If masks and washing hands stop the virus, why doesn't government insist that all of us wear some kind of mask in public? Erin, Wuhan is not a mobile area. Also, Wuhan, like all Chinese, calls on the children to honor the parents and that means that the virus will spread when the children honor the parents by visiting them. Read my post on Germany. Erin, are you OK? Is it the bambino who's keeping you up at night? Can I help?

There is incontrovertible evidence that masks and washing hands stops the virus cold; yet, the NIH and Birx are doing nothing to implement masks for people in public.

I'm guessing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was told by Perez that they've got their eyes on her for a future election, and, like a good puppy, AOC dumps Bernie. Never mind that by keeping her support, she could have at least shown the DNC a thing or two about needing to eschew corruption. She is now officially as corrupt as anyone else at the DNC. What a big disappointment this dancing queen is to progressive democratic socialists everywhere. I'll not mention those certain CS's in the media who'll jump at the news to bring Bernie down some more. There are many who won't like what I have to say but it is my considered opinion that the Jews at the Corporate News Network are the ones to blame being as anyone who supports the Palestinian cause as Bernie does, is certainly out to doom Israel and needs to be run over or, God forbid, the Palestinian may get a few acres. You know, Mr. Jew, (Zucker & Bash, for two), if a people are constantly under threat of genocide-...

[Caveat: mostly speculation as I do not have the exact numbers] Germany has one of the lowest unemployment numbers in the world. It seems that German parenting results in children that are self reliant. At the playground, they casually look after their kids from afar--i.e., they do not helicopter like here in the U.S. Also, the German parent allows almost carte blanche when it comes to their kids learning on their own. While we're teaching kids their ABC's, the Germans are still allowing their kids to play their hearts out. The resulting phenomenon, I suspect, results in more empty nests than elsewhere in the world, and an empty nest is one that won't be infected by adult children returning to the sanctuary of the nest. If Germany's immigrant population does not suffer from COVID-19, then we have to say that it is only because German health authorities are doing something right. If the immigrant population suffers, then my theory holds and it is the German empty nes...

It's a no-brainer but it is not being done. If we can order people to wear clothes in public, we can ask them to wear a mask. I wish Governors Cuomo or Murphy would pick a city or borough or county and order everyone there to wear a mask--any mask until we have the resources to provide the currently scarce N95's, and yes, bandanas or any cloth that covers the nose and mouth are acceptable. Additionally, they would hire sanitation workers to sanitize all surfaces touched by people. The U.S. bureaucracy may be taking too long to respond with the right mask policy. The media, stupidly, continues to make the assinine assumption that we'd all be taking away masks from healthcare workers. They should start reading my posts with a more critical eye rather than jump to specious conclusions that do nothing to get the public into the right frame of mind. It is said that BILLIONS of masks are required for healthcare workers. However, only 330 million masks are required for the...

This, so that we can easily compare where we are compared to the rest of the world.

Protecting others is always necessary if you want to stop the spread but since we NEVER know who's infected, ALL must wear masks in public. Unmodified surgical masks do not protect the user but why don't we make the N95 available to all who want them; or, modify the surgical mask as I have done here: What I did was insert a wire frame within the interior border. That allows one to "pinch" the nose. cc: ABC Amy Robach Dr. Jennifer Ashton CNN Dr. Sanjay Gupta

It is an easy number to come up with but it would be best if we could--at a glance--see that worldwide the percentage is 4% while the U.S. is (still) at 1.7% cc:John King CNN

Although it is enticing to ascribe supernatural underpinnings to a virus' raison d'etre, you really only need to embrace common evolution to explain a virus' continued existence. How the first virus arose I'll leave to those who have devoted their lives to the problem. Nevertheless, like any other DNA/RNA containing "organism," the virus wants to reproduce. It has a niche that explodes with resources every time the virus factories (me, you) exceed a certain population density. It's beautifully biblical and there's no denying it. If you, as a species, rape the environment and deplete it of resources because you've decided that being a 'fuck' bunny is the way to go, you're going to go extinct. The virus then comes along and culls certain members of your population; thereby restoring the proper balance. The virus itself then assumes its more staid existence and goes into hiding in a host species that allows it to shed progeny at a slower...

[repeated post] OK, so explain to me why government doesn't demand that everyone wear masks when leaving the home. I'm not an epidemiologist but it seems to me that would stop the virus or rewrite the book on contact tracing. Perhaps we may need to employ many into street maintenance to sanitize common surfaces like handrails, but that also sounds like a win-win. Another plus is that it may doom Corvid-19 to just weeks of mischief instead of months or years. What's the problem here, World? Money? (2T$?) Government overreach? They now tell us we have to wear clothes in public. Sharia law look-alike? Oh, please; but if you must, it's only temporary! The only problem I see with wearing masks in public is two-fold: law enforcement would probably hate the idea (though tech can come to the rescue--yes, even if it means universal ID), and mating rituals (do some Muslims fall in love through just the eyes?) but think of the new cottage industry which will be created to pl...

You've lost all cred with me, Mr. Cooper or do you think that Mrs. Biden, the doctor who seeks the status quo that they all seek will have great insight. Total Bull, sir. I am so disgusted with CNN that it pushes the man with the magic finger (Reade) over a decent man like Bernie Sanders. If there's a God, the CNN movers and shakers like nano-blimp Chalian must get their comeuppance; I can only hope that it comes before the Fucking election. For now, I hope the only ones watching your show, Mr. Anderson, are Biden, Perez, and those morons from South Carolina who started us on the downhill spiral to corruption. cc: CNN nanoBlimp Chalian Anderson Cooper

Why hasn't the CDC told us of the efficacy of Lysol in Covid-19? The stuff seems to work against many deadly viruses. Those nurses who were given one mask per week, might be able to easily sanitize with Lysol, or they can write their names on it and then put them in an autoclave. Instead of GM, the President should have asked GE because they know electrical motors such as are found in all ventilators. cc: Erin Burnett Dr. Fauci Gov. Cuomo Dr. Birx CNN Dr. Gupta

The answer is really simple. Floridians go from the hot, humid beaches back into AIR CONDITIONED buildings. It is there in their cool buildings that the virus thrives. An air-conditioned building mimics the climate at Northern latitudes. At night, the virus is also protected by cool ocean breezes. Spain and Italy probably have the same problem; whereas, Wuhan may have a hotter climate but with little air-conditioning. I don't work for the CDC but, if I did, I'd ask everyone to raise the temperature where they work/live. If you are of the opinion that the high temperatures do not affect the virus directly, read this take on how a sauna can help you avoid viral infections by increasing your immunity: Saunas can fight illness German research has shown that if you’ve got a sniffle, that the sauna is the place to be. Regular steam room use can significantly reduce the chance of contracting colds and flu. As the body is exposed to the high heat of a steam room, more white bl...

I've seen multiple men in healthcare wearing n95 masks over a beard. Do they not see the folly? Those virus particles can maneuver between the hairs. Unless the CDC tells me that Covid-19 sticks to hairs, they should shave. Why bother wearing a mask? So the Corporate News Network (CNN) is having Uncle Joe talking about how he'd have it fixed by now. Yea, will he do it with his magic finger, the same one he inserted into Ms. Reade? I'd like to ask Uncle Joe where the 2 Trillion came from that Trump found? The same massive influx that he said BernieCare would not be able to come up with. What a douche of a nominee and the mainstream media that's shoving him down our throats. Does CNN even know that he hasn't received the nomination yet? Where's Bernie's ideas, CNN? Cover the Ms. Reade story, you low lives! But I don't expect much being as they refuse to cover Hunter Douchebag with any kind of journalistic integrity. I won't be voting for either top...

[caveat, this needs FDA approval and, I am not a doctor] Using typical aquarium air hoses, I'd use some to connect a mask to an aquarium air pump**. I'd attach some sort of manually-adjusted valve to it to adjust the pressure to my comfort level, and...let'r rip. Most CPAPs need to allow for exhalation and without some sort of pressure release, it won't work and may even kill you. The safety measure taken by home CPAP machines is to have an unobstructed orifice somewhere on the mask to release excess pressure.  With this safety feature set to the right size opening, you can use any air compressor but smaller would be better as these are less noisy and easier to keep within manageable pressures. Before attaching the air line to the face mask, I'd run the air through a HEPA filter and clean water--to filter and humidify. This setup is very close to what a CPAP machine is. Later, I'd try to find out how the BIPAP* works and try to "maker" my ch...

In considering the numbers associated with Coronavirus infections across the globe, it occured to me that perhaps it was the humidity in Africa and S. America that held the virus in relative check. I then had to consider temperature--why does the virus prefer colder environs. This blog hopes to make sense of the two physical parameters. First, consider a tiny, etsy, bitsy virus released into the air. It is smaller than most particles in the air. All airborne particles undergo Brownian motion and the motion is directly dependent on temperature--the higher the temperature, the more motion. Picture now the crown on the coronavirus. Can it not be seen that those stalks might be subject to breakage when crashing against those other bigger particles? That, I believe, is the main reason for the virus preferring cold--it, and other microscopic objects in the air, don't vibrate as much. (CDC should investigate efficacy of IR radiation) The humidity angle was a quick attempt to explain E...

Hospital ventilators can easily support two patients. Some of these machines are tailored to the patient's needs but with so many patients needing them, I would think you can find two patients needing similar settings. If worse comes to worst, you can employ an average setting. This would fix the shortage problem we now have but what if you could hook up 4 or more patients to the same machine? I suspect the only reason this hasn't been done yet is that doctors and hospitals are spoiled with--up to now--unlimited funds and every patient had his own machine. Time to think outside the box. Dr. Anthony Fauci Governor Andrew Cuomo Dr. Sanjay Gupta CNN Kate Bolduan, whose father is an MD. This probably does not apply to invasive ventilation being that these machines need to be tailored to the particular patient but these are not the firsts line of defense when it comes to respiratory problems. Other thoughts: what about CPAP machines now being used in homes. Can we find...

He's verbose but after listening to him, you are left with many fewer unanswered questions and you feel a little better about humanity and it's governments. Too bad he can't be on the national stage. I applaud his order to have healthcare workers tested ASAP for antibody titres. This would save enormously on PPE's because those who test positive for antibodies to covid-19 can treat patients without extensive PPE. Governor, this relates to your concern over the lack of social distancing you've observed in the youth: There is a message which is not being promulgated to the youth. In a previous post, I told how the virus infects and how it damages ALL lungs. Here it is in a nutshell: the virus attaches to ACE-2 receptors in the lung. Both virus and ACE-2 receptors get sucked into the cell. Because you've lowered the ACE-2 receptors on the cell surface, events are set in motion that result in less lung surfactant and greater lung fibrosis. Lung surfactant can retu...

Just watched a great video by Dr. Ogan Gurel on how Covid-19 attaches and wreaks havoc on our respiratory system. If you are on Ace inhibitors for Blood Pressure and are considered susceptible to a coronavirus infection, you and your doctor should weigh the risks of continued therapy with an Ace inhibitor. https://youtu.be/PfG-q5opkYs In the event you don't want to watch the video, here's the summary: many tissues of the body have a cell receptor known as Ace-2; although it is found in numerous tissues, it is their presence along the respiratory tract that concerns us here. The receptor targeted by the high blood pressure meds is an Ace-1 but taking an Ace-1 inhibitor has the unfortunate effect of increasing Ace-2 levels. Increased Ace-2 levels would not be a problem if it were not for the fact that Covid-19 attaches to the Ace-2 and drags it along as it uses it to gain access to a cell's interior where the DNA is; and that would not be too much of a problem if ...

And like Brutus, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Inhofe, A.G. Barr, and others, stab Wall St. investors in the back as they sell their stocks to make or protect their tidy profits ahead of everyone else. The ethics committees MUST investigate all who were told about the economic impact of Corvid-19 and then sold their stock shortly after. Mr. Trump must be defending them because he or his family did the same thing. But that's not to say I won't vote for him if Bernie drops out of the race. I'd rather have a baby with no avowed reach than an ornery screw-loose grandpa with ample reach to the button. [on CNN, the Corporate News Network] Peter Alexander was wrong about the "false hope" charges. What is wrong about telling someone that a drug with known virucidal properties is being tested? At the very least, the country's doctors and scientists know about it and who knows if one of them has useful data to contribute. Also, do you not have a greater tenden...

The purpose of the nose and sinuses are to filter the air before it reaches the lungs; if it didn't do this, the lungs would soon be overwhelmed by debris--it's much better to collect all particles and either send them on their way to your stomach where acids would digest, or expel them via a glob of mucus. Therefore, breathe in  only through your nose--never your mouth, because when you breathe in through your mouth, those viral particles get an express trip to your lungs. Furthermore, you should breathe out through your mouth because, that way, a particle which happens to be floating around in your airwaves won't end up sticking to your upper respiratory tract on the reverse trip. As to running, I wouldn't do anything that would increase my respiratory rate--this should be obvious to everyone. Of course, if you are wearing a mask, this is not that important but I'd do it anyway. I heard Mr. Trump say that chloroquine was being considered as treatment. I thi...

I'm an avid supporter and Bernie is looking to talk to supporters this weekend, so, here goes: Mr. Sanders should continue continue the campaign. If he chooses not to continue, he should sue the Corporate News Network (CNN) and/or the DNC for interfering with the will of the people. At least 3 characters at CNN should be deposed. J'accuse that stocky guy, David Chalian; Mr. Number spinner, John Avlon; and the quasi-fascist/neo-corporatist, Erin Burnett. Nano-blimp Chalian was seen to climax on Wolf Blitzer's show as he reported that Joe Biden was ahead in the First Super Tuesday. They are still cleaning up the mess there. Pretty-boy Avalon never missed a chance to show Biden ahead in the numbers. Erin Burnett rudely cut off a Sanders Surrogate just to hear Mayor Pete Buttigieg endorse Biden; something which the world was already aware of. Mr. Perez and Bernie's competitors who all endorsed Biden or, like Warren, remained mum, should be deposed on whether they coll...

What if Seniors get pneumonia because they are mouth-breathers and the virus goes directly to the lungs instead of getting filtered by the nose/sinuses. You still end up with a head cold but maybe by then an adequate immune response has mounted. I got this idea yesterday by seeing the CEO's standing behind Mr. Trump--they were all tight-lipped, not talking or even licking their lips--as if they were told not to breathe through their mouths. I think Mr. Trump will test positive, btw. During one clip, he was looking peaked and speaking hoarsely.

Bernie Sanders gave an empathic speech that was truly presidential. Joe Biden gave a speech no better than Trump's in terms of empathy. There was no substance in Biden's speech; whereas, Bernie went right to all the specifics that will get us out of our present crisis. Sure, Bernie touched upon his signature policy but under a Biden administration, you'd get pretty much what we're getting now under Obamacare. Will he offer an exception, saying that IF a pandemic were to be declared, you'd get free healthcare? Under BernieCare, you may not even need that because citizens would be getting healthcare throughout their lives and they'd be advised to take, i.e., prophylactic Vitamin D which is essential for our immunity. There would be no need for a bureaucracy to declare a pandemic--we'd go to the doctor at the first sign of a viral infection. I saw empathy in Bernie Sander's response; I saw an orchestrated angry response in Biden's. Uncle Joe would h...

He was talking to one member of the bobbsey twins this morning about how Congress is better off with a younger crew. I guess he's in favor of term limits for himself and the other snot noses he helped elect. If he's not a hypocrite, I expect a term-limits bill soon--written by Mr. Moulton. He favors youth so he doesn't start farting inadvertently when he reaches median age--kind of like Swalwell will do more of--the older he gets. But hey, just get the Corporate News Network (CNN) to stop covering the coronavirus and let it kill all the unsuspecting seniors both in Massachusetts and Congress. He, of course, took to the "unfairways" to say how Biden was his man and that he can live with ear hairs as long as they were still able to hear his message. But listen to why Mr. Moulton favors Biden. It seems that Biden went out of his way to help Moulton win his congressional seat. I wonder if the quid pro quo that so envelopes everything in Congress was lost on the juni...

I found it in Trump supporter WOR NY radio. This is the local station that carries Rush Limbaugh. It was they that pointed out the corruption of the DNC in getting Klobuchar and Buttigieg to quit right before Super Tuesday. Do you think they opted out based on entrance polling? No, these low-lives were asked by douchebag Tom Perez to drop out in exchange for something.   This blog is an attempt to get the American populace EDUCATED; educated so that they can vote their heart and mind and not what some dirtbag like Clyburn demands of them. Clyburn is so much up the party's ass that he can smell their corrupt breath--and, he loves the stench from both ends. Can we not see how Wall St. is horrified by the likes of a Sanders presidency; so much so, that one of their own was pushed into spending nearly a BILLION dollars to stop Bernie. Now, little Caesar's money will surely go to smiling Joe--El Corrupto.  The end result, I suspect, will be that Trump gets reelected beca...

Yep, they're trying every trick in their deceptive toolbox to propel Smiley Joe Biden with the accusatory wagging finger into prominence. Go ahead, get Mr. Trump reelected. You'll do it one of two ways. By getting Berners and Independents to vote against Biden OR when Giuliani comes back with the Hunter dirt and America says "we've seen enough corruption" and sits it out unable to decide which is the lesser of the two evils, Smiley or Smirky. When the mainstream media loses journalistic integrity, we all lose, and don't think your tricks are not as evident as shit. Like last night when Marianne Williamson was talking about how she supports Bernie Sanders and was rudely interrupted by the host to go hear if Buttigieg and Biden were going to say something negative about Bernie during a live action event for Biden which was populated by a handful of supporters jammed into the corner of the building to imitate the semblance of a following. That would have been t...

He's vindictive. We should be glad that he's opting out. It doesn't surprise me that he loves corrupt Biden. No doubt he blames Bernie for his troubles; Bernie, who called him out repeatedly for accepting billionaire funding. Perhaps Biden will take Mayor Pete's mullah in exchange for a spot in his administration--so sad. I'm no pundit but what makes him think that Biden is everyone's second choice when Klobuchar, Bloomberg, and even Warren are corporatists just like Mayor Pete? There is only one real choice, Bernie Sanders, powered by the people.

Stephanopoulos can't be faulted too much; he's like a Wolf Blitzer (thanks Wolf for having my fav corr's on last night but you undid the fairness with David Chalian who, I swear, was climaxing over Biden's win in South Carolina--what's the matter with that guy?--double, more than double, it's clear that the African American will elect our next Black-by-association president in the form of a Cheshire Cat of a White politician, he seemed to be touting). Now back to the local ABC stations; ABC ensures that its national news shows are not overtly biased but some of the local "journalists" are paid for by Wall Street. I call your attention to this guy Ritter. He had one guy today that looked like a union thug saying disparaging remarks against our White Knight, Bernie Sanders. These morons who hate Sanders because he's a democratic socialist are as far removed from true scholarship as any Philistine could get. Are they aware that wealth disparity IN...
