Just something to share.

My MD wife is reminded of the quote from The Day After: "You can't see it... you can't feel it... and you can't taste it. But it's here, right now, all around us! It's goin' through you like an X-ray! "

There health system is ramping up and is totally ill prepared. I know they are not unique. Up to seven cases out of nowhere in the last two days.

A couple of her MD partners are ready to slap people up side the head with Lucille if they hear just the flu one more time.

The more enclosed the space, the higher the viral load/infection rate.

A CDC official said to the daughter of one of the Diamond Princess cruise ship couples, that it was likely in the air circulating on the ship.

I believe this chart will support or compliment the chart that you've posted. As one can see, diagnosed cases (yellow) in a sense (falsely) represent current events, as to the reality on the ground. So, when we learn of positive infections through real time testing, we can extrapolate the figures into useful predictive data, that indicates an equal or greater number of contagious people (gray) that have been infecting others for a substantial and unchecked period of time. Ouch!

Please add your comments or corrections as you see fit. TY

Nope - it was DEFINITELY in those systems, but it wasn’t replicating in those systems - it cannot. Instead you had sick people on the boat dumping virons into the constantly re-circulating air, by the ‘boatload’, building up the concentration of the virons higher and higher over the days. As the concentration of virons went higher and higher, more and more people couldn’t fight it off, and got infected.

Ok, Bob. How does that differ from everything I’ve be saying tonight?

I think you and I are in complete agreement.

And we have known about the potential for testicle damage for nearly 2 months now. One of the tissues that contains (for all races) a lot of expressed ACE2 is testicles. ACE2 is how coronaviruses bind to their targets.

I can hear it now post coronavirus pandemic if it ends. There will be new pick up lines. I can't get you pregnant, I've had the corona virus!

LOL.

It would make the perfect bioweapon though.

Kill the older people, sterilize the younger males especially.

Total population replacement in 30 years or so.

Yes, this was the first inkling I had about ventilation spread. But some people would say that it’s not the ship that’s infected, but just the air in the ship!

Turn up the heat, push out as much air as you can and still keep the temperature up, and pay the utility company...

Greenies and your wallet will be weeping, but it’s fairly cheap prevention, all things considered, esp. if one has a high risk member of the household.

That’s sort of what we are going to do with my Mom. Put a window fan in an upstairs window, pushing air out, and run up the heat downstairs, where she stays. (Kinda wish she was upstairs and we’d exit air downstairs, but there is no shower or tub upstairs, and she is wheelchair / walker (a few steps) bound.) Plus the thermostat is downstairs in the area she usually stays in. That’s convenient! I really wish we could keep her mostly in her bedroom (fairly large, could put a TV in there, etc., but she won’t stand for it, at least just yet.)

I have 4 of those standup quartz radiant heaters, which helps, for spot / zone heating. Only problem is the safety thermal breakers in them get flaky with age & shut down way too soon. So I can only run ‘em at half power (which does greatly mitigate the risk of overloading a circuit, if used one per circuit and no other heavy power consumers on said circuit.)

“had sick people on the boat dumping virons into the constantly re-circulating air”
True.

said, "Taking a zinc lozenge and eating some kale ain't gonna do it"

kale has a low concentration of Quercetin you would have to eat a lot of Kale. It wouldn't work as well as more precise doses. There is no reason it can't work. Oxidized zinc without a from the report I shown above ionphore will stop the growth of the virus. With an ionphore it will kill it.

"The second method is breathing hot air of 104 deg F for over an hour."

Why wouldn't it work? Take a look at "fig. 3" "no cigar" isn't an answer. The rest of your post was nonsense.

Gosh, I know what you’re going through.

Hate to pay for that “outside air”. It ain’t cheap.
But it ‘s better to so in the end.

Hmm. The only good thing about those curves is that the Italy curve appears to have gone linear.

That is still in back of my mind. The PLA has their own Lebensraum concept. It is part of their military doctrine for the takeover of many countries. I still think it was an accidental bioweapon release.

A fresh perspective is always appreciated.

What’s the saying...

If we can send a man to the moon, why can’t we send all of them?

No, that’s not quite right.

If we can send a man to the moon, why can’t we solve the common cold?

Well, the little buggers are constantly wiggling around just enough to stay one step ahead of man.

The silver lining in all of this, as painful as it will be in bringing about a justifiable reckoning, is that the idea of utopian globalism with regards to the U.S. of A., is DEAD!

Yup, there’s that.

I am still not as worried about this virus, for now, as I am about no antibiotic manufacturing stateside.

If we find out this is a sterilizing virus then...my hair might be on fire?

The Navy hospital ships will only treat persons not having CoVid-19. The idea is to keep the ships free of the virus so people with normal emergency medical needs, for trauma care, heart attacks, older folks with urinary tract infecctions, etc., will be safe from CoVid-19.

Hmmmm....good idea, I guess.

I’d prefer to keep the COVIDs off of the island, tho ;-)

Whatever the Navy says is best.

“It is my view that the continued circulation of infected air at whatever temperature will increase the viral load to lethal proportions in any closed system.”

And you would be right.

It transmits through the air, not “droplets”.
