Hello John and Doves,
Found an interesting and
ominous update/warning on the coronavirus on the TODAY
youtube channel, Feb 12, 2020.
We know that this
coronavirus is out of control in China - there is no
possibility of containing it. Will other countries
share China's fate? Will cities outside of China
become 'Wuhans'?
WHO is now calling the
coronavirus disease "COVID-19 - for COronaVIrus
Disease 2019.
The first place outside
of China to be put in a lockdown (for 20 days) is the
commune Son Loi, Vietnam - with 10,600 people and 7
positive cases. To date there are 17 confirmed cases
in Vietnam.
Experts are expecting
the number of infected to double every 2.4 days. And
the RO value (represents the number each sick person will
infect) is between 4.7 and 6.6 (one infected person will
cause 4.7 to 6.6 new infections). Much higher than
initially suspected/reported.
China has reported a
sharp rise in coronavirus cases in Hubei provine, where
the cases were first reported.
CDC has reported a
second confirmed case in San Diego County Hospital.
I wrote
in a previous letter to Doves about animal infections
and Wuhan city telling people to 'take care of' their
pets or THEY would cull them for them. Received a
USAlert with reference to the US military prepping for
coronavirus pandemic and noted guidelines about
pets/animals.
3.A.1.C.2.F.
Marines may not travel, visit public/crowded areas, or use
public transportation and should avoid
interaction with pets of other animals, to the greatest
extent possible.
3.A.1.C.3.
Until further notice, it is recommended that civilian
employees and contractor personnel, and family members
returning from China follow existing CDC guidance.
Key aspects include voluntarily: remaining at
home, avoiding congregate settings, limiting
close contact with people and pets/other animals to
the greatest extent possible, avoiding
travel, self-monitoring, and seeking immediate medical
care if symptoms develop.

I have not seen anything
in the MSM about pets/animals and infected people in the
U.S....I think they just aren't telling us anything
yet. I believe that there are two hosts (at least) -
human and animal. China seems to think so.
This information about
animals is on the CDC website:
"Should I be concerned
about pets or other animals and 2019-nCoV? While
this virus seems to have emerged from an animal source, it
is now spreading from person-to-person. CDC
recommends that people traveling to China avoid animals
both live and dead, but there is no reason to think that
animals or pets in the United States might be a source
of infection with this new coronavirus.
(hmmmm)
Should I avoid contact
with pets or other animals if I am sick? Do not
handle pets or other animals while sick. Although
there have not been reports of pets or other animals
becoming sick with 2019-nCoV, several types of
coronaviruses can cause illness in animals and spread
between animals and people. Until we know more,
avoid contact with animals and wear a facemask if you must
be around animals or care for a
pet."https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html

Time will tell as this
disease continues to spread. The world seems to be
where China was in early December. Heaven help us if
in two months we are where China is now.
"Health officials believe
there is still opportunity to prevent widespread
transmission of the coronavirus in the United States, the
director (Robert Redfield) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention said Wednesday, even as he warned
that more human-to-human transmission here is
likely.....If the United States begins to see instances in
several parts of the country in which a single case
ignites four "generations" of human-to-human infection,
Redfield said - meaning a person who contacted the virus
infects a person, who infects another person, who then
infects another person - then the CDC is likely to
conclude containment of the virus has failed."
The WHO's strategy for the
world to halt the spread of this is "containment for
elimination" "was successful during the 2002-2003 SARS
outbreak - though this outbreak is already nearly six
times larger than SARS."

CDC
director: More person-to-person coronavirus infections
in U.S. likely
Remember, this coronavirus
isn't SARS and SARS wasn't weaponized. We are in new
waters with this virus. Don't expect it to fit any
of the previous models or follow the path of any of the
previous viral outbreaks.
Our prayers are lifted up
for the infected, and those who will be infected.
Pray for the people of
China.
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
