Avoid cash to stop coronavirus spreading, World Health Organisation warns
metro.co.uk ^ | 3 Mar 2020 | Sam Courtney-Guy

Global health authorities have advised people to use contactless payments instead of banknotes where possible in order to stop spreading the new coronavirus.

Health experts have previously warned that the virus can survive on inert surfaces long enough to infect new hosts, although the risk is believed to be lower than human-to-human contact.

But a spokesperson for the World Health Organisation (WHO) told the Telegraph on Monday that the virus can remain infectious on banknotes for several days.

The Bank of England has also acknowledged that banknotes ‘can carry bacteria or viruses’ and encourages shoppers to wash their hands after using them.

I agree - t will likely become another “Flu bug” that makes annual rounds.

I’m very proud of my daughter - she is accomplished enough that she can choose where she works and if she ever thinks she needs a few extra hours, she has her choice of surgical centers to “moonlight” in. She’s starting to take courses to become Nurse Practitioner.

Amen brother.

Besides the calls to eliminate cash (spreads virus germs), I read today about the need for governments to track all people: "We don't know where the infected people are or where they are traveling to, we need more thorough tracking."

The lawlessness is off the charts, with Schumer threatening Supreme Court Justices with violence if they dare curtail the slaughter of innocent children.

"Pedophile rights" are now spoken of openly - something I would not have even dreamed possible.

More and more citizens in Israel are now calling for the Temple to be re-built.

World banks are "warning" of a crisis, and may have to take "emergency" action.

How close we seem...….come Lord Jesus.

My Christian brother who I ran into the other day, said something several weeks ago that struck home in my soul.

There’s an urgency now like never before.

I told him I sensed it too and was glad he confirmed it (without prompting from me).

I’m not setting a date for anything to happen, of course. It was just a confirmation for me. Helped me to decide to order those tracts.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Just use your Apple watch....simply double click side button, on watch, and hover over the pay pad. Viola! No germs.

(Wipe down watch, just as an ‘abundance of caution’.)

Use contaminated touch pads and screens instead

madison10:" True. health officials are not sure the virus spreads that way, but we get your push for a cashless planet, WHO."

The cashless society that the credit cards companies have been pushing for years, now has some medical support.
Swiping a card does have certain benefits, except when you have to put in your PIN # on the contaminated keypad.
Then , all bets are off ...

lastchance :" I wonder too why people are treating this virus as a temporary aberration which will run its course then be gone.
Personally I think it is here to stay."

I agree that it will linger around for a while.
Already known that there are two strains of the virus : "S" and another "L" strain.
The "S" strain is the more virulent, stronger strain that results in more fatalities; it also is the 'mother' of the "L" strain.
The "L" strain is the weaker of the viri, or the 'lessor strain', or weaker version which is akin to regular influenza.
I believe that in China, the "S" strain has been supplanted by the "L" strain, since the "S" strain burned out, having killed so many of its' hosts.
What's concerning to me is the possible pulmonary and nervous system damage done by the virus,
and the possibility of re-infection where so much damage has already been done.
Don't forget that with the Ebola virus years ago, we were still finding latent viri secreted in male testes and in eye mucousa 6 months after infection.

Truth...

When I see any organization that starts with “World” I immediately say no

Look into the WTO. World Trade Organization, there is a great video on YT that explains how they manipulate supply and demand to their own self enrichment

Thanks for the post

Thanks for that information. Something that just occurred to me in reading your post is this, “Could the virus also become a trigger for autoimmune diseases such as MS?”

As to the “S” strain burning out, is it possible that it will “learn” to be less lethal or infect less vulnerable population such as healthy children in order to survive? Dumb question, I know.

There is no such thing as a dumb question (!!) , especially when it concerns one's health.
The problem is in the RNA of all viri; they adapt and change and mutate so readily that there is a certain amount of unpredictability.
This is why so many of research doctors and technicians get so frustrated, and why research monies dry up so quickly.
Development of viri research is generally thought to be a financial "loss leader" for most pharmaceuticals, that they have abandoned research.
It is all about the unpredictability.
For example, the flu vaccine of 2017-18 was only about 40% effective, due to influenza "A" and strain "B".
The influenza shots minimized only 40% fewer doctor visits or admissions to medical care; it was a professional educated guess by virologists.
You can't make money to comphensate for research on an educated guess, unless you are underwritten by government.

There is some recent research evidence that covid-19 may attack not just the pulmonary system,
but also the nervous system which controls breathing.
The virus is so novel, and the Chinese are less than cooperative with information, that there is much recent information coming out from NIH and CDC.
This research has not undergone peer review, nor had official publication, so it remains interesting, but still is conjecture.
Medical researchers are learning more and more each day, from reliable local sources,
rather than relying solely on the Chinese government sources.

“..but also the nervous system which controls breathing” It also controls cardiac function. One of the results of my MS is having an abnormal EKG. Of course this was only discovered after lots and lots of testing for other causes. And by the way the monitors of stress testing get a little put out if you clutch your arm and shout “I’m coming Elizabeth!” But really they asked me every 10 seconds if I was doing alright.

How convenient.

So instead, we should touch those filthy keypads that everyone else is using?????

I’ve read about how dirty touch screens are at places like restaurants where you can order your food online or remotely.

I know!

Here’s a great idea,.....

So nobody has to touch anything, they can just implant a chip in your hand.

Amen. Maranatha, Lord Jesus.
