virology is doctor chris smith is with us.eve, he thinks people might be over estimating the dangers of this? thinks people might be over estimating the dangers of thi57m is very early days, meaning our information is based on retrospective information. large amounts of edge come from china, thatis amounts of edge come from china, that is a subset of what we know it's really going on, because china filters the information and we don't really know, based on how many people have tested positive, but thatis people have tested positive, but that is a fraction of an terms of how big the real number of cases. we have information from this cruise ship in yokohama, you have a very large group of people who have been monitored, significant numbers caught the virus, which has helped confirm what we think the rate of spread is, we know it infectious and probably twice as spreadable as normal seasonal flu. it has probably twice as spreadable as normal seasonalflu. it has been interesting from the perspective of the mortality rate. we know

or i'm joined now via skype by chris smith consultant for ologist and the presenter of the naked scientists podcast 1st of all can you help us to understand this change in methodology in diagnosing the virus in a province yes hello until now one form of testing one criterion was being used to confirm whether or not someone had got this virus now what they did was to change that case definition today or in the last 24 hours and said that rather than just calling a person positive if the test or they were positive what they're going to do is to use the clinical diagnosis clinical diagnosis means the person has the symptoms and if you look at their chest x. ray or their c.t. scan for example you can see the characteristic changes on there that we know signify a person has this or a very similar infection and given by and large that the majority of the cases are going to be this those are reasonable criteria so not surprisingly we went from about 2 and a half to 3000 cases a day here or 2 to today declaring 15000 new cases so it looks very alarming but in fact actually it's a statistical measur

return now to our top story on the coronavirus and the surge in cases with no clear link to china chris smith is a consultant for all of just the naked scientist he joins us now live by skype from cambridge in the u.k. thank you for your time mr smith 1st i want to talk about these numbers that we're seeing cases in south korea they seem to be going up very fast is that concerning to you. well obviously anyone catching an infectious disease and catching it in large numbers is concerning but this is kind of what we expected to happen and it's kind of mirroring what happened in china because if you remember if you caution my back to the beginning of january there was just a handful of cases in which which were linked to a seafood market and within a month those handful of cases that turned into thousands of people every single day so from very small acorns big oak trees can grow and that's sort of what we expect with the source of outbreaks because you get the small number of people who start the fire burning and then it spreads quite rapidly this is quite infectious disease everyone is potenti

cut it you could on a virus fit into that pattern to understand the kind of threat we turn 1st to chris smith who runs the nick of scientists podcast and there's a critical for all that just at the university of cambridge dr spoke to the world health organization this week a don't defy the new virus as public enemy number one in your estimation we know in the past but for global pandemic or will this new virus bottom that cell phone like sars before it well this new coronavirus appears to be more infectious than sars is spreads to more people and in fact if you tot up how many new cases each infected person produces is somewhere between $3.00 and $4.00 and sars was somewhere around about one and a half to 2 so it's at least producing twice as many new cases of sars was so we know that theoretically it can spread quite quite fast and quite well we also know that no one has ever had this before which means the entire world population is potentially susceptible to it because the reason we can't catch things once we've had them before is because you become immune to them if you never have them yo

i spoke to chris smith, who's a consultant virologist at cambridge university and a presenter on theentist podcast a little earlier. he explained how the virus had evolved. i noticed way back at the beginning of january that it appeared that lightning may be striking twice in wuhan because of its very close correspondence with what had happened with sars back in 2002-2003, so happened with sars back in 2002—2003, so we took this seriously. the story is beginning to clarify in terms of the origin. we have now seen information pointing towards it possibly being a trade in pangolins in the markets which is an intermediate host. we think this virus has come from bats, that bats are traded viruses with the pangolins in the market and they may have carried the virus into humans. britain has had its third case on the mainland and that person caught the mainland and that person caught the virus outside china and that spoke quite a lot to us because what thatis spoke quite a lot to us because what that is saying is previously, where oui’ that is saying is previously, where our case definition

chris smith is a consultant virologist at cambridge university — and a presenter on the naked scientistins me now via webcam. good to speak to you today. what sort of message have been putting out on the pod cast over the last week or so? an interesting story this one, this emerging infection. we were one of the first groups to cover this because i noticed at the beginning of january that it appeared lightning may be striking twice with wuhan because of its close correspondence with what had happened with sars back in 2002—3. we took this seriously. the story is beginning to clarify in terms of the origin. we have now seen information pointing towards it possibly being a trade in pangolins in the markets which is an intermediate host. we think the virus originates in bats, transferred it to pangolins. britain has had its third case in mainland britain and that person caught the virus outside china and that spoke quite a lot to us because what that is saying is that previously where oui’ is saying is that previously where our case definition, what we were using to decide whether to test

i want to share with you a story that my colleague, chris smith, told me some time ago on this very flooranna rosa rodriguez is an abortion survivor. at birth she was a healthy three pound baby girl except her for -- for her injury, she is missing one arm. she survived a botched abortion. her mother attempted to get an abortion in her 32nd week of pregnancy when she was perfectly healthy, eight weeks past what new york state at that time said would legally allow, and in the unsuccessful abortion attempt the baby's right arm was ripped off, however they failed to kill anna rosa. she lived. now pro-life supporters agree that nightmare situations like rodriguez's case are probably not common, but abortion-related deaths and serious injuries occur more frequently than most people are aware. it's amazing -- i'm still quoting from 28 years ago. it's amazing that we can pay so much attention to issues such as human rights abroad and can allow the violent destruction of over 26 million children here at home. we are fortunate that anna was not one of those children. she survived. well, that was 19
