Breaking Around 500 to leave quarantined Japan cruise ship on Wednesday: official
Doctors working on the front lines of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak have told the Taiwan Times that it’s possible to become reinfected by the virus, leading to death from sudden heart failure in some cases.“It’s highly possible to get infected a second time. A few people recovered from the first time by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart tissue, and when they get it the second time, the antibody doesn’t help but makes it worse, and they die a sudden death from heart failure,” reads a message forwarded to Taiwan News from a relative of one of the doctors living in the United Kingdom.
The source also said the virus has “outsmarted all of us,” as it can hide symptoms for up to 24 days. This assertion has been made independently elsewhere, with Chinese pulmonologist Zhong Nanshan (???) saying the average incubation period is three days, but it can take as little as one day and up to 24 days to develop symptoms.
I have been saying since day 1 - if they left the passengers on the ship they will all catch the virus for the simple reason that Cruise ship crew members are not trained in proper isolation procedure.
They can go through the motions but if you don’t do it correctly you may as well not do it at all.
I personally believe when all said and done it is the crew members that are spreading the virus (not on purpose but out of ignorance).
Equally curious is the fact that Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation sponsored a novel coronavirus pandemic preparedness exercise October 18, 2019, in New York called “Event 201.“46
The simulation predicted a global death toll of 65 million people within a span of 18 months.47 As reported by Forbes December 12, 2019:48
“The experts ran through a carefully designed, detailed simulation of a new (fictional) viral illness called CAPS or coronavirus acute pulmonary syndrome. This was modeled after previous epidemics like SARS and MERS.”
Sounds exactly like NCIP, doesn’t it? Yet the new coronavirus responsible for NCIP had not yet been identified at the time of the simulation, and the first case wasn’t reported until two months later.
Forbes also refers to the fictional pandemic as “Disease X” — the same designation used by The Telegraph in its January 24, 2020, video report, “Could This Coronavirus be Disease X?“49 which suggests that media outlets were briefed and there was coordination ahead of time with regard to use of certain keywords and catchphrases in news reports and opinion articles.
Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is the biggest recipient of research grants from federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation and Department of Defense and has received millions of dollars in research grants from the Gates Foundation.50 In 2016, Johns Hopkins spent more than $2 billion on research projects, leading all U.S. universities in research spending for the 38th year in a row.51
If research funded by federal agencies, such as the DOD or HHS is classified as being performed “in the interest of national security,” it is exempt from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.52
Research conducted under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is completely shielded from FOIA requests by the public.53 Additionally, agencies may deny FOIA requests and withhold information if government officials conclude that shielding it from public view “protects trade secrets and commercial or financial information which could harm the competitive posture or business interests of a company.“54

Watch the video, people, and remember, our bureaucrats are no less arrogant...Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
No infection control?
You mean all the annual Norwalk outbreaks aboard cruuse ships lead people to expect that cruise ship companies know something about infection control?
SNORT.
Watched the Twitter video...wow!
The guy (that knows disease control well) was scared for his life just being on that cruise ship.
A film director’s entire family killed by the virus:
It was stupid to think a quarantine could actually be accomplished on a cruise ship. They are more like floating petri dishes. To think that an airborne disease can be contained between rooms of a steel box with a common ventilation system without any filtering or disinfectant is absurd.
It is likewise stupid to think anyone on an airplane can be isolated.
Summer and sunlight are all that will pause this disease spread. The chicoms may have killed a lot of us with their booming economy and power and arrogance.
I never wanted to go on one before, now I definitely don't want to go near one.
Floating like a canned sardine with a bunch of drunks and a sealed air system...
Update from Professor Iwata himself:
So, it would seem the Professor’s vid did its job. Good for him and the people at risk!
Who says one person can’t make a difference?(!)
