Coronavirus 'could be 1,000 times more infectious than SARS'

Daily Mail

The coronavirus could be up to 1,000 times more infectious than SARS because it plagues the body in the same way as HIV and Ebola, scientists warn. 

Experts initially presumed the spread of COVID-19 would follow the same trajectory as the SARS outbreak in 2002/3, because the viruses are almost identical genetically.

But they have discovered the way it binds to cells in the human body is akin to far more aggressive diseases like HIV and Ebola.

This makes it '100 to 1,000 times' more efficient at infecting people than SARS, according to researchers from Nankai University in Tianjin, northern China.

'THEY should pay!' British taxpayers' fury as £20m bill for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's security bill falls entirely on UK

Daily Mail
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation delivered an 80,000-signature petition to Mr Trudeau's office opposing footing the bill. There has been similar opposition in the UK. Buckingham Palace and the Met refused to comment last night, and it was clear Scotland Yard had been caught unawares by the Canadian statement. .......

The decision puts the globe-trotting couple in a potentially explosive predicament. 

As recently as last Friday, when they updated their personal website, the Sussexes were adamant they are legally entitled to year-round police protection. In a statement they said: 'It is agreed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will continue to require effective security to protect them and their son.

'This is based on the duke's public profile by virtue of being born into the Royal Family, his military service, the duchess's own independent profile, and the shared threat and risk level documented specifically over the last few years.'

But with Canada now refusing to help, the responsibility for protecting the Sussexes will be placed solely at the feet of the Metropolitan Police – and UK taxpayers.

The only other option would be for the couple to agree to pay for their own security guards."

Top doctor sensationally claims EVERYONE in Australia will contract coronavirus

Daily Mail

A top doctor has sensationally predicted everyone in Australia will fall victim to the coronavirus. 

Professor Ian Mackay, from the University of Queensland, said it is unlikely the deadly virus will ever be contained and the world should prepare for the worst.

The doctor's claim came as Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Australia a coronavirus pandemic was 'very much upon us' and detailed a plan to stockpile medicines, create makeshift clinics and place aged-care homes into lockdown."

WHO director says countries must 'act aggressively now to contain coronavirus'

Daily Mail

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the major virus outbreaks in Iran and Italy in recent days 'demonstrate what this virus is capable of'. 

The global health chief warned that it would be a 'fatal mistake, quite literally' for other nations to assume they will not be affected by the outbreak."

Coronavirus kills two in Italy as Lombardy is put on lockdown

Daily Mail

Two coronavirus patients in Italy have today died from the Covid-19 disease that has now killed 2,253 people and infected more than 77,268 across the world. 

The two deaths have triggered a lockdown of twelve towns in the north eastern region of Lombardy and 50,000 people have been asked to stay indoors. 

The first to die, a 78-year-old father-of-three, passed away in a hospital in Padua on Friday evening.

Adriano Trevisan, a retired bricklayer, had been admitted to the hospital for another health issue ten days ago said local authorities."

Chinese Study: “The [Wuhan] coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory”

WUWT
A Chinese scientific paper has suggested careless biosecurity at a disease research laboratory just 280 yards from the market where the outbreak was originally detected was responsible for the Covid-19 Chinese Corona Virus......If the claim of careless biosecurity is correct, the emergence of a dangerous hybrid virus capable of infecting humans was always a possibility. Through their carelessness, the virus researchers may have been inadvertently creating and incubating a stream of increasingly dangerous hybrid pathogens, until finally a potential pandemic escaped their laboratory.

Deadly coronavirus 'kills 15 PER CENT of patients over 80' and the never-before-seen strain is 'up to 20 TIMES more infectious than SARS'

WHO Holds Secret Talks With Tech Giants To Stop Spread of Coronavirus “Misinformation”

Summit News
The World Health Organization has held talks with tech giants to stop the spread of coronavirus “misinformation,” despite the fact that some things once labeled “misinformation” have since turned out to be true.
The first example was claims that China was hiding the true number of coronavirus victims, once labeled a “conspiracy theory” by the media but subsequently proven accurate on Friday when 14,800 new coronavirus cases were reported in a single day.
The second example was suspicions that the virus could have emerged from a bio-safety level 4 research lab in Wuhan.
This contention has been aggressively attacked by the media and big tech giants – Zero Hedge was even banned by Twitter for reporting it – but a new study by scientists at the prestigious South China University of Technology in Guangzhou has confirmed that “the killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.”

Senator Cotton: China Refusing to Hand Over Evidence About Wuhan BioLab

Summit News
Senator Tom Cotton says that China is refusing to hand over evidence concerning the bio-safety level 4 research lab in Wuhan despite a new report from biological scientists at the South China University of Technology saying it may have been the source of the coronavirus outbreak.

Coronavirus could infect two-thirds of globe, researcher says

Stuff NZ

As the number of coronavirus cases jumps dramatically in China, a top infectious-disease scientist warns that things could get far worse: Two-thirds of the world's population could catch it.

So says Ira Longini, a World Health Organisation adviser who tracked studies of the virus's transmissibility in China.

His estimate implies that there could eventually be billions more infections than the current official tally of about 60,000. There are still no confirmed cases in New Zealand.

If the virus spreads to anywhere near that extent, it will show the limitations of China's strict containment measures, including quarantining areas inhabited by tens of millions of people. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has credited those steps with giving the rest of China and the world a "window" in which to prepare."

Coronavirus could be the young’s best friend

CW
......Together with NHS boss Sir Simon Stevens, he seems to think that we just need to take sensible precautions: many more of us in Britain may have to self-isolate. 
That’s the official picture so far and if you revisit the Johns Hopkins Covid-19 tracker you’ll see the death toll outside China has actually gone down to one: they’ve diplomatically hidden the other one, in Hong Kong, in the list of ‘mainland’ cases, presumably to avoid irritating the Chinese Communist Party as it addresses the protest-ridden colony and institutes a harder administration there. 
On the other hand, we could be headed for a pandemic, as Professor Neil Ferguson told us on the Today programme the previous day. In that case, he estimated about 60 per cent of the UK population could be affected. If the mortality rate was 1 per cent, that would be 400,000 fatalities."

‘Meghan on the make’ – it’s all about the money

CW

ON the day that Sajid Javid resigned in defence of his team came the news that Harry and Meghan had axed their entire staff and closed their Buckingham Palace office. It made for bit of a contrast and was somewhat ironic: a politician behaving honourably, for once, eclipsing this very unroyal couple behaving badly. Again.
Meghan and Harry’s actions have made it quite clear they are not coming back, a-Callous and calculating doesn’t begin to say it. They hardly deserved the decent people who were seconded to support them.
We wrote last month that they were an utter disgrace.     .....
......I suspect Meghan won’t care. I don’t fear for her: Meghan has designed her life to make her way. But like Harry’s biographer Angela Levin, who has talked and walked with the royals and won their confidence, who got to know Harry, and who wrote in these page not long ago with great prescience of  how she feared for Prince Harry, I do too. And for baby Archie.
This has all the makings of a Shakespearean tragedy. Meghan on the make will not be the making of Prince Harry, but his downfall."

Coronavirus Bioweapon – How China Stole Coronavirus From Canada And Weaponized It

greatgameindia.com

This Coronavirus sample was acquired by Scientific Director Dr. Frank Plummer (key to Coronavirus investigation Frank Plummer was recently assassinated in Africa) of Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in Winnipeg directly from Fouchier, who received it from Zaki. This virus was reportedly stolen from the Canadian lab by Chinese agents.
....
Following investigation, the incident was traced to Chinese agents working at NML. Four months later in July 2019, a group of Chinese virologists were forcibly dispatched from the Canadian National Microbiology Laboratory (NML). The NML is Canada’s only level-4 facility and one of only a few in North America equipped to handle the world’s deadliest diseases, including Ebola, SARS, Coronavirus, etc.
 

Creator Of US BioWeapons Act Says Coronavirus Is Biological Warfare Weapon

ZeroHedge
Francis Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law. He drafted the U.S. domestic implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention, known as the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, that was approved unanimously by both Houses of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush.
In an exclusive interview given to Geopolitics and Empire, Dr. Boyle discusses the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China and the Biosafety Level 4 laboratory (BSL-4) from which he believes the infectious disease escaped. He believes the virus is potentially lethal and an offensive biological warfare weapon or dual-use biowarfare weapons agent genetically modified with gain of function properties, which is why the Chinese government originally tried to cover it up and is now taking drastic measures to contain it.
The Wuhan BSL-4 lab is also a specially designated World Health Organization (WHO) research lab and Dr. Boyle contends that the WHO knows full well what is occurring.
Dr. Boyle also touches upon GreatGameIndia‘s exclusive report Coronavirus Bioweapon – where we reported in detail how Chinese Biowarfare agents working at the Canadian lab in Winnipeg were involved in the smuggling of Coronavirus to Wuhan’s lab from where it is believed to have been leaked."

Irrefutable: The coronavirus was engineered by scientists in a lab using well documented genetic engineering vectors that leave behind a “fingerprint”

Natural News
Every virology lab in the world that has run a genomic analysis of the coronavirus now knows that the coronavirus was engineered by human scientists. The proof is in the virus itself: The tools for genetic insertion are still present as remnants in the genetic code. Since these unique gene sequences don’t occur by random chance, they’re proof that this virus was engineered by scientists in a lab.
But the WHO and CDC are covering up this inconvenient fact in order to protect communist China and its biological weapons program, since no government wants the public to know the full truth about how frequently government-run labs experience outbreaks. Decades ago, for example, the U.S. Army ran an Ebola bioweapons lab in the United States, where a monkey infected one of the scientists there. The strain turned out to be infectious only in monkeys, not humans, so the world dodged a bullet, but the U.S. Army “nuked” the entire facility with chemical bombs, killing all the monkeys and wiping out any last remnant of the virus on U.S. soil."

Coronavirus could infect SIXTY PER CENT per cent of the global population if it cannot be controlled, top Hong Kong medical official warns

Daily Mail

Coronavirus could infect more than 60 per cent of the global population if containment methods fail, a top Hong Kong medical official has warned.

Professor Gabriel Leung, chair of public health medicine in the city, also said that even if the death rate reaches just one per cent, the potential spread means it could still kill thousands of people. 

There are more than 43,000 cases reported in the world so far, with more than 1,000 deaths due to the virus.     ......Social media reports have also alleged that China's body burning facilities in Wuhan are working flat out, suggesting that the death toll from the virus may be significantly higher than the country has reported.

Corona Virus — darkness in China. The West waits while reports come that a mild illness may progress badly

JoNova(Australia)

Something truly awful is going on in China.

People are being chased down the road by “medical teams”, dragged forcibly into quarantine. A woman in an apartment tower yells for help, “my husband is dying. There is no way out”. Officials carry guns, and there are frightening videos of them welding doors shut and locking people inside their homes. But I can’t find footage of deliveries of food and medicine to trapped citizens. This is not what people do in “a flu season”, they’re acting like it’s the plague.
There are reports, allegedly from within Wuhan hospitals that hundreds of patients a day are being classified as  “pnumonic”, not as coronavirus. Daily removes pnumonic patients to not return, whole sections of hospital, 200 rooms each and not recorded. They are filled immediately with new pnumonic. Please know we are trying but there is simply too much…. would post more photo but other workers here and typing this under table…
