“She began by complaining about body aches, that she felt a heaviness and fatigue,” said Cesar Cortez in an interview with the television station.

He said his sister showed up to work on March 23, but shortly after began to feel symptoms that included body pain and chills.

Cortez said the family was surprised by how quickly she went from feeling ill to dying. She was hospitalized on Friday, he said, and died the very next day.

“This all happened in less than a week,”

“We began taking pantethine (disulfide bond of pantetheine), NAC and taurine based on our metabolic model two years ago.

what is the purpose for taking these substances?

The best political analyst of the last 50 years has lost his mind. So sad.

Rush Limbaugh Floats Theory That Coronavirus Deaths Are Being Inflated to Push an Agenda

It’s the direct quotes that show the ravages of insanity.

Virologists can see the virus’s whole genome code, 30,000 or so nucleotides, translated from the actual chemistry to a sequenced digital format. How they arrive at that is beyond me, but I’m sure they can then compare one digitized virus to another. Differences would mean mutations or “cuts”.

A seasoned scientist can probably accurately judge whether the change is a mutation or a cut. The computer can probably also compare the whole 30,000 nucleotide chain for similarities in part of the chain to parts of other unrelated viruses on record. The most savvy of the virologists can probably tell what’s been engineered and which lab in the world did it, but maybe that’s wishful thinking.

As for the Wuhan virus escaping from a lab, China didn’t seem to be prepared for it. It could have been incompetence of the warden in charge of disposing of lab waste or animals, but it could also have been an intentional accident brought about by someone who wanted to give the world a nasty Christmas present. Who might have done that?

"They act very quiet and demure in public and then at home go all “white bone demon”. (Reference to Mao’s wife)"

That is a perfect description of ex-girlfriend from the old country (China), especially the "white bone demon"! I had never experienced anything like that before, think I might even gotten some PTSD from it! If Mao's wife was like that, no wonder he murdered millions of his own people!

I found what you were talking about:

On April 2, France reported 884 additional deaths that have occurred in nursing homes over the past days and weeks [source]. The French Government did not include these deaths in their official count, as their count only takes into consideration deaths of hospitalized patients. Following international standards of correct inclusion, our statistics will include these deaths, and will add them to the April 2, 2020 count following the attribution criteria of date of report.

So that explains the huge spike in the French numbers.

Thanks for the heads up about that.

NAC is an antioxidant and a precursor for glutathione, with some other benefits.

“A seasoned scientist can probably accurately judge whether the change is a mutation or a cut.”

How?

What is the basis of that statement?

I should have said “tradition” instead of “science”.

But it is a funny coincidence.

airport report -plus, influx of ex-pats has begun:

Flight to Nashville had about 20 passengers, More deadheading pilots in first class. No food service. No one at gate screening incoming as happened in Dallas. Hotel shuttle smelled disinfected. Even room key was disinfected. Six cars in parking lot of hotel.

Passengers catty-cornered from DH said they were returning from Puerto Viarta. Said that crime is unbelievable in PV now that tourists are gone. Said that ‘a lot’ of ex-pats trying to return to the US. Flew PV to Dallas to Nashville. DH reminded them to self-quarantine for 14 days. They seemed surprised.

(amazing how ex-pats that sit around all day talking down the USA are quick to rush back to the US for safety - not just PV people, ex-pats from China and other places, too)

Wish we heard more from our ex-pats about their situations.
Lot of them on FR.

‘It comes in waves’: Those who have recovered from ‘mild’ cases of COVID-19 describe harrowing, unpredictable illness
http://www.courant.com/coronavirus/hc-news-coronavirus-survivors-20200402-k4zp4qamhjapjek6ljhrqkqkue-story.html

By Daniela Altimari and Steven Goode

The range of symptoms and uneven path to recovery has been documented by physicians.

“People seem to do better over the first few days, then there’s this second wave that comes,” said Dr. J. Samuel Pope, director of the medical intensive care unit at Hartford Hospital.

“There is this sort of twin peak,” he added. “Even our patients we’ve had in our hospital who have been there the longest, they seem to get better and then there’s worsening that occurs.”

Craven’s uneven path to full recovery mirrors that of Carol Engelman, who also contracted COVID-19. Both Engelman and her sister, state Rep. Jane Garibay, fell ill in March.

In a video posted on Facebook on March 25, Engelman described the progression of the illness. “I started it off with feeling a little lightheaded,” she said. “Within an hour, I had a temperature and I was in bed with body aches that were beyond my thoughts.”

Engelman, of Windsor, characterized her case as mild, with a fever that broke quickly and a low-level cough. But even in its less potent form, the virus packs a wallop, she said.

“I was exhausted,”

>>>>>> Her advice to anyone who contracts COVID-19: “When you get this, plant yourself in your bed and stay there.” <<<<<<

According to the Hebrew calendar (not necessarily the Jewish calendar), Passover is the 8th, the Feast of Unleavened Bread begins the 9, actual Resurrection the 11, First Fruits the 12, and Feast of Unleavened Bread ends on the 21st.

Bunch of coincidences it would seem, especially the Hebrew dates of the Resurrection/First Fruits syncing up with the Christian Easter celebrations. Reminds one of who's really in charge of things.

Many are going to ignore quarantines in their desire to participate in these observances.

said, "Look at the total death rate in Italy, YOY. Tell me why 16x as many people are choosing to die this year than did on average for the prior decade"

That is because of the infection. Which wouldn't be a major problem if "Antibody-dependent enhancement" where not distributed. ADE changes the cells into a long term memory for an infection in the lungs when a new strain of SARS is introduced. Italy and China received the ADE. The US, Germany, South Korea and the UK didn't receive this failed drug in large numbers. (hundreds of millions where distributed world wide)
