Zali also acknowledged that “many” of those who have died from the COVID-19 illness caused by the virus were otherwise healthy, a rare admission by local authorities that the virus does not only prey on the sick and elderly.

Islam is heavy with pederasts. They probably have lots of immune-compromised HIV+ men in the population.

Not sure why they need blood for pneumonia, fever, etc.

Hospitals will still continue to get their usual number of people who have been in car crashes, muggings, etc, who will need emergency surgery and thus blood.

Agreed.

I've posted a couple articles about underlying insulin resistance, zinc deficiency and viral replication.

Simple tests measuring HbA1c and oral glucose tolerance may very well correlate with severity of infection. Until US medicine recognizes pre-diabetes is diabetes, we will continue to under diagnosis a reversible condition and risk factor.

It's a respiratory disease. It's not black magic.

No.

This is a systemic infection causing changes in all ACE2 receptor systems: Protein Atlas ACE2

Primary infection begins is the respiratory tract requiring medical support for those whose comorbidity allows for rapid replication of virus.

Other places of reported long term damage are kidneys and testis.

The primary reports at the moment are related to the surge in medical support for respiratory support. Secondary reports are now showing damage to other ACE2 expression systems.

I don't know why they wouldn't call in non-controlled meds. My wife's hospital system does that as a standard practice.

I'm not recommending this, however if you call after hours to the physician on call, I bet they will call it into the pharmacy for a refill. Have the pharmacy number, Rx and dosage available when they ask.

That is the sanitary stack/vent. I’m not surprised since viral contamination is found in stool.

” Other places of reported long term damage are kidneys and testis. “

And heart. Not totally clear if ACE2 related.

The 1918 Spanish Flu only infected 30-35% of the world's population overall - 500 million of the 1400 million in the world at the time, and 50 million died of it (10% of those infected). 1/3 of the US population contracted it and 2% of those died.

All over a period of about a year, in multiple "waves", before the thing mutated to something much less dangerous.

This 2019 Chinese Virus seems to be about as infectious as the 1918 Flu but only half as lethal, given that about half those infected don't show symptoms and don't realize they are sick.

I very much doubt the high-end estimates of the proportion of the population who will catch it (the ones of 60% plus). My experience is that such worse case events rarely happen in reality. 30% - 50% infected is more likely, and closer to 30% IMO.

Even then it will take multiple waves over a period of a year or two to infect the maximum number of people. Some American cities suffered 5-6 "pulses" of the 1918 Flu.

This thing has been around since November. How do we know the damage is "long term"?

The FDA will prevent the manufacture and import of ventilations it hasn’t approved.

If only POTUS could tell us. Perhaps, the ramifications both here and abroad are too unpredictable, and outcomes too dangerous?

Freepers have been going at it quite robustly, with one line of thinking by a group stumped by the unprecedented, draconian measures being implemented by state and federal agencies, with current mortality statistics saying otherwise, and another group content in the somewhat historical actions being taken by our government.

Why? Why? Why? Why are these sweeping measures being taken with so few deaths (to date) in comparison to other past outbreaks?

We are learning the savage nature of this beast for those incapable of fighting off it’s ravaging effects.

2 + 2 is not adding up to four.

Take care of your immune system FRiend.
