Interesting, last year, I was sick for 3 weeks. Shortness of breath, stopped all the way once, cough, fever and pain. The doctor just ignored it and gave me zpack. I thought it was whooping cough. My friend just got the flu and his kidneys went out. Maybe it’s been around for a year. It sounds like the same thing I had last year. The question is what makes China flue worse then the one we had. My friends that work at airport said there were rumors since December about this.
From elsewhere, the current/recent flu stats from the US. It's a @1:10,000 fatality rate compared to the guess-timated @280:10,000 Corona virus fatality rate. Though numbers are much higher than SARS' eventual result, as its winter and mostly old people, it's not unusual enough to make the papers.
It you extrapolate these figures to , say the USA, we can guess at around 16 million Deaths. To the island of Ireland around 200.000 deaths. To the North of Ireland around 50.000 So it's not by any means like an ordinary flu.
Now on good note...my sister got it a month ago. She had it for six weeks. Her breathing stopped while coughing. Scared her. She was around me every day and I didn’t get sick. Maybe you get it once and your immune to virus.
44 people died of the flu in California in one week. In the United States it was around 110,000 in that same week. In one month that’s a 1/2 million people. So, it looks about right. Many won’t be reported because they will blame it on other causes.
The problem with a Pandemic is not the Mortality or Hospitalisation rates. The problem is Societal breakdown. So if you have insufficient people to say, man the power stations, supermarkets, transport hubs, police stations and so the fabric of society itself collapses. The word, 'Pandemic', has the same roots as the original word in Greek to Panic. In other words , rather like a Rabbit facing a snake to freeze. That society would, so to speak, scare itself to death. That is why we are being lied to on such a massive scale . They are trying to stop us being scared, so to speak, to death. It was the same in the Spanish Flu of 1918, massive, massive censorship of the Media, to such an extent that people no longer believed a word that was said...and they were quite right. Which raises the big question. Is it better to know the truth or to remain in passive ignorance? I trust any follower of Jesus would always, always prefer the Truth to lies. No matter how convincing. I admit I am seeing seeing some totally jaw dropping tall tales from Medical Experts at the minute. Jaw dropping lies. Told with a straight face. dreadfull bare faced lies of monumental proportions. But then again, I suppose if you have to tell a lie tell a good one.
One of the huge dangers of the present Virus is that it could further mutate. The 1918 Spanish Flu came in two waves. The first was relatively mild. It died down but a few months later the big one came, mutated and killed 50 to 100 million.

Donnelly, Steven Riley, Neil M. Ferguson WHO Collaborating Centre for Infectious Disease Modelling, MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis, J-IDEA, Imperial College London, UK Correspondence: neil.ferguson@imperial.ac.uk Note: This is an extended version of an analysis previously shared with WHO, governments and academic networks between 22/1/20-24/1/20 Summary Report 3 Self-sustaining human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCov) is the only plausible explanation of the scale of the outbreak in Wuhan. We estimate that, on average, each case infected 2.6 (uncertainty range: 1.5-3.5) other people up to 18th January 2020, based on an analysis combining our past estimates of the size of the outbreak in Wuhan with computational modelling of potential epidemic trajectories. This implies that control measures need to block well over 60% of transmission to be effective in controlling the outbreak. It is likely, based on the experience of SARS and MERS-CoV, that the number of secondary cases caused by a case of 2019-nCoV is highly variable – with many cases causing no secondary infections, and a few causing many. Whether transmission is continuing at the same rate currently depends on the effectiveness of current control measures implemented in China and the extent to which the populations of affected areas have adopted risk-reducing behaviours. In the absence of antiviral drugs or vaccines, control relies upon the prompt detection and isolation of symptomatic cases. It is unclear at the current time whether this outbreak can be contained within China; uncertainties include the severity spectrum of the disease caused by this virus and whether cases with relatively mild symptoms are able to transmit the virus efficiently. Identification and testing of potential cases need to be as extensive as is permitted by healthcare and diagnostic testing capacity – including the identification, testing and isolation of suspected cases with only mild to moderate disease (e.g. influenza-like illness), when logistically feasible. 22 January 2020 - Imperial College London Report 2: Estimating the potential total number of novel Coronavirus cases in Wuhan City, China (Download Report 2) Natsuko Imai, Ilaria Dorigatti, Anne Cori, Christl Donnelly, Steven Riley, Neil M. Ferguson WHO Collaborating Centre for Infectious Disease Modelling MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis, J-IDEA, Imperial College London, UK Correspondence: neil.ferguson@imperial.ac.uk Summary Report 2 On January 16th we released estimates of the scale of the nCoV-19 outbreak in China based on an analysis of the number of cases detected outside mainland China. Since then, cumulative confirmed cases reported by the Chinese authorities have increased 10-fold, to 440 by January 22nd. The number of detected outside China with symptom onset by 18th January had increased to 7 in the same time. Here we report updated estimates of the scale of the epidemic in Wuhan, based on an analysis of flight and population data from that city. Our estimate of the number of cases in Wuhan with symptoms onset by January 18th is now 4,000. The uncertainty range is 1,000-9,700, reflecting the many continuing unknowns involved in deriving these estimates. Our central estimate of 4,000 is more than double our past estimates, a result of the increase of the number of cases detected outside mainland China from 3 to 7. Our estimates should not be interpreted as implying the outbreak has suddenly doubled in size in the period 12th January to 18th January – delays in confirming and reporting exported cases and incomplete information about dates of symptom onset together with the still very small numbers of exported cases mean we are unable to estimate the epidemic growth rate at the current time. Our analysis suggests that the nCoV-19 outbreak has caused substantially more cases of moderate or severe respiratory illness in Wuhan than have currently been detected. However, recent rapid increases in officially reported confirmed case numbers in China suggest that case detection and reporting has been substantially enhanced in recent days. With further refinements and expansion of surveillance (for instance, to primary care providers) it is to be hoped that the differences between our estimates and official case numbers will lessen further. Given the increasing evidence for human-to-human transmission, enhancing rapid case detection will be essential if the outbreak is to be controlled. 17 January 2020 - Imperial College London Report 1: Estimating the potential total number of novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) cases in Wuhan City, China (Download Report 1) Natsuko Imai, Ilaria Dorigatti, Anne Cori, Steven Riley, Neil M. Ferguson WHO Collaborating Centre for Infectious Disease Modelling MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis, J-IDEA, Imperial College London, UK Correspondence: neil.ferguson@imperial.ac.uk Summary Report 1 Many aspects of the novel Wuhan coronavirus outbreak are highly uncertain. However, the detection of three cases outside China (two in Thailand, one in Japan) is worrying. We calculate, based on flight and population data, that there is only a 1 in 574 chance that a person infected in Wuhan would travel overseas before they sought medical care. This implies there might have been over 1700 (3 x 574) cases in Wuhan so far. There are many unknowns, meaning the uncertainty range around this estimate goes from 190 cases to over 4000. But the magnitude of these numbers suggests that substantial human to human transmission cannot be ruled out. Heightened surveillance, prompt information sharing and enhanced preparedness are recommended.
Fatima apparitions ended Oct 1917. Spanish flu begins at approx Jan 1918. Sr Sasagawa of Akita issues a warning October 2019 This flu begins Jan 2020.
Should I order some virus masks for my family now while they are available on Amazon? Not sure how effective they might be against this virus?
I have 2 whole unopened boxes of them from the SARS scare a couple of years ago. I guess whatever makes you feel good!
For the most part, Amazon.com has been sold out of masks for days. You might be able to find some very expensive ones though.
I picked up a box of masks a few days ago. I've heard they are not 100% effective, but they can offer some protection. I just recovered from a very bad flu, so I didn't need much encouragement to buy the masks. Hope we never need them, but I figured better safe than sorry. I would like to add that I am considered the 'hygiene queen' at my house; disinfecting everything, and washing my hands constantly, yet I still got sick. That said, there is only so much you can do.
The flu your friend has sounds suspicious FS. The kidneys failing is one of the extreme effects of this chinese flu. What you describe having yourself sounds like what I have. Exactly. Hmmmm.
To be honest there is no material refuge from this scourge..and it is a Judgement. If you have a particular reason to cling to life, go to Our Lady and place the reasons before her in prayer. If you are a mother , well then she was a Mother too. As to anything else, attend mass frequently, go to confession as often as you can. But.
