Corona Virus Updates Part 5

Has it been mentioned yet that testicular damage may occur as a result of the virus? The protein and
mRNA expression of ACE2 in the testes is almost the highest in the body, so may be a target point. I wonder if those infected have had fertility and hormone testing.

If this is man made for depopulation purposes then it would make a lot of sense...

An Open letter from the British Society for Immunology to the UK Govt bewildered at their strategy

BSI open letter to Government on SARS-CoV-2 outbreak response
14 March 2020

British Society for Immunology members are acutely aware of the implications that the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has for global public health. Following recent announcements from the UK Government on the steps they are taking to handle this outbreak, our community has voiced significant questions about the strategy proposed. To reflect these, we have sent the following open letter from our President, Professor Arne Akbar, to voice the thoughts of our immunology community to Professor Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer, Sir Patrick Vallance, Chief Scientific Officer and Rt Hon Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health & Social Care.

The world faces a huge challenge in light of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. The UK’s public health strategy differs from many other countries, with an aim to build herd immunity to protect the population. Within the immunology community, we have significant questions about this strategy. The ultimate aim of herd immunity is to stop disease spread and protect the most vulnerable in society. However, this strategy only works to reduce serious disease if, when building that immunity, vulnerable individuals are protected from becoming ill, for example through social distancing. If not, the consequences could be severe.

Additionally, there are many unknowns in how the SARS-CoV-2 virus interacts with the human immune system and how this might play into current scenarios. For example, we don’t yet know if this novel virus will induce long-term immunity in those affected as other related viruses do not. Therefore, it would be prudent to prevent infection in the first place. More research is urgently needed on this front.

The UK leads the world for the quality of our immunology research. Given our current lack of knowledge on SARS-CoV-2, our community of immunologists have two asks. Firstly, we feel more needs to be done to ensure social distancing to limit the number of COVID-19 cases in the short term, especially for vulnerable members of our communities. This will enable us to buy time until we understand the virus better and can begin to develop therapeutics. Secondly, to aid efforts, we call on the government to release their modelling data to allow scrutiny from the scientific community to better predict the course of this outbreak.

We have a small window of opportunity to protect our nation, to learn about this new emerging virus and to deal with this unprecedented threat to global health.

Elderly could be quarantined for four months in 'wartime-style' mobilisation to combat coronavirus, writes Robert Peston

People over 70 will be instructed by the government to stay in strict isolation at home or in care homes for four months, under a "wartime-style" mobilisation effort by the government likely to be enforced within the next 20 days.

It is part of a series of measures being prepared by the prime minister, health secretary, chief medical officer and chief scientific adviser to prevent the health service from "falling over" and to save lives as Covid-19 becomes an epidemic in the UK.

Other measures already being planned include:

the forced requisitioning of hotels and other buildings as temporary hospitals;
the requisitioning of private hospitals as emergency hospitals;
temporary closure of pubs, bars and restaurants - some time after next weekend's ban on mass gatherings;
emergency manufacture by several companies of respirators that would be necessary to keep alive those who become acutely ill;
the closure of schools for perhaps a few weeks, but with skeleton staff kept on to provide childcare for key workers in the NHS and police.
According to a senior government source, the perception that ministers are reluctant to make difficult and costly decisions to battle the virus is wrong. It is simply that the chief medical officer Chris Whitty and the chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance are waiting for the optimal time to force restrictions on our way of life that will be very painful.

They are deeply worried that some older people will simply die at home from neglect, after they are quarantined, so want to start the quarantine as late as possible - some time within the next five to 20 days.

As I have written in previous notes, all government efforts are based on the assumptions that there won't be a vaccine within a year and that everything has to be done to protect the collapse of the health service.

What keeps ministers and officials awake at night is the fear that if the epidemic becomes too great they would have to make appalling decisions, such as that the NHS would stop treating people over a certain age, such as 65.

"Everything is aimed at making sure the NHS is not overwhelmed, to save lives and to prevent hideous choices having to be made," said a source.

Plans are also well under way for doctors to give consultations to patients quarantined at home by video links over the internet.

PS. There are two other aspects of this wartime mobilisation

1) Army hospitals will be used.

2) Lockdowns of cities or parts of cities have NOT been ruled out.

Well thats not good news.

We'd better get used ot it though.
The whole world is going to be under quarantine, if it isn't almost already.

It’s been infecting homosapiens for 2-4 month less than 2 that we know of. It would be extremely naive and is extremely naive to even attempt to fully understand the effects of this virus to the human body in the long term. Sadly thou the holier than thou people out there still compare it to the flu, and think hysteria and panic in regards to a virus effecting homosapiens for the first time in this strain of a virus, has to do with politics. Remember leaders of countries do not lead to cause panic they lead to lead people in a direction, cause panic in soldiers they run.

We dunno. I remember when aids first appeared, that was panic and it was appropriate.

I think as long as you stay away from other people, you are fine.
Might get boring quick though...

Yeah, GA just initiated a state of emergency, and postponed the primary. The Governors executive order calls out the national guard and he can, if he chooses, restrict interstate travel into the state.

The good thing is that he seems to be intent on keeping commercials lines open and relaxing some regulations, so that stores can continue to resupply goods (food, gas, etc).

Also, GA power will not be discontinuing any service, and water will not be shut off.

So apparently Trumps COVID-19 test came back negative?

Spain’s pm’s wife. Yep you guessed it has wuflu. Breaking in Spain media.


Interesting how all these elites are contracting this virus. Might be something to focus on.

Might be an easy way for them to bug out. I was thinking the same thing in regards to Bill Gates stepping down

From the French Live Feed (They've woken up after an hour or so of shock) :

00h23 : Mulitple German regions restrict Public activity (Cinemas, Restaurants, etc...)

00h31 : Canada asks it's Citizens to return back to Canada via commercial means, while they still can.

Here in Collins County Texas all nonessential court cases have been suspended.

Curious to know what's included in "nonessential", or rather what types of cases will still go ahead?

I think it would civil cases like people being sued by collection agencies, etc...

Not sure, though.

Even if it was positive they'd likely not tell the public, if they even told him.

How many false negatives have we seen? I think it will take multiple tests over the next week or so.

Being he was in such close proximity to 2 people that had it. I would think the chances he caught it are pretty high.

11 new cases in Argentina today. 45 cases total, 3 were already discharged, 2 deaths and 40 in treatment.

I don’t know if it was already posted and I don’t have a link -I watch it in TV- but doctors were saying this virus is affecting more males than females.

Update from nebraska. All cases of covid19 have been identified. No community spread, only cases related from the hospitals. The governor is awaiting further instruction to possibly shut down schools but has held off. Stay safe, friends.

Spanish PM wife is positive, (Reuters )
Canada PM wife is positive,
Tom Hanks is positive,
A lot of politicians are actually positive.

Politicians are Over represented

Why ?

Is it because the virus is really widespread and they have priority access to tests ?

Or is it fake and they want to « personalize » it, maie it more « real » for US ??

Its about time someone reported on this.
Now the unprecedented activities that took place make sense.
Its the second time (Tawain) a researcher has said something about testicles
