It is a different coronavirus...
The article, tho current, is chronicling story from a man who contracted it 4 years ago...not about the new coronavirus.
Greetings from earth. OK I get it. The conspiracy theorists do have hold of this place.
I have the choice to hunker down at home...and I could stay home for a month or more...I always take precautions at flu season to sanitize—I always have a pump hand sanitizer dispenser in my car.
Family member actually works in a lab...they don’t have the choice to hunker down :( It will be interesting to see if the lab starts stepping up their infection prevention protocols...that will be very telling to me.
BTW, I live 30 minutes of the 2 confirmed Chicago cases are...So I am taking this more seriously than many who live in small towns in rural areas...
Use Hydrogen Peroxide. Works nearly as well, and is non-toxic.
"They told me that my organs were completely shut down so they took the decision to induce me into a coma.”
If his organs were completely shut down, he’d be dead.
"It was a horrendous feeling. I ended up seeing a clinical psychologist.” "You are not actually asleep. You are just sedated - so you can still hear things around you.”
If he was just sedated, he wasn’t induced into a coma. If he was able to hear things, he wasn’t in a coma.
I think this tabloid story is a lot of BS.
The Chi Com Zhao, Zhao, Wang, Zhou, Ma and Zuo student case study was only based on one Asian male subject as compared to seven others. Another male subject was also said to have more ACE2 receptors than the six female subjects.
The coronavirus is an RNA virus. RNA viruses mutate at a high rate. Other examples are Ebola, SARS, rabies, cold, flu, hepatitis C, E, West Nile, polio, measles,...
I’m not a biologist, but I did help with research in another category of interest during the ‘90s. There are standards for studies and reports.
Wow, the virus made him lose all his hair........Yikes!
“Works nearly as well, and is non-toxic.”
Dammit. Now another trip to Sam’s. I thought I had this wrapped up. Anyway, Hydrogen Peroxide is very cheap (much cheaper than Rubbing Alcohol) and I’ll certainly buy some more.
Thanks though!
“BTW, I live 30 minutes of the 2 confirmed Chicago cases are...So I am taking this more seriously than many who live in small towns in rural areas...”
Don’t blame you - at that distance you could easily be sharing restaurants and/or stores with them.
"As the week went on it became worse and I became a bit breathless.
"But then I woke up of the morning of New Year's Eve and I couldn't even catch my breath.
This is helpful information. It starts as a common cold but it becomes increasingly difficult to breath.
His blood should be tested for antibodies.
Yeah! He should have drank a bucket of essential oils, taken a few hundred thousand units of vitamin D and injected some of that there colonic silver. That would have fixed his potato head! Blue is beautiful! He’d have been as good as new. Or maybe knowing about his superior genes by noticing the shape of his head would have protected him.
[My rant is *not* about you or anything that you said. Just took this time to ventilate. Going to get away from the crazy stuff from the Net in general for a bit and get a few chores and tasks done.]
Oh my! I don't see how either of those choices is sound.
I typed a lot of explanations here on FR telling people that Y2K wasn’t going to be a big deal. Few believed me. Now they’ll say the efforts of experts saved the day. In truth, there never were catastrophic risks, just inconveniences.
The article makes clear that he was treated in Torbay Hospital. This is an NHS general hospital serving an area of South Devon about 40 miles from where I live. I can't see anything in the article which suggests that the treatment he received wasn't of the kind available in a NHS hospital. On the contrary - private hospitals in the UK simply aren't equipped to deal with non-standard emergencies of this kind, since they exist primarily to serve a very profitable market, routine operations and procedures such as joint replacement etc. If this man had developed these symptoms in a private hospital, he would have been immediately transferred to a NHS hospital!
I must confess I'm rather mystified by your assumption that this couldn't be so. (I write, by the way, as somebody who has been a NHS patient throughout the 71 years of its existence, but I also use private care when appropriate).
Good Lrd. This guy will never be fully recovered, and HE DID GET BETTER. This is a horrible virus. Hard to read at the Mirror site with all the crazy ads. But how did he catch this?
Everyone should add a few drops of oregano oil into their hand sanitizers in the car or pocket. It has been scientifically proven to kill coronavirus. I read the studies online a week ago but now they are scrubbed by google.
Novel Wuhan Coronavirus
Prolly not what the British gentleman had.
