⚠️Chinese doctors say autopsies of #coronavirus victims suggest that #COVID19 is “like a combination of #SARS and #AIDS as it damages both the lungs and immune systems,” and can cause “irreversible” lung damage even if the patient survives.

@thespybrief

This latest report of SARS-like lung damage is consistent with prior clinical reports of #coronavirus cases from #China. At least 1 patient who survived #COVID19 later received a lung transplant due to permanent fibrosis ("scarring") of his lungs.

nypost.com/2020/03/02/chi…
Lung inflammation + low lymphocyte counts ("#AIDS"-like immunosuppression) in #coronavirus patients presents a conundrum. Doctors sometimes use steroids to blunt the lung inflammation, but the downside is further immunosuppression.

Rock, meet hard place.

🔥"#China’s errors–dating back to the very 1st patients–were compounded by political leaders who dragged their feet to inform the public of the risks and to take decisive control measures."

How It All Started: China’s Early #Coronavirus Missteps

#COVID19

"When doctors did finally establish the (wildlife market) link in late Dec, they quarantined (a patient) & others & raised the alarm to their superiors. *But they were prevented by Chinese authorities from alerting their peers, let alone the public*.

Just like 1918 Spanish Flu.
Even though we *just* saw the #CoronavirusOutbreak EXPLODE in #China in real-time, the Trump Administration *refused* to alert healthcare/public-health personnel or the public.

This has DELAYED our response, just like #China did.🤬

⚠️I *hammer* Trump's #COVID19 task force for its "blunders in our #pandemic preparedness by not quickly deploying #coronavirus testing kits nor having sufficient testing capacity EARLY, when containment would've been much more feasible."

@kashmiragander
newsweek.com/coronavirus-te…
As I warned, there will be a "massive surge" in #COVID19 cases thru March, initially due to increased testing, but also because #coronavirus has been spreading within US communities for ≥3 weeks with little/NO testing.🤬

The keys to containment are:

▶️EARLY detection
▶️Contact tracing
▶️Quarantines

Trump's #COVID19 "task force" TOTALLY FAILED and instead LIED about the seriousness of the #CoronavirusOutbreak and the availability of #coronavirus tests.🤬

🔥@BrianKarem:”With so few (#coronavirus) tests being done and the incubation rate being as much as 2 weeks, how can we accurately say that the risk is low, at this point?”

Pence:😳

More on Pence/Trump’s inept response to #COVID19 with quotes from me.👇🏼

“Dr. Grayson...has overseen the development of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs against deadly viruses. She believes the Trump administration has badly fumbled its attempts to contain #COVID19: ‘We are behind the eight ball...This checks all the boxes for a global #pandemic’.”
“The government’s response to #COVID19 is ‘totally catastrophic. A total #fail’.” ~me, quoted in this blistering piece about #coronavirus task force “leader” Mike Pence’s disastrous press briefing on our nation’s response to the #CoronavirusOutbreak.

The grim finding was reported on by Communist Party mouthpiece the Global Times on Friday, after a paper by Wuhan doctors published in the Journal of Forensic Medicine earlier in the week went viral on Chinese social media.
“The influence of COVID-19 on the human body is like a combination of SARS and AIDS as it damages both the lungs and immune systems,” Peng Zhiyong, director of the intensive care unit of the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University in Wuhan, told the Global Times.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.
