Corona Virus Updates Part 6

So it looks like the corvid 19 virus can survive at very high heat to the point of boiling. Meaning that it may not be a seasonal pandemic and may continue to reproduce year round. The types of bacteria floating in the air may change with the seasons as well as the usual cold and flu seasons but corvid 19 may be there alongside with them the entire time regardless of temperatures.

Coronavirus can survive long exposure to high temperature, a threat to lab staff around world: paper
French scientists had to bring the temperature to almost boiling point to kill virus
Results have implications for the safety of lab technicians working with the virus

The new coronavirus can survive long exposure to high temperatures, according to an experiment by a team of French scientists.
Professor Remi Charrel and colleagues at the Aix-Marseille University in southern France heated the virus that causes Covid-19 to 60 degrees Celsius (140 Fahrenheit) for an hour and found that some strains were still able to replicate.
The scientists had to bring the temperature to almost boiling point to kill the virus completely, according to their non-peer-reviewed paper released on bioRxiv.org on Saturday. The results have implications for the safety of lab technicians working with the virus.

Well, it looks like there is a new hit piece out on the drug chloroquine. Rita Hanks was interviewed this morning and said that she took the drug and it didn't really "help" her in her recover. Funny thing to say Rita. I bet the ones that died wish they were still alive to complain about receiving it. The fear mongering with this whole situation is just ridiculous. Here's a link to this ingrate.

I wonder what happens if the rest of the world start to force quarantine the usa?
They wont buy our goods, They wont allow americans to visit their countries.

The higher our infection rate goes the more likely it will be that the rest of the world isn't going to want to be around the usa.

I was listening to talk radio in Spain this morning and they said there was evidence that there were more cases where it was cooler as opposed to warmer and a particular temp range had the lesser cases. An example was Madrid and the basque country because they were in that range of between 9-15c I think. Cant remember the exact ranges given. Were it was outside that range and higher there were a lot less cases. Something or nothing!

we are officially over 2mil.


Coronavirus Cases:
2,027,643

Deaths:
129,155

Recovered:
494,561

www.worldometers.info/coronavirus

How long did it take to reach 1 mil?? Few weeks later we are at 2mil.

BUT I still think the death rates ratio is miniscule and this virus has been blown out of proportion with the Governments taking full advantage!

found it:

According to WHO figures, there were around 153,000 cases a month ago on March 15, but the figure had risen to 751,000 by March 31. The global tally passed one million on April 2, and has now doubled again in the space of two weeks.

She probably self-administered, without taking the "activator" ingredient. You don't have to be smart to be an actress/actor.

Just hearing on the UK Sky news this morning about a 98 year old lady who was in hospital for 5 days with the Chrojan Virus (Covid-19) and she had breathing difficulties etc but managed to recover and is now at home convalescing.

Here is a wild speculation about the virus.

It appears that the virus is in control when it comes to whether it kills you or not and if a virus does its best to survive could the virus have the innate ability to randomly auto hibernate hence the range of symptoms from loss of sense of smell through to death. So in one person it may randomly auto hibernate after 4 or 6 or 10 days. And would this help explain the re-infections (auto re-infections?).

If the above was true are the implications dire?

Furthermore could the virus have become Narcoleptic as a side effect of virus enhancement but in a random unstable way hence hibernation can occur at anytime after entering a host be that from day 1 to death (and beyond).

Calcium channel blocker amlodipine besylate is associated with reduced case fatality rate of COVID-19 patients with hypertension

Very interesting! Does this suggest that reducing calcium absorption before infection(as well after) may be beneficial?

Nope. Just that if you're on that blood pressure medicine (I am, by the way) you have a better chance with COVID-19.

Soap and water kills it.

Cautiously optimistic.

Testing levels have been quite good (almost 20,000) with only 2.5% testing positive. Three day average of daily new positives has been declining from April 2 (31.67) to yesterday (6).

Hawaii's Lt. Gov, Dr. Josh Green, said in an interview this morning that Hawaii may begin relaxing mitigation measures in as little as 2 weeks.

Hawaii Imua!

Thousands of coronavirus tests are going unused in labs

US labs that underwent huge efforts to retool for COVID-19 testing still aren’t operating at full capacity. Experts say the lack of a national strategy is largely to blame.

As the United States struggles to test people for COVID-19, academic laboratories that are ready and able to run diagnostics are not operating at full capacity.

A Nature investigation of several university labs certified to test for the virus finds that they have been held up by regulatory, logistic and administrative obstacles, and stymied by the fragmented US health-care system

More at the link (a brief article), but the headline and first paragraphs say it all - lack of a coordinated national strategy is making things much worse. I don't hold out any hope for any sort of universal national strategy, although we need it desprately.

Happy April 15th!!!!

Based on today's numbers whereby we are now over 2m recorded infections and counting and 130k recorded deaths, my global numbers predicted on 7 Apr 2020 for the 30 Apr 2020 (Total cases = 2,908,284 & Deaths = 228,014) are well on target and won't be far from reality. And the total recorded deaths will be around 8-9% of recorded cases.

World as at 7 Apr 2020
Total Cases 1,411,099
New Cases 65,095
Total Deaths 81,044
New Deaths 6,390
Total Recovered 300,759
Active Cases 1,029,296
Serious, Critical 47,836
Total by 30/04/2020 Cases 2,908,284
New by 30/04/2020 Cases 1,497,185
Total by 30/04/2020 Deaths 228,014
Total by 14/12/2020 Deaths 20,666,220 min (could be 2 to 20 times this number depending on Africa and Non Health Service States)

Only with ARB and calcium not with ACE inhibitors. so far research has shown.

your numbers look really low,

total cases are dependent on testing and as most country's are testing more you'll expect x5 x10 those numbers, this will most likely be because more people are catching the virus and not the testing that proves you got it.

death rate could be x2 or x? and that's for the 30th April figure. the death might be 450k to 600k.

So do you have source for those Claims?

Hope about the different islands are there any travel restrictions enforced between them?

My numbers assume testing levels as at 7 Apr 2020 so it would not surprise me if the recorded numbers are much higher come 30 Apr. My numbers are minimum/baseline based on the situation as at 7 Apr 2020. Also note that the numbers indicated could be 2 to 20x more come Dec 2020.

I Will not update my assumptions etc until 30 Apr 2020 which should give an idea of what the numbers will be by 30 June.

New York revises the death toll to add 3,700 people whom they suspect could have had coronavirus when they died.

Side note… I have been/ and am using BNOnews, who have already added the 3,778 ‘probable’ additional deaths from New York State, reported on April 14, already into their numbers. Worldometers is temporarily holding off, seeing if historical information will be released as to when the deaths occurred (see their notes in their site).
