One encouraging aspect of the
coronavirus outbreak:
So far, about 82
percent of the cases - including all 14 in the United States -
have been mild, with symptoms that require little or
no medical intervention.

And that proportion may
be an under count.
World Health
Organization expert Michael Ryan said that,
outside of Hubei
province, the virus's behavior did not seem to be as aggressive
or accelerated...
Source
Latest data indicate
that,
-
about 18% cases
are severe, of which 3% require intensive care
-
the fatalities
are mostly old patients and those with pre-existing
conditions...
Many medical personnel,
almost 2,000 are getting affected with a few deaths.
For those who study viruses, the large number of mild cases
is reason for optimism.
"This looks to be a
bad, heightened cold - I think that's a rational way of thinking
about it," said Matthew Frieman, a virologist at the University
of Maryland School of Medicine.
"Not to diminish its
importance - it's in the middle between SARS and the common
cold."
The world was almost
driven to a frenzy, and they certainly have us hanging,
are we going to have
a plague onto mankind or we witnessing viral hysterics...?
Huge economic consequences have
already manifested and will continue to do so even if we get the
all clear sirens.
As we shall see below,
pneumonia kills thousands every day, and then we have
flu deaths, which are very heavy this time of year.
The coronavirus outbreak
in China has been getting more headlines than anything yet
catastrophe is striking with many
other plagues, which are being ignored.
In relation to a cruise ship docked in Japan,
"Many people are
testing positive on the ship, but that is because we are testing
everyone on board, regardless of their medical condition," said
Shigeru Omi, the chief director of the Japan Community Health
Care Organization.
"And 70% of those
testing positive are not showing any symptoms at all."
Doctors in Hubei province
are reportedly
classing people as "definitely
infected" if they present with tell-tale symptoms, alongside a CT
scan showing a chest infection.
Covid-19's initial
symptoms are vague and flu-like, such as fever, cough and
breathlessness. This might seem a little funny to some for CT
scans do not detect viruses though they will expose the patient
to large amounts of X rays.
A
CT scan can show complications of,
pneumonia, abscesses
or pleural effusions and enlarged lymph nodes,
...but is not a
'test for viruses'...
It cannot tell the
difference between viral pneumonia and bacterial and fungus driven
pneumonia or pneumonia caused by toxic exposures.
Before this change to diagnosis, patients were confirmed via a
nucleic acid test.
Nucleic acids are
substances in living cells, making up the "NA" of DNA.
Suspected patients
had respiratory secretions tested for a specific nucleic acid
sequence known to be in the Covid-19 virus.
In the most severe cases of viral infections patients develop
pneumonia, which causes cough and breathing difficulties, as
well as a rapid heartbeat, sweating and shivering, and chest
pain.
However, it is not clear
how many of patients who are testing positive for pneumonia would
have got it anyway without any help from the coronavirus.
Why are we freaking
out so much about coronavirus, so worried that we are allowing
health officials shut down the world and kill off the world
economy because of it?
Pneumonia kills
2.56 million people a year around the world. That works
out to 7,013 people per day...
Are the health
authorities tapping into these deaths and labeling some of them
coronavirus victims?
We are jealously
counting coronavirus deaths but where is the daily counting of
pneumonia deaths or the 26,191 premature deaths from cancer
every day, are we forgetting about them too?
Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of
death in adults and children in China.
In urban areas, pneumonia
is the fourth leading cause of death, and in rural areas pneumonia
is the leading cause of death
A recent article in
the Chinese literature estimated that each year in China there
are 2.5 million patients with pneumonia and that 125,000 (5%) of
these patients die of pneumonia-related illness.
Another study (Ambient
particulate matter pollution and adult hospital admissions for
pneumonia in urban China - A national time series analysis for
2014 through 2017) said, in China more than 4.2
million pneumonia admissions were identified in 184 Chinese
cities between 2014 and 2017 probably with approximately 200,000
deaths.
You might rightly ask,
"So why hasn't
pneumonia been labeled an epidemic in China in past years?
Why hasn't the World
Health Organization, at the very least, declared a state of
emergency for China based on pneumonia?"
For U.S. adults,
pneumonia is the most common cause of hospital admissions other than
women giving birth.
About 1 million
adults in the US seek care in a hospital due to pneumonia every
year, and 50,000 die from this disease.
Pneumonia is only called
"coronavirus" if the patient is tested and the virus is discovered,
though tests cannot be depended on for accuracy of diagnosis.
With millions coming down
with pneumonia every year in China alone it tells us that there is a
gigantic pool of people with pneumonia, in China, who can be falsely
labeled "deaths from the coronavirus"...
There are other categories of illness like "lower lung infections"
and "influenza." that can be merged with pneumonia, in the rush to
diagnose people with the coronavirus.
Worse
Infections than Coronavirus Spreads Around the World
A hushed panic is playing out in hospitals around the world as a
deadly fungus is spreading.
Individual institutions,
national, state and local governments have been reluctant to
publicize outbreaks of this drug resistant infection, arguing there
is no point in scaring patients - or prospective ones, meaning they
do not want to scare patients away from going to hospitals.
Officials are still
scrambling to keep a lid on it as the infection is spreading around
the globe.
Dr. Johanna Rhodes, an infectious disease expert at Imperial
College London said,
"We are driving this
with the use of anti-fungicides on crops and we have no idea
where it's coming from. We've never heard of it. It's just
spread like wildfire."
Source
Thanks to the
over-prescription of antimicrobial drugs had also laid the
groundwork for this relatively new germ that preys on people with
weakened immune systems according to
the New York Times.
The infection - a fungus
known as
Candida Auris, kills almost
half of all patients who contract it within 90 days, according to
the CDC - as it's impervious to most major anti-fungal medications.
First described in 2009 after a 70-year-old Japanese woman showed up
at a Tokyo hospital with C. Auris in her ear canal, the
aggressive yeast infection has spread across Asia and Europe -
arriving in the US by 2016.
5G as An
Additional Etiology?
A post on
Facebook claims that,
Wuhan, China, the
center of the new coronavirus outbreak, was where 5G was first
rolled out...
It suggests that
5G has damaged peoples' immune
systems and so boosted the virulence of the common cold.
"The main implication
of the claim - that 5G can impact immune systems - is totally
unfounded. There is no evidence linking the new coronavirus to
5G."
That is the opinion of
one person that mirrors what anyone in the mainstream
would probably assume, yet we read that
Switzerland, one of the world's
leaders in the roll-out of 5G mobile technology, has
placed an indefinite moratorium on
the use of its new network because of health concerns.
Behind China's virus problem is a host of serious health problems
caused by some of the worst pollution in the world, severe
overcrowding (put too many rats together in a too small a space and
see what happens) and now the added insult of high frequency
radiation provided by 5G and you have a cocktail that still is only
killing 2 to maybe 3 percent of those affected by the coronavirus.
You will never read of people dying of pollution
or from too much sugar in the diet nor from 5G
or magnesium deficiencies...
