ChinaVirus Survived For 17 Days in Cruz Ship Cabins, 2993

Good morning, both gold and silver as well as the DOW - have jumped up big in the past few hours as Congress tries to agree on how huge the money borrowing package will be to save the U.S. economy. Are you too late to get some gold into your IRA? Nope. We may soon see $2,000 an ounce gold. Please see the ad for Patriot Gold at the end of this report.
Good morning, I’m Still reporting on the ChinaVirus.
Very bad news – according to a new CDC study, ChinaVirus survived in the cabins of the Diamond Princess cruise ship for 17 days.
The ship was quarantined in Yokohama, Japan on Feb. 3, and is being studied my international infectious disease experts worldwide.
The CDC released the new study yesterday. Previously it was thought that the coronavirus could live no longer than 3 days and plastic and stainless steel surfaces. But the virus:
“… was identified on a variety of surfaces in cabins of both symptomatic and asymptomatic infected passengers up to 17 days after cabins were vacated on the Diamond Princess but before disinfection procedures had been conducted….”
The CDC scientists were investigating how:
“… transmission occurred across multiple voyages of several ships.”
The good news of the study is that despite the very confined space on cruise ships, only 712 of 3,711 people on the Diamond Princess, or 19.2% became infected with ChinaVirus. But the bad news is that 331 of them were asymptomatic at the time of the testing – that is, they had no symptoms.
Similar stats were found in multiple other international cruises since then, including 60 Americans from Nile River cruises in Egypt.
The bottom line is that there is a lot that remains to be known about the ChinaVirus, but the most worrisome part is that those infected can infect others without knowing that they ever had the virus.
I’m still reporting from the citadel of freedom. Good day.
