CORONAVIRUS REALITIES, SAFEGUARDS & PROJECTIONS

Back in January, I reported extensively on the Coronavirus cover-up in China and how it would impact the spread of the disease. Of course media outlets in America ignored it until the Democrats thought to weaponize it against President Trump. It’s as if they want people to die so that they can blame the President. The left is evil, as I have so often said.

The sky is not falling but there is a danger. And so we must act accordingly. Here is advice from a doctor who was a professor of pathology at UC San Diego –is a molecular virologist and one of the first to work on the coronaviruses in 1970. He sent this to his medical colleagues.

From the eminent pathologist Dr James Robb:

Date: February 26, 2020

Subject: What I am doing for the upcoming COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Dear Colleagues, as some of you may recall, when I was a professor of pathology at the University of California San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (the 1970s). I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained. Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources.

The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data, but it is most likely to be widespread in the US by mid to late March and April.
Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take. These are the same precautions I currently use during our influenza seasons, except for the mask and gloves.:

1) NO HANDSHAKING! Use a fist bump, slight bow, elbow bump, etc.
2) Use ONLY your knuckle to touch light switches. elevator buttons, etc.. Lift the gasoline dispenser with a paper towel or use a disposable glove.
3) Open doors with your closed fist or hip – do not grasp the handle with your hand, unless there is no other way to open the door. Especially important on bathroom and post office/commercial doors.
4) Use disinfectant wipes at the stores when they are available, including wiping the handle and child seat in grocery carts.
5) Wash your hands with soap for 10-20 seconds and/or use a greater than 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer whenever you return home from ANY activity that involves locations where other people have been.
6) Keep a bottle of sanitizer available at each of your home’s entrances. AND in your car for use after getting gas or touching other contaminated objects when you can’t immediately wash your hands.
7) If possible, cough or sneeze into a disposable tissue and discard. Use your elbow only if you have to. The clothing on your elbow will contain infectious virus that can be passed on for up to a week or more!
What I have stocked in preparation for the pandemic spread to the US:
1) Latex or nitrile latex disposable gloves for use when going shopping, using the gasoline pump, and all other outside activity when you come in contact with contaminated areas.

Note: This virus is spread in large droplets by coughing and sneezing. This means that the air will not infect you! BUT all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious for about a week on average – everything that is associated with infected people will be contaminated and potentially infectious. The virus is on surfaces and you will not be infected unless your unprotected face is directly coughed or sneezed upon. This virus only has cell receptors for lung cells (it only infects your lungs) The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth.

2) Stock up now with disposable surgical masks and use them to prevent you from touching your nose and/or mouth (We touch our nose/mouth 90X/day without knowing it!). This is the only way this virus can infect you – it is lung-specific. The mask will not prevent the virus in a direct sneeze from getting into your nose or mouth – it is only to keep you from touching your nose or mouth.

3) Stock up now with hand sanitizers and latex/nitrile gloves (get the appropriate sizes for your family). The hand sanitizers must be alcohol-based and greater than 60% alcohol to be effective.

4) Stock up now with zinc lozenges. These lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus (and most other viruses) from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel ANY “cold-like” symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx. Cold-Eeze lozenges is one brand available, but there are other brands available.

I, as many others do, hope that this pandemic will be reasonably contained, BUT I personally do not think it will be. Humans have never seen this snake-associated virus before and have no internal defense against it. Tremendous worldwide efforts are being made to understand the molecular and clinical virology of this virus. Unbelievable molecular knowledge about the genomics, structure, and virulence of this virus has already been achieved. BUT, there will be NO drugs or vaccines available this year to protect us or limit the infection within us. Only symptomatic support is available.

I hope these personal thoughts will be helpful during this potentially catastrophic pandemic. You are welcome to share this email. Good luck to all of us! Jim

Thanks, Pamela for much-needed sanity!

Key points:
– Don’t get anything else. This is already flu season, and having a flu/cold plus Covid-19 would be bad news. Keep infection risks to a minimum by avoiding coughing people, cleaning hands frequently with alcohol gel, washing hands frequently, and not touching your mouth or nose unless you just cleaned your hands.

– CDC says face masks are unnecessary. In a country of 327 million, 98 are infected, and most of those are in quarantine.

– Children are at lower risk, and older people or those with existing health problems are more at risk of Covid-19-linked pneumonia, and here’s why: “Death from coronavirus in patients with pneumonia is thought to be a combination of direct damage of the viral infection to the airways (bronchiolitis and/or pneumonia), an abnormal immune response (“cytokine storm”), and secondary bacterial infections. This is similar to the way people die from flu.” – Dr. Charles Chiu, prof., lab medicine and infectious diseases at UC San Francisco.

– “Cytokine storm”refers to serious inflammation that can take off in the lungs, filling them with fluid, wrecking breathing, and spilling the infection over into the rest of the body. That’s the biggest risk with pneumonia.

– The numbers won’t keep shooting up, they never do. Virus genes aren’t stupid, and if every patient died, the virus would die out too. The virus has to have a place to live. So the most lethal strains tend to disappear, while the milder ones prevail, and then we have lower case mortality rates.

– Also, Dr. Lee Riley, a UC Berkeley prof., and chair of the Division of Infectious Disease and Vaccinology, adds that mortality rate is frequently higher at the beginning of epidemics because “we don’t know how to deal with them.” So the case mortality rates will probably decline over time.

– Trump and his helpers are right, avoiding the epidemic for as long as possible can save a lot of lives, because it buys time to find out how to fight it. SARS caused zero deaths in the USA.

I’m glad to see the Islamic Repugnant of Iran is having problems w/it — I hope that have many more!

Didn’t you see the tweet from the Iranian Imam, violet leaf oil rubbed on the anus is the cure.

Rubbed on the anus by a willing and able bacha bazi boy I bet.

My guess is BLUE states and large BLUE sanctuary cities will have the most problems. The problem is they can easily travel to RED states.

Let’s see, there are only six coronavirus deaths in the United States and five individuals vying for the Democrat presidential nomination, Biden, Bloomberg, Bernie,Warren,and Gabbard.

Now how to sneak some folks out of quarantine to circulate among those candidates?

As is always the case with these things, the panic will do more damage than the virus itself. This one will be amplified by the fact that the demokrats WANT a mass casualty event that they can blame on President Trump.

Fist bumping?; why not just avoid physical contact with others. One thing I hope for is that this virus may put an end to the current vogue for hugging and kissing everybody one meets. This never (or hardly ever) used to happen in the 20th century except among family

This is a far cry from the fear-mongering that you hear on a daily basis.
