Corona Virus Updates Part 4

edit due to people thinking it was bunk

Trying to follow this all, but does anyone else see wild similarities to the phone game Plague, Inc?!?!

The whole thing is unfolding like a scenario of the game. Governments collapsing are next.

Anyone know what this means? I'm interpreting it to mean that the total variations are 134? Anyone know?

We've updated nextstrain.org... with 5 new #SARSCoV2 genomes from the #COVID19 pandemic from Japan, China and Canada bringing the worldwide total up to 134(!). 1/4

So does that mean there are 5 different variants of this Cov19?

I really don't know! I read early on that it was mutating faster than most viruses do. Lots of posts here that it WASN'T mutating but I read it in a medical journal way back in the beginning of Feb. I've been seeing talk on Twitter from Dr's about it being slightly different in each country. So much info coming out I'm having a hard time keeping up!

That's why I asked, because like you that is what I have been reading in reputable science pages too. It's mutating individually once it gets in your system....and then seems to have different strains in different countries. I have just been waiting for it to be confirmed more substantially....that's why I thought your post was it!

Thank you, I know it's relatively minor, but things like this are why trust in government are so low. I know president Trump has to go by what he is told, but it seems to me he could have made sure the information was properly vetted prior to the public announcement.

It also tells me that there is indeed unaccounted for and unchecked community spread in that area.

I posted this in parts 2 and 3 as well. I know it is not an "update", and there are some that are getting upset about seeing information to help prepare. Well too bad. This is the best thread to do it in, as so many come and go. It has the best chance of helping someone out, with so many reading it. This will be the last time I post this, as I believe the time to prep is coming to an end.

I will re-post it here for those interested. It is only about food, nothing else, and is a pretty quick overview.

I am going to give some tips, and this is for everyone. I think it is good information, and I don't want to hold on to it if it can help someone. I am not a prepper per se, but I have been preparing since the Ebola scare in 2014. I am not panicked, and have continued daily life. I have done some research, and believe I am ready to "shelter in place" if the SHTF.

1. Calories are King.
If you are looking into emergency food, or even just canned goods, forget about the number of servings advertised. It means nothing. You need to calculate the number of calories per day that you and your family need. The very lowest an adult can survive on is about 1,300 calories a day. Maybe a little lower for short periods of time. That number would not be comfortable in the long run, and after a few months you would be pretty thin and frail.

An adult male can make it by pretty easy on 2,000-2200 calories a day, and an adult female on 1,800 to 2,000 calories a day. Children need less, but it depends on age. I have a family of 5. The oldest boy is 17, so I calculate him as an adult. I use a rough figure of 2,000 calories a day for the adults, and 1,500 per day for the two smaller ones. So my family would need approximately 9,000 calories a day to be comfortable. Right now, in emergency food, I have about 1,600,000 calories. I count all the servings by the number of calories per serving for each box, bag, or can. 1.6 million calories will last us about 177 days, or 5.9 months.

2.Reasons for Rice.
Rice is going to be one of your best friends in an emergency. It is easy to cook, high in calories, and will give you that nice full feeling. It may get boring after a while, but it will keep you alive. I have about 150lbs. of rice that makes up a percentage of my total 1.6 million calories.

3.Protein is Paramount
Make sure you have good sources of protein. You can't live on rice alone. Meats of course are good protein, but so are a lot of beans. My protein consists of dehydrated meat in 30 year cans. It is emergency rations, so it stays sealed until needed. They also make a soy based, meat flavored substitute. I hate soy, but in survival mode, it will do. I also can hunt small game on my land if needed.

4.Spice is Nice
In survival mode even emergency food can get boring. Make sure to mix it up, different meals, and spices. Bullion cubes can flavor things up nicely. Gravy mixes and other spices can go a long way to make things more palatable.

5.Fruits are Fun
Again, most of the fruits and veggies I have are in freeze dried form. However, I also do have some canned. Canned takes up more room, and heavier. Plus when you figure in the cost per calorie count, freeze dried is a better deal. A mix of both makes for some choices. Just doing things like adding some dried strawberries or bananas to your oatmeal will keep the boredom at bay. Plus you need the vitamins and minerals from such foods.

6.Starch is Safe.
Potatoes, pasta and the like are good sources of starch. Plus in dry form they are easy to keep. They are also easy to prepare, and give you longer term energy.

7.Do Dairy Dry.
Running to the store to get eggs, milk and butter will be a no go in a "shelter in place" situation. Dry milk or milk substitute are good for cooking and drinking. You will need more than you think, so make sure you get enough. Eggs and butter also come freeze dried. These items do not last long enough when fresh, and people use more than they realize.

8.Flour is Power
Flour for making bread is a must. Remember you will also need oil, eggs, yeast and butter. You can also grind your own if you get hard red wheat. You can also make cakes and other things with flour to help break up the food boredom. I have a number of 5lb. bags, and will be getting more. I vacuum seal them, and then freeze them for a day to two. The freezing will kill any worm larva, which happens naturally in flour. That way it will keep longer.

There is so much more, I could go on and on, but that is a good start. The main thing to remember is calorie counting, and avoiding food boredom.

Don't panic, but be prepared. I hope this will help someone out.

Hi

Yep...

Scientist: Hundreds may already be infected by coronavirus in Washington state alone

"I believe we're facing an already substantial outbreak in Washington State that was not detected until now," Trevor Bedford, a biologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, posted on Twitter. "There are some enormous implications here."

Bedford studied two cases that were confirmed more than a month apart and determined they are linked through community transmission – from a source not directly linked to another known case. Bedford tweeted his belief that the virus has been racing undetected, at least in Washington state, for six weeks.

Dr. Paul Cotrell on YouTube received whistleblower text warning of #coronavirus Northern California quarantine by FEMA Monday morning March 2nd, “nobody leaves,” likely Sacramento, San Francisco, Solano, unsure about Redding, Shasta, Tehama, Eureka and other low lying areas.

It'll be the whole bay area: A lady in Santa Rosa, CA skipped quarantine a week ago. There was also a confirmed community spread in the south bay near San Jose.

It's tetbury apparently, a teacher at a primary school

I'm super paranoid they are going to do the same thing with Seattle. My husband has been there since last week and doesn't get back on the plane home until Tuesday at 2pm. If they shut off Cali they'll do the same for Seattle and then I'm separated from my husband during this

I have inside sources that tell me all the things about this virus that you do not know that they do not want to admit.
please don't ban, its a bit tongue in cheek, but maybe .......
1) The corona virus is a unprecedented and a highly intelligent lifeform that has many different traits no normally associated with "viruses"

2)Under cover researches have attributed personality to the virus. This means it makes decisions beyond it's own survival. It gathers information about it's environment and responding with likes and dislikes.

3) The virus has a digital component and is transdimensional, this means it can communicate with cellphones and technology such as the internet, and has access to multiple realities and timelines and is considered at-least 4th dimensional in it's operation

4) The virus does not necessarily attack a persons body and may actually make the person stronger, depending on if the virus likes the person. This has never beeng seen before in any so called virus

5) The virus is able to hide to the point where it can appear as a common flu, with a wide range of camouflage ability. Under cover researchers have discovered that it now only knows when it's trying to be detected, but it makes a decision on if and when the virus wants to show itself as 'infected' or if it wants to remain completely hidden in someone.

6) The virus has it's own goals that can be considered global agendas. This means that it will act to either stop the certain trade of specific products on purpose and in an intelligent way, or it will advance or slow down an economy based on it's own wishes.

7) The virus has being observed to not like certain types of immoral behavior, people who have a bad record in some way often display more dramatic symptoms from this virus. While an honest and selfless person often has little to no symptoms and their immune system seems to adapt and become 'super advanced' in it's operation

Ummm.... Ok.....

I think it might be time to put the crack pipe down. LOL

They'll lock down Seattle followed by Portland once cases start spiking here..

Why do you think Nike is closing down and deep cleaning all of their facilities in Portland?..

a reply to: Bicent

What data are you sifting through to get .5-1%?
Deaths / total
3000÷88000 = 0.034 x 100 = 3.4%

OR

Recovered / total outcome
42000 ÷ 45000 = 0.93 x 100 =93%

Meaning 7% of all outcomes is death.

Hey there, DWW!

I've seen you in a couple of these threads and have meant to say hi but haven't taken the opportunity just yet, so, HELLO

Glad you're back, too bad it's under such circumstances. Just need a few more free m the old fukushima thread and it will be good ol' ATS again.

Anyway, thank you for the update. As soon as I saw that the features want related to any of the known cases, I knew things were further along than had been reported.

Not long now and we will see blooms in different parts of the country. I can't imagine what it will be like a month from now...
