Continuation of the Thread
You might want to check the temps in Italy. It is in Southern Italy.
The Italian aspect is interesting because of info i have seen but not verified that the ace2 receptor issue is lower in Italians than many other gene pools
BAHRAIN
Bahrain announced on Wednesday that the number of coronavirus infections has risen to 26 after 3 new cases were confirmed, according to the state news agency (BNA).

Singapore has a kick ass CDC/health authority.
They’re doing something called ‘sentinel testing’. That’s randomly testing people who are showing no symptoms.
Like: ‘hello mrs ling, I see you’re here for your yearly checkup. We would like to do a test for that coronavirus that’s going around. We don’t think you have it but we want to get an idea of where it is and where it isn’t. ....thank you mrs. ling, you are coronavirus free and your checkup looks fine! see you next year!’.
If you are a Trump person, and you have followed him for the last three or more years, why would you imply in ALL CAPS that he would lie to the American people about this situation? Only a drama queen would.
I went to Walmart and noticed a big difference in stock on shelves. No idea if from people buying it or from supply issues ...or they have just decided to keep less inventory.
ITALY - 455 cases
Coronavirus, positive student of the University of Florence. “First case in a university”
He is a 26 year old Norwegian who lives in the center, who has returned to Italy for a few days
Florence, February 26, 2020 - A 26-year-old Norwegian student tested positive for a first coronavirus test in Florence and for which the Tuscany Region awaits validation by the ISS. This is the first case of a university student in Italy infected with the coronavirus ( CLICK HERE for the press release from the University of Florence).
The health authorities have activated an epidemiological investigation to reconstruct the presence of other possible cases related to that of the 26 year old. According to what has been reconstructed, the student had returned from Florence for five days , by plane, with a stopover in Monaco , after a period of two weeks spent in his country. Times that currently do not exclude that he may have contracted any infection in his country of origin, or during the return trip to Italy.

Since there are apparently four cold strains of coronavirus, you may well have had one.
This is different and interesting still to see how much of it is weaponized against us versus against Trump.
I do find it interesting that Rush, who presumably gets insider talking points, was trying to talk it down.
Dr. Dave Janda, who has some good DC sources, says he believes it was a Deep State offensive against Trump and his re-election. He says Asians genetically have 5x the element in the lungs that the virus adheres to, and it also is much stronger against smokers. He thinks the fear and driving down of the economy is the game here, which would fit with Chuckie’s games. He also notes that the left that is so talking this up is completely against quarantine for illegals from our Southern border, despite all the diseases they introduce and reintroduce into our country.
In all seriousness, Singapore has its act together. Their experience with SARs literally had them write the textbook on how to respond.
Singapore has the best contact tracking system in the world. They “take no prisoners” and their culture is intelligent and compliant.
It would be impossible to do that kind of contact tracking and isolation in the US.
Many virologists have said that Singapore is the gold standard and exemplar. If it breaks out there, it’s really bad news.
//seriousness off
Plus if you break quarantine—you get caned.
Forget pills. We got a bottle of something called ‘rebel yell’.

Do you disagree with him?
“WILL PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TELL US THE TRUTH?”
Well, he better. Nobody wants panic, but tweeting about how the market is looking good, while it is in the midst of an 8% drop is not communicating strength and confidence.
The one way to ensure panic is if people conclude this is being intentionally downplayed to keep people from panicking.
US has 60 cases, 6 recovered.

Most viruses die at 86 F - Singapore is just starting to reach that temp, and has few new cases ...
“The big question is how much of the truth he has been told.”

If he’s not asking important questions he’s not doing his job. I think most of us would have some questions on what’s what and would pose them.
I just hope he focuses more on the virus itself and not on the political & media feuds.
Meijer was the same. I wasn’t sure if it was low stock after inventory or a slowdown in stock from China to refill the shelves due to coronavirus.
Either way, something is going on.
Buddy, I am so calm you would think me asleep.
How you doing? Everything OK?
No cough? no fever? We are checking fevers of everyone in the thread.
Welcome to FR.
Did Coronavirus bring you here?
Any recent travel to Wuhan? No? You’re good to go.
National address at 6:30 ET?
