  1. Looks like someone hasn't been researching any info.....
  2. Pope possibly sick? Unsure what he has.. Hope he is ok.......
  3. His past scares for Pence. n late 2014, health officials belatedly became aware of an HIV outbreak in Scott County, Indiana. With fewer than 24,000 people, this rural county rarely saw a single new case in a year, according to The New York Times. But by the time government agencies tried to stop the transmission of the virus a few months later, some 215 people had tested positive. One man seemed responsible for needlessly letting the situation get out of control: Indiana’s then-Governor Mike Pence. In 2015, when the virus was seeming to rapidly move through networks of people who use intravenous drugs, even the reluctant local sheriff encouraged the governor to authorize a clean-needle exchange, a proven tool to reduce such an outbreak. But, as the Times reported when he became Donald Trump’s running mate, “Mr. Pence, a steadfast conservative, was morally opposed to needle exchanges on the grounds that they supported drug abuse.” His opposition was based on an incorrect belief; while research has long shown that needle exchanges do reduce HIV and hepatitis, it has also shown that they do not encourage drug use. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/mike-pence-is-still-to-blame-for-an-hiv-outbreak-in-indiana-but-for-new-reasons/ https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/10/4/13164074/mike-pence-smoking-tobacco Mike Pence, the governor of Indiana and Donald Trump's running mate, is nobody’s idea of a moderate. This is, after all, the guy who signed a bill into law mandating funerals for aborted fetuses and who compared the Supreme Court’s ruling on Obamacare to the 9/11 attacks. But perhaps his most dangerous stance has to do with tobacco. In a 2000 op-ed, posted on his personal webpage and unearthed by BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski, Pence brazenly declared, “Smoking does not kill”: This paragraph is a veritable maze of contradictions. First, Pence asserts that smoking doesn’t kill. To back this up, he bafflingly concedes that a huge fraction of smokers — one in three! — die from smoking-related illnesses, a fact that a casual observer could be forgiven for interpreting as proof that smoking does, in fact, kill, and kills a lot of people at that. (Only one problem: Subsequent research has found that two out of three smokers die from a smoking-related illness — not one in three, as Pence insisted.) “This is not to say that smoking is good for you.... news flash: smoking is not good for you,” Pence adds. But wait — I thought smoking didn’t kill? If smoking has other, nonlethal health outcomes, Pence does not mention them in this piece. He proceeds, instead, to argue that the evils of tobacco do not compare in scale to the evils of big government.
  4. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/475701-trump-rails-against-windmills-i-never-understood-wind President Trump lashed out again at wind farms on Saturday, claiming that the production of wind turbines causes a large carbon footprint. During a speech to the conservative student group Turning Point USA, Trump told attendees that he "never understood" the allure of wind power plants, according to a report from Mediaite. “I never understood wind,” Trump said, according to Mediaite. “I know windmills very much, I have studied it better than anybody. I know it is very expensive. They are made in China and Germany mostly, very few made here, almost none, but they are manufactured, tremendous — if you are into this — tremendous fumes and gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right?” “So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint, fumes are spewing into the air, right spewing, whether it is China or Germany, is going into the air,” the president added. We got a idiot as president. Who cut lots of funds to the CDC, Who, some paramedic teams. Said coronavirus would fall off before April or whatever. Never does anything proactive. Hopefully next person has a clue know how to run things or do things.
  5. Know what you mean. But hipaa another part of his video. Like if someone gets it some place in the USA hipaa law info and stuff..... But if someone gets crona virus. Hipaa lawcomes into effect? But if you want explain this to me better. Thinking possibly have a understand of hipaa. https://evisit.com/resources/what-is-hipaa/ The Health Insurance Portability And Accountability Act (HIPAA) was signed into law in the year 1996, by President Bill Clinton. It is a legislation which provides security provisions and data privacy, in order to keep patients’ medical information safe. The act contains five titles, or sections, in total: HIPAA Title I aims to protect coverage of health insurance for those who have changed or lost their jobs. It prevents group health plans from refusing to cover individuals who have pre-existing diseases or conditions, and prohibits them from setting limits for lifetime coverage. HIPAA Title II aims to direct the United States Department Of Human Services and Health in order to standardize the processing of electronic healthcare transactions nation-wide. It requires the organizations to implement safe electronic access to the patients’ health data, remaining in compliance with the privacy regulations which were set by the HHS. HIPAA Title III is related to provisions which are tax-related, as well as general medical care guidelines. HIPAA Title IV defines a further reform in health insurance, including provisions for those who have pre-existing diseases or conditions, and individuals who are seeking continued coverage.
  6. This guy is pretty solid in his info.
  7. Maybe for coronavirus. https://nypost.com/2020/02/22/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/?utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=SocialFlow&__twitter_impression=true&__twitter_impression=true Add to this China’s history of similar incidents. Even the deadly SARS virus has escaped — twice — from the Beijing lab where it was — and probably is — being used in experiments. Both “man-made” epidemics were quickly contained, but neither would have happened at all if proper safety precautions had been taken. And then there is this little-known fact: Some Chinese researchers are in the habit of selling their laboratory animals to street vendors after they have finished experimenting on them. You heard me right. Instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law requires, they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash. Or, in some cases, a lot of extra cash. One Beijing researcher, now in jail, made a million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market, where they eventually wound up in someone’s stomach. This last part is sick and awful!!!! Holy swear words and soo stupid.... What is wrong with these people?
  8. Lots Incubation period can be 24 days or some cases 41 days.......
  9. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/21/coronavirus-latest-updates-chinas-hubei-reports-115-additional-deaths.html KEY POINTS China’s National Health Commission said altogether, there had been a total of 75,465 confirmed cases reported and 2,236 people have died. South Korea has become one of the worst affected places outside mainland China, reporting 52 new cases, bringing national tally over 150. South Korea numbers spiking up. Sadly
  10. 99 more cases on the Cruise Ship today. They should get everyone off that ship...
  11. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/02/here-is-what-coronavirus-does-to-the-body/ Very good read. The Lungs: Ground zero For most patients, COVID-19 begins and ends in their lungs, because like the flu, coronaviruses are respiratory diseases. They spread typically when an infected person coughs or sneezes, spraying droplets that can transmit the virus to anyone in close contact. Coronaviruses also cause flu-like symptoms: Patients might start out with a fever and cough that progresses to pneumonia or worse. After the SARS outbreak, the World Health Organization reported that the disease typically attacked the lungs in three phases: viral replication, immune hyper-reactivity, and pulmonary destruction. Not all patients went through all three phases—in fact only 25 percent of SARS patients suffered respiratory failure, the defining signature of severe cases. Likewise, COVID-19, according to early data, causes milder symptoms in about 82 percent of cases, while the remainder are severe or critical. Look deeper, and the novel coronavirus appears to follow other patterns of SARS, says University of Maryland School of Medicine associate professor Matthew B. Frieman, who studies highly pathogenic coronaviruses. Medical staff members hugging each other in an isolation ward at a hospital in Zouping in China's easter Shandong Province. In the early days of an infection, the novel coronavirus rapidly invades human lung cells. Those lung cells come in two classes: ones that make mucus and ones with hair-like batons called cilia. Mucus, though gross when outside the body, helps protect lung tissue from pathogens and make sure your breathing organ doesn’t dry out. The cilia cells beat around the mucus, clearing out debris like pollen or viruses. Frieman explains that SARS loved to infect and kill cilia cells, which then sloughed off and filled patients’ airways with debris and fluids, and he hypothesizes that the same is happening with the novel coronavirus. That’s because the earliest studies on COVID-19 have shown that many patients develop pneumonia in both lungs, accompanied by symptoms like shortness of breath. Lots more info in article.
  12. Numbers sadly spiked up in China real bad today https://twitter.com/chrisschmitz/status/1227754197719879685/photo/1 I wonder the WHO taking over real numbers now over China since numbers increased big time today
  13. For Coronavirus numbers could spike up now possibly. It's a virus starts off slow then hits you badly. The virus can hide well under the lungs. As well as travels. Read something that 1 person infected 18 people in 2 hours. That's crazy.
  14. https://www.theepochtimes.com/coronavirus-patients-may-not-show-symptoms-for-over-3-weeks-study-says_3233985.html The incubation period for the new coronavirus can be as long as 24 days, according to the largest-study yet analyzing patients of the disease. The Feb. 9 study, which has yet to be peer-reviewed, was led by renowned Chinese respiratory doctor Zhong Nanshan and written in collaboration between 37 Chinese researchers. It analyzed around 1,100 patients across 31 provinces and 552 hospitals, and found that the median incubation period is 3 days, lower than a previous estimate of 5.2 days. The maximum incubation period is 24 days, it found—up from two weeks as previously projected. The researchers also could not exclude the possibility of super-spreaders—a sick individual who can infect a large number of others. Rapid Human-to-Human Transmission The study also found further evidence of human-to-human transmission: around 160 people—26 percent of non-Wuhan residents—did not travel to Wuhan recently prior to contracting the virus, nor did they have any contact with Wuhan locals. “The 2019-nCoV epidemic spreads rapidly by human-to-human transmission,” it concluded.
  15. China possibly not giving out real numbers.
  16. If Goodell wants to fork lots of money. Well build it or you if not stop talking nonsense idiot,
  17. Right on. These guys even McCoy not process players. Lot's of players play hurt. Don't give a rats behind about Watkins. Even tho Marrone is a jerk.
