“As the coronavirus continues to spread around the world, a Chinese government-owned think tank is soliciting opinions to gauge how the international community might receive a Chinese alternative to the World Health Organization.

LOL. The think tank must have broken into the alcohol locker during lunch and hit the huangjiu pretty hard. There's not much chance of a PRC alternative to the WHO taking place.

the flu stats are misleading because so many of us do not run to the doctor so our illness is not counted....

WHO was stupid before the Chinese got to them.

The Chinese just made total monkeys out of them in this case.

Well, that’s how NK would handle them... and it’s very appealing.
Before this WHO was just a typical useless world org. China made them practically criminal.

CenturyLink Field employee who worked XFL game diagnosed with coronavirus
8:37 PM ET

A stadium employee who worked at the XFL’s Seattle Dragons home game Feb. 22 at CenturyLink Field has tested positive for the coronavirus, King County health officials said, but as of now, no games scheduled to be played at the facility have been canceled.

The MLS’ Seattle Sounders host the Columbus Crew at CenturyLink on Saturday.

The Seattle Times reported that the employee who tested positive for the virus — which causes the disease known as COVID19 — was a concessions vendor.

IDK.
China’s influence on the world’s media, including ours, makes almost any scheme of influence feasible.

I don’t trust and don’t read any research from China.

91% straight is going to dry your skin out like a long day at the beach. Add a little bottled water to it to take the % down a tad and decrease flammability. (might add some aloe gel too, if you’re going to use it as a hand sanitizer)

The CDC website recommends 70-91%.

Why not use 95 or 99%?
When you sear a roast, you’re protecting the juices inside the meat. The higher percentage alcohol you use, the faster you’re going to sear or seal the outside of a cell and the alcohol isn’t going to get inside that cell. Water prevents searing and acts as a tool for the alcohol to enter the cell. The pressure difference between the water on the outside and pressure inside of the cell sucks that alcohol right in. Water also has a static charge that will help Velcro onto both the virus and the alcohol, reducing evaporation time and giving the alcohol more time to do its thing.

RECIPE - reducing 91% to 70%

In cups, from eHOW.co.uk

Measure out one cup of 91 per cent rubbing alcohol, and pour it into the plastic container.
Add one-third of a cup of water and stir to mix the solution. The solution is now 70 per cent rubbing alcohol.

In grams (from answers.com)

measure 77 g of 91% alcohol and add 23 g of water.

Chinese scientists identify two types of the coronavirus — with faster spread of the more aggressive kind

Sam Meredith
1 day ago

https://www.bing.com/search?q=Coronavirus%3A%20Chinese%20scientists%20identify%20two%20types%20COVID-19&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&pq=coronavirus%3A%20chinese%20scientists%20identify%20two%20types%20covid-19&sc=0-59&sk=&cvid=C8AB85B766B84070987AF4829D7C87A1&ajf=60

The more aggressive type of virus was found to be prevalent in the early stages of the outbreak in Wuhan — the Chinese city where COVID-19 was first detected late last year.
But, the frequency of this type of virus has since decreased from early January, the scientists said.
Researchers cautioned that data examined in the study was still “very limited.”

Sometimes the Army can be very efficient.
This would be such a case: protecting their loved ones.

... and sometimes they’re goofballs.

That influence will be waning somewhat due to COVID-19. Well, hope it does.

We can hope.
They’ll still have all those pics of important Americans with prostitutes though.
