Ayup.

IMHO it kills preferentially the over 60’s.

The 35-40 to 60’s probably end up with long term damage of some sort.

Hey, want nationalized single payer health care? Let a significant portion of your taxpaying population in their max earning years of 40-65 end up with long term medical needs from this. Financially ruinous ones. Single payer here we come!

The sterility thing alone would be why the governments are shutting down for this even if it doesn’t kill lots of people.

Imagine what a fertility rate of under 1.0 would do for the economy...worse than Japan long term.

And the papers I’ve read indicated it doesn’t JUST wipe out the swimmers, it deep sixes T production as well.

Millenials don’t have T to spare...imagine them with less T.

Making unemployment more profitable than working is a major mistake. This is a repeat of the Obama years where unemployment insurance was extended, then the unemployed worked out a scam to transition from unemployment to SSDI by employing charlatan lawyers and doctors to certify them. The term "funemployment" was common with the layabouts. We can't afford a return to those policies.

BILL DE BLASIO, LEADING BY EXAMPLE: Bill de Blasio and wife stroll through Brooklyn’s Prospect Park amid coronavirus. “‘Seriously you guys have a park. You live in the middle of a park. You don’t need to non-essentially travel to Brooklyn,’ Twitter user Darren Goldner says, referencing Carl Schurz Park near Gracie Mansion, in a clip posted to Twitter Saturday…This is selfish behavior,’ Goldner shouts to the backs of the mayor and McCray. ‘This is so terribly selfish. You call yourself a progressive, but you chauffeur yourself to Brooklyn. You force people to drive you.’”

Related: de Blasio’s latest crazy, no-good nepotistic job for Chirlane McCray. McCray was appointed head of “coronavirus racial inequality task force.”

Remember that CNY dinner in Wuhan?

The one with 40K families at a ‘buffet’?

The one that probably seeded the epidemic there?

If muslims want to be ‘open it back up’ guinea pigs, I say let them.

Interesting:

Western Spy Agencies Investigating Wuhan Scientist Highlighted By Zero Hedge In January

In a stunning expose, the Australian newspaper reports that "the Five Eyes intelligence agencies of Australia, Canada, NZ, UK and US, are understood to be looking closely at the work of a senior scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Peng Zhou, as they examine whether COVID-19 originated from a wet market or whether the naturally-­occurring virus may have been released from the level four laboratory in Wuhan that was studying deadly coronavirus pathogens from bats."

One press release from his lab was titled: "How bats carry viruses without getting sick." Via the Telegraph:

It can be revealed that Zhou — the head of the Bat Virus Infection and Immunity Project at the Wuhan Institute of Virology — spent three years at the bio-containment facility, Australian Animal Health Laboratory between 2011 and 2014, where he was sent by China to complete his doctorate.

During this time, Zhou arranged for wild-caught bats to be transported alive by air from Queensland to the Australian Animal Health Laboratory in Victoria where they were euthanised for dissection and studied for deadly viruses.

His work was funded jointly by the CSIRO and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It examined bat immunology and the role of interferons and how “bats are rich reservoirs for emerging viruses, including many that are highly pathogenic to humans and other mammals” and “many of which cause significant morbidity and mortality in humans and other mammals.”

Western intelligence is also looking into the work of the original "Bat Woman" Shi Zhengli, a colleague of Zhou who is the director of the Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The questions you may want to see are the most important ones.

5. What influence on hospitalizations and medical outcomes did the change to a national ketogenic diet (Government Standard 2013) have on Sweden compared to other countries?

6. How does the predominant cause of death and negative outcomes resulting from glycated hemoglobin compare between the Swedish people (Keto Diet) and American (Standard American Diet (SAD)) where 46%+ of the US population suffers metabolic syndrome?

7. Sweden has 3% of the US population. Has the shut down of world trade effected your economy. The US is highly depenedent on supply chains from China. The economic impact of an abrupt severing of the supply chain from China will have an obvious long term and devastating impact on the US economy. With just 3% of the US population, how will Sweden weather this loss?

There are numerous other differences between the small country of Sweden and the US. I think these will suffice to show the impossibility of comparing the two nations and their methods of handling a global plague resulting from a bioweapon.

What should be clear is that there are two pandemics. The VIRAL pandemic and the POLITICAL pandemic. The purpose of the political pandemic is to permanently rearrange the sources of power and control over many populations. A consequence of this is to dismember the brief but successful experiment in individual liberty and natural rights begun with the Enlightenment and Western liberalism. For this end America must die.

Like two ancient Titans, the opponents face off and use any and all events to advance their agendas. On the left, the number of participants are enormous, the list goes on and on. On the right, you can pretty much count the number of knights on one hand.

So with the Pepcid news out today I will repost the post I put up weeks ago from a conspiracy site...for what it’s worth. It was posted by the author at the end of January:

“Email I just sent to my estranged wife regarding Coronavirus. THIS COULD SAVE LIVES...
I know things... this is not Uncle intel,...
I work in Biohazard remediation and mitigation for a living. I specialize in disaster sites where a large number of people have passed and ensuring the site is safe for people to enter. (Think Hurricane Katrina) Places where there are cadavers, many; rotten, festering, wanting to harm others. Places that have been underwater for so long that the very walls are lined from end to end with toxic mold. So I have a inside line to people and things I cannot elaborate on

xxxx,

The Corona-virus is tearing it’s way across the world, and it is truly much worse than “they” are letting on. Is a big deal and I am afraid it may become a MUCH bigger deal.

You need to go to the store and buy one of these: Pepcid, Tagamet, Adix, or Zantac.
Buy enough for you, xxxxx, xxx, and whoever you want to save, enough last 2 weeks.
This covers your H2 antagonist drug.

Buy enough Prilosec, Prevacid. or Nexium to do the same as above.

This covers the PPI Drugs. (Proton Pump Inhibitors)

Lastly, I’d buy a big ass bottle of benadryl or generic benadry. aka... diphenhydramine.
This covers your need for a H1 antagonist.

You know what benadryl does. But the H2 drugs work in the same way except on different histamines. The PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) stops monocytes from going into overdrive. (Monocytes = White Blood Cells)
The Coronavirus hits in a similar way to the flu. As it is a “Novel Virus” meaning the body has never seen anything like this... the body goes nuts, to the point that your own immune system kills you in something called a Cytokine Storm.

This is very similar to a “Peanut Allergy”, in that it’s the bodies response that damages the person not the peanuts.

When to start this “therapy”? No need to take anything in advance. But at the first sign of “flu like symptoms” I’d start therapy. Take it as directed on the box.

You’ll read and hear about it on the news. Obviously!
What makes this virus “The Perfect Storm” is that it:
1. Has up to a 14 day incubation period.
2. The infected start shedding the virus in as little as 5 days after exposure.
3. Is as adaptable as the common cold. Meaning that about after each 3rd generation, the virus mutates into something that would require a completely different vaccination.

We could literally ALL have this virus and not know it.”

What a shame.

Republican senators tried to make the paycheck protection plan not pay more than a person had been earning when he was working. They were blasted by the media for it and knew that that would be a losing argument in the campaigns next fall.

At least right now the money that’s going out is only for a few weeks not for 98 weeks like Obama had. I talked to some people during that time who had planned to retire in the next two years but stayed on until they got laid off and then collected unemployment.

In general, Government dependent people are Democrat voters while hard-working private sector people are Republican voters

“So with the Pepcid news out today I will repost the post I put up weeks ago from a conspiracy site”

Let me put my tin foil hat on and dip my toe in the water. I remember the FDA making a big deal last year and earlier this year about Zatanc and Pepcid having something in it that causes cancer. Very interesting timing.

Excellent MedCram lecture today on the thrombotic side of COVID-19 infection. Many people were found dead of stroke (past two months) at home in NYC and this may explain the connections to the viral infections. First responders should take full PPE precautions when responding to stroke calls.

Coronavirus Pandemic Update 61: Blood Clots & Strokes in COVID-19; ACE-2 Receptor; Oxidative Stress

Just a reminder to those who brush off the fatalities, risk and impairment as only those of the aged. Consider numerous young have survived the virus while at the same time suffering lifelong debilitating and permanent neurologic disabilities.

I’m 100% with you on that. I also want to know why we hear so little about recoveries. There just seem to be waaaay to many people in limbo. Not dead, not recovered.
