Coronavirus

Very amusing!! just for every ones info when it's stated that the virus attacks minorities on a higher percentage basis, it's not doing that as some intelligent entity.

of course - that would be anthropomorphic..........

My freelance consulting business has been slow for the past 4 months, so I took a part time job at a nice bagel / deli in Nassau county to make some extra money. A colleague from work just passed away this Saturday with complications from COVID-19. He was the grill guy in the kitchen and has been there there for ten years or so. 50 years old and in reasonably good health. He hasn't been in in three weeks. Came on quickly as far as I know. He leaves behind a wife and 3 kids. So sad. I enjoyed our talks in the little bit of Spanish I can speak. RIP Benjamin.

Sorry to hear that?

“Worldwide, humans are interacting with wildlife with increasing frequency, so the more we understand about these viruses in animals—what allows them to mutate and how they spread to other species––the better we can reduce their pandemic potential.”

Does interacting include eating?

SOMETHING IS FISHY!!*
Wuhan to Shanghai = 839km
Wuhan to Beijing = 1,152km
Wuhan to Milan = 15,000km
Wuhan to NY = 15,000km

The Coronavirus started in Wuhan yet there is no effect of Coronavirus in nearby Beijing or Shanghai but many deaths in Italy, Iran, European countries and USA.

All business areas of China are now safe.

*Something is fishy.*

America is not just blaming China without a reason.

Even today, India is locked down but all the cities of China are open. China has also announced the opening of Wuhan from April 08. Not a single leader in China has tested positive for the deadly Coronavirus.

*Something is fishy.*

The virus has ruined many economies around the world. Many have had to close their borders in an attempt to contain and control the spread of the Coronavirus. Thousands have lost their lives, millions have now got this disease, countless people have been locked in their homes and many countries have placed their citizens on lock down.

*Something is fishy.*

The Coronavirus orginated from the city of Wuhan in China and has now reached every corner of the world, but the virus did not reach China's capital Beijing and China's Economic Capital Shanghai, located in close proximity to Wuhan itself.

*Something is fishy*

Today Paris is closed, New York is closed, Berlin is closed, Delhi is closed, Mumbai is closed, Tokyo is closed, the world's major economic and political centers are closed, but Beijing and Shanghai are open. No Coronavirus effect is seen in either cities. There were only a few cases but the virus had no real effect on Beijing and Shanghai.

*Something is fishy.*

Beijing is the city where all the leaders of China live, including their military leaders. There is no lock down in Beijing.

*Something is fishy*

Shanghai is the city that runs China's economy. It is the economic capital of China, where all the rich people of China live and run major industries. There is no lock down here, there is no effect of the Coronavirus there.

*Something is fishy*

Beijing and Shanghai are the areas adjoining Wuhan. The virus from Wuhan reached every corner of the world, but the virus did not affect Beijing and Shanghai.

*Something is fishy*

Another big thing is, that the worldwide share market has fallen by almost half. In India also the Nifty has gone from 12 thousand to 7 thousand, but the share market of China was at 3000 and just merely dropped to 2700.

*Something is fishy*

This leaves one to speculate that the Coronavirus is a bio-chemical weapon of China, which China used to carry out destruction in the world in order to gain economic supremacy.

China has now put this virus under control, maybe they also have the antidote/ vaccine that they are not sharing with the world ever or will do when it is in their best interest to do so.

*Something is fishy*

Hollywood stars, Australia's Home Minister, Britain's Prime Minister and Health Minister, Spain's Prime Minister's wife, Canada's Prime Minister's wife, and Britain's Prince Charles, among others, have contracted the Coronavirus, but NOT A SINGLE POLITICAL LEADER IN CHINA, NOT A SINGLE MILITARY COMMANDER in China have tested positive for Coronavirus.

*SOMETHING IS FISHY!!!!*

Probably not unless the TP shortage has an impact.

OK, sarcasm over. So far, none of the corona viruses have been shown to be transmitted via food. There are many other viruses that are including Hepatitis A and E, but it's not the food, it's when food is contaminated by feces.

Here's a nice abstract regarding Virus Transmission Via Food (World Health Stat Q. 1997;50(1-2):90-101. This paper looks at human viruses, but I would THINK that animal fecal contamination should also be considered as possible.

Abstract
Viruses are transmitted to humans via foods as a result of direct or indirect contamination of the foods with human faeces. Viruses transmitted by a faecal-oral route are not strongly dependent on foods as vehicles of transmission, but viruses are important among agents of foodborne disease. Vehicles are most often molluscs from contaminated waters, but many other foods are contaminated directly by infected persons. The viruses most often foodborne are the hepatitis A virus and the Norwalk-like gastroenteritis viruses. Detection methods for these viruses in foods are very difficult and costly; the methods are not routine. Indicators that would rapidly and reliably suggest the presence of viral contamination of foods are still being sought. Contamination can be prevented by keeping faeces out of food or by treating vehicles such as water in order to inactivate virus that might be carried to food in this way. Virus cannot multiply in food, but can usually be inactivated by adequate heating. Other methods of inactivating viruses within a food are relatively unreliable, but viruses in water and on exposed surfaces can be inactivated with ultraviolet light or with strong oxidizing agents.

Anybody a Tom Clancy fan? Read "Executive Order". 25 years ago he wrote about a biological attack on the US. In a previous book a crazy Jap flew a 747 into the Capitol Building!!

You can always wrap a conspiracy around anything after the fact....things are usually just as simple as they look.

 

[pequa1]

Clancy ?
Have read everything he has ever written. "Rainbow 6" espoused John Clark as investigating poisoning incoming cocaine to eliminate users and thus demand. A new book, "Lethal Agent" by Kyle Mills who took over the Mitch Rapp franchise from the deceased Vince Flynn has the ragheads sneaking in a dangerous virus across the Mexican border.

and MTB, I still say, never trust a chicom. not now, not ever, never.

Yes and Rainbow Six was about Ebola; I did love the ending.

And Lyme was developed on Plum Island... Hey, wait! That guy in the Alps, Ötzi, who was frozen almost 5,000 years ago had Lyme spirochetes in him...

I believe you're getting your Clancys confused...

Rainbow 6 summary:

Clark and his colleagues become suspicious about the recent, sudden increase in terrorist attacks. Unbeknownst to them, the first two attacks are part of a master plan to wipe out the majority of the human race, called "the Project". Dr. John Brightling, a staunch environmentalist who heads a biotechnology firm called the Horizon Corporation, had orchestrated the attacks through ex-KGB officer Dimitri Popov in order to raise awareness of terrorism, which then helps former FBI agent and co-conspirator Bill Henriksen's security firm land a contract during the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. From within the Olympic security apparatus, Henriksen plans to launch a sophisticated bioweapon attack using nanocapsules containing the Shiva virus, a mutated form of the Ebola virus that had been previously used by Iran during its biological attack on the U.S. (depicted in Executive Orders). After the epidemic starts at the conclusion of the games, Brightling's company would then distribute a vaccine that actually contains the virus itself, effectively killing the rest of the world's population that are not infected with Shiva. The "chosen few", having been provided with the real vaccine, would then inherit the emptied world, convinced of their justification for mass murder as "saving the world" from the encroachment of destructive humanity.

Damn ! which Clancy novel had the poisoning of the coke in it ? Too many years since I read it. I enjoyed my visits to Plum Island, great but too brief ferry ride, lol.

 

[CELLFISH]

BS, Goldfinger was way ahead of him, recall the security force wit da Fort Knox Gold was almost wiped out from an ariel chemical spray... cellie...

Can't remember the name, but I THINK it was the first one centered around John Clark, WITHOUT REMORSE, when he faked his own death at the end.

 

[pequa1]

think you are correct sir as he was the main protagonist. Although we would lose most of Hollywood and half of Congress, poisoning incoming cocaine never seemed like such a bad idea to me...

Getting a little off topic, and I read those books 20 - 30 years ago, but I think in WITHOUT REMORSE (my favorite BTW) they were smuggling heroin inside the bodies of dead US soldiers killed in Vietnam. After John Kelly's wife dies in an accident, and his new girlfriend (ex prostitute) is killed by a drug gang, the ex Navy Seal kind of "snapped" and became "Mr. Clark". That is after settling the score with a few really bad people.

I am not a big conspiracy theory fan. But there is some strange poop going on with this virus.

 

[pequa1]

Never ever trust the chicoms. Whole different mindset. In 1973 I nearly died of lobar pneumonia. My regular doc was off on another visit helping the indigenous people of the south Pacific where he spent much of WW2 and we were assigned Dr Huang (sic) who advised my mother "no cause for increased hope" and several days later asked if she had "other male children?" Something you don't forget.

Popped up as lead story on Yahoo newsfeed, it's a NYT article though.

Yet they sent a planeload of PPE to JFK about two weeks ago ( ? )
