20200210th-18th: Coronavirus Thread

We still don’t have a firm handle on this virus. The uncertainty leads to fear in a general population. Within this thread, we will share everything we know, culled from multiple sources. Thank you to all who contribute.

  • Bullet point items:
  • Cruise Ship docked and quarantined in Japan Diamond Princess, docked off Yokohama: now has 454 infected persons. Americans evacuate from the ship are testing positive, now quarantined at a military base in Texas.
  • Taxi Cab drivers and physicians reported the problem in Wuhan as early as December 8th-9th.
  • Official Death toll is 1,775 (Updated 8:00am Eastern, February 13, 2020) (could be thousands more)
  • In China, 70,553 confirmed cases (could be thousands to millions) with over 71,810 confirmed worldwide (Updated 8:00am Eastern, February 17, 2020)
  • Dashboard to update number of cases within China and worldwide: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6
  • Hardest hit is Hubei province, healthcare system is overloaded, but we’re seeing death tolls reported from Jilin, to Sichuan, to Guangdong to Chongqing – it’s all over China.
  • More contagious than Seasonal Flu, Spanish Flu, or SARS.
  • WHO team was allowed into China February 9th. USA has been offering assistance to China since January 6th.
  • USA delivered 100 million dollars of AID to China to battle the virus.
  • Approximately 80% of China’s export economy is shut down.
  • The Chinese central bank plans to pump $22 billion into the economy amid reports that the coronavirus or COVD19 will lower the expected growth of China’s economy from 2.1% to 1.2%. Farmers are having problems getting trucks to take their food supplies into towns for deliver…… system shutdown.
  • Under pressure from leadership, the Apple factory reopened…. but only 10% of the workforce showed up for duty. Other province governors have barred companies from reopening.
  • China agreed to “half” their tariffs on US goods, looking for economic relief from the USA
  • Economic impact on China will be severe
  • Japan’s economy contracted 1.6% as they face Coronavirus.
  • South Korea shut down their Hyundai plant due to lack of parts manufactured in China.
  • Statistics and information coming out of China are highly questionable.
A map of Chinese provinces will help us get oriented within the country.

Exceptionally valuable information is found in Pandemic Episode 15. Rosemary Gibson, Senior Advisor to the Hastings Center, took three years to investigate the state of Americas pharmaceuticals, culminating in the book “China RX”. Did you know the last aspirin factory in the USA closed down in 2004? Did you know that the USA can no longer MAKE Vitamin C? Did you know tainted heparin from China cause many deaths of American citizens….. it was Made in China. And did you know that our politicians have known about the problem/national security/health security for decades?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS7c_vqU4M4

Also within this program is an interview with Mike Bowen, Senior VP and owner of Prestige Ameritech, the last manufacturer of N-95 Medical Grade Masks in the USA. It’s an interview which will make you scream in frustration, and cry because of the ineptness of our bureaucrats and trade policies……. The facility used to supply about 79% of the market in the USA until purchased by Kimberly Clark….. shut down and shipped overseas, losing thousands of jobs and endangering Americans. It’s a must watch.

Gail Combs, fellow Treeper, is one of our best researchers. I believe she is a physicist. Wish I could give you her whole bio, yet this is the internet.… Gail has agreed to compile valuable info for us all, found below. Thank you, Gail! And thank you to BakoCarl for more resource links!

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE CHINESE CORONA VIRUS.

1. China does not have enough tests kits to document all suspected cases. The test can easily show a negative for people with the disease. Politically, China has good reason to lie. Also since it is a deep lung infection a cheek or throat swap can give a false positive. Coughed up sputum gives 11% more positives.

2. The virus attaches to ACE2 expressers deep in the lungs.
Men have 4 times as many ACE2 expressers as women and are 3 times as likely to get it.
Asians have 5 times as many as Africans/Europeans.

In early stats, (Jan2 – 41 people) less than half had underlying diseases BUT it does affect those with chronic inflammatory diseases including diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease (probably asthma too.)

3. Those without symptoms or with very mild symptoms can spread it. It can be spread via coughs, contact surfaces and with feces. Diarrhea is one of the possible symptoms. (Not good for San Fran-feces.)

4. We do not know how many without symptoms may have come over on early flights. Running a temperature many not appear immediately after contact with the virus.
”mean incubation period to be 6.4 (5.6 – 7.7, 95% CI) days, ranging from 2.1 to 11.1 days”
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.27.20018986v2

Revised: 6.4 –> 5.2 days. (~5 to 7 days) https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.02.20020016v1

”….time in hospital prior to death 10+ days I think for most of them….
…I have seen several references that said about 25% of confirmed cases get serious complications and something like 15% end up in ICU.”
 – Larry L.

76% of the confirmed 2019-nCov cases from 1 hospital in Wuhan required oxygen therapy.

5. According to MedCram US CDC/hospitals are using a SWAB (throat?) and 11 out of 178 tested positive. The problem is a throat or cheek swab while simpler to obtain, give false negatives while sputum samples are more reliable.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4187748/
https://www.who.int/csr/disease/coronavirus_infections/LaboratoryTestingNovelCoronavirus_21Dec12.pdf

6. The first victim here in the USA required a long hospital stay of at least 2 weeks. He was still coughing after two weeks and therefore probably still infectious.

7. People the most at risk are 50 years and over with pre-existing chronic inflammatory diseases. (Patriot Nurse)

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) summed it up this way:

…the Wuhan coronavirus has three features:

♦️ it is an RNA virus that mutates easily,
♦️ it is more contagious than SARS,
♦️ and it can spread from an asymptomatic person.

This means that even someone who has recovered from the virus can transmit it, making it more difficult to curb its spread.

As a result, Hsieh said it is possible that the virus could stay dormant in the body after recovery and come back to haunt the host in winter or when their immune system is weakened…. *

https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3869848

CONCLUSION
The virus is probably ‘free’ here in the USA. I t is more severe for men, especially older men and older people with chronic inflammatory disease. It requires a long hospital stay. Children may show little sign of the disease.

“What we think will happen over the next several weeks, will be more and more cases will begin to show up that have no obvious contact back to China,” –Michael Osterholm, Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

THEREFORE the goal is to prevent rapid spread of the disease especially to those over 50 so the hospitals are not overwhelmed. IF the system is overwhelmed the elderly WILL NOT GET CARE!

Removing Gloves

MASKS
”There is a minimum effective infectious dose. Greater doses increases the likelihood of infection. This also affects the incubation period. The lower the exposure, the longer the time needed for the infection to get going internally; and with that, the longer it will be before that person becomes infections and/or shows symptoms. Recall that most symptoms are due to activation of the immune system, and not from the infection itself.” — cdquarles 

For the painter/farmer masks: (N95 or N100)
3m has p100 filters with no sorbents, such as #2091, and then I saw ‘improved’ version #2291 I think. The 2091 are bright fuscia. I think I’ve seen people ambulating near Stanford hospital sporting these as facial fashion. Much easier to breath, and very comfortable with the 7502 ‘faceplate’. I had no sense of ‘rebreathing’ or claustro.

Many people wonder what they can do to NOT get the virus. If we think of Coronavirus like a “super-flu”, it makes sense to follow good general hygiene principles, eat well, and get plenty of rest. Here are some extra hints from Gail.

NUTRITION TO OPTIMIZE IMMUNE SYSTEM
High dose Vit C for anti viral activity.

Nutritional Treatment of Coronavirus

Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, Jan 30, 2020 recomends, VERY HIGH levels of Vitamin C.

Please read the whole article. At the bottom are references and recommended reading.

In summary:

What dosage?
Vitamin C fights all types of viruses. Although the dose should truly be high, even a low supplemental amount of vitamin C saves lives. This is very important for those with low incomes and few treatment options. For example, in one well-controlled, randomized study, just 200 mg/day vitamin C given to the elderly resulted in improvement in respiratory symptoms in the most severely ill, hospitalized patients. And there were 80% fewer deaths in the vitamin C group. [7]
…The sicker a person was, the more ascorbic acid they would tolerate orally without it causing diarrhea. In a person with an otherwise normal GI tract when they were well, would tolerate 5 to 15 grams of ascorbic acid orally in divided doses without diarrhea…..
But to best build up our immune systems, we need to employ large, orthomolecular doses of several vital nutrients. The physicians on the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service review board specifically recommend at least 3,000 milligrams (or more) of vitamin C daily, in divided doses. Vitamin C empowers the immune system and can directly denature many viruses. It can be taken as ascorbic acid (which is sour like vinegar), either in capsules or as crystals dissolved in water or juice. It can also be taken as sodium ascorbate, which is non-acidic. To be most effective, it should be taken to bowel tolerance. This means taking high doses several (or many) times each day. See the references below for more information….

Magnesium: 400 mg daily (in citrate, malate, chelate, or chloride form)…..

Vitamin D3: 2,000 International Units daily. (Start with 5,000 IU/day for two weeks, then reduce to 2,000)…..

Zinc is a powerful antioxidant and is essential for many biochemical pathways. It has been shown to be effective in helping the body fight infections. [20,21] A recommended dose is 20-40 mg/day for adults….

Selenium:100 mcg (micrograms) daily…..

B-complex vitamins and vitamin A: A multivitamin tablet with each meal will supply these conveniently and economically…..
Nutritional supplements are not just a good idea. For fighting viruses, they are absolutely essential

What Does Taking Massive Amounts of Vitamin C Do to Your Body?

https://www.livestrong.com/article/413359-what-are-the-benefits-of-mega-dosing-vitamin-c/

Debunking of side effects:
https://www.approachwellness.com/vitamin-c-side-effects.html

From a fellow Q-Treeper (sorry I did not keep the Id) I have added the studies verifying the claims.

A VERY over-simplified version of how viruses work, immune boosting, and what you can do NOW. This is esp helpful for at risk age groups, but good for everyone.

Those spikes you see on virus pics allow it to puncture your cell wall and use the inside of your cell for food. Immune boosters help strengthen your cell wall, among other things.

ELDERBERRY SYRUP – (Sambucus n.) Strengthens your cell walls, and is shown to bind to flu viruses, preventing them from invading cells and replicating.

ASTRAGALUS – Helps increase the bodies production of interferon, and, reduces water retention.

ECHINACEA p. – Provides inulin, which improves white cells ability to fight in part by increasing properdin, increases and activates white cells, signals the body to release interferon.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4058675/

VITAMIN C – Helps the red blood cells transport oxygen thru the body.
Your lymphatic system runs along (mostly) the same paths that your blood vessels use. However, your lymph system doesn’t have a “pump” the way your blood vessels have your heart to move things along. Your lymphatic system helps with your blood system to drain out the debris from your dead cell walls, dead virus cell, and white cells, etc. Keeping your lymphatic system clear of debris is why you are told to drink lots of fluids when you get sick. That junk needs to be urinated out, to keep the lanes clear for more white cells to attack the virus. There are also simple excercises that “pump” your lymphatics. These are all online. If you catch a virus, there are more things to add that may help.

So, if you get sick:
INCREASE YOUR IMMUNE BOOSTERS!!! like, every couple hours or so.
Drink LOT of fluids

Add STEROIDS to help reduce inflammation if necessary. This can be prescribed or LICORICE HERB (not the candy, sorry!) can be used.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27650551
https://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/can-licorice-save-world-next-pandemic-infection

NETTLES – Anti-histamine, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic. Is helpful with drying up runny noses, too!

…Phenolic compounds could be defined as biologically active and herbal and have positive effects on health. The scientific researches are increased about the positive effect of phenolic compounds into coronary heart disease and high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, inflammative, viral and parasitic disease, psychotic disorders

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3349212/

DANDELION – A strong diuretic, has Vitamin C and potassium. (Most diuretics take out potassium along with the urine.)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3265450/

For fever, Tylenol or Motrin. Some people don’t do fever control, as the higher temperatures help kill the virus, but I have seen seizures happen from this, so I think fever control is a good thing. Also, if your body is fight aches and fever, those are cells which can be helping fight the virus instead.
Again, very over-simplified, but some steps you can be taking NOW, and some herbs you can look into to see what may work for you and yours.

There are a lot of sites like this:
15 Foods That Boost the Immune System
https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/foods-that-boost-the-immune-system

I recommend looking for the scientific studies (pro and con) that actually support the claims of any health remedy not prescribed by a doctor as I have done above.

DISCLAIMER: I am a chemist and not a doctor. This is just a compilation from comments at both sites that may be of interest to readers. Think for your self!

Logical thinking.

Thank you!

Experimental Remdesivir worked in USA! Right to try! Links below (Sorry, Wheatie, for shamelessly replying to your post since it is at the top of the thread.) Here’s your gift of HOPE from POTUS!

POTUS does NOT seemed concerned. 2:20 video, first NATO, then about 1:58 mark, talks about coronavirus not surviving past April due to heat.

Gail Combs

As I said above, the name of the game is to SLOW down the spread. President Trump did just that by IGNORING UN-WHO, the CDC and the idiot, Tom Inglesby at Johns Hopkins, ALL of whom are FAR MORE concerned about CHINA’s TRADE than about stopping the pandemic.
The idiotic use of screening for fever instead of using quarantine has gotten places like the UK in trouble. So far the USA has 12 cases 6 in California one each in other states PLUS five people evacuated from Wuhan, China, and who were being quarantined at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, CA.
It is California who is in trouble. I read somewhere yesterday that political leaders in California had a closed door meeting with the California Chinese community.comment image

BlackKnightRides

GREAT POINTS, Gail.
Then there’s the Open Borders and Sanctuary Cities-States!
… Multiplying the CARRIERS and Incubating our PEOPLE!
Bless President Trump for securing funding for 1,000 Miles of Border Wall!

Gail Combs

AMEN!
We know there is a large Chinese presence in Mexico and South America. The chances of the virus being there are near 100%.

BlackKnightRides

AGREE, Gail … Thank the Lord that POTUS has secured funding for 1,000 miles of Wall.

Gail Combs

I found the reference to california politicians. Larry L. of course.

So it looks like San Fran-Feces is getting a bit worried. If the virus gets loose in the homeless population the Demonrats are going to have a REAL NASTY POLITICAL MESS on their hands.

Rodney Short

China has alot I vested in California from silicon valley all the way to the Governor’s office and I would really love to see what Jerry Brown receives from China.

grandmaintexas

So true, Rodney. We left California in 2006. The Chinese were buying up real estate by the boatload.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

OMG – that graph for nCoV is a population controller’s DREAM. All pointing to a Cabal intentional release. Seriously – look what it does. It does exactly what a BRAINSTORMING GROUP of population controllers would want…..
(Fictional demonstration of this idea….)
*****************
“From the beginning. Start over. How do we lower human population optimally with a pathogen?”
“Well, if only the flu were more virulent, it would control human population.”
“Good luck. We’ve tried it for decades. One failure after another. Nothing sticks.”
“I keep telling them it won’t work. Flu cannot maintain lethality against the work of non-project scientists. Between flu’s own mutation and non-project scientists, it will ALWAYS lose lethality too fast.”
“Remember HIV? What a bust THAT was.”
“Yeah, HIV wasn’t nearly fast enough. Damn, I really had hopes for that one.”
“Hey, we learn by failure. HIV was a good try.”
“What if we could make the flu only kill OLDER people?”
“Oh, that would be a DREAM!”
“Won’t work with flu. We have nothing – NOTHING – in influenza that will selectively kill off the elderly. Far too many kids. Always.”
“What about SARS and MERS?”
“Better, but not good enough. Get over 10% lethality in mid-life years, and we start losing too many trained adults. Those are prime pay-back years for education and job training. Basically, we want to kill off retirees. Not managers and supervisors. SARS and MERS are no good.”
“OK. How about normal coronaviruses?”
“They’re nice and safe young, but not lethal enough old. It’s like colds and flu. Won’t do the job.”
“What if we could modify a stronger coronavirus like SARS or MERS?”
“Theoretically, it could work, but you would have to do two things. Strongly raise lethality above 65, while lowering it just as strongly in the 45-65 region. But there are other problems.”
“Such as?”
“It has to evade control during the FIRST outbreak. The genie cannot go back in the bottle, or we fail. It has to become like the flu – rapidly mutating, seasonal, recurring, unremovable – a new planetary fixture. That way, even if a vaccine is developed, it only saves a certain number of people, and we end up with what amounts to more lethal flu – the original goal.”
“Open borders will spread it fast. Not a problem. And don’t worry – WHO is on our side. They’ll make sure the travel barriers stay down.”
“Who is going to do it?”
“China. They’ve been begging for this. Not a problem. Their leadership understands that humanity needs new evolutionary pressures. They are not encumbered by superstitious ideas. They’re very current in their thinking about optimizing humanity.”
“Wow. You know, this is kinda like killing off Trump’s base!”
“Hilarious!”
“Yeah. And we had better hope they never figure it out, or they will shut down every last globalist institution and put us ALL in front of firing squads for crimes against humanity.”
THE END

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

It’s damn scary. This stuff FITS THE AGENDA like a GLOVE.
To me it seems like it was supposed to be part of the Hillary-Obama 16 year plan – where we would be in a bunch of wars right now, and domestic conflict at home, spreading the virus just like the Spanish Flu.
And while I don’t have any “standard” explanation for it, note that Margaret Sanger was singing the same depopulation songs BEFORE both WWI and that epidemic, too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Sanger
NOW what Q is saying seems to make a lot of sense. POPULATION CONTROL seems to be a THEME.

Alison

I think it always has been. But what boggles my mind is they never once think they, themselves, or their offspring will become the hunted. They are that stupid.

BlackKnightRides

Daughn and Gail, you’ve created a phenomenal resource.
This will save LIVES and FAMILIES.
God Bless you both!

Gail Combs

That was my goal BlackKnightRides, hopefully we can save many lives.
If we can slow the spread, & beef up our immune systems, than the hospitals can handle the case loads. Also the longer it takes to get to the USA the more likely the virus will mutate into a less virulent form.
President Trump by closing travel from China and to foreigners who have been to China in the last months will have a really large effect on saving lives.
….
If it does get loose in the San Francisco and Los Angles homeless population, it is going to give the Democrats a YUGE black eye. Of course they will try to blame it on President Trump but I doubt that will work.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Letting the more dubious stuff go into the comments for debate is probably best. You can also add a “dubious links” section at the end, or in a comment, too.

Alison

I agree, Daughn. Even if we are getting reliable info, do our country’s better air quality, nutritious diets, and general health conditions make any difference from stats we are hearing out of China?

Alison

👍👍
I also think – if this begins to look like a real crisis in USA ie shortage of medical supplies, etc. the Trump admin would treat this like war time, meaning domestic facilities would quickly ramp up to produce pharmaceuticals we now import (not just antiviral but the everyday meds so many of us take), protective gear and anything else that is a necessity If facing an import shortage.
We citizens have not truly been tested since WWII on what the homefront can accomplish if need be. There are enough Boomer offspring of the Greatest Generation that we can kick it into gear if we need to. The VietNam vets and Cajun boat guys come to mind as examples of those who will rise to the occasion. Heck I’d even go work on an assembly line if it comes to that.

Daughn,
EXCELLENT SUMMATION OF ALL QTreepers especially Gail, have reported thus far!
2. “The virus attaches to ACE2 expressers deep in the lungs.
Men have 4 times as many ACE2 expressers as women and are 3 times as likely to get it.
Asians have 5 times as many as Africans/Europeans.”

They have now found a link to SMOKERS. The Chinese are heavy smokers.
A pre-print of a study

Abstract
In current severe global emergency situation of 2019-nCov outbreak, it is imperative to identify vulnerable and susceptible groups for effective protection and care. Recently, studies found that 2019-nCov and SARS-nCov share the same receptor, ACE2. In this study, we analyzed four large-scale datasets of normal lung tissue to investigate the disparities related to race, age, gender and smoking status in ACE2 gene expression. No significant disparities in ACE2 gene expression were found between racial groups (Asian vs Caucasian), age groups (>60 vs <60) or gender groups (male vs female). However, we observed significantly higher ACE2 gene expression in smoker samples compared to non-smoker samples. This indicates the smokers may be more susceptible to 2019-nCov and thus smoking history should be considered in identifying susceptible population and standardizing treatment regimen.
https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202002.0051/v1

GA/FL

Thank you so much for posting this Gail.
The truth about any ethnic variation in the ACE2 gene expression – if that is really the doorway to infection – is vital.

No surprise they would mention smokers, is it? Smoking causes everything, including hangnails.

Dauhn, Thanks for creating the article and all the information.
Gail, Thanks for all the detailed information. Including prevention, nutrition…
FWIW, Have listened to War Room a couple times in the background. Good information.

Concerned Virginian

It is worth pointing out that if the crematory figures (per @anilvohra69 and based on numbers given by workers at these facilities) are the TRUE figures about REPORTED deaths from the Wuhan Coronavirus, then it is ENTIRELY possible that the “official” death rate is UNDER STATED by a factor of about 53.8.
49,000 deaths per the crematory figures divided by the “official” figure of 910 deaths = 53.846
Therefore it can then be inferred that the ACTUAL infection figures are MUCH higher than the “official” figures for Communist China. And these ACTUAL infection figures would count ONLY the persons crammed into the “instant hospitals” in Wuhan City / Hubei. NOT counted would be the THOUSANDS pf people infected / dying / dead, in their locked down or welded shut apartment buildings.
Question — How can there now be over 100 persons infected by the virus on the Diamond Princess, if the passengers have NO contact with each other and are quarantined in their cabins? Does the virus then travel through the air ducts / heating and cooling systems / via the toilets? From one balcony to another if an infected person coughs or sneezes in the open air? Are there crew and/or staff infected and are still on the boat?

Aubergine

I read an article which stated that the cases reported supposedly developed before the quarantine was implemented. There is a 2-11 day incubation period, average about 6-7 days.

Gail Combs

If the first symptoms to death time span is 7 to 10 days or more AND the number of cases confirmed is exponentially increasing, then you have to do the math using January 30th deaths and January 20th cases to get a reasonable idea of the death rate.
See: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1223887384892313600.html

Think someone is lying to you?
First check to see if they bothered to add any variability whatsoever in the model they are using to supposedly report actual numbers from a complex system.
.
.
.
Closer look at mortality rates calculated at -0, -3, -5, -7 Days.
Since the virus takes between 7-10 Days to kill people, achieving steady state in the -0 Day mortality rate is only possible if a dramatic reduction in mortality occurred….

This graph looking at the number of ID cases 7, 5 and 3 days prior to the death numbers.
If you look closely at the 7 day offset curve, the most likely curve given what we know, the mortality rate hits a high of 66.1% on January 24th and then nose dives to 15.4% on February 1st… WHEN THE MEDICALS ARE EXHAUSTED AND SUPPLIES ARE RUNNING OUT!comment image

A recent post on ZeroHedge noted that China has addressed its mask shortage by ordering people to use no more than 2 masks per week.
Wouldn’t this multiply the virus count captured in those loose-fitting and high-humidity masks, leading to a much higher rate of infection of mask-wearers?

“On Wednesday, it was confirmed that 10 people on board a cruise ship in Japan had also tested positive, prompting authorities to instruct all passengers to remain inside their cabins.”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/05/coronavirus-cruise-ship-carrying-3700-quarantined-in-japan-after-10-test-positive
This was only 5 days ago . . . but the virus can have up to a 14-day incubation. Additionally, since groups are confined in their cabins, the virus can be slowly developing in infected persons in those cabins and then spreading to unaffected persons in the same cabins at a later time.

Deplorable Patriot

The thing about cruise ships and ventilation, is that half the cabins are are the exterior of the ship where changing the air is not dependent on forced air. Isolation would be better done with the balcony doors open where the salt air can flow through, but I doubt that was the way it was presented.

VIA TOILETS….
”… virus is also present in stools of patients with Diarrhea. Oral Fecal contamination route may be getting over looked as people try to control spread of the virus. The “flush” aerosolizes the virus in the tidy bowl and the stuff stays suspended for about 20 minutes. i.e. Public Toilets are also the Virus Exchange…” — E.M. Smith (aka ChiefIO)

Daughn,
I thought that an initial study showed “A comparison between eight individual samples demonstrated that the Asian male one has an extremely large number of ACE2-expressing cells in the lung.” And “No association was detected between the ACE2-expressing cell number and the age or smoking status of donors.”
But a later, larger study concluded that the difference in ACE-2 cells was primarily or wholly the result of smoking status. And that in China about 50% of the men smoked, bu only 2% of the women smoked. The study was described via a video.

coosmama

Bako, This is a weedy blood pressure study addressing genetics from 2018. On page 22, it does discuss the differences in ACE2 regarding ethnicities. Will try to re-read later regarding males vs females. Does show higher Chinese 40, vs Anglo 22.

And here I thought it was them weaponizing the virus to kill military age men.
Will we ever know the truth this side of Heaven?

coosmama

Another thing to consider, since China’s 1 Child policy, there is an over abundance of men. If this is a bio weapon, choosing a virus to bind to the higher ACE2 receptors in military age men seems easy. Communist China does not value human life, needs to squash an uprising, decrease the number of mouths to feed, and, reset its economy, all at the same time. This has a possibilty for the patent holder to step in with a vaccine at the right time to move some money, per an economic forum. Most noted, is the absence of children. Sure, a few babies to elicit a tear, but the children seem to be disappearing. So many unconfirmed theories.
What is confirmed is that POTUS has it ALL, is a germaphobe, says virus should die off in April, understands the cruelity of the Dragon, and GOD is on the Throne!

In light of the fact that the virus is now likely “free” in the United States; and that medical professionals are saying that more “secondary” infections will occur in persons with NO primary contact either from being in a country where the virus is, OR have had NO contact with persons who were in Wuhan / Hubei —
My opinion: it is time to have all necessary “shelter at home” supplies and action plans ready; and to start using PPE and other measures (wiping down doorknobs, etc.) while out in public.

Gail, I shouldn’t comment without viewing the video but I just vacuum seal (Food Saver) those things in quart jars and they work perfectly. I’ve used vacuum sealed chocolate chips, raisins, crackers, etc. after 2-3 years and they are perfectly fresh.
I also have a dehydrator and dry lots of fresh things in the summer when they are abundant and cheap…for example, squash or tomatoes. I can slice and dry an entire head of cabbage and it fits into a quart jar…same with a pound of hamburger. When I think of it, I’ll get a frozen package of veggies (peas, green beans, carrots) for less than $1 at Aldi’s… dry it…put it into a jar and seal it for soups, stews, etc. Saves freezer space, always a premium at my house.

GA/FL

Teagan – How do you vacuum seal food in jars? Or seal bags and put them into the jars?

Teagan

I use a Food Saver that does both…one of the best things I’ve bought to use in kitchen. It comes with an attachment for regular and wide lid jars. Place it over a filled jar with lid on ..it removes all the air out within a few seconds and you hear “pop” (meaning it’s sealed.) can open to use part of contents and resealed. No need to used bags in jars.

From the Senate special committee’s 1973 report on Emergency Powers Statutes
Joint Statement, Sens. Frank Church (D-ID) and Charles McMathias (R-MD)
September 30, 1973
Noncombatant Evacuation Operations
“The President has the power to seize property, organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, call reserve forces amounting to 2 1/2 million men to duty, institute martial law, seize and control all menas of transportation, regulate all private enterprise, restrict travel, and in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all Americans…
Most [of these laws] remain a a potential source of virtually unlimited power for a President should he choose to activate them. It is possible that some future President could exercise this vast authority in an attempt to place the United States under authoritarian rule.
While the danger of a dictatorship arising through legal means may seem remote to us today, recent history records Hitler seizing control through the use of the emergency powers provisions contained in the laws of the Weimar Republic.”

That is for the Federal take on ‘hoarding’

Gail Combs

I wonder if it is illegal to ‘hoard’ information???? 😲😋

Gail Combs

Hawaii As A Specific Example of an Anti-Hoarding Law

For Hawaii, this information will be found in Title 10 under “Public Safety”. It is located after legislation on militias, state guard troops, etc. Then you find the jewel… In Hawaii you are considered a “hoarder” if you have more than one week’s provisions on hand BUT you have to dig to uncover this information. Here is a specific example:
“HAWAII REVISED STATUTES REVISED 1997, Title 10:
(1) Prevention of *hoarding, waste, etc. To the extent necessary to prevent hoarding, waste, or destruction of materials, supplies, commodities, accommodations, facilities, and services, to effectuate equitable distribution thereof, or to establish priorities therein as the public welfare may require, to investigate, and any other law to the contrary notwithstanding, to regulate or prohibit, by means of licensing, rationing, or otherwise, the storage, transportation, use, possession, maintenance, furnishing, sale, or distribution thereof, and any business or any transaction related thereto.”
Committee Notes? Huh?
In the actual Title document for Hawaii, you will not find the specifics for what length of time constitutes “hoarding” nor an amount. Instead, you must look at the committee notes which describes it as the opinion that one week’s supplies per person is considered adequate food provisions. It is not spelled out what those provisions shall consist of or how much is considered “adequate” until you get to the committee notes.
You will probably have to “dig” for the committee notes as well. Lynn Shaffer, our legislative interpreter, explains committee notes this way. “When the legislature agrees that a law or statute is needed to effect certain governmental goals to prohibit or encourage civilians to respond in a particular way, that statute has attached to it (you will see it printed in the law books) what is called “committee notes.” The courts, when making a determination of how the statute is to be interpreted and applied to the case before it, looks to “legislative intent” or what was recorded in the committee’s notes when the bill was meandering its way through the legislative process.”
What happens if a hoard is found:
“128-28 Forfeitures. The forfeiture of any property unlawfully possessed, pursuant to paragraph (2) of section 128-8, may be adjudged upon conviction of the offender found to be unlawfully in possession of the same, where no person other than the offender is entitled to notice and hearing with respect to the forfeiture, or the forfeiture may be enforced by an appropriate civil proceeding brought in the name of the State. The district courts and circuit courts shall have concurrent jurisdiction of the civil proceedings. Any property forfeited as provided in this section may be ordered destroyed, or may be ordered delivered for public use to such agency as shall be designated by the governor or the governor’s representative, or may be ordered sold, wholly or partially, for the account of the State. [L 1951, c 268, pt of 2; RL 1955, 359-25; HRS 128- 28; am imp L 1984, c 90, 1]”
*http://www.millennium-ark.net/News_Files/Exec.Orders/EOs.html

From the looks of it you would have to be a lawyer to actually dig out each state’s anti-hoarding laws and given the way they are buried it would be difficult to say whether or not the inability of finding such a law means the law is actually absent.

Some more very hopeful info –
Gilead mulls repositioning failed Ebola drug in China virus
by Nick Paul Taylor | Jan 24, 2020 8:22am Gilead
Interest in the use of remdesivir against coronavirus is underpinned by early-stage data. (Gilead China)
Gilead Sciences is considering repositioning NUC inhibitor remdesivir as a treatment for the coronavirus now sweeping across parts of China. The antiviral last made headlines when Gilead tested it, with little success, as a treatment for Ebola virus.
As happened during the Ebola outbreak, the surge in cases of infection with a potentially fatal strain of the coronavirus in parts of China has led to a flurry of statements from biotechs with assets they claim could help keep the virus under control. Gilead became the latest drug developer to throw its hat into ring when it issued statements about its plans to Bloomberg Law and Reuters.
“Gilead is in active discussions with researchers and clinicians in the United States and China regarding the ongoing Wuhan coronavirus outbreak and the potential use of remdesivir as an investigational treatment,” the big biotech said.
Based on previous outbreaks, few, if any, of the programs now being talked up will lead to drugs that make a difference, either therapeutically or commercially. However, Gilead is in a slightly different position than some of the other companies with an interest in the virus.
Whereas Moderna is applying its untested “rapid response capability” to the development of a new mRNA vaccine and other companies are at similarly early stages, Gilead has a drug that has already been tested in humans. That positions Gilead to respond more quickly to the outbreak, although it also leaves scope to doubt whether it has a drug capable of tackling coronavirus.
Gilead pushed remdesivir forward quickly in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases in response to the West African Ebola virus epidemic that began in 2013. The R&D program culminated in a randomized controlled clinical trial that tested remdesivir and three other drugs in patients with Ebola.
The trial found two of the drugs were more effective than remdesivir, putting an end to efforts to establish the NUC inhibitor as a treatment option in Ebola. Despite the setback, remdesivir could emerge as a potential treatment for coronavirus.
Interest in the use of remdesivir against coronavirus is underpinned by data including the findings of early-stage tests published in 2018. The tests generated preliminary evidence that remdesivir inhibits murine hepatitis virus and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus without spurring the rise of dangerous drug-resistant strains.
“These studies define the target of GS-5734 activity and demonstrate that resistance is difficult to select, only partial and impairs fitness and virulence of MHV and SARS-CoV, supporting further development of GS-5734 as a potential effective pan-[coronavirus] antiviral,” the authors of the 2018 paper (PDF) wrote.

Thanks! Just trying to keeps things focused on HOPE, and not let the media cause fear. Maybe by showing and citing older studies, it helps to know that this isn’t as new or unmanageable as the media spin, and can aleviate some of the stressors. This is a pantented virus, so easy papertrails. There are treatments available, including “Right to Try”.
Please understand that some of the journals I read are behind paywalls and some studies are copywritten, some studies are so weedy, there’s no reason to post them on a lay forum, esp a public forum which asks you to (within reason) post sources.

Generally newborns are not photographed. Also remember the first known case was DECEMBER 1st so the ‘newborns’ could be as old as 2 months by now.

I guess it depends on what yr definition of “newborn” is…if it’s “2 mos and under”, imo, those little ones look “newborn”…they’re obviously not able to sit up on their own…
they don’t look “just born”…but newborn, yes…
they also look healthy, imo…..not emaciated or sickly…
…and they are under medical observation ..
at any rate, it raises an issue that, so far, I haven’t heard anything about : the children of coronavirus-infected parents…

“the ‘Diamond Princess’, and the 3,600+ remaining passengers and crew, will be stuck in place until mid-February. The NYT chronicled the growing sense of unease and paranoia aboard the ship, which we cited yesterday.”
“The ship’s captain Stefano Ravera announced Monday that 66 new cases of the virus had been confirmed, bringing the infection total of passengers and crew to 136, more than double any other country or territory outside mainland China.”

bakocarl

Except now (see earlier in this thread), it looks like the coronavirus 2019 nCoV may have instances of a 24 hour incubation periods.

bakocarl

make that 24-day incubation

Gail Combs

Worse, roughly 300 of 3,711 people have been tested so far.

Deplorable Patriot

Half, at least, are stuck in place half with recycled, stagnant air on a forced air system. The other half most likely have balconies on the outside to filter with fresh air.
Food is prepared in a common kitchen in the middle of the ship, again with forced air, by workers who may well be infected themselves.
Potable water is conserved when possible even with desalinization plants on the ships now.
All the way around, those people are trapped and it’s going to be a miracle if no new cases pop up.
I haven’t been on any of the big ships, but even with 2000 passengers, 750-1,000 crew, the quarters are cramped, and in the cabins, it’s even worse. I mean most of the cabins I’ve stayed in were smaller than the room I’m sitting in.

Concerned Virginian

BlackKnightRides —
In actuality, it appears to look more like this:
The Wuhan Coronavirus can exist for NINE DAYS ON A SURFACE.
It is now proven to have a TWENTY-FOUR DAY INCUBATION PERIOD — at least half of which is a person is infectious who is ONLY showing mild symptoms OR is “an ignorant carrier” (a person who had contact with an infected person BUT who themselves are asymptomatic).
TWO DAYS for a person who believes they are infected to get tested and a confirmed diagnosis.
That makes a total of THRITY-FIVE DAYS of isolation / quarantine, AFTER THE LAST CASE IS ANNOUNCED. (E.M. Smith and Larry Ledwick on the Chiefio blog virus thread)

cdquarles says:

Cutting exposure doses will help. There is a dose-response curve for pathogens just like there is one for medicines or toxins. Cut the shedding to rates below the threshold should be equivalent to zero shedding.

There is an interesting side note to this. A bunch of cavers back in the 1970s were tested by scientists and were found to have rabies antibodies. It was thought that the exposure to low levels of rabies in the air from bats & guano infested caves cause cavers to develop these antibodies WITHOUT ever having a case of rabies.
(Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. The rabies virus is a negative-sense, non-segmented, single-stranded RNA virus.)

… suggests that [hospital/transit/LEO/crematorium] workers who endure continuing low-dose exposure may become prime candidates to harvest and replicate potential antibodies ???

President Trump signed an EO on September 19, 2019 to do just this.
• Thank God he’s been prescient in working on ALL of our vulnerabilities
• Damn the Demo☭rats for consuming ANY of his time for 3 years that delayed this!
Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to modernize the domestic influenza vaccine enterprise to be highly responsive, flexible, scalable, and more effective at preventing the spread of influenza viruses. This is a public health and national security priority, as influenza has the potential to significantly harm the United States and our interests, including through large-scale illness and death, disruption to military operations, and damage to the economy. This order directs actions to reduce the United States’ reliance on egg-based influenza vaccine production; to expand domestic capacity of alternative methods that allow more agile and rapid responses to emerging influenza viruses; to advance the development of new, broadly protective vaccine candidates that provide more effective and longer lasting immunities; and to support the promotion of increased influenza vaccine immunization across recommended populations.
Sec. 3. National Influenza Vaccine Task Force. (a) There is hereby established a National Influenza Vaccine Task Force (Task Force). The Task Force shall identify actions to achieve the objectives identified in section 2 of this order and monitor and report on the implementation and results of those actions. The Task Force shall be co-chaired by the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, or their designees.
Deadline for 5-year Plan:
January 17, 2020
NO DOUBT they’ve put this ALL-of-GOVERNMENT initiative on STEROIDS.

Last week, the Indian scientists who reported they had found HIV viruses artificially inserted into the new coronavirus infecting China were threatened with death by Mossad agents and forced to retract their paper, according to Mossad sources. Apparently somebody powerful in Israel is desperate to cover up the fact this was a bioweapon attack on China.
Of course, the world is not buying the story that this is a naturally occurring coronavirus. The Muslims know what is going on, as do the Russians and the Indians. So does everybody else, except a shrinking group of brainwashed sheeple in the West.

This can be seen, for example, in an official Xinhua news report about a call Chinese President Xi Jinping had with U.S. President Donald Trump that was requested by the U.S. side. Trump said, “The United States fully supports China’s fight against the novel coronavirus epidemic, and is willing to send experts to China and offer assistance in various other forms.” http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-02/07/c_138763551.htm
Trump informed the Chinese that the U.S. had arrested three individuals in connection with the bioweapon attack on China, including 60-year old Dr. Charles Lieber, Harvard University Chairman of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology.

Sorry, but that is Communist Chinese BULL SHIFF!
The actual story is the virus went from the middle east (MER virus) to Canada to be studied.
Chinese agents STOLE that virus and sent it to the level 4 lab in Wuhan.
In Wuhan was a virologist studying BATS and their ability not to have symptoms from the viruses they harbor.

…In 2006, one of China’s preeminent virologists, Professor Zhengli Shi, co-authored the study, Review of Bats and SARS, concluding that “a SARS epidemic may recur in the future and that SARS-like coronaviruses (SL-CoVs) that originate from different reservoir host populations may lead to epidemics at different times or in different regions…. The recent discovery of a group of diverse SL-CoVs in bats support the possibility of these events….”

Of course the mullahs don’t want anybody to know anything about potential cases of the virus in Iran. It’s a power and control issue for them.
Think about this: women in Iran, since the mullahs took over in 1979, are forced to follow the Sharia Law dictates to “cover themselves”. The hijab, niqab, Anaya, are ALL garments that can potentially trap elements of the virus. Ditto for females in other Islam-dominated countries..

IF this report is true, it represents in my opinion a picture on the REAL situation in Communist China:
First, HUMAN LIFE IS CHEAP in Chinese history. Embedded deep in their culture for CENTURIES. Female newborns and deformed / not healthy newborns, have been “exposed” (put outside to die) for literally thousands of years.
Second, THE STATE, and loyalty to it, (whether the old Chinese Dynasties or the Communism that took over in 1949) are PARAMOUNT in their culture. Centuries of Chinese have been conditioned to accept whatever treatment the State metes out to them. However — in the current scenario, it is unclear whether the Chinese will accept ANOTHER mass murder of their people a la the 50 Million+ who died during the Cultural Revolution.
** Third, it appears that Beijing is now panicked about the virus — which means that ANY FIGURES GIVEN BY BEJING regarding the virus are WAY TOO LOW.
Fourth, if the West doesn’t “go along” with this planned mass murder, Beijing will find a way to blame the West for the ongoing worldwide spread of the virus.

Re the Gail Combs discussion on this topic, above —
There are Federal laws / EO’s / and other statutes, that, in essence, permit the President of the United States, as Commander-in-Chief, to basically abrogate the Constitution and Bill of Rights in a “do-or-die” situation involving the survival of the United States.
It would then appear that the United States military can indeed be used to enforce Federal quarantine / confiscation / evacuation / requisition / redistribution, of ANY and ALL goods and services in the U.S. — which would include PRIVATELY-HELD goods.
There are ALSO laws and statutes among the individual States that have to do with confiscation / quarantine / “hoarding”, in the event of a National Emergency being declared.
I will again raise the question as to whether the Federal or State government can confiscate / requisition, the stored goods within a Mormon household — their faith commands them to keep supplies for their households on hand for JUST A SITUATION AS THIS, to survive WITHOUT having to rely on anyone on the outside.

As Bloomberg notes, Carnival’s Diamond Princess cruise ship has become the biggest center of infection of any place outside of China. The Diamond Princess was placed under quarantine last week and checks were conducted after a passenger from Hong Kong who had been on the ship tested positive for the virus. The ship has become a case of concern because of the possibility of more infections in the vessel’s confined spaces, and the increased risks to elderly passengers.

Chinese SARS expert predicts coronavirus outbreak will end in April
Pulmonologist Zhong Nanshan says coronavirus deaths likely to peak by late February
https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3875222
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Renowned Chinese pulmonologist Zhong Nanshan (鍾南山) said Tuesday (Feb. 11) that the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) epidemic will reach its peak at the end of the month and will slowly die out by April.
During an interview with Reuters, the 83-year-old senior medical adviser to the Chinese government, who gained his fame in 2003 for combating the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic, shared his take on the current viral outbreak. He remains optimistic that the number of infections will soon descend despite the country already having more than 44,000 cases.
Zhong said that the peak of the outbreak should come “in mid or late February” based on mathematical models of the outbreak’s virulence and Chinese government measures. He confessed that the coronavirus has proven to be more contagious than medical experts predicted, but there is already a gradual reduction in viral infection numbers in several parts of the country.
When asked about the government’s response to the outbreak, Zhong said that the Wuhan government did a poor job in containing the virus and should take partial responsibility for the death toll. In regards to the passing Thursday (Feb. 6) of Chinese ophthalmologist and whistleblower Li Wenliang (李文亮), Zhong said that he was saddened by the news and encouraged more doctors in China to step forward and share the truth, reported the Liberty Times.

Per the Chiefio blog new dedicated Wuhan Coronavirus thread:
The virus now has a real name: SARS-CoV-2
The name for the sickness it causes is now called: COVID-19
It appears that the Ro (reproduction rate) of the virus is anywhere between 2.4 – 4.7 – 6.6.
An Ro of 4.7 – 6.6 is the equivalent to the reproduction rate for RUBELLA, POLIO, and SMALL POX.
http://www.medrxiv.org/ is a website for papers on investigations / research on the virus.
It appears that persons in various branches of the PLA are now either infected by the virus, or are in quarantine under observation.

It appears that AT LEAST 500 medical professionals in Wuhan are infected.
http://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3050077/least-500-wuhan-medical-staff-infected-coronavirus
And this:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/11/coronavirus-expert-warns-infection-could-reach-60-of-worlds-population
A 1% death rate from the virus, at a 60% world infection rate, would mean OVER 46MILLION deaths — in the same class as the worldwide death toll from the Great Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918-1920.
Granted, the state of medical advances in disease control and treatment is very different today as compared to 1918. However, research into this new virus is just starting, and the disease is spreading unchecked.

I posted this earlier on another comment thread today —
WHY can’t POTUS order that ALL AMERICANS aboard the Diamond Princess be taken by helicopter IMMEDIATELY to the nearest U.S. military hospital in Japan, located at YOKOSUKA??
The ENTIRE SHIP is a human biolab!

kalbokalbs

Naval Hospital Yokosuka, JA, more less than 25 miles from Yokohama. Ship anchored out as I understand it.
Dunno how many Americans are on the ship. Probably would need Japanese government permission to bring the Americans to the base. It is Japanese territory operating under SOFA – Status of Forces Agreement.
Anyway, Naval Hospital Yokosuka is not big. And I’d bet the hospital cannot take in all of the passengers in a safe manner for 1) the Americans on the cruise ship, 2) Hospital staff, 3) Americans on the base which is very densely populated with Aemrican families. AND 4) safety of Japanese employees.
There is probably an opportunity to do something barracks or another building of sorts. Nothing easy about this. BUT, something could be figured out. Where there is a will, there is a way.

kalbokalbs

Guam a far better choice for the Americans. Andersen AFB is huge. Naval facilities not so much. Something could be figured out.
The entire ship, passengers and crew, surely problematic. Americans only, could do it.

Let me guess … after noting that 35% of the Passengers were INFECTED,
• He took off his mask because the passengers couldn’t understand what he was saying.
• Then he handed each person the same clipboard with the survey questions.
• Japan allowed him to come ashore without going through quarantine.
Brilliant.

My opinion:
It would be well to have on hand, now, all supplies for the household for 3 – 6 months. This includes items to keep family members busy (board games / puzzles / books), plus materials to homeschool children.
And if, by Divine Providence, the supplies are not used, no harm is done — they can be saved for the hurricane / snowstorm down the road.
And keeping VERY tight-lipped regarding all the above — “nosy neighbors”, the cousins who “arrive” for a “visit” because they didn’t gather in anything for their own household, etc.
It may be well to have plans ready to “signal” household members at a moment’s notice to get home, in the event that one hears (either via social media, or by the Emergency Broadcast System, for example) — that your locality is being quarantined by federal or state order effective immediately.

“…..Bull$hit like this is unacceptable, causes mass panic…..”
Sorry butterfly, IT IS NOT BULL SHIFF!
1. During the Chinese New Year many Chinese FLY HOME to celebrate and then they come BACK TO THE USA. They are a tight knit group often from the same village.
2. Chinese with ties to China are more likely to use traditional medicine.
3. FLIGHTS FROM WUHAN WERE NOT LOCKED DOWN until much later.
With 60,000 flights from Wuhan, an average of 140 passengers per flight = 8,400,000 people.
HOW MANY of those people were carriers of the virus?
4. We will know in a week or two… IF the disease problem IS NOT HIDDEN. Remember the CLOSE DOOR MEETING between San Francisco politicians and the Chinese community???
I rather close down a possible infection site than bury most of our older folks. If needed they can be compensated with $$$. You can not rise grandpa and grandma from the dead.

If asymptomatic carriers are relatively common (like the British citizen who infected friends in a Swiss ski chalet) then we should in the next week or two start seeing outbreaks as those cases mature….

I was referring to this single incident which falsely targeted and perpetuated a rumor about ONE store causing unnecessary mass panic in a town of 6 million without any facts to back it up. It was BS.
BTW, is anyone tracking the travel ban timeline?? Wuhan was ordered on 1/23. So as of today, it’s been 21days, surely any of those who escaped the ban would be symptomatic by now. US implemented auto quarantine 1/31 of anyone coming from Wuhan. I hope someone’s keeping track of these stats from ALL of China’s International exodus.

The problem is the New Years celebration and the fact people from Wuhan beat feet out of the area. So flights from else where could have recently infected carriers.

Getting reasonably prepared to quarantine a significant number of people because of unknown exposure to the WuFlu would not be an overnight venture, and it is undoubtedly prudent to get things in place well ahead of time.
When you need facilities such as these, you need them NOW. Waiting for the need and then responding without prior preparations is a recipe for disaster.
All this tells us, on the negative side, is that they’re not ruling out the need for quarantine facilities.

Food for thought, the lock down of Wuhan China occurred on Jan 23 2020. The people that flew out just before the lockdown are now ( 41-23=18 days removed from Wuhan)
(assuming typical values and relatively asymptomatic patients)
If they had the typical incubation time of about 7 days, then they have been infectious now for about 11 days, and the people they contacted are now past their incubation time also and have been infectious for 4 days.
This map shows the 60,000 flights that left Wuhan in the period prior to lock down.

If asymptomatic carriers are relatively common (like the British citizen who infected friends in a Swiss ski chalet) then we should in the next week or two start seeing outbreaks as those cases mature to the clearly sick symptomatic stage that happens some 10 – 14 days after infection for most patients.
We will know in a few days, just like the Diamond Princess the secondary infections are about to start showing themselves as people get sick enough that they have to seek medical help.
Keep fingers crossed the case counts are small and are properly handled by the local medical authorities.

Heck if the scuttlebutt is true the Communist Party went to the Chinese courts for ‘permission’ to kill off 20,000 infected people in order to stop the epidemic and give the medicals relief.

Concerned Virginian

Gail Combs
Those 20,000 Chinese people “culled” by orders from Beijing, if true (and may well be the case) would then account for the approximately 20,000 person INCREASE in the “OFFICIAL” new figures given BY BEIJING to the CDC / WHO. etc.
Now — working from the figures given several days ago by workers at the 49 operating crematories IN WUHAN — one can posit that Beijing is UNDER STATING the TRUE figures of infected and died BY A FACTOR of 54,5 —
60,000 “official” infected divided by “official” deaths of 1100 (rounded up) = 54.545454…
Which would then mean that the TRUE figures would be:
3,270,000 infected (60,000 x 54.5)
And deaths would be:
59,950
Even IF these figures are too high, given that the empirical evidence (reports from MD’s in Wuhan medical facilities) of a 16% fatality rate, AND still using the “official” figures of infected from Beijing, one gets an ACTUAL death figure of 9,600 — 60,000 x 0.16 = 9600.
No matter how you slice it, Beijing IS LYING about the numbers of infected / dead / “recovered”.
And — FLASH! — the WHO has just demanded to know from Beijing WHY there is this “sudden jump” of infections from about 40,000 “official” to 60,000 “official”.

Wuhan Coronavirus (Covid19) Updates – US Quarantining Citizens NOW! How bad is it REALLY?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KgTy7-_cZg&feature=em-uploademail

Concerned Virginian

My opinion:
There are more and more disparate pieces of evidence that, when added up, represent an apparent set of information that is NOW KNOWN at the HIGHEST LEVELS of the United States government —
Why, all of a sudden, did DoD Sec. ESPER increase the number of U.S. military facilities being made ready / already in use, for isolation or Quarantine, of U.S. citizens, from 4 bases to 11 bases?
Why did the US Fire Administration send out a directive regarding how to deal with the Wuhan Coronavirus in terms of First Responders / firefighters?
Why did the CDC issue directives to U.S. employers about how to get ready to respond to a Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic being declared in the United States?
Why did LA County issue a directive to all First Responders about how to deal with Wuhan Coronavirus when responding to an emergency call?
Why did the Defense Department issue a directive to the U.S. Northern Command to all branches regarding preparing for a Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak in the United States? (DoD 3551-13)
It would appear that these levels of government seem to know information that is DIFFERENT from what the general public is being told.
If this is so, it would then be reasonable to FINISH TO COMPLETION quite soon, the gathering of household supplies, finalization of action plans, and other preparations, for what may be coming faster than anybody thought.

bakocarl

I didn’t keep the refernce, but if I remember it correctly, the Ro of the WuFlu is now thought to be from 4 to about 6. That’s a very high growth rate. If that’s so, when members of the general population start getting this flu, it will spread rapidly. So, we will need an ample supply of facilities where we can isolate exposed people and people that may have been exposed.
This is clearly a situation where it’s better to develop an excess capability that may not ever be used as opposed to being caught short.
Also, a very useful data point would be the capacity of each of these facilities. At 200 apiece, they would probably be inadequate. At 20,000 apiece, then . . . ??? I really don’t know, but I’ll come down on the side of over preparation.

kalbokalbs

It appears that the Ro (reproduction rate) of the virus is anywhere between 2.4 – 4.7 – 6.6.
An Ro of 4.7 – 6.6 is the equivalent to the reproduction rate for RUBELLA, POLIO, and SMALL POX.

New paper estimating R0 for COVID-19
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.07.20021154v1

…we estimated that the number of infected individuals during early epidemic double every 2.4 days, and the R0 value is likely to be between 4.7 and 6.6. We further show that quarantine and contact tracing of symptomatic individuals alone may not be effective and early, strong control measures are needed to stop transmission of the virus….

I have heard several references that the tests are unreliable, I think the protocol is to take 3 different swabs, nasal, throat and one other but not positive it is rectal.
Some of the doctors said they had to test some patients 2-3 times to get a positive test on patients who were clearly sick.

If the true R0 value for 2019-nCoV is between 4.7 and 6.6 that puts it in the same catagory as polio, rubella and small pox for comparison.

Ah, yes. The CDC has got this situation well under control!
https://www.thedailybeast.com/brewing-coronavirus-mutiny-at-california-marine-base-slams-cdc-response
FTA – “Evacuees from the epicenter of the new, deadly coronavirus under quarantine at a Marine Corps base in San Diego veered toward revolt on Wednesday after U.S. officials admitted to mistakenly releasing an infected patient back into the group.”
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
A “petition asks that “everyone in the facility be tested;” that the evacuees be given masks and disinfectants; that hand sanitizers be available in public areas, including a playground; that they not be forced to gather in large groups; that town hall meetings be conducted via conference call; and that public areas be regularly disinfected throughout the day.”
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
“The CDC’s current working assumption is the virus won’t spread until symptoms develop,” the petition says. “However, we strongly disagree with using that assumption as the basis against broader testing.”
“The CDC did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast on Wednesday.”
“Everyone who reads about these intensive CDC screenings doesn’t realize that we aren’t even being tested,” said Wilson. “The screenings are a huge joke: temperature check and are you symptomatic. That’s it.”
“Though people on both of the flights that arrived in San Diego last week were split in two groups upon arrival, Wilson said they all gathered together for meals, meetings, and temperature checks.
“The first three days that we were here, we had no luggage and had no change of clothes and weren’t able to do laundry,” he said. “We’re required to go out three to four times a day from our rooms to get fed and have our temperature taken.”
“We’re trying our best to disinfect things with the hand soap that we’ve been given, even though we don’t have disinfectant,” Wilson added. “We’re frustrated and worried.”
Wilson said other evacuees were told that the infected woman “had no close contacts,” but that such a claim begged the question, “Who was she sitting next to for 12 hours on the flight? If sitting next to somebody shoulder-to-shoulder and talking to them for 12 hours doesn’t count as a close contact, then what does?”

Early Release / February 7, 2020 / 69

All 210 persons who were tested were symptomatic:
143 (68%) had subjective fever or a measured temperature ≥100.4°F (≥38°C), and 189 (90%) had cough or shortness of breath. Upper respiratory tract symptoms (i.e., sore throat, rhinorrhea, or congestion) were common and were present in nine persons who did not have cough or shortness of breath.
[ 30 ] Thirty persons were reported to test positive for another respiratory viral pathogen, including influenza or respiratory syncytial virus.
[ 42 ] Forty-two (20%) patients were hospitalized, and
[ 4 ] four (2%) were admitted to an intensive care unit.
[ 1 ] One patient was deceased at the time of notification; testing for this person was negative, and an alternative cause of death was established.
Travel-related risk was identified for 148 (70%) persons, 42 (20%) had close contact with ill patients with laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV infection or PUIs, 18 (9%) had both travel- and contact-related risks, and two (<1%) had possible contact with a laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV patient and were therefore tested.
Among the 210 persons tested, 11 (5%) were found to have 2019-nCoV infection.
Nine of these persons had traveled to Wuhan City; two persons had not traveled but had been in close contact with patients with laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV in the United States.
All were symptomatic with fever (subjective or measured) or cough.

So they are not testing until AFTER symptoms appear and they are not making any attempt to protect those in quarantine. 🙄

“All 210 persons who were tested were symptomatic” but only 11 had WuFlu. But WuFlu sometimes takes several tests before it is detected even in symptomatic patients. How much do you want to bet that some of those patients also had some other ailment WITH WuFlu? It just didn’t show up on the test.

So monitoring Twitter. Yesterday people were chatting/confused as it seems Wuhan has ordered everyone to go back to work on 2/14. There are notices posted with dos/don’ts. Will see tomorrow what happens. Today there are videos of workers sitting at desks/computers with heads down as guy in hazmat suit walks around spray blasting disinfectant all over the room. There’s also a photo of Xi addressing a group about getting back to work to help the economy. It’s outside, no telling where. Then you have Gordon Chang telling us that Shanghai internet is down, followed by government announcements that Shanghai travel ban is now in place. Now this bit of propaganda. China is more worried about their economy which must be in the toilet, than health of their citizens. No surprise there. But to hell with them and their DEMANDS that the world come get sick and die with them!!

Back when Nixon opened the door to Red China, I worried about supply chain issues, especially with regard to strategic items (military supply chain, infrastructure, etc.). People thought I was crazy (OK, they still do, but for different reasons 😛 ) I could scream when I think of the shipyards that used to be up by Richmond that pumped out ships seemingly on a daily basis, with their HUGE marine cranes and other equipment; then looking at the WilliBrown™ erection known as the replacement span on the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge, built with Chinese materials, Chinese tooling, Chinese workers, Chinese “tech”, and, worst of all, Chinese “Quality”… I used to drive the Cypress structure every day, and often the Embarcadero Freeway as well, and I’d rank both of them as a better risk in an earthquake than that cheap Chinese $#!+ 😡 😡 😡
I’ve heard over here in Europe that our antibiotic supply is facing shortages… Time to break out that bread mold, I guess…

bakocarl

“What must these people be going through?” That actually hit me a little hard this morning. If you don’t look at the bureaucrat Commies, but instead think of the average Joe with his family, the impact in many, many cases is horrendous.
Being carted off to a WuFlu concentration camp to die of WuFlu when you only have a slight fever from fluA is a mind gripping thought . . . and then your family gets hauled off with you because they had contact with you, not because they have any symptoms.
Not good to think too deeply about this. Instead . . . pray.

Reinfection and up to 6 false negatives while infecting others . . . more great newa! /s
Chinese doctors say Wuhan coronavirus reinfection even deadlier
Instead of creating immunity the virus can reportedly reinfect an individual and hasten fatal heart attack
By Jules Quartly, Taiwan News, 2020/02/14 15:02
Coronavirus
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — It’s possible to get infected by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a second time, according to doctors on the frontline in China’s city of Wuhan, leading to death from heart failure in some cases.
The claim is made by doctors working in the Hubei Province capital that is at the center of the epidemic, which has to date infected 64,201 people and killed 1,487. One of the doctors reached out to a relative living in the United Kingdom, who then informed Taiwan News.
Both the relative and doctors asked to remain anonymous, out of consideration they might face retribution from the Chinese authorities. The doctor, Li Wenliang (李文亮), who first raised warnings about the Wuhan virus, was rebuked by the authorities before succumbing to the devastating disease himself earlier this month.
According to the message forwarded to Taiwan News, “It’s highly possible to get infected a second time. A few people recovered from the first time by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart tissue, and when they get it the second time, the antibody doesn’t help but makes it worse, and they die a sudden death from heart failure.”
The source also said the virus has “outsmarted all of us,” as it can hide symptoms for up to 24 days. This assertion has been made independently elsewhere, with Chinese pulmonologist Zhong Nanshan (鍾南山) saying the average incubation period is three days, but it can take as little as one day and up to 24 days to develop symptoms.
Also, the source said that false negative tests for the virus are fairly common. “It can fool the test kit – there were cases that they found, the CT scan shows both lungs are fully infected but the test came back negative four times. The fifth test came back positive.”
According to the BBC and other media outlets, some laboratory tests are incorrectly telling people they are virus-free. There is also anecdotal evidence of people having up to six negative results before being diagnosed correctly.
Dr. Li Wenliang first raised concerns about this. His own test results had come back negative multiple times before he was finally diagnosed.
False negative tests raise question marks over how many people have the Wuhan coronavirus, with many believing the Chinese authorities have massively underreported the number of cases and deaths. Meanwhile, the official methodology for diagnosing the virus in China was changed this week, leading to a sudden leap in the number of recorded cases and deaths.

China National Biotec Group announced on Thursday evening that virus-neutralising antibodies had been detected in the plasma of patients who have recovered from Covid-19, and experiments have proven they can effectively kill the virus, according to a Beijing News report on Friday.
The company said it had successfully prepared the plasma for clinical treatment after strict blood biological safety testing, virus inactivation and antiviral activity testing. The plasma had been used to treat 11 patients in critical condition, with significant results, it said.

Of course, given that the time between exposure and the appearance of symptoms can be as short as 1 day, the guy could easily have caught the bug in Hawaii.

28 January to 13 February is 17 days. You are correct, the person could have been exposed to the Wuhan Coronavirus on 28 January in HAWAII.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Let us take these numbers as reliable (even though, I don’t think either one of us does).
There are a certain number of cases that have played their way through to the endgame, and we can use those to look at what the outcome seems to be (without having to do in depth analysis of past data). These people are all at the end point of what the disease do to them, and so:
8576 people have had the disease, and no longer have it.
Of them, 1374 died of it.
That tells ME that the poor people who still have it have a 16 percent (close to 1 in 6) chance of dying. Roll a one through five, you live, roll a six, you die.

We commonly read the Corona incubation period is 3-14 days. Can be one day. Can be up to 24 days.

“The novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a recently emerged human pathogen…we estimated that the number of infected individuals during early epidemic double every 2.4 days, and the Ro value is likely to between 4.7 and 6.6.”
As I stated previously ;
An Ro factor of between 4.7 and 6.6 IS EQUIVALENT to the Ro factors for POLIO and SMALLPOX.
There is an effective vaccine for POLIO. SMALLPOX has ben eradicated in almost ALL modern countries.
There is NO vaccine for the Wuhan Coronavirus, and research into effective treatment is just starting.

November 27, 2017: Homeless people defecating on LA streets fuels horror hepatitis outbreak, as city faulted

….An outbreak of hepatitis A is spreading through Los Angeles County after leaping from a large homeless contingent in San Diego, threatening thousands of people and fueling criticism that local officials have not done enough to contain the deadly liver disease.
Hundreds of cases have turned up in southern California as well as Michigan — but conditions in Los Angeles, where roughly 50,000 people live on the streets, have prompted deeper concerns.
Reports compiled by volunteer organizations have faulted city officials for not providing enough accessible toilets as the homeless population sharply increased by 23 percent this year.
In a prescient warning, a June 2017 report by a collection of nonprofits called the LA Central Providers Collaborative sounded the alarm about crowding and living conditions on Skid Row….

A week or two ago I posted That I shipped three cargo boxes (18″ x 20″ x 24) to the Philippines. At the time I wondered IF regular shipping times and or ports would be effected by Corona.
– The boxes, which are stuffed in 20′ TEU / containers and loaded on a ship that sails from Oakland, CA.
– Normally the 20′ TEU cross deck, change ships in Kaohsiung, TW or Hong Kong. Then sail onto Manila or Subic Bay, Philippines.
To my SURPRISE . The 20′ TEU are reported in South Korea. My guess, Piusan. Or as many say Busan.
Over the years, I have easily shipped 150 boxes. The 20′ TEUs are always cross decked in Kaohsiung, TW or Hong Kong. As indicated above, South Korea this time. NOT a coincidence, me thinks.
MOAR evidence shipping in China is hosed.
MY POINT IS STOCK UP on anything made in China. It’ll be months before China is functional again, if ever. The latter as alternate sources will be, and are being pursued by all good capitalists.

I have wondered if the 2nd time infections were maybe relapses instead. And maybe that was indication of releasing people too soon. It seemed odd to me that with the virus being so new and most of the “recovered” only recovering recently that they people would have had time to completely recover and then catch it again and die.
And are the heart attacks/failure due to the meds weakening the heart or the virus weakening the heart? If meds, which meds?

MAGA Mom

Maybe we need to reminder ourselves to not think that because your symptoms are gone, your illness is 100% gone with this virus. But this is Always true with other viruses too! How many times do the symptoms go away from a flu/cold/gen. virus and we think we are fine, try to jump back into life only to have a relapse?
I explain to my son to think of our virus/infection/germs as our body doing battle and they are the enemy. Just because the majority of the enemy are defeated to the point that victory is obvious and even assured, we do not turn our back on the enemy and stop fighting. We have to finish the fight, the war, until victory and the enemy is defeated. If we do turn our back on the enemy, disengage, stop the fighting/actions that were taking us to victory the enemy will often then regroup and resurge, gaining back ground, inflicting harm and forcing us to fight much harder than when we almost had them defeated.
Same viruses/illnesses. Just because symptoms dissipate or even completely disappear, we are actually still going through the illness, our bodies are still battling and we must still act is if we are sick in many ways.
Son just had a virus. Made him cont. herbal teas, essential oils, low activity (no exercise, punching bag, martial arts, anything that made his body work too hard but did send him on several leisurely walks with the dog for some fresh air and sunshine while well bundled), healthy food, no sugar, plenty of ferment, homemade broth, and resting periods.
Plus No time in the general public for 2 full days after temperature completely normal because a) he could still be shedding the virus and b) his immune system is down and I don’t want him to catch anything else.
So, when symptoms are gone: yes, to more housework and yes, to more school work but all the rest stays almost the same as if he were sick for several more days as his body finishes up the fight.
How much of that time we need to “recover” is us just still being sick just not as sick? And yes, the body Does need time to build back up but it might also still be getting rid of whatever it was that made you sick in the first place.
Kind of like a graph with the peak of the number of active “enemies” in our body when we feel the worst and have the most symptoms and then the line plotting the level of “enemies” slides below acute systems, continues to fall even below the line of visible and physically felt symptoms …. but the line charting the active “enemies”/bacteria/”germs” is not yet at Zero. Until at Zero or close to it, we still must cont being aware they are there, even if we don’t stay in bed at that point. Keep aiding your body, keep your exposure to other germs low and we need to do our best to not have a relapse as relapse of this virus is terribly hard on the body.

“…That said, all numbers being reported are estimates at best with errors. How large and which direction are not currently known and may never be known. Viral testing is rather crude right now, compared to bacterial testing, for instance. You want screening tests to err on the side of sensitivity, risking false positives. You want confirmatory tests to err on the side of specificity, risking false negatives. Take any paper revolving around Bayes factors or p-values with a large grain of salt; especially if they’re lacking proper error analysis and propagation.”

EPIDEMIC TRENDS ANALYSIS AND RISK ESTIMATION OF 2019-NCOV OUTBREAK
Abstract
Background: Since the outbreak of coronaviruses on December 8, 2019, the spread of new coronaviruses is increasing. With no specific medicine, analysis of epidemic trends is critical for disease control and epidemic risk management. Methods: We collected information on demographic characteristics, exposure history, and illness timelines of laboratory-confirmed cases of NCIP that had been reported by Feburary 6, 2020.
Considering the huge population migration during the spring festival of China, a Flow-SEIR model is proposed to perform empirical analysis. Assuming that most of people will go back to work from February 10 to the end of February, the risk of the coming migration from home to workplace is defined and estimated, based on the confirmed cases and the Spring Festival migration data. We use data from Baidu Migration to estimate the coming migration for returning to the workplace after vacation from February 10 to 28, 2020.
The risk of migration for returning was then estimated. Main findings:
(1). The time when the number of daily new cases has reached a peak level, i.e. the national epidemic inflection point, is expected to be on February 7 – February 9.
After the inflection point, the number of infected people will grow slowly and the epidemic will be gradually controlled.
We define the temporal number of infected cases as the net cumulative number of cases. And the peak value represents the maximum of the net cumulative number, after this peak point, the current number of cases will gradually decrease and the epidemic will gradually subside.
The predicted peak value of confirmed cases in Hubei can reach 62800 (56900 – 70300, 0.95 CI). The peak time in Hubei is on February 29 (Feb. 25 – Mar. 08, 0.95 CI). The peak arrival time of areas except Hubei will be in the interval of Mar.8 – Mar. 15, 2020.
It will take about 1.5-2 months from the peak to the end of the epidemic. Most provinces have the predicted peak values less than 1000. The potential epidemic situation will be stable in March 2020- June 2020.
(2). Rather than larger outbreak, the estimated number of infective patients in Hubei (in which Wuhan is located) presents a front and steep feature, manifesting the overall trend that the epidemic tends to be consistent.
(3). The necessary consciousness of self-protection and isolation is very effective for epidemic prevention and control. It can reduce the number of patients by nearly 90%. The effect of self-protection and isolation is stronger than the policy of traffic blockage. Provincial level traffic blockage can only alleviate 21.06% – 22.38% of the peak number of patients.
(4). Early warning of epidemic situation is very important.In the experimental environment, the results show that if there is 1 day in advance of the timely urban blockage, about 3600 people will eventually be reduced in the country. If there is 1 day of delay, about 1800 people will finally be at risk.
(5). Assuming that the false negative rate is 50% and the potential transmission rate is 1-4 times higher than that of the confirmed patients, the real peak number of patients is likely to be between 214400-472500.
Suppose that the transmission rate of the false negative patient is twice that of the confirmed patient, if the false negative rate decreased by 5% in one week, the peak number of patients will slow down by 11.62%. If the proportion decreased by 10% in one week, the peak number of patients will decreased by 21.91%, which shows timely detection of false negative population is more effective for epidemic control.
(6). Under the natural condition, the return of Spring Festival transportation will aggravate the epidemic situation, especially for Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hunan, Henan, Shanghai, Fujian and Beijing. We did not perform the global propagation of 2019-nCoV because that the available initial data is not sufficient to make valuable conclusions.

NOT discounting the potential disaster, Corona could become here in US. Reflecting on Johns Hopkins numbers. IF, my math is correct…(and formatting holds in WP)
Cases %
All 69,267 100
Mainland China 68,508 98.90
NOT Mainland China 759 1.10
Cruise Ship 355 0.51
Other 404 0.58
US only 15 0.02
Suspicious eye also maintaining focus on:
– A few thousand in official US quarantine.
– Another few thousand in US self monitor.
Based on above, LUCK and USG response thus far, likelihood of Corona crisis in US far lower than I initially thought, a couple weeks ago
– Have prepared masks, gloves, goggles, cleaning stuff in event they are required. EASY for our household to self quarantine as a preventive measure if the need arises.
Moar realistically, my primary focus, IS now on stuff we assumed from China would always be available. AND likely won’t be available.
– Meds and OTC will be maintained six months.
– Other stuff including food, maintained at three months. Can ramp up easily to six months IF US based Corona cases take a serious foot hold in US.
100% throughout each day, I’ll be reading this thread absorbing folks posts and insights. Daily reads will continue to be Larry, Johns Hopkins, South China News, Taiwan News, Straits Times… At a minimum, supply chain and logistics disruptions will be part of our lives.
Again, not taking my eye off of Corona. Simply lowering my perceived Corona threat level.

MAGA Mom

You mentioned food stuff from China…based on their issues of quality control and that the virus has now been loose for 6-8 weeks, do you want food from China even if the flow is not disrupted?
Better of buy food manufactured in US or Mexico or anywhere but China! Not just for the various but as an ongoing norm. Even when they do maintain quality control, they hide issues including in food and even in Baby Food & Formula!
We avoid anything that is for our intake made in China

kalbokalbs

My poor communication skills. displayed..
No, I don’t stock food from China. I buy the stuff typically found in COSTCO, Walmart and Smith’s (local supermarket).
My reference to food is separate from sourcing from China. I was NOT clear.
From China stuff – six month stock. Prescriptions, OTC…
OTHER stuff, mainly food, three months. Easily expanded to six months is Corona hits the fan in US OR panic shortages appear to become a reality.
Agree, China is NOT my source for food.

With regard to food from/in China, and farming thereof, Chiefio (E.M.Smith) has an interesting comment at https://chiefio.wordpress.com/2020/02/16/16-feb-2019-ncov-sars-cov-2-covid-19-corona-virus-outbreak/#comment-125040
(The comment is a reply in a subthread, as it were, about RNA replication being a tad sloppy, etc. Seems Chinese “farming” is horridly unsafe).

THE big problem with attributing source, ANY source, is that RNA Virus replication is sloppy (thus the frequent recombinations requiring a new flu vaccine each year) and can often cross species.
So you find it looks just like a bit in Pangolin. Did they get it from snuffling bat droppings? Did bats get it from eating fruit where a pangolin shat? Or sneezed? Some bit matches some other bit from a lab: was a lab worker sloppy so “caught it” but didn’t notice, then sneezed while shopping for live food, and it went home with the unsold stock that evening (then to the farm population then into the wild, where it recombined into a new coronavirus).
Parts just do not stay put in RNA viruses. They do not replicate perfectly either, so mutate fast. Especially in mixed species populations. Part of why new flu tends to come from Asia is that they farm pigs in pens over water so their waste fertilizes the water, then ducks are raised on the pond. Rapid virus cycling from birds to pigs to people and back, gives rapid recombination with other virus types in the various hosts. Then the successful one can hitch a ride on migratory birds to the rest of the world.
Similarly, an exotic food animal dealer can have live stock of pangolin and bats housed near each other, sharing… (Chinese have an obsession with “fresh” that verges on the absurd. One fish dish has the chef grasp the head in a towel and deep fry the body, delivering it to the diner with the head still alive and gill plates moving…)
In that context, with mixed live populations of exotic animals all over the place, trying to ascribe the path through the populations via one viral segment is a bit silly, and even 90-something % just hints at the first link, not the path.
Virus populations are more like a stew of mystery parts than a steak of one thing. Then the Chinese animal practices give that stew lots of opportunities to jump species.
So did the lab worker who was bat bit have “fresh” pangolin for dinner the night before and gave something new to the bats? Did the guy who slaughtered that bat later get the new mix in bat blood on his clothes? Or did they just go buy some live bats from the “fresh” food market that had them caged next to the pangolin?
Messy? Yup. That’s the context for trying to sort out the path.

I forgot to bold parts of these two paragraphs which absolutely horrify me. So much for Chinese food:

Concerned Virginian

Regarding gathering in supplies:
In my opinion, it is time to have this accomplished AND household action plans in place, by the end of February.
A 3 month gathering the minimum — better to have 6 months.
Water is imperative — think about what the household would do about water if the local water utility is shut down for some reason — like a virus loose in the system? It is NOT without the realm of possibility, given that the virus can be transmitted via toilet use / flushing; or by an infected person spitting into a sink and then running water..
If one has Subscriptions of food staples / paper products / OTC items, etc., from places like Amazon — perhaps time to double up on them and have them in hand.
And over in WUHAN, per @globaltimesnews
The Communist Chinese government, apparently not content with (or perhaps now in near-panic mode over) the virus, has decreed that NO private cars may be on the roads unless the vehicle is “designated for use” in fighting the disease.

Gail Combs

kalbokalbs,
The Coronavirus in China vs the USA are Apples and Oranges.
This is just my take:
The lethal aspect of the virus is the attack against deep lungs.
The Chinese, esp. the men are heavy smokers. China is very crowded. China is notorious for the heavy air pollution. ALL three of these factors will increase the transmission and increase the likelihood of severe illness/death.
On top of that we in the USA are forewarned. Hopefully the hospitals are on the alert and also we have now found methods for alleviating the symptoms.
Last viruses mutate fast and it is likely the virus will mutate into a less lethal form.
This does not mean we should not plan ahead to protect ourselves and lessen our exposure.

I think this is KEY to how sick a person gets:
We know from Asbestosis that cigarette smoking makes it much much worse. The reason is smoking damages the cillia, the hairs in the lungs that remove foreign particles.
Cilia Dysfunction in Lung Disease

The ciliated and secretory cells are the first line of defense against inhaled pathogens and particulates. This includes tight junctions linking the cells, providing a physical barrier; receptors that sense the environment signaling the cells to secrete defense-related molecules in response to inhaled pathogens, particulates and xenobiotics; and importantly, the mucociliary escalator, a layer of fluid and mucins lining the epithelium that functions to clean the airways by moving continuously from the lower respiratory tract cephalad, where it is insensibly swallowed (2–4). The effectiveness of the mucociliary escalator depends on hydration, mucins produced by secretory cells and on the coordinated function of the ciliated cells that provides the force and direction of the escalator (4). When there is dysfunction of the mucociliary escalator, the defenses of the epithelium are markedly weakened, resulting in lung disease…..
Cigarette Smoking
Smoking has long been recognized to suppress mucociliary clearance in most smokers and there is documented slowing of mucociliary clearance immediately after smoking cigarettes (93, 94). Individuals with bronchitis have reduced mucociliary clearance (95). Smoking cessation improves measurements of nasal mucociliary clearance compared to baseline values obtained prior to smoking cessation (96).
Examination of the airway ciliated cells of both male and female smokers shows patches of atypical nuclei and missing cilia (97). These abnormalities increase with increasing intensity of smoking behavior, and are more frequent in smokers using high tar/nicotine cigarettes (98). Smoking induces expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in ciliated cells, which may shift basal cell fate toward a squamous phenotype and suppress ciliated cell differentiation (99). Healthy smokers have shorter cilia in the large and small airways compared to nonsmokers, with further shortening observed in smokers with COPD (49, 50). Smoking is associated with suppression of a number of genes in the airway epithelium, likely contributing to slowing the process of regenerating cilia….
Environmental Pollutants
Several studies link environmental exposure to airborne pollutants to cilia abnormalities and dysfunction. Nasal biopsies from Mexico City residents exposed to high levels of air pollution showed patches of short cilia and regions of cilia loss (119). Healthy nonsmokers exposed to ozone at 0.4 ppm or sulfur dioxide at 0.75 ppm showed no abnormalities in cilia structure assessed in nasal samples, though experimental animals exposed to substantially higher concentrations of ozone (4 ppm) demonstrated blebbing and vesiculation of ciliary membranes as well as disruption of trachea cilia structure (120). Exposure of cultured human bronchial epithelial cells to diesel exhaust particles, but not to NO2, reduces cilia beat frequency (121). Compounds present in indoor air pollution, including formaldehyde, acrolein, and ammonia have effects on cilia beating and structure as well as mucus flow (122). Workplace exposures have also been linked to cilia dysfunction, including cadmium (reduced cilia beat frequency), nickel (reduced cilia beat frequency, cell damage and disorganized cilia), hairspray (reduced mucociliary clearance in the nose and trachea of hairdressers), and wood dust (decreased nasal mucociliary clearance and loss of ciliated epithelium) (122)….

Absolutely with you. I believe we we forewarned enough, with China locking down cities / provinces, air traffic was curtailed fast enough to limit exposure to those having been in Wuhan recently…
With continued luck, Corona in the States will be very limited and hospitals will be prepared.
After we read for days that guys were getting Corona at very high rates, was relieved to learn the connection to smokers.
Certainly will remain vigilant throughout each day for quite awhile.

“Maybe a lab release is not so far fetched after all.”

According to an earlier Xinhua report, a draft of a biosecurity law was submitted to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee for review in October.
The draft focused on protecting the security of China’s biological resources, and preventing and prohibiting the use of biological agents or biotechnology that may harm national security, the report said. It also addressed issues such as prevention of emerging infectious diseases and epidemics, and biosecurity at laboratories, making public health part of national security.

There are a string of articles which provide the Hong Kong perspective and a view into China as well.
One thing immediately stood out when i looked at the total figures for numbers infected by country : Japan with 407 cases is the second highest after Mainland China. I suspect that the Japanese are VERY worried about the risks of this disease becoming established in Japan. And most of these patients are from the quarantined cruse ship in Yokohama.”

kalbokalbs

Perhaps compounding the Corona issue for Japan, IIRC, folks on the cruise ship with confirmed Corona ARE moved to Japanese hospitals.
38 million folks live in greater Tokyo area, which includes Yokohama.
Additionally, from Yokohama:
– USN ships at Yokosuka is 10 miles south.
– USAF at Yokota 35 miles northwest.
– USN air Atsugi and US Army Camp Zama 20 miles west.
FWIW, much of Japan’s population IS elderly, and the guys are chain smokers.
Japan has much to be concerned with regarding Corona.
US DoD and DoS surely paying attention.

MAGA Mom

Sharing some of my favorite shopping places:
this is an herb/tea store in East Nashville. Their prices are reasonable and the quality seems good. They are knowledgeable …. and they are absolutely leftist, hippy/dippy types. However, I shop there and we enjoy some of their products as a treat and are glad to have a regional (we aren’t in Nash) place to buy in person when we want just a little bit of something. I don’t feel very comfortable and don’t really like my son to be there as there are all types of people and they look at us suspiciously as we do not fit in + Trump bumper stickers.
there blends are Wonderful and very reasonably priced. I make 1 mason jar with 1 of their packets. 12 packets come in each bag for $13.50. I will usually make a 2nd jar but it is much weaker, of course. Or make 2 jars and then combine the packets for a 3rd jar. Anyway, their packets are Much bigger than one buys in the little tea bags for 1 cup of tea. Pour hot water in your mason jar and immediately screw on the lid and let steep to get the most out of your herbs. Esp. hot water if roots are in the blend.
they do ship and I am probably going to place an order as not going to Nash and $14 in shipping is cheaper and easier than the gas it would take…but hate $14 in shipping! oh well
We like porcupine as one of our favorites but use a number of their blends.
https://highgardentea.com/product-category/herbal-infusions/
I order several brands from amazon &/or vitacost.com depending on who has the better price. I like traditional medicinals (throat coat is a favorite) and Numi.
Mountain Rose always has good quality but prices are a little higher and shipping is on the high side as well.
I go in with a friend and split things so we get a better deal but I don’t have as much product.
herbs are light so 1/2 lb of something you don’t use very often can actually be a waste v. saving $.
I have not had things we use often go bad or spoil. I keep them in sealed in the bags they came & then in a plastic food bucket with the lids screwed on tightly. Most of the time the buckets are cold to cool but in the summer they do get hot as my only storage for them is the garage. Some day a root cellar…some day.
Anyway, all of their stuff is more expensive than bulkherbstore used to be and the nashville shop is so I only buy there what I can’t buy elsewhere.
*https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/
I used to LOVE this store. It was a TN business. Only ordered online. never went in person. the family sold it and it is now out of Missouri. I haven’t ordered since they changed hands. Blends and product are good with good pricing and fast customer service. The variety is much less now so I guess I will need to order more from Mtn. Rose.
https://www.bulkherbstore.com/
Lastly, we have had a Great experience with Buttlerfly express for essential oils and other products. Good quality, customer service and competitive pricing.
buttlerflyexpress.net
We only drink teas that are organic and absent of “natural flavorings”. I would love to hear from you all where you source your products and vitamins/supplements too.
quality and price are both so important.
As to other things – we are looking around the house and trying to think about what consumables we use that might run low if supply chains are messed up due to China or wuhan flu going global.
TP is made in the US but still stocking up a little extra. Dog & cat food made in US but still stocking up. Why? We aren’t sure if all of the ingredients/materials are US sourced. Also, thinking about toiletries but they are US made too. Trying to think ahead….

A couple years ago I wanted some Gunpowder green tea and I could not find it locally. So Hubby went online and decided to buy at the ‘free shipping’ quantity = 5 Kilos!! That is 11 POUNDS of loose tea.
So I took each 1 Kilo box, wrapped it in saran wrap, taped it and then wrapped it in aluminum foil and taped it again. Four boxes I stuffed into the back of the freezer. The last box I divided up and placed in mason jars. Taped the lids with stretchy electrical tape and stuffed all but one into the back of the freezer. I am finally on the last jar from the first box and I drink that tea as iced tea all summer long.

Butterfly, Me thinks we are OK.
Yes, folks may be getting screened. Something to note, but not alarming. IMO. Actually, a really, really good thing, the screening.
Diagnosed Corona? No. I don’t think so. They gotta release that information.
No one wants Corona to get a foothold and spread here in the US.
Bottom line, Buffalo videos above much ado about nothing…baseless hype.
AND, yes, health, medical, fire and police ARE preparing for Corona problems. Including protocol, what information can and should be released. Fundamentally, we ALL are preparing to varying degrees for Corona, AND shortages in stores.

🦋🤸‍♀️🦋bflyjesusgrl🦋🤸‍♀️🦋

Agreed. Something about the guy in the video, I detected an “attitude”. I would like more sources to back up his claims. I don’t see how 700 Chinese students came in 45 days ago w/o the Govt knowing. Azar has assembled quite a team of top notch experts, including DHS and they’re on top of the situation. The only thing that concerns me is we’re talking about NY, the state that is uncooperative w/POTUS. Would they be so stupid as to implement a gag order to try and hide this from the Feds??? To somehow Try to damage POTUS politically?? Don’t trust Fredo’s Dad,, not one bit.

kalbokalbs

Nor do I trust Fredo, or his corrupt Dad.
BUT, health care workers are NOT going to hide verified Corona. NOT going to happen. IF a “gag” regarding confirmed Corona was directed by “officials” that would leak in a millisecond…would not be tolerated.
The 700 hundred students, don’t know about the number. Nor does it bother me, except I wish they, whether it was one student or 700 were NOT attending our Universities.
FWIW, my son attend UNR – University of Nevada, Reno. he told me there were plenty of Chinese, (NOT Americans) attending UNR. They hang together and don’t seem to assimilate with the general student body. That is his impression anyway. Thankfully he is always apart from their circles. AND, no doubt some of them went home to China for the holidays.

Remember the MS WESTERDAM, the cruise ship that docked at Sihanoukville in Cambodia, and from which OVER 1,000 passengers were RELEASED TO LEAVE? That was last Sunday.
Well, it now appears that the authorities are desperately trying to LOCATE these people, because one of them , an AMERICAN, had a TEMPERATURE at being scanned on arrival at the KUALA LUMPUR airport, and then tested POSITVE for the virus.
Knowing now that the prime incubation period for the virus, which MAY OR MAY NOT present symptoms, is 16 days, these 1,000 people, EVEN IF they are “cleared” at the moment, are still potential carriers.

Every once in awhile we read up to 24 days. Slow guy here can’t figure out IF 24 is in play. 16 days in above post? Moar commonly I read 14 days.

bakocarl

To give a reading on what may be in store fore us, I’m still waiting for some pockets of WuFlu to appear in some advanced, non-Asian countries . . . and then to closely watch the spread or eradication of that pocket.
Less pollution, less smoking, fewer ACE-2 receptors, and better awareness of isolation, quarantine, and medical treatment strategies should all combine to reduce the spread and severity of the cases.
To what degree? Well, that’s what I’m watching for.

kalbokalbs

Yea! Your point is what I tried to allude to yesterday, albeit rather clumsily.
Looking for the trip wire to be tripped. For me, guessing it could be Australia, Canada or US. We may get the opportunity as US folks flown in from China and presently in quarantine on US military bases. in time they’ll be released.
Moar likely the 1,000 or so “self monitoring” in LA area as I recall, are a potential for problems.
.
.
Until the above becomes a problem or fades in likelihood, my primary focus is stocking stuff that will be in low supply as China logistics largely ceased, guessing, about four weeks ago.

*https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/us-health-officials-announce-second-case-of-person-to-person-12387726

Nancy Messonnier, MD, is the Director of the Center for the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD). Since beginning her public health career in 1995 as an Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer in the Deputy Director for Infectious Diseases (DDID), Dr. Messonnier has held a number of leadership posts across CDC and within NCIRD. She served as Deputy Director of NCIRD from October 2014-March 2016, and led the Meningitis and Vaccine Preventable Diseases Branch in NCIRD’s Division of Bacterial Diseases from 2007-2012
Dr. Messonnier has provided critical leadership to CDC’s cross-cutting laboratory, global health, and surveillance initiatives. She has been a champion for prevention and control of bacterial meningitis in the United States—from drafting the initial recommendations for meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine use in those heading for college, to the introduction of meningococcal conjugate vaccines for routine use in teens. She also oversaw a family of studies exploring resurgence of pertussis in the United States and characterizing post-licensure effectiveness of acellular pertussis vaccines. She played a pivotal role in the successful public-private partnership to develop and implement a low cost vaccine to prevent epidemic meningococcal meningitis in Africa. More than 150 million people in the African Meningitis Belt have been vaccinated with MenAfriVac since 2010, with remarkable impact.

That National Geographic link up thread pops a popup “share your data to read more”. Reloading it and stopping the load early stops the pop.

After the SARS outbreak, the World Health Organization reported that the disease typically attacked the lungs in three phases: viral replication, immune hyper-reactivity, and pulmonary destruction.
Not all patients went through all three phases—in fact only 25 percent of SARS patients suffered respiratory failure, the defining signature of severe cases. Likewise, COVID-19, according to early data, causes milder symptoms in about 82 percent of cases, while the remainder are severe or critical.

That implies actual cases are about 4 to 5 times the reported cases that went to hospital and got tested.
It is also hinted that attacking the chain of events at each step can reduce severity. Perhaps enough to have an easy time of it.
So lots of vit C D and E</b. to reduce initial infection and replication.
Then cytokine storm supression:
https://www.wikihow.com/Reduce-Cytokines
Lower omega-6 raise omega-3, increase polyphenol ( nuts especially walnuts, brassicas, whole grains),
red fruits and berries likely purple too,
dark green and yellow leafy and veggies,
lots of onions and garlic, green tea, red wine chocolate, turmeric also in mustard,
keep your magnesium level up
Good lung health to reduce ACE2 receptor levels, and potentially antivirals if things start getting bad.

brassicas = members of the genus are informally known as cruciferous vegetables, cabbages, or mustard plants. Crops from this genus are sometimes called cole crops, including many economically important vegetables, such as cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, turnip, and mustard.

From my understanding 14 days is typical ‘max’ while some people can go as long as 24 days before showing symptoms.
Sounds like now they have up the typical to 16 days.

I’m still waiting on the next report on our daughter-in-law. She’s been home 7 days now.
If she’s infected, we’re starting to approach the time she should start displaying symptoms.
Oh, she did say that she slathered hand sanitizer on her airline seat. She thoroughly wiped down the area she would be occupying for the flight. Better than nothing, I guess.
My son said he was surprised and disappointed that they didn’t whisk her away to a quarantine facility. They wouldn’t have been happy about it, but they are both more concerned for the population at large…..

So there are LOTS of Americans walking around who were NOT quarantined.
If they are young, female non-smokers who eat correctly they may not even know they had anything more than a bad ‘chest cold’
Do not forget the news has buried it.

This is concerning I wonder what the national cross section of US citizens would look like if you asked that question. You cannot establish public protective measures if the general public is kept completely ignorant of the threat.

I have been asking people on the streets about the covid 19 virus in Fredericton and only 2 knew or heard about it …but if another news channel didn’t inform the public that it was in Halifax BC Ontario over 2 weeks ago … and not one mention on the Canadian news networks Now

A few day later Larry L. said
“right now the major media is mostly ignoring COV-SARS-19 and the events in China, I made a quick round of the major media web pages yesterday and if they had any coverage at all it was to use the newspaper jargon “below the fold” and just a side bar item. I thing much of the clueless American public has little if any awareness of the situation.”

Looks like it will be difficult to control spread of COV-SARS-2 if this sort of spread is typical.
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20200217_33/amp.html

…The ministry says he was controlling vehicle traffic on Tuesday for about 10 minutes as infected passengers left the ship, but kept a distance of at least two meters. It also says he did not come into contact with crew and passengers while on board.
The official was diagnosed with the virus on Sunday, two days after developing a fever. The ministry says he was hospitalized early on Monday….

Now think of all the asymptomatic people in US airports and the virus exchange toilet facilities….

Head of Wuhan hospital HAS died of coronavirus, Chinese state TV says, after local officials revealed – and then denied – his death
The head of a Wuhan hospital at the centre of the coronavirus outbreak has died of the disease, health officials have confirmed.
Dr Liu Zhiming, 51, died this morning after ‘all-out rescue efforts failed’, according to state broadcaster CCTV – resolving a state of confusion last night after local officials reported his death before later denying it.

kalbokalbs says: “…health care workers are NOT going to hide verified Corona. NOT going to happen. IF a “gag” regarding confirmed Corona was directed by “officials” that would leak in a millisecond…would not be tolerated….”
….
Actually recent experience under OH!Bummer proves otherwise. Doctors and nurses treating illegals were ordered to SHUT-UP about the number of cases of nasty diseases allowed into the USA. The ‘Optics’ of disease ridden illegals might destroy the ‘fluffy harmless’ image the news was fostering. Also immigration laws say if you are diseased you get booted. Instead the kids were released into our school systems and their parents into our food service/hotel/daycare systems. Now we have treatment resistant TB and lice, leprosy, hepatitis and who knows what else.
(I do not have access to my old list of bookmarks or I would post the specific URL)
However I did find this:
Remember when the media claimed that infectious disease outbreaks at migrant detention centers was “fake news?” Nope, they’re very real
December 2, 2004 LEPROSY, HEPATITIS AND TUBERCULOSIS RISING FAST IN UNITED STATES

….In the past 40 years, the United States registered a total of 900 cases of the feared Biblical disease–leprosy. Virtually unknown to Americans in the last century, leprosy exceeded 7,000 new cases brought in on the backs of newcomers since 2001….
its new presence in America has caused 11 clinics to sprout up overnight. In the past six years, Levis and his staff have proved that many patients have contracted the disease without leaving the country…
As a result, the disease is now officially endemic to the Northeastern United States for the first time, ever.
Because illegal and legal immigrants are hired into food service, dish washing, cooking, hotels and day care–leprosy finds speedy access across the country…

He goes on to detail:

To show you how fast TB spreads; one infected illegal alien will infect between 10 to 50 Americans…
One illegal in Denver last fall at a fast food restaurant affected over 1000 patrons with Hepatitis A….
Not to be outdone, another disease makes its way across our borders. In South America, Chagas Disease is a T-cruzi parasite that infects 14 million people. It’s called the “Kiss of Death” because it’s spread by the kissing bug and kills 50,000 annually. Desperate South and Central Americans crash our borders while carrying the disease in their blood streams. It attacks the heart and other organs. It can’t be detected.
When they give blood in Los Angeles and Miami, they contaminate our blood supplies.
Nine deaths are confirmed in the last year. Three deaths came from heart transplant recipients. They not only got a new heart, they suffered death from the parasite in the transfusion…

12/29/2018 / By Mike Adams Media buries the truth about illegal immigrants bringing wave of hepatitis, tuberculosis and HIV to America

….
Media Buries Key Facts to Conceal Migrant Health Threat—TB, Hepatitis, HIV
From Judicial Watch

Here’s a great example of the mainstream media distorting information to promote a liberal agenda, an act that is especially pervasive when it comes to immigration coverage. A story published by NBC news, and reiterated by various other outlets, claims illegal immigrants don’t bring disease into the United States. The headline reads: “Migrants don’t bring disease. In fact, they help fight it, report says.” The article focuses on a study commissioned by a medical journal called the Lancet and University College London…..
Judicial Watch has interviewed medical experts that confirm illegal immigrants do indeed pose a serious public health threat to the U.S. by bringing dangerous diseases into the country. This includes tuberculosis, dengue and Chikungunya….
….the influx of Venezuelans fleeing to neighboring countries…. are spreading malaria, yellow fever, diphtheria, dengue, tuberculosis and AIDS throughout South America.
Many of the diseases had been considered eradicated in the neighboring Latin American countries

And you can bet your bootie those diseases are on their way or have already arrived in the USA.

The CDC doesn’t have the best record for sharing The Truth with those who pay its bills — the taxpayers — and who are most at risk when the CDC does it wrong — the taxpayers and their children. Frankly, now that PDJT has convinced the VA to clean house, he needs to direct attention to the CDC’s impact on our healthcare and the schemes behind its operations..
CDC Thomas Frieden Billions in Potential Scandals published Sept 18, 2018
Just one Red Flag around the reign of Director Tom Frieden:

“…Thomas Frieden, NYC Health Commissioner was working on the electronic health records project for two years before Obama created the “Act”. In 2009, he brought Frieden on as the CDC Director. Obama laid out billions on this, and big investors jumped on board. eClinicalWorks was building a name for itself and one month after the Act passed, they landed Walmart.
In 2014 they land a government contract providing the EHR software to ALL immigration and customs enforcement detention facilities. These records therefore manage the data of all adults and children seeing the medical professionals that come into those facilities. Why is it important to gather this data, especially coming through immigration? Is child trafficking at play here? Is organ trafficking at play here? Neither is a leap, once you have reviewed all of the statistical data on both.
Clearly the Justice Department was onto them, and it’s also clear that Obama orchestrated his healthcare scheme quite well with the help of Thomas Frieden.”

Great information. Thank you.
Not trying to have it both ways, so to speak. My trust for CDC is down there with DOJ, FIB…the infected restrooms at the airport. MCM equally as bad. Their corrupt narrative is purely ground in money and power.
AND, 100% I understand and believe the information in above post. Me thinks, Corona IS a very different situation…as in IMMEDIATE threat. OR, I am clueless. Latter always a possibility.
To be very clear, with Corona, I hugely differentiate that “confirmed” Corona is higher on the give a hoot chart than 14 day quarantine and almost laughable, self monitor. Folks being screened, not so much.
– Absolutely “confirmed” must be public knowledge.
– Good to know rough numbers in quarantine and self monitor.
– folks being screened, sooo many red herrings to chase.
– IF the system works with integrity, which we should insist on, we’ll be fine.
My comment about health workers was intended for, and should have used “medical” workers. As in clinics, hospitals… Everyday Americans on the front lines of medical care.
– I can’t believe front line medical workers would hide confirmed Corona cases. IF nothing else, they ARE working in the same environment, have family and friends potentially at stake, IF verified Corona is hidden in plain site. Simply beyond ignorant to hide verified Corona.

On TB . . . I taught a bunch of Cambodians and Vietnamese military during the summer of ’72 and, yup, bingo, had to take TB medicine for the next 2 years.

kalbokalbs

My son, while I was stationed in Philippines 79-82 took med (INH, IHN, ?) for two years. Periodic chest x-rays to verify he was clear. And no moar tine tests for him.

Gail Combs

Actually I am much more likely to believe the Japanese numbers and data.
At this point we should be seeing more confirmed cases popping up in California. On the other hand how many brainwashed medical types like the doctors in the UK, or that Virginia governor are there who see this virus as a way to wipe out the elderly and sick?
Don’t forget it is the DOCTOR who has to call for the test and if not done correctly it will come up negative.
Does Medicare for the elderly even ALLOW the test? Hubby’s doctor said he wanted to have a test done but Hubby was now too old to ‘qualify’
….
Note the Virginia governor, advocating for KILLING new borns. Dr. Ralph S. Northam is a pediatric neurologist and specializes in pediatrics and pediatric neurology.
A pediatric neurologist handles illness and conditions that affect the nervous system. Such as epilepsy, concussion, metabolic disorders, seizures, delayed speech, poor muscle tone, or frequent headaches.
Any bets that Northam has helped ‘dispose’ of useless eaters that are a drain on society?
From Fabian co-founder George Bernard Shaw

KILLING THOSE “UNFIT TO LIVE”
“The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it … If people are fit to live, let them live under decent human conditions. If they are not fit to live, kill them in a decent human way. Is it any wonder that some of us are driven to prescribe the lethal chamber as the solution for the hard cases which are at present made the excuse for dragging all the other cases down to their level, and the only solution that will create a sense of full social responsibility in modern populations?”
Source: George Bernard Shaw, Prefaces (London: Constable and Co., 1934), p. 296.
“Under Socialism, you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live, you would have to live well.”
George Bernard Shaw: The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Socialism and Capitalism, 1928, pg. 470

Sounds just like Northam doesn’t it?

…asked by a radio host if he supported Virginia legislator Kathy Tran’s proposed law to permit abortion while a woman was in labor, Northam replied:

This is why decisions such as this should be made by providers, physicians, and the mothers and fathers that are involved. When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of the mother, with the consent of physicians, more than one physician by the way, and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities, there may be a fetus which is non-viable. So in this particular example, if the mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if this is what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physician and the mother….

I have little trust in doctors after Strong Memorial used my mother for their ILLEGAL Radiation experiments and then finished her off with their trial experiments of Chemo therapy.
WORSE, since I am a chemist I had read about the side effects (weakens the heart) but I could not get either the cancer doctor OR the heart specialist to LISTEN. Turns out they were busy writing a paper with Mom as a guinea pig 😡 and did not want me ‘interfering’ One of the doctors let it slip when he yelled at me in the hall.

Gail Combs

OH, and three of our neighbors were doctors who I babysat for, and KNEW what was going on and although they made references to the guy as ‘The Butcher’ would not really warn mom.
So yes, I can certainly see a wall of silence.

And yes they did mention Rochester University/Strong Memorial Hospital.

^^^ THIS. China flights into LAX / SFO with passengers connecting flights. SFO health schmucks meeting with China Town folk. Given the apparent rapid transmission of corona, I am amazed we have not had moar Corona in CA AND US in general. Certainly suspicious eyes on this. Vigilant with preps continuing.

Trying to get a handle on the path of the disease in Japan.

….The New Year’s party was held on Jan. 18 by a branch of a private taxi union based in Tokyo’s Jonan area, and was attended by about 70 taxi drivers and their families who dined on the boat. However, the windows were shut due to heavy rain, creating a confined space with insufficient ventilation — the kind of environment where disease spreads more easily….
An independent taxi driver in his 70s, who participated in the party along with his wife, had tested positive in Tokyo. He is the son-in-law of a woman in her 80s from Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, who died on Feb. 13 — Japan’s first confirmed fatality from the COVID-19 illness.
The metropolitan government began investigating in the wake of the woman’s death, and had confirmed 11 participants and yakatabune employees were infected with the coronavirus as of Feb. 16….

Japan to quarantine cruise ship on which coronavirus patient sailed

….Japan’s government said on Monday it would quarantine a Yokohama-bound cruise ship, after a Hong Kong man who sailed on it last month tested positive for coronavirus….
The 80-year-old man flew to Japan and boarded the ship, the Diamond Princess, run by Carnival Japan Inc, in Yokohama on Jan. 20 and disembarked on Jan. 25, NHK public broadcaster said.
He developed a cough a day before embarking but did not develop a fever until Jan. 30, a day before he was confirmed to have been infected by the virus in Hong Kong, NHK reported….
Japan has 20 confirmed coronavirus cases, of these 17 people have been in Wuhan, the central Chinese city that is believed to be the centre of the virus outbreak.

Cotton has been raising the alarm over Corona and potential weaponizing by China.
It may be weaponized. Can’t dismiss it. I do believe Corona got out by accident – staff failure to follow protocol or equipment failure.
AND, IF weaponized, China would use it if they felt it was to their advantage.
