Isn't it interesting/ironic that two states that have generally thumbed their nose at Federal Laws/ICE and have created sanctuary cities, now want the Feds help with the pandemic and hospital ships.
I don't know what's going to happen with the disease, but got this email information on coronavirus. Sadly the source of the information is not included/verifiable. I don't know if the information is correct, but it's food for thought at a minimum. Perhaps those more knowledgeable than me can weigh in on the info below.
If it is incorrect I will happily delete the post.

>> Feeling confused as to why Coronavirus is a bigger deal than Seasonal
flu? Here it is in a nutshell. I hope this helps. Feel free to share
this with others who don’t understand... It has to do with RNA
sequencing.... I.e. genetics.
>>
>> Seasonal flu is an “all human virus”. The DNA/RNA chains that make
up the virus are recognized by the human immune system. This means that
your body has some immunity to it before it comes around each year...
you get immunity two ways...through exposure to a virus, or by getting
a flu shot. Novel viruses, come from animals.... the WHO tracks novel
viruses in animals, (sometimes for years watching for mutations).
Usually these viruses only transfer from animal to animal (pigs in the
case of H1N1)
>> (birds in the case of the Spanish flu). But once, one of these animal
viruses mutates, and starts to transfer from animals to humans... then
it’s a problem, Why? Because we have no natural or acquired
immunity.. the RNA sequencing of the genes inside the virus isn’t
human, and the human immune system doesn’t recognize it so, we
can’t fight it off. Now.... sometimes, the mutation only allows
transfer from animal to human, for years it’s only transmission is
from an infected animal to a human before it finally mutates so that it
can now transfer human to human... once that happens..we have a new
contagion phase. And depending on the fashion of this new mutation,
thats what decides how contagious, or how deadly it’s gonna be..
>>
>> H1N1 was deadly....but it did not mutate in a way that was as deadly as
the Spanish flu. It’s RNA was slower to mutate and it attacked its
host differently, too. Fast forward. Now, here comes this
Coronavirus... it existed in animals only, for nobody knows how
long...but one day, at an animal market, in Wuhan China, in December
2019, it mutated and made the jump from animal to people. At first,
only animals could give it to a person... But here is the scary
part.... in just TWO WEEKS it mutated again and gained the ability to
jump from human to human. Scientists call this quick ability,
“slippery”
>>
>> This Coronavirus, not being in any form a “human” virus (whereas we
would all have some natural or acquired immunity). Took off like a
rocket. And this was because, Humans have no known immunity...doctors
have no known medicines for it.
>>
>> And it just so happens that this particular mutated animal virus,
changed itself in such a way the way that it causes great damage to
human lungs..
>>
>> That’s why Coronavirus is different from seasonal flu, or H1N1 or any
other type of influenza.... this one is slippery AF. And it’s a lung
eater...And, it’s already mutated AGAIN, so that we now have two
strains to deal with, strain s, and strain L....which makes it twice as
hard to develop a vaccine.
>>
>> We really have no tools in our shed, with this. History has shown that
fast and immediate closings of public places has helped in the past
pandemics. Philadelphia and Baltimore were reluctant to close events in
>> 1918 and they were the hardest hit in the US during the Spanish Flu.
Factoid: Henry VIII stayed in his room and allowed no one near him,
till the Black Plague passed...(honestly...I understand him so much
better now). Just like us, he had no tools in his shed, except social
isolation...
>>
>> And let me end by saying....right now it’s hitting older folks
harder... but this genome is so slippery...if it mutates again (and it
will). Who is to say, what it will do next. Be smart folks... acting
like you’re unafraid is so not sexy right now. #flattenthecurve. Stay
home folks... and share this to those that just are not catching on. ??
