Re: Corona Virus
That's subjective.
ANYWAY, just pointing out that it's never been done before so it's unlikely to be done now. I certainly wouldn't be one of the trial volunteers, even if I were infected. |

To me the likely explanation is that China was trying to develop a SARS vaccine (china tells us this is what the Wuhan biolab was doing), something went wrong, and covid was released to the wild. There was no stopping it at that point. I don't go into any details past that theory.. because things start becoming farfetched past that point. I don't deny that other groups/parties may have been involved though. |

Hey, as I always say, if it happens it's natural ... because it's 'happened'. Regardless of how, why or when until we can go back in time any event is part of mankinds journey.

Re: Corona Virus
the "tampon" is the test that do the doctor to the patient if they are positive or not to the coronavirus
translated in English can be "swab test"?!.. |

| I wasn't meaning to be rude. In English, "tampon" usually refers to a feminine hygiene product used during menstruation. There was definitely a translation error.
Test kit is what most are calling it. Swab test works too, if that's how they're testing. |

Re: Corona Virus
Not just a hoax but more of a distraction. Focus on the important stuff. Notice the big changes that’s going on around us. |

The virus will taper off entering the summer, but will pick up quickly as winter comes back. In other words, we are in for a long journey that will probably last for 1-2 years until the miraculous vaccine pops up.
| I think this is true. SARS lasted a year, and COVID19 has spread much more rapidly, so higher chances of more catching it. I think it will last longer than SARS. Initial lack of medical supplies too, but maybe that's a theme.
WHO says MERS is still on-going in Saudi Arabia. 3000 cases, compared to 8000 for SARS, COVID19 numbers have blown past both, and no vaccine for either I'm reading. Since they're all coronaviruses though the R&D done so far is a backbone for COVID19. It may lead to a breakthrough. All three are related, same origin, first in 2002.
Some local news, recently returned US patient, back from IT all safe https://i.insider.com/55cfbc04dd0895...00&format=jpeg |

if weather is a factor,how do y ou explain Italy?
| My working theory is weather/season is an attributing factor, but not a direct cause. Cold air makes your mucous membranes contract/close inhibiting your defenses, so naturally influenza must be around all the time, but during winter months we're more susceptible.
When a new variation/hybrid occurs it's like falling cards when it comes to how it spreads per country. Given way to control it is terminating inbound/outbound flights if it is host dependent, trade if it is not, but beyond that NO WAY to know how it will spread to each continent once out, and how much. Population density, lack of awareness, level of hygiene, government response time, availability of supplies, all factors I think. From there it is how well it can be controlled.
SARS peaked during March, April and May, the months after cold season. It dropped significantly after that and dissipated.
MERS continues to have outbreaks, relatively same number of instances each time. Interestingly enough the outbreaks all occur during winter time. |

Re: Corona Virus
Camels carry MERS, what the hell they do with em I got no idea. Go cruising through the desert I guess :)
A friend of mine I'm unfortunately no longer in contact with was from Jordan which borders Saudi Arabia. Told me about the food and showed me images. It didn't look like health inspectors were a common practice there.
As for India, at least the street food is not hygienic, like, at all. This other friend said new diseases were born there regularly and you have to be careful. But he ate it anyway because it was good. Hah. |

Re: Trump shook Rep. Doug Collins' hand before congressman self-quarantined
They pulled the number on Trump already, the man's immune system is fighting COVID-19 right now, I don't know if he is going to survive this or not and only time will tell.
I truly feel sorry for him though, I know and understand that he is a bankrupt businessman that was caught in a web of venomous spiders. |

Re: Tom Hanks and Wife have virus
When Politicians and actors start getting infected, thats when I start to get worried. Is it possible that over time most people will get infected? |

Re: Tom Hanks and Wife have virus
The NBA just suspended the season until further notice after a Utah Jazz player has tested positive for COVID-19.
Theres no escaping it. This thing is going to change the world as we know it for at least the next couple of years. |

Wrestlemania 36 is next on the chopping block. I don't see how that event will be allowed to take place 3 weeks from now. Who knows what the world will look like by then... |
