  1. https://nypost.com/2020/03/05/coronavirus-patient-in-spain-reportedly-recovers-after-being-treated-with-hiv-drug/ 62-year-old man who became Spain’s first coronavirus patient is believed to have made a full recovery after being treated with an HIV drug, according to a report. Miguel Ángel Benítez was hospitalized at the Virgen del Rocio Hospital in Seville, where he received lopinavir-ritonavir, an antiretroviral drug sold under the brand name Kaletra, according to Metro UK, which cited El Pais. Don't understand why hiv drugs are healing people. Not just for this person but for lots of people.
  2. That's great on the first link lol. That's a positive. Drinking can be ok (maybe not for coronavirus)but can be bad doing it everyday. That liver needs a break. Among other stuff. Plus i'm a bad drunk told myself quitting today.
  3. haha. In Fall 2012 a new coronavirus appeared on the global public health radar. The virus has caused 17 cases of severe respiratory disease in the Middle East and Europe, and 11 of these people died. This new virus attracted immediate attention because of the high fatality rate—and because it was in the same family as the virus that caused the global outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, which sickened more than 8,000 people. A team here at the virus ecology unit at NIAID got a sample of the virus, called nCoV, from The Netherlands in November. By December they had developed an animal model to study how the virus behaved and caused illness. Now, just a few months later, they report that two antiviral drugs, ribavirin and interferon-alpha 2b, will stop nCoV from replicating in cells grown in the lab. Clearly more studies are needed to figure out whether the treatment will translate to humans, but it’s an important first step. That’s virus to treatment in about four months—pretty impressive. https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2013/04/23/promising-treatment-for-new-human-coronavirus/#comments http://en.granma.cu/mundo/2020-02-10/cuban-medication-interferon-alpha-selected-among-drugs-to-combat-coronavirus Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel noted the Chinese government's determined efforts to confront the coronavirus 2019-NCOV epidemic, with positive results now becoming evident, including the recovery of more than 1,500 patients. Díaz-Canel tweeted: "Interferon alpha 2B: Cuban drug used in China against coronavirus. Our support to the Chinese government and people in their efforts to combat the coronavirus," while noting the use of an anti-viral product from the country’s biotechnology industry. The drug, IFNrec, is one of about 30 medications selected by the Chinese National Health Commission to treat the respiratory condition and, according to statements on Cuban television by Dr. Luis Herrera Martinez, scientific and commercial advisor to the President of BioCubaFarma, its selection was based on effectiveness shown previously against viruses with characteristics similar to those of this coronavirus. "It has the advantage, in situations like these, of functioning as a protective mechanism, preventing patients from getting worse, reaching a severe stage, with death as the outcome," the specialist explained. Dr. Herrera noted that Cuba shared the technology to produce the drug some years ago, with the opening of the ChangHeber joint Chinese-Cuban facility in the town of Changchun, Jilin province. This plant makes "the same product we do,” he noted, “with exactly the same technology, meeting quality standards approved by Chinese and Cuban regulatory authorities." The Cuban embassy in China reported on its Twitter account, "The Chinese-Cuban Changheber plant in Jilin has been producing Interferon alpha (IFNrec) with the use of Cuban technology since the first day of the Lunar New Year. The Chinese Health Commission has selected our product among those used in the fight against coronavirus." February 10th cured 1,500 patients. Looks like helping everyone out. Like in 12 (year) cured. Same drug.
  4. https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/miscellaneous/is-cuban-drug-key-to-treating-coronavirus/ RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - The Cuban drug "Recombinant Interferon alfa 2b (IFNrec)" is one of 30 drugs selected to fight the coronavirus Covid-19 in China. According to media reports, it has already cured more than 1,500 patients. Since January 25th, it has been produced in the Chinese-Cuban plant Chanheber in the province of Jilin, according to the Cuban embassy in China. According to specialists, it has so far been used to treat viral infections such as HIV/AIDS, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, a respiratory tumor, and hepatitis B and C. Developed in 1986 by Cuban researchers at the . . Reading lots things online. Lots been treated by hiv drug (different drugs fight one thing off). The respiratory ( coronavirus thives on) this Cuban drug fix or fight them both. This drug makes sense now for world. Should be everywhere.
  5. If all the doctors using that drug in China. Looks like working badass with it. All countries should have it.
  6. At this point we all have to protect those over 50, those with health problems among other things. We all should help them. They are the most easy to this virus. We all should come together for them and help them out.
  7. Sorry to all last night was drunk. But this is damn numbers. Older people , people with health or immune problems or just people? L type coronavirus? https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/1236704475554988033 BREAKING: Italy reports 1,492 new cases of coronavirus and 133 new deaths, raising total to 7,375 cases and 366 dead Tracking coronavirus: Map, data and timeline - BNO News The tables below show confirmed cases of coronavirus (2019-nCoV, officially known as SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19) in China and other countries.

  8. What about the older people, those with poor immune or disabilities and other stuff. (highest death rate with this virus). They have no say in this? Jesus Christ people don't care about them. Only about politics. It's soo damn sick.
  9. This! All this post is what iv'e been seeing as well. This one as well.
  10. Right on with elderly. Know a few and help those people. Really concerned for them if spread this way. As well went too disabilities classes (went further than lots people said about me). Know those still not in the best shape. Those who are on oxygen. Those people should come first. And helped first. People should unite and help eachother. N95 if people have one should go to those in deep need. Immune system bad, elderly, disabilities people among other things those people should be helped first.
  11. Just not jumping to conclusion's like most .Not even playing a game. But if you wanna play let's do it like this. I'm the Donald Trump guy. lol
  12. The vaccine might be useless and possibly take some time. Like the flu they have to update every year cause mutate or changes it self. (Flu is a RNA) Possibly. Second part in article. Following rules can't post all info here. Antigenic Drift One way influenza viruses change is called “antigenic drift.” These are small changes (or mutations) in the genes of influenza viruses that can lead to changes in the surface proteins of the virus: HA (hemagglutinin) and NA (neuraminidase). The HA and NA surface proteins of influenza viruses are “antigens,” which means they are recognized by the immune system and are capable of triggering an immune response, including production of antibodies that can block infection. The changes associated with antigenic drift happen continually over time as the virus replicates. Most flu shots are designed to target an influenza virus’ HA surface proteins/antigens. The nasal spray flu vaccine (LAIV) targets both the HA and NA of an influenza virus. The small changes that occur from antigenic drift usually produce viruses that are closely related to one another, which can be illustrated by their location close together on a phylogenetic tree. Influenza viruses that are closely related to each other usually have similar antigenic properties. This means that antibodies your immune system creates against one influenza virus will likely recognize and respond to antigenically similar influenza viruses (this is called “cross-protection”). However, the small changes associated with antigenic drift can accumulate over time and result in viruses that are antigenically different (further away on the phylogenetic tree). It is also possible for a single (or small) change in a particularly important location on the HA to result in antigenic drift. When antigenic drift occurs, the body’s immune system may not recognize and prevent sickness caused by the newer influenza viruses. As a result, a person becomes susceptible to flu infection again, as antigenic drift has changed the virus enough that a person’s existing antibodies won’t recognize and neutralize the newer influenza viruses. Antigenic drift is the main reason why people can get the flu more than one time, and it’s also a primary reason why the flu vaccine composition must be reviewed and updated each year (as needed) to keep up with evolving influenza viruses. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/viruses/change.htm
  13. On a different topic but this is interesting. How does the issue of canine influenza apply to dogs imported into the US from other countries? https://www.cdc.gov/flu/other/canine-flu/keyfacts.html Both of these canine influenza viruses (H3N8 and H3N2), are now considered endemic in dogs in the United States. Additionally, at this time there is no evidence that canine influenza affects humans nor that it has pandemic potential. If there were evidence that canine influenza viruses were able to infect people with the potential for sustained human to human spread, CDC would execute its existing authorities to limit the introduction and/or spread of that pandemic strain either into or within the U.S. CDC regulations require that dogs be healthy to enter the United States, thus dogs may be denied entry or further evaluated if they look like they are sick with a communicable disease such as canine influenza. CDC can require a veterinary examination at the owner’s expense for dogs that appear sick, or a necropsy (animal autopsy) for dogs that are dead upon arrival in the United States. Multiple agencies may have regulatory authority over pets such as dogs and cats when they enter the United States. CDC works closely with other federal agencies to protect U.S. borders against diseases in humans that are carried by animals and animal products. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services (VS) has animal health requirementsExternal related to bringing (importing) a pet dog to the United States from a foreign country. Where did canine influenza viruses come from and how long have they been around? Canine influenza H3N8 viruses originated in horses, spread to dogs, and can now spread between dogs. H3N8 equine influenza (horse flu) viruses have been known to exist in horses for more than 40 years. In 2004, cases of an unknown respiratory illness in dogs (initially greyhounds) were reported in the United States. An investigation showed that this respiratory illness was caused by equine influenza A(H3N8) viruses. Scientists believe this virus jumped species (from horses to dogs) and has adapted to cause illness in dogs and spread among dogs, especially those housed in kennels and shelters. This is now considered a dog-specific, or canine, H3N8 virus. In September 2005, this virus was identified by experts as a “newly emerging pathogen in the dog population” in the United States. It has now been detected in dogs across much of the United States. Canine influenza H3N2 viruses originated in birds, spread to dogs, and can now spread between dogs. Transmission of H3N2 canine influenza viruses to cats from infected dogs has been reported also. Canine influenza A H3N2 viruses were first detected in dogs in South Korea in 2007, and also have been reported in dogs in China, Thailand, and Canada. H3N2 canine influenza viruses were first detected in the United States in April 2015, and has now been found in more than 30 states. To date, the H3N2 canine viruses reported in the U.S. have been almost genetically identical to canine H3N2 viruses previously reported only in Asia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_influenza Influenza A viruses are enveloped, negative sense, single-stranded RNA viruses.[9] Genome analysis has shown that H3N8 was transferred from horses to dogs and then adapted to dogs through point mutations in the genes.[10] The incubation period is two to five days, and viral shedding may occur for seven to ten days following the onset of symptoms.[11] It does not induce a persistent carrier state.
  14. Very good details on what is inside covid19 or coronavirus. Rna, protein much more info and interesting on it.
  15. Can see 3rdnlng has one of these in his home.
  16. Well i'm not going into that. Possibly people misunderstood both sides what he meant. Blah blah. Thanks very much. Have a good day. Just posting some interesting info to share with others. Glad this doesn't affect kids or babys and glad this baby is ok. Don't think so man.
  17. Ya don't think hasn't been posted here but saw that couple weeks ago. Just reminds all the other predictive programming stuff for other things in the past. Not going into that here. This is pretty interesting. More interesting info in article. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-03-05/healthy-baby-coronavirus SAN DIEGO — First, the mother and nanny were hospitalized with pneumonia, suspected of being infected with the novel coronavirus. The next day, the father fell ill with a fever and sore throat and was hospitalized too. With no one to care for him, the baby was brought to the hospital to be cared for in an isolation unit. The child — a 6-month-old boy — came to the hospital with no symptoms of COVID-19. He seemed perfectly healthy, was breathing fine and had no fever on his arrival at the hospital, medical professionals observed. But a closer examination produced a surprise: Huge amounts of the novel coronavirus were detected in the baby. The virus was found in his throat, blood and stool. Pathogens continued to be detected in the boy for the first 16 days he was at the hospital. But he never showed symptoms of the illness, apart from a single temperature reading of 101.3 degrees that fell back to normal within an hour.
  18. I'm on foxverse now https://www.foxnews.com/health/coronavirus-has-mutated-at-least-once-second-strain-detected-study Some stuff on regular flu. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/viruses/change.htm How the Flu Virus Can Change: “Drift” and “Shift” Español Influenza viruses are constantly changing. They can change in two different ways.

  19. Notice how Trump’s estimate of mortality tracks exactly with the NEJM editorial? And Rupar and others are simply telling a blatant lie about Trump saying it was okay to go to work. He doesn’t say that at all. He says people may have such mild symptoms that they go to work.Many, if not the overwhelming majority, of people acquiring coronavirus will have symptoms that are extraordinarily mild. A large number will be asymptomatic. . Yup knew that already first part. They said the spanish flu was really mild at first but mutated I guess or whatever it did. Or the second wave did most damage. But who knows i'm a doomsday support by all I guess. When just really spreading info.
  20. Spanish flu sounds really good right now.
