The video did not address how domestic animals and wildlife (vague) spreads the virus . Can dogs and cats spread the virus. Are they immune to ill effects, but can still spread the virus to those persons not immune and thereby cause illness and death to those whose immune systems do not respond quick enough to save them?
Are birds in the group of spreaders of the virus along with bats? Are civet cats in Asia (pets for many there) immune but spreaders? Do wild civet cats get the virus from bats—they are both nocturnal and may eat the same stuff and trade saliva? Is the ACE2 hormone that regulates capillaries and hence blood pressure and especially lung capillary mechanics the carrier of the virus in the body of humans and other mammals? How are blood banks checking for ACE2 in blood, waiting to be transfused, for virus contamination? Are donators blood getting tested for virus contamination? Should dogs and cats be tested and quarantined and/or eliminated as might be warranted? Is ingestion (eating) contaminated blood samples or animal flesh a mode for spreading the virus to humans? What is the best way to improve response of an individual/s immune system to the virus?---Does sutherlandia plant help? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutherlandia_frutescens I hope WHO knows the answers to these questions. If not, they should ask the Chinese who may know about civet cats as pets, their capture from the wild for the pet market, etc. Bob Cook --------------------------------------- From: Blaze Spinnaker<mailto:blazespinna...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, March 1, 2020 3:42 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com<mailto:vortex-l@eskimo.com> Subject: Re: [Vo]:More on the WuFlu conspiracy theory https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/01/health/coronvirus-patient-research-cdc/index.html Though, if our capitalist system works like this maybe we would be better off with communism. At the very least the CDC should issue a press release and say they are tabulating data and when the information will arrive. Stuff like this breeds very very nasty conspiracy theories.

Not sure it's that great for sharing critical information broadly, coming up with vaccines, medical tests and and treatments.

I must ruefully admit that Chinese communism does seem well suited for dealing with this. But, more than that, what Aylward emphasized is the scientific, rational, pragmatic, data-driven approach. That's as much part of U.S., European and Japanese culture as it is Chinese. I'd like to think so, anyway. It is unfortunate that the U.S. effort will be headed up by nitwits who don't even believe in the Theory of Evolution. This is like assigning energy policy to someone who has no idea where electricity comes from. It is unfortunate, but I hope not disastrous. I hope they stay out of the way and let qualified people do their jobs. I fear that even the qualified people will ignore the lessons from China.
