  The SARS coronavirus - 8 months duration

  by The Fall Guy in

  chinese government officials did not inform the world health organization of the outbreak of sars until february 2003. this lack of openness criminal cover-up caused delays in efforts to control the epidemic.

  severe acute respiratory syndrome (sars) - patients under 24 were least likely to die (less than 1%); those 65 and older were most likely to die (over 55%) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome.

  still no vaccine for sars, so how much worse is covid 19 really going to be - and to last?.

  Interesting that the particular virus (SARS) was brought to humans pretty much the same way this new corona virus has.
  

  Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory disease of zoonotic origin caused by the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Between November 2002 and July 2003, an outbreak of SARS in southern China caused an eventual 8,098 cases, resulting in 774 deaths reported in 17 countries (9.6% fatality rate),[1] with the majority of cases in mainland China and Hong Kong.[2] In late 2017, Chinese scientists traced the virus through the intermediary of civets to cave-dwelling horseshoe bats in Yunnan province.[3] No cases of SARS have been reported worldwide since 2004.[4] However, the related virus SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.

  

  Horseshoe bats are relevant to humans as a source of disease and as food and medicine in some regions. Several species are the natural reservoirs of SARS, though masked palm civets were the intermediate hosts through which humans became infected. Some evidence suggests that some species could be the natural reservoir of SARS-CoV-2, which causes coronavirus disease 2019. They are hunted for food in several regions, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa, but also Southeast Asia. Some species or their guano are used in traditional medicine in Nepal, India, Vietnam, and Senegal.

  What SHOULD have woken you up ?

  for myself, there is an embarrassingly long list of things that really should really have woken me up, fully.

  it was a long process for me, as a mind controlled born in, things i simply did not agree with, or knew were downright wrong, that built and built, and, eventually i woke up, after 58 bloody years in !.

  but just mainly for fun, what should have woken you up ?.

  Probably it should have been the actuality of there being thousands of christian based faiths but only a couple including the WTS made proclamations that mankind is living in the last days and that since starting in 1914 is last living generation to live in the old system of things before Jesus's new world order was to appear.

  .......and this organization has a publishing house operating at its core.

  a while back, we had a saturday wedding reception for a brother and sister from our kingdom hall.

  the reception ended at midnight.

  most of us got home at around 1:00 a.m. our sunday public talk meeting started at 9:30 a.m. .

  All you have to do to wake up a JWS audience is speak loudly the following .....

  " And on the great day of Armageddon Jehovah will throw fire balls down upon the earth's inhabitants killing those who didn't worship him and sanctify his name "

  That usually gets people to perk up .

  Not saying I didn't do that .

  That's all there ever was to being a Jehovah's Witness

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovah's witnesses weren't jehovah's witnesses until 1931.until that year the people who had been hard-headed followers of end times false prophecies by william miller and seventh day adventists, more or less settled into following charisma-ballyhoo preaching by folks like "pastor" c.t.

  russell.what was it that attracts these people?

  it is a thin veneer of pious bible interpretation as a means of prepping for the end of the world.yep.

  When you think about it JWS are just in a endeavoring state of reiteration emulating the bible's documented expressions of human ignorance.

  Like the apparent existence of human ignorance which existed 3 thousand years ago never happened at all.

  Yet we have so much more knowledge of what happened in those ancient times, why the people then thought about the active world in which they lived and why they thought those things.

  To them the gods in the heavens were responsible to what happened here on earth, which to their understanding directly effected them.

  Religions like the JWS are actively embracing the fear, ignorance and superstition of those ancient people to the determent and folly to themselves and perhaps to the rest of humanity living today.

  Some people are prone to over sensationalizing matters. JWS are one group of people who have been doing this out the fear mongering ignorance and teachings of the Watchtower Corporation.

  seriously, i can't help wondering whether their hiatus from meetings and service will alter their post-covid-19 lifestyle once they experience the freedom of life in the absence of the hamster wheel?.

  The WTS/JWorg will no doubt use this event to show mankind is living in the last days.

  You can bet on it.

  Of course they wont honestly come forward with the fact that mankind has gone through serious plagues before going right back to biblical times, but fear is something useful to these guys because they know they can psychologically control people by implying and imposing fear.

  The WTS/JWorg knows fear and ignorance are exploitable commodities for them, for they can mentally entrap people in this manner to get these ones to serve their own means and purpose .

  “I’m young and healthy so coronavirus won’t affect me” (why we need to stop this disease at ALL costs!)

  by slimboyfat in

  even if you are young and heathy there are very good reasons to fear this disease and take drastic actions to avoid it individually, and halt it together as communities.

  not only would it be traumatic as a society to lose so many old and unwell family members and friends, but survivors of the disease may suffer significant health problems in the future.

  survivors of the first sars virus in 2003 have suffered significant lung problems.

  Let's say Canada has had 5000 cases. What is the death rate now.

  As of today there has only been 244 cases in Canada confirmed with only one death.

  It would be conceivable to assume the death rate will rise as the confirmed cases rise but it does show this virus is not an absolute death sentence to those who catch it and catching it to date is a social improbability.

  She would be considered spiritually weak but sexually strong.

  The elder bothers would most likely counsel her then go home sexually stimulated and bounce their wife's.
