Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, warned that the spread of China’s deadly coronavirus in the United States is all but certain and said Americans’ everyday life could be dramatically affected.
“As more and more countries experience community spread, successful containment at our borders becomes harder and harder,” Messonnier told reporters on Tuesday afternoon.
“It’s not a question of if this will happen but when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illnesses,” the top public health official added. “Disruption to everyday life might be severe.”
Messonnier said the continued spread of the virus has led to a shift to a more dire tone.
“The data over the last week and spread in other countries has certainly raised our level of concern, and raised our level of expectation that we are going to have community spread here, so that has changed our tone,” she said.
The illness that originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan has now infected more than 80,000 people globally. 77,000 cases have been confirmed in China with others in parts of Europe and the Middle East.
To date, 57 cases have been confirmed in the U.S., including 40 cases of people who the government transported from the Diamond Princess cruise ship from Japan.
The virus’ spread caused the U.S. stock market to plunge.
An expected rebound after Monday’s 1,000-point nosedive on Wall Street had yet to materialize by midday Tuesday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down nearly 500 points by 1 p.m. EST. The S&P 500 was down about 50 points and the Nasdaq 122 points.
The 10-year Treasury yield hit a record low of 1.32 percent Tuesday while the 30-year bond also fell.

And Hong Kong, a month later has fewer than 100 cases. And students returned through the end of Jan to American colleges.
Same here with the D3. No colds this winter. And if I feel one coming on, I take zinc lozenges and that takes care of it too.

The Antibiotic Vitamin

Many thanks!!!
I’ve read reports like that. Some people like to say that If you have a good diet, you don’t need vitamins. Not so!
Yup. Currently I take 5,000IU twice a day and 100 mcg of K2.
It is always a pleasure to hear from someone who was diligent enough to do his research. I got onto it many years ago and have been taking it ever since amongst many other nutrients as well as vitamins, of which I buy most of them in bulk as it is more economical. Along here it may be worthwhile to mention not to forget vitamin C in its buffered form, such as calcium ascorbate and of course vitamin D as one Freeper suggested. We are all creatures of the sun, humans, animals as well as plants.
With sunshine (D) we flourish, without it we just exist. Many years ago I had a similar opinion like many MD’s have that in order to stay healthy and well all you have to do is to eat properly until about 40 years ago, give or take I was introduced to a very interesting book called LIFE EXTENTION by Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw which completely reformed my outlook on what medical doctors call supplementation with chemicals.
Just look at the chemical formula of an egg and if some one would ask you to eat this chemical, you probably throw up your arms and say “Heavens no” I am not sure if this book is still available or in print, but it certainly had contributed much to my overall health. Matter of fact as soon as I finish here I will check and see if it is still available on Amazon. In any case stay healthy and well..
I just posted another reply you might be interested in reading. Of course Vitamin D is one of the essential vitamins either by sunshine, or by any other available source. Stay healthy and well.
You’ve quoted this Dr (Saul) a few times. Do you have a link to his article/s?
well those are pretty much the only people who can be tested under the cdc protocol.

...
The CDC has tested 426 people in the US, which doesn’t include the repatriated cases. And as I said, the repatriated cases make up the majority.

There are an endless amount of articles about the viability of vitamin C not just by Dr. Saul. Below is an excerpt from one of many. Keep in mind vitamin C is relatively cheap and inexpensive. Pharmaceutical companies can’t make any money from it so it is rarely recommended.
Imagine that a deadly virus is sweeping the world, killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of children. Nothing seems able to stop it - until a doctor stands up at the American Medical Association and reports on 60 cases involving severely infected children, all of whom have been cured. Yet his work, subsequently reported in a peer-review journal, is ignored, leaving the virus to wreak havoc for decades.
This isn’t a docudrama about some futuristic plague - it’s a true story about what happened in June 1949 when polio was at its peak. Dr Frederick Klenner, a clinical researcher from Reidsville, North Carolina, reported that a massive intravenous dose of Vitamin C - up to 20,000mg daily for three days (today’s recommended daily allowance is 60mg) - had cured 60 of his patients. The findings were published in a medical journal, yet there was virtually no interest. Apart from a couple of minor trials, no attempt was made to find out if they had any scientific substance
They are ignoring the other countries that seemed to have stopped the spread.

We’ll see..
Seems to me there is a pattern...that all countries start with small number for a time and then there is an modest uptick...and then a parabolic rise...Or perhaps these countries are less politically correct and prohibit travel in from “hotspot countries”
But then from some of your posting history, you seem to be one who spends time discounting any concerns about this.
You are welcome to treat this casually. Eh it is merely a flu, right?
However, some have life situations that make for more concern/vulnerability to this illness thru location or health issues and would like to discuss and examine the issue in depth.

Emphasis on the “High” — orders of magnitude more than the therapeutic dose. The best colloidal silvers have tiny (nano tiny) particles and concentrations of only 10 to 20 PPM. That’s nowhere near enough to turn you blue.
a Vietnamese poster on fr said do not believe their government anymore than the CCP - going with that here
Can you ping me to it please.

Thank you. I’ve been taking NAC for years because of COPD. The benifits of it are well known I the COPD community. Could be why I seldom get a cold but if I do it only lasts a day, never more than 2 days.
I ordered more last night. I ordered several supplements. If there is no pandemic. They are all supplements that I use regularly.
If anyone has lots of pain I suggest they stock up on quality kratom if it is legal where they are.
