Coronavirus $hit be getting real

Friend in Shanghai tells me that the city is about 50% back to normal.

Grocery store shelves have stock and his local Sam's was fully stocked.

He pointed out that a lot of prescribed medicines are manufactured in China and there is a big fear there that supply will be greatly reduced in the coming weeks.

"We can't make penicillin anymore," said Gibson. "The last penicillin plant in the United States closed in 2004."

The world is "simply not ready" to rein in the new coronavirus outbreak, the head of a joint WHO-China mission of experts said Tuesday, urging countries to learn from China's expertise.

"You have to be ready to manage this at a larger scale... and it has to be done fast," Bruce Aylward told reporters in Geneva, insisting countries everywhere have to "be ready as if this hits us tomorrow".

An interesting article and pretty informative.


As a reminder, the running narrative is that the new coronavirus lie dormant in bats somewhere between 20 and 70 years, then 'crossed over' to humans through and unknown species - possibly a Pangolin - before it emerged at a Wuhan, China meat market roughly 900 feet from a level-4 bioweapons lab.

And what were they researching at said lab? Among other things - why Ebola and HIV can lie dormant in bats without causing diseases.

According to the new study, the 'mutation' can generate a structure known as a cleavage site in the new coronavirus' spike protein, SCMP reports. "Compared to the Sars' way of entry, this binding method is "100 to 1,000 times" as efficient, according to the study."

    The virus uses the outreaching spike protein to hook on to the host cell, but normally this protein is inactive. The cleavage site structure's job is to cheat the human furin protein, so it will cut and activate the spike protein and cause a "direct fusion" of the viral and cellular membranes. -SCMP

While mainstream scientists continue to perform mental gymnastics to insist that the new coronavirus wasn't man-made, new research from scientists in China and Europe reveal that the disease happens to have an 'HIV-like mutation' which allows it to bind with human cells up to 1,000 times stronger than the Sars virus, according to SCMP.

Some health experts are recommending having ibuprofen around for fever reduction.  Also Pedialyte or Gatorade and broths, soups, crackers etc..

The NorCal case is very troubling  She must have gotten it from someone in the area. She likely contaminated many people, nurses, etc. before they finally tested her.
It is strange how it doesn't seem to effect kids much. Seems like every virus I ever got was from my kids and grandkids.

Why is anyone surprised

Govenments have always had labs to try to produce this or that deadly strain of bacteria or virus

Who remembers the Andromeda Strain?

Nothing new here except new ways for us to be killed by our own government

Andromeda Strain, great movie, but it was from outer space that caused a satellite to crash.

That is the real truth.  We as a population seem to be driven by the news media.  I lost fifteen thousand dollars over the past few days and the virus hasn't even hit this country yet.
