the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

They’re not there to scare.

Dr. George Diaz: About a week into his course he got worse developed pneumonia. At that point given the reports we had gotten out of China… At that point we elected to give him… the experimental Remdesivir, antiviral medication. And within 24 hours he improved significantly.


This was quite encouraging and he improved and thereafter remained without fever and felt much better.
Over the next few days he improved to where we thought he could be discharged at home under the care of the local health district.

Arthel Neville: And you said you used, I believe an experimental anti-viral medication, that you gave this patient. Can you apply this treatment to ALL people infected with the coronavirus or does it depend on the stage of their infection?

Dr. George Diaz: Yes, at this point the CDC has been working with the authorities in China and have recently opened a large clinical trial of Chinese patients looking at those with severe disease as well as those with mild to moderate disease. We are very much looking forward to the trials.

“In 1976, an outbreak of the swine flu, Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 at Fort Dix, New Jersey caused one death, hospitalized 13, and led to a mass immunization program. After the program began, the vaccine was associated with an increase in reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, which can cause paralysis, respiratory arrest, and death. The immunization program was ended after approximately 25% of the population of the United States had been administered the vaccine.”

Over half our battalion was out of action the next day after receiving the vaccinations.


Very important the testing is done to ensure the vaccination isn’t worse than the virus itself.
One would expect them to Develop a vaccination by the end of this year hopefully the testing goes well.

If one takes the time to read what is put up by the state department concerning ex-pats.
Most of what is being complained about is outlined with expectations and limitations of what can actually be
done

In August 2010, Finland reported an increased occurrence of narcolepsy in children and youngsters vaccinated with Pandemrix. On 1 September 2010, Finland stopped all Pandemrix vaccinations. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/artic ... lepsy.aspx

1. Hand washing with soap and clean potable water upon leaving the washroom.
2. Handwashing after cleaning animal products
3. Handwashing after cooking food....

In the Big Sandbox (Afghanistan) hygiene was always impressed upon as since water was at a premium. Leave ECP and wash hands before entering chowhall/DEFAC. When finished eating, wash hands. leaving poto potties! find water and wash hands, don't touch face.eyes, etc with "dirty" hands..KNw some people who got some nasty dermatological problem associated with not washing hands..Isn't rocket science but oftenoverlooked

Seems like my Chines friends wash their hands, nothing out of the ordinary. Though in Southern parts of China there's a great lack of water. Some people don't want to contribute to unnecessary waste. Some of the greatest trouble in China seems to be an uneven distribution of resources. Many provinces pay a lot in taxes but get very little back. For instance, when the government spent billions and billions on the World Expo in Shanghai 2010, peasants in Sichuan and Yunnan amongst other places had to kill hundreds of animals due to the lack of water. The problems have prevailed for a long time, but the government don't care. All resources goes to Beijing and Shanghai.

Regarding the Corona outbreak, the government should be held responsible due to lack of commitment, but we all know that won't happen. Now it's the local officials who will take the bullet for lack of control.

I don’t know about this, I from my viewpoint (Huainan) see that things under the circumstances runs quite smoothly. And as I mentioned in previous post, the flu season was on when this corona virus came along, must have created a lot of confusion. As of info I get herein China there is an optimism despite the current situation.......som even say now they’re getting a good rest and ready to get on with business stronger as soon the virus threat is gone.
