Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Will quarantine of Bejing work. In a word, No. This is bad.

Likewise, the screening of passengers is worthless. Why? Prodromal Corona virus becomes contagious before any symptoms show up. Also, how many feeling a bit puny will take an Advil or Tylenol and knock out any fever, temporarily. Viral infections also have fevers that wax and wain.

A healthy 22 year old girl was fine. 11 hours later she was in ICU where she suffered a heart attack. She died 3 days later.

Take care guys.

It will be here by March

Too late. Already here. A guy is in quarantine at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Washington, just north of Seattle.

“The deadly new virus spreading across Asia is far more contagious than previously feared and can be spread third-hand via a simple cough or sneeze, medics have today confirmed.

Eighteen people with the virus are now confirmed to have died and almost 600 have been infected in at least 10 countries. But experts predict the true number of cases could be as many as 10,000 as they warn it may kill as many as two in 100.”

How many does the common cold kill annually?

Just another malady in a world full of them.

Another person ill in Ca is being monitored.

Contacts of the WA case are being monitored. If any of those being monitored caught it, they could have already spread it.

If it spread that easily millions would already be infected over there. They are as thick as rats. Ed k

That patient is currently being treated by a robot in a guarded bio-containment room at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett as doctors are monitoring 16 people he came into contact with in the US during the five days before he was diagnosed.




(PS .... I’m on that Island just to the west of Everett.)

I just heard that this virus most likely originated in snakes???

Maybe ... maybe not:

“Some preliminary research that has been picked up by the Western press, including CNN, claims the virus may have been passed to humans by snakes, with the Chinese krait and the Chinese cobra the primary suspects. The many-banded krait, also known as the Taiwanese krait, and the Chinese krait, is a highly venomous species that dwells across central and southern China, and across Southeast Asia more broadly.

It's also apparently among the species of snakes that are sometimes consumed by humans.

Snakes aren't the only suspects. A team of scientists who recently published a paper in the China Science Bulletin hypothesized that the virus may have been transmitted to humans via bats. After this revelation, the Daily Star, a British tabloid, claimed that the "unknown link" between bats and humans may have been the Chinese delicacy 'bat soup'.

As evidence, the tabloid reported that footage of Wuhan residents eating the strange soup had emerged on social media over the past week. In on clip, a girl can be seen eating a bat with a pair of chopsticks during a dinner with friends.

It's unclear exactly how reliable this is, but it's worth mentioning that a grocery store identified as the source of the virus sold many strange animal products, including snakes and possibly bats.



It's also possible that the virus may have originated in the bats before being transferred to snakes, and then on to humans. A reading of the protein codes favored by the new coronavirus found that it was similar to viruses found in birds, snakes, marmots, hedgehogs, manis, bats and humans. Snakes often hunt for bats in the wild, and it's possible that a snake sold in the local seafood market in Wuhan had acquired the virus from its prey, before passing it on to a hungry human.

But those aren't the only theories. According to Reuters, Chinese government medical adviser Zhong Nanshan has also identified badgers and rats as possible culprits.”

Ebola is endemic in the fruit bars of Africa. It evidently flares up from time when fruit bat eaters get the virus when preparing them to eat or from undercooked bats.

Maybe not for long.

China has now locked down 35 million people.

Interesting note on population of China. I drove for 8 hours across the countryside. Never once was I out of sight of someone or someones. And this was the countryside. Lots of folks there.

1.2 billion people eating disease ridden bats, what could go wrong?

You gotta be pretty f'n desperate to start eating bats, rats, or cats.

Maybe that's where the term "batshixt crazy" originated. hawhaw

The San Antonio newspaper is reporting there’s a suspected case in Brazos county.

Embrace multi -culturism.

The world is past due a good kill off.

Cities are not the place to be when it happens.
