I did some searching, found nothing pertaining specifically to your question. I did find a couple of articles stating there was no SARS vaccine.

Exactly, just numbers - nothing more.

It might be determined that CoV attaches to the ACE2 receptors on the cells of those organs, then the cytokine storm attacks the organ based on the presence of the foreign material. In fact, I would bet on it. The CoV is a target for the storm.

Yeah, there are several SARS vaccines, some being taken out of storage and tried against this new coronavirus. Others were in research trial stage and cancelled.

That took a long time; still no CDC? I guess the chicoms have hidden or cleaned up whatever they didn’t want them to find.

The Human Protein Atlas is a useful tool:

ACE2

You can click on each system to drill down. Also check out the Brain section. The differences between human and mouse brain for example demonstrate why many mouse studies to not recapitulate with human.

I admit that I haven’t looked at the budget that closely, but I recall hearing the CDC cuts were eliminating duplicative expenses.

I am sure if they walked into the Oval and said we need $10 billion to save a million lives it would take about a day to get the money released

And the CDC isn’t FEMA. I think people have watched too many movies about their role.

Pretty sure this is a specialized lower respiratory virus.

Why does it shed in stool well after it becomes undetectable in throat and lung swabs?

But they have no problem giving these numbers in FL. I don’t get it:

Source seems legit. Note it says ‘reports’ though.

“The crew of a Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy frigate has been placed in quarantine over coronavirus fears, Daily Star reported.

The report identified the frigate as Changzhou (549), a Type 054A frigate. The report said that the PLA chiefs have admitted the captain of the frigate, Yu Song Qiu, and a number of sailors of have been placed on lockdown...”

Just its presence isn’t indicative of very much. Where it is active (binding and ‘reproducing’) is what is important. If it truly is attracted to ACE2 receptors on any organ that is very concerning.

I don’t get it either. The local news stations in Orlando are pounding fluflufluflu constantly. Corona what? They’re being told how to frame it.

Yeah this thing should not be political at all, but, OF COURSE it’s political anyway. If it goes full on zombie apocalypse (sorry bad humor) then you’ll see what people are really made of.

Depends on a lot of uknowns that the last 2 days have not made any more optimistic - how easily it spreads, and how deadly. The MSM has done a good job of promoting the 2% CFR as if it were chopped liver, I even heard from a family member today “well it only kills 2%, even if I get it I probably won’t die” - to which I sputtered yeah maybe they’d be ok (smoker in their mid 70s) IF you are able to get top notch treatment at an ICU, which will all be FULL if this thing really hits!

“If it truly is attracted to ACE2 receptors on any organ that is very concerning.”

The flip side of that (good news) is that an agent that interferes with ACE2 binding (possibly ACE inhibitors or ACE Receptor Blockers *mixed evidence*) should be able to interfere with the coronavirus at all of these locations.
