Marco Tosatti: Coronavirus is Spreading Behind Vatican Walls
Church Militant ^ | 3/25/20 | Marco Tosatti

Multiple cases suspected inside Casa Santa Marta

Dear readers of Stilum Curiae, the coronavirus has reached the highest levels of the Vatican. The head of the Italian section of the Secretariat of State, Msgr. Gianluca Pezzoli, is hospitalized in intensive care with COVID-19.

Monsignor Pezzoli is quite young; he was born in Mantua in 1962 and is only 58. He is described by those who know him as a great worker, a man who is reserved and sober. He is certainly not a worldly monsignor. He lives at Santa Marta. Thus it is very probable that he was infected inside the Vatican Walls. His role as head of the Italian section, which is definitely the biggest section of the Secretariat of State, makes it quite probable that before he had symptoms he must have had personal contact with many people, and thus they would have been exposed to the virus.

The fact that Msgr. Pezzoli lives permanently at Santa Marta naturally increases the concern. In addition to the pontiff, dozens of prelates live at Santa Marta, either permanently or temporarily.

But very reliable sources tell me that there are actually only five people currently living at Santa Marta, and all of them are in isolation because they suspect they have contracted the coronavirus. The pope has stopped taking his meals in the common dining room. He spends the majority of his time in his apartment on the top floor. His personal secretary brings him lunch and dinner.

We need to remember that when he was young, Jorge Mario Bergoglio underwent a major surgical operation, in which doctors removed a large part of his lung. This explains the breathing difficulties and shortness of breath that sometimes afflict him. Naturally, a person who has this sort of handicap would have a particular fear.....

A lot of folks are asking, “Why aren’t they shutting the Vatican down?” or “Why is Pope Francis still meeting visitors?!” or “Why hasn’t Pope Francis retreated to isolation at Castel Gandolfo?” etc.

Conspiracy theory... What if Pope Francis *already had* a mild bout of coronavirus and recovered, so there’s no worry about him getting it? Remember 3-4 weeks ago when he was sidelined with a “cold”? One or another Vatican mouthpiece assured everyone that it wasn’t coronavirus. But what if that was their usual lying?

This is just a wild theory... but who knows? Not everyone ends up in the hospital with this thing. Even the elderly.

So, like the Angel of Death, Francis' Pachamama has passed over him for a job well done?

The fact that the pope has decided to eat alone, in his own room, indicates that he is very worried.

Some shepherd he is! Sniveling coward.

Let's forget about all that stuff I said about "field hospital" and "smelling like the sheep". It's every man for his own now.

There are two principal things that are suspected as being the source of the contagion.

The first is the Vatican Museums, where up until the moment they were closed the employees asked in vain for masks and gowns to defend themselves from the risk represented in the crowd of tourists entering the museums each day.

There were no masks left to give them; Bergoglio had already sent all 700,000 masks of his to his communist pals in Red China.

Successful therapy against Covid-19 virus from New York State:

Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko

Board Certified Family Practitioner

501 Rt 208, Monroe, NY 10950

845-238-0000

March 23, 2020

To all medical professionals around the world:

My name is Dr. Zev Zelenko and I practice medicine in Monroe, NY. For the last 16 years, I have cared for approximately 75% of the adult population of Kiryas Joel, which is a very close knit community of approximately 35,000 people in which the infection spread rapidly and unchecked prior to the imposition of social distancing.

As of today my team has tested approximately 200 people from this community for Covid-19, and 65% of the results have been positive. If extrapolated to the entire community, that means more than 20,000 people are infected at the present time. Of this group, I estimate that there are 1500 patients who are in the high-risk category (i.e. >60, immunocompromised, comorbidities, etc).

Given the urgency of the situation, I developed the following treatment protocol in the pre-hospital setting and have seen only positive results:

1. Any patient with shortness of breath regardless of age is treated.

2. Any patient in the high-risk category even with just mild symptoms is treated.

3. Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated (unless their circumstances change and they fall into category 1 or 2).

My out-patient treatment regimen is as follows:

1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days

2. Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days

3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days

The rationale for my treatment plan is as follows. I combined the data available from China and South Korea with the recent study published from France (sites available on request). We know that hydroxychloroquine helps Zinc enter the cell. We know that Zinc slows viral replication within the cell. Regarding the use of azithromycin, I postulate it prevents secondary bacterial infections. These three drugs are well known and usually well tolerated, hence the risk to the patient is low.

Since last Thursday, my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another 150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen.

Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.

In sum, my urgent recommendation is to initiate treatment in the outpatient setting as soon as possible in accordance with the above. Based on my direct experience, it prevents acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prevents the need for hospitalization and saves lives.

With much respect,

Dr. Zev Zelenko

The College of Cardinals needs a period of renewal before the next conclave. This may put the fear of God into those who survive.

In every one of these cartoons I see the little rubber duck somewhere in the background. Is there some significance there I’m missing?

Francis has stated he is insecure when he is alone. That was his reason for never moving in the Apostalic Palace where his predecessors had resided and worked.

The rubber duck is like his security “blanket”. He needs it now especially since he has barricaded himself on the top floor of Domus Sanctae Marthae, receiving his meals in private in his apartment.

He doesn’t want to “smell like the sheep” anymore.
