CDC Warns Of Coronavirus Spread In USA: ‘Disruption To Everyday Life Might Be Severe’
Breitbart ^ | 2-25-2010 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 02/25/2020 2:57:35 PM PST by blam

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.

Trump needs to say we must seal the border immediately to help stop any infected person crossing into our country. Also all passports need to be inspected and anyone coming from an infected country needs to be quarantined.

Now wouldn’t that be nice of the crapholes south of the border enforced according to the same concern?

I thought you NAC promoters were just selling quackery, so I just Googled "NAC antiviral" and the first hit after the ads was this:

N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) inhibits virus replication and expression of pro-inflammatory molecules in A549 cells infected with highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza A virus.

All but one of the authors is with the Institute of Medical Virology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Abstract
The antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) had been shown to inhibit replication of seasonal human influenza A viruses. Here, the effects of NAC on virus replication, virus-induced pro-inflammatory responses and virus-induced apoptosis were investigated in H5N1-infected lung epithelial (A549) cells. NAC at concentrations ranging from 5 to 15 mM reduced H5N1-induced cytopathogenic effects (CPEs), virus-induced apoptosis and infectious viral yields 24 h post-infection. NAC also decreased the production of pro-inflammatory molecules (CXCL8, CXCL10, CCL5 and interleukin-6 (IL-6)) in H5N1-infected A549 cells and reduced monocyte migration towards supernatants of H5N1-infected A549 cells. The antiviral and anti-inflammatory mechanisms of NAC included inhibition of activation of oxidant sensitive pathways including transcription factor NF-κB and mitogen activated protein kinase p38. Pharmacological inhibitors of NF-κB (BAY 11-7085) or p38 (SB203580) exerted similar effects like those determined for NAC in H5N1-infected cells. The combination of BAY 11-7085 and SB203580 resulted in increased inhibitory effects on virus replication and production of pro-inflammatory molecules relative to either single treatment. NAC inhibits H5N1 replication and H5N1-induced production of pro-inflammatory molecules. Therefore, antioxidants like NAC represent a potential additional treatment option that could be considered in the case of an influenza A virus pandemic.

NOW you have my attention!

What do the microbiologists, virologists, doctors and scientists on FR say?

It seems you have a high infestation of Frolls

Free Republic has become a magnet for them, agents of despair and divisiveness trying to shake things up

In my experience and research the CDC is as about as reliable as the DNC which I consider to be a sister organization

And so the fearmongers here are to be ignored, they are hoping to stir a panic

How typical of Frolls, trying to make Freepers look like sheep

Run along little DU rejects

Viruses are unlikely to spread easily past April


True most flues are killed by heat and humidity, but then someone needs to hop over to southern China, Vietnam and Singapore and let the virus know that it isn’t supposed to be there

Dr. Andrew Saul has been a consulting specialist in natural healing for over 30 years. He has a Ph.D. in Human Ethology.

Color me skeptical about people like that.

any vaccine is 1-1.5 years out so no help there - the one that was used to cure AIDS proved ineffective.

We're going to miraculously come up with a shot that won't guarantee you won't get it but might help you not get it.

Line up....the government will pay for it.

Honestly this only kills the very young, very old and the weak.


other than the children, teens, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 year olds in otherwise good health with a kill rate of 20% in the second week a lot will die and a near certainty if reinfected ... be happy don’t worry

“according to some this is just some sort of trick and there is nothing to worry about cause its really just the flu”

Right...China’s destroying their economy, and other countries around the world are closing their borders and quarantining people as part of a trick they cooked up with Rosenstein’s sister...in order to get Trump, or to make money shorting stocks, or something. Diabolically clever!

Shoulda been the other way around:

80,000 people globally / 6,500,000,000

Duhhh (see, told ya ;-)
