WHATS WRONG WITH THESE LUNATICS! @SecPompeo is bullying G-7 to misname SARS-CoV-2 (the 2019 novel coronavirus) in a joint statement as "Wuhan Virus", VIOLATING @WHO policies on official names. These bastards cant get us GODDAMN test kits, because they waste time on Fox News SPIN!
...and if you didn't see the article:

independent.co.uk/news/coronavir……

...and if you don't know the global policy on viral names which the Trump Administration, in their idiocy and twisted values, keep insisting they must ignore for Fox News talking points: who.int/mediacentre/ne…
...sometimes, I cant deal with GOP evil as it flows in cascades of blood while they scream about Jesus.

Yesterday, it was "elderly: die for the economy."
Now, its "We wont let nations issue a statement unless they reinforce our spin to divert attention from Trump's failures."

Since Trump & @GOP dont get what "a great job" means:

a. It means not having most cases in the world.
b. It means not having fastest daily % growth rate in deaths in the world.
c. It means not deciding which states live or die based on how firmly their governors kiss your ass./1
d. It means having a disease management plan.
e. It means having equipment ready to go.
f. It means, if you fail in "e" - it means establish a "Manhattan Project" for equipment production - including PPE.
g. It means not claiming to know cures and treatments when you dont./2
h. It means not denying reality by spinning endless fantasies that contradict everything reported from the ground.
i. It means to STOP worrying about what is on TV and START worrying about American citizens dying.
j. It means to stop pretending you're an expert when you aren't./3

A real President couldve turned the pandemic into a moment of global leadership, of salving wounds, of alleviating fears by focusing on protecting citizens. And if a real billionaire, would have put his own $ into supporting our medical staffs...

Trump is none of those things..
...FDR had: "Day that will live in infamy" speech and fireside chats.

Trump had: ‘I don't take responsibility at all' on failed testing

GW Bush had "I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the ppl who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon." /2
..Trump had: "They have to treat us well, too” re: New York getting ventilators.

Eisenhower had: "This world of ours... must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.''

Trump had: "Chinese virus" /3

1. As more and more conservatives and Trumpers say that the elderly should be willing to sacrifice their lives for the economy, remember a few things:

A. As unbelievable as it is, these inhuman monsters actually said these things. They are unmitigated sociopaths...
...

B. The economy is fine. There are business cycles, and it is normal for a some sort of shock to trigger the inevitable downside of the cycle. They want people to die because they think it will make stock prices go back up to their bubble values. Theyre *greedy* sociopaths...
..
C. They lied that ACA contained "death panels" to kill the elderly & infirm -people they now say should die for "the economy." The truth? ACA raised taxes on the rich. That was the basis for their lying rage, just like stock prices are now. Theyre *lying* greedy sociopaths...

"La presencia de un gran reservorio de virus similares al #SARS-CoV en los murciélagos de herradura, junto con la cultura de comer mamíferos exóticos del sur de China, es una bomba de relojería."
Octubre de 2007. El resto es historia 👇
Con este párrafo cerraban C. Cheng, S.K.P. Lau, P.C.Y. Woo, y K.Y. Yuen, de la Universidad de Hong Kong, su artículo científico titulado fue publicado en la revista CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY REVIEWS en #Octubre2007
Es decir, desde 2007 se sabía del peligro de que un nuevo virus del tipo SARS-CoV pudiese saltar de animales a humanos y provocar una pandemia, como así ha sido. Todo pudo ser evitado, solo teníamos que haber escuchado.🤦‍♂️

Translating the abstract of a 2015 paper on the #coronavirus into English.

The paper is co-authored by Xing-Ye Gi, from the Key Laboratory of Special Pathogens and Biosafety, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China.

nature.com/articles/nm.39…
"The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome #coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV underscores the threat of cross-species transmission events leading to outbreaks in humans."

Yeah, no shit.
"Here we examine the disease potential of a SARS-like virus, SHC014-CoV, which is currently circulating in Chinese horseshoe bat populations."

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
- Jurassic Park.

Been doing my best to avoid twittering over the break, but a rumored return of #SARS in 2020 caused me to dive into twitter and google translate for more information. Here are some random facts, thoughts, and speculation on what may or may not be happening with in Wuhan.
First, #SARS does not necessarily mean SARS-CoV, the virus that caused the 2002-03 worldwide outbreak. Instead, it could refer to many illnesses like bird flu bacterial pneumonias as in the past before id. However, the description of atypical viral pneumonia echoes of SARS-CoV.
In reading google translate, a seafood market in Wuhan has been associated with all cases. The good news is that no healthcare workers seem to have been infected. This was a major factor in the spread of SARS and MERS CoV spread.
