Coronavirus

[HeIsRisen2018]

Apparently Japan closed all their schools for the month of March. Huuuuge!

Exactly. Since Japan is way more serious about education than America is. Anyways, there's already been one death in Washington state. Prayers going towards everybody affected by this and their friends and family members.

Washington state man becomes first U.S. death from coronavirus

The CDC says it's responding to "the first possible outbreak" of the virus at a U.S. long-term care facility in Washington.

The Cross is the manifestation of Gods love. Don’t listen to preachers who doesn’t use through Gods Word, point you to Christ and His Work at Calvary. All they can do is quote the Word and make people feel good in their flesh through their emotions and feelings. The Cross is the only avenue of Righteousness. Any message that doesn’t point you to Christ and the Cross is without power. Pastor Curtis

It is critical that the Believer doesn’t allow the rules of the world to infiltrate the Kingdom of God in the name of being sensitive. We must be sensitive, but it must be compassion without compromise. In other words we don’t dumb down Gods standards (Faith placed and maintained exclusively in Christ and the Cross) just because it doesn’t makes sense to a unbeliever. Today we are living in a time of the dumbing down of God because of the dumbing down of the Church. Because the Church has reduce God in the Church, society has reduced Him in the world. God isn’t being presented properly in the culture, He has been excluded, therefore the result will be conflict and chaos. 2 Chronicles 15:3-6 says,:

“3 Now for a long season Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching Priest (Pastors), and without Law (New Covenant Law = Romans 8:2 - Faith placed and maintained exclusively in Christ and His Finished Work at Calvary Cross where the victory was won).

4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found of them (this Promise is clear; God will not forsake those who turn to Him and seek Him; the Scripture is emphatic: “He was found of them”).

5 And in those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.

6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity (even though they were His chosen people, called of Him and loved of Him, still, when they turned their backs on Him, spiritually speaking, He would “vex them with all adversity”; God desires to bless us, but, if we desire to oppose Him, He will, instead, “vex us,” and He does it in order to bring us to our spiritual senses).

7 Be you strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded (the admonishment by the Holy Spirit was then and now, “Be strong” [I Cor. 16:13; Eph. 6:10; II Tim. 2:1]).” In other words, don't change your testimony from which we only overcome; The Blood of the Lamb (the Cross) Rev. 12:11

One day there is going to be a Big Show coming to town. God will be the producer, the Holy Spirit will be the director, and Jesus Christ will be the Superstar - and it will be a worldwide production. It is when the Kingdom of God comes down to this earth.

Oh and apparently animals are getting this disease as well.

A dog in Hong Kong tests positive for the coronavirus, WHO officials confirm

Hong Kong scientists aren't sure if the dog is actually infected or if it picked up the virus from a contaminated surface.

60 something Americans...2 cases in california where the infected parties seem to have gotten it -in their communities- , so...the actual # could be higher (this, from CNN).

Trump apparently shredded (eliminated?) the CDC pandemic unit, so...this is going to be awesome.

This may, perhaps, make me sound like a conspiracy theorist or some paranoid individual, but...I'm kind of concerned about personal freedoms, in the US and worldwide. Maybe I'm being too sensitive (LOL), but the heavy use quarantine and such...seems like something that could be be misused and misapplied, quite easily. hopefully just a fleeting worry, no big deal...

in other news, some people are stocking up as if the Apocalypse was nigh. I don't know what to make of it, honestly. Seems that the flu is more of a threat, but this is yet another "security risk" in a socially and politically disintegrating world, so...

there ya go.

I've heard that the CV is more contagious but the mortality rate is lower than for the flu.

I just hope it didn't come out of some lab in China....I do worry about this. Man fools around with too much stuff that is dangerous...bacteria and virus is one of them.

Seem like the mortality rate is under 2%.
I also wonder if we all know the same information and news around the world...

 

[Michael74]

I've heard that the CV is more contagious but the mortality rate is lower than for the flu.

World Health Organization officials warned the virus could be far more dangerous than the flu, with a mortality rate of 3.4%.

WHO says corona is dangerous. Mostly for the elderly and young children though. Healthy people from 10 to 60 will generally be okay. Anyone with young children at home should be taking precautions. The elderly should be taking super precautions.

Pray for young children and elderly saints if this thing moves into general population before a treatment is developed.

Actually...
Corona Viruses are not as contagious as flu but several times more deadly. Very few people die from the flu...but a higher percentage of people are dying from Corona.

Corona has a longer incubation period than flu...not good either.
But it's harder to catch...and they believe that they will have the test trials completed next month to know what antivirals to use to combat it.

 

[Michael74]

The illness has a much stronger chance of causing death in sick and elderly patients (around 14 percent), while among children and healthy adults the mortality rate is close to zero.

18% among the elderly. Children in general seem to be safe from it, but I still don't think people should risk newborn infants around it. At least until more is known.

update
41 people diagnosed with corona virus in Australia
at least 1 death

18% among the elderly. Children in general seem to be safe from it, but I still don't think people should risk newborn infants around it. At least until more is known.

I think that the major reasons why the elderly and children and infants get sick the most is because the elderly start developing more diseases when they get older, and children and infants don't have a very strong immune system yet.

There is 6 million people in this country and only 2 people have this over dramatised virus.

Coronavirus may infect 40 percent of world over one to two years - Kiwi expert

But for now, New Zealand's case is contained.

[Corn Pop]

Why does the media love to dramatise?. No one even knows. Why say this to people. It could be none it could be millions who knows, I could get struck by lightning tonight who knows.

I like facts not negative predictions. Why does it always have to be negative when it could easy go the other way, a cure could come out soon, it might be contained, who knows. For every negative outlook there is also a positive outlook. Why not just be positive.

7.7 billion people on earth. 40% of 7.7 billion is 3.08 billion. 3% of 3.08 billion is 92 million. The Spanish flu got 50 million because they didn't stay on top of it. Don't want a repeat.

There are reporting that Italy has gotten a rather formidable size group infected with Corona

 

[Michael74]

I looks like Israel might have a vaccine soon....

MIGAL Galilee Research Institute CEO David Zigdon said: “Given the urgent global need for a human coronavirus vaccine, we are doing everything we can to accelerate development. Our goal is to produce the vaccine during the next eight to ten weeks and to achieve safety approval in 90 days.

Good work.

There are reporting that Italy has gotten a rather formidable size group infected with Corona

Last I head was about 1,000---but that was yesterday and it increases every day. Mostly up in the NorthEast part of Italy, with scattered cases in about 5 or 6 regions.

The latest is that the central govt in Rome might decide to close all schools in all of Italy...to be announced this evening.

I think containment is our only hope since it's so contagious.
