Raptor Witness Posted February 2, 2020 #206 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) The First death in the Philippines, and the first recorded outside of China, appears to underline the issue of complications due to bacterial infections, in a potential repeat of what we saw during the 1918 pandemic, as outlined in the NIH’s 2008 study. The hint here seems to be that given the young age of the victim, the likely bacterial cause is the antibiotic resistant superbug MRSA, but we won’t know that until the results are published.

He also warned that the virus could be turned to vapour by the force of a toilet flushing, endangering people in the same room. “Now disinfection of toilets may be on the agenda,” _______________ My suspicion now, is that with this ability, it will give the virus super-spreader status. I also now join in the belief that this will likely be a pandemic. The virus is unusually robust, apparently harnessing the machinery of many cells in the body. Woe to the nations who fail to close their airspace to all travel, from any nation. Quote A super-spreader is an unusually contagious organism infected with a disease. A sick human can be a super-spreader; they would be more likely to infect others, compared with a typical infected person.[1]Super-spreaders are therefore a high concern in epidemiology, the study of the spread of diseases.

Every year the flu kills thousands. Actually, the number of coronavirus cases outside of China proper is very miniscule. There are 11 cases in the US, which has a population of around 320 million. There are several laboratories that are already working on a vaccine. So far, 10,000 people have died in the 2019-2020 flu season, with nearly every state reporting high flu activity. This article is from January 30, 2020. I have to say, I haven't heard so much on the news about how bad the flu is this season. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/1300-people-died-flu-year/story?id=67754182 Early 2019 to 2020 flu activity primarily was driven by influenza B/Victoria viruses, for which the vaccine is not a great match. Now, that flu activity is changing, "an increase in A/H1N1," Schaffner said. So far, 10,000 people have died and 180,000 people have been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to preliminary estimates from the CDC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or rather, groups of creatures). Hard to distinguish the difference though. link Common coronavirus symptoms can include: — Fever — Dry cough — Shortness of breath — Aching muscles — Fatigue Less typical coronavirus symptoms: — Phlegm buildup — Headache — Hemoptysis — Diarrhea Symptoms atypical for coronavirus: — Runny nose — Sore throat A runny nose and a sore throat are typical signs of upper respiratory infection. Therefore, those who have bouts of sneezing or get the sniffles likely have the flu or a common cold. As the new coronavirus generally affects the lower respiratory tract, most of those infected exhibit a dry cough, shortness of breath or pneumonia, but not a sore throat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor Witness Posted February 3, 2020 #220 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Coronavirus: Kenya, Ethiopia, Botswana record new suspected cases - Africa News - 02/03/2020 __________________ With respect to this new virus, as Africa goes, so goes the world. Also, my source suggests that it will be there that a mutation can take place, but the nature of this change is still being kept from me. However, a doctor of animals does come to mind. I strongly advise that any sick veterinarians or veterinary workers in Africa, be watched very closely. This should be a top priority of every nation. No veterinary workers should be allowed to treat any animals, while carrying this virus, anywhere on earth. Quote A storm is coming, a greenish, dark mass, the smell of iron in her blood. Source 12-16-2019 The curious thing about this timely forecast, is that there are not many “storms” that would be interested in “blood,” only one kind I would imagine. This line was actually taken from an incident that I experienced in childhood, which is a distant memory, but one that made a strong impression on me. It was an incident involving the story of a species, which traveled aboard ships to the New World, and found a new home there. A flying species.

They were part of a medical school’s alumni group on WeChat, a popular social network in China, and they were concerned that SARS, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, was back. It wasn’t long before police detained them. The authorities said these eight doctors and medical technicians were “misinforming” the public, that there was no SARS, that the information was obviously wrong, and that everyone in the city must remain calm. On the first day of 2020, Wuhan police said they had “taken legal measures” against the eight individuals who had “spread rumors.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/china-arrested-doctors-warned-coronavirus-111252311.html 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
