I have been studying this thing since around Jan. 25th. I am absolutely stunned by how slow and pathetic the official response has been. It’s like they want people to die. It’s insane.
This virus is not “just a flu”. It’s not “just a respiratory disease”, either. SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 are monster pathogens, and the latter, especially so, because of its ridiculously high R0 that overwhelms hospitals with waves of sick people.
I am in fucking contact with several high-level people over this, and I’ve done meta-analysis on several papers related to SARS and COVID-19, and this thing is beyond fucking fucked.
To quote myself:
Also, I sent a 3600-word nastygram to Senator Blumenthal, Dr. Redfield, and Secretary Azar, which, of course, they have not returned:
SARS-CoV-2 does not merely cause mild flu symptoms that progress to bilateral viral pneumonia with ground-glass opacities in both lungs. That would be bad enough on its own.
No, it causes myocarditis in your heart, and then, your heart breaking down gives you rhabdo and kidney failure from all the myoglobin circulating in your bloodstream.
Your own prevotella gut bacteria starts infecting your body with massive bacterial infections because of your overtaxed immune system being driven to its limit.
Autoimmune reactions destroy the alveoli in your lungs until your lungs look like goulash. Your liver and kidneys and blood vessels all start shitting themselves, and blood clots consisting of clumps of your dissolved heart, viruses, and bacteria turn your bloodstream septic while also giving you heart attacks and/or strokes.
Also, in hACE2 transgenic mouse models, it was shown that SARS-CoV could infect the brain through the olfactory bulb, just like naegleria fowleri amoeba. This may be the cause behind the mysterious sudden drop deaths that we’ve witnessed. If you can smell an aerosol holding the virus, that means it could have touched your olfactory bulb and entered your brain. SARS-CoV was found in the brains of victims in the 2003 outbreak.
The spike glycoproteins of this fucker have active furin cleavage sites that make its cell-to-cell fusion 1000 times more efficient than SARS. It latches to your cells using a similar mechanism to HIV spikes. It is optimized for high transmissibility between humans. If it wasn’t a gain-of-function pathogen that escaped a laboratory, then it sure as hell fucking looks like one.
This fucker is neurological. It attacks the heart. It destroys the kidneys. It also happens to turn your lungs into a great big pile of shit.
I have been banned from multiple communities for telling the fucking truth.
Wuhan does not have only 2,000ish dead. It’s more like 50k to 300k dead. The whole city is a graveyard full of screaming people and carrion birds that smell the decaying corpses and hunger for human flesh. Those welded-up apartments are full of dead people. Grandma’s bloated corpse is lying on the coffee table while her screaming grandkids are in the next room.
These motherfucking bureaucrat assholes need to get off their motherfucking asses and fucking act immediately!
This virus is not “just a flu”. It’s not “just a respiratory disease”, either. SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 are monster pathogens, and the latter, especially so, because of its ridiculously high R0 that overwhelms hospitals with waves of sick people.

I'm going to attempt to summarize my updated findings in a concise manner, to try and narrow down what happens to COVID-19 victims. I'm also going to cite my sources:
The disease has an R0, the reproduction value, of around 6.6, which means 1 person infects that many other people, on average. There are also super-spreader incidents where one person can infect dozens of others. The R0 has been variously calculated as being somewhere between 3 and 7, and one Belgian scientist says between 4.7 to 7:

https://www.rtbf.be/info/opinions/d...us-il-faut-savoir-ecouter-la-peur?id=10443799
The median incubation period is around 5 days, but outliers of 24+ days have been seen:
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landig/article/PIIS2589-7500(20)30026-1/fulltext
SARS-CoV-2 is strongly suspected to be airborne:
https://www.msn.com/en-sg/news/worl...sks/ar-BB10ljdt?ocid=ems.msn.dl.RosetteNebula
SARS-CoV is known to have spread by the oral-fecal route and through airborne sewage particulate matter, and SARS-CoV-2 is likely no different in that regard. The virus contaminates sewers and makes them hazardous:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5302810/
The virus attacks ACE2 receptors in cells. ACE2 stands for Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2, and it's part of the angiotensin-renin system that regulates vasoconstriction and vasodilation. This system is essential for your body to maintain the correct blood pressure. ACE2 receptors are found in many vital organs and reproductive tissues in the human body. Lungs, heart, kidneys, brain, and also in the testis in males:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2667944/
SARS-CoV (a relative of SARS-CoV-2) has been shown to cause neural death (surprisingly without encephalitis) in transgenic mouse models:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2493326/
SARS-CoV was also found in the brains of infected patients in previous outbreaks:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2667944/
The action of SARS-Coronaviruses (which attack ACE2 pathways) can dysregulate the angiotensin system and cause cardiopulmonary damage and inflammation directly through this route:

https://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/10.2217/fvl.10.4
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32061198
SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 can both cause cytokine storms, where inflammatory agents released by the body's own immune system begin to over-accumulate and damage tissues that they were sent to protect:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3294426/

https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S0140-6736(20)30183-5
SARS-CoV-2 can cause myocarditis leading to myoglobin accumulation in the blood and renal failure. It can also directly attack several vital organs of the body:

https://www.healthline.com/health-n...contracting-the-coronavirus#Liver-and-kidneys
SARS-CoV has been shown to be capable of Dengue-like antibody-dependent enhancement, tricking the immune system into aiding the virus. It is unknown whether or not SARS-CoV-2 can do the same. Also, some of these studies use in vitro models that have not been verified in vivo, and should perhaps be viewed with skepticism:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3019510/
https://www.msi.umn.edu/~lifang/flpapers/fang_li_mers_ade_jvi_2019.pdf
SARS-CoV has been known to cause vasculitis of the organs by attacking blood vessels directly. It is unknown whether or not this also applies to SARS-CoV-2:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1829448/
https://cmr.asm.org/content/20/4/660
SARS-CoV-2 has a furin cleavage site on the spike glycoprotein that may greatly enhance cell-to-cell fusion and infectiousness:

There is some hope! Various drugs and therapies are being investigated.
Remdesivir and Chloroquine show promise in inhibiting viral replication:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32074550
CytoSorb, an extracorporeal filtration therapy, may help with cytokine release syndrome (a.k.a the dreaded cytokine storm):

http://cytosorbents.mediaroom.com/2...-Patients-with-COVID-19-Coronavirus-Infection
Angiotensin blockers (ARBs) can potentially keep SARS-CoV-2 and similar coronaviruses away from ACE2 receptors, but they may have unwanted side effects:
https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11427-015-4814-7.pdf
Quick Summary: Extremely contagious. Long incubation period with asymptomatic transmission. Very high likelihood of airborne aerosol transmission as well as oral-fecal transmission. Causes severe bilateral viral pneumonia with ground-glass opacities in the lungs visible on CT. Can potentially cause myocarditis and subsequent rhabdomyolysis that shuts down the kidneys due to myoglobin entering the blood from the damaged heart. Can potentially damage blood vessels, especially inside certain vital organs. Can potentially damage neurons in the brain (which may be the cause for the mysterious sudden drop fatalities with people suffering apparent brain death and seizures, as seen in leaked social media footage). This information will require further verification from experts in virology and epidemiology, but I've tried to do a meta-analysis as best I can.
This thing is so much scarier than the flu, it's unbelievable.
This is all the stuff that it does ON TOP of giving you pneumonia. It's not just a respiratory disease. It's a multi-organ inflammatory killer with a ridiculous rate of spread.
They need to be autopsying multiple vital organs and looking for damage outside the lungs. It's not just a respiratory disease. Not at all. It's a monster.
Also, I sent a 3600-word nastygram to Senator Blumenthal, Dr. Redfield, and Secretary Azar, which, of course, they have not returned:
Senator Blumenthal, Dr. Redfield,
Sirs, my name is [REDACTED], I am a [REDACTED] member of the [REDACTED], a [REDACTED] member, and an employee of the [REDACTED].
I work as a [REDACTED] for the [REDACTED] here in [REDACTED]. I am a diesel technician who specializes in the operation and maintenance of marine-adapted locomotive engines, such as the EMD 710 and GE 7FDM/V228. I have also maintained electrical and hydraulic equipment on our vessels, and I am trained in firefighting and the use of respirators.
So imagine my surprise, shock, and dismay, when one of the [REDACTED] that we send our [REDACTED] to for [REDACTED], the [REDACTED], was turned into a coronavirus quarantine site.
For the past three weeks, I have been analyzing numerous pieces of leaked media from Wuhan, Hubei province, China, as well as studying scientific papers on SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, the effect of these pathogens on human biology, the patient outcomes, the epidemiological models, and the reports from doctors, virologists, and epidemiologists tracking the disease.
I follow Dr. John Campbell’s YouTube channel. I am also in direct contact with:
-Dr. Todd Rider, PhD, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, inventor of DRACO antiviral therapy (which, sadly, never got enough funding to advance to human trials). I have donated $1000 to his research.
-Michael Coudrey, the founder of the Pharos Investment Group, who I conversed with on Twitter about the prospect of bringing novel antiviral therapies to bear against pandemics.
-An unnamed Board Director of an IT and cyber-security company in Japan, who is an acquaintance of Col. Ken Alibek, the Soviet defector and former head of their bioweapons research program; he contacted me after a post I made about the virus, expressing deep and heartfelt concerns.
I have also been donating all of the spare CPU clock cycles on my home workstation to Rosetta@home’s protein-folding simulations through Berkeley’s BOINC distributed computing platform.
By cross-referencing and meta-analysis, I have come to a few very disturbing conclusions. My confidence in them is not 100%; this is all inexact because it’s based on incomplete data from an outbreak in progress, pieced together from preprint papers and other spotty data (as well as peer-reviewed but sometimes outdated research on SARS-CoV) but this is the picture that I currently have.
Apologies for not citing my sources. I’m very tired, it’s been a long week, and heck, I suspect you already know far more than I do and can swat me down if I’m off-base.
I had a personal friend of mine, a guy with a [REDACTED] who was formerly of the [REDACTED] (we met over our shared love of military science fiction), tell me off and say, to paraphrase, “Don’t worry, let experts handle it, you can do nothing, you know nothing, calm down.”
Well, I’m not calm. I am whatever the polar opposite of calm is.
Anyway, without further ado, here is my rough assessment:
SARS-CoV-2 will cause mild illness in 80% of the people who get infected with it and develop COVID-19.
In 20%, it will cause severe illness requiring supplementary oxygen, intubation, or, god forbid, an ECMO, to keep the patient alive.
4.8% percent of known cases are fatal. 1 in 20 people who have become symptomatic and been counted as detected cases, out of a sample of 50,000, died of COVID-19, due to ARDS. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Like SARS, it may cause lung and heart damage and chronic ailments that hound its survivors long after they recover, sapping them of the energy needed to perform routine daily activities.
SARS-CoV-2 has three potential avenues of attack in the human body.
It primarily binds to the ACE2 receptors of human cells. ACE2 stands for Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2, and it is part of the angiotensin-renin system of the body, which regulates vasoconstriction and vasodilation. Tissues with ACE2 receptors are found in many organs in the body, not just the lungs. They are also found in the kidneys. SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 can dysregulate the angiotensin system and cause severe inflammation affecting the heart.
It can cause cytokine release syndrome, affecting T-helper cells and the CD receptor pathways. The alveoli in one patient’s lungs were practically destroyed by excess CD receptor activation and cytokine release, which caused extreme inflammation and autoimmune injury to their lung tissue.
SARS-CoV can, in vitro, cause antibody-dependent enhancement, where a weak antibody response similar to the kind found in Dengue carries the virus to the Fc receptor pathway and allows it to infect immune cells. Your own immune cells aid viral replication instead of preventing it like they’re supposed to.
SARS-CoV-2 does not just attack the lungs. It attacks multiple vital organs of the body with severe inflammation and autoimmune responses.
It can cause myocarditis, infecting the heart and dissolving the heart muscle away into the bloodstream.
It can potentially damage the kidneys and the seminiferous ducts of the testis because of their ACE2 receptor-bearing cells, potentially causing chronic kidney disease, acute kidney failure and a need for dialysis, or even male infertility.
In leaked footage and photos on social media, it has even caused people in China, Iran, and Italy to collapse face-first on the street, going rigid from head to toe and experiencing seizures as if they have viral encephalitis. Some of these patients reportedly experienced brain death and paralysis of the diaphragm, and could not breathe on their own without life support.
SARS-CoV-2 is not SARS-CoV. It is genetically similar and causes a similar type of illness, but it is far more virulent. Its genetic inserts (the key differences between it and SARS-CoV) indicate that its exterior proteins bind to ACE2 with a much higher affinity than SARS-CoV, by as much as twenty times greater, making it extremely infectious.
R0 calculations have hovered between 3 and 7 for Wuhan.
It has a median incubation period of 5 to 7 days, but can take as long as 24 days to perhaps even longer than a month to incubate.
It is extremely infectious during the entire asymptomatic incubation period. Even spending a few moments seated across from someone with the disease is enough to get sick.
It can be transmitted through the droplet and oral-fecal route, and is present in human feces and urine. It can apparently be transmitted by airborne aerosols, as well, but the CCP has tried to walk back talk of aerosol transmission due to how bad it sounds. Anyone with any sense can see that it transmits so rapidly that droplet infection isn’t enough to explain the spread.
It can taint sewage drains and become a waterborne illness, surviving in water and in sewage and runoff longer than on surfaces, contaminating them and threatening to infect anyone who is exposed to any of these things. In the Amoy Gardens incident with the 2003 SARS outbreak, hundreds were infected by droplets from feces rising up through the floor drains of their apartments because their U-traps had gone dry and they were breathing particulates of human waste.
Oh, excuse me if I’m about to get extremely, insufferably sarcastic, but right in the middle of the outbreak, Charles Lieber, a Harvard chemist specializing in nanotech, was charged with accepting bribes from China’s Wuhan University of Technology and possibly selling our tech secrets to the PRC, and the DOJ’s indictment mentions how one of his Chinese associates stood accused of attempting to smuggle biological samples out of the country in a stinky old sock, but let’s ignore that, that’s nothing. It’s like, what’s-his-face. Wayne Knight. In Jurassic Park. Dennis Nedry. Vials in a can of Barbasol. Yeah, it’s nothing we should be worried about.
Oh, and Canada booted out a couple Chinese nationals who violated protocol at a BSL-4 lab last year, but that’s nothing we need to be concerned about, either.
Oh, and Wuhan is also host to China’s only BSL-4 virology lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which, against all common sense, is situated in a highly populated area right next to the Shagang Reservoir which is presumably full of fresh drinking water, and there’s a lab holding diseased bats 300 meters from the wet market where the outbreak allegedly began, but that’s just fearmongering to suggest it might’ve accidentally leaked from either of those locations.
Pay no heed to how lockdowns were called at Chinese government buildings in Wuhan in early January, long before the scope of the epidemic was recognized.
It came from Pangolins. Or something. We think. Actually, we can’t even trace Patient Zero to the Huanan Wet Market at all, but let’s just ignore that.
Oh, and it killed a Chinese film director and his family of four, but let’s ignore the fact that in order for that to be true with a mere 5% mortality rate, one would have to land on the same face of a 20-sided die four times in a row. They were all breathing each other’s bad air. It must’ve increased their viral load and mortality. It’s nothing to be concerned about, clearly.
Oh, and some whistleblower guy at Huoshenshan hospital said that the tap water in Wuhan is contaminated and undrinkable, forcing them to rely on bottled and distilled water, 400 people with pneumonia are dragged off and cremated every day there, and sewage and runoff contaminated with the virus has a risk of going all the way down the Yangtze and entering the Pacific Ocean, but that’s nothing, that’s just a specious source that doesn’t mean anything, even though he posted photos with a timestamp written on a note to prove it.
Oh, and funeral directors at all the crematoriums in Wuhan allegedly say they’ve been receiving many times the normal number of bodies, but that’s nothing. It’s not COVID-19. It’s, uhh, carbon monoxide poisoning, or something. We’re not sure. It’s only been 2,000-something deaths, tops. We’re positive. That media outlet is Falun Gong. You can’t trust those wackos. They’ll do anything to accuse the CCP of foul play. Don’t you know they call evil spirits into their bodies with that Qigong stuff?
Trust us on our word, even though we’re the PRC and we lie about literally everything, including what goes into your baby formula.
Now, what have the CCP done?
-Dumped dirt on roads and established police roadblocks to block people from fleeing Wuhan in specific and Hubei in general.
-Beaten and detained citizens suspected of harboring the disease, dragging them off to quarantine against their will, chaining them up in rows like chain gangs in the Old West.
-Welded people up inside their apartments with limited food and water to enforce quarantines, leaving them at risk if there’s a building fire.
-Destroyed increasingly scarce supplies of food alleged to be contaminated.
-Forced farmers to release their livestock into the wild because they can’t get animal feed.
-Forced heroic healthcare workers to work under incredibly unsanitary and insane conditions while equipped with inadequate PPE and while following inadequate decontamination measures, causing them to become infected and suffer untold mental anguish as they continue treating patients while contemplating their impending demise.
-Commandeered gymnasiums, sports stadiums, college dormitories, and other public buildings to use as makeshift quarantine facilities, holding thousands of patients together in close proximity with no isolation, vastly increasing the risk of nosocomial infections.
-Moved PLA medical units into Hubei with scores of SA 321 Super Frelon transport helicopters, clearly recognizable in footage on Twitter by their duck-billed noses and asymmetric tailplanes.
-Made a big show of spraying unknown disinfectant chemicals all over Wuhan with tank trucks and mosquito foggers, for some unknown purpose that international experts cannot discern.
-Rounded up dissidents and engaged in widespread internet censorship.
-Gotten in brawls with panicked civilians.
-Suppressed rioting from people hoping to leave the quarantine zone.
-Built temporary hospitals out of shipping containers which now have leaky roofs that are spreading disease inside them through the disgusting puddles of standing water.
-Busted up Mahjong tables to keep people from sitting in close proximity. Yes, Mahjong tables. We’re the CCP, and we know you’re stressed and scared and sick, but no fun allowed. Just sit and ruminate about your impending death while periodically screaming.
-Restricted travel for 760+ million people, or about 10% of the world population(!)
-Ceased shipping goods, while also reducing industrial activity to the tune of one-quarter of all their CO2 production.
These are not measures that one takes when one has suffered a mere 80,000 infections and 2,700 deaths, much less than a normal flu season.
If epidemiological models are correct, I estimate that it has infected more than 1.5 million people in Wuhan and killed more than 50,000. The CCP’s numbers are severely lowballed, to protect their markets from the inevitable crash that would result if people knew something akin to the Spanish Flu was going around.
Maersk has reportedly canceled dozens of sailings. I have seen photographs of hundreds of fallow container ships moored off the coast of Singapore. Online storefronts are running out of stock of various Chinese goods.
What in the blazes is going on over there?
Wuhan looks like a war zone, and it is filled with millions of screaming and dying people who are trapped in increasingly unsanitary conditions in their high-rise apartments, no doubt many of them suffering untold horror as they are forced to cohabitate with the decomposing bodies of their roommates and family members.
There is footage of carrion birds flying all over Wuhan, attracted by the smell of decay. It is positively medieval. It is a human tragedy beyond the wildest imaginings of the most depraved horror novelists.
While perusing the leaked footage, I literally expected Dustin Hoffman to appear in a hazmat suit. It looks like a disaster movie. It doesn’t even look real.
In actual fact, I have watched, in stunned horror, as people that I associate with online (many of them Chinese expats and science fiction fans themselves) who would ordinarily never even entertain the idea of crisis actors have claimed that the footage is all fake and the people in it are all crisis actors, even when I linked them to an article in the Guardian showing that even reputable mainstream press outlets recognize the footage is real.
What do we need in order to contain this should it cause an epidemic in America? Well, here’s what I’m looking at right now.
Remdesivir, an FDA-unapproved antiviral designed to combat Ebola, a task that it failed at, but which has shown great promise in treating COVID-19 patients. It inhibits RNA replication and prevents the virus from producing more virions in the body.
Chloroquine, a synthetic quinine used as an anti-malarial medication, which also inhibits viral replication.
CytoSorb, a cytokine adsorbent that consists of polymer pellets with tiny micro-pores that absorb excess cytokines and prevent viral sepsis.
Losartan and Telmisartan, angiotensin blockers to try and keep the virus away from ACE2 receptors.
You also need lots of acetaminophen as an antipyretic and guaifenesin expectorant for the tons of mucus produced by a pneumonic person’s lungs. Tylenol and Mucinex. Time to stock up.
I investigated DRACO protein therapy, and I am angry and heartbroken. I had been following that tech in popsci mags for the past ten years, and I cannot believe that after publishing a respectable paper and attracting DARPA interest (they wanted a broad-spectrum antiviral to protect US troops against pandemics and bioweapons), Dr. Rider never managed to secure sustained funding for the continuation of his research. In a just world, he would have a Nobel Prize and people would be falling on their hands and knees and kissing his feet for inventing an antiviral silver bullet that is to viruses what penicillin was to bacteria. Please, for the love of god, look into securing grants for his vital and necessary work.
We need negative-pressure isolation tents to treat patients. Thousands and thousands of them.
We also need mechanical ventilator equipment, dialysis machines, ECMOs, and tons and tons of oxygen bottles and nasal cannulas for people with hypoxemia.
Responders need PPE. Lots of it. Good respirators, like the kind that take 40mm CBRN filters, not surgical masks.
And, of course, we need robust transportation for all of these supplies, as well as strict military quarantine measures to isolate the infected from the uninfected, should the worst come to pass and the spread of this lurking killer cannot be easily controlled.
If factories don’t exist to assemble any of these things, they need to exist, right now.
I work in [REDACTED]. Me and my [REDACTED] are at risk of contracting this deadly disease because of our close proximity to the public and because we handle plumbing fixtures and HVAC equipment on our [REDACTED] that may become contaminated and infect us.
I am not a biologist or virologist. I’m an [REDACTED], on a [REDACTED]. If even a rank-and-file [REDACTED] nobody like me can piece together this much with nothing but trawling social media and engaging in Google-fu, then how many other members of the lay public are slowly beginning to realize what is happening, and what horrors are heading full steam in our direction, right now, while we stand paralyzed like a deer in the headlights?
Very few. Most people don’t care about this. No one is wearing masks. There are some murmurs about “some virus that’s going around”, but nobody knows what’s coming.
My coworkers think I’m going nuts. Well, that’s because I am going nuts. I am emotionally and physically drained. I am devastated, and I am very angry.
I am not going to mince words, so forgive me if what I am about to say sounds vulgar. I am a [REDACTED], and an American.
I have spent three weeks watching officials in various countries do much, much worse than twiddle their thumbs. It’s farcical. A circus. It would be comedic if it weren’t horrifying and didn’t involve so much senseless death.
While innocent Chinese suffer needlessly, Dr. Ghebreyesus is in a competition with his fellow WHO officials to see how deeply he can _____ Xi Jinping. Two guesses as to what goes in the blank space. I’ll give you a hint; it begins with fell and ends with ate.
The most he and the WHO have done for the Chinese public, other than peddle their ridiculous and uninformative press releases, is conspire to develop a soulless acronym for this disease that doesn’t offend the CCP’s sensibilities or invite comparisons to the previous SARS outbreak, thus sparing a few party officials the extreme embarrassment that they would no doubt feel if we all started calling this SARS 2: Electric Boogaloo.
First, the WHO were like “Oh please don’t let the SSE or SZSE fall, let’s hope our CCP masters can pull through and end this quietly”. Chinese stock exchanges took a nosedive while untrained and uncoordinated volunteer militia CCP thugs wearing useless surgical masks did a round of beating and detaining their citizens and dragging them in the streets, idiotically exposing themselves to the virus in the process.
Then, they were like “We don’t have a pandemic category anymore, you can’t expect us to actually pay for relief out of our pandemic bonds, that would piss off our rich investors”.
Except they didn’t actually use any of those words to describe what they were doing, because that would be a PR catastrophe.
Japanese bureaucrats eat lunch and handle their smartphones aboard the Diamond Princess while still wearing their contaminated gloves, heedless of the danger because of their tiny pea brains.
The State Department allowing people sick with COVID-19 on the same plane as uninfected people was an error so disgusting that it beggars belief. It’s like they want Americans to get sick on purpose. Would it really cost so much to send ‘em on separate planes?
Furthermore, that Jack Russell Terrier-looking ignoramus, John Bolton, has made himself an enemy of the American public by de-funding the CDC, while our rivals still actively research bioweapons and openly brag of their plans to depopulate America for their own benefit. He has a lot to answer for, and he must be held accountable when Americans die from this terrifying disease.
I am not stupid. I realize that official disclosure of any of this would crash the stock market. We need a functioning economy if we are to have even a chance of fighting this.
I also realize that many of these are unconfirmed rumors, that my own conclusions would need expert review, and that my qualifications are insufficient to make any authoritative statements on my own.
On the other hand, this disease is currently rampaging through Iran and Italy, and recreating many of the same scenes we witnessed in Wuhan over there, including the mysterious and unexplained “sudden drop” deaths.
Is this thing neurological?
I am writing to you because I am begging you, please. Please, sirs. Act now. Before this disgusting pathogen does to our country what it did to China.
The American public are, in large part, totally unaware of the terrible danger we are all in. This thing is killing young people. It’s killing young, healthy Chinese doctors and it’s killing Iranian children.
I don’t want to die. I don’t want my family members to die. I don’t want my friends and co-workers to die.
Please, help us. Please, secure vital funding. Please, contain this thing.
From the bottom of my heart, I am begging you.
Respectfully,
-[REDACTED]
P.S. I am literally going crazy over here. Am I catastrophizing or is this exactly as bad as it looks?
SARS-CoV-2 does not merely cause mild flu symptoms that progress to bilateral viral pneumonia with ground-glass opacities in both lungs. That would be bad enough on its own.
No, it causes myocarditis in your heart, and then, your heart breaking down gives you rhabdo and kidney failure from all the myoglobin circulating in your bloodstream.
Your own prevotella gut bacteria starts infecting your body with massive bacterial infections because of your overtaxed immune system being driven to its limit.
Autoimmune reactions destroy the alveoli in your lungs until your lungs look like goulash. Your liver and kidneys and blood vessels all start shitting themselves, and blood clots consisting of clumps of your dissolved heart, viruses, and bacteria turn your bloodstream septic while also giving you heart attacks and/or strokes.
Also, in hACE2 transgenic mouse models, it was shown that SARS-CoV could infect the brain through the olfactory bulb, just like naegleria fowleri amoeba. This may be the cause behind the mysterious sudden drop deaths that we’ve witnessed. If you can smell an aerosol holding the virus, that means it could have touched your olfactory bulb and entered your brain. SARS-CoV was found in the brains of victims in the 2003 outbreak.
The spike glycoproteins of this fucker have active furin cleavage sites that make its cell-to-cell fusion 1000 times more efficient than SARS. It latches to your cells using a similar mechanism to HIV spikes. It is optimized for high transmissibility between humans. If it wasn’t a gain-of-function pathogen that escaped a laboratory, then it sure as hell fucking looks like one.
This fucker is neurological. It attacks the heart. It destroys the kidneys. It also happens to turn your lungs into a great big pile of shit.
I have been banned from multiple communities for telling the fucking truth.
Wuhan does not have only 2,000ish dead. It’s more like 50k to 300k dead. The whole city is a graveyard full of screaming people and carrion birds that smell the decaying corpses and hunger for human flesh. Those welded-up apartments are full of dead people. Grandma’s bloated corpse is lying on the coffee table while her screaming grandkids are in the next room.
These motherfucking bureaucrat assholes need to get off their motherfucking asses and fucking act immediately!
