Already been passed over by CoronaVirus?

Has the Coronavirus already come and gone for most of the US? Adam Houseley, formerly of FoxNews, says that MAY be the case...

‘We’ had a weird little virus the 3rd week of January. Youngest spawn and I went to the rural walmart (which oddly enough was loaded with asians, even though no asians live i this area) to get cat food and some incidentals. About a week later we came down with a weird virus that gave us headaches and a few days later the rest of the agnes household got it as well.

So we’ve wondered.

Also wondered about all the Asians in a rural store in an area where there aren’t but maybe 1 or 2 Asian families living there.

I was sick late October through November. Never had a cough and sickness last that long. Exactly the symptoms of coronavirus. The date is too early, I know, but still.

But still...

There may be many Corona varieties around that have never been identified and do not cause significant symptoms but cross react in some tests or give a degree of immunity to people who are exposed.


The answer to that depends upon what you mean.

Roughly 80% of cases of the common cold are caused by roughly 200 strains of rhinovirus. Most of the remainder are caused by coronaviruses. That said, there are some flu-causing coronaviruses like the Wuhan coronavirus, SARs and MERS. The Wuhan coronavirus is similar to the other two named there, but far more infectious, and rather less lethal per infection (SARS 10-12%, MERS 30-35%, COVID-19 as reported in China 3.9-4.5%).

There might be an individual strain of coronavirus which causes some cross-immunity, but in general pretty much everyone world-wide has been exposed to at least some form of coronavirus.

That’s interesting. my doctor and said he didn’t think the flu vaccine was going to be too effective this year, and he didn’t think they were going to reformulate it halfway through as they sometimes do.


They used to have multiple varieties available before the great consolidation as part of Hillary-care.

That said, in the late summer, my doctor advised me to wait until October to get the updated flu shot because the earlier version was a miss. That vaccine came out in mid-October.

I will be interested if they develop an exposure/antibody test.


There has been word of teams working on that version of a test. That can get very fast results if it works.

Huh? If you don’t want to know possible theories of what is going on, I’m sure you can find some sand to stick your head in. I think it is worthy of discussion and exploration. I find the experiences of fellow Freepers interesting.

I procrastinated, didn’t bother to get mine until the end of January. So if they did reformulate it that’s the one I got.

I read a question as to whether the Chicoms lied about the timing,


That much is certain. The evidence has suggested for a few weeks that the first case would have been in mid- to late-November. Here is just another step in the confirmation of it.

Yes, it was too early for North America based on gene sequencing. The very first case in China could have been in that time frame, but only barely.

****************

With the huge amount of travel between China and the US, especially Wuhan, since that place is both a major air/transport/shipping hub *and* a major industrial center with a solid crap ton of product formerly owned by America, there’s very nearly zero chance the virus didn’t show up here within days of it hitting there.

If you do not know to look for a disease mechanism, you are unlikely to find it unless you are a research hospital.


OTOH, that all/winter flu outbreak was widespread enough that research hospitals would have seen the x-rays and CAT scans, and the COVID pattern is distinctive enough that even normal radiologists would have begun picking up on it.

Just sayin'...

The paradox is that one can’t really justify gearing up to that level if it doesn’t happen.

The problem is that bureaucracies don’t respond well to exogenous forces. They keep doing what they do including continuing to maintain an inflexible obstructive regulatory stance rather than standing aside and letting those who can and will take initiative do what they will do.


I don’t think we’re arguing here, though I was referring to the will to make them gear up and change. It takes a pretty hard smack to get a bureaucracy to change, and even then it will usually start trying to claw its way back to the remembered ‘normal’.

You saw a 747 fall into Lake Washington? Don’t think so. But please provide details.?

The boewing plant in Renton had a runway that ended at the lake. As they were doing a test flight with the 747 they overran the runway and ended up in the lake. I remember it clearly, the entire test plane was bright orange. Must have been around 1967.

This is their one hope in beating DJT.

I rather doubt they've taken assassination off the table.

Pray for Trump, pray for the USSS, pray HARD!

Doing these diagnostics is one of the reasons we pay doctors and pay them so much. I’m not so sure it absolutely takes the medical training to distinguish this Wuhan coronavirus from the varieties regular flu, but it at least takes a lot of confirmed examples to do it the rote way. Members of the populace at large don’t get that experience. Not a lot of doctors/RNs/Practitioners/midwives have it in this case.

When I saw my doctor (whenever that was), he’d only read about it a few days before. He’s a young one who actually reads journals and keeps up to date.

If as many as a thousand people had it in Wuhan, even then, the chance of anyone with it was on a plane to the US was pretty small - and that’s a bit more than a few days to get to the thousand even there.
