Coronavirus Live Thread. Live Thread 1
2/23/2020

Posted on 02/23/2020 1:57:16 PM PST by Vermont Lt

Figured we would start numbering the threads.

Some points to keep in mind:

1. This thing is not “just the flu.” 2. 1/10th of the worlds population is in some sort of lockdown. 3. Generally, we don’t buy the Chinese numbers But if anything they are low. 4. Everyone is welcome to post, but don’t bore us with your “you are panicking” posts. They are tedious.

It’s Sunday night and the Walking Dead is back. Let’s talk Coronavirus.

Back to work China! Work or die!

Oh yeah.

Even though it’s only a tiny fraction of the ‘carbon footprints’ they’d like to eliminate, it will definitely be a good start in their opinion.

Yup.

Kroger trucks need filters just like all other trucks. No filters, no kroger deliveries, no food on the shelves.

Cities burn down.

My wife had 2 seizures this morning. She's currently in an ICU bed. I suppose we're lucky the corona virus isn't filling our ICU yet. It's now 14 hours after the first one hit at 7 AM. She's sitting up, alert, responsive, watching TV in her ICU bed. No diagnosis in spite of lab workups for blood glucose, ketones, cardiac enzymes, head CT scan, chest CT scan, head MRI. An echo cardiogram is on tap for tomorrow. The intent to stay far away from ER/ICU facilities was subverted by the seizures. It was a DKA on August 26th that caused the first seizure. It's definitely not DKA this time.

And if we’re quarantined, most of us could do with a 14 day fast. Wouldn’t kill us and might eliminate the need for meds for most of us.

That could be interesting. At 5 ft 11 in and 150 lbs, I think a 14 day fast would definitely strip some weight off. I eat 600 calories on Mon/Thu and 1250 on Tu/Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun. I usually drop 2 to 3 pounds on the 600 calorie days.

You’re already on a restrictive diet.

I meant the rest of us :)

PING

They are telling us right here in black and white:

“However, it’s important to note that current global circumstances suggest it is likely that this virus will cause a pandemic. In that case, the risk assessment would be different.

“What May Happen

“More cases are likely to be identified in the coming days, including more cases in the United States. It’s also likely that person-to-person spread will continue to occur, including in the United States.

“Widespread transmission of COVID-19 in the United States would translate into large numbers of people needing medical care at the same time. Schools, childcare centers, workplaces, and other places for mass gatherings may experience more absenteeism.

“Public health and healthcare systems may become overloaded, with elevated rates of hospitalizations and deaths.

Other critical infrastructure, such as law enforcement, emergency medical services, and transportation industry may also be affected.

“Health care providers and hospitals may be overwhelmed.

“At this time, there is no vaccine to protect against COVID-19 and no medications approved to treat it.

“Nonpharmaceutical interventions would be the most important response strategy”

Top priority is to get her well and out of the hospital before any corona cases arrive. Getting a good diagnosis and treatment plan would be ideal. The saline IV and time are helping her recover from the event. A good root cause and plan of action to avoid a repeat would be great.

We have a confirmed case in Sacramento where I live. And her contacts also showing symptoms. But they won’t test them and just put them all on self quarantine honor system. That’s 100% true. Where is the media in all this?

Good info.

The number I have not seen is: What % of US manufacturing production depends on at least one necessary* or functional* component that comes from China? This includes tools and dies used to make the product or a component in it.

In a pandemic, perhaps it is better to ask that question but as follows: What % of US manufacturing production depends on at least one necessary* or functional* imported component? Again, this includes tools and dies used to make the product or a component in it.

*For example, a plastic logo might be made in China, or made with a mold made in China. However, it is not functionally necessary (except to the Sales Dept!), and could perhaps be quickly replaced with a printed adhesive label that a US printer could provide - assuming their machinery is US made!

Some items like plastic totes are made in the USA, but are the tools they are made with made here?

And so on.

A lot of consumer products are NOT necessary or “immediately necessary”, so efforts can be made to focus on, say, life critical items 1st. I think most manufacturers would voluntarily comply, but as much as I hate to say it, this could literally become a martial law type situation. Thank God we (at least for now) do not have any of these would-be dictators on the left for our President.

CDC, WHO, and other bureaucracies are going through their motions making themselves look relevant.

Acquaint yourself with someone that knows what’s really going on, Dr. Judy M_Kovits:

Wuhan Coronavirus Pandemic: Who’s Behind it, Why Now & Why China?
https://beforeitsnews.com/china/2020/01/wuhan-coronavirus-pandemic-whos-behind-it-why-now-why-china-2458417.html

I suspected this patented virus has a vaccine and is in the hands of certain people that plan population reduction for others. Trump is in their way, Trump is an existential threat to their network. Ta Da! The virus has captured your attention and now you are blind to maneuvers by those perpetrating the unthinkable.

What good does it do to follow and observe Chicken Littles? Rather than get wrapped around their news axle, ignore them and stock up on:

Osha Root Tincture - Known Use: Used to treat bacterial and viral respiratory infections including the flu, colds, sinus infection, H1N1 Influenza A, pneumonia, bronchitis, sore throat, cough

Oscillococcinum (take as soon as symptoms appear; provides immediate relief)

Bleach, of course

Colloidal Silver (take as soon as symptoms appear)

Sodium Ascorbate (salt form of Vit C, much better absorbed)

The above list is not posted for those in a panic. These items are good to stock regardless of “we’re all going to die” group think hysteria.
