CORONAVIRUS: Let’s Take A Look At Some Facts 😷

The Wuhan Coronavirus has been declared a global Emergency by tHE World Health Organization (WHO). 😷

Should we be worried here in Scotland?

Not the website’s usual type of article but sometimes there is a need if only to quench fears and calm nerves before the hysteria itself reaches pandemic levels.

😷 Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, the viruses cause respiratory infections – including the common cold – which are typically mild.

😷 Rarer forms such as SARS, MERS and the novel coronavirus causing the 2019–20 Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak can be lethal. In cows and pigs, coronaviruses cause diarrhea. In chickens, they cause an upper respiratory disease. 

😷 The name “coronavirus” is derived from the Latin corona, meaning crown or halo, which refers to the characteristic appearance of the virus particles (virions): they have a fringe reminiscent of a royal crown or of the solar corona.

😷😷😷There are no vaccines or antiviral drugs that are approved for prevention or treatment.

Human to human transmission of coronaviruses is primarily thought to occur among close contacts via respiratory droplets generated by sneezing and coughing. 😷😷😷

😷 Coronaviruses are believed to cause a significant percentage of all common colds in human adults.

Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)

Cross-sectional model of a coronavirus

In December 2019, a pneumonia outbreak was reported in Wuhan, China. 

On 31 December 2019, the outbreak was traced to a novel strain of coronavirus, which was labeled as 2019-nCoV by the World Health Organization (WHO).

😷As of 3 February 2020 (03:00 UTC), there have been 362 confirmed deaths and more than 17,335 confirmed cases in the coronavirus pneumonia outbreak.

^😷 The Wuhan strain has been identified as a new strain of Betacoronavirus from group 2B with an ~70% genetic similarity to the SARS-CoV. The virus was suspected to have originated in snakes, but many leading researchers disagree with this conclusion.

The virus has a 96% percent similarity to a bat coronavirus, so an origin in bats was widely suspected.

😷 Let’s Just Calm Down 😷

China is overpopulated and reports predict the population will peak in 2030 at 1.45 billion. In 2015 the population was around 1.37 billion.

The Coronavirus has reached 17,485 (as of this date: 03/02/2020) 

17,302 are infected in Mainland China.

Wouldn’t it be safe to say that given China is a densely packed overpopulated area, (and I really can’t stress that enough) the standard of hygiene (selling raw meat next to livestock, etc.), it would take very little for such an outbreak to occur and to reach epidemic proportions……in China? 🤔😷

The question is, why an outbreak now?

Was it accidental or deliberate?

Claims have also been made that the Coronavirus was lab-made bioweapon, these claims have been refuted, however, “Wuhan also has China’s only biosafety level four super laboratory that works with the world’s most deadly pathogens to include, yes, coronavirus.” 

HUBEI is a landlocked province in Central China. The provincial capital, WUHAN, serves as a major transportation hub and the political, cultural, and economic hub of Central China.

HUBEI has 11, 177 CONFIRMED INFECTED with the HIGHEST DEATH RATE: 350 and the HIGHEST RECOVERY RATE: 295 

The Coronavirus DEATH total overall: 362  – RECOVERY total overall: 506 (as of 03/02/2020)

Two people were infected in the Philippines – One has died

Outwith mainland China, the infection rate is relatively low and no higher than the seasonal flu, overall.

😷THE UK😷

There are two people infected in England.

As of 3 February, a total of 326 UK tests have concluded, of which 324 were confirmed negative and 2 positive.

1,466 passengers and 95 staff arrived in the UK on direct flights from Wuhan, China between 10 and 24 January.

• • 162 of the passengers have already left the UK
  • 53 of the crew have already left the UK
  • 1107 are now outside of the incubation period

Public Health England are working to contact the remaining passengers. (GOV.UK)

Another question that needs answering is why flights were allowed to leave China if the Coronavirus was already showing epidemic levels and running the risk of infecting other countries?

Claims are being made that this entire scenario is fake and it’s all about the vaccine. Other claims also being made in regards as to who owns the Patent, many have reported because the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supported the Pirbright Institute in the past and who owns the Patent for SARS, a coronavirus, but a different strain from the Wuhan Coronavirus strain, that they are behind it in a ruse to push the vaccine agenda. 

The Pirbright Institute is a research institute in Surrey, England, dedicated to the study of infectious diseases of farm animals. It forms part of the UK government’s Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.

This does not prove the Coronavirus is fake but it certainly raises serious questions and a few eyebrows, and there is no denying the vaccine agenda and past attempts to get people to comply.

A vaccine will not be ready in the UK until the summer.

There is no whistleblower, no video footage or any other evidence to suggest that this is not happening. The Ebola and Zika virus were fake, a hoax, and all caught on camera at various times. There were also whistleblowers with credible documented evidence exposing Ebola and Zika as fake and another push for vaccines. It failed. 

So why is it a global emergency when the figures outwith China are extremely low? Who knows how many left before news of the virus was announced? How many have been infected on the planes after the announcement and before airports refused all flights coming from China?

We don’t really know a great deal for certain and can only surmise about what’s really happening and the real agenda going by what we learned from the past and how they played out and why. 

Was it accidental or deliberate? What exactly caused the outbreak? Is it just another ruse to force the vaccine agenda? Is it all down to selling raw meat with livestock? I know it wasn’t from bat soup which is being reported as fact 😂

Do you think it’s time to stalk up on food supplies? Medical supplies? Hazmat suit? 😷😂

No, I really don’t think so. The recovery rate is greater than the death rate. The only logical reason that it’s at a pandemic level in China is more than likely due to overpopulation. Not trying to undermine the veracity of the contagion in China in any way or belittle the lives that have already been lost but why didn’t they close the borders immediately?

• Is it an epidemic? – Yes, in China
• Is the death rate high? – Yes, in China
• Is the recovery rate high? – Yes, in China

All we can do is watch and wait, use discernment when reading and listening to the news, time will tell. 😷

What I do find odd is that before this outbreak, China was up to its diplomatic eyeballs with Russia, Iran, and the U.S., very heated diplomatic relations if I remember and poof!…..just like that, it’s all forgotten about due to this outbreak. 

Just sayin’  😷

UPDATE: 4th FEBRUARY 2020

‘All patients were treated in isolation. 75 (76%) patients received antiviral treatment, including oseltamivir (75 mg every 12 h, orally), ganciclovir (0·25 g every 12 h, intravenously), and lopinavir and ritonavir tablets (500 mg twice daily, orally).

The duration of antiviral treatment was 3–14 days (median 3 days [IQR 3–6]). Most patients were given antibiotic treatment (table 2); 25 (25%) patients were treated with a single antibiotic and 45 (45%) patients were given combination therapy.

The antibiotics used generally covered common pathogens and some atypical pathogens; when secondary bacterial infection occurred, medication was administered according to the results of bacterial culture and drug sensitivity. The antibiotics used were cephalosporins, quinolones, carbapenems, tigecycline against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, linezolid, and antifungal drugs.

The duration of antibiotic treatment was 3–17 days (median 5 days [IQR 3–7]). 19 (19%) patients were also treated with methylprednisolone sodium succinate, methylprednisolone, and dexamethasone for 3–15 days (median 5 [3–7]).’  – Excerpt from Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 99 cases of 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan, China: a descriptive study, Lancet
