PANDEMIC!

They said it!

Double post.

Just received this from my in-law who received it from one of their relatives - may be some helpful information in here!

NOTE that this is NOT intended to be medical advice, simply sharing something that was passed along to me and making my own determinations, as everyone should. Don't just do something because someone said to on the internet.

Family and friends,
From my circle at Sloan…
From member of the Stanford hospital board. This is their feedback for now on Corona virus:

The new Coronavirus may not show sign of infection for many days. How can one know if he/she is infected? By the time they have fever and/or cough and go to the hospital, the lung is usually 50% Fibrosis and it's too late.

Taiwan experts provide a simple self-check that we can do every morning. Take a deep breath and hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stiffness or tightness, etc., it proves there is no Fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicates no infection. In critical time, please self-check every morning in an environment with clean air.

Serious excellent advice by Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases: Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat are moist, never dry. Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least. Why? Even if the virus gets into your mouth, drinking water or other liquids will wash them down through your throat and into the stomach. Once there, your stomach acid will kill all the virus. If you don't drink enough water more regularly, the virus can enter your windpipe and into the lungs. That's very dangerous. Please send and share this with family and friends. Take care everyone and may the world recover from this Coronavirus soon.

IMPORTANT tips - CORONAVIRUS
1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold

2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.

3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun. (ESB – This is good news.)

4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.

5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap .

6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it.

7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.

8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.

9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.

10. Can't emphasis enough - drink plenty of water! THE SYMPTOMS

11. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days.

The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.

With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.

The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.

That's probably why Trump and his team had the emergency meeting this morning, ahead of the announcement.

very good read regarding numbers

This is a good read.. it's a little long and full of numbers and graphs, but its written in a way that even the simplest of us (ie: me) can understand. Haven't got all the way to the end yet, but wanted to share. Dont think ove seen it here yet.

This was a an interesting and frightening read. Too much to take in on one sitting for me,gonna take more time later to take out all in.

I would have preferred if he had written it from a neutral/non bias perspective though, I could almost hear him getting excited as he typed😕

Thanks for sharing anyway 👍🏻🍻

The white house has just ordered for top level coronavirus meetings to be classified. Nothing spreads panic more than people being kept in the dark.

Question. If someone that is a long distance athlete gets the covid-19, mild pneumonia, then recovers. Are the lungs permanently damaged? Will the athlete be able to run long distance ever again? Asking for a friend.

I'm not an expert on the matter but this article says that fibrosis caused by severe cases will permanently damage the lungs. I would hope in mild cases it wouldn't

From the article,

One of the administration officials suggested the security clearances for meetings at HHS were imposed not to protect national security but to keep the information within a tight circle, to prevent leaks.

I just gotta ask.

To prevent leaks from what?

The president and almost every other authority figure has stated that it isn't a big deal, that it isn't any more worse than the flu.

Are they talking about nuclear security codes with the HHS? I dont think so.

They could, but until they recover enough of their lung function, I would probably be faster, pie in one hand, beer in the other. If you are asking for Rambo, tell him he could have 25% lung function and still take down the entire Russian army, even without the help of the Taliban.

No offence to the Russian army, but come on, it's Rambo.

Its reports like this that start to give me anxiety..what on earth are they hiding? Whatever it is wont be hidden for long as we will all soon me living it like they were in Wuhan.

Tin foil hat: I'm sure i read earlier in the year something about an ELE like a meteor or something and this being a precursor to that.. I cant remember how they linked it together but when I start getting anxious my mind wanders off to all these weird, and terrible extremes!! (Which I'll add, I dont believe, but my mind can be a funny place at times) anyway off topic, sorry!

You have got to be kidding me.

I was a huge Trump supporter, but he has bungled this big time!

Dollars to doughnuts that it was to review plans for the top brass to move into a secret bunker some place, when the time comes. They know it is coming, and going to look after themselves first. Screw the sheep.

Italy update. Not good.

any extension in filing deadline...is not generated by leadership-goodwill....


delays by the IRS in sending requested Forms is worse this year than the bad efficiencies of last year...
for instance it took until first week in February to receive the Forms 1099 MISC from the .gov site

on March 5th I phoned for tax forms, 5 each which cover asset sales/losses & a set of 1040 forms... the 5 to 7 day delivery date ends tomorrow 12 /March and no forms received as yet

I think the delay is not so much coronavirus disruption as Agency inefficiencies in sending mail/forms/correspondence, etc

I think this is what's going on!

a reply to: UFO1414

US is still allowing flights in from Italy, Iran, Germany, France, Spain, China??

That is a legitimate question... does US have any restrictions or just "advising people to avoid" those places?

a reply to: St Udio

You're right. IRS Budget was cut quite a bit after tax-reform.

And 99% of active Coronavirus cases in the USA are classified as "Mild".

www.worldometers.info...

Indiana just ticked up 4 new cases. So, from 6 to 10, just like that:
