Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[InVOLuntary]

400 deaths in the US yesterday. Curve is still exponential in the upward trajectory.

A friend sent me this info. Hope you all stay safe and healthy.

​

I received this information today. I hope it helps answer your question comparing the coronavirus to the flu.​

​

Please Read....​

​

From -JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL:​

​

Very informative.​

​

The following is from Irene Ken physician, whose daughter is an Asst. Prof in infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins University, quite informative.​

​

* The virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule (DNA) covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of the ocular, nasal or buccal mucosa, changes their genetic code. (mutation) and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.​

​

* Since the virus is not a living organism but a protein molecule, it is not killed, but decays on its own. The disintegration time depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.​

​

* The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin outer layer of fat. That is why any soap or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam CUTS the FAT (that is why you have to rub so much: for 20 seconds or more, to make a lot of foam).​

​

By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own.​

​

* HEAT melts fat; this is why it is so good to use water above 25 degrees Celsius for washing hands, clothes and everything. In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes it even more useful.​

​

* Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially the external lipid layer of the virus.​

​

* Any mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside.​

​

* Oxygenated water helps long after soap, alcohol and chlorine, because peroxide dissolves the virus protein, but you have to use it pure and it hurts your skin.​

​

* NO BACTERICIDE OR ANTIBIOTIC SERVES. The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; antibodies cannot kill what is not alive.​

​

* NEVER shake used or unused clothing, sheets or cloth. While it is glued to a porous surface, it is very inert and disintegrates only​

-between 3 hours (fabric and porous),​

-4 hours (copper and wood)​

-24 hours (cardboard),​

- 42 hours (metal) and​

-72 hours (plastic).​

​

But if you shake it or use a feather duster, the virus molecules float in the air for up to 3 hours, and can lodge in your nose.​

​

* The virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial as air conditioners in houses and cars.​

​

They also need moisture to stay stable, and especially darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.​

​

* UV LIGHT on any object that may contain it breaks down the virus protein. For example, to disinfect and reuse a mask is perfect. Be careful, it also breaks down collagen (which is protein) in the skin.​

​

* The virus CANNOT go through healthy skin.​

​

* Vinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down the protective layer of fat.​

​

* NO SPIRITS, NOR VODKA, serve. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65%.​

​

* LISTERINE IF IT SERVES! It is 65% alcohol.​

​

* The more confined the space, the more concentration of the virus there can be. The more open or naturally ventilated, the less.​

​

* You have to wash your hands before and after touching mucosa, food, locks, knobs, switches, remote control, cell phone, watches, computers, desks, TV, etc. And when using the bathroom.​

​

* You have to HUMIDIFY HANDS DRY from so much washing them, because the molecules can hide in the micro cracks. The thicker the moisturizer, the better.​

​

* Also keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not hide there.​

Damn physchos, Cuomo even said yesterday there wasn't a shortage of ventilators but they needed more just in case it gets bad

Well, you and Trump are on record saying you don't think he needs what he projects may be necessary.

And Cuomo is a psycho for planning ahead?

Do you think hospitals have enough protective equipment and there is ample supply, or is there a critical shortage?

 

[BowlBrother85]

I see where Fox Business has given Trish Regan the boot over her paranoid rant from 3 weeks ago. She had dismissed the coronavirus as an "impeachment scam".

 

[Roustabout]

Damn physchos, Cuomo even said yesterday there wasn't a shortage of ventilators but they needed more just in case it gets bad

Actually what he said is that we should send all the extra ventilators to NY and then they’ll give them to others when they are done. Paraphrasing, but this is pretty much it.

He is a huge d-bag


Trump Says He Told Pence to Ignore Governors in Hard-Hit Areas If They Are ‘Not Appreciative’

Headline is not accurate.

 

[Purple Tiger]

Headline is not accurate.

What should it say? Are you saying Trump didn't make this inference?

 

[evillawyer]

Headline is not accurate.

Seems pretty accurate to me.

 

[hog88]

What should it say? Are you saying Trump didn't make this inference?

Headline should accurately quote him.

 

[Purple Tiger]

Seems pretty accurate to me.

It is.

 

[hog88]

Seems pretty accurate to me.

He calls all the governors,” Trump said. “I tell him, I mean, I’m a different type of person. I say Mike, don’t call the governor of Washington, you’re wasting your time with him. Don’t call the woman in Michigan.”
“If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call,” Trump said.

 

[Stew Cook]

Seems pretty accurate to me.

Maybe it failed to capture the full animus of Trump's prior statements directed at those governors.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Headline is not accurate.

Donald Trump's quotes, which were cited in the article:

"He calls all the governors," Trump said. "I tell him, I mean, I'm a different type of person. I say Mike, don't call the governor of Washington, you're wasting your time with him. Don't call the woman in Michigan." Then... "If they don't treat you right, I don't call," Trump said. Also, "We have done a hell of a job," Trump said. "The federal government has really stepped up." And finally, Trump's message to governors was that he wants "them to be appreciative."

Trump is inarticulate, with a limited vocabulary and clumsy mannerisms. Therefore, it's not always easy to capture what he is trying to convey in a headline, but in this case, his quotes are consistent with the headline that was chosen.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Headline should accurately quote him.

It was a paraphrase of what Trump had said. You are nitpicking.

 

[hog88]

So nitpicking is no longer allowed? If so what will you post?

 

[Purple Tiger]

Headline should accurately quote him.

Who are you, Ben Bradlee? Headlines do not have to be direct quotes.

 

[hog88]

Who are you, Ben Bradlee? Headlines do not have to be direct quotes.

I guess you’re right. If they were accurate and not sensationalized they would get less hits.

Oh boo hoo. Muh Trump.

Trump speaks words. Forms few actual sentences. Conveys debatable message.

It’s perfect. It’s accurate. It’s reusable.

You are using paraphrasing to complain about nitpicking ?

 

[Rickyvol77]

Threat or promise?

Exactly how would we ever live without the meth heads and coal miners coming down to use our healthcare and steal our cars

LOL .. Orange Man Bad .

Looks like the stimulus bill is already headed to the courts.

Do you think hospitals have enough protective equipment and there is ample supply, or is there a critical shortage?

Cuomo admitted there is a stockpile of ventilators in NY that has not begun being distributed to hospitals because the hospitals haven’t requested any yet.

The annual production of ventilators in the U.S. is 30,000 units.

Publicly saying 30,000 additional ventilators are needed for NY in 21 days is not planning ahead - it’s playing politics.

 

[volfanhill]

Headline is not accurate.

Let me re-write it:

“Trump advises leader of coronavirus task force to not call states whose Governors are mean to him”
