Hey, has anyone asked the open border crowd what they think of all these countries closing their borders to China? Isn't that rayyyyycist?

 

 

Nah, it's only raysis for our resident evil actual literal super mecha-Nazi and white supremecist President Trump to close the US border to the Chinese.

Cross reference what was going on in the streets of Hong Hong, and what the world was looking at in terms of a more open China, and the international pressures being placed on them prior to the introduction of coronavirus; and now.

 

Now the world is backing away from China, the streets of Hong Kong are empty, videos are regularly emerging of people who do not appear sick being forced into custody, with what appear to be concentration camps rapidly being built.

 

I believe it's real, but that it's a man-made biological weapon that the CPP released it on it's own population in order to quell the uprising, and to kill off the poorer population which it's economy cannot afford to provide for.

 

I also suspect it was bio-engineered.  However i don't think it was released intentionally.  I think they just lost containment

 

Curious if anyone has seen HBOs Chernobyl series or are familiar with the historical events.  The severity of the reactor explosion was dismissed early on because the bureaucrats installed by The Communist Party did not want to lose position within the Party.  The explosion was denied to the outside world and when unable to cover it up anymore, the severity was covered up because The USSR did not want to admit to the world that Soviet nuclear technology was flawed and inferior to the West.

 

I think something similar is happening in China

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.

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.
