Your Money\u2019s Infected<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Follow the money. In 2017, the World Bank created a bond-purchase program that would be used to finance the Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility. Investors would receive a payday if the World Health Organization (WHO) officially recognized a pandemic before the bonds matured. Care to guess when they mature? July of 2020. In mid-March, WHO officially named COVID-19 a pandemic\u2026 now see where the money goes and you\u2019ll see who pulls the strings. . After all, Dr. Michael Ryan of the WHO said this: \u201cAll Predictions are important. Most predictions are wrong. And I think we must be careful with that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China and Russia are coercing the media to exaggerate the \u201cflu season\u201d. They want to create an economic disaster so they can buy stocks and bonds at deflated prices. The goal is to expand their communistic sphere of influence. In collusion are the Democratic National Party, ready to dump the blame on Trump to make him look inept and villainous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Really Happening<\/strong>?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The epidemic story explodes in the press: \u201cThe virus is spreading\u201d and \u201cContainment will be impossible\u201d are top news stories. New cases inundate resources in other countries. Cruise ships with patients onboard are returning to the United States. Fear follows, panic on its heels. The stores clear out of water and supplies. Panic intensifies, but never fear! Big Pharma has a vaccine; it\u2019s expensive, but the government is subsidizing the cost. It\u2019ll just have to raise taxes to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, Dean Koontz warned us about the pandemic and this conspiracy in his 1981 novel, The Eyes of Darkness<\/em>, about a man-made virus with a 100-percent fatality rate. The name of the virus: Wuhan-400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the truth. Know what\u2019s right. And above all else, don\u2019t take off your tinfoil hat. They\u2019ll see you otherwise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, China has locked down 750 million citizens and is greatly under-reporting the number the virus has killed as part of the cover-up. Since it\u2019s a biological weapon, it's designed to kill via a host of genetically modified strains of diseases. An example is encephalitis, which shuts down your immune system. It can spread without symptoms and also hide on bacteria. It is transported on most anything. You can get it multiple times, each worse than the one before it. The virus won\u2019t kill you, but pneumonia will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coronavirus conspiracy began with the first reported cases in December of 2019, and these cases were mostly related to the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan where anteater-like pangolins were sold for their medicinal scales. The market closed on Jan. 1 after it was discovered that pangolins play host to the virus. Scientists at Wuhan infected the popular delicacy with the coronavirus to study its effects in a real-world situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, China has locked down 750 million citizens and is greatly under-reporting the number the virus has killed as part of the cover-up. Since it\u2019s a biological weapon, it's designed to kill via a host of genetically modified strains of diseases. An example is encephalitis, which shuts down your immune system. It can spread without symptoms and also hide on bacteria. It is transported on most anything. You can get it multiple times, each worse than the one before it.

Most of the Coronavirus conspiracy theories trace their origins to Wuhan China, the epicenter of the initial outbreak. Wuhan has an infectious disease lab where the virus may have been smuggled to from Canada (with help from Chinese scientists at the University of Manitoba). The cover-up of the loss of the virus to China began with the \u201caccidental\u201d shooting down of Flight PS752 on Jan. 8, 2020. Canadians were aboard the flight, and many were students and professors from the University of Manitoba from the microbiology department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamaica refuses to allow cruise ships to dock. People in Hong Kong have stopped shaking hands, and Amazon sellers are price gouging. At Walgreens and CVS, hand sanitizers are out of stock, and elsewhere, people are filtering their air through Playtex pads duct taped to their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the Coronavirus conspiracy theories trace their origins to Wuhan China, the epicenter of the initial outbreak. Wuhan has an infectious disease lab where the virus may have been smuggled to from Canada (with help from Chinese scientists at the University of Manitoba). The cover-up of the loss of the virus to China began with the \u201caccidental\u201d shooting down of Flight PS752 on Jan. 8, 2020. Canadians were aboard the flight, and many were students and professors from the University of Manitoba from the microbiology department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Cases<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Coronavirus conspiracy began with the first reported cases in December of 2019, and these cases were mostly related to the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan where anteater-like pangolins were sold for their medicinal scales. The market closed on Jan. 1 after it was discovered that pangolins play host to the virus. Scientists at Wuhan infected the popular delicacy with the coronavirus to study its effects in a real-world situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, China has locked down 750 million citizens and is greatly under-reporting the number the virus has killed as part of the cover-up. Since it\u2019s a biological weapon, it's designed to kill via a host of genetically modified strains of diseases. An example is encephalitis, which shuts down your immune system. It can spread without symptoms and also hide on bacteria. It is transported on most anything. You can get it multiple times, each worse than the one before it. The virus won\u2019t kill you, but pneumonia will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Is Everybody?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since the introduction of the virus, the \u201c1 percent\u201d of the world like Bezos, Gates, the Clintons and Zuckerberg have been conspicuously absent from the public sight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coronavirus conspiracy was developed to ban public events, like protests in Hong Kong, revoking people\u2019s freedoms around the world. Stay indoors. Listen to what we tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Money\u2019s Infected<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Follow the money. In 2017, the World Bank created a bond-purchase program that would be used to finance the Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility. Investors would receive a payday if the World Health Organization (WHO) officially recognized a pandemic before the bonds matured. Care to guess when they mature? July of 2020. In mid-March, WHO officially named COVID-19 a pandemic\u2026 now see where the money goes and you\u2019ll see who pulls the strings. . After all, Dr. Michael Ryan of the WHO said this: \u201cAll Predictions are important. Most predictions are wrong. And I think we must be careful with that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China and Russia are coercing the media to exaggerate the \u201cflu season\u201d. They want to create an economic disaster so they can buy stocks and bonds at deflated prices. The goal is to expand their communistic sphere of influence. In collusion are the Democratic National Party, ready to dump the blame on Trump to make him look inept and villainous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Really Happening<\/strong>?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The epidemic story explodes in the press: \u201cThe virus is spreading\u201d and \u201cContainment will be impossible\u201d are top news stories. New cases inundate resources in other countries. Cruise ships with patients onboard are returning to the United States. Fear follows, panic on its heels. The stores clear out of water and supplies. Panic intensifies, but never fear! Big Pharma has a vaccine; it\u2019s expensive, but the government is subsidizing the cost. It\u2019ll just have to raise taxes to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, Dean Koontz warned us about the pandemic and this conspiracy in his 1981 novel, The Eyes of Darkness<\/em>, about a man-made virus with a 100-percent fatality rate. The name of the virus: Wuhan-400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the truth. Know what\u2019s right. And above all else, don\u2019t take off your tinfoil hat. They\u2019ll see you otherwise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coronavirus conspiracy began with the first reported cases in December of 2019, and these cases were mostly related to the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan where anteater-like pangolins were sold for their medicinal scales. The market closed on Jan. 1 after it was discovered that pangolins play host to the virus. Scientists at Wuhan infected the popular delicacy with the coronavirus to study its effects in a real-world situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, China has locked down 750 million citizens and is greatly under-reporting the number the virus has killed as part of the cover-up. Since it\u2019s a biological weapon, it's designed to kill via a host of genetically modified strains of diseases. An example is encephalitis, which shuts down your immune system. It can spread without symptoms and also hide on bacteria. It is transported on most anything. You can get it multiple times, each worse than the one before it. The virus won\u2019t kill you, but pneumonia will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Is Everybody?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since the introduction of the virus, the \u201c1 percent\u201d of the world like Bezos, Gates, the Clintons and Zuckerberg have been conspicuously absent from the public sight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coronavirus conspiracy was developed to ban public events, like protests in Hong Kong, revoking people\u2019s freedoms around the world. Stay indoors. Listen to what we tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Money\u2019s Infected<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Follow the money. In 2017, the World Bank created a bond-purchase program that would be used to finance the Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility. Investors would receive a payday if the World Health Organization (WHO) officially recognized a pandemic before the bonds matured. Care to guess when they mature? July of 2020. In mid-March, WHO officially named COVID-19 a pandemic\u2026 now see where the money goes and you\u2019ll see who pulls the strings. . After all, Dr. Michael Ryan of the WHO said this: \u201cAll Predictions are important. Most predictions are wrong. And I think we must be careful with that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China and Russia are coercing the media to exaggerate the \u201cflu season\u201d. They want to create an economic disaster so they can buy stocks and bonds at deflated prices. The goal is to expand their communistic sphere of influence. In collusion are the Democratic National Party, ready to dump the blame on Trump to make him look inept and villainous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Really Happening<\/strong>?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The epidemic story explodes in the press: \u201cThe virus is spreading\u201d and \u201cContainment will be impossible\u201d are top news stories. New cases inundate resources in other countries. Cruise ships with patients onboard are returning to the United States. Fear follows, panic on its heels. The stores clear out of water and supplies. Panic intensifies, but never fear! Big Pharma has a vaccine; it\u2019s expensive, but the government is subsidizing the cost. It\u2019ll just have to raise taxes to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, Dean Koontz warned us about the pandemic and this conspiracy in his 1981 novel, The Eyes of Darkness<\/em>, about a man-made virus with a 100-percent fatality rate. The name of the virus: Wuhan-400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the rich get richer. (Insert old man Gates\u2019 evil laugh here.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories Abound<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During times of uncertainty, fear and crisis in society, conspiracy theories usually sprout their duplicitous heads like a Hydra; dispel one and two take root in its place. Conspiracies are a way that people cope with the extreme uncertainty of the events, as they have difficulty coming to terms with something so large happening without an overlord pulling the strings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the flu can\u2019t just be the flu. Zika was a bioweapon. The Black Plague was blamed on the Jews. 27 percent of the people in France believe that the government is hiding any harmful effects of vaccines. Conspiracies suggest that there are larger actors at play here, all cleverly crafting a coordinated con to create chaos and confusion. The Dow Jones plummeted. Gold prices fell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamaica refuses to allow cruise ships to dock. People in Hong Kong have stopped shaking hands, and Amazon sellers are price gouging. At Walgreens and CVS, hand sanitizers are out of stock, and elsewhere, people are filtering their air through Playtex pads duct taped to their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the Coronavirus conspiracy theories trace their origins to Wuhan China, the epicenter of the initial outbreak. Wuhan has an infectious disease lab where the virus may have been smuggled to from Canada (with help from Chinese scientists at the University of Manitoba). The cover-up of the loss of the virus to China began with the \u201caccidental\u201d shooting down of Flight PS752 on Jan. 8, 2020. Canadians were aboard the flight, and many were students and professors from the University of Manitoba from the microbiology department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market closed on Jan. 1 after it was discovered that pangolins play host to the virus. Scientists at Wuhan infected the popular delicacy with the coronavirus to study its effects in a real-world situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, China has locked down 750 million citizens and is greatly under-reporting the number the virus has killed as part of the cover-up. Since it\u2019s a biological weapon, it's designed to kill via a host of genetically modified strains of diseases. An example is encephalitis, which shuts down your immune system. It can spread without symptoms and also hide on bacteria. It is transported on most anything. You can get it multiple times, each worse than the one before it. The virus won\u2019t kill you, but pneumonia will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Is Everybody?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since the introduction of the virus, the \u201c1 percent\u201d of the world like Bezos, Gates, the Clintons and Zuckerberg have been conspicuously absent from the public sight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coronavirus conspiracy was developed to ban public events, like protests in Hong Kong, revoking people\u2019s freedoms around the world. Stay indoors. Listen to what we tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Money\u2019s Infected<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Follow the money. In 2017, the World Bank created a bond-purchase program that would be used to finance the Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility. Investors would receive a payday if the World Health Organization (WHO) officially recognized a pandemic before the bonds matured. Care to guess when they mature? July of 2020. In mid-March, WHO officially named COVID-19 a pandemic\u2026 now see where the money goes and you\u2019ll see who pulls the strings. . After all, Dr. Michael Ryan of the WHO said this: \u201cAll Predictions are important. Most predictions are wrong. And I think we must be careful with that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China and Russia are coercing the media to exaggerate the \u201cflu season\u201d. They want to create an economic disaster so they can buy stocks and bonds at deflated prices. The goal is to expand their communistic sphere of influence. In collusion are the Democratic National Party, ready to dump the blame on Trump to make him look inept and villainous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Really Happening<\/strong>?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The epidemic story explodes in the press: \u201cThe virus is spreading\u201d and \u201cContainment will be impossible\u201d are top news stories. New cases inundate resources in other countries. Cruise ships with patients onboard are returning to the United States. Fear follows, panic on its heels. The stores clear out of water and supplies. Panic intensifies, but never fear! Big Pharma has a vaccine; it\u2019s expensive, but the government is subsidizing the cost. It\u2019ll just have to raise taxes to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, Dean Koontz warned us about the pandemic and this conspiracy in his 1981 novel, The Eyes of Darkness<\/em>, about a man-made virus with a 100-percent fatality rate. The name of the virus: Wuhan-400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the truth. Know what\u2019s right. And above all else, don\u2019t take off your tinfoil hat. They\u2019ll see you otherwise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conspiracy theories are NOT FACTS and the article below is meant to be satire. Question everything and make sure to follow REAL world updates in the coming weeks on our sister sites BallisticMag.com<\/a> and RealWorldSurvivor.com<\/a>. Stay safe, stay healthy and try to keep a sense of humor in these uncertain times. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put on your tinfoil hat ... it's showtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banks in China are destroying potentially infected cash. Dogs are in quarantine. Whole cities are closing down, and Bill Gates is standing in the wings, the strings of the world\u2019s great puppets clinched in his fists. His bioweapon\u2014fresh from the Wuhan laboratory test tubes\u2014has been unleashed on an unsuspecting globe of people who will all need his expensive antidote. Ahem, I meant \u201cvaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the rich get richer. (Insert old man Gates\u2019 evil laugh here.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories Abound<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During times of uncertainty, fear and crisis in society, conspiracy theories usually sprout their duplicitous heads like a Hydra; dispel one and two take root in its place. Conspiracies are a way that people cope with the extreme uncertainty of the events, as they have difficulty coming to terms with something so large happening without an overlord pulling the strings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the flu can\u2019t just be the flu. Zika was a bioweapon. The Black Plague was blamed on the Jews. 27 percent of the people in France believe that the government is hiding any harmful effects of vaccines. Conspiracies suggest that there are larger actors at play here, all cleverly crafting a coordinated con to create chaos and confusion. The Dow Jones plummeted. Gold prices fell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamaica refuses to allow cruise ships to dock. People in Hong Kong have stopped shaking hands, and Amazon sellers are price gouging. At Walgreens and CVS, hand sanitizers are out of stock, and elsewhere, people are filtering their air through Playtex pads duct taped to their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the Coronavirus conspiracy theories trace their origins to Wuhan China, the epicenter of the initial outbreak. Wuhan has an infectious disease lab where the virus may have been smuggled to from Canada (with help from Chinese scientists at the University of Manitoba). The cover-up of the loss of the virus to China began with the \u201caccidental\u201d shooting down of Flight PS752 on Jan. 8, 2020. Canadians were aboard the flight, and many were students and professors from the University of Manitoba from the microbiology department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out what antigen is making people sick and then develop a serum to stop it. But in reality, the process is far from simple, quick, or cheap. It cost millions of dollars annually to develop the vaccine to the new flu season. No doubt, it will be just as expensive to develop a coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine. And it will take months to unveil a working vaccine that is safe for use.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"12193\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n

The Coronavirus Vaccine and a Production 101<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nUnderstanding how vaccines work is a good start to this equation. Check out Real World Survivor's piece<\/a> on the subject for a quick introduction.\r\n\r\nScientists first must grow the virus in a controlled state. This usually involves containing the virus within a chicken egg. Once isolated, the virus is weakened (or inactivated\/killed) so they cannot easily reproduce inside the body. For example, the rubella virus usually reproduces itself thousands of times inside the body, but a weakened version will produce perhaps only 20 copies. Once contained, scientists isolate the antigens that best illicit a response of the immune system.\r\n\r\nIn the case of the flu virus, scientists purify and stabilize the antigens with preservatives to strengthens their ability to enhance the immune response. In a perfect world, companies then mass produce and distribute the resulting solution to a waiting population.\r\n

The Red Tape<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nThe problem with vaccines is that some people might react differently to them, whereas some need more or less of the vaccine in order for it to properly work. The development of a new vaccine is a three-phase process involving trials, trials, and trials. In the first phase, it is given to small groups of people who have specific characteristics that allow them to be ideal candidates to study the initial affects. If there is a positive outcome, the number of people increases in the second phase of testing. Finally, Phase III involves thousands of people. During this time, which can take years of trials, scientists monitor the volunteers closely for adverse reactions.\r\n

The Coronavirus Vaccine<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nSince this new version of the coronavirus<\/a> was recognized, dozens of pharmaceutical companies around the world began research to develop a vaccine that will stop it. One such company, Massachusetts-based biotechnology company Moderna Inc., is working with the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) to begin developing its candidate. Called mRNA-1273, the potential vaccine was first injected into 45 trial patients Monday in hopes of quickly finding a cure. They will each receive two doses about six weeks apart as the first phase of the study. Phase 1 of this study was funded, in part, by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)\r\n\r\n\u201cEven if the research goes well,\u201d Dr. Anthony Fauci of NIH told ABC News, \u201ca vaccine wouldn\u2019t be available for widespread use for 12 to 18 months.\u201d\r\n\r\nIn the scope of a life and death virus that is circling the globe, that's an eternity. But in comparison to other vaccines currently in development for other diseases, this is a quick timeline. In a statement earlier in the week, Fauci remarked that the new study \u201claunched in record speed.\u201d\r\n

Finding Spike<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nCoronaviruses like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), as well as COVID-19 are spherical and have spikes protruding from their surface; this gives the viruses a thistle-like appearance. The spikes bind to human cells which allow them to break inside and destroy the cell.\r\n\r\nScientists were already were working on a vaccine that targeted the spike in the MERS disease; this provided a head start for developing a vaccine candidate to fight against COVID-19. Once the genetic information of COVID-19 was parsed from samples, the scientists quickly discovered the spike protein of the virus in the existing mRNA material. This is where the potential vaccine, mRNA-1273, gets its name. The objective for the vaccine is to search the molecules in the infected host for spikes. When it finds them, it kills the cell.\r\n

The Timeframe for a <\/strong>Coronavirus <\/strong>Vaccine<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nTeams in labs have been working around the clock in an effort to get this far in the process. Lisa Jackson, the study leader at Kaiser Permanente in Seattle\u2014part of the team that is administering mRNA-1273\u2014told the Associated Press, \u201cGoing from not even knowing that this virus was out there ... to have any vaccine\u201d in testing in about two months is unprecedented.\r\n\r\n\u201cFinding a safe and effective vaccine to prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2 is an urgent public health priority,\u201d NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. said. \u201cThis Phase 1 study, launched in record speed, is an important first step toward achieving that goal.\u201d\r\n\r\nEven though dozens of companies are working feverishly to develop a vaccine, it will take months and even up to a year to roll out usable and safe vaccines for the general public; and that is if they hurry. More trials need to be conducted. More research needs to take place. Ultimately, the vaccine needs to be safe. Until then, the only way to keep COVID-19 from spreading is by washing your hands, adhering to quarantine suggestions, and maintaining social distancing.","post_title":"Coronavirus Vaccine: What's the Timeline for Something Viable?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"coronavirus-vaccine-timeline","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:15:47","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:15:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/03\/18\/coronavirus-vaccine-timeline\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":2928,"post_author":"373","post_date":"2020-03-18 12:43:28","post_date_gmt":"2020-03-18 16:43:28","post_content":"I\u2019m nothing special, just a worker nug \u2014 a family doctor in an urgent care clinic in a small southern town in the COVID-19 era. I go to work, put on my PPC (Personal Protective Crap), and try my best to take care of the sick people. However, I am growing increasingly weary of all the well-intentioned ignorance<\/a> from the talking heads both within government and without. Please allow me to explain as it relates to the coronavirus test.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"12218\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n

The Coronavirus Test and Pertinent Terminology<\/h2>\r\nCOVID-19 is the disease. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus. There are several promising testing technologies in the pipeline. However, the accepted standard today is called Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR).\r\n\r\nRT-PCR is breathtakingly complicated and fairly cumbersome. To all the folks screaming that this should have happened yesterday, tossing blame isn\u2019t going to help. Of course everybody needs a villain, but this is war<\/a>. Can we stop fixating on the blasted election long enough to work together to save our country? RT-PCR is complicated technology. It takes time to apply it to hundreds of thousands of people.\r\n\r\nWhat is most pertinent here is the capacity of the test to rule in or rule out the disease. Folks in the biz call this a test\u2019s Positive Predictive Value and its Negative Predictive Value. Positive Predictive Value means if the test is positive you have the disease. That\u2019s indeed very important for contact tracing. However, at this point in the outbreak, the test\u2019s Negative Predictive Value is innately unknowable.\r\n\r\nThe accuracy of the coronavirus test depends upon human factors that are difficult to control. If the sample was not taken properly, was materially inadequate, or was contaminated, then the results are not reliable. Worst case you might have a negative test, but still have the disease.\r\n

The Devil Is Always in the Details<\/h4>\r\nThat\u2019s the dangerous bit. We cannot clear symptomatic people to re-enter the population on the strength of a negative coronavirus test. Ergo, the tests are fairly useless at the user level where I work at this particular point in the epidemic. It takes days to get the results anyway. Folks need to get their heads around that and stop fixating on tests. Symptomatic patients with negative testing who re-enter the world too soon could eventually kill somebody.\r\n\r\nSuspicious symptoms include fever greater than or equal to 100.4, and respiratory symptoms like cough or shortness of breath. If a patient has these symptoms they need to isolate for 14 days. In the context of this pandemic, if symptomatic they need to isolate even if they test negative.\r\n\r\nThere is no treatment for this wretched thing anyway, so it isn't like test results change your therapy. You treat this disease symptomatically based upon severity. It's not like strep throat where a positive test means antibiotics and a negative test doesn\u2019t.\r\n\r\nDon\u2019t misunderstand, there are certainly places and circumstances wherein testing for this disease is very important. It is simply that those places and circumstances are not where I live today. Testing will be pertinent to the epidemiologists in retrospect. It matters for contact tracing. It will also matter once we really start stamping out the fire. Right now, however, maintaining separation seems infinitely more important than test status. Separate first and test as able; in my world that is the narrative.\r\n

How Test Fixation Can Actually Be Harmful<\/h4>\r\nThe worried well are driving us crazy. Distraught soccer moms and verklempt helicopter dads juiced on 24\/7 coronavirus news coverage are rabid to get tested. We have had folks present without symptoms saying their employers will not let them come back to work without a negative test. This is well-intentioned ignorance, but it can also be very dangerous.\r\n\r\nThese folks will walk into a building full of sick people. We will do our best to keep everybody safe. However, if they weren't sick when they got there, they might be when they leave.\r\n\r\nCome to the doctor if you have significant respiratory symptoms and fevers. Go to the ER with significant shortness of breath or chest pain. Test status will indeed make a difference there. If the symptoms are mild, then treat the fevers with Tylenol, isolate from loved ones as best you can, and wait it out. Approximately 80 percent of COVID-19 victims should have relatively mild symptoms that resolve with time. The best thing they can do is stay isolated so they don\u2019t give it to anybody else.\r\n

The Long Pole in the Tent<\/h4>\r\nIn my world\u2014right now at least\u2014the limiting reagent is not testing capability, it is transport media. The labs can do the tests, but test supplies are critical national resources. Our viral transport tubes are the same things we use to culture genital herpes. Thankfully we haven't had to do that on a massive scale, so we don\u2019t stock just scads of those. At my clinic we begged a bunch from the nearby GYN clinic because they're the herpes kings. However, these testing materials will inevitably catch up eventually.\r\n\r\nThis is the United States of Freaking America. We invented the microchip, put men on the moon, and kicked the Nazis\u2019 teeth in. Once we get tooled up, we will test everybody on the planet twice along with their dogs, cats, hamsters, and goldfish for SARS-CoV-2. However, for the time being we all need to chill out and do what we\u2019re told. We Americans are great at a lot of stuff, but we suck at that.\r\n\r\nTake social distancing<\/a> seriously. Don\u2019t go out and mingle with folks. Shelter in place<\/a> if that's the order. Maintain some space when you do have to go out in public. And for Heaven\u2019s sake, wash your hands.\r\n\r\nStay home and separate from your family if you get sick. Go to the hospital only if symptoms are severe, and use this entire experience to re-evaluate some things. Catch up on your reading and spend some quality time with your kids. Try praying. Life is precious, and we have been taking it for granted.","post_title":"Coronavirus Test: It Could Kill Somebody If We Do It Wrong","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"coronavirus-test-could-kill-somebody","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:15:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:15:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/03\/18\/coronavirus-test-could-kill-somebody\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":126666,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-03-18 10:58:25","post_date_gmt":"2020-03-18 14:58:25","post_content":"The National Guard reported on Tuesday that 1,560 members were now active in 22 states.

National Guard Activated in 22 States<\/h2>\nNew York grabbed early headlines, setting up a quarantine area in New Rochelle. Guard members continue to work with state and local officials there, distributing food, disinfecting public spaces and helping run mobile screening facilities, according to a National Guard release<\/a>.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re here screening the community, trying to keep the community safe and trying to stop the spread of the virus,\u201d said Army Pfc. Justin Zammit, with the New York Army National Guard\u2019s 369th Sustainment Brigade, who was working at a mobile screening facility in New Rochelle, New York.\n\nNew York now leads the nation in confirmed cases with 1,717, including 16 reported deaths as of Wednesday morning, according to Johns Hopkins<\/a>. Like much of the country, New York finally closed all schools, and grocery store shelves are empty. The New York Guard is helping distribute food to those who need it most.\n

Making a Difference in New Rochelle<\/h4>\n\u201cThe community is extremely happy that we\u2019re out here,\u201d said Army Sgt. Corey Smith, with the New York Army Guard\u2019s 1156th Engineer Company, according to a National Guard release. \u201cThey\u2019ve been sharing stories with us about how tough it\u2019s been for them getting food at the grocery store.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re all very happy to be here,\u201d he added. \u201cWe\u2019re just here to help out, hand out food and make sure everybody feels comfortable and safe.\u201d\n\nIn New Rochelle, the Guard works with the local Housing Authority to distribute food, setting up in prominent locations throughout the community.\n\n\u201cWe have canned fruit and vegetables,\u201d said Smith, according to a National Guard release. \u201cWe have bags of rice, pancake mix, granola bars and assorted non-perishable items.\u201d\n\nMeanwhile, the guard members themselves fight to protect themselves. First responders and other front line volunteers and workers pose some of the biggest risks to spreading the disease. However, their work on the ground remains essential.\n\n\u201cWe have gloves,\u201d Smith said, according to a National Guard release. \u201cWe do have hand sanitizer on ground that we can use at any time.\n\nSmith continued, \"We have sanitizer on hand and when we do the screening process the windows of the vehicles are closed. We\u2019re trying to minimize contact between us and possibly infected individuals.\u201d\n\nShould the virus continue to spread as some experts predict, we could see the National Guard activated across the country. Only time will tell if closures and social distancing practices curb the spread of COVID-19<\/a>.","post_title":"1,560 National Guard Members Now Activated in 22 States","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"national-guard-activated-22-states","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:15:07","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:15:07","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/03\/18\/national-guard-activated-22-states\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11946,"post_author":"249","post_date":"2020-03-18 06:00:35","post_date_gmt":"2020-03-18 10:00:35","post_content":"I\u2019m writing this in the early stages of the COVID-19<\/a> virus panic. Schools are empty, theaters are shut down, many restaurants are closed and whole areas are under \u201cself-isolation\u201d orders. In many jurisdictions, police are only responding to emergencies. Manpower among the emergency services is thin.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"118751\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n

Self-Defense Shootings Through History<\/h2>\r\nChatter around the cracker barrel or on the Internet indicates many people believe that in times of such disaster, law is somehow suspended just because the cops can\u2019t be there. Nothing is further from the truth. The rules governing justifiable deadly force are the same.\r\n\r\nHistory shows that such situations in this country will inevitably run their course and society will rebuild. Police will inevitably investigate shootings that occurred during the disaster. To make matters worse, if a justified shooting has occurred during the disaster in a community run by anti-gun politicians<\/a>, they might feel a need to pillory honest citizens who did the right thing by making it look as if they became \u201cself-appointed vigilantes.\u201d\r\n

Self-Defense Shootings <\/strong>Case No.1: \"A Rage of Fear\"<\/h3>\r\nCase One <\/strong>took place in the Miami area after one of Florida\u2019s devastating hurricanes. A wealthy young professional man bought a gun \u201cfor protection\u201d but didn\u2019t bother with training and never even fired his new revolver, a Smith & Wesson Model 640. Shaken by the storm, which had caused significant damage to his home, he called in repairmen to fix the damage.\r\n\r\nEarly one morning, he was awakened when a vehicle pulled up in front of his home. In the pre-dawn light, he saw through his window someone coming toward his house, holding an object. Panicking, he assumed it was armed looters and grabbed his gun. He fired out the window and shot one of the workmen he had forgotten he had summoned to come to repair the damage. The .38 Special bullet permanently injured the victim.\r\n

Shooter Avoids Charges<\/h4>\r\nSomehow, the shooter managed to avoid being indicted criminally. He was, however, sued. In pre-trial deposition, he said he had fired in \u201ca rage of fear.\u201d He admitted that he had never fired his new revolver until the moment in question and had never sought firearms training in any way, shape or form. In fact, he became indignant about it, saying in effect that, after all, it wasn\u2019t as if he was going to go hunting or anything. He claimed he had meant the round he fired to be a warning shot, but admitted he never aimed the gun in a safe direction, just pulled the trigger.\r\n\r\nAfter the deposition, his disheartened attorneys advised him to settle the case. They did. The amount of the settlement, I\u2019m told, was huge and would have bankrupted most people.\r\n\r\nLessons from Case One? Don\u2019t let panic override common sense. Identify the target positively as a threat before you drop the hammer! <\/em>Another lesson: Wishful thinking does not guide a bullet! <\/em>Even among people who have been trained in unaimed fire, point shooting has a spotty record in the field. If you can\u2019t see where the bullet is going to go, hold your fire! Finally, Case One illustrates the dangers of people who don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing with guns. In times of disaster, your non-gun-owning friends will very likely ask to borrow a gun from you. Do both of you a favor, and even if it may be legal to do so in your particular jurisdiction, don\u2019t lend them a deadly weapon unless you know <\/em>they\u2019re competent with such and are cool-headed in emergencies.\r\n

Case No.2: Emergencies Bring Guns Out<\/h3>\r\nThe case we just discussed has a lot in common with Self-Defense Shootings Case Two. <\/strong>Again, it involved a weather disaster that caused structural damage to the premises where the shooting occurred, in this case, the roof of a restaurant. Repairs were underway when the restaurant opened for business.\r\n\r\nIn the kitchen, restaurant employees excitedly discussed the ordeal they had all just been through, and talk turned to self-protection. One of the employees mentioned his self-defense gun, a 9mm Beretta 92, which he happened to still be carrying. A co-worker asked to see it.\r\n\r\nYou\u2019ve probably already guessed what happened. The gun was unloaded out of sequence, with the round ejected from the chamber and then <\/em>the full magazine removed\u2014the opposite of the proper unloading protocol. Of course, the act of jacking out the chambered cartridge had fed another into the firing chamber, and the gun was still live with a torpedo in the launch tube when it changed hands.\r\n

Unintended Consiquences<\/h4>\r\nA restaurant worker aimed the gun at the ceiling to \u201ctry the action\u201d and pulled the trigger. BANG! The bullet tore through the ceiling and through the roof above it and into the body of the roofer who was up there doing repairs. The workman was permanently crippled by the gunshot wound. That case, too, was settled out of court for big bucks.\r\n\r\nThe lessons of Case Two echo those of Case One. Nervous, scared people unfamiliar with guns will be motivated to seek them out in times of panic. Be extra <\/em>careful when one of them even asks<\/em> to see yours. ALWAYS follow Col. Jeff Cooper\u2019s classic Four Rules of Gun Safety, which I would encapsulate as: 1) Consider all guns always loaded, and treat them as such; 2) Don\u2019t point one at anything you are not prepared to see destroyed; 3) Don\u2019t let the finger enter the triggerguard until you are in the very act of intentionally firing the weapon; and 4) Always be sure of your target and what is beyond it. In Case Two, three of those four rules were blatantly violated.\r\n

Case No. 3: Importance of Aftermath Management<\/h3>\r\nWhen society breaks down and emergency personnel such as police can\u2019t get there in a timely manner, even the most justified shooting can be twisted into something wrongful because evidence is likely to be lost before the designated professionals arrive to gather it.\r\n\r\nConsider Self-Defense Shootings<\/strong> Case Three<\/strong>, which occurred in Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina. A police officer was assigned to protect a substation that contained extremely sensitive confidential records. With all the looting that was occurring, he was strictly ordered not to leave the building for any reason until he was relieved. He was on the second story when he saw a car pull up and two apparent looters emerge and move briskly toward the building, one holding a handgun.\r\n\r\nWhen the officer shouted an appropriate command, the suspect swung his gun toward the cop, who fired a single shot from his privately-owned, department-approved SIG 556 patrol rifle. Hit in the torso, the gunman dropped his weapon and ran to the car with his accomplice, who drove him away. Because there was no longer a deadly threat, the officer appropriately held his fire and didn\u2019t discharge more than the single round. The man he shot was later found dead.\r\n

Officer Charged, Convicted, Then Finally Acquitted<\/h4>\r\nHe immediately radioed in what had happened and was told that investigators and evidence technicians would respond when they could. Because police resources were spread so terribly thin during the hurricane, that took a very long time. Under orders to stay in the building, the officer did not go out to retrieve the dropped weapon. When backup finally got there, the offender\u2019s gun dropped in the street during riotous looting had, of course, disappeared. The officer was charged with murder and convicted. The verdict was later overturned and he was acquitted after his second trial, but he had already served hard time and his police career was gone forever.\r\n\r\nLessons? When overworked cops can\u2019t get there, secure or document the evidence yourself. <\/em>Stand over the dead bad guy\u2019s weapon if you have to. I normally don\u2019t recommend taking pictures or video of self-defense shootings. Why? It makes you look like a serial killer taking a trophy. However, in such emergencies as this one when official response will be greatly delayed, it makes sense to at least photograph perishable evidence before it disappears.","post_title":"A History of Self-Defense Shootings in Times of Widespread Emergency","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"self-defense-shootings-widespread-emergency","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:34:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:34:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/03\/18\/self-defense-shootings-widespread-emergency\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":2932,"post_author":"874","post_date":"2020-03-17 16:52:50","post_date_gmt":"2020-03-17 20:52:50","post_content":"In the midst of the biggest pandemic in recent memory, along with NOT panicking (stop buying toilet paper), staying informed is critical; that's why we're here.
