Mods, not sure if this needs to be moved or if this
has been already posted.

Was thinking, if this is covid-19 were there 18
prior to this one and this one happen to leak out?
Scary ...
COVID-19 is the resulting disease from the infection of SARS-COV-2. It was widely discovered in 2019, which is where the 19 comes from in that name. There are only 7 known Coronaviruses to infect humans:


Common Cold:
Serotype HUK1
Serotype NL63
Serotype OC43
Serotype 229E

The more serious that more often result in respiratory issues compared to the prior:

SARS-COV-1
MERS
SARS-COV-2

Even if all goes right will still take a long time till a vaccine is available to the public. But they are working on it.
I think more positive news should be
broadcasted than the scare tactics/news and
extreme measures propositioned that are hurting
the economy and society as a whole ...

Makes you wonder what the true agenda is .
This is on a world platform... Eyes wide open or shut?
Uncharted waters here...

Interesting at the minimal input on this positive thread vs the less positive threads.

I think it's just that this is 1 to 1.5 years out, where as the current problem is now, and people are getting tense about it, understandably.

Another ray of hope:

Researchers at the Erasmus Medical Center in Netherlands discover a human monoclonal antibody that can neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV.

https://nltimes.nl/2020/03/14/dutch-...ibodies-report

This may lead to the cure for the virus.

I just got a message from a family member
from Europe... Thought I’d share it and pass it on :

A natural remedy to treat the Coronavirus
Covid-19 if anyone is affected...
Message translated verbatim :

Good news!
Wuhan's corona virus can heal itself.
By a bowl of fresh garlic water.
The old Chinese doctor has proven his efficacy.
Many patients have also proven that they are effective.

Rehab/treatment :
take eight (8) cloves of fresh garlic , diced and minced.
add them to seven (7) cups of water and bring it to a boil.
Eat and drink the boiled garlic water/elixir ...
(Not boiling I assume) .
Improved and healed overnight...

Please share with
All your contacts that can help you save lives.

Unless one is allergic to garlic it can’t hurt.
Pretty straight forward homeopathic remedy...
While waiting for a treatment/medication if one has to wait
can this hurt? Seems pretty natural... FWIW

The WHO has addressed this rumor and there's nothing scientific to it.
Just another internet circular.

Yeah, I mean.....we hear all the time that we "almost" are at a cure for this or that within this amount of time. It rarely comes true.

Meanwhile, the negatives are here...now.....and a lot can change for the better or worse in the next 2 weeks. No vaccine is coming by then. People need to isolate for the immediate time being. What happens over the next 2 weeks means the difference between a million people needing a vaccine versus 10 million.

We seem to hear very little about the far greater majority that survive this, guess it doesn’t make good reading!

Agreed, There are lots of people getting cured...
Apples to apples the panic and pandemonium are
being blasted and propagandized as the end of the world
but the survival rate of the virus is hardly publicized ...

Sad, very sad....

Are you joking?

The accomplishments of medicine in the last four decades are beyond our wildest dreams of 40 years ago... and primarily advanced BY the IT development capability.

The US effectively defends the entire world, at little to no expense to the rest of the free world.

If we had skimped there, we would not need to worry about medicine. We'd all be China, game over, and we see how well they are handling the medical side.

I have a very close client in Italy that had a fever for 4 week and he tested positive for corona. They tried something ‘experimental’ which was the malaria and z pack. His fever broke within 2 hours. It’s been a week and he feels like a new guy. It seems to have cured him.

You are exactly right. It sad that so many citizens of first world nations take freedom for granted.

Peter Thiel and his crony Eric Weinstein agree. They lay out a compelling case here:

Ok, other than disease management what has been done? How about life expectancy in the US? What have we cured? So before you ask if I’m joking, bring some facts to the discussion here? Obesity is surging, diabetes surging, suicide surging, opiate and other addiction surging? Yes, stroke is down from the 60’s but this is due to management rather than real prevention. Also, what have we cured recently?
