The Coronavirus Thread

A 13-day old baby, understood to have no underlying health conditions, has died from Covid-19, NHS England has reported....

A baby dies...several million are murdered/aborted. Did the baby die of a corona virus, or was it suffocated with a pillow over its face? Reported in The Guardian, eh? A well know reactionary propaganda rag... read the history of their buy-out a few years back, shortly after they capitulated to MI5 raiding their computer room & smashing their hard drives (Snowdon files) ...

What is that article supposed to imply...that we should all wear burkas, hate physical proximity, and take a vaccine... and trust the government? The same government that asserted that Saddam Hussein could destroy London in 45 minutes with his WMDs & ICBMs. Yeah, THAT government.

Still, not long to go now, not long to go. Fifteen years and it'll all be over, bar the whimpering; "Gee, didn't see that coming!"

There's no obligation to sympathise, empathise, or even give half of two-shits. Nonetheless, the real Galaxian wouldn't have been so dismissive.

The coronavirus was present in Milan and Turin’s sewage systems as early as December, two months before the first Covid-19 cases were detected in Italy, a new study shows.

“Traces of SARS-Cov-2 have been found in samples of waste water taken in Milan and Turin on Dec. 18 and in Bologna on Jan. 29,” said Giuseppina La Rosa, who led the research for a coming study from the country’s ISS National Health Institute. “More traces were detected in other test samples through January and February.”

Three large meat factories have closed in England and Wales after more than 100 workers tested positive for coronavirus.

Mobile testing tents have been set up outside an Asda-owned meat processing site in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, after several workers fell ill with Covid-19.

The Kober plant, which supplies bacon to Asda supermarkets, has closed until next week and around 100 contacts of workers have been traced. It was unclear on Friday how many workers had tested positive for the coronavirus.

On Thursday the UK’s main supplier of supermarket chicken, 2 Sisters Food Group, said it was closing its huge Anglesey plant for 14 days after 58 people tested positive for coronavirus.

In Wrexham, 38 staff have tested positive at Rowan Foods, which makes food for supermarkets across the UK. Bosses said the cases reflected an increase in the local area rather than a spread within the site.

The cluster of new cases in meat processing plants will raise concerns about a potential outbreak similar to those seen in France and the US...

We are now at 800 cases in a single meat factory over a couple of days

[Tero]

Maybe we should just feed those cows another year? Won't the meat be just as good a year from now?

Frankly, if my ears don't deceive, me, this is the vocaloid version, not the best.

Asymptomatic transmission.

'Study shows how quickly coronavirus spreads at home'

The novel coronavirus is twice as infectious within households than similar diseases such as SARS, with a substantial number of additional infections spreading before a COVID-19 sufferer shows any symptoms, according to modelling released Thursday.

Researchers based in China and the United States said their findings could have profound impacts on reducing the number of new infections as the pandemic progresses.

Using data on 350 COVID-19 patients and nearly 2,000 of their close contacts in the city of Guangzhou, China, the researchers estimated the virus' "secondary attack rate" -- that is, the probability that an infected person transmits the disease to someone else.

They found that while the average patient had just a 2.4 percent chance of infecting someone they did not live with, that figure jumped to 17.1 percent -- around one in six -- among cohabitants.

According to their models, which rely on data collated in January and February but have been updated to reflect the latest developments, the likelihood of household infection was highest among over-60s, and lowest among under-20s.

The overall chances of infecting a family member or live-in partner with COVID-19 are twice as high as with SARS, and three times higher than MERS, another coronavirus, they found.

Significantly, the researchers found that the probability of a COVID-19 carrier infecting a family member or flatmate was significantly higher -- 39 percent -- before they started showing symptoms than afterwards.

This suggests that the virus is easily transmissible within its incubation period and may be passed on by individuals who don't know they are infected.

The team said that isolation within households cut the total number of COVID-19 cases among the study cohort by 20-50 percent compared with no quarantine.

The death of a man in August last year, quite possibly by murder, and the knowledge he probably had concerning a hebephile ring, is rather more

That isn't how the enemies of Epstein's crew are going to paint it. They likely won't be as gentle or subtle in their language.

NXIVM, Epstein, Prince Andrew, Nygard, Harvard University and Disney, all knitted together through that creepy old 'construct'.

One guy who worked briefly with Epstein released a podcast about his impressions. Called him a 'construct', and figures he was a plant by foreign intelligence to run a 'honey pot', that got out of hand.

But the fact that wealthy elites were well connected through that is not important. Triangles in facebook, however, mean Trump must be a racist.

Didn't Trump kick Epstein out of his club, for being a creep?

But yeah, there were predictions of millions dead in the US due to coronavirus. The dire predictions now are a bit less than that, but lets still insist Trump is a failure, whatever the numbers are.

I worked in various meat packing plants. The only way most people can enjoy their meat is by vigorous ignorance of the reality.

I like hot dogs and sausages, myself.

The UK government tried this one - if fooled nobody. First they said that Covid-19 wouldn't be a problem because we're an advanced nation with a first-class health system. Then when the bodies started piling up they said we'd easily keep deaths under 20,000 if everybody obeyed the lockdown. And when the death rate reach 30,000 they said that some people were talking about 500,000 deaths so we can call the response to the crisis an overwhelming success. They just shifted the goalposts - exactly like you did in your reply to Hermit.

Excess deaths for the period March to May are around 60,000 with 42,000+ deaths from confirmed cases so far. The government have gone very quite on their 'successes' now.

The term "meat packing plant" seems to be quite an euphemism. It isn't just a place where stuff is packed. The animals are killed, slaughtered and then turned into meat products.

I understood exactly what it meant, but I think most people do think of it as 'meat', rather than the flesh of dead animals.

The last meat packing plant I worked in, killed almost 7000 hogs per 7.5h shift. I was surprised that there were boxes JUST for pig uteruses. Fucking crazy.

Uteri, surely...
