I posted this article over at Reddit last night, but I think we all need to read this in here. Essentially, there is evidence that WuFlu infects the brain stem, causing death. If the signal to breathe is not sent by the brain, you die.

The neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV2 may be at least partially responsible for the respiratory failure of COVID-19 patients.

Li YC, et al. J Med Virol. 2020.

Abstract
Following the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), another highly pathogenic coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 (previously known as 2019-nCoV) emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and rapidly spreads around the world. This virus shares highly homological sequence with SARS-CoV, and causes acute, highly lethal pneumonia (COVID-19) with clinical symptoms similar to those reported for SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. The most characteristic symptom of COVID-19 patients is respiratory distress, and most of the patients admitted to the intensive care could not breathe spontaneously. Additionally, some COVID-19 patients also showed neurologic signs such as headache, nausea and vomiting. Increasing evidence shows that coronavriruses are not always confined to the respiratory tract and that they may also invade the central nervous system inducing neurological diseases. The infection of SARS-CoV has been reported in the brains from both patients and experimental animals, where the brainstem was heavily infected. Furthermore, some coronaviruses have been demonstrated able to spread via a synapse-connected route to the medullary cardiorespiratory center from the mechano- and chemoreceptors in the lung and lower respiratory airways. In light of the high similarity between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV2, it is quite likely that the potential invasion of SARS-CoV2 is partially responsible for the acute respiratory failure of COVID-19 patients. Awareness of this will have important guiding significance for the prevention and treatment of the SARS-CoV-2-induced respiratory failure. (229 words) This article is protected by copyright.

This school is performing at lower than state average. Those teachers should be in the classroom and not traveling around the world. Guess they’re getting paid to be out of the classroom.

I have cold today, I live in King Co Wa.
If I get it, I will let you know before I die.

Regular flu travels through the air too. Why wouldn’t this? I think they say this to avoid panic and hoarding of masks. Not that there are any masks to buy and hoard now anyway.

Or maybe that is the point - there are no masks, so they have to say “Well - the don’t do any good anyway.”

It probably won’t hurt you. You probably won’t even get it.

The concern comes from the contagious nature...which is many times more than the flu.

The percent that get really sick is higher than the flu.

The death rate is at leastten times the normal influenza. AND the hospitals are pretty much full with flu patients. This thing comes in and overwhelms the existing system.

The bigger issue is how other countries have been extreme in their reaction, how it impacts schools and businesses. China says they are back to work there is little hard evidence that anything is moving. Cargo, not people.

The potential economic impact could be significant and last a couple of quarters.

This is not four horseman time. But the impact will be felt for a while.

Do you have a fever? I hope not. Dry cough?

If not, just a cold thank God. I got my flu shot yesterday, and had a flush of fever in the evening - first thing I thought was WuFlu, and then remembered the vaccine.

I overheard one of the stackers saying something about how delayed their incoming shipments are.

I’m more worried about panic buying than I am about the dang disease itself.

Not for the diarrhea but for staying home for an extended period of time.

"Are you saying they will not report the actual number of positive tests?"

I am saying that, between the actual previously-acknowledged test kit failure rate, and the necessary subterfuge to prevent system failure, the number of positives in Wuhan, here, or Mars will never be known until epidemiological historians (yes, this is a thing) get their hands around this SARS-ish-outbreak-with-limited-co-morbidities-but-peculiar-'genetics' late in Trump's 2nd term.

I never see you post anything like to offset the alarmist BS

Says that guy with his hair on fire over Sanders getting elected because of a FR virus thread.

I know. I guess if the kids were at home still. 36 rolls last my wife and me a long, long time. But I bought another 20, just to be sure.

As an example, Houston’s health department has said they will not release ANY data on the virus.

America is so into Costco, they should rename the virus the Kirkland Virus.

“1 new case in Romania. The patient, who is asymptomatic, sat next to an infected woman while flying from Italy. “

There appears to be a confirmed case of an airplane passenger getting the virus from a fellow passenger.

Seems the panic buying is at Costco. Shop your neighborhood grocery store.

Costco

It was odd to see all those big orange pallet racks completely empty today. No toilet paper. Everyone was grabbing the multi-packs of paper towels I assume as a possible backup plan.
