New study shows coronavirus can live in patients for up to 37 DAYS after they’re diagnosed
Researchers from China have discovered that coronavirus patients can be infectious for up to five weeks after they first develop symptoms . Their study found that COVID-19 can live in people's respiratory tracts for as long as 37 days after they were diagnosed.
Most healthcare experts around the globe have been recommending an isolation period of just two weeks. Both Israel and the city of Beijing, for example, have implemented 14-day quarantines either for citizens returning from abroad (in China's case) or for all visitors (as is the case for Israel). This means that common medical understanding of how long coronavirus patients and people under investigation of having the virus may be lacking.
Coronavirus' genetic information lingers for far longer
In this study, published in The Lancet, doctors from Wuhan and Beijing studied 191 coronavirus patients from two hospitals in Wuhan, the epicenter of the worldwide pandemic. All 191 patients were either discharged or succumbed to the virus by January 31.
The team collected epidemiological, demographic, clinical, laboratory, treatment and outcome data from the patients' electronic medical records.
Using this data, the researchers found out that viral shedding occurred in all 191 patients for an average of 20 days after diagnosis, with the shortest observed duration of shedding being eight days and the longest being 37 days.
Viral shedding is when the virus is still detectable in the patients, whether it be in the blood, saliva, stool or other forms of organic matter collected by researchers. In the case of The Lancet's study, the researchers figured this out after they discovered COVID-19 RNA -- the part of the virus that carries genetic information -- in respiratory samples from coronavirus patients. They also found that the virus' RNA was "sustained until death" in people who succumb to the virus.
"Prolonged viral shedding provides the rationale for a strategy of isolation of infected patients and optimal antiviral interventions in the future," wrote the authors in their study. "This has important implications for both patient isolation decision making and guidance around the length of antiviral treatment."
Many studies around the world agree: COVID-19 is far more resilient
This study is just the latest in a slew of research that shows the coronavirus can survive for far longer than common medical understanding would have you believe.
One study, conducted by the government of the United States with the help of other scientists, found that the coronavirus can survive in the air for up to three hours and can stay alive on surfaces of objects for up to three days. Their tests show that the virus can survive on copper objects for up to four hours, on cardboard for a whole day and on plastic and steel surfaces for up to a terrifying 72 hours.
Another study, published by Chinese researchers in The New England Journal of Medicine, found that the coronavirus can incubate in patients for up to 24 days, although the median incubation period is much lower at three days. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes that people are most likely to infect others with COVID-19 when they're at their sickest, this study opens up the possibility that more people are being infected by asymptomatic patients who are unknowingly spreading the coronavirus due to a lack of awareness of the need to self-quarantine.
The CDC's findings on the spread of the coronavirus have been supported by a study conducted by German researchers -- one of the first coronavirus studies to be conducted by non-Chinese scientists outside of China. This study found that COVID-19 patients "shed" large amounts of the virus even before symptoms appear, meaning that the virus can easily spread to others even while the infected people are only showing minor symptoms such as coughing or fatigue. (Related: German chancellor Merkel warns 70 percent of Germany now at risk of being infected by the coronavirus.)
As of March 12, the World Health Organization reports that there are 125,048 confirmed coronavirus cases, with 4,613 deaths; 1,215 of those cases and 36 of those deaths are from the United States.
The Chinese researchers from The Lancet believe that their study provides more evidence that government healthcare departments are correct in their strategies of isolation for people they suspect are infected. However, infectious disease experts around the world may now need to lobby their countries' officials more intensely about reassessing how long people need to stay in quarantine once they suspect they're infected after their case has been confirmed and as soon as medical practitioners announce that they've reportedly recovered from the virus.
If current medical quarantine practices remain as they are, the number of coronavirus cases around the world may skyrocket due to people not maintaining their imposed periods of isolation for long enough.
This may especially be the case for countries that aren't well-equipped to handle the outbreak.

Homesteading 101: How to make your own survival garden (and 5 vegetables to plant)
Whether you're hunkering down in your home or bugging out in a remote location, it's important to keep yourself fed and healthy. One common prepping strategy is simply stockpiling enough food to sustain you and your family for as long as it can. However, no food can last forever. This is where having a survival garden and growing your own food will come in handy. (h/t to UrbanSurvivalSite.com
Planning your survival garden
A survival garden is a little different from a regular garden. When bugging in or out with your loved ones, it would take quite a few plants to sufficiently feed everyone, especially during scenarios where food supplies are running low. However, before you start planting anything, there are a few things to keep in mind when planning for your survival garden.
The first thing you should consider is the amount of space you have. While it's definitely possible to grow food regardless of available space, certain types of vegetables might be difficult to grow properly. (Related: Gardening 101: Ten crops you can grow in buckets throughout the year.)
Next is the amount of sunlight in your area. If you can reliably expose your garden to about six to eight hours of direct sunlight, you will be able to plant a large variety of plants. However, if you don't, you can grow plants that do well in partial sunlight.
Lastly, you must consider the nutritional value of the vegetables. Plant those that are both easy to manage and nutrient-dense that will help keep up your health. In addition, if living with other people, you should consider their preferences to make sure everyone is fed.
Fast-growing vegetables
If you have decided to start your survival garden, here is a list of nutritious and fast-growing vegetables that you can start planting:
Radishes. These small, red vegetables are easy to grow and packed with minerals and vitamins like folate, vitamin B6 and potassium. You can start planting radish seeds at least two to three weeks before the final frost date, and will take another three to four weeks before you can harvest your first batch. Peas. Peas can provide numerous vitamins like B1 and C, folate and fiber. These vegetables grow vertically, meaning they take up much less space compared to other vegetables. Peas are also frost hardy, meaning they can survive well during the spring and fall. Cucumbers. This vertical plant can be harvested within 50 to 60 days after planting. While cucumbers are a well-known vegetables for those who like pickling, fresh cucumbers can also be just as good – providing you with magnesium, potassium, vitamins A, C and K. However, as cucumbers are a warm season plant, you must wait until the final frost date passes before attempting to plant. Spinach. Spinach is a nutritional powerhouse, jam packed with minerals like manganese, magnesium and iron. However, spinach requires quality soil to grow properly so be prepared to use plenty of compost. Once planted, it only takes about four to six weeks before you can harvest your first batch. Turnips. Surprisingly enough, turnips are actually two vegetables in one. Not only you can eat the bulbs, but you can also eat the bushy turnip greens on top. The greens themselves mature much faster than the bulbs, being ready to harvest in just about 40 days compared to the 60 days the bulbs need.

How to prep if you’re bugging in when SHTF
Preparing for a SHTF scenario can be a daunting task, but the first question you must ask before you start prepping is whether you're going to bug in or bug out. If a disaster is impending and you don't have a lot of time to gather your belongings and get out of dodge, you may not even be able to answer that question -- which is why it may be a good idea to be prepared to bug in anyway. Here are seven key things to consider when bugging in during a SHTF scenario. (h/t to PlanAndPrepared.com
Get home and stay home
If you're at work, or running some errands when disaster strikes, go home immediately. Don't try to gather supplies at the last minute, because that's probably what everybody else is doing. Use this time to get home.
If you have the time to prep, figure out the route you're going to take if disaster strikes while you're away from home. Plan out alternate routes as well, along with contingency plans should you need to abandon your vehicle and set out on foot. (Related: How to prep your vehicle for emergency situations.)
Communicate with your team
There's a chance that the other members of your team -- be it your family, people who live with you or even your trusted neighbors -- won't be at your bug-in shelter when SHTF. You must learn to communicate when this happens.
Cell reception will probably be either poor or down completely, so you must learn how to properly communicate without it -- whether that means picking up a landline, using walkie-talkies or even using a ham radio.
Be very detailed about what you want, and keep communication clear and concise. Keep in mind that your communications may not be private, especially if you're using radios. Learn code words for specific locations instead of giving out full addresses. Also consider using prearranged signals -- for example, a yellow ribbon tied to a tree in front of your home means everything's safe, while a red ribbon means your team should stay away.
Secure your bug-in location
Once you're home, you must secure it for the long term. This means strengthening your home from possible attackers. Reinforce windows and doors with wood planks and deadbolts. Use defensive landscaping techniques to learn which trees and shrubs to plant in your front yard. If you have a firearm, train with it regularly (as long as you have the ammunition for it). If you don't have one, consider getting one or getting a member of your team one. Install tall, chain link fences that can slow down would-be intruders.
Assess the situation
You may not have the full picture of what's happening when SHTF. Try and remedy this immediately. If you still have an internet connection, check your trusted news sources for information. If not, gather information on what's happening around you and speculate. If there are cracks on the pavement, it's probably an earthquake. If you hear gunfire in the distance, it may be an invasion. Ask your team or trusted neighbors and other individuals what they know.
Get some proper hardware to help you learn about what is going on. Get some emergency radios or a police scanner and tune in to what's happening. Learn how to use a ham radio and connect with other preppers on the network. If you have the resources, invest in a drone that you can use to observe your surroundings, and get a bigger picture of the entire situation.
Establish a proper network
To maintain your knowledge of the post-SHTF world, you must learn how to continue gathering intelligence from other people. This means you must form friendships with people around you. Learn about the needs of your neighbors and establish a network of mutual aid and solidarity with them. In return, they can tell you everything they know about what's currently happening in your wider world. If you still have an internet connection, you can even do this through social media.
Lie low
If everyone around you knows that you're the most prepared person in the block, you'll be seen as the biggest threat. You must learn how to keep a low profile. Don't brag about your big stockpile of food and supplies. Blend in with your neighbors and don't act like you have everything planned out. Learn some basic acting so you can look and act just as scared and bewildered as them. Lying low will keep you away from danger.
You should be able to figure out how bad your overall situation is within the first few days after the initial disaster. Hopefully, these tips about bugging in, gathering intel and forming strong, mutual aid bonds with your team and your neighbors can help you get through more than just a few days.

Published author invents KRAVE KICKER – World’s first supplement beverage that kicks cravings for nicotine and sugar, naturally
More than 35 million smokers and 15 million vape enthusiasts in America may just have a way to kick those cravings, especially when they can't get to their nicotine. From the health writer who authored “ Don’t Eat Cancer ” and “ Stop Smoking Naturally in 14 Days ,” comes a mind-blowing beverage invention that could be a major stepping stone for people trying to cut back on cigarettes, switch to vaping, or find something healthy to quell those compelling cravings.
A new, proprietary blend of supplements that comes in one of those liquid “shots” (2.5 fluid ounces) contains a superfood you may not have heard about yet, called Mucuna Pruriens (also known as Cowitch or L-Dopa). The "shot" is also loaded with top quality, bioavailable vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin), vitamin C (as L-Ascorbic acid), and about half-a-cup-of-coffee-worth of natural caffeine from guarana. Smokers and people who vape can substitute with a healthy Krave Kicker and raise their dopamine levels safely, thus kicking the cravings of artificial stimulants and drugs that have nasty side effects and health repercussions.
Mucuna Prurians, a key ingredient in Krave Kicker, comes from a tropical bean that’s ground up and put in supplements. Krave Kicker is the only food or supplement beverage blend marketed for smokers and the vape community to help them when they can’t smoke or vape, like when they're at work, traveling, or attending indoor events. The inventor has been recommending these supplements in his books for years.
Supplementing to control cravings more effective than 'weaning' with a patch or gum
The nicotine patch, for starters, is a scam that was invented by Big Tobacco to pretend to wean smokers off nicotine, but patches contain, on average, 7 to 21 milligrams of nicotine slowly released over time; whereas, a cigarette’s nicotine is treated with ammonia, potentially jacking up the fix to over 100 mg of vapor-ready nicotine.
Then you have the nicotine gum, and that’s much weaker than the patch, delivering only about 2 to 4 mg of “nic fix.” That’s about as useless for quitting as those scary CDC commercials. We won’t get into the prescription drug side effects, because most smokers already know those all too well. Let’s talk about science now and a natural remedy that was tested in clinical research studies and found to have positive results.
Dopamine is the “feel good” hormone our body creates naturally for reward and motivation. In a clinical study at Baylor Medical College in Texas, researchers discovered low dopamine levels are the main reason smokers relapse when trying to quit. That’s because dopamine is released when smoking due to the drug nicotine. Over time, the addiction hijacks the reward and motivation systems of the user. The authors of the study published their findings in a medical journal where they said the best treatment strategy is to elevate dopamine levels when the smoker can’t smoke. But how do you raise your dopamine levels safely and naturally?
Clinical research behind key supplements in Krave Kicker
Also, according to scientific research published by the National Institutes of Health, there’s a powerful link between sugar consumption and our body’s production of dopamine. People who over-indulge in sugar daily get a dopamine boost just before they eat it, and during. This is mental and physical. Over time, they must have sugar to feel that same boost, or now instead, they could try the natural dopamine booster Krave Kicker.
Plus, in a peer-reviewed, double-blind clinical and pharmacological study, published in the British Medical Journal, scientists and doctors discovered mucuna helps Parkinson’s patients catapult their dopamine production, since they have historically low dopamine levels, just like smokers. Mucuna also helped Parkinson’s patients recover memory and focus, as they experienced mood elevation.
People who try to quit smoking, or even when they can’t get to their nicotine fix, get cranky, nervous, anxious, depressed and/or stressed. That’s because dopamine is a brain chemical messenger that tells you to seek something enjoyable, so it’s the key to reward and motivation. For example, we release it when we take nicotine, have sex, or even just eat food we enjoy (think birthday cake).
Krave Kicker is a supplement beverage, so you feel BETTER than you do on nicotine or sugar-loaded junk science
Natural remedies are amazing because you feel great, without those crazy side effects, crashes, or long-term health consequences. So don’t go falling for the hook, line and sinker that mainstream media slings around, trying to discredit various forms of holistic and indigenous medicine. Natural products like Krave Kicker, the world’s first and only 2.5 oz. beverage that kicks cravings for nicotine and sugar, can help you attain better health, for less money and without those chemical-laden "side effects" you probably know all too well.
Mark Twain once joked that, “Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.” If you need a break from nicotine fits or your just a sugar addict, check out the new beverage invention Krave Kicker.

( Natural News ) The media is anxiously waiting to report whether Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro tested positive ( and then negative ) for coronavirus .
The Brazilian leader recently shook hands with President Trump .
If the Brazilian leader tests positive for coronavirus , the media will claim that Trump ’ s brief interaction with Bolsonaro is reason enough to believe that Trump is infected , carrying the virus around and putting other people at risk .
Brazilian leader and his aide , who tested positive for coronavirus , were in close proximity to President Trump Jair Bolsonaro is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aides , Fabio Wajngarten , has tested positive for coronavirus .
President Trump and VP Mike Pence were recently pictured standing next to Wajngarten at Mar-A-Lago .
Three members of the Brazilian delegation are now experiencing flu-like symptoms and are undergoing tests to confirm the infection .
The media is doing everything in their power to make the President and the general public paranoid about every hand he shakes , every surface he touches , and every gasp of air he takes .
The media wants to see President Trump put himself in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not sick at this time .
Trump told reporters today that he is not worried about possible exposure to the coronavirus .
Making contact with a sick person does not mean you will get sick .
Every person has their own immune system ; you can either be confident in the ability of your own immune system , giving it the instructions it needs in order to function , or you can live in fear of sickness and distance yourself from the rest of the world .
When pressed about the close contact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ Let ’ s put it this way : I ’ m not concerned.
” How successful will the media be in convincing the public that Trump is spreading the disease ?
When Trump heard about the Brazilian leader ’ s aide being exposed to the virus , he said , “ We did nothing very unusual.
” Trump told reporters , “ We sat next to each other for a period of time , had a great conversation.
” The media will continue to pressure Trump to get tested for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Grisham had to please the media about the situation .
She said Trump and Pence “ had almost no interactions with the individual who tested positive and do not require being tested at this time.
” Every interaction that Trump makes with people will now be scrutinized by the media .
Trump has met with dozens of officials and executives this week , including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell .

Media pressuring President Trump to self quarantine after possible exposure to coronavirus
The media is anxiously waiting to report whether Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro tested positive (and then negative) for coronavirus. The Brazilian leader recently shook hands with President Trump. If the Brazilian leader tests positive for coronavirus, the media will claim that Trump’s brief interaction with Bolsonaro is reason enough to believe that Trump is infected, carrying the virus around and putting other people at risk.
Brazilian leader and his aide, who tested positive for coronavirus, were in close proximity to President Trump
Jair Bolsonaro is being tested because one of his top aides, Fabio Wajngarten, has tested positive for coronavirus. President Trump and VP Mike Pence were recently pictured standing next to Wajngarten at Mar-A-Lago. Three members of the Brazilian delegation are now experiencing flu-like symptoms and are undergoing tests to confirm the infection.
The media is doing everything in their power to make the President and the general public paranoid about every hand he shakes, every surface he touches, and every gasp of air he takes. The media wants to see President Trump put himself in voluntary isolation, even though he is not sick at this time. Trump told reporters today that he is not worried about possible exposure to the coronavirus.
Making contact with a sick person does not mean you will get sick. Every person has their own immune system; you can either be confident in the ability of your own immune system, giving it the instructions it needs in order to function, or you can live in fear of sickness and distance yourself from the rest of the world.
When pressed about the close contact with potentially infected people, Trump said, "Let's put it this way: I'm not concerned.” How successful will the media be in convincing the public that Trump is spreading the disease?
When Trump heard about the Brazilian leader’s aide being exposed to the virus, he said, “We did nothing very unusual.” Trump told reporters, “We sat next to each other for a period of time, had a great conversation." The media will continue to pressure Trump to get tested for the virus.
White House press secretary Stephani Grisham had to please the media about the situation. She said Trump and Pence "had almost no interactions with the individual who tested positive and do not require being tested at this time."
Every interaction that Trump makes with people will now be scrutinized by the media. Trump has met with dozens of officials and executives this week, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. If these people’s immune systems are weak and they get sick this week, Trump could be blamed for spreading the disease to them, even if he has no signs or symptoms of COVID-19 infection.
U.S. leaders beginning to self quarantine
Other Congress members and staff members of the President have been taking extreme cautionary measures, isolating themselves for fourteen days because they came in proximity of someone who might have been in contact with someone who had an infection. Florida Governor Rick Scott has had no contact with Bolsonaro and the sick Brazilian delegation but he decided to self quarantine “out of an abundance of caution.” Senator Lindsey Graham is another one who has decided to self quarantine, even though he has “no recollection” of direct contact with the Brazilian leader or his aide.

BuzzFeed journo reportedly blogged about pedo fantasies, rape jokes and doxing
A BuzzFeed senior reporter who accused Zero Hedge of 'doxing' a Chinese scientist has reportedly left a disturbing internet footprint rife with pedophilia and rape jokes... oh, and doxing the owners of a restaurant.
(Article by Tyler Durden republished from ZeroHedge.com)
Ryan Broderick, a boy-band aficionado who runs a personal tumblr blog, wrote in a Friday BuzzFeed article that Zero Hedge "has released the personal information of a scientist from Wuhan, China, falsely accusing them of creating the coronavirus as a bioweapon, in a plot it said is the real-life version of the video game Resident Evil." (for what really happened read our response here).
After his 'hit piece' was published - which included factual mistakes, no outreach to Zero Hedge, and an intentional 'doxing' of Zero Hedge (by their standards), the @zerohedge Twitter account was permanently suspended for violating their 'abuse and harassment' policy. Shortly thereafter, Broderick updated his article, writing "Zero Hedge's Twitter account was suspended Friday, following the publication of the scientist's name."
Yet, while Zero Hedge republished publicly available, professional contact information for the Wuhan scientist - Broderick openly 'doxed' the owners of Amy's Baking Company in 2013, tweeting a link to the private contact information of the husband and wife owners who made headlines for a controversial episode of Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares." The information included their home address, phone numbers, email addresses, and a 'dossier' covering the couple's marriage and financial history.
https://twitter.com/ali/status/1223815671357890562
Somehow Broderick avoided a permanent Twitter suspension for 'targeted harassment.'
Perhaps even more disturbing, however, are several posts uncovered on "Ryan Broderick's Cool Time Fun Blog," along with questionable tweets and other writings as documented by internet sleuths in the wake of our Twitter suspension. They include pedophilia, rape jokes, and more.

( Natural News ) My , oh my , how the tables have turned .
Buzzfeed News , which earlier this year started publishing a Wuhan coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) “ hoax ” list is suddenly having to downsize its employees ’ wages in response to the ongoing crisis .
Reports indicate that some Buzzfeed News staffers , including some executives , are slated to endure as much as a 25 percent pay cut .
And company CEO Jonah Peretti has confirmed that he will no longer even be taking a salary as long as the crisis continues .
Most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cuts for at least the months of April and May , and possibly longer .
Those in the lowest bracket receiving under $ 65,000 annually will receive a five percent reduction , while those making between $ 65,000 and $ 90,000 will receive a seven percent cut .
Other staff in higher brackets face 10 percent cuts , while the highest executives within the firm will be tacked with 14 to 25 percent pay reductions .
Those making between $ 90,000 and $ 124,900 will face nine percent cuts , while those in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face 11 percent cuts .
As difficult as they will surely be , the cuts are being implemented in order to avoid having to lay anybody off , Peretti says .
Buzzfeed News will also be trimming new hiring while placing increased restrictions on travel , as well as cutting real estate costs wherever possible .
“ I understand this will be a real hardship for everyone , but our goal is to make it possible for all of us to get through this , ” Peretti is quoted as saying .
Peretti @ @ @ @ @ @ @ salary It ’ s worth pointing out that Peretti ’ s humble approach to this trying situation is a far cry from how former Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg handled his company ’ s crisis , taking a $ 100 million golden parachute while Boeing employees were let go without a second thought .
Buzzfeed News employees seem satisfied with Peretti ’ s approach as well , with one having told the media that “ a lot of people are happy with this decision because there are no layoffs.
” “ People are willing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ colleagues employed , ” this same staffer added .
Sadly , other media outlets and newspapers aren ’ t faring so well .
G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller recently sent out a memo to his company ’ s employees warning them to “ brace for impact.
” He added that , due to declining advertising dollars , the company ’ s financial outlook over the next several months does not “ look pretty.
” So , while Buzzfeed News certainly has dealt its fair share of fake news over the years , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a female is perfectly normal and healthy , the company is taking care of its employees which is commendable .
“ We ’ ve been monitoring the human and economic impact of the coronavirus and it ’ s clear we will see a major economic downturn in the next few months , ” Peretti added in a memo to his employees .
“ In our own business we want to save as many jobs as possible , even at the expense of wages declining .
We don ’ t know how long this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quickly to make sure our business remains sustainable and we will lift the program and reevaluate if things improve , ” he added , emphasizing that the lowest paid employees will suffer the least impact with these changes .
“ [ L ] eaders in the company making larger salaries took on more of the burden.

The same Buzzfeed that claimed coronavirus was no big deal has now been forced to slash pay for its own workers due to lockdowns
My, oh my, how the tables have turned., which earlier this year started publishing a Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "hoax" list is suddenly having to downsize its employees' wages in response to the ongoing crisis.

"I understand this will be a real hardship for everyone, but our goal is to make it possible for all of us to get through this," Peretti is quoted as saying.
Peretti is worth commending for not taking a salary
It's worth pointing out that Peretti's humble approach to this trying situation is a far cry from how former Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg handled his company's crisis, taking a $100 million golden parachute while Boeing employees were let go without a second thought.
Buzzfeed News employees seem satisfied with Peretti's approach as well, with one having told the media that "a lot of people are happy with this decision because there are no layoffs."

So, while Buzzfeed News certainly has dealt its fair share of fake news over the years, including pushing the idea that being fat as a female is perfectly normal and healthy, the company is taking care of its employees which is commendable.
"We've been monitoring the human and economic impact of the coronavirus and it's clear we will see a major economic downturn in the next few months," Peretti added in a memo to his employees.

naturalnews--2020-01-30--Over the Last 7 Days, Coronavirus Infections Have Increased 1000% ... What Happens Next?

( Natural News ) When it comes to global pandemics , the numbers really matter .
Even more important is the growth rate in those numbers , which speaks to the transmissivity of the pathogen and how quickly it ’ s spreading .
Today , the official government reporting on the coronavirus puts the number of infected individuals at 9,816 , with 213 reported dead .
Seven days ago , on Jan. 23rd , the official numbers were 941 infected , with an unknown number dead .
This means in seven days , the number of confirmed infected patients has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s an increase of over 10X , or 1000 % .
Software models of the coronavirus told us that the number of infected patients would merely double every seven days , but according to this trend , we ’ re actually seeing a rise of 1000 % in ten days : ( note , this chart doesn ’ t yet show Jan. 30th , which is even higher ) This new count from the South China Morning Post shows the current numbers of 9816 infected and 213 dead : The rate of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ahead This increase rate can not possibly be sustained and is likely to settle to a lower rate once the full effects of China ’ s draconian quarantine efforts take hold .
If China ’ s quarantine is successful , we would expect to see a leveling off of reports of new infections .
That would indicate the high transmission chapter of this outbreak would be waning , at least for China .
However , if the growth rate remains above a doubling of infections every 7 days or so , it means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the quarantine .
Our best guess here is that this shockingly high growth rate won ’ t last long and will begin to reveal a reduction in the rate of growth of new infections .
That will likely happen over the next 2 – 8 days .
If it doesn ’ t happen , it means things are far worse than we feared .
In other words , we do not expect infections to grow another 1000 % in the next 7 days .
Rather , the rate of growth is likely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
A more conservative estimate is that we will see a total of 20,000 infections 7 days from now ( roughly a doubling of current infections ) , which is still an exploding pandemic , by the way .
If the infections double every week , it doesn ’ t take long before it ’ s impacting millions of people .

ALERT: Coronavirus Now a GLOBAL Pandemic: Here’s What You Need to Know
With the World Health Organization now having declare the coronavirus pandemic a global pandemic emergency, for the very first time a few Americans are starting to pay attention and wonder what's next.
As one of the top science researchers in the independent media today, I'll share my honest assessment of where we are. No spin, no government lies, no exaggerations, nothing but cool-headed, honest analysis:
Based on everything I'm seeing so far, if President Trump doesn't halt flights from China in the next 72 hours, it is highly likely that the coronavirus pandemic will be unable to be contained in the United States. This means it would then become endemic in the USA and around the world, eventually. It would likely kill off between 5% - 10% of the population, and the rest would survive with new immunity, living in the aftermath of what would essentially be an economic apocalypse. But humanity would recover. It's not the end of the world.
However, if flights from China are restricted in the next three days (by Feb. 2), there is a good chance the pandemic can be contained in the United States, at least for the current wave.
However, containment seems a lot less likely in other countries such as Thailand, the Philippines, Korea and even China itself. And if this starts to spread into Africa, India or South America, then it's basically so far out of containment that it will never be fully stopped. At that point, we would all just need to accept the fact that it will become endemic and perhaps 5% - 10% of the world population will be killed by it (although that number might go higher or lower, depending on mutations).
The truth is, we won't even know the full answer to all this for a few months, since this virus can experience explosive new pockets of outbreaks in secondary communities or nations where it's not currently being recorded.
Right now, there is a reasonable, realistic chance that the world might contain this outbreak, but that chance is slipping away by the hour. If this isn't dramatically curtailed very, very soon -- as in, the next week or so -- it's probably beyond any reasonable expectation of long-term containment. In effect, EVERY country in the world has to make no mistakes and achieve full containment, or it eventually breaks out of containment and exposes everyone sooner or later. It only takes one country failing to respond in a perfect way for this virus to break containment and spread everywhere.
I ask you: What are the odds that every major nation in the world will do a perfect job containing this virus?
My guess is that the odds of that happening are approaching zero.

( Natural News ) Stress can either be a person ’ s boon or his bane , depending on the situation .
In certain situations , it can motivate people , but those with chronic levels of stress are more likely to develop health problems , including heart disease and even mental disorders .
To combat its adverse effects , researchers have developed a simple test to help measure and monitor stress levels .
The test , a brainchild of researchers from the University of Cincinnati , uses a biosensor that measures stress hormones through sweat , blood and urine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the researchers published in the American Chemical Society Sensors , they highlighted the device ’ s potential , in particular , for home application .
The National Science Foundation and the U.S. Air Force Research Lab sponsored the study .
“ I wanted something that ’ s simple and easy to interpret , ” said Andrew Steckl , a co-author of the study and a professor of electrical engineering at UC .
“ This may not give you all the information , but it tells you whether you need a professional to take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it controls you For most people , stress is deeply ingrained in daily life .
While healthy levels of stress can help a person perform better in school or work , being subjected to elevated levels of stress can lead to bad habits like sleep deprivation and overeating .
Over time , chronic stress can lead to the development of more serious conditions , like atherosclerosis .
For UC researcher Prajokta Ray , who is also the study ’ s first author , the primary motivation behind the study was to develop a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and affordable .
The device , which is currently in its development phase , uses UV spectroscopy to measure stress-related hormones and neurotransmitters .
These compounds include cortisol – better known as the stress hormone , serotonin , dopamine , norepinephrine and neuropeptide .
The device detects their concentrations in various bodily fluids .
“ You ’ re not going to replace a full-panel laboratory blood test .
That ’ s not the intent , ” Steckl noted .
“ But if you ’ re able to do the test at home because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want to know where you stand , this will tell whether your condition has changed a little or a lot.
” Despite the device being in its early stages , people can still make use of other natural methods to manage their stress levels .
Here are some ways to naturally reduce stress .

Scientists develop home-testing kit that measures stress hormones
Stress can either be a person's boon or his bane, depending on the situation. In certain situations, it can motivate people, but those with chronic levels of stress are more likely to develop health problems, including heart disease and even mental disorders. To combat its adverse effects, researchers have developed a simple test to help measure and monitor stress levels.
The test, a brainchild of researchers from the University of Cincinnati, uses a biosensor that measures stress hormones through sweat, blood and urine. In their preliminary paper, which the researchers published in the American Chemical Society Sensors, they highlighted the device's potential, in particular, for home application. The National Science Foundation and the U.S. Air Force Research Lab sponsored the study.
"I wanted something that's simple and easy to interpret," said Andrew Steckl, a co-author of the study and a professor of electrical engineering at UC. "This may not give you all the information, but it tells you whether you need a professional to take over."
Taking control of stress before it controls you
For most people, stress is deeply ingrained in daily life. While healthy levels of stress can help a person perform better in school or work, being subjected to elevated levels of stress can lead to bad habits like sleep deprivation and overeating. Over time, chronic stress can lead to the development of more serious conditions, like atherosclerosis. For UC researcher Prajokta Ray, who is also the study's first author, the primary motivation behind the study was to develop a test that was cheap, effective, and affordable.
The device, which is currently in its development phase, uses UV spectroscopy to measure stress-related hormones and neurotransmitters. These compounds include cortisol – better known as the stress hormone, serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and neuropeptide. The device detects their concentrations in various bodily fluids.
"You're not going to replace a full-panel laboratory blood test. That's not the intent," Steckl noted. "But if you're able to do the test at home because you're not feeling well and want to know where you stand, this will tell whether your condition has changed a little or a lot."
Natural ways to reduce stress levels
Despite the device being in its early stages, people can still make use of other natural methods to manage their stress levels. Here are some ways to naturally reduce stress. (Related: How to Manage Stress and Anxiety Naturally.)
Take time to exercise
Getting the body moving is a great way to help relieve mental stress. Exercise, in particular, helps lower cortisol levels in the body and releases endorphins. The latter improves mood and offers pain relief. Additionally, exercising helps a person get better sleep.
Control what you can
People who feel stressed out often feel that they cannot manage things. However, making simple behavioral changes can greatly help manage, even avoid, stress. For instance, if the sound of honking cars is exceptionally irritating, try to avoid these areas, or plan a different route to avoid being stressed out.
Join a yoga or meditation class
Studies have found that practicing either yoga or meditation can help reduce stress levels as it develops mindfulness and improves mental health.
Spend time with family, friends or like-minded communities
Social support, such as talking to others and listening, can go a long way when it comes to stress relief. Both men and women benefit from camaraderie and friendship, so make some time to interact with others.

The risk of braces: Study finds dental correction doesn’t always yield the expected confidence boost … Are the benefits worth the health risks?
Orthodontic treatments are anything but cheap, but many parents are convinced that scratching together the money for braces for their children will make all the difference to their future confidence levels. After all, it just doesn’t make sense that the kid with the ugly, crooked teeth will grow up to be as confident as the one with the perfect, straight teeth, right?
Actually, as surprising as it might seem, that simply isn’t true. A study by researchers from the University of Adelaide in Australia has found that forking out the money for braces for your children will not necessarily provide the confidence boost that you might expect. In fact, people who did not have braces fitted when they were younger actually exhibited a pattern of higher psychological scores in four different areas than those whose parents did find the money to give them braces.

NASA's Mars orbiter takes a breathtaking photo of a 50-foot crater; impact could have occurred between 2016 to 2019, say experts

( Natural News ) NASA has captured what appears to be a new 50-foot wide impact crater on the surface of Mars .
Onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter ( MRO ) , a spacecraft circling and taking photographs of the Red Planet , NASA ’ s High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment ( HiRISE ) instrument – a 143-pound camera – snapped a picture of a new crater , which researchers have estimated to be between 49 to 53 feet wide .
The image was captured in April 2019 and was posted in June .
It shows what appears to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of an otherwise flat and red area of Mars .
The limitations of the MRO means that it can ’ t look everywhere at the same time – therefore NASA , along with researchers from the University of Arizona ( UA ) who operate HiRISE , are unsure of when exactly the impact occurred .
They estimate that the crater was formed sometime between September 2016 and February 2019 .
The MRO captures hundreds of photos similar to this crater every year .
However , Veronica Bray , UA staff scientist and HiRISE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is one of the largest ones she and her team have seen .
From the 13 years that MRO has spent observing the Martian surface , this massive impact is a fairly rare occurrence .
Bray estimated that the impactor , perhaps a meteor , would have been around five feet wide .
If it had flown into Earth ’ s much thicker atmosphere , it would have either burst into smaller pieces or eroded away completely .
She concluded that the impactor may have been a stronger , more solid rock because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team have observed , most rocks that enter the Martian atmosphere shatter high in the atmosphere , creating chains of small craters on the surface , not one large , explosive crater like the one in the HiRISE photo .
Bray explained that this powerful impact crater is a reminder of how Mars is a dynamic place .
It has shifting sand dunes , whirling dust devils and it even has avalanches .
“ It ’ s a gorgeous crater .
I ’ m glad I got it in the color strip , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ color of the crater is fascinating because it shows what ’ s underneath all the red dust on the Martian surface .
Bray and other researchers believe it to be basaltic rock based on the colors of the image and their current understanding of Martian geology .
There are also parts of the impact crater that have a bluish color , which may be exposed ice , although they aren ’ t entirely certain .
The crater landed near the relatively warm Martian equator , although Bray said she doesn ’ t discount @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ice underneath the dusty red surface .
Peter Grindrod , a Mars researcher and scientist , said , referring to the size of the fresh crater , “ This kind of blew me away .
