20200125: Coronavirus

The details of the Coronavirus are sketchy and unreliable, which is why I avoided posting a thread. None of us want to spread bad information, and we don’t want to OVERreact and spread hysteria. The problem with this issue is, that as fast as the disease is spreading, so is the bad information. Thus, this thread. Perhaps we can sort fact from fiction within this forum.

Most of the reporting refers to various provinces of China (like our states). This map might be helpful as a reference.

The South China Morning Post is an outlet many of us follow. They are tracking the story closely. I counted a total of 25 stories about Coronavirus on their main page this morning. Here is their link: https://www.scmp.com/news/china

We know the US Senate has been briefed on the virus. Here is the President’s latest tweet:

This video is from a BBC reporter crossing a checkpoint in Henan (on the interior). He had his temperature checked before crossing the border.

Dr Eric Feigl-Ding, Harvard PhD in Epidemiology, and youngest dual PhD from Harvard SPH, has a thread which explains the contagen and the virality of spread, which scientists characerize as an RO factor. What is the typical R0 attack rate for the seasonal flu in most years? It’s around an R0=1.28. The 2009 flu pandemic? R0=1.48. The 1918 Spanish Flu? 1.80. This new #WuhanCoronavirus reproductive value again? R0=3.8 Reference for the typical spread rate of seasonal flu is found here: https://bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2334-14-480 and the model for the Coronavirus is found here: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.23.20018549v1 Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding is alarmed by the high rate of spread for this virus.

PLEASE understand, the above thread is alarming………..!!!!!!! Kyle Bass, the hedge fund guy who has specialized in China for decades responds to the info posted by Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding (above) as follows:

If we think of the Coronavirus as a super version of a common cold, then we should make sure to wash hands, doorknobs, switchplates, cover mouth and nose when sneezing, ……. and don’t eat partially cooked bat soup from China. NOTE: The CDC in the USA has changed their position and is specifically NOT confirming the source of the disease as the Wet Animal Market in Wuhan. The CDC has yet to determine the source of this disease.

Within this thread, please dump your comments and theories, videos and links. Perhaps together, we can all get closer to the truth.

It’s time for some OFFENSE! Beginning 10:00AM Eastern time from the Senate. Tune in!

OFFENSE in DEFENSE of the President. Finally, the President will be able to defend himself to the public against these spurious charges. The eight gifted attorneys in the header above will be seen in the Senate. You may see the eight House members below, the Fire-Breathers, drifting all over the media.

Since August 28th, the Politico Article by Natasha Bertrand (which we suspect was planted by Schiff’s staff), the Dems have hammered the President, turning the narrative of funding to Ukraine into a “Trump personal gain for the election of 2020” and therefore scurrilous and impeachable. The Dems impeached the President in 78days, when Clinton and Nixon both took years to resolve (because of all the appeals). The Dems claim they have overwhelming evidence, but need more witnesses, more information, and AN ACTUAL CRIME would help the Dems case. Yet, they cannot wait for proper procedure and appeals on subpoenas…… because the voters may re-elect the President……… and that cannot happen…… according to the Dems.

Yet, after months of conducting secret depositions in the basement and made-for-television hearings in the House, fervently pushed by mass media, the public still does not want the President removed. To be clear, if this was a real trial, it would be as if the Prosecutor was on the field for FIVE MONTHS……. with no telling of the other side of the story…… and the Dems still can’t convince the jury, which is us. The President is entitled to a defense, his side of the story has yet to be told. We can assume the President’s defense will be hefty and persuasive.

Within the movie we are watching, there are a few Senators who are targeted as “moderate”, which the Dems have been trying to harangue. Lisa Murkowski, Collins, Romney, and Lamar Alexander. When Congressman Nadler accused the Repub Senators of a cover up if they did not vote for more witnesses, Susan Collins was so upset she wrote a note to the Chief Justice Roberts. Strike One.

Well, this evening, Schiff lost Murkowski. Schiff made a comment that Repubs in the Senate had been warned if they voted against the President “their head would be on a pike”. Lisa was NOT amused. The Repubs are furious, and the media darling, Schiff, is in big trouble for making a fatal error, over playing his hand. Strike Two.

Barrasso speaking to the cameras, and reported by the New York Times, Emily Cochrane (above) might as well be Strike 3

If you are on Twitter, please follow Congressman Andy Biggs. His twitter feed is extraordinary. He is obsessed with the subject of impeachment (and strongly defending the President). His twitter feed is pushing out info on the impeachment about every 20 minutes to an hour (He’s like I was with Davos).

Here is the transcript to the President’s phone call with President Zelinsky: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdf

Here is the link for the Whistleblower Complaint. Both may come in handy tomorrow: https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/20190812_-_whistleblower_complaint_unclass.pdf

Jay Sekulow talks about what to expect tomorrow and mentions Nellie Ohr and Fusion GPS.

See you tomorrow! 10:00am Eastern! Don’t be late.

Let’s meet at the old saw mill………. and ride!

……Of the North-Church-tower, as a signal-light,—
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country-folk to be up and to arm…..

Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful:
Header Image: Is a view of a gigantic Tree that dwarfs everything around it. Even though it is in the distance, it still looks huge. There are outcroppings of it’s bark that form ledges and there appear to be tiny figures on one of the ledges, headed for an opening in the massive trunk. A few gnarled outgrowths that may be roots are growing out of the trunk, with a large one growing down into the ground, perhaps serving as a support.
Second Image: A stone pathway leads up to tall double doors, built into the side of an enormous tree trunk. The doors are arched and covered in ornate carvings. There are a few small points of light in the doors, giving off a slight blue glow. Rays of sunlight illuminate the path in front of the doors.
Third Image: Is an open-sided room with a view of treetops. There is a warm glow coming from a wood-burning stove and a comfy looking couch. Nearby is a rustic table and chair, a bed covered in fluffy fur throws and a hot tub in the corner overlooking the mountain vistas. A large tree trunk and branches support the rustic ceiling…and tree branches form the railing along the side deck.
Fourth Image: President Trump has his back to us and is facing a gaggle of press curs across the lawn. He is holding up his right hand at shoulder level and making a fist…perhaps a signal that he is going in.

Their Scampeachment Schitt Show will be an epic fail.
