#Covid19 #CoronaVirus Fellow #SiliconValley people get educated and monitor the county health department pages on the #Pandemic. Protect yourselves but also be aware of those at higher risk of death. Bookmark this page and follow updates sccgov.org/sites/phd/Dise…
Also check out the State Health Department page cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/D…
Also check out the US Government Centers For Disease Control page. Fortunately the politicians haven't taken this down and still has good advice and updates cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
World Health Organization is also a good resource. who.int/health-topics/…
National Institutes of Health also is a resource

I recommend going to these primary source sites rather than trusting pundits, cable news, twitter or facebook accounts, your know-it-all friends or family, etc. Keep yourselves safe and don't take it from me, #GoToThePrimarySources

@shaunking #CreepyJoe vs #PussyGrabber reminds me of the @SouthPark episode of #TurdSandwich vs #GiantDouche

Us old cynics (GenX) will return to cynicism, but sadly two whole generations--The Millenials and GenZ will have no choice but to embrace cynicism.
@shaunking @SouthPark DNC is the non-(or not as)#Christofascist wing of the Repub Party. If Biden is the nominee, I'm pulling the trigger and am going from no-party preference to registering as a Green. I will recruit for the next four years and the Democratic Party Republicans will wither up and die.
@shaunking @SouthPark @ewarren @BernieSanders and all progressives are welcome to join me in registering for the Green party and canvassing our asses off for four years. All you have to do is join for their to be a viable third party that represents the 99%. DNC and RNC obviously don't.

@TomSteyer @lily21951 I appreciate you and I'm for Bernie right now, but you're my number two. Currently payroll taxes pay for medicare. There is no cap like social security so no unfair advantage to the rich. Medicare for all just increases this minimal tax and eliminates premiums 1/
@TomSteyer @lily21951 , copays, out of pocket, and uncovered fees. Money goes in, patients get treatment, providers get paid. The current system (your aforementioned union health plans and others) use a non-value added middleman who receives a huge rent in the form of premiums and LOA reductions 2/
@TomSteyer @lily21951 to providers. My out of network Occupational Therapist for my autistic child charges $175/ hour (definitely not unreasonable in Silicon Valley), if she were to be in network for those #BloodSuckingVampires #UHC, she would receive $35 because she is an independent. Large 3/

@RoKhanna Medicare for all would also allow providers to have the complete pool of patients and not be negotiated down to providing services at rates so low they can't afford rent on their office space.
@RoKhanna Medicare for all would allow special needs families the option to not spend hours each week fighting the heinous f*ckery of the insurance companies (delaying reimbursement of claims, declaring treatments uncovered, losing paperwork, etc.)
@RoKhanna Medicare for all will eliminate the need to appeal by snail mail or send in claims by fax so that the health insurer can have plausible deniability that they never received the claim.

Looks like @0ctoberReignz is onto something here... the image we have been bombarded with as being “Coronavirus” (specifically 2019-nCoV) is not an actual image of #COVID. It’s a rendition of another virus. In fact, we barely have a decent image of COVID at all!
Here is the best image we have of #COVID / #Coronavirus from the #Wuhan outbreak... this is it... this is the real image.

Doesn’t exactly look like the pretty modeled image we saw just a moment ago does it? Nope... not at all!
What we DO have... is a Electron Scanned Microscopic image of Influenza A... as correctly pointed out by @0ctoberReignz ... so... WTF??

There is definitely something way way off going on here

What's in a name?
Why @WHO's formal name for the new #coronavirus #disease matters:

1. Wash your hands often and/or use hand sanitizer more frequently.

2. Try not to touch your face... 🙈

3. Cough into your shirt or arm.

4. Stay home when you are sick.

5. WASH. YOUR. HANDS!

My sister wrote abt niece possibly contracting #coronavirus during home Super Bowl Party in US and denied testing by Santa Clara County Health Department bc supposedly not qualified according to CDC guidelines on Chinese forum. Translation thread #COVID19 forums.huaren.us/showtopic.aspx…
“My kid having fever, even tho didn’t come into direct contact w people returning from China. But turns out people attending my Super Bowl Party at home had contact w people coming back frm China. 2 friends also sick with same symptoms as my child. doc denied my request 4 test”
Doctors all said if she hasn’t been to #Wuhan recently or come in contact with confirmed #coronavirus patients, then will not test. I insisted on X-ray today (Feb 19), she has pneumonia. I asked 4 test, was told to contact local health department which came back with same answer

Ironically my family in China have been staying safe from #coronavirus but my sister’s family in US became sick. She hosted Super Bowl Party in her house. 2 families attended got sick. 1 friend recently returned frm China. Niece had high fevers for days... #COVID19
My sister took niece to hospital. She has pneumonia. Sis really worried and wants to test for #coronavirus but hospital and doctors couldn’t be bothered. Sis now working frm home to care for niece. They live in Silicon Valley. NYT and WaPo won’t be covering her story like China
This was the report filed by expelled @WSJ journo from #Wuhan. You would think US media/gov officials would care more about Americans like my niece potentially infected with #coronavirus in US. They don’t. They don’t really care about people in China either. #COVID19

Coronavirus #COVID -19 appears to be jumping at a rate of 117 new cases per hour. Monitoring closely as this seems to indicate a faster rate of infection than was previously reported. Could be an anomaly. The deaths did not jump however... so that’s good.

[THREAD] China Coronavirus Outbreak
A deadly virus is spreading from Asia, affecting hundreds of people and resulting in dozens of deaths, in what may become a gloabal health epidemic. This thread contains news about the outbreak.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus #WarWatch
On Dec 30, 2019, Chinese authorities confirmed cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei Province. A team of national experts was sent to carry out detection tests. Patients at a local seafood market were put in quarantine.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus
Liu Youning, a professor of epidemiology and respiratory medicine, told the Global Times that the #coronavirus found in #Wuhan appears to be far less serious than the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (#SARS) or the Middle East respiratory syndrome (#MERS).
