New cases of human-to-human coronavirus transmission now reported in Taiwan and Japan
First it was Germany. Now, Taiwan and Japan are both reporting that coronavirus is spreading in their countries from person to person, debunking earlier claims that human-to-human transmission isn't a major concern with this outbreak.
Not long after German authorities confirmed that a Chinese woman passed coronavirus on to a male colleague of hers while in Germany, health officials both in Japan and Taiwan have now confirmed similar cases within their own borders, raising fears of exponential growth and a possible global pandemic.
In Japan, a male bus driver in his 60s who hasn't traveled to China anytime recently is said to have contracted coronavirus from one of his tourist passengers. In Taiwan, a 50-year-old man was infected by his wife after she returned from a work trip to China.
This Taiwanese man is the eighth confirmed case of coronavirus in Taiwan, and the first known human-to-human transmission case in the island nation. Taiwanese officials have responded by telling people not to travel anywhere in China except for Hong Kong and Macau, after previously recommending against travel exclusively to the Hubei province where Wuhan is located.
As for Japan, officials there have sent a plane to Wuhan to evacuate its citizens from the disease-stricken mega-city. The United States has reportedly done the same, followed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (C.D.C.) issuing heightened warnings against all non-essential travel to China.

U.S. expands screening of travelers as coronavirus cases continue to soar
The U.S. is also implementing expanding screening protocols for travelers arriving from Wuhan to some 20 airports and other ports of entry all across the country, up from five previously.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) has upped its global risk assessment for this coronavirus outbreak from "moderate" to "high," though this was done quietly without an official announcement.
At the same time, the W.H.O. continues to refuse declaring this coronavirus outbreak a global emergency, for which the agency has received much criticism. The official death count has now reached 130 people, with the official infection count steadily climbing well above 6,100.
As for the evacuation flight of Americans from Wuhan, this C.D.C.-ordered flight that was originally supposed to land in San Francisco, but that was redirected to Ontario International Airport in Southern California, was redirected again to March Air Reserve Base, also in Southern California.
The C.D.C. reportedly ordered this second diversion to the military base, but refused to publicly state why. The Department of Defense (D.O.D.), on the other hand, did issue a statement indicating that the Americans onboard the flight would be given housing at the base.
"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 U.S. citizens evacuated from Wuhan, China," stated D.O.D. press secretary Alyssa Farah.
These individuals were supposed to have been kept in isolation at Ontario International Airport for anywhere from three days to two weeks as they were assessed for infection, this covering the upper end of the possible incubation period for the virus. But it's now unclear whether the same procedure will occur at March Air Reserve 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," writes Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
Stay tuned for more breaking updates about this outbreak as it verges upon global pandemic status in the coming days.

Catastrophe looms as experts fear China waited too long to quarantine Coronavirus: “This time I’m scared”
Fears of a deadly global pandemic of the kind not seen since Medieval times are quickly rising as the Coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan, China, in the central region of the country, spreads.
In fact, experts are already concerned that Chinese authorities — perhaps as a way to conceal the severity and scope of the virus in order to quell public anxieties and keep order — moved too slowly to quarantine the bug.
As reported by Agence France Presse, the virus has already managed to go global, reaching other parts of Asia, Europe, and the Western Hemisphere. On Sunday, USA Today reported that five cases had turned up in the United States.
“I think we have passed the golden period of control and prevention," said Guan Yi, an expert on viruses at Hong Kong University, AFP reported.
Chinese authorities did not start cutting off transport links out of Wuhan, a city of 11 million, until Wednesday. Since then, several other cities have been added to the quarantine list; in all, some 56 million Chinese have been quarantined for the time being.
But the death toll from the virus continues to rise and since it’s already clear the virus has spread, many experts believe Beijing may have acted too late.
Guan noted that huge numbers of people left Wuhan just before the lockdown and could have been harboring the virus already as they headed out ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday. (Related: Hundreds of Thousands of Chinese Fled Wuhan by ROAD as Quarantine Targeted Railways and Airports.)
In fact, as USA Today reported, medical experts note that the infection has been found to spread before the afflicted exhibit any symptoms.
Agence France Presse noted further:
Meanwhile, new gaps in the security web in Wuhan and its surroundings will likely emerge over coming days, even as China deploys its formidable security forces.
They are manning road blocks that have been set up, while train and plane services have been suspended.
‘Historically, quarantines have proven ineffective’
After noting the situation in Wuhan up close and personal, Guan said he was pessimistic that the disease could be contained.
“I've never felt scared," Guan said. "This time I'm scared.”
Others noted the difficulty of containing Coronavirus.
“Especially people with money and connections, they're going to make a run for it... and they'll probably be successful," Zi Yang, a senior analyst at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, told the news agency.
Prof. Adam Kamradt-Scott of the University of Sydney, a global health security expert, told AFP that just a “handful” of countries could even pull off a mass quarantine.
He said the United States was one of the few that could, using assets that are already in place such as state-level National Guard units. However, he said that U.S. officials would likely face a lot of pushback given that Americans are used to having many more civil liberties than are Chinese citizens.
The expert also noted that because of China’s hyper-efficient ‘security apparatus,’ “I can’t imagine there would be too many countries that would be able to do something on this scale as quickly.”
But then again, other experts say relying on quarantines of entire populations is foolhardy because it almost never works.
In fact, the concept is “purely an illusion,” Bruno Haloua, a medicine historian at the University of Paris IV.
“Quarantine has never worked. Each time, there have been problems,” he said.
Global health experts who are also familiar with China’s ‘habit’ of underreporting calamities in order to quell dissent and keep its people from panicking believe Beijing’s Communist leadership is already fudging the death and infection numbers.
For example, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that the death of a 53-year-old fitness trainer, who checked into a hospital in Wuhan about a week earlier, was listed as “severe pneumonia” as its cause, not the Coronavirus.

naturalnews--2020-01-30--Active duty Army personnel have worse heart health than civilians: Action must be taken to help sold

( Natural News ) Soldiers are regarded as some of the most physically fit individuals , as their occupation demands for them to be at peak health conditions .
However , a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association reveals that a smaller proportion of active US Army personnel have ideal cardiovascular health compared to the civilian population .
The recent research points out that less than one-third of soldiers who participated in the study had ideal blood pressure compared to about half of civilians who were tested .
Researchers evaluated a group of 263,000 active-duty US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 64 who had a health examination in 2012 , and a similar group of American civilians .
These civilians participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey administered between 2011 and 2012 .
The findings stood in contrast with the study ’ s initial assumptions .
The researchers expected the soldiers to have ideal heart health due to the Army ’ s regular health screenings and emphasis on the physical condition of their soldiers .
( Related : Low intake of fresh fruits and vegetables linked to cardiovascular death : Following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) These groups were evaluated under four guiding criteria : weight , blood pressure , current rate of tobacco smoking and diabetes .
These components represented four out of the seven possible health factors that the American Heart Association ( AHA ) considers when gauging for ideal cardiovascular health .
They were unable to assess three other metrics – total blood cholesterol , diet and physical activity – due to the Army providing insufficient data .
Each of the four factors that could be tested was classified as either poor , intermediate or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the researchers by the AHA .
The survey showed that , overall , a greater proportion of the Army personnel got a score of ideal when it came to diabetes and smoking tobacco .
Researchers were quick to point out that the difference when it came to smoking was minimal .
The biggest disparity came when they evaluated blood pressure .
Only an estimated 30 percent of soldiers had ideal blood pressure compared to 55 percent of civilians .
This is very surprising considering that the US Army ’ s initial screening prohibits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from enlisting .

Active duty Army personnel have worse heart health than civilians: Action must be taken to help soldiers become heart-healthy, note scientists
Soldiers are regarded as some of the most physically fit individuals, as their occupation demands for them to be at peak health conditions. However, a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association reveals that a smaller proportion of active US Army personnel have ideal cardiovascular health compared to the civilian population. The recent research points out that less than one-third of soldiers who participated in the study had ideal blood pressure compared to about half of civilians who were tested.
Researchers evaluated a group of 263,000 active-duty US Army personnel between the ages of 17 and 64 who had a health examination in 2012, and a similar group of American civilians. These civilians participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey administered between 2011 and 2012.
The findings stood in contrast with the study's initial assumptions. The researchers expected the soldiers to have ideal heart health due to the Army's regular health screenings and emphasis on the physical condition of their soldiers. (Related: Low intake of fresh fruits and vegetables linked to cardiovascular death: Following a balanced diet boosts heart health.)
Gauging ideal heart health
These groups were evaluated under four guiding criteria: weight, blood pressure, current rate of tobacco smoking and diabetes. These components represented four out of the seven possible health factors that the American Heart Association (AHA) considers when gauging for ideal cardiovascular health. They were unable to assess three other metrics – total blood cholesterol, diet and physical activity – due to the Army providing insufficient data. Each of the four factors that could be tested was classified as either poor, intermediate or ideal according to the criteria given to the researchers by the AHA.
The survey showed that, overall, a greater proportion of the Army personnel got a score of ideal when it came to diabetes and smoking tobacco. Researchers were quick to point out that the difference when it came to smoking was minimal. The biggest disparity came when they evaluated blood pressure. Only an estimated 30 percent of soldiers had ideal blood pressure compared to 55 percent of civilians. This is very surprising considering that the US Army's initial screening prohibits potential recruits with elevated blood pressure levels from enlisting.
"Ideal weight and blood pressure metrics were strikingly low in both active duty personnel and civilians," said Loryana L. Vie, study author and professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research found that only a third of both the Army and the civilian groups had ideal weight and that about 20 percent of both groups were active tobacco smokers.
Wake-up call for health in the Army
Vie herself was very surprised by these results, believing that the the Army group would score better in terms of their health due to the higher fitness standards required to get into the Army and the need to maintain your strength while serving.

Furthermore, he said that this study will recommend further research that focuses on addressing possible lapses in Army nutrition, as well as analyzing the effects of deployment experience on troop health. "Ultimately, we need to help our soldiers become heart healthy."

Why do over 80% of older Americans consider themselves “healthy” despite chronic illness?
A National Health Interview Survey found that 82 percent of American adults between the ages of 65 and 74 rated their health as either "excellent," "very good" or "good" despite the fact that around 60 percent of older Americans are managing two or more chronic conditions
The National Health Interview Survey was administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to their data, only 18 percent of participants described their health as either "fair" or "poor." However, this totally contradicts data from the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, which states that roughly 60 percent of adults over the age of 65 are battling at least two chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, bronchitis or emphysema, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and cancer.
Older adults may be thinking differently about their health
The disparity lies in what older adults perceive as "good health." For many people, this means not being burdened by either an illness or a disability. However, for seniors, poor physical function is less important. The factors they consider more important are vitality, healthy emotional well-being, having positive social relationships, remaining active and being generally satisfied with life.

Goldman's metrics for what constitutes "good health" are different from that of younger adults, who may measure their ideal health as closer to the norm of "there shouldn't be anything wrong with me." These standards seem to change as people get older.
Self-perception is more than just wishful thinking
Many researchers have noted that self-rated health can be a good predictor of longevity, even if many of those who claim to be in good health are dealing with one or more chronic conditions. Good cognitive health and use and access to healthcare services are also good factors for long life. (Related: Unlocking longevity: What do people who live to 100 have in common?)

Coronavirus CENSORSHIP: Entire media falsely claiming Zero Hedge doxxed scientist by simply naming him as paper author
The left-wing media is having a meltdown over an article recently published bythat speculates about novel coronavirus being a potential bioweapon that originated in a laboratory.
Entitled, "Is This The Man Behind The Global Coronavirus Pandemic?" the article explains how a November 18, 2019, "help wanted" ad put out by the Wuhan Institute of Virology sought two post-doctoral fellows to use "bats to research the molecular mechanism that allows Ebola and SARS-associated coronavirus to lie dormant for a long time without causing diseases."
The job description, which is still up on the school's website at the time of this writing, explains that the position will involve working in the laboratory of Dr. Peng Zhou, Ph.D., a researcher and head of the Bat Virus Infection and Immunization Group.
Dr. Zhou started working with bats and communicable viruses back in 2009, having published dozens of articles about his findings in multiple science journals. His lab also issued a press release about how bats can carry illnesses without getting sick themselves while transferring them to people.
The Zero Hedge exposé on Dr. Zhou is thorough in detailing Dr. Zhou's expertise on this subject, which directly coincides with the unexpected release of novel coronavirus from what experts claim were either bats or snakes, or both. It's also interesting that Dr. Zhou has been doing research at China's only level-four biohazard lab.
As it turns out, Dr. Zhou has not only been researching how bats act as carriers for lethal illnesses without getting sick themselves, but also genetically engineering mechanisms to enhance, you might say, their carrier abilities. He also appears to have created a highly resistant mutant "superbug" in the process.
"As part of his studies, Peng also researched mutant Coronavirus strains that overcame the natural immunity of some bats; these are 'superbug' Coronavirus strains, which are not resistant to any natural immune pathway, and now appear to be out in the wild," Zero Hedge explains.
"As of mid-November, his lab was actively hiring inexperienced post-docs to help conduct his research into super-Coronaviruses and bat infections."
Twitter bans Zero Hedge for investigative reporting on coronavirus
Zero Hedge concluded its article on Dr. Zhou by publishing his email address and phone number for readers to reach him with inquiries about the subject, prompting Twitter to ban Zero Hedge from its service for supposedly violating its terms of service.
Since when is it a digital crime to publish the identity and contact information of a scientific paper author, you might be asking? Since novel coronavirus came along and the mainstream media decided that truth is "offensive."
BuzzFeed News was among the first to publish its own article, which we won't link to, chiding Zero Hedge for allegedly "doxing" Dr. Zhou, even though it merely published ways for readers to reach him that are publicly available.
Describing Zero Hedge as "a pro-Trump blog" – a snide descriptor aimed at denigrating the integrity of Zero Hedge in the minds of BuzzFeed News readers – BuzzFeed News falsely accused the independent media outlet of falsely accusing Dr. Zhou of creating a bioweapon. But here's the thing: It appears that Dr. Zhou was, in fact, suspiciously involved with all of the right research pertaining to the coronavirus outbreak.
If we still had an honest media in this country that engaged in actual journalism, all the major media outlets would be asking questions about Dr. Zhou and his work at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Hong Kong hospital workers go on strike to demand closure of border with China
Hospital Authority (H.A.), a hospital workers union in Hong Kong, has called for a strike over the Hong Kong government's failure to close its border with China in response to the global coronavirus pandemic.
On February 3, H.A. issued five demands to the Hong Kong government, including that it ban the entry of all travelers from China; provide adequate isolation wards for coronavirus; and suspend all non-emergency hospital services, effective immediately.
Created in December of last year, H.A. boasts 18,000 members, which include doctors, nurses and other hospital workers. It overwhelmingly voted 3,123 to 10 on Feb. 1 during its general meeting to go on strike with the hope that the Hong Kong government will meet its five demands.
According to HK01, a Hong Kong media source, the strike began on Feb. 3 and will continue for five days, with those striking already taking to the streets with protest signs. Hospital workers were also reportedly lining up by the hundreds outside hospitals to sign their names in support of the strike.
Lai Ching-lung, a professor of gastroenterology at The University of Hong Kong, was one such striker who stood outside of Queen Mary Hospital to express his support for closing Hong Kong's border with China as a reasonable protective measure against coronavirus.
As of this writing, Hong Kong has 14 known cases of coronavirus, while globally there are now more than 20,000 confirmed infections and 426 confirmed deaths.
"If there is no full border closure, there won't be enough manpower, protective equipment, or isolation rooms to combat the outbreak," warns Winnie Yu, chairwoman of H.A., about why the Hong Kong government needs to act swiftly to meet the union's demands.
Hospital Authority says at least HALF of its members will strike beginning Feb. 4 if Hong Kong government refuses to act
Of H.A.'s roughly 18,000 members, about 3,000 were expected to participate in the first phase of the strike. These include roughly 1,000 nurses, 1,000 full-time medical staff, and about 300 doctors, with the remaining number representing other hospital faculty.
The strike announcement came about after H.A. had previously tried to meet with Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam, only to have Lam not show up to the scheduled discussion.

At this time, Hong Kong has shuttered 14 of Hong Kong's border crossings with China. But the rest still remain open at the direction of Lam, who on Jan. 31 rejected the idea of completely closing all of Hong Kong's border crossings with China.
Lam claimed during a press conference on that date that closing all travel between Hong Kong and China "contradicts the W.H.O. (World Health Organization) suggestion." However, it was the W.H.O. itself that, the day before, publicly declared coronavirus to be a global health emergency.
"Wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese regime is actually trying to capitalize from this outbreak by infecting the people of Hong Kong," wrote one commenter at The Epoch Times, linking the previous Hong Kong protests against the communist Chinese regime to a possible backlash in the form of biowarfare.
"Easier to replace them later with pro-CCP (Communist Party of China) supporters. Beijing did want to relocate infected persons from China to vacant locations in Hong Kong, that is, until people started protesting. It also refused Taiwan's request to evacuate Taiwanese citizens.

British man with first reported case of coronavirus in U.K. refused drugs, says he beat infection with “hot whisky and honey”
A 25-year-old teacher from the United Kingdom who's said to be the first known case of coronavirus in Great Britain reportedly beat the disease by swigging a "glass of hot whisky and honey."
Connor Reed, who was diagnosed as having coronavirus in Wuhan, China, roughly two months ago, serves as proof (assuming his story is legitimate) that natural remedies really can, and do, beat even the worst of illnesses.
After being rushed to the hospital with breathing problems, as well as a severe cough – both classic signs of coronavirus – Reed had to stay admitted there for two weeks.
"I was stunned when the doctors told me I was suffering from the virus," Reed, a Welsh lad who's lived in China for three years, told the media. "I thought I was going to die but I managed to beat it."
"I used the inhaler which helped control the cough and drank a hot whisky and honey until that ran out. It's an old-fashioned remedy but it seemed to do the trick."
Amazingly, Reed refused the antibiotics that his doctors prescribed him "because I didn't want to take any medications." This was a good move, seeing as how antibiotics kill at least 80,000 people in China every year.
Is novel coronavirus more deadly in Asians?
While it may or may not be the case that hot whisky and honey was just what the doctor ordered in Reed's case, his amazing recovery is a stark contrast to the tens of thousands who are falling deathly ill and not recovering.
It could have something to do with the ethnicities involved, as Asians have increased Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 receptors in their lungs, according to a recent paper published on January 26.
Entitled, "Single-cell RNA expression profiling of ACE2, the putative receptor of Wuhan 2019-nCoV," this study found that Asians could be more prone to this type of virus because of an enhanced ACE2 presence, which uptakes it more easily.
Another related study found that men may also be more prone to catching coronavirus than women. The elderly may also be more likely to catch it compared to younger people.
Currently, the overall death rate from coronavirus, at least based on official numbers, is about two percent. This is lower than the 9.6 percent for S.A.R.S. (severe acute respiratory syndrome) and Spanish flu, which is estimated to have been anywhere from 10 to 20 percent.
Thailand says it successfully treated novel coronavirus with a cocktail of H.I.V. and flu drugs
Over in Thailand, another "alternative" remedy is supposedly helping to treat novel coronavirus. Reports claim that two coronavirus patients were successfully treated with "a cocktail of H.I.V. and flu drugs."
"The doctors combined the anti-flu drug oseltamivir with lopinavir and ritonavir, antivirals used to treat H.I.V.," stated Kriengsak Chareonwongsak, a member of Thailand's House of Representatives, pending confirmation from the health ministry.
As of this writing, more than 20,000 people are officially infected with coronavirus, and 427 have died from it.
"This is more evidence to support my initial hypothesis that this 'coronavirus' is another ethno-specific illness like S.A.R.S.-cov that predominantly attacks Asian hosts, in this case Asian men, with a higher ACE2 gene expression (in the lungs) of 2.5% vs. Eurasian (Aryan) and African (Negro) at 0.47%," wrote one commenter at Information Liberation in response to this news.
"For some reason, nobody would report the fact that the only people really dying from this (so far) are Asians, just like what we saw a few years ago with S.A.R.S.-cov, which is significant, yet the media has been silent, eluding to either a C.D.C./Z.O.G. request for suppression, or it's just that Reuters/A.P. is really that P.C. (politically correct) that the fear of xenophobic reactions outweigh the benefits of a reduction in unnecessary hysteria here in the West."
