That’s the main reason this is NOT the flu: it’s much more contagious. Plus, there are flu vaccines — admittedly a hit and miss thing, but could still confer partial immunity to the season’s main strain — but there is still not a vaccine for the Chinese Crud, and the effective treatments are still not widespread, and the most prominent one, HCQ, is being talked down by various anti-Trump advocates and the sclerotic “testing-first” people like Fauci.

Look, fool. When was the last time the flu was the second leading cause of death in the US on any given day????

Right now the Wuhanic Plague is second only to heart disease on daily deaths. Let’s hope it slows down.

You flat earth FluBros need to learn simple second grade arithmetic- like I had to do with Professional awhile back, I’ll get out a big crayon to talk to you now.

TOTAL FLU CASES 2018-2019 SEASON 42,900,000 CASES TOTAL DEATHS: 61,200

MORTALITY 0.14%

WUHANIC PLAGUE: (current) 33,173 CASES, TOTAL DEATHS 9,535

MORTALITY 2.8%

If 43,000,000 catch the Wuhanic Plague, then you can expect over 1.2 MILLION deaths. Since this disease is actually far more contagious with an R0 of over 2, we need to contain it.

That’s what my husband and I keep saying, if we can just hold out until they have a handle on this thing! While, his franchise is waiting for masks, one of his regular customers, bless her, has offered to make his employees fabric masks. We have something here we think we can use to insert so hopefully that will work. This should not have happened in America, but here we are.

Gates really is scary.

Glad to see that OANN is covering his creepiness...with the social distancing, forever, and his vaccine promotion.

Yes, and why isn’t the lying MSM worried about the people coming in from Mexico, like they suddenly are, now, about Chinese flights coming in (before bans)??

If it wasn’t exponential, wouldn’t the line be flat on a log graph (slope = 0). It just means our various measures, including those eeeeeeeeevil HCQ treatments, are decreasing the actual exponent, which is better ‘n’ nuttin’.

Yes, exponential growth shows as a straight line on a semi-log plot. The slope is greater than zero; zero slope is a horizontal line. The Gompertz function is an example where the exponent steadily decreases. It is an S-curve if shown on a linear plot.

Thanks Jane.

It’s hard to go to any other threads today, it’s like the hive mentality of the FluBros is everywhere. I’m actually ashamed at their stupidity, while calling themselves conservatives.

They do that because they know they are wrong. Notice how we don’t invade their threads (because we know we’re right).

Looks like they were all from Afghanistan. Possibly a connection to our attempt to close up shop there?

COVID-19 – A co-infection of SARS-CoV-2 and Prevotella genus bacteria

 

Thesis:

The COVID-19 disease is a synergistic co-infection of human lung tissue and a normal gram negative anaerobic bacterium, Prevotella.  SARS-CoV-2 can infect both human lung tissue and the Prevotella bacterium. The viral pneumonia setup by the SARS-CoV-2 in the alveolar sacs of the lower lung lowers the oxygen level and creates a favorable environment for the anaerobic Prevotello bacterium to flourish. High blood sugar feeds the Prevotella bacterial growth. The increase in bacteria provides a growth medium for SARS-CoV-2 to infect and replicate.

 

Course of Infection:

1.       Initial infection of SARS-CoV-2 is acquired via droplet or aerosol inhalation.

2.       Prevotella is present in the oral cavity an is aspirated into the lungs. Normally high oxygen levels limit growth as part of the microbiome of lower lung tissue.

3.       In the initial 12 hours after infection, the SARS-CoV-2 replicates in the lower lung and is subject to shedding in coughs, sneezes or ordinary conversation.

4.       During the “incubation” phase, SARS-CoV-2 is damaging the lower lung epithelium creation a low oxygen fluid. This fluid includes nutrients from the blood.

5.       The Prevotello bacteria present begin to multiply and their exotoxins begin damaging the lung tissue.  The patient becomes aware of tightness in the chest as the Prevotello infection takes hold. The febrile symptoms appear as the body tries to fight the infection.

Treatment Of COVID-19

Successful treatments in France revealed that use of hydroxychloroquine as a zinc ionophore to stop replication of SARS-CoV-2 in human cells AND azithromycin successfully treated the infection. Others have use high dose vitamin C to kill exogenous virus and Chaga mushroom extracts to leverage the 3CL protease inhibition to stop replication.  Measures applied early to halt the replication and kill the virus are satisfactory before the Prevotella pneumonia gets started. After that point, it is necessary to bring in the azithromycin to kill the Prevotella to halt that infection and eliminate the secondary reservoir of SARS-CoV-2.

Post 119 is the result of my afternoon noodling after some inspiration from Clif High and some Google searches on the topic. It explains to some extent why hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin are a winning combination.
