I'm a microbiologist, (bacteriology) ask me whatever you want.

but I'v seen the hemorrhaging in the videos...haven't you? look at 55 seconds in (this is one of the more noticeable hemorrhaging examples)

thats a good question, i like the thinking here, i think corona viruses are dangerous to cats also.

That makes total sense, im loosely aware of angiotensin, my immunology is real rusty too these days.

But something targeting its attachment would be a good cure/prevention as i alluded. Ill have to read up on that mechanism and its simularity to the SARs mechanism.

You are obviously legit. I believe you. I have a degree in biochemistry and would also have one in cellular biology if I had taken just one additional credit of field biology lab. Started my career 30 years ago in public health, including having our own micro' lab and doing epidemiology. I also believe Dr. Fiegl-Ding's warnings. This one is different and has great potential for pandemic. Many more are going to become ill and at least 3% are going die. I left my office within 30 minutes of the confirmed case in Seattle to buy surgical masks at Walgreens in case me or my employees need them. They had about 100 in stock. I bought 75.

Without going off on a tangent, i never bought the idea that HIV wasnt introduced into humans by way of using simian kidneys as growth medium for polio vaccine culture in the 50s in africa.

It was said by reputable accademics that it was a conspiracy theory and disproven, but i 100% think big pharma fucked up and accidentally introduced simian immunodeficiency virus into humans, i cant prove that at all and it is speculation but i guess they'd be on the hook for billions in compensation, it would be worse than the tobacco companies liability.

For anybody not familiar with what im talking about, there were research papers (that were later disproven) that suggested that HIV started because a vaccination program in africa in the 50s used monkey kidneys to culture polio vaccine, it was speculatin these monkey kidneys contained SIV the monkey version of hiv, and thats how HIV started in people.

First of all, just to be a total douche, a BMW car is called a "Bimmer" not a beamer, that's the motorcycle. I know this because I read it somewhere and now I'm stuck with that douchey knowledge in my head.

Now, does it count? Hard to say, but it might, depends on what Doc neighbor thinks. Does kinda sound like he's got more serious than normal though, top up with jibe with that.

What's your endgame OP. We we are Fragged why not just come out and say it.

we are all going to need jesus if this keeps spreading, locusts are causing havoc in africa too right now, its enough to make anybody question if they have enough faith.

Because i dont know, im trying to remain open minded and cynical and just hope this isnt a big deal, the way i worried about the ebola outbreak being a potential shitstorm.

Its making me nervous though, we find out soon how big of a shitstorm this is going to be.

The WHO has released stats on this virus strain, can you interpret them for us.
How long does the virus survive outside the host?
Is the main conduit the eyes.
Is there a secondary more dangerous component , after flu symptoms subside.
What is the exact incubation period.
Thanks.

cant believe that guy used to play heavy gauge strings like 11's and 12's, shame he died.

One thing about chinese that makes it possibly different than here, They SHARE meals from a single plate in many instances.. They will make beautiful plates of different types, typically have a soup bowl of their own, but will pick up items off a single plate with chopsticks, and even place items into someone else's soup bowl, like for the elderly.

The chinese have a fucking disgusting diet too.

No matter how beautiful you make the plate of dog look, it's still an obscenity, a gross abomination.

Then all those live sea things...snakes...birds nests...bird spit...and of course bats, just about the most disease ridden mammal ever...

The chinese need to get their act together in oh so many ways.

I think its a three way tie between the Chinese, Hindus, and the Pakis as the grand masters of dirty, filthy, disease ridden scum.

I am a lab tech. I work in a microbiology lab.
That doesn’t make me a fucking microbiologist
You are probably just a bench tech that plates throat swabs and shit

With your knowledge, what would you recommend to prepare for this possible shit storm?

I'm out for todays guys, its getting late. Ill check back in tomorrow and see what has changed, hopefully we will get some trustworthy info on suspected spread/cases.

I'm hearing confirmed cases is 1975 right now as of 1am, GMT.

Why is no one talking about this ;

The best way to "beat" any bacteria or virus is to simply have a healthy immune system. All this talk of special nutrition and or exotic cures is just bull crap.

The human body is amazing, and can defeat anything thrown at it...if you are healthy and get plenty of sleep.

This includes everything from cancer to the common cold.

But, there is another crucial step to make this work. You need to catch a very low 'dose' of the intruder and then get plenty of sleep and water. Rest will cure a tremendous amount of ailments of this type. While sleeping, the body can battle the intruders, and with unknown invaders, it will take a little time to figure out how to kill this unique infiltrator.

The problem is, in modern society, people don't have enough time to sleep through an invasion. Jobs, family, and other needs force us to get up and therefore not be in bed. And when I suggest being in bed and/or asleep...I mean for a week; possibly more. Do that, and your immune system will figure out how to kill the intruder and from then on it will be easy to defeat that particular attack.

Rest, sleep, and water + a catching a low dose of the invasion works, but a sudden heavy dose of infection will overwhelm the immune system.

I guess on this thread we all have our ideas on how to deal with the common cold, because that is what this is, a super-charged common cold. The very young and elderly will have trouble. Everyone who is working too hard will have trouble. But just watch, some people will have no problem. Why?

Best home remedies for neutralizing cytokine storm...?

Theive's oil (mixture)? Other oils? Heavy dosage of Vitamin C serum?

Something else...?

TIA...
