naturalnews--2020-01-28--A quake in 1959 sent "time traveling" aftershocks that were felt 60 years later

( Natural News ) Sixty years after it left a trail of death and destruction , a powerful earthquake is still making its presence felt , according to a new study .
In a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters , researchers from the University of Utah determined that the small earthquakes that rocked Maple Creek , just outside of Yellowstone volcano caldera , were not triggered by the normal flow of magma in the region .
The tremors , according to the researchers , were in fact , aftershocks from the deadly Hebgen Lake earthquake that hit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1959 quake , according to records , took place on August 17 at 11:37 p.m. at Yellowstone National Park , and registered as magnitude 7.2 on the Richter scale .
According to official records , the quake , which lasted for approximately 30 seconds and killed 28 people , was so strong that it caused the ground to drop a full 20 feet in some places , and was even powerful enough to affect groundwater levels in a place as far as Hawaii .
In their study , the researchers said that while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” were common in the Yellowstone volcanic region , the tremors detected from 2017 to 2018 were different .

(Natural News) Sixty years after it left a trail of death and destruction, a powerful earthquake is still making its presence felt, according to a new study.
In a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, researchers from the University of Utah determined that the small earthquakes that rocked Maple Creek, just outside of Yellowstone volcano caldera, were not triggered by the normal flow of magma in the region. The tremors, according to the researchers, were in fact, aftershocks from the deadly Hebgen Lake earthquake that hit the area back in 1959.
The 1959 quake, according to records, took place on August 17 at 11:37 p.m. at Yellowstone National Park, and registered as magnitude 7.2 on the Richter scale.
According to official records, the quake, which lasted for approximately 30 seconds and killed 28 people, was so strong that it caused the ground to drop a full 20 feet in some places, and was even powerful enough to affect groundwater levels in a place as far as Hawaii.
In their study, the researchers said that while bursts of earthquakes known as “swarms” were common in the Yellowstone volcanic region, the tremors detected from 2017 to 2018 were different.
This one was a little bit longer and had more events than normal,” researcher Keith Koper, a geoscientist from the University of Utah, said. (Related: Hidden volcano beneath Yellowstone could wipe out human life across North America.)
Guanning Pang, Koper’s fellow geoscientist from the same university, added that it’s not unheard of for aftershocks of a large earthquake to continue decades after the initial event, noting that he has studied aftershocks as recent as 2017 from the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake in central Idaho.
According to Koper, there are formulas to predict the number of aftershocks one can expect to see after a quake. “For Hebgen Lake, there looked like a deficit in the number of aftershocks. Now that we’ve had these, it has evened things out back up to the original expectations,” Koper said.

Coronavirus Cover-Up Begins: China Threatens Social Media Users with Seven Years in Prison for Reporting Pandemic News that Doesn't Parrot "Official" Stories

( Natural News ) With coronavirus infections having leapt nearly 30 % in one day in mainland China , U.S. health officials are rolling out a “ parade of lies ” about the risks the United States might face .

China is burning through 100,000 full body health hazard suits each day , providing a strong hint about the real scale of this pandemic , despite the official figures released by the communist Chinese government .
That government , by the way , has gone out of its way to artificially limit the supply of diagnostic kits in order to suppress the number of people confirmed to be carrying the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just two days ago , showing the parabolic rise in infections .
Note that the real numbers are now nearly double what ’ s shown in this chart : Now , the government of China has issued “ harsh warnings to silence social media postings ” from users who are trying to survive the quarantined cities , which now encompass over 56 million mainland Chinese .
As The Epoch Times reported earlier today : The outbreak of Wuhan coronavirus has made many mainland Chinese realize that the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the truth or tell the whole story .
Social media users in Wuhan , especially doctors and nurses , share their experiences and post videos on social media to alert everyone of the true situation , which the authorities find embarrassing .

If the pandemic really isn ’ t spreading , then why worry about social media posts ?

The number of fatalities attributed to coronavirus have already surpassed those of SARS, and the number of infections and deaths is increasing at an exponential (parabolic) rate (see chart below).
Hundreds of commercial air flights from China continue each day, delivering potentially infected Chinese citizens to large cities around the world, including New York, London, Miami, Los Angeles and Toronto. The transmissivity of the virus is so high that every one person who carries it -- even when they show no symptoms -- can transmit the virus to two or three other people. This results in an exponential growth rate that quickly cascades out of control.
According to a study published in The Lancet, this coronavirus strain has a 15% fatality rate and an 83% infection rate for those exposed. The roughly 8-day incubation period is characterized by high contagiousness combined with a bizarre lack of fever symptoms in some carriers, further contributing to the spread of the virus by allowing "stealth carriers" to bypass airport screening.
China is burning through 100,000 full body health hazard suits each day, providing a strong hint about the real scale of this pandemic, despite the official figures released by the communist Chinese government. That government, by the way, has gone out of its way to artificially limit the supply of diagnostic kits in order to suppress the number of people confirmed to be carrying the virus.
Here's a chart from just two days ago, showing the parabolic rise in infections. Note that the real numbers are now nearly double what's shown in this chart:
Now, the government of China has issued "harsh warnings to silence social media postings" from users who are trying to survive the quarantined cities, which now encompass over 56 million mainland Chinese. As The Epoch Times reported earlier today:
The outbreak of Wuhan coronavirus has made many mainland Chinese realize that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its media mouthpieces do not tell the truth or tell the whole story. Social media users in Wuhan, especially doctors and nurses, share their experiences and post videos on social media to alert everyone of the true situation, which the authorities find embarrassing.
People who tell the truth online are accused of "spreading rumors" - just like in the USA
Individuals who dare to report the truth about the lack of supplies or the true numbers of coronavirus infections are accused of "spreading rumors," a tactic that smacks of Big Tech censorship in the United States. As The Epoch Times reports about this warning from the communist Chinese regime:
"A variety of unsubstantiated comments posted to the internet constantly stir up public panic,” the notice read, “All those who spread fake news and thus disturb social order will face up to three years in prison, detention, or disciplinary action. Those who have caused serious consequences will be given 3-year to 7-year prison terms."
That's right: Prison sentences for anyone who questions the official lies of the corrupt government. Sounds a lot like the way the tech giants operate in America when it comes to vaccines and chemotherapy: Anyone who questions the dogma of the corrupt establishment is immediately condemned as a menace to public health.
China, it seems, is borrowing Big Tech's playbook to deal with inconvenient truths they don't want the public to hear. The first casualty of every pandemic, never forget, is the truth.
China mirrors Google: All pandemic news FORBIDDEN unless it comes from official sources
Following in the footsteps of Google, which forbids all news sources unless they are "official" sources (i.e. fake news from the corrupt establishment), China has also announced that all pandemic news is forbidden unless it comes from official sources.

A leaked document from Cyberspace Administration of China also stated that starting on Jan. 26, all social media groups are forbidden to publish any news about Wuhan pneumonia that are not from official sources. The police will arrest all those who spread unconfirmed news.

In another week, that number will likely double to 200,000. At some point the number of sick and dead Chinese will be too much for even the communist regime to deny.

That's the real threat to China here: Not the pandemic but an uprising and a revolt against the communist regime.
For the situation in the USA, my best guess is that there are at least 500 carriers in America right now, most of them oblivious to the fact that they are infected. These are individuals, mostly at universities, who came into contact with infected Chinese students or who shared commercial air flights with them. These numbers won't become apparent for several more weeks, however, as the CDC is far behind on its sample testing.
The CDC's current claim that it is "observing" somewhere around 110 individuals in America holds about as much credibility as China saying only 130 people have died so far.

naturalnews--2020-01-28--Coronavirus transmission rates: Every ONE patient infects TWO to THREE other people

( Natural News ) A scientific analysis of the coronavirus outbreak has revealed that every person in Wuhan who contracts the disease spreads it to at least two or three other people .
Despite efforts to contain coronavirus with quarantines and increased public awareness , the disease is now spreading exponentially , especially in China where anywhere between 4,500 to 46,000 people now have it ( the official government figure is substantially lower than independent models and on-the-ground numbers ) .
By this upcoming May , China is expected to see 150,000 new cases of coronavirus per day , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its growing exponential spread from one person to upwards of three or even more .
Researchers from The University of Hong Kong estimate that the current number of infection cases is doubling every week – and that number could increase even more over time .
In addition to human-to-human transmission numbers , there ’ s also the zoonotic rate of infection , meaning the number of people infected through contact with animals .
As we reported , the Huanan Seafood Market where the media says coronavirus originated sells meat from rodent animals like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
More breaking news about coronavirus can be found at Outbreak.news .
Scientists say basic reproduction number for coronavirus is between 2.6 and 4.0 In epidemiology , there ’ s something called a basic reproduction number , or basic reproductive ratio , that denotes the number of new infection cases generated over the course of an infection period .
And for coronavirus , that number is disturbingly high .
One study out of Great Britain , led by infectious disease specialist Neil Ferguson , estimates that the Ro ( R naught ) for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conducted by researchers at the Guangzhou Provincial Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in China puts the Ro for coronavirus at 2.9 .
Researchers from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom , however , puts the Ro for coronavirus much higher at between 3.6 and 4.0 .
If this is an accurate estimate , then every person infected with coronavirus will spread it , on average , to between three and four other people .
And those three or four other people will each spread it to three or four other people , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Whether transmission continues at the same rate now critically depends on the effectiveness of the intense control effort now underway in Wuhan and across China , ” reported Ferguson and his team from Imperial College London .
It ’ s important to keep in mind that the Ro for coronavirus will likely differ from place to place .
In China , at least so far , the Ro seems to be higher than the Ro in other countries where coronavirus infection has been detected .
But an Ro above a 1 – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everywhere – means that coronavirus infections will only continue to rise , in some areas more quickly than in others .
Meanwhile , researchers in Guangzhou are expecting the number of coronavirus infections to be much higher than the number of SARS infections from the infamous 2003 outbreak .
The difference , they say , is that SARS symptoms were much more obvious early on , while coronavirus infections can take many days to emerge .
And before it even shows up in someone ’ s system , coronavirus is highly contagious , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Our findings indicate that more rigorous control and prevention measures on early detection , diagnosis and treatment of cases infected with 2019-nCoV ( coronavirus ) are needed to contain its further spread , ” they warn .

naturalnews--2020-01-28--Coronavirus cases are being MASSIVELY underreported, reveals nurse

( Natural News ) According to the mainstream media , about 4,500 people have contracted coronavirus ( 2019-nCoV ) thus far , and another 100 have died .
But these are just the official numbers , which one nurse says grossly underrepresent the actual number of cases , which is closer to 90,000 .
In a video she posted online , this nurse stated that in the Hubei Province where Wuhan is located , nearly 100,000 people have contracted coronavirus – a figure nearly 22 times higher than what the communist Chinese government is claiming .
A second nurse put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are available for viewing at The Gateway Pundit – that , while unconfirmed , corroborates the claims made by the first nurse .
Responding to these claims , a Chinese publication known as Renwu published a report blaming shortages and bureaucracy for the disparity in numbers between what the government is saying and what these nurses are saying .
Meanwhile , video footage continues to emerge showing people collapsing in the streets and panicking at empty grocery stores in China as coronavirus ravages the communist nation .
“ Provinces are being locked down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ large concrete blocks , travel being restricted and pop-up hospitals are being constructed , ” writes Kristinn Taylor for The Gateway Pundit .
One such hospital pop-up began construction on January 23 , and once completed will have 25,000 square meters of space and 1,000 beds .
This hospital is expected to be in operation by February 3 .
Over in Wuhan , government officials have reportedly banned all private vehicles from entering the urban core .
To keep up with the latest coronavirus news , be sure to check out Outbreak.news .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus testing kits from medical personnel to lie about infection numbers ?
As for the official infection and death numbers , reports are emerging to suggest that the communist Chinese government is keeping a lid on the truth by limiting the supply of diagnostic testing kits .
According to The Epoch Times , these diagnostic kits are only being provided to certain “ qualifying hospitals , ” and in quantities that are inadequate for the number of patients being admitted .
“ Medical personnel at these hospitals have said that the number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 10 percent of what they need to test patients , ” this report explains .
Researchers from The University of Hong Kong ( HKU ) have come to a similar conclusion , estimating that at least 44,000 people are already infected with coronavirus .
Here in the United States , the official number of coronavirus cases remains relatively low , but is increasing by the day .
Thus far , there are five confirmed cases , according to the government : one in Washington state , one in Arizona , one in Illinois @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of January 28 , however , the mainstream media is reporting that the number of coronavirus cases more than doubled overnight , jumping 60 percent .
The U.S. has since expanded its screening protocols for travelers coming from Wuhan into 20 different ports of entry , up from five previously .
“ Right now , there is no spread of this virus in our communities at home , ” stated Dr. Robert Redfield , director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) during a recent press briefing .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to bring more cases including the possibility of person-to-person spread , ” he added .
“ Our goal is to contain this virus and prevent sustained spread of the virus in our country.

"Provinces are being locked down, roads are blocked with berms and large concrete blocks, travel being restricted and pop-up hospitals are being constructed," writes Kristinn Taylor for The Gateway Pundit.
One such hospital pop-up began construction on January 23, and once completed will have 25,000 square meters of space and 1,000 beds. This hospital is expected to be in operation by February 3.
Over in Wuhan, government officials have reportedly banned all private vehicles from entering the urban core.

Is the communist Chinese government intentionally withholding coronavirus testing kits from medical personnel to lie about infection numbers?
As for the official infection and death numbers, reports are emerging to suggest that the communist Chinese government is keeping a lid on the truth by limiting the supply of diagnostic testing kits.
According to The Epoch Times, these diagnostic kits are only being provided to certain "qualifying hospitals," and in quantities that are inadequate for the number of patients being admitted.
"Medical personnel at these hospitals have said that the number of kits they are supplied is less than 10 percent of what they need to test patients," this report explains.
Researchers from The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have come to a similar conclusion, estimating that at least 44,000 people are already infected with coronavirus.
Here in the United States, the official number of coronavirus cases remains relatively low, but is increasing by the day. Thus far, there are five confirmed cases, according to the government: one in Washington state, one in Arizona, one in Illinois, and two in California.
As of January 28, however, the mainstream media is reporting that the number of coronavirus cases more than doubled overnight, jumping 60 percent. The U.S. has since expanded its screening protocols for travelers coming from Wuhan into 20 different ports of entry, up from five previously.
"Right now, there is no spread of this virus in our communities at home," stated Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during a recent press briefing.
"The coming days and weeks are likely to bring more cases including the possibility of person-to-person spread," he added. "Our goal is to contain this virus and prevent sustained spread of the virus in our country."
As of this writing, the World Health Organization (WHO) still hasn't declared the coronavirus outbreak to be a global pandemic, but that could change in the coming days.

The burden of social media
As reported by EurekAlert, social media is amazingly popular in Indonesia. Around 54 million of its 272 million inhabitants are active on Facebook – making it fourth in the rankings of Facebook-using countries in the world – and 22 million Indonesians regularly comment on Twitter – making it the world's fifth largest Twitter-using country.
Despite having the third fastest growing economy among all the G20 countries, however, Indonesia is a country of stark inequality, with an emerging consumer class that has left behind a large number of people who have not enjoyed the same employment and education benefits.
After examining the effects of Facebook, Twitter and chat use on 22,423 study participants located in 300 districts in the country, the research team found that this gap between the haves and the have-nots is cruelly highlighted on social media, with images of apparently happy, successful people creating envy and resentment among those who are struggling financially and have no real way to improve their circumstances.
Indonesia is also a country that has been struggling for decades to establish a democratic form of government. In fact, it has tried to implement three different types of democracy, all of which have failed. These political struggles and failures are also regularly featured on social media, with negative results.
EurekAlert reported:
A cacophony of news about government failures, corruption, crime, conflicts and poverty is amplified on social media on a daily basis - providing little escape for the country's citizens.

The link between social media use and mental health problems has not only been established in developing countries, however. As reported by the Independent, social media use can affect anyone’s mental health negatively in at least six different ways:
It can negatively affect your self-esteem, leading to depression;
It makes forging bonds and connecting with others in real-time harder, creating feelings of isolation;
It can distort the way in which we remember things, because it tends to only highlight the good things that have happened in our lives;
It interferes with our sleep patterns by suppressing the release of the sleep hormone melatonin, which can increase feelings of anxiety;
It interferes with your attention span, meaning you are easily distracted; and
Studies have found that many social media users report that it makes them feel anxious, sad and depressed.
Clearly, whether we live in a prosperous country or in the developing world, there are good reasons to limit the amount of time we spend on social media each day.

naturalnews--2020-01-28--Study: Consuming yogurt can help lower the risk of precancerous growths in men by 19 percent

( Natural News ) Colorectal cancer , as the name implies , is a type of cancer that begins in the colon or the rectum .

A serving of yogurt a day can keep colon cancer away
Previous research has established that eating large amounts of yogurt could lower the risk of bowel cancer by influencing the bacteria in your gut microbiome. However, it has never been clear whether yogurt intake could also lower the risk of pre-cancerous growths known as adenomas. In this study, an international team of researchers from the U.S. and China aimed to evaluate the association between yogurt intake and risk of conventional adenomas.
To do so, the researchers recruited and analyzed the diets and subsequent development of different types of adenoma among 32,606 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study and 55,743 women from the Nurses' Health Study who have undergone lower endoscopy — a procedure that enables doctors so see inside the gut — between the years 1986 and 2012.

The researchers also saw no associations between yogurt consumption and the development of a potentially more dangerous type of adenoma, the serrated adenoma. However, they saw a trend towards reduced risk for adenomas measuring 1 or more centimeters, which the researchers consider to be large.

Well , keep at it : A recent study suggests that they can lower your risk of developing Alzheimer ’ s dementia ( AD ) .
In a study published in Current Developments in Nutrition and funded by the California Strawberry Commission , researchers from Rush University found that elderly people who consumed high amounts of strawberries were less likely to develop Alzheimer ’ s dementia .

Study: Consuming more strawberries can help prevent Alzheimer’s in the elderly
Do you love snacking on sweet and juicy strawberries? Well, keep at it: A recent study suggests that they can lower your risk of developing Alzheimer’s dementia (AD).
In a study published in Current Developments in Nutrition and funded by the California Strawberry Commission, researchers from Rush University found that elderly people who consumed high amounts of strawberries were less likely to develop Alzheimer’s dementia.
The researchers arrived at the conclusion after observing 924 residents of retirement communities within the Chicago area over the span of about six years as part of Rush University’s Memory and Aging Project (MAP), a process known as a longitudinal cohort study.
According to the researchers, out of the 924 residents they observed, 245 participants developed Alzheimer’s dementia.
In order to properly investigate the possible link between strawberry intake and dementia, the participants – all dementia-free at baseline – were tasked to complete a food frequency questionnaire, as well as at least two annual neurological evaluations.
The diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia was based on the structured clinical neurological examination and standardized diagnostic criteria of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer’s Dementia and Related Disorders Association.
According to the researchers, the association between strawberry intake and Alzheimer's dementia was analyzed using proportional hazard models, which were then adjusted for the participants’ age, sex, education, physical activity and participation in cognitive activities, as well as the participants’ APOE-?4 genotype, their dietary intake of other fruits, and their total calorie intake.
Based on their findings, the researchers noted that 679 participants did not develop Alzheimer's dementia over the course of six years, which can be linked to the frequency of the participants’ strawberry consumption, since compounds found in strawberries have been identified in earlier studies as having antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can improve neuronal function and cognition.
Compounds in strawberries provide cognitive benefits
The researchers pointed out specific compounds – vitamin C, anthocyanidins such as pelargonidin, and total flavonoids – all of which are associated with lowering Alzheimer's dementia risk. As per the researchers, these associations remained even after further adjustment for cardiovascular conditions.
“74 percent of pelargonidin [among the participants] came from strawberries, and pelargonidin is one of the primary bioactives in strawberries, so we speculated that it is something that is driving all the antioxidant and inflammatory effects,” said Puja Agarwal of the Rush Institute of Healthy Aging.
The results of this research echo that of a 2017 experiment, which revealed that a flavonoid called fisetin can work against neurodegenerative diseases linked to aging such as Alzheimer’s dementia. (Related: Apples and strawberries contain a natural compound called fisetin that can make your skin look younger.)
A senolytic molecule, or a molecule that seeks out and destroys old or senescent cells, fisetin was shown to have positive effects on aged mice suffering from cognitive problems, with no evidence of acute toxicity even in high doses.
As per the 2017 study, which was published in Journals of Gerontology Series A, the researchers from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies found that the mice, after treatment, demonstrated not only fewer signs of inflammation and stress, but also sharper memories and better activity during tests.

Reasons to take vitamin D supplements regularly
Vitamin D isn't just beneficial for people with cancer. It is a well-known antioxidant, and many studies have highlighted and established the beneficial properties of this "sunshine vitamin."
For starters, a study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine found that supplementing with high doses of vitamin D had a positive effect on people with depressive symptoms.
Another study from the British Journal of Nutrition found that, during a 15-week weight reducing program, study participants who supplemented their weight management plan with vitamin D and calcium lost more weight than those who took placebos. The researchers suggested that vitamin D and calcium had an effect on suppressing appetite.
Furthermore, multiple studies have found that vitamin D supplementation could reduce a person's chances of developing several diseases such as the flu, multiple sclerosis and heart disease.
While the researchers and experts alike agree that deeper analyses are needed to confirm the findings, particularly in understanding just how much vitamin D you need to take, what levels are needed for its longevity properties to take effect, and how much vitamin D can extend your lifespan, supplementing with vitamin D is ultimately one of the ways to improve overall health.
With cancer being the second leading cause of death in the United States, it may be time to consider vitamin D as a way of preventing cancer mortality. To increase your vitamin D intake, Dr. Wasif M. Saif of the Northwell Health Cancer Institute suggests getting sensible sun exposure, eating foods rich in vitamin D, and taking vitamin D supplements.

CDC Diverts Flight of American Evacuees to Military Base in California as Coronavirus Pandemic Spreads
The CDC ordered a flight of up to 240 American evacuees from the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic region to be diverted to a military base in the United States, reports The Epoch Times
Upon orders from the CDC, the flight was diverted to March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County, California, yesterday evening (Jan. 28th). Before the flight was diverted by the CDC, it made a stop at a private terminal in Alaska. As TET reports:
The Boeing 747 stopped at a private terminal at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in Alaska before taking off to its final destination. The plane was slated to land at Ontario International Airport, about 35 miles east of Los Angeles, but was diverted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Curt Hagman, chairman of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors and a commissioner at Ontario airport, said that CDC officials alerted him to the diversion.
After the flight was diverted to the military base, the CDC refused to comment on why the sudden change of plans. However, a statement from the U.S. Department of Defense, via press secretary Alyssa Farah, stated:
March Air Reserve Base and the Department of Defense stand ready to provide housing support to [the Department of Health and Human Services] as they work to handle the arrival of nearly 200 people, including Department of State employees, dependents and US citizens evacuated from Wuhan, China.
Before being diverted, the flight was originally headed for Ontario International Airport in California, which is designated by the federal government as the "official repatriation center" for California, according to news channel KESQ. But the CDC intervened and diverted the flight to the military base instead.
"Shortly after the plane landed personnel in biological hazard suits helped passengers load into buses and emergency vehicles on the tarmac," reports CNBC.com.
The original plan had been to quarantine incoming passengers at the Ontario facility for up to two weeks. "Before the plane's arrival itinerary was changed to a March ARB, a CDC official had told CNN the passengers may be forced to stay in isolation between three days and two weeks," reports KESQ. "It was unclear whether the same procedure would be followed at the base."
In other words, it now seems possible or even likely that up to 240 Americans who have just returned from the coronavirus pandemic quarantine region of Wuhan will be released into the public population.
Here's a current map of the outbreak happening in China:
Confirmed: Pentagon's Defense Threat Reduction Agency now activated as a "force multiplier" to provide "additional surveillance" alongside the CDC
We now have confirmation that the U.S. military's Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has now been activated, serving as a "force multiplier" to provide "additional surveillance" alongside the CDC, according to a DoD official who spoke with CNBC. Additionally, Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, director of the emerging infectious diseases branch at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, told CNBC:
While typically the CDC is the lead on these things, the military has reference laboratories pretty much on every continent and specifically, we have labs in all of Southeast Asia, so we act as a force multiplier in providing additional surveillance to the CDC’s efforts...
Strangely, the Department of Defense is going out of its way to state that military personnel will not be in contact with evacuees. From DoD press secretary Alyssa Farah:
Health and Human Services (HHS) is responsible for all care of the evacuees, and DoD personnel will not be directly in contact with the evacuees and evacuees will not have access to any base location other than their assigned housing...
Not clear how the CDC can screen incoming Americans if some people show no symptoms during incubation
The CDC says they are screening all returning passengers at multiple stages of the flight. The stop in Alaska was conducted so that the CDC could conduct initial screening of people for possible symptoms, for example.
However, given that the coronavirus exhibits an incubation period of up to 14 days, during which infected patients are contagious even if they show no obvious symptoms, it remains unanswered how the CDC could possibly screen people if they are showing no symptoms.
It was revealed yesterday that the coronavirus can spread through casual contact. It is also documented that around 2% of infected patients show no symptoms such as fever or coughing.
According to TET, the CDC says the incoming Americans will be "monitored for up to two weeks." Does that mean they will be released into the population? Because there's nothing from the CDC that describes any sort of ongoing quarantine for those individuals who were diverted to the March Air Reserve Base.
