Corona / Wuhan virus

Ahh! I've been telling my family and a few friends for 2 weeks that Ni ( Spidey :yum: )says there is a special genetic connection between Italians and the coronavirus..

Since I'm 50% Sicilian I was really watching this. In reality it looked like a bad connection.. as if there was a genetic factor that made Italians particularly susceptible to the virus and its most severe effects. But that also means there must be a genetic tie to the vaccine, conversely... or so my weirdo brain said.

Here are a few of the first things that pulled.

I think it is important to note that there is only one virus that has been eradicated. . polio. . the chances of that happening with covid-19 re somewhere between slim and none. remember we have a flu vaccine, yet people die of the flu. so all the hype about vaccine is pissing in the wind. As with HIV, prevention is the key, and no, there is no vaccine for HIV. . it's just harder to catch and we have treatments for it, yet people are still dying from it. . prevention is the best treatment, and will be for a very long time, I dont give a fuck what the government says, there will not be a vaccine

Kind of how the US has a cure for Hepatitis C, but the medication is so expensive that it continues to infect people and people continue to die - needlessly.
Well, I shouldn't say needlessly, the drug manufacturers need to gouge more people over their lifetimes.
Scum.
Money has shown itself to be far more important than the health of our society.
 
Here are your morning dystopian headlines....

Like watching a slow-motion train crash full of people...
The fact that the government and the President's main focus has been on the economy and propping up the big banks instead of saving people is pretty clear to see.
It's time for some REAL change in the country.
Enough of this gouging of the sick and dying nonsense.
It's unconscionable.
Time to get rid of the "for-profit" part of healthcare.
Time to rebuild the social safety net...not only in healthcare but elsewhere.
They say people should have 6 months of money saved, but most people can barely make it from paycheck to paycheck.
Companies fight tooth and nail against attempts to earn "a living wage" so the workers certainly don't have the money to save for a rainy day.
Not to mention the insane cost of healthcare in general...then factor in the insane cost of rent, etc.
Greed put us in this situation...it's high time we cut those psychopaths out.

I've been asking and looking for the key as to ...Why?

Why did he decide to disband it? There is plenty of previous out breaks of mass illness just in the past 20 years to prove it warranted to keep such a team on standby.

Beginning with 2016 data, expected to be published in November 2017, the introductory information in the front of the MMWR Summary report (from the Preface to the Revised International Health Regulations) will be available on the NNDSS Data and Statistics page at https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/data-and-statistics.html. In addition, the redesigned page will provide links to Tables 1–7 available in HTML, text, and PDF formats and hosted on the CDC Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) platform.

So my question is, why now, during his term was this group pulled out of service in July 2018, and a world wide pandemic occurs December 2019? Or, did it start much earlier than that ... like in 2018-2019 and it's just now doing it's thing ???

In the fall of 2019 to January 2020, many nations are reporting that the incidences of pneumonia and hospital stays for upper respiratory infections were higher than previous years.

Coincidence ??? Perhaps not.

Russia is finally reporting their numbers. They did not dodge the bulkey after all...

To be fair the pandemic response team, and the CDC in general has been losing funding for years, even before Trump.
However it was Trump who really cut the funding and shut down whole areas of the organization.
 

"You can call it a germ. You can call it a flu. You can call it a virus.
You can call it many different names. I'm not sure anybody even knows what it is."

Wow, sorry...there is just a slew of fucked up headlines...


Trump says he told Pence not to call governors who aren’t ‘appreciative’ of White House coronavirus efforts​



    • President Donald Trump said Friday that he instructed Vice President Mike Pence not to reach out to governors who aren’t “appreciative” of his administration’s efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus in their states.​
    • The president mentioned Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, both Democrats who have been critical of the White House’s actions to combat the deadly pandemic.​
    • Trump said that Pence “calls all the governors. And I tell him, I’m a different type of person, and I say, ’Mike, don’t call the governor of Washington. you’re wasting your time with him.”​
