CORONAVIRUS - 2020

[One O'Clock Drop]

UPDATED


SARS-CoV-2 is the name of the novel Coronavirus we are talking about.

COVID-19 is the respiratory disease caused by the virus.

———————————
Properties of SARS-CoV-2:

80% SARS.
HIV-like mutations.
Incredibly infectious.
Long incubation period.
Aerosol transmission in some cases.
Transmission from asymptomatic people.
It can invade the central nervous system and shut down AUTOMATIC BREATHING.
10-20% end up in the ICU.
The disease acts like a combination of SARS, MERS and AIDS
Also, It either reinfects, never leaves and/or is biphasic.
———————————

It’s highly infectious. Estimated to be between an R0 of 4-7

Japanese study says, “Simple conversations in close proximity could spread the virus without coughs and sneezes.”

The virus can enter through the eyes as well, adding to the infectivity

Flu has a mortality rate of 1/10th of one percent = .1%

WHO has stated that the mortality rate for COVID-19 is 3.4%. Italy has had a much higher mortality rate

"Globally, about 3.4% of reported #COVID19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected"-@DrTedros #coronavirus

— World Health Organization (WHO) (@WHO) March 3, 2020

80% SARS and HIV-like mutations https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3052495/coronavirus-far-more-likely-sars-bond-human-cells-scientists-say

"Pre-symptomatic transmission may be essential to consider for containment and mitigation strategies for COVID-19"

Early tweets about Asymptomatic transmission

In Daegu, 1900 Shincheonji Church members have been tested for coronavirus.

1300 had symptoms & 600 did not.

Among those 1300 with symptoms, 87.5% were confirmed with the virus .

BUT out of the 600 WITHOUT symptoms, 70% were confirmed with coronavirus.

This is just one of many reports of people being reinfected. We still don’t know if it’s biphasic, never leaves the body or if it’s actually reinfection. But, the long incubation period may play into that as well.

And this is about the virus re-emerging.

Second infection is worse

Incubation period

Aerosol/Airborne transmission

Aerosol transmission
“The tests show that when the virus is carried by the droplets released when someone coughs or sneezes, it remains viable, or able to still infect people, in aerosols for at least three hours.”

This article talks about the fact that some viruses don’t leave the body. This particular virus is very good at hiding https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/1253132/Coronavirus-news-infection-COVID19-for-life-virus-warning-latest-coronavirus

“Neurological symptoms fall into three categories: central nervous system (CNS) symptoms or diseases (headache, dizziness, impaired consciousness, ataxia, acute cerebrovascular disease, and epilepsy), peripheral nervous system (PNS) symptoms (hypogeusia, hyposmia, hypopsia, and neuralgia), and skeletal muscular symptoms”

Kills lung cells and makes the immune system go haywire, “If a severe infection takes hold it may move on to cause damage or dysfunction to the stomach, intestines, heart, liver and kidneys, and even provoke organ failure”

They still can’t figure out if they are being reinfected, it’s re-emerging or it’s bad tests. People who were “recovered” are turning up positive again

10% of confirmed cases go to the ICU. That’s will overwhelm any city and all hospitals

Amazing twitter thread about the health care system being overloaded

I think most people aren’t aware of the risk of systemic healthcare failure due to #COVID19 because they simply haven’t run the numbers yet. Let’s talk math. 1/n
