My Work in COVID-19
Without getting into the details...my work has thrust me into the middle of this current pandemic. As some might know, I'm an engineer working in the medical industry. Much of my work has focused on epidemiology. I know there's a lot of confusing/conflicting info (or hype) out there on this illness. Just want to share that the thing about this that I find most troubling is how contagious this is. We haven't seen anything like it in our hemisphere in my lifetime. I've pressed on some at the CDC on what I have seen as conflicts in the official narrative. Early on I said I thought this was airborne. I'd, more specifically, now say it's the more airborne flu-like illness I've ever heard of. This makes it very dangerous. I have started to reduce my time in/near crowded areas because of this. Will share some info if I can if anybody has questions. I think my kids were already exposed but didn't get this bug about a month ago. Already gone half-Galt I'm keeping a low profile. But, some of my work may be in the news soon. I'd rather this thing just die off before that, though...

So do all the precautions (washing hands well and often; sanitation surfaces, avoid crowds and touching of the face, etc.
In US, since December 30 people have died from corona virus, as of yesterday. This flu season, an annual event. as high as 34,000 have died from the flu. The media is not talking about it, and events are being cancelled, etc.every flu season Maybe it's just because it's only the flu, eh? As for me and my family, we'll take the prudent precautions, but I'm not going to join the panic others are experiencing. Whenever I start getting sucked in, I turn off the news for a while.
Seems to me that the United Nations' WHO declares a pandemic and more funds gets assigned to it. Like someone we know said, never let a good crisis go to waste.
The CDC director who has been at CDC for many years says we are not as prepared as we should have been. Well, why not. Who's fault would that be since he was in charge. If I were Trump, I'd say "You're fired" and replace him immediately.
Perhaps cynicism is creeping in as a grow older.
THIS is the single best advice. Vitamin D, C
and ZINC (Bill Still has a video showing that Zinc stops this thing from replicating, and a specific drug helps the cells let the Zinc in. China is HIDING this after figuring it out. LMAO, we cannot trust them folks)
Honestly, we can't say enough about a healthy diet, exercise and sufficient rest. I'm not getting nearly enough rest lately and that's not good...

"... tests conducted by scientists from several major institutions indicated that the novel form of coronavirus behind a worldwide outbreak can survive in the air for several hours.
"A study awaiting peer review from scientists at Princeton University, the University of California-Los Angeles and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) posted online Wednesday indicated that the COVID-19 virus could remain viable in the air 'up to 3 hours post aerosolization,' while remaining alive on plastic and other surfaces for up to three days.
" 'Our results indicate that aerosol and fomite transmission of HCoV-19 is plausible, as the virus can remain viable in aerosols for multiple hours and on surfaces up to days', reads the study's abstract.
"The test results suggest that humans could be infected by the disease simply carried through the air or on a solid surface, even if direct contact with an infected person does not occur..."

Washing hands?...make sure your water is 100 degrees...that is what kills the virus, not the soap.
Here is something else:
Interesting connection I just made.
Why did the UN change Agenda 21 to Agenda 2030?
Now...read what was predicted in 08...and was predicted 40 yrs before that!

As someone with more insight to the epidemic than most, what is your informed prediction how bad it will get before it gets better?
Will it get any better?
My take has been that by the numbers it is not even close to H1N1.
As you said, being airborne makes it very dangerous and that is why it's exponentially difficult to contain.
People's movements must be curtailed. Some victims were frequent travelers: did they consider what the consequences will be?
Although I am not particularly concerned about myself, as I haven't been sick enough to go to the doctor in over five years (my point being that I likely will recover okay if I get it), my husband can't even recover from a common cold without help. I am very concerned about him.
Anyway back to the point: thanks for letting us know you have some insight. And given that so many of us are over that "magical" age of 70, including myself, we can probably use all the help we can get!
