Tweets of the day – the Coronavirus, China and Canada

Yes, it just might be plausible. By the way, I don’t think I have ever before seen a Twitter thread that is so well crafted. Enjoy reading (if reading about biological warfare can be considered enjoyable.)

    Not enjoyable, but interesting. Here we have a situation where it would have been better to check these people’s ethnicity at the door. It appears there was a whole bunch of these guys. Just like not frisking little old black and white ladies at the airport and paying attention to those people who would like to blow up airplanes.

    What are the REALISTIC solutions to keeping it from becoming a pandemic? How can its spread be prevented? Perhaps everyone who has been to China or who has had contact with a person who has been to China within the last three months should be quarantined and that most certainly includes our elected and non-elected governmental officials? Unrealistic. But then since Canada has played a part in this potential pandemic killer, perhaps no one from Canada should be allowed into the U.S.? Again unrealistic.

    We know that China has been experiencing mass animal illness and death on their pig farms. It can’t just be coincidence that a nation involved in creating illness-borne weapons of mass destruction is having an immense flu outbreak.

    It isn’t, of course, the first time flu has been spread over the world. I caught the Asian flu in 1957 and was absolutely sick for three weeks. The Hong Kong flu in 1968 also affected me and a number of my co-workers.

    The deadliest flu in the U.S. was the Spanish flu of 1918. “The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide—about one-third of the planet’s population—and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims, including some 675,000 Americans.Oct 12, 2010

    My paternal grandfather and other family members caught the Spanish flu when they lived near Phoenix, AZ. How would it have gotten into this desert area? Perhaps over the southern border or from Arizona residents traveling to Europe, which would have included our service men and women re World War I. “1918: Spanish flu affects 3,000 Phoenix residents.” http://archive.azcentral.com/centennial/ent/articles/2011/07/22/20110722arizona-architecture-timeline-valley-1912-45.html

    The EcoHealth Alliance has an article re the 1918 flu tragedy: (https://www.ecohealthalliance.org/2018/05/outbreak-pandemic-strikes?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlLLdz72k5wIVHR-tBh2bzAZwEAAYASAAEgKYm_D_BwE). A couple quotes: “Though we’ll likely never be able to determine definitively the source of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic, one theory is that America’s Heartland played a critical role in its expansion.”

    “The flu strain responsible for the 1918 pandemic was of avian origin. We will likely never know exactly how it spilled over into humans, but we do know that pigs can catch both avian and human flu viruses. We have seen that when this happens, that avian flu can develop the ability to infect humans. Not only does Kansas have more than a few pig farms, but southwestern Kansas–where Haskell County is located–sits along a major migratory path for more than a dozen bird species. Much has changed in the past 100 years, but the basic pathways of disease emergence have not. Presently 75% of emerging infectious diseases are of animal origin.”

    Our government better be serious about this potential disaster or we’re really in for it.

      I think the Spanish flu spread in this country because of the returning military from Europe after WWI.

        Yes…and look at this stat…something I never read before…”Of the U.S. soldiers who died in Europe, half of them fell to the influenza virus and not to the enemy (Deseret News). An estimated 43,000 servicemen mobilized for WWI died of influenza (Crosby).”
