Coronavirus outbreak: First confirmed cases in Europe as France declares two infections
Sky News ^ | January 24th, 2020 | Sunita Patel-Carstairs

The new deadly coronavirus has now reached Europe after France confirmed two cases.

A 48-year-old man is being treated in a Bordeaux hospital in the southwest of the country after testing positive.

He had passed through the Chinese city of Wuhan - the epicentre of the outbreak - before arriving in France on Wednesday.

The second person was in hospital in Paris and had also travelled to China but little more is known about them.

Based on reported numbers only, this virus is holding steady at about a 3% fatality rate.

26/850 = 3%.

That would crush any and every public health system in the world.

And it's everywhere now. It cannot be contained.

The biggest hurdle to containment is the 14 day incubation.

And persistence on hard surfaces...just like the regular cold virus.

I watched that movie “Contagion” last week and I can’t believe the same thing is happening. In the movie the virus starts in China from bat guano on corn that pigs ate and they are saying the same thing happened here.

Sure, dive into a 50 gallon barrel of CS solution and stay there. You won’t get infected with coronavirus.

“Collodidal silver kills all viruses”

The jury is out on that...

But when SHTF/Zombie World arrives, it wouldn’t hurt to keep a few silver coins, cleaned and sterilized by H2O2.

Just in case.

If this thing is as bad as it appear to be then the measures that would be required to slow this thing down are so Restrictive that they will never be put in place before it is too late for them to have any effect. Most travel would have to be suspended(Except for life sustaining resources under strict supervision). people would need to shelter in place. And the economy would then shut down, and that would lead to a different kind of societal breakdown. So we just might be screwed here. It reminds me of that old saying- “Only God can save us now.”

But Global Travel should be the first to go. It is by far the easiest to implement.

Overpopulated China needs to kill off about a quarter billion of its people. War would devastate their infrastructure, so they’re trying disease. But it got loose...

Screenplay to follow.

No, it doesn’t. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/expert-answers/colloidal-silver/faq-20058061

People have sold colloidal silver as a cure to the AIDS virus.

It isn’t.

Open those borders!! We’re a nation of immigrants. Who are we to deny entrance to someone just because they’re poor, diseased, physically or mentally disabled, or unemployable? Rich countries have no right to control their own immigration. The only immigration policy is open borders!

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.

Shouldn't it be called colloidal blue? Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine. That's gold, Jerry! Gold!

The video is right on.

Corona spreads like wildfire. And it’s loose. And it’s very hard to protect from.

Isolation works best.

Perhaps - but it begs the question, “Why isn’t it widely used and dispensed?”
