China Deploys Military to Fight Coronavirus as Confirmed Infections Approach 1,000

China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) will deploy to central Wuhan, the metropolis where a previously unidentified coronavirus that has killed at least 26 people originated, to help build medical facilities to fight the virus, the Communist Party confirmed on Friday.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed 902 cases of the Wuhan virus worldwide, the overwhelming majority of them in China. All 26 deaths also occurred in China. Health authorities have isolated confirmed cases of the virus throughout Asia – in Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau – as well as Italy and the United States. The international cases are all Wuhan residents abroad or locals who recently visited Wuhan.

The People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China, noted that the number of suspected cases surpassed 1,000 as of Friday.

Those numbers may be significantly deflated, however, as reports surface from Wuhan and elsewhere in China of doctors refusing to test individuals suffering from and dying of pneumonia, which the virus is known to cause. Individuals who suspect they may be carrying the coronavirus have revealed anonymously that Wuhan hospitals have turned them away when requesting testing.

Coronavirus is a family of viruses that includes the one responsible for the 2003 outbreak of Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which killed nearly 800 people. The Communist Party’s refusal to act to publicly contain the virus and repeated denials of the scale of the contagion contributed significantly to the high death toll.

For this outbreak, the Communist Party has insisted that it has been diligent and transparent in combatting the public health threat since identifying the virus and sharing the genome sequence with global scientists on Monday.

Doesn’t matter if it were free. You can’t get the silver particles to where they’re needed (virons floating through the air or on random surfaces). Ingesting CS gives no benefit. Silver preparations do work to prevent or treat topical infections, but useless for internal infections including in the lungs.

“How does the Military fight the virus?”

Presumably, you’ve seen a zombie movie or two.

“Would they have quarantined a major transportation hub of 11M people over 1000 cases of the flu?”

Try 18 million.

And Disney Land.

This is Captain Trips.

The military is going to find it? Are they going to shrink themselves down with Raquel Welch to fight it?

Colloidal silver kills all viruses

I've been using it since 1995 and it works every time. I almost look forward to getting this particular flu that China has so I can knock it out. One nice swig will usually knock it down in about an hour @ 100ppm.
