I also have a good friend who is an exercise fanatic but can't seem to lose weight.

Yeah, well, exercise is pretty much useless for weight loss (contrary to popular myth).

She thinks she eats healthy but she eats a lot of low-fat and fat-free products, then washes it down with diet coke.

Which is a perfect example of what I mean when I say someone can appear to be healthy (no obvious symptoms to the contrary), and be extremely unhealthy on the inside.

We live in New Zealand and my best mates neighbor and her family is from Wuhan, China. He saw his neighbor yesterday after dropping his son at school and asked where her daughter was as she goes to the same school. She went on say her husband and daughter had gone to Wuhan for the lunar new year and were now trapped/quarantined due to the outbreak.

My friend asked if they were okay, she told him they weren’t sick - yet. He went on to ask if the media reports of the situation were accurate and she replied “much worse”. She said Chinese govt were lying and many people were dead, many more than what was being reported and that lots of their friends have already passed away. My friend replied taken aback suggesting older people or those already sick and she told him at the start yes but now people in their 20’s and 30’s and that things are really bad there.

My friend and I have both been tracking this thing as best we can from the start but after he told me that yesterday, it reiterated what we’ve thought for a while. China has been fudging the numbers since the start.

Going from 0-100 here but after everything I’ve seen, read and heard, I’m leaning towards bio weapon, population control, economic collapse, new draconian security measures worldwide, mandatory vaccines for international flights, cashless society, silencing of political dissidents.

As I was typing this, my mate just sent me some of the footage from Iran which has been really concerning. This one perhaps the most so and shows multiple body bags. The guy filming certainly sounds frightened.

Thanks for taking a look at the link.I'm very interested in following your findings.

I've lost almost 95 pounds over the last year. I got off my prescription meds. Then basically cut out all food(fasted a bit)and slowly started introducing things back in.

I never ate a lot, barely at all but, what I did eat was making me massively sick. Only cutting out and starting over did I realize just how bad some food was making me ill.

Now my 22 yes old has this Respiratory bug. Her fever went away but came back after 48 hours and her cough has now turned producing. So I'm side-eyeing her and telling her I might have to drag her into the doctors in 48hours if her fever is still here. She said she has no plans on going(even though she is worried about the virus.)

Yet, i can't get her to try healthier options and home remedies either.

This is one of those times your "kids" can be massively irritating.

Way to go! That’s great news. Stay up on it. You’ll be pleased to know I’m still working on licking all the donuts across the west coast, so I’d stay away from those!
I’m here to help! Hope your daughter feels better soon!

I posted the day before yesterday about being sick....

I ended up making myself leave work....I'm still all messed up but hoping I'll feel better on the morrow...

Just now I found out my coworker, and his sister (who is an RN) are also sick at home....

However, we all have runny noses I'm pretty sure, so probably just a flu or cold....

I'm texting with with him right now if they have anything interesting to say I'll share ......

I'm in a bad position because I can't afford to miss days....

Literally I'll be shoplifting to survive if it comes down to it......

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

I will post as it should be saved for posterity:

The top official of the World Health Organization said Tuesday that the disease caused by the new coronavirus has killed about 3.4 percent of those diagnosed with the illness globally — higher than what has previously been estimated. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1 percent of those infected, said WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.


Earlier estimates had put the coronavirus death rate in a range of about 2 percent, but officials have been hamstrung by the difficulty in getting an accurate count of those who may have had mild illnesses and not sought treatment. Despite a total of 90,893 reported cases of covid-19 globally, including 3,110 deaths, containment is still possible — and necessary — to save lives, Tedros said.

The biggest impediment to doing so, he said, is “the severe and increasing disruption to the global supply of personal protective equipment — caused by rising demand, hoarding and misuse.” He called on governments and manufacturers to boost production and secure supplies for critically affected and at-risk countries.

BELOW ARE the slides for the CDC MITIGATION PLAN:

Remember the current case fatality ratio as announced by the WHO for covid19 is 3.4% which is literally off the charts in regards to pandemic severity as defined by the CDC

they said the army is read to step in if there is panic?
that sounds like martial law!

why are they not just helping?
so stupid, they wait till its to late.
I wish they would watch the same horrer films as me.

the NON Contact temp tester!
Why do you see some press it to the head?
you can hold it 2 feet away. or more.
can you get it from sweat?

What are the criteria for setting the severity level?

If Dominos takes longer than 30 minutes based on the way health officials are measuring the threat....

Some food for thoughts. A possible reason why WHO hasn't declared pandemic yet.

Is Wall Street Behind the Delay in Declaring the Coronavirus Outbreak a “Pandemic”?

little known specialized bond created in 2017 by the World Bank may hold the answer as to why U.S. and global health authorities have declined to label the global spread of the novel coronavirus a “pandemic.” Those bonds, now often referred to as “pandemic bonds,” were ostensibly intended to transfer the risk of potential pandemics in low-income nations to financial markets.

Yet, in light of the growing coronavirus outbreak, the investors who purchased those products could lose millions if global health authorities were to use that label in relation to the surge in global coronavirus cases.

Pandemic Bonds: a “scheme like no other”
In June 2017, the World Bank announced the creation of “specialized bonds” that would be used to fund the previously created Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility (PEF) in the event of an officially-recognized (i.e. WHO-recognized) pandemic.

They were essentially sold under the premise that those who invested in the bonds would lose their money if any of six deadly pandemics hit, including coronavirus. Yet, if a pandemic did not occur before the bonds mature on July 15, 2020, investors would receive what they had originally paid for the bonds back in addition to interest and premium payments on those bonds that they recieve between the date of purchase and the bond’s maturation date.

Investors would lose their money if WHO declares corona a pandemic before July 15, 2020.

I really feel for your friend's neighbor. What a nightmare he must be living. I hope he gets his family back soon!!

And the Iran situation has me really concerned. I've seen videos of children hospitalized with shortness of breath, too.

Or there is no Pandemic,only paranoia so far...

Yep. Totally. China’s fine and stuff....Also pretty sure it’s not on every continent other than Antarctica. So we good

a reply to: slatesteam
Thank you... unfortunately my daughter developed a new symptom. I'm hoping it's a one off or we are going to be at the doctors sooner rather than later.

I'm trying to find humor in the situation.

I told her she would be the one to get sick during a "pandemic."LoL. During the swine flu she developed a flu like virus. The only time I recall my family ever being tested for the flu of any kind. She was negative....She said she just loves to mess with me.

F@@@ I wouldn't even be worried but the more "new" cases popping up have me a little on edge...and between her going to University and her sisters friends returning from DC and getting sick ...has me a little stressed.

a reply to: misfit312

No doubt. Stay strong for her and healing thoughts to you and your family. I went to the Drs teamsters ay because I’ve been dealing with shortness of breath for a week. Seems it might be anxiety. These damn threads..

Keep us posted?

Tough luck to be the one taking the wrong breath in a full room!

I know I know, how stupid of me! duh ...

Masks minimize the risk to spread viruses and bacteria.

Bacteria quite possibly as they are Huge compared to viruses, like the Empire State building is a bacteria compared to a cae for the virus

what maks DO do is stop any airborne droplets of saliva etc from coming out of your mouth and landing on something, and if somebdy else touches that 'something' i.e. your phone etc in the next few hours and touch their mouths (which we do a lot more thhan we realize and Yes, you can get sick -- but it's a precaution at best. Did you watch the video I linked?

It's interesting to see in the year 2020 (vision) we have a corona virus....

2020 vision

20/20 vision is a term for visual acuity in which the numerator refers to distance and the denominator refers to size

Origin

Name and morphology
The name "coronavirus" is derived from the Latin corona and the Greek κορώνη (korṓnē, "garland, wreath"), meaning crown or halo. The name refers to the characteristic appearance of virions (the infective form of the virus) by electron microscopy, which have a fringe of large, bulbous surface projections creating an image reminiscent of a crown or of a solar corona. This morphology is created by the viral spike (S) peplomers, which are proteins on the surface of the virus that determine host tropism.

Proteins that contribute to the overall structure of all coronaviruses are the spike (S), envelope (E), membrane (M), and nucleocapsid (N). In the specific case of the SARS coronavirus (see below), a defined receptor-binding domain on S mediates the attachment of the virus to its cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).[10] Some coronaviruses (specifically the members of Betacoronavirus subgroup A) also have a shorter spike-like protein called hemagglutinin esterase (HE).[5]

Corona

A corona (meaning "crown" in Latin)( tej rassak l corona) derived from Ancient Greek κορώνη (korōnè, "garland, wreath")) is an aura of plasma that surrounds the Sun and other stars. The Sun's corona extends millions of kilometres into outer space and is most easily seen during a total solar eclipse, but it is also observable with a coronagraph.

Spectroscopy measurements indicate strong ionization in the corona and a plasma temperature in excess of 1000000 kelvin,[1] much hotter than the surface of the Sun.

Light from the corona comes from three primary sources, from the same volume of space. The K-corona (K for kontinuierlich, "continuous" in German) is created by sunlight scattering off free electrons; Doppler broadening of the reflected photospheric absorption lines spreads them so greatly as to completely obscure them, giving the spectral appearance of a continuum with no absorption lines. The F-corona (F for Fraunhofer) is created by sunlight bouncing off dust particles, and is observable because its light contains the Fraunhofer absorption lines that are seen in raw sunlight; the F-corona extends to very high elongation angles from the Sun, where it is called the zodiacal light. The E-corona (E for emission) is due to spectral emission lines produced by ions that are present in the coronal plasma; it may be observed in broad or forbidden or hot spectral emission lines and is the main source of information about the corona's composition.[2]

That thankfully the Holy see has not caught...

The Holy See

The Holy See (Latin: Sancta Sedes, Ecclesiastical Latin: [ˈsaŋkta ˈsedes]; Italian: Santa Sede [ˈsanta ˈsɛːde]), also called the See of Rome, is the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Rome, known as the pope, which includes the apostolic episcopal see of the Diocese of Rome with universal ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the worldwide Catholic Church, as well as a sovereign entity of international law.
