Here s a list of coronavirus stories that were posted here on Free Republic between 29 January and 5 February, interlarded with a few stores of timely interest that may jog your memory as to what was going on at the time.
I think I got pretty much every coronavirus story during that time, except for ones from very sketchy sources.
For context, President Trump banned travel from China on 31 January. The stories are posted in chronological order, earliest story first, latest story last.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

This comment kind of got lost at the end of the last thread, so for anyone who missed it, I’m reposting it here.

Here’s something just posted on Facebook by Bill Gertz (Mods, if it is not OK to post this, please delete):

It’s war. Today I had a fascinating meeting — both physical in an office in Alexandria and two by video conference — with five retired Army medical doctors, two of whom were White House presidential doctors and two who worked at the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, aka Fort Detrick, the one that specializes in biological warfare defenses.

All the doctors but one are in private practice now and are steeped in the coronavirus pandemic.

So, some interesting take aways from my meeting.

These doctors treating patients for the disease still do not know a lot about the Wuhan pneumonia. But one thing that is changing is that the disease is about to get officially re-categorized from a mainly respiratory affliction to an inflammatory malady or a combination of both. The reason is the blood coagulation issue that is cropping up as key characteristic. This is causing blood clotting that is killing people in addition to the lung damage and immune over-response that causes multiple organ damage or failure.

One doctor said this inflammatory disease aspect is like the opposite of Ebola, a hemorrhagic disease that kills by causing massive bleeding. Covid is killing through blood clots or blood coagulation. The latest treatment tests are now trying a combination of the anti-viral drug remdesivir plus an anti-inflammatory drug.

Second, the way out of the virus crisis is looking, well, not good. The people leading the response in WH NIH, and CDC are flying blind while claiming to be committed to following the data. The doctors say the data has been wrong on all fronts so claims that everything is being done on a “science-based” approach to the response is not accurate.

The White House Task Force is adamantly opposed to the so-called Swedish model of seeking to defeat the virus through herd immunity. Fauci, et. al are not allowing any discussion of Sweden’s less stringent, non-lockdown approach.

I asked the doctors of the three routes to virus defeat — herd immunity, therapy/treatment and vaccine — what is the best?

Answer: all three. But currently we’re only doing two! Therapy and vaccine. And most of the vaccine work being done is going to be to produce a vaccine like the flu vaccine, which is iffy at best for preventing the disease. One ex-military doctor said there needs to be a vaccine similar to smallpox that includes live virus. That is going to be way off. Another doctor said vaccines are coming along and that the Big Pharma working on it claim they are prepared, once approved, to produce 100 million doses by September and 300 million doses by January.

I briefed the doctors on the Chinese mishandling and my new booklet How China’s Communist Party Made the World Sick and it was very well received.

All the doctors agreed with me that unless original virus samples are obtained directly from China, it will be very difficult to find the origin and craft remedies to defeat the virus. China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology initially promised to provide original virus samples from those infected in December but then reneged and refused.

The doctors had no insights but generally ascribed to the current official thinking on the two origin theories: (a) naturally occurring spread from the wet market in Wuhan, or (b) an accidental and uncontained infection from a Wuhan lab leading to outbreak.

The Fort Detrick doctors noted that they had responded to virus infections at their P-4 labs in the past and appropriate action was taken to prevent larger infections. China through incompetence did not handle a laboratory infection and we’re paying the price now.

This is my military-grade mask that are sold at the Pentagon. I dislike having to wear a mask and object to being forced to do so in stores. But if I’m going to wear one, it might as well be miltiary-grade and camo to boot.

The mask comes in military-specific variants. The Navy version comes with a mini-AN/SPY-1 phased array radar and is known as the Aegis mask; the Air Force one is equipped with a aerial refueling capability; the Army mask comes with a mud filter and the Marines...nails. Something to chew on.

suggestion

The ‘Western States Pact” is demanding $1T in ‘virus reparations’

I suggest that every elected representative in each state asking, including the governors and their entire administrative network, take a 6-month paycut to unemployment-level wages, instead of adding another trillion to our grandchildren’s tax burden. They can use that payroll savings to fund their mismanagement. (Such as hiring ‘private detectives’ at inflated wages for contact tracing instead of utilizing existing unemployment/welfare dept employees already on payroll and sitting at home collecting pension time). Maybe then, they will understand the impact the virus has had on the ‘little people’. And not be so flippant in their outrageous requests for spending, spending, spending at the expense of the rest of the country.

Canadian-approved N95 mask targeted by Chinese counterfeiters

Cases show a flood of dangerous and deceptively-labelled masks is pouring out of China

A Chinese-made mask approved by Health Canada is the subject of a counterfeit warning issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S.

The Associated Press has reported that counterfeit masks, intended to mimic medical-grade N95 masks made by the Shanghai Dasheng company and approved for use in Canada, already have been distributed to front-line medical staff at some U.S. hospitals.

And a separate Chinese mask maker also licensed by Health Canada has seen its approval pulled by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States.

The Guangdong Golden Leaves Technology Development Co. Ltd. was one of 65 Chinese manufacturers whose authorization to sell in the U.S. was withdrawn following tests by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The manufacturer remains approved in Canada, but its product has not been distributed to health care workers here, a spokesperson for Public Services and Procurement Canada told CBC News.

Both cases illustrate the difficulties faced by governments in trying to procure reliable masks when a flood of fake, shoddy and deceptively-labelled products is pouring out of China.

Fake numbers proliferating

All masks approved for use in U.S. hospitals must have a Testing and Certification (TC) number issued by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The CDC has warned that the TC number issued to the Shanghai Dasheng Co. for its masks — TC 84A-4329 — has been misappropriated by other Chinese makers seeking to sell substandard products in the U.S. market.

U.S. government agencies like the National Park Service have been warning their workers to watch out for the fake masks.

Health Canada approved Shanghai Dasheng’s DTC3X N95 masks by interim order on April 27. That interim order process has been used during the pandemic to fast-track approval of medical devices for use in Canada.

West Virginia distributed 50,000 fake DTC3X masks to first responders — and kept them in use after the CDC warned the state they might be counterfeit, and after the real Shanghai Dasheng Co. warned that its products were being faked.

CBC News has asked Health Canada and Public Services and Procurement Canada about the masks, but has not yet received an answer.

Masks help stop the spread of coronavirus – the science is simple and I’m one of 100 experts urging governors to require public mask-wearing

The evidence

The research that first convinced me was a laser light-scattering experiment. Researchers from the National Institutes of Health used lasers to illuminate and count how many droplets of saliva were flung into the air by a person talking with and without a face mask. The paper was only recently published officially, but I saw a YouTube video showing the experiment in early March. The results are shockingly obvious in the video. When the researcher used a simple cloth face cover, nearly all the droplets were blocked.

This evidence is only relevant if COVID-19 is transmitted by droplets from a person’s mouth. It is. There are many documented super-spreading cases connected with activities – like singing in enclosed spaces – that create a lot of droplets.

The light-scattering experiment cannot see “micro-droplets” that are smaller than 5 microns and could contain some viral particles. But experts don’t think that these are responsible for much COVID-19 transmission.

While just how much of a role these small particles play in transmission remains to be seen, recent research suggests that cloth masks are also effective at reducing the spread of these smaller particles. In a paper that has not yet been peer-reviewed, researchers found that micro-droplets fell out of the air within 1.5 meters of the person who was wearing a mask, versus 5 meters for those not wearing masks. When combined with social distancing, this suggests that masks can effectively reduce transmission via micro-droplets.

Another recent study showed that unfitted surgical masks were 100% effective in blocking seasonal coronavirus in droplets ejected during breathing.

If only people with symptoms infected others, then only people with symptoms would need to wear masks. But experts have shown that people without symptoms pose a risk of infecting others. In fact, four recent studies show that nearly half of patients are infected by people who do not themselves have symptoms.

This evidence seems, to me, clear and simple: COVID-19 is spread by droplets. We can see directly that a piece of cloth blocks those droplets and the virus those droplets contain. People without symptoms who don’t even know they are sick are responsible for around half of the transmission of the virus.

We should all wear masks.

What are the thoughts here about the “Warp Speed” vaccine initiative?

Anti-vaccers need not reply - I already know what you’ll say.

Of course, there is always the possibility that a vaccine will confer only limited immunity, the virus may mutate around it, etc.

I do know this: Lacking an effective vaccine, in a great many business & especially small business environments, even modest mitigation efforts / precautions are a killer just from the standpoint of time and / or business resources involved per customer or worker. Even in “normal life” (sort of) activities, my ability to “get stuff done” is significantly impaired — and I don’t take precautions to quite the level some here do. In business particularly, automation can help with some of this, but at a cost. In some areas, well... welcome to your robot dentist?

In the entire Rio Grand Valley of Texas, only one hospital received the new anti viral drug. And they only received enough for 3 patients.
