+Not A Rockstar Posted February 12, 2020 #326 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Here is a refreshing article I found from the expert on the virus, which he says is unlike SARS or MERS and is more akin to a severe cold. A vaccine may be available in about 18 months, and he expects it to die back in about 6 months. He explains why, somewhat, in this longish article https://www.accuweather.com/en/health-wellness/coronavirus-expert-says-the-virus-will-burn-itself-out-in-about-6-months/679415 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would advise that we begin an antibody sharing program, immediately, where survivors donate their blood, and people at high risk, are allowed to received immunity from the survivors, based upon blood type. I know we do this with other severe illnesses, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, because I had a close friend of my family, who had survived that illness, and who was a blood donor for his entire life. He saved many lives as a result of his close call with that particular disease. I say we weaponize the survivors, and make them heroes, which I’m sure many would be glad to be. Even if this virus is only 2% fatal, it could provide a roadmap for the future, when a far higher fatality rate would require a stronger response. I will admit that I have no idea how much blood it would take to immunize a second person, but perhaps we can multiply those antibodies, in vitro, and use those.

When, isn’t nearly as important as the fact that they’re doing the smart thing. The best Valentines present ..... by far.

+susieice Posted February 17, 2020 #344 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) I haven't seen a US source yet, but according to the BBC, 40 of the 380 Americans who were evacuated today to the US from the cruise ship, Diamond Princess, have tested positive for the virus and will be treated in Japan. They had all been tested before being allowed to board the planes. The other 340 will go into isolation when they arrive in the States. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51524460?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=facebook&ocid=socialflow_facebook&ns_campaign=bbcnews&fbclid=IwAR3r3K47spxWHVkwjRVwg9AjRCbIO_G-UAusYLIsuP87qBZX3WwoYSIfgdc Edited February 17, 2020 by susieice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted February 17, 2020 #345 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) The evacuated Americans are now in the US. One plane landed in California. One just landed in Texas minutes ago per ABC News. Monday, Japan also raised the number of infected passengers on the Diamond Princess to 454. This article from Times was just updated about 10 minutes ago. The US has confirmed that 14 of the passengers on the planes are ill and were contained during the flights. I thought they were going to be kept in Japan also. There are 44 Americans known to still be in treatment in Japan. https://time.com/5785034/americans-covid-19-japan-cruise-ship/ The U.S. embassy in Japan earlier said no symptomatic or infected passengers would be allowed to board. But the U.S. Departments of State and Health and Human Services later confirmed that 14 passengers with the virus were on the flights and placed in a “specialized containment area on the evacuation aircraft.” The first U.S. chartered flight arrived at Travis Air Force Base in northern California early Monday. The second flight was expected to land at the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
