three South Korea factories
today, a Kia Motors spokesperson told CNN.
The
three plants, located in the cities of Gwangmyeong, Hwaseong and Gwangju, are
suspended due to “the problem of wiring harness supplies from China," said
the spokesperson.
One
exception is the production line for military vehicles in the Gwangju factory,
which is still operating.
Production
lines at the Hwaseong factory will resume Tuesday, and lines at the two other
plants will resume Wednesday, Kia Motors said.
“We
are trying to secure supplies from some factories that are operating in China,
factories in South Korea and in Southeast Asia,” the officer told CNN on
Monday.
Outbreak
hits auto industry: China is a
major supplier of parts to auto plants around the world -- shipping nearly $35
billion worth of parts in 2018.
But
plants across China have been closed for weeks in response to the coronavirus
outbreak -- and that could mean factories around the world grinding to a halt.
Hyundai
also has shut its assembly plants in South Korea, not because the disease
itself has spread there but because it can't keep the plants operating without
Chinese parts.

scheduled to end on February 19.
A
total of 70 people have tested positive for the Wuhan coronavirus on board the

warehouse converted into a makeshift hospital in Wuhan on February 4. AFP/Getty

Hours
after a state-imposed lockdown brought public transport in the Chinese city
of Wuhan to a halt in late January, Wan Jiuxiong and his colleagues sprang into
action.
The
27-year-old ride hailing driver joined a group of volunteers ferrying medical
staff to and from overcrowded hospitals, where rows of feverish patients were
fighting the coronavirus.
Wan's
first assignment was to pick up a nurse from home and drive her to the
Jinyintan Hospital, a key facility designated by the
government to treat patients infected with the pneumonia-like illness.
Wan's
passenger left in a hurry, without saying "goodbye" or "thank
you", but Wan isn't looking for thanks.
"In
this time of need, we Wuhan people have to save ourselves. Everyone has got to
do their own part," he said.
Volunteers
on the front lines: Hundreds of
volunteers have formed a lifeline for the residents of Wuhan, the epicenter of
the outbreak.
The
lockdown suspended all buses and subways -- and though the government deployed
taxis to help deliver supplies and transport patients, it's not enough.
To
fill that gap, ordinary car owners like Wan have organized themselves into
groups on WeChat, China's popular messaging app, where they swiftly respond to
the requests of medics.
In
addition to driving health care workers, some volunteer groups are
delivering medical resources and supplies to hospitals. Others provide
accommodation and hot meals to overworked doctors and nurses.
"It
has been really difficult work for us volunteers. All we relied on is our hot
blood," said Chen Hui, a 53-year-old volunteer. "Wuhan is sick, and
we all want to cure it by pulling everyone's effort together."

Millions
of people across China are heading back to work after the Lunar New Year break
turned into an extended quarantine due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Many
will be working from their homes, with strict quarantine guidelines in place in
many cities and most businesses urging people to work remotely if possible to
reduce the chances of transmission.
The
outbreak shows no signs of slowing, with the number of confirmed cases now at
over 40,000 worldwide and the death toll at 910.
The
vast majority of the deaths have been in mainland China, leaving the country in
something of a bizarre situation where some areas of it will be returning to
something approaching business as usual, even as other regions face
increasingly draconian restrictions on their movement and behavior in a
desperate attempt to contain the virus.
Drastic
measures: In a joint statement Saturday,
China's National Health Commission, Supreme Court and Ministry of Public
Security announced seven "medical-related crimes" that would be
severely punished.
They
include attacking medical personnel, refusing medical checks and damaging or
destroying property at medical facilities.
According
to the statement, anyone who violates new virus control regulations will be
quickly prosecuted and could face arrest, jail or even the death penalty.

Opinion: China's hero doctor was
punished for telling truth about coronavirus
From Michael Bociurkiw
Li
Wenliang
Editor's
note: Michael Bociurkiw is a global affairs analyst and a former spokesman for
the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. The opinions
expressed here are his own.
In
their botched handling of the tragic death of Li Wenliang, the Chinese doctor
who sounded the alarm on the Wuhan coronavirus, authorities in Beijing seem to
want it both ways.
On
the one hand, officials have expressed their sorrow over his death and
encouraged people to tell the truth about the outbreak. On the other hand,
government censors are hard at work scrubbing online posts that call for freedom of speech in
the wake of Li's death.
When
millions of people are denied the opportunity to grieve collectively over
someone widely regarded as a hero, their trust in government can only further
erode.
As
Li recently told the Chinese magazine Caixin before his death,
"I think a healthy society should not only have one kind of voice."
A
tipping point for the public: While
Li may not be immortalized to the same degree as the lone protester who faced
off against a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square during the 1989
anti-government protests, his "normal guy" persona, and sense of duty
has transformed him into an overnight hero -- and his death has unleashed an
unprecedented tsunami of grief and anger that probably has not been seen since President Xi Jinping rose to
power.
Authorities
then botched rollout of the news of Li's death, announcing then retracting and
announcing it again. And to many Chinese people, it was a tipping point, given
that manipulation and suppression of information is what allowed the wide
spread of the novel coronavirus in the first place.

Honeymooners stuck on quarantined
cruise: "Get us off the ship"
More
than 3,700 people are stuck in Yokohama, Japan, on a cruise ship that became a
floating quarantine zone after dozens of people onboard tested positive for the
coronavirus.
Among
them is Spencer Fehrenbacher, an American citizen and masters degree student in
Tianjin, China, who wanted to celebrate the Lunar New Year with his friends on
the ship.
Now,
he's confined to his cabin, spending his time reading and watching TV.
Passengers in interior cabins are allowed out for about an hour and a half, but
have to wear masks at all times and stay one meter away from each other, he
said.
Then
Fehrenbacher learned an additional 41 people were diagnosed with coronavirus.
Eventually, 70 people total on the ship would test positive.
"It
is beyond frightening news," Fehrenbacher said.
Newlyweds
Milena Basso and Gaetano Cerullo are also on the ship. But instead of enjoying the honeymoon they'd saved up for over two years,
they're worried about staying healthy and being trapped for longer than 14
days.
"We

quarantined in a sanitary environment that's safe, not on a cruise ship that's
already infected."

Trump, save us," Basso said. "Get us a government-based airplane. Get

The coronavirus crisis could shut
auto plants around the world
From CNN's Chris
Isidore

29, 2018. Nicolas Asfouri/AFP/Getty
The
coronavirus outbreak's cost to businesses worldwide is already readily apparent
-- and auto plants could be among the first to feel the impact.
That's
because of the massive size of the Chinese auto parts industry and the fact
that you can't build a car with only 99% of its parts.
China
is a major supplier of parts to auto plants around the world -- shipping nearly
$35 billion of parts in 2018, according to United Nations data. While some of
those parts go to auto parts retail stores, a large percentage of them go to
assembly lines and are used to build cars.
But
plants across China have been closed for weeks in response to the coronavirus
outbreak -- and that could mean factories around the world grinding to a halt.
It
only takes one missing part to stop a line," said Mike Dunne, a consultant
to the auto industry in Asia and the former head of GM's operations in Indonesia.
Plants
are closing across Asia: So
far most of the auto assembly plants in China are closed; Volkswagen announced
it was keeping its Chinese auto plants shut partly due to travel restrictions
there and partly due to the lack of parts.
But
it has already started to spread to plants elsewhere. Hyundai
has shut its assembly plants in South Korea, not because the disease itself has
spread there but because it can't keep the plants operating without Chinese
parts. Last week, Fiat Chrysler said it has one European plant at
risk from the lack of Chinese parts in the next two to four weeks.
