Coronavirus

[DoggyDaddy]

China in particular also suffers from the idiocy of" old wive's cures" for lack of a better term, some of which involve eating animals that really ought not to be eaten, including pests like bats and carnivores like civets (basically a cat). This particular virus stems from a massive exotic wildlife market.

Protip: if it eats dead things don't eat it. If it eats even relatively fresh meat don't eat it. If it does both things DO NOT EVER CONTEMPLATE EATING IT.

WTHR just had a piece on that said it's believed this originated with snakes in China. And they seemed to be downplaying the risk of people getting it here, although obviously some have.

Cracked me up using logic and math!

This virus seems to be stronger than SARS and has a 7 day incubation period. Interesting fun fact, the patient in Washington state didn't think he had been around any sick people. He was back in the states for almost a week before going to his primary care doc. One of the news agencies reported at many as 14 medical staff were sickened from exposure to just one patient afflicted with this virus...

Yes this guys footprint has probably spread this virus more than their saying.

This must be part of that China trade deal I keep hearing about.



THANKS TRUMP!!!

A-a-a-a-and there it is. I am impressed it took 20 posts though.

So it's true: a Wuhan woman with mild fever symptoms took meds to bring her temp down, passed screening at customs, flew to France, ate at a Michelin-starred restaurant -- and bragged about it all on WeChat. She was shamed on social media & the Chinese Embassy tracked her down.

Chinese scientists have blamed the coronavirus on bats and pictures have emerged of Wuhan residents eating soup made from bats. Experts suggested bats could "host" the virus & admitted the pneumonia-like virus was "underestimated" by the research community

From the article: "It is not yet clear how the virus has spread between humans and bats but scientists believe “there may be an unknown intermediate”.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the "unknown intermediate" is SOUP!

I ordered some of them there fancy 3M face masks.

Doesn’t that rule out bear meat and BACON?

Bear meat has a high risk of trichinella if not cooked right.

I've been known to eat a lot of weird stuff, but bats have never even come up on my radar - too scrawny.

Stupidity know no borders.

WHO does not declare a health emergency. China was not present to answer questions.

There was a patent request in 2015 that was issued in 2018 for the coronavirus in the UK backed by Bill Gates money. Could this be part of their agenda 21 plan.

Published death toll at 17 with over 600 infected, per Daily Wire. From everything I'm reading they still aren't sure how it is transmitted. Newer articles are quoting a 14 day watch for symptoms to appear.

This one is something we need to pay attention to.

We as as humans have been ripe for another epidemic for about 50 years.
Will this be the next "Spainish Flu"?

The same was true with regards to pork. But now that it is illegal to feed pigs dead animals, you can safely eat undercooked pork (IF it was farm raised and inspected in the US)

They're spraying disinfectant by airplane.

Years ago at the height of the SARS virus in China I talked to one of our company people over there who was desperately trying to get out of the country. I think at that point the Chinese government had said that several hundred people had died and I asked him about that. He told me don't believe it, if several hundred are all that had died that many had died within a mile of where he was in Guangdong.

The Chinese cold is the worst kind of cold.

First, people whom from southern China always like to try to eat some weird *****, bats, rats, snakes, armadillos, whatever.

Remember SARS? It was traced to Prairie Dogs. NO, Prairie Dogs are rodens, NOT DOGS.

And, the communist party leaders in the local level has a long tradition of covering up disasters, accidents and disease outbreaks.

What you know now, is just a tip of the iceberg.

But, one thing they can do better than every other country, is to shut down a whole city of 11 million in a blink.
