Interview with a Medical Detective

If you want to learn more about the Wuhan Virus, check out Joe Rogan's latest podcast posted below.  He interviewed Dr. Michael Osterholm, a well-respected Epidemiologist. It is a rather sobering conversation. Watch at least the first 15 minutes. Enjoy.

Buy as much ammunition as you can afford as soon as you possibly can. Today, if you can.

Rogan: "Now, what can be done? What can the average person do? I see people walking around with masks on, wearing gloves ... Is that nonsense?"

Osterholm: "Largely, yes."

Osterholm: "We're not going to have a vaccine anytime soon. That's happy talk."

Good grief! I'm not buying ammo because I'm not bloodthirsty psycho. Hungry sick people are going to get a meal from me even if it is only Ramen noodles. I can get cases of ramen for $2.50. Cheaper than thinly veiled racism and murder plots.
I live by WWJD.

I’ve not heard that this virus can be transmitted by just air before now. Is he the only one claiming this?

Bill Dees said...

"Wuhan" virus? Are you a big fan of Rep Paul Gosar, who is infamous for posting as truth a faked photo of President Barack Obama shaking hands with Hassan Rouhani, the president of Iran? I guess that tells us the level of confidence we can have in the truth of your blog.

People have been lighting up this guy's inaccurate comments.

He's NOT claiming "it's airborne" in the sense of long distance transmission. He should qualify it with "might."

Listen to what he says. If you are BREATHING in someone else's breath, many things are transmissible. Vapor, like you being able to smell the garlic in someone's breath after a meal, can contain the virus, just as it contains the scent molecule you inhaled. 6 feet or so. And that's why they put folks in negative pressure rooms IF possible (IF they know they have it).

He's NOT saying it's "airborne" like measles, or FMD, which can carry 1/3 mile, or that you need to wear a stupid mask.

From Johns Hopkins: Transmission

"Both flu and COVID 19 can be spread from person to person through droplets in the air from an infected person coughing, sneezing or talking.
A possible difference: COVID-19 might be spread through the airborne route (see details below under Differences)."

"Transmission

While both the flu and COVID-19 may be transmitted in similar ways (see the Similarities section above), there is also a possible difference: COVID-19 MIGHT be spread through the airborne route, meaning that tiny droplets remaining in the air could cause disease in others even after the ill person is no longer near."

But he's right if he uses the word "might" in guidance as of today.

No panic. It's not a virus that's going to drive to your house. But read. Emphasis on the "MIGHT" and "NEAR" and most people do not get very sick at all.

Just like the newer "vapor detection dogs" that can smell explosives lingering in the air, it don't last long or forever. It's not hiding in a package from China. This is not a science fiction BS movie.

But remember, today's virus is different than next month's.

Dr. James Robb, MD Sez said...

@1:53 PM: this is from James Robb MD, a virologist/pathologist with 50+ years experience. He contradicts the speaker, and in my estimation is more accurate than the speaker.

Dr. Robb says that it is mostly caught from surface contamination, and only airborne infection if someone coughs or sneezes DIRECTLY on your unprotected face.

You can Google "biography James Robb MD" to see his qualifications.

"This virus is spread in large droplets by coughing and
sneezing. This means that the air will not infect you! BUT all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious for about a week on average - everything that is associated with infected people will be contaminated and potentially infectious. The virus is on surfaces and you will not be infected unless your unprotected face is directly coughed or sneezed upon.

This virus only has cell receptors for lung cells (it only infects your lungs) The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth."

I'm fond of Kung Flu. The tall Chinese manager at Mr. Chen's thought it was funny too. Anyone who frequents the grocery store knows who I'm talking about.

If the disease cannot be spread by breathing then why are 70 people in Tn and north Ms. quarantined because they had "contact" with an infected individual out of Memphis ? Did they all kiss this individual or what ?

Ammunition is and will be far more valuable than Ramen noodles. You can't see the big picture. I understand.

"Wuhan Virus," really?

Why don't you just call it the Chinaman Croak? If you're going to be a racist POS, at least go all the way.

Nice to see a local blog promoting a podcast consisting of 2 people discussing something without arguing or fighting.

Hey 5pm....For what is Ebola named? Lyme disease? Spanish Flu? Zika?

They are all named for the region from which they originated, or in the case of the Spanish Flu, where it was first ID'd. Race has nothing to do with it. Any idea where Lyme disease originated you racist dolt? Yes, you are a racist. That is all you see. You are the very definition of it. Any idea where Lyme is? It doesn't get much more white than Lyme, Connecticut....idiot.

And furthermore 5pm, your bullshit is exactly why people like me are fed up and why we started supporting Trump and will now cram him down your f'ing throat. We are sick of the boy who cried wolf, racist everywhere mantra that your type constantly blathers about. This is a great example. You are too f'ing stupid to stop to understand exactly why the name is what it is. You just figured since a white man (Hannity) said it, it must be racist. That makes you a racist (and woefully unintelligent).....idiot.

I guess you live by your rule....if you are going to be a racist, race baiting, uneducated moron....at least go all the way. You sure did.

Chinese wet market

Anonymous said...

Something that Thad Cochran got very right.

The role of China’s wet markets in the coronavirus outbreak

Wet markets — open marketplaces with stalls selling fresh meat and fish — are considered a traditional form of food retail in large Asian cities. Despite the expansion of modern supermarkets and grocers, wet markets have remained a mainstay for Chinese consumers and are often considered superior to big box stores.
~~~~~
... the narrow, crowded markets — brimming with everything from freshly caught fish to live poultry and reptiles — are “a breeding ground” for new and dangerous infections, said Evangelyn Alocilja, a professor and researcher of biosystems at Michigan State University.

The close contact between humans and a wide array of live animals makes it easier for viruses to jump between species, she said.

2:26 - You completely lost me at 'see above' and 'see below'. Which medical journals publish your nonsense?

Anonymous said...

I've been to wet markets outside of Beijing. All kinds of critters to eat, including raw eel, starfish, beetle pupa, and live scorpions on skewers. Not sure if there was any pangolin or civit cat meat in the back for special requests. It's tough to change cultural habits that are thousands of years in the making, but they've got to keep trying or this will keep happening.

Same goes at the wet market on the I-55 Frontage road next to Cowboy-Maloney's. I love that place.

7:10 and 7:18 Thank you. That’s the response that needs to be given EVERY time. Those idiots are more concerned with being PC than they are their (our) own safety.

Liberalism TRULY is a mental disorder!

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time.
