The Forever Coronavirus Thread. 2/19-.....

2/19/2020

[Vermont Lt]

This will be the forever thread.

[Black Agnes]

I wasn’t entirely serious.

However...

If you can be reinfected so easily and quickly, it might amount to the same thing

Seriously? The CDC still isn’t buying into asymptomatic spread? I thought even the WHO was acknowledging this. We all wish this weren’t the case, but caramba isn’t there pretty good evidence from the Diamond Princess that this is a huge problem?

I think Alex is headed to his doomsday bunker...

Two big new findings.
Isolation (growth in cell culture) of SARS-CoV-2 from stool (http://weekly.chinacdc.cn/en/article/id/e53946e2-c6c4-41e9-9a9b-fea8db1a8f51…;) and from 2 asymptomatic people (https://nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2001899?query=featured_home…;).
*Now* we have evidence for more COVID-19 transmission routes.
Unknown how much either route contributes to spread

When, not if, it becomes endemic here...the cdc will shriek ‘but if trump and the mean republicans hadn’t cut our budget we could have stopped it!’

[justa-hairyape]

Never get out of the bunker. I have supplies for one month and going out for more.

[PA Engineer]

I’m leaning towards a lack of imagination and pure administrative incompetence at top levels of the State Department, Japan, cruise line and CDC.

[Black Agnes]

Based on the impeachment scandal, I’m leaning towards ‘resistors’ and ‘nevertrumpers’.

[LilFarmer]

I just someone Tweet to the president to please fund the CDC so they can buy tests.

Pathetic.

” Based on recent reports, this corona virus can act on lungs, heart, kidney. “

I interpreted that to mean a cytokine storm in the latter stages of a Cov infection can attack those additional organs. Pretty sure this is a specialized lower respiratory virus.

We should chip in and buy the CDC clowns tickets to Korea.

[Black Agnes]

Twitterlandia is full of those sorts of tweets.

And there’s no pushback against that sort of thing from the administration so far.

[Black Agnes]

Don’t look now, but another big place for ACE2 expression is ovaries.

Course, sterilizing the population via an easily transmissible virus is par for the course for the Gates mindset.

[SE Mom]

It’s really outrageous, isn’t it? It’s not as if we’re asking for names and addresses- simply what are the numbers of quarantined and/or hospitalized, what counties, what preparations are in place...simple stuff. Not violating any HIPPA protections.
