They just sent their infected ones all over the world.

Except they underestimated the US and infected their allies first.

Have you seen that map of the Wuhan travel destinations post ban?

This is what we fear it is. From Washington Post. Our lack of pandemic preparedness could prove deadly

“Policymakers need to pay much closer attention to the threats that could be posed by biologically engineered pathogens. There are still no licensed vaccines for most of the deadly viral pathogens that have occurred naturally in the past 40 years. That includes HIV, West Nile, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). A pathogen that combined the lethality of any of these diseases with the ability to spread like influenza could cause extraordinary illness and mortality.”

It’s hinky.

All of it.

I don’t know what to say.

We give them billions every year...and get essentially nothing in return.

“watching now, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Bloomberg news, not one of these scumbag news outlets are carrying this. “

Thank Goodness! The Dems already have their campaign clips set - Trump (essentially) saying this virus is a big ‘nothing burger’. Fine until half his base can’t refill their drugs.

Has anyone seen references in available literature to the treatment protocols being used in Wuhan in month 1 and what is used now? Not the quarantine, but what treatments are being used when someone is initially suspected of having the virus?

We are not testing cause testing is messy. Causes all kinds of lawyerly like things to kick in. That is why Fukushima radiation was never a problem lol.

One thing that’s bugging me.... Are we not testing, because we’re not wanting to report numbers??

I think that's it...or they ARE testing and NOT reporting numbers to avoid hysteria and panic. If there are significant numbers then everyone will run to the emergency room in a panic wondering if they got coronavirus.

Vaccines for every creature that might pop up is an unrealistic goal.

I agree with Fauci. What we NEED is a deep and wide antiviral program to look for drugs that can be used to treat, immediately. We have one right now. Just not enough of it. Thanks to the search for antiHIV antivirals we know a LOT about how to do this now. 20 years ago we’d have been pie in the sky to even contemplate it. Now it’s a different story.

If we have to wait 2 or 3 months to develop a vaccine, another 6m to test it/etc we might have a world totally on fire and vaccines unable to be distributed at all. Not to mention if the country we use for raw materials is one of the first to go down for the count. And if we manage to misguess the vaccine, or the microbe mutates...it’s all over but the shouting at that point. Not to mention that any vaccine might have side effects we only see years down the line. Infertility, autoimmune diseases, etc. Might be trading frying pan for fire for a good % of the population.

Oh and President Trump DID say that they ARE testing those whom they need to test. So testing is being done even if we don’t know about it.

As in this thing is looking less accidental, more intentional?

Tucker has had a good opening segment, about the virus/presser/etc., tonight.

Worth the watch, if you missed it.

From the few videos we’ve seen the ‘treatment’ is more of a ‘caliber’.

“We’re going to get valves for the potties tomorrow. The ones in the potties and the ones on the wall connecting the potties to the water supply. If one of those goes out...it would be ugly...”

They’ll be available for a few more weeks...then expect an 8 month gap. Just hold it in.

I took that as they’re only testing those in quarantine or in obvious distress.

That’s reassuring.
