Me believe what I write? Are you crazy? Sheesh.. get a hold of yourself man! I hope you didn't believe it too! Of course I CAN believe Beijing Health researcher and Coronavirus expert at the University of Beijing says when she states a billion people will get the virus worldwide and there is no way to stop it, and it's "here to stay" But we know SHE doesn't believe hereself or what she says either! I am naive to, therefore. She is only a person who devoted here life to studying the coronavirus and its diseases in a research lab. How right can she be? Experts can be wrong, therefore she is.
I don't personally believe it will go that far. I compare it to 1918 flu which was just as morbid, and it burnt itelf out in less than two years killing only 18 million worldwide. If SARS afflicted 1 billion, it would kill 100 million people worldwide. I think its mutation speed will allow us get lucky before that figure is reached.
There are people who say that we didn't have the techniques and antibiotics in 1918, so a new 1918 flu or similar viral illness would not be able to kill that many. They say "secondary infection", presumably combatable by antibiotics (pleurisy), killed the people in 1918. Guess what. They don't have a clue what they are talking about. Respiratory flu, filling the lungs with water and damaging the alveoli caused the deaths back then, and that was caused solely by the flu virus, not "secondary infection" It killed people between 20 and 40 predominantly, and hardly anyone else, so it was called the young people's flu. It was also called the black flu as people turned blue from lack of oxygen, and got black blotches on their skin. If they had buckets of penicillin in 1918, the death rate would have been hardly an iota less.
I am sticking my head in the sand. Coronovirus and SARS cannot spread to 30 countries (has it?) if we ban flying and walking and talking and all people with temperatures are shot on sight and burned. (that is what the laser stand off temperature gun is for, it reads temperatures and carries out executions)
I know it will work. Coronavirus survives for up to six days on metal and linen surfaces, but reading a newspaper a SARS afflicted paper boy left you CANNOT cause the disease, as you absently mindedly pick you nose and read the paper, contemplating this fact.
The common cold does not get around by being easy to transmit by coughing and sneezing droplets, although it can be spread that way. It gets its currency by being a persistent surface-spread, out-of-the-body virus. It hang around places. It spreads by touch, not just the air like flus can easily. But in this way does it spread fast? You bet it does. It can cover a town in a month. A country in a few more. Amazing, but that is the speed of readily communicable, airborne and surface-borne diseases.
We can say SARS was lept on because it was so fatal. It may be up to ten per cent fatal, as is the average of the mortal RNA diseases. It is a hummdinger in that it mutates so fast that a vaccine may be useless in a month. As well the virus has a very poor immune response. It incubates in the nasal passage, not in the blood stream. The nasal spray vaccine/viricide alpha-interferon may have promise for this reason.
VRA/AMEX Viragen
There are other promising companies right now with some trial drugs.
Cleanliness is good. Chlorine bleach is good. Limiting social contact is good. It saved many during the 1918 flu. Many stayed indoors and would not open the front door to any person to come in. It may have saved whole families.
