Wuhan Flu

Wuhan Flu 20 Comments

Scientists have identified a pair of neutralizing antibodies, isolated from a recovered #COVID19 patient, that block the #SARSCoV2 spike’s ability to bind to the #ACE2 receptor – a necessary step for viral entry into host cells. Read the research: https://fcld.ly/cx975oe

Male privilege.

Political privilege: Pennsylvania Health Secretary moved own mother out of a nursing home during pandemic while directing infected patients into them

@DrZoeHyde — The unusual #Kawasaki-like illness affecting children in #COVID19 hotspots has a new name: paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome.

There will be no scrutiny of China.

    1. EVERY death since about Feb. 20 has been a Covid death. Nobody dies of the common influenza or pneumonia anymore. Heart attack deaths are way down, as well. Cancer is the newest Corona victim out there, nobody gets proper cancer treatments anymore. The monetary difference in Covid-positive cases explains the ‘New Medicine’ for the 21st Century. There is just too many things that don’t add up, for shenanigans to be not in play.

  2. From the Sydney Herald:

    “Victoria and Queensland have warned the federal government to be more diplomatic in pursuit of a coronavirus inquiry, fearing that Australia’s escalating trade dispute with China will harm already fragile state economies.

    But new research to be released on Thursday shows Australians are critical of the Chinese government’s response to the pandemic and support the federal government’s approach.”

    As of this writing, Australia only has ninety-eight deaths. The majority of infection cases are in the 30 to 40 year old range:

    Just putting that out there.

  3. CHINA…?? Let them EAT CAKE.
    The kind that can be found on any Prairie grazing ground…
    How sad that the Eunuch in Charge has absolutely no intention of following Australias lead.

    It’s what you get when you have a TRAITOR in the house.

  4. How does one lisp about “Trading opportunities in China” as Canada sells ,at a discount, all the meat they can to cover off China’s punishment of Australia?
    All the while bragging about what staunch supporters of Australia we are..
    And the Queen’s Loyal Opposition of Canada will nod along,as they too do not wish to upset their Oriental Masters.
    When are we leaving?
    The cowardice of central Canada gives a whole new meaning to “Yellow Streak”.

  5. Maybe in Oz the constant exposure to the Sun has led to a more immune population, that is, if you can survive the threat of melanoma.

  6. That Health Secretary who moved mother out of care facility. Do a little google search and check out the photo. Rachel Levine is the name… Welcome to the 21st century. Rachel Levine is a man playing dress up. He is mentally ill, IMO. And, he calls the shots for the state of Pennsylvania on all things “health” related. Irony?

    Just about every press event, he chastises the media when some reporter calls him “sir.”

  7. The information about the identifying the antibodies is very exciting. I wish I understood what the hell they were saying!
    My very little understanding of these things is that these antibody molecules are great big things with lots of moving parts. Can these be produced quickly, efficiently and at a reasonable price?

    I thought there was a doc who had his own biotech company that had identified antibodies back at the start of April. (Might have even been the end of March) I wish I could remember his name or his company but all I can remember was that he had black, very curly hair!

    I hope someone who is more literate in these matters can provide more illumination

    2. Antibodies are proteins produced in the blood of a human body that has been infected by any virus or bacteria. These antibodies are what the body uses to fight off disease. They can be collected and filtered out of blood but this is highly inefficient and very expensive. This is why we have vaccines. Vaccines are (usually) “dead” or “inert” versions of viruses that are injected into the body and then the body produces its own antibodies that will help fight off any future infection. (as told to me by a Physician relative)

      Antibodies may prevent disease for many decades (chicken pox) or a few months (influenza) or only a few weeks (common cold). No one yet knows how long coronavirus antibodies will prevent re-infection. This is why we do not yet know if “herd immunity” is even possible for COVID. Hopefully we will find out soon.

  8. 5447 cases of Kawasaki Disease diagnosed annually in the USA. I’m no doctor, but I would have a good look at alternatives that have been around a while before I start blaming covid-19 for every instance of something that a doctor has never seen before.

    https://kdfoundation.org/

    The NHS says there is no test to determine Kawasaki Disease: “There’s no single test to diagnose Kawasaki disease, but there are some key signs that suggest a child may have this condition.”

    https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/kawasaki-disease/diagnosis/

    But you know that with every story about children, the teachers unions get some ammo to decline going to work. As well the media gets to whip up some more fear porn, I mean, who else wants kids to die except conservatives that want to open the economy back up, eh?

  9. “Officials in Beijing have threatened to decimate Australia’s foreign trade unless the nation drops its probe into the origins of the coronavirus outbreak.”

    This is what happens when you trade with enemy. They make you a deal you can’t refuse and then they own you.

    This has been written when Wuhan Plague was already killing but when Chicoms still kept it secret: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/28/world/australia/china-spying-wang-liqiang-nick-zhao.html

    “After a businessman said Chinese agents sought to implant him in Parliament, that revelation and other espionage cases have finally signaled the end of a “let’s get rich together” era.”

      I do hope your lead in was sarcasm.
      But thank you for posting that,as it is written well enough that most can understand it.
      Very interesting and makes sense.

  12. That Pennsylvania Health Secretary is a trannie eh?

    I’m old and old fashioned; wuz thinking there’s something off about that woman.
