Now it's time for the antibody testing.

Stanford tested 3,200 people over the weekend for anti-bodies. I want to know where I can go to get one done.

Plans were actually in place nationally and in California for epidemic response but were dropped by subsequent administrations. You can always count on human beings making mistakes.

Reason? Too costly and other needs held to be a priority.

"California actually *did* have an emergency medical stockpile—until Gov. Jerry Brown dismantled it...50 million N95 respirators, 2,400 portable ventilators and mobile hospital kits to set up 21,000 additional patient beds wherever they were needed."

In the summer of 2005, President George W. Bush was on vacation at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, when he began flipping through an advanced copy of a new book about the 1918 flu pandemic. He couldn't put it down.
When he returned to Washington, he called his top homeland security adviser into the Oval Office and gave her the galley of historian John M. Barry's "The Great Influenza," which told the chilling tale of the mysterious plague that "would kill more people than the outbreak of any other disease in human history."
"You've got to read this," Fran Townsend remembers the president telling her. "He said, 'Look, this happens every 100 years. We need a national strategy.'"


Thus was born the nation's most comprehensive pandemic plan -- a playbook that included diagrams for a global early warning system, funding to develop new, rapid vaccine technology, and a robust national stockpile of critical supplies, such as face masks and ventilators, Townsend said.
The effort was intense over the ensuing three years, including exercises where cabinet officials gamed out their responses, but it was not sustained.

But elements of that effort have formed the foundation for the national response to the coronavirus pandemic underway right now.

In a November 2005 speech at the National Institutes of Health, Bush laid out proposals in granular detail -- describing with stunning prescience how a pandemic in the United States would unfold. Among those in the audience was Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leader of the current crisis response, who was then and still is now the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

"A pandemic is a lot like a forest fire," Bush said at the time. "If caught early it might be extinguished with limited damage. If allowed to smolder, undetected, it can grow to an inferno that can spread quickly beyond our ability to control it."

The president recognized that an outbreak was a different kind of disaster than the ones the federal government had been designed to address.


"To respond to a pandemic, we need medical personnel and adequate supplies of equipment," Bush said. "In a pandemic, everything from syringes to hospital beds, respirators masks and protective equipment would be in short supply."

Bush told the gathered scientists that they would need to develop a vaccine in record time.

"If a pandemic strikes, our country must have a surge capacity in place that will allow us to bring a new vaccine on line quickly and manufacture enough to immunize every American against the pandemic strain," he said.

Bush set out to spend $7 billion building out his plan. His cabinet secretaries urged their staffs to take preparations seriously. The government launched a website, www.pandemicflu.gov, that is still in use today. But as time passed, it became increasingly difficult to justify the continued funding, staffing and attention, Bossert said.

"You need to have annual budget commitment. You need to have institutions that can survive any one administration. And you need to have leadership experience," Bossert said. "All three of those can be effected by our wonderful and unique form of government in which you transfer power every four years."


Bush declined, through a spokesman, to comment on the unfolding crisis or discuss the current response. But his remarks from 15 years ago still resonate.


"If we wait for a pandemic to appear," he warned, "it will be too late to prepare. And one day many lives could be needlessly lost because we failed to act today."

Some of the usual haters show up in the comments, of course. Doesn't change this prescience in both men, and the error in dropping the programs.

What a specialist said is really true. It is really strange that this virus are making even young adult with too strong immunity to be dangerous and old people with weak one except child. How to explain that?


" I am an epidemiologist with eight years of field experience, including time on the front lines of the isolation and quarantine efforts during the 2009 swine flu pandemic. One month ago, I was under the impression that the death reports due to COVID-19 circulation in China were giving us an unfair picture of its mortality rate. I wrote a piece saying that the death rate of an emerging disease always looks bad in the early stages of an outbreak, but is likely to drop once better data become available. After waiting for eight weeks, I am now worried that these new data — data indicating that the virus has a low fatality rate — may not arrive.

For now, Americans need to prepare themselves that the next 12 months are going to look very different. Vacations may have to be canceled. Social interactions will look different. And risk management is something we’re going to have to think about every morning when we wake up. The coronavirus epidemic is not going to extinguish itself. It is not in another country. It is not just the cold and flu. And it is not going away."

This is data from World Health Organisation regarding confirmed infections worldwide on a daily bases.

I am not going into debating virus itself, i think i am not professional enough. However i can clearly see the infection chart is exponentially rising and its not still showing signs of weakness.
 
New phase of the coronavirus in Spain: The Government changes its strategy

María José Sierra, director of the CCAES, has indicated that they expect the result "in a few weeks"

The Government has reported this Sunday that a "seroprevalence" study will be started "now" to find out what percentage of the population has passed Covid-19 in Spain, with antibody tests that allow calculating how many people are already immunized against to the virus.

Just in case you were thinking that the travel ban from China was effective:

"Since Chinese officials disclosed the outbreak of a mysterious pneumonialike illness to international health officials on New Year’s Eve, at least 430,000 people have arrived in the United States on direct flights from China, including nearly 40,000 in the two months after President Donald Trump imposed restrictions on such travel, according to an analysis of data collected in both countries.The bulk of the passengers, who were of multiple nationalities, arrived in January, at airports in Los Angeles; San Francisco; New York; Chicago; Seattle; Newark, New Jersey; and Detroit. Thousands of them flew directly from Wuhan, the center of the coronavirus outbreak, as American public health officials were only beginning to assess the risks to the United States.
Flights continued this past week, the data show, with passengers traveling from Beijing to Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, under rules that exempt Americans and some others from the clampdown that took effect on Feb. 2. In all, 279 flights from China have arrived in the United States since then, and screening procedures have been uneven, interviews show."

Seal the borders, eh? This does not count the ones that came indirectly.


 
I have drenching myself in reports of Covid 19/Wuhan Flu for months now, and my take away are these...

Best channel for medical reporting is JAMA.
W.H.O. is one of the worst because of China's obvious influence.

To get accurate real time reporting on developments that impact the common man, I actually go to "boots on the ground" instead of legacy media outlets like CNN. It's more difficult now because many search engines (esp. Youtube's) stack establishment agencies in the first twenty or thirty returns. Reuters, N.B.C., N.Y. Times, etc. hog all the best spots.

BUT if you look hard enough you can get around the unofficial blockade.

Here's what I have observed as of 4/5/20:

In the U.S. our social distancing measures have been extremely effective. We have learned costly lessons from China, and then from Italy and Spain. Yes the numbers in New York City are terrible today, but we could easily have had another zero or even two in front of these mortality totals if we weren't so careful. In NYC, there don't appear to be huge outpourings of ill people in the temporary medical tents or even the Navy rescue ship. Most ambulances in the city seem to be quite now, thankfully. This could change if we loosen the restrictions too early.

Regarding the overall political situation, our media is trying to use Covid as a lever to pry Trump out of office. This effort is futile. Gov. Cuomo is now on a media blitz to unseat Biden from his party's nomination and Cuomo will probably be successful in replacing Biden...

Governor Cuomo was doing a solid job handling the virus on a state level, however recently he has really been pumping the well and appears (to me anyway) as cloying, slightly clumsy, even over-bearing. Cuomo is over-playing his hand and I don't think he would fare well against Trump. Cuomo might work four years from today though.

I'm afraid mortality in the US will be roughly the same like Italy, which is huge considering that this is number will be an average for a vast territory.
Today Italy mortality is 263 per million, New York is 214 and catching up quickly. At current rate it will surpass Italy in 3 days.

A Tiger at Bronx Zoo Tests Positive for COVID-19,
... five other Tigers and Lions at the zoo -- began showing symptoms of respiratory illness, ...

While it doesn't replicate very well in dogs, it does seem to find it easier going in cats. These are just big, feral cats after all.

Much as I hated doing it, I'm not letting my cat sleep on my bed anymore. If I get it, I don't want to give it to him.
 
hm
reading about new treatment,
that can exterminate Corona

Ivermectin (usually used at animal breeding, and at 'Fish farms', anti-parasite)
Colchicine for second phase and heart (Cardio) problems
 
The tiger did not sleep with the zoo employee ;) so you may relax Angela...
 
You’re comparing Apples and Oranges.

If it is true that a Navy Captain revealed the operational status of his Warship / Aircraft Carrier to a civilian entity bypassing the chain of command, the Captain broke the rules.

He broadcast his weakness to the World on board an armed vessel full of highly sensitive and sophisticated Defense Assets in the middle of the ocean.

It’s a no no thing to do.

If true!


Well news today say that he is Corona Positive,
as part of the crew.

So his fear, was true,

I think you misunderstood. The cat never goes out. It's he who should be afraid of us. :)

As for the poor tigers, all those coughing and sneezing visitors and keepers infected them.

Humans as vectors for animals. I didn't predict it, but here we are.
