Unfortunately for the Chinese, their totalitarian government with its speech limitations, worked too well. The initial doctor who tried to sound the alarm, was silenced by the Chicoms. And he has now contracted the illness. Why was he silenced ?

“The other big development is that Thai doctors claim to have found a cure. “

Yeah, sure they can kill a virus? With what, those horrid Thai springrolls that look like alien life encased in a green thin membranous tissue like substance?

I’m not a ‘prepper’ proper and likely will never be. But seems like a good time the have as month or two of supplies if it hits the fan in the States. If nothing happen here then good... we don’t want to have to use the money we pay for insurance either.

A mix of anti-flu and anti-HIV anti-retroviral drugs.

The news stories named the drugs; from that I found one trade name for the combination and its manufacturer.

The manufacturer's home page explain that these drugs inhibit viral replication by interfering with binding to the host cells.

If I virus can't get into a cell, it can't replicate.

The doctor was silenced because acknowledging a viral plague would cause the chicom scumbaggers to “lose face”. They would rather wipe out half their population than appear weak or incompetent as they truly are. We are watching it happen.

The chicom government does not deserve to survive this. I hope the chinese people slaughter them.

There were some back and forths in the news flows about how one researcher claimed that the corona virus had hiv binding type sites on it but other sources denied it. If Hiv anti-virals do work against the virus the perhaps the aforementioned researcher was right. If there has been a a bioweapon mae with hiv qualities we are in big trouble becaude the HIV virus goes right for the T cells. Knock out the t cells, immune response vanishes, and the bacteria and fungi follow right on in on top of a seemingly benign “cold” onset and one dies o pneumonia and full on sepsis within hours.

Coronavirus: Japan quarantines cruise ship after passenger tests positive
Share

Follow the latest updates of the outbreak on our timeline.

Japanese health authorities have quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship after a passenger tested positive for the coronavirus in Hong Kong, China.

The epidemic has begun in the central Chinese city of Wuhan has so far killed 427 and infected 20,623 people.

The passenger started his journey from Yokahoma, Japan, on 20 January and left the ship in Hong Kong on 25 January.

The passenger, an 80-year-old man, tested positive for the coronavirus in Hong Kong six days later.

Japanese health officials are conducting a full review of all the crew and guests. Princess Cruises said the delay might last up to 24 hours.

Operated by Carnival Japan, the ship is currently on a 14-day round trip journey. The Diamond Princess ship has 1,045 crew and 2,666 passengers on board.

In a statement, Princess Cruises said: “The safety, security and well-being of all guests and crew is our absolute priority.

“The review of the arriving guests and crew by Japanese health authorities is standard practice after a guest tested positive for coronavirus and we are working closely with the local authorities to provide detailed records to facilitate their review.”

Japan has announced 20 confirmed cases of the coronavirus with no deaths so far.

Yesterday, Saint Lucia and Dominica denied entry of the cruise ship AIDAperla into their shores as they were carrying a large number of sick passengers on board.

Last month, approximately 6,000 passengers onboard Carnival Corporation’s Costa Smeralda were allowed to leave the ship after a Chinese passenger tested negative for coronavirus.

The ship was initially quarantined at Italy’s Civitavecchia port.
