NEVER EVER LET anyone with a dystopian world view make economic decisions ever again.

In fact, quarantine them safely and comfortably until the crisis is over.

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.

The false positive rate was 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 or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

Thanks!

Thanks for the new thread. At the end of the previous thread I posted this:

I've seen that post before. All conditions listed are part of the same condition resulting from insulin resistance. This is referred to as metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome, also known as syndrome X or dysmetabolic syndrome, refers to a cluster of metabolic conditions that can lead to heart disease.

The main features of metabolic syndrome include insulin resistance, hypertension (high blood pressure), abnormal cholesterol, and an increased risk for clotting. People diagnosed with this syndrome are usually overweight or obese.

Metabolic Syndrome

Intercellular zinc deficiency is a common feature of Type 2 Diabetes (advanced metabolic syndrome).

Zinc and diabetes mellitus: understanding molecular mechanisms and clinical implications

Glycated hemoglobin and changes in normal ferritin blood levels is a common feature of Type 2 and Metabolic Syndrome:

A STUDY ON RELATION BETWEEN SERUM FERRITIN AND GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Almost half of Americans of all ages are unhealthy. It is not because they don't follow dietary device, it is because they do follow it. It is not because they don't "move more." It is because they can't outrun a bad diet.

Metabolic Syndrome is easily reversed with reduction in processed food and seed oils, low carbohydrate intake and time restricted eating to allow the human body to recycle damaged organelles via Autophagy. Patients after weight loss will tend to move more. Trying to convince them that exercise will cure them or they are not doing it enough is sadistic.

Metabolic Syndrome increases with age, however BMI is not as good of a predictor as Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Main elderly fall in the low to healthy BMI ranges, however suffer from insulin resistance. I've posted a few times now that they are Thin Outside, Fat Inside (TOFI).

The virus infections seem to show the same pattern. Attacking the old with great lethality first, while infecting the younger later with grave illnesses requiring hospital support.

Hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are part of the same phenomena. HbA1c should be the first line test after viral infection to understand the patients disease course and medical treatment.

Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources

https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/intelligence-report-warned-coronavirus-crisis-early-november-sources-70031273

Of course they knew, and began the process of vetting and reporting.

Us casual news hounds knew by mid January just before the big quarantines in China.

NEVER EVER LET anyone with a dystopian world view make economic decisions ever again.

How about never let China release a deadly virus again. When China shut down, a worldwide Great Depression was already baked in.

Thanks.

Dr. Birx warns of ‘very acute second wave’ of coronavirus infections if social distancing measures are relaxed

https://www.yahoo.com/news/dr-birx-warns-very-acute-151003365.html

Of course we will have a second wave.

This country is NOT going to stay in lockdown through the summer and fall.

It just won’t happen, no matter the course of events.

[metmom]

I don’t think there’s any stopping them.

Without divine intervention, we are in for rough ride.
