    And, as per usual, drumpf did a piss poor job on both fronts. His ban was not inclusive enough and full of holes (plus drumpf flying in infected Americans on commercial airlines) and pushing a drug that needs months of clinical tests and pushing these drugs so people rushed out to buy up the supplies needed for testing.

  20. By the time trump instituted his travel ban mt airline and others had already stopped flying to Wuhan. Also had he kept the infectious disease team in place this very problem could have been nipped in the bud. Also even if he did ONE correct response he made 10 incorrect. "It's 15 now it'll be five then zero". Yeah, great leadership. Economy ruined, entire industries destroyed and the entire country stuck in the house with people they don't like, I guess he made America great again huh?

    Because that's not a case of killing West Nile but instead killing the mosquitoes that carry it.

    Most of the COVID-19 virus isn't in the air. It's in people. It only enters the air when people sneeze or cough. There would have to be a device that could instantly spray some kind of super-powerful (yet safe for humans) chemical into the air at the exact moment you sneeze, thereby neutralizing the virus before it could infect anyone. That technology doesn't exist.

    Here's Proof That Aerosol Transmission aka Transmission By Air...Also Includes "TALKING" AND EXHALING THROUGH THE NOSE AND MOUTH SPREADS THE CORONA VIRUS.

    AFTER LISTENING TO THE INFECTIOUS DISEASE DOCTOR ON A NATIONAL NEWS NETWORK WHO STATED THAT THE CORONA VIRUS IS SPREAD VIA "AEROSOL" TRANSMISSION WHICH MEANS BY:
    COUGHING, SNEEZING, AS WELL AS "TALKING" AND EXHALING THROUGH THE NOSE AND MOUTH

    IT IS VERY WELL DOCUMENTED AS NOTED IN "ANNEX C" BELOW (WHICH IS EXCERPTED FROM THE ABOVE MENTIONED ARTICLE



    There have been several studies on the number and size of droplets of saliva and other secretions from respiratory activities (Jennison, 1942; Duguid, 1945; Hamburger & Roberston, 1946; Loudon & Roberts, 1967; Papineni & Rosenthal, 1997; Fennelly et al., 2004) and excellent reviews have been written (Nicas, Nazaroff & Hubbard, 2005; Morawska, 2006). These studies and reviews note that the size of droplet nuclei due to sneezing, coughing and talking is likely to be a function of the generation process and the environmental conditions. The actual size distribution of droplets also depends on parameters, such as the exhaled air velocity, the viscosity of the fluid and the flow path (i.e. through the nose, the mouth or both) (Barker, Stevens & Bloomfield, 2001). There is also a great individual variability (Papineni & Rosenthal, 1997; Fennelly et al., 2004).

    Humans can produce respiratory aerosols (droplets) by several means, including breathing, talking, coughing (Figure C.1, A), sneezing (Figure C.1, B) and even singing (Wong, 2003; Toth et al., 2004).

    ALTHOUGH THE VIRUS IS MOST DEFINATELY SPREAD THROUGH SNEEZING AND COUGHING....MOST PEOPLE AREN'T GOING AROUND SNEEZING OR COUGHING ALL DAY.

    HOWEVER, WHAT EVERYONE IS DOING IS BREATHING (EXHALING) THROUGH THE MOUTH AND NOSE EVERY SECOND AS WELL AS TALKING. SINCE EVERYONE TALKS AND BREATHES EVERY FEW SECONDS...FACT STANDS TO REASON THAT THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST INTENSE AND QUICKEST MODE OF TRANSMISSION (ESPECIALLY DUE THE MASSIVE NUMBER AND THE RAPIDNESS OF THE SPREAD).

    THINK: ON A COLD WINTER DAY..WHEN YOU EXHALE OR BLOW INTO THE AIR CAN'T YOU SEE THE CONDENSATION COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND GOING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE?

    WE COME INTO CLOSE CONTACT WITH PEOPLE BREATHING THROUGHOUT THE DAY IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR DAILY LIVES: AIRPLANES, AIRPORTS, BUSSES, SUBWAYS, STANDING ON LINE AT THE COSTCO, WALMART, SUPERMARKET, CLASSROOMS, AND THE LIST GOES ON.

    Great. Even if true, which is highly debatable despite this study, this changes nothing. There is no technology that could respond to people exhaling and neutralize a virus as it is expelled into the air. We don't have any such disinfectant or a machine that could deploy it with perfect timing.

    This is not like fogging an area with pesticide to kill disease-bearing mosquitoes, which you only have to do once every several hours. And even that only puts a small dent in mosquito-borne illnesses. Otherwise, malaria wouldn't kill huge numbers every year in Africa.

    WHEN YOU EXHALE THE CONDESATION COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND NOSE AS YOU CAN SEE IF YOU BREATHE OUT OR TALK AND YOU CAN SEE ACTUAL PROOF WHEN YOU EXHALE THROUGH YOUR MOUTH OR NOSE ON A COLD WINTER DAY YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE CONDENSATION....

    SO IT IS EASY TO SEE HOW THE AEROSOL SPREAD OF CORONA INCLUDES TALKING AND EXHALING THROUGH MOUTH AND NOSE.

  45. So now it's coming clear what the stakes are: millions infected, hundreds of thousands dead, just like the scientists said.
    Or worse.
    Decades from now, when the history of the event is written up, the withholding of relief supplies to hospitals in states who Fergus felt were insufficiently sycophantic to him will be noted as the monstrosity that it is.
    And hopefully there will be a note about those who supported him throughout the demolition of the country he presided over.
    And let history also show that we tried to warn you.

    Anthony Fauci estimated the death toll of the outbreak at ~100,000.

    That’s probably not an unrealistic estimate. We’re at 139,000 known cases now. If the number of infections were to grow at an average of 20% a day until peaking two weeks from now, the number of infections at the peak of growth would be about 1.8 million. Then you have to double that, because there will be roughly as many who become infected after the peak as before it, so a grand total of 3.6 million get infected.

    If we assume a worst-case death rate of 3%, because hospitals get overwhelmed, that works out to 100,000 dead Americans.

    We have to hope it isn’t even worse.

However, (H1N1)pdm09 virus continues to circulate as a seasonal flu virus, and cause illness, hospitalization, and deaths worldwide every year.

    Here's the corona virus "SMOKING GUN" ...GERM WARFARE but nobody wants to talk about it:
    Except the New York Post as indicated in the following article: Written By Steven Mother

    https://nypost.com/2020/02/22/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/

    At an emergency meeting in Beijing held last Friday, Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke about the need to contain the coronavirus and set up a system to prevent similar epidemics in the future.

    A national system to control biosecurity risks must be put in place “to protect the people’s health,” Xi said, because lab safety is a “national security” issue.

    Xi didn’t actually admit that the coronavirus now devastating large swaths of China had escaped from one of the country’s bioresearch labs. But the very next day, evidence emerged suggesting that this is exactly what happened, as the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive titled: “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”

    Read that again. It sure sounds like China has a problem keeping dangerous pathogens in test tubes where they belong, doesn’t it? And just how many “microbiology labs” are there in China that handle “advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus”?

    It turns out that in all of China, there is only one. And this one is located in the Chinese city of Wuhan that just happens to be … the epicenter of the epidemic.

    That’s right. China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

    What’s more, the People’s Liberation Army’s top expert in biological warfare, a Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, was dispatched to Wuhan at the end of January to help with the effort to contain the outbreak.

    According to the PLA Daily, Chen has been researching coronaviruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax. This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either, since it is one of only two bioweapons research labs in all of China.

    Does that suggest to you that the novel coronavirus, now known as SARS-CoV-2, may have escaped from that very lab, and that Chen’s job is to try to put the genie back in the bottle, as it were? It does to me.

    They first blamed a seafood market not far from the Institute of Virology, even though the first documented cases of Covid-19 (the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2) involved people who had never set foot there. Then they pointed to snakes, bats and even a cute little scaly anteater called a pangolin as the source of the virus.

    I don’t buy any of this. It turns out that snakes don’t carry coronaviruses and that bats aren’t sold at a seafood market. Neither, for that matter, are pangolins, an endangered species valued for their scales as much as for their meat.

    The evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 research being carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The virus may have been carried out of the lab by an infected worker or crossed over into humans when they unknowingly dined on a lab animal. Whatever the vector, Beijing authorities are now clearly scrambling to correct the serious problems with the way their labs handle deadly pathogens.

    China has unleashed a plague on its own people. It’s too early to say how many in China and other countries will ultimately die for the failures of their country’s state-run microbiology labs, but the human cost will be high.

    But not to worry. Xi has assured us that he is controlling biosecurity risks “to protect the people’s health.” PLA bioweapons experts are in charge.

    I doubt the Chinese people will find that very reassuring. Neither should we.

    UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ENGINEERS RECENTLY DEVELOPED THE
    "NON THERMAL PLASMA DEVICE" THAT REMOVES 99.9% OF AIRBORNE VIRUSES AND BACTERIA.

    IT IS CURRENTLY BEING USED IN PIG BARNS TO KILL AIRBORNE VIRUSES THAT PIGS GET.
    THE ENGINEERS FEEL THAT THIS PROTOTYPE MAY ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR FACE MASKS IN THE FUTURE BUT RIGHT NOW IT IS VERY EFFECTIVE IN BARNS BECAUSE IT KILLS 99.9% OF THE AEROSOL VIRUSES IN THE BARN. HERE IS THE WEBSITE. (THE VIDEO OF THE PROTOTYPE IS ON THE WEBISTE)

    THIS COULD BE THE ANSWER TO WHAT THE DOCTORS AND NURSES MAY NEED IN THE HOSPITAL ROOMS WHILE TAKING CARE OF PATIENTS..

  72. Now the damn fool is accusing hospitals that don't have enough protective gear for the people who are working there to try and save people's lives of selling it on the black market.

  74. It's pretty obvious that it's a man engineered virus, but that doesn't affect me as far as my feelings for the people of China, who are a good, honest hardworking people as the next. All governments in their quest for power as well as defense against attack have developed these weapons, it has nothing to do with the people of the country.

    I myself have been ordering from the Chinese companies Wish like crazy, (as much as I can anyway $, as a way of keeping me sane and entertained, and that will continue, they're holding all packages until June anyway so I'm not concerned about it, I leave them in the heat on the porch anyway for 72 hours then I spray them with Lysol and leave them some more :D

    Options for the origins of coronavirus are:

    1. Accidental release of a virus from a laboratory.
    2. Transmission from an animal virus, possibly from a Chinese "wet market".

    Since China has made no moves to curtail wet markets (which apparently are back in business), it would seem they do not think this was the origin of the coronavirus.
