I am at Regions hospital in St Paul today getting some studies done. I was asked if I have been in contact with anyone who has traveled the last 3 weeks, not just the usual "have you traveled the last 3 weeks".

What do we actually know about this? 1.) This is a coronavirus, the same family that can give you the common cold or SARS. A coronavirus is very common in animals but only 7 known types can ingect humans (this is the 7th). 2.) It can pass form human to human, but the CDC has said its cant pass as easily as the common cold or viral pneuomonia which are highly contagious 3.) There are 317 reported cases worldwide as reported by various governments. China is thought to be underreporting the sicknesses and deaths as they did with SARS. 4.) There are 6 deaths worldwide as reported by various governments 5.) China has said it originated at a seafood market in WuHan 6.) It is very similar to SARS, its more similar to SARS then any other coronavirus 7.) It is causing pneumonia like issues in humans, however not as sever as SARS or MERS 8.) The World Health Organiztion is setting an emergency meeting for Jan 22 9.) The one US patient actually turned himself in when he became sick knowing he had traveled to Wuhan 10.) Its been noted in China, Thailand, Japan, Korea and the US |

Dr. Niman has been quite vocal on the subject of pandemics for over 20 years with much controversy.
Take this as a source data point with fairly current disease info. [Hourly] I'm not endorsing the site. We will be able to evaluate Dr. Niman's positions in the days to come. http://recombinomics.co/discover/ |

Being a new “novel" virus that has HTH transmission should make us think. If this pops off, 3M- N95/100 masks will be hot commodity. May have to stock up on Moldex.

Are these virus being weaponized??
Maybe not to kill mass numbers, but just to slow down Chinese competitors?? |

Update
China is now restricting travel to WuHan (source of the infection) and telling residents they may not leave WuHan. They also have found the source. There are 440 confirmed cases, with the origin a seafood market that "conducted illegal transactions of wild animals". |

The problem was that the medical personnel were wearing "protective clothing". i.e. at least a mask, gloves and gown, if not a complete air sealed suit! That means this may require special masks and clothing and N95 and N100 masks are no sufficient. There is special multilayered disposable anti-viral masks that medical personnel use that is available for sale but they're expensive. If its not multilayered I would not consider them safe.

Those living in the city have been advised not to leave, in a week when millions of Chinese are travelling for the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday.
The airport and train stations will be closed to outgoing passengers. Bus, subway, ferry, and long-distance transport networks will shut down from 1000 local time on 23 January. Those living in Wuhan had already been told to avoid crowds and minimise public gatherings. |

Update:
Death toll has tripled in one day to 17, infected is now up to 500. Authorities now beleive the infection is spreading through the respiratory tract meaning it is airborne. The outbreak has killed 17 people, and there are more than 500 confirmed cases.

https://virologytidbits.blogspot.com/2014/04/tamiflu-and-zanamivir-are-they.html So what is the conclusion? Both oseltamivir and zanamivir seem to offer some protection and alleviation of symptoms. The core of the problem seems however that pharmaceutical companies often withhold data from clinical studies - this however is not unique to antiviral drugs. In the end, people may realize that getting vaccinated in the first place might be the best prophylactic. Finally, more antiviral drugs need to be developed. Two recently identified promising candidates include resveratrol and epigallocatechin gallate, both plant derived polyphenols and can be found in green tea as well as red wine. Isoquercetin has been shown to prevent the formation of oseltamivir and amantadine resistant virus particles, thus being another potential antiviral drug. |
