Apparently the CCP/PLA is telling chinese citizens that this coronavirus was modified, by the US, with ebola to selectively kill chinese people...

[blueplum]

no indication where or when this video was taken:
could have been early on ? or are these people who died inside their apts and were brought out to the street for pick-up? no context.

A virus called Wuhan-400 causes outbreak … in a Dean Koontz thriller from 1981. How is it that some books appear to prophesy events?

The Eyes of Darkness features a Chinese military lab in Wuhan that creates a virus as a bioweapon; civilians soon become sick after accidentally contracting it

“Oh I’m sure the CDC is working very hard to design nice flyers and write lengthy papers.”

I added my email on their website for their Coronavirus updates about 5 days ago and so far I haven’t received one email advisory, not one. Guess they’re busy with more important things.

[bgill]

I still want to know why, in 2018, virus Dr. Timothy Cunningham walked out of his CDC office and was found dead in the river a few days later.

[bgill]

Wanna bet they’ll hook that ventilator up to a 25 year old hottie and let the 40 and older sit in the corner.

[bgill]

Make sure the obamys hear this.

[Black Agnes]

Look up ‘dead virologists’.

The list will astound you.

This isn’t just him and it’s not recent.

(although his death was disturbing enough, make no mistake)

[blueplum]

yeah, they’ve been on an anti-American kick from day one. Remember the video about 3 weeks ago of that old man praying to his budda statue to bring the virus to the US?

now they’ve started this, Chinese traditional medicine is curing Chinese, look at the Chinese TCM doctors treating our patients, rah rah rah kind of propaganda, and downplaying any western medicine. Which, of course, is just going to make things worse.

If they didn’t have nukes I’d say China’s problem is China’s problem...

But we have no other choice than ‘tough love’ at this point.

Which, btw, we’re not doing because ‘muh business interests’...

[bgill]

Even all hazmat-ed up, two of the nurses treating the Ebola patient in Dallas caught it.

[BusterDog]

"...if this happens in a rural hospital, they do not have the facilities to deal with it."

In most cities, they won't have the first responder services to deal with it.

There will be plenty of muggings, burglaries, shootings, stabbings, etc. for paramedics to respond to. They will have to be in full biohazard garb not matter what they respond to, so following those protocols is going to take a lot of time and decrease the amount of calls they can respond to anyway.

911 won't even respond if you call in because a family member is sick, they will say hospitals are full, quarantine at home. If you can get the family member to the hospital, that's fine, but you probably won't be seen today.

They will have to slow everything they do way down and follow very careful protocols for the safety of the hospital workers, or they won't come to work. This isn't China.

[Black Agnes]

Yup.

And they knew the guy HAD ebola...because HE WAS TESTED!

We’re still not testing anybody that hasn’t recently returned from China for this particular critter.

[blueplum]

in the meantime, guess what the CDC’s Tedros is up to? yes, he’s saving Africa by making sure they have test kits, and writing articles sainting China - again:

Lancet - Feb 24
Scientists are sprinting to outpace the novel coronavirus

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30420-7/fulltext

On Feb 3, 2020, the only African countries with laboratories that could test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were South Africa and Senegal. This scarce capacity was a major concern for a continent bracing for possible infections. Just a fortnight later, WHO had sent testing kits to 27 countries on the continent, which are already being used.3 By the end of this week, the number of countries able to detect COVID-19 is expected to have risen to 40. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention has led training for these countries in Senegal, with further sessions scheduled for the week of Feb 24, 2020, in South Africa.3

[justa-hairyape]

How convenient. Completely disband all government organizations that fail so miserably.

[9YearLurker]

Supposedly they were the same flawed kits that the CDC had started to disperse here.

[Excubiae]

I am 99% sure these are homeless people. Towards the end, one moves.

[Black Agnes]

And still we have 46 states that have NO test kits.

Maybe we should apply to be a member of the African Centres for Disease Control, they at least seem to be on the ball with this.

[Black Agnes]

Some of us begin to think the kits weren’t flawed so much as the CDC and HHS didn’t want the answers.
