Apologies if this has already been mentioned.

Israel may be making progress with a vaccine.

Cheers

PerhapsBaylor and UTMB have a near viable vaccine.

From the article:

The Baylor-UTMB vaccine looks promising for COVID-19 because the virus so resembles SARS — Hotez calls it SARS-2 —

Also, and interesting...

COVID-19 shares 82 percent of its genes with SARS and infects people through the same cell receptor, one of the “spike-like” proteins that stud the surface of coronaviruses and gives the family their name. The viruses originally jump from animals to people.

Tb, missing part of a lung if he gets it at his age he is done.

I think that sounds like he doesn't want people to actually be prepared, like he wants this to work out in the worst possible way.

Or, he thinks that the smart people have already prepped, and he doesn't want to start a panic/stampede in the rest.

My kids are homeschooled, so if their school gets canceled, then I strongly advise all of you to start fasting and praying because the seals are being broken and the Revelations are coming to pass.

I would LOVE to talk about that! have a question...wondering if the seals begin even before the rapture? maybe pm me if you could.

Expecting the same from China at some point, actual figures of the real numbers if they even know them.

We have lift off in Mexico.

Mexico confirms first two cases of coronavirus

Hugo Lopez-Gatell said one of the patients is in Mexico City and the other in the northern state of Sinaloa. While a second test is still pending on that case, he said, "we are treating this as confirmed." Neither is seriously ill; one is in isolation at a hospital, the other is isolated at a hotel.

At least five family contacts of the first patient have been placed in isolation. He said the men had travelled to the northern Italian region where there has been an outbreak and had returned to Mexico between last Saturday and Sunday.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador appeared to downplay the seriousness of the Covid-19 virus, saying "it isn't even equivalent to flu."

Seasonal flu kills more people because it has infected far more people, but the new virus appears to have a far higher mortality rate.

In the central China city of Wuhan, where the new coronavirus first exploded, 2 percent to 4 percent of patients have died, according to the World Health Organization. But in the rest of China, the death rate has been 0.7 percent. On average, the death rate from seasonal flu is about 0.1 percent.

"I repeat, according to the available information, it is not something terrible, fatal,” López Obrador said. “There shouldn't be any yellow journalism, or exaggerations, to cause a mass psychosis of fear, of terror."

Catholic churches have daily mass (morning and evening) and special services for a saint's day or events like Stations of the Cross during Lent.
Some churches have daily breakfasts or coffee/pastries for the regulars.
There are church social groups that meet for things like playing cards, making quilts, feeding the hungry.
There are ministers that will bring the Blessed Sacraments to the sick at hospitals, nursing homes, or residences.

Lots of possible vectors for the spread of a virus, and the mortality rate of COVID-19 is highest among the elderly...so the above is my theory.

Interesting - another stat that should be looked at then - what other countries have similar significant Catholic populations?

Thank-you Mr. Trump.
Good luck relying on the ADMIN. during this crisis. We are no better than China.

Did you miss this little gem from the linked article?

"An NIAID spokesperson told Business Insider the claim in the Times report is "not true." "

So... maybe... and maybe not... I'm thinking not...

Here is the story that summarized her press briefing on tv this morning:

Thanks - dang, nothing in there about the test kits themselves - were they the new ones from the CDC? Or from some private commercial entity? What is their expected accuracy rate/potential for both false negatives and false positives.

Inquiring minds...

Ok for the adults and intelligent people in the room:

This is an important commentary by Bill Gates ( The man behind EVENT 201) published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Now we also face an immediate crisis. In the past week, Covid-19 has started behaving a lot like the once-in-a-century pathogen we’ve been worried about. I hope it’s not that bad, but we should assume it will be until we know otherwise.

There are two reasons that Covid-19 is such a threat. First, it can kill healthy adults in addition to elderly people with existing health problems. The data so far suggest that the virus has a case fatality risk around 1%; this rate would make it many times more severe than typical seasonal influenza, putting it somewhere between the 1957 influenza pandemic (0.6%) and the 1918 influenza pandemic (2%).

The Pope could also just have the flu. It's not like the Pale Rider has pulled the flu and called in Coronavirus off the bench to replace it, both are still in the game.

My apologies if this has been posted already. Canada is now up to 15 cases. The latest, Ontario’s 7th case, is a man who arrived from Iran.

The other cases are seven in BC in one in Quebec.

Iran again...

We have had a number of cases in the last few days.

www.cbc.ca...

In Denmark,a person returned from northern Italy with flu symptoms and first 9 days after the arrival he contacted the doctor and it shows that he has the virus. This person is from Copenhagen, imagine how many people he has passed it to? Imagine how many brushed it off as ordinary flu? Imagine how many cases like this one there are around the world?
I think millions and millions have it already. On a positive note,if that's the case, the death rate vs how many people have it is almost like ordinary flu

There are currently 84,112 confirmed cases worldwide, including 2,876 fatalities.

The parts of the world where this virus is popping up now is not making any sense.....No knows what the truth of the number of deaths are and how people are catching it.
