New postmortem tests reveal COVID-19 began spreading in US in January, mistaken for flu SACRAMENTO, California: COVID-19 was already circulating in California in January, weeks earlier than thought, and early deaths were likely mistaken for the flu, a county health official said on Wednesday (Apr 22). A 57-year-old woman had died of COVID-19 on Feb 6, far earlier than any other reported cases in the United States, said Sara Cody, the health officer in Santa Clara County, California. The earliest death attributed to the coronavirus was previously thought to be on February 26 in Washington state - a man in his 30s who returned from the disease's epicenter in Wuhan and reported himself to authorities after experiencing symptoms. News of the deaths in California could improve public health officials' understanding of how the outbreak took hold in the United States. The California woman's death and two other early cases - a 69-year-old man who died on Feb 17 and a 70-year-old man who died on Mar 6 - were confirmed to have been COVID-19 by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after it tested tissue samples. The county had previously identified its first case of community transmission - infectious spread among people who had not been to China or other early hot spots - on Feb 28, Cody said. But none of the three patients who died had travelled. “What these deaths tell us is that we had community transmission probably to a significant degree, far earlier than we had known, and that indicates that the virus was probably introduced and circulating in our community far earlier than we had known,” Cody said. Because the region was undergoing a bad flu season at the time, many cases may have been misclassified as influenza, she said. The cases were likely "iceberg tips," Cody said, indicating that many more people were also infected. The three cases were discovered because the county medical examiner's office was not satisfied that it had found the correct cause of death, Cody said. Because coronavirus tests were not available, they saved tissue samples, which they sent to the CDC. The coroner said they expected to identify more coronavirus-related fatalities in Santa Clara. The testing parameters at the time by the CDC restricted testing to individuals with a known travel history and who sought medical care for specific symptoms. US coronavirus deaths topped 46,000 on Wednesday, doubling in a little over a week and rising on Tuesday by a near-record amount in a single day, according to a Reuters tally. The United States has by far the world's largest number of confirmed coronavirus cases at more than 820,000. A study this week led by Bhattacharya at Stanford indicated that the novel coronavirus was likely far more widespread than official figures suggest. Blood samples taken from 3,300 volunteers in Santa Clara County showed the true number of COVID-19 cases was at least 50 times higher than the number of confirmed infections in the county. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/new-postmortem-covid-19-began-us-january-mistaken-flu-12668646 Maybe should change name to Cali virus...

6 weeks jail! Damn fierce sia!! Jail for man who breached stay-home notice to eat bak kut teh at hawker centre, run errands SINGAPORE: A man became the first to be sentenced for a coronavirus-related offence on Thursday (Apr 23), receiving six weeks' jail for exposing others to the risk of infection by breaching his stay-home notice. Alan Tham Xiang Sheng, 34, admitted last week to appearing several times in public when ordered to stay at home. He had returned to Singapore from Myanmar on Mar 23 and was issued at the airport a 14-day stay-home notice. However, he met his girlfriend at the airport for a meal before they took a private-hire car to Peninsula Plaza, where he changed his leftover Myanmar currency. They then went to Tham's place and left again for dinner as Tham had a craving for bak kut teh. The couple took a bus to Kampung Admiralty, where Tham ate bak kut teh and uploaded pictures of it to social media. He quickly drew flak from friends. Following his meal, he went to a supermarket to buy groceries and returned home after spending about 1.5 hours outside. The prosecution had asked for 10 to 12 weeks' jail at the previous hearing, while the defence asked for not more than the maximum S$10,000 fine. WHY THAM WAS NOT TESTED FOR COVID-19 However, the judge adjourned the sentencing as he wanted both sides to address issues, including why Tham was not tested for COVID-19 and their position on an advisory letter Tham had been issued by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) on Mar 25. On Thursday, Deputy Public Prosecutors Kenneth Chin and Norman Yew explained that Tham had not been tested for COVID-19 as routine testing of asymptomatic individuals under a stay-home notice was "not necessary under prevailing Ministry of Health policies". They added that those on stay-home notices will be tested only if they develop a fever or respiratory symptoms, and that routine testing of asymptomatic individuals "is not encouraged as a negative test result does not imply the absence of COVID-19 infection". "A negative test may arise in an infected person if the test was conducted early during the incubation period of his illness and he may become symptomatic later, despite an earlier negative test," said Mr Chin. "The risk of community spread of COVID-19 from infected overseas travellers is controlled through the isolation of these individuals under the stay-home notice, even if they had not undergone any routine testing." ICA'S LETTER TO THAM The second issue was on an advisory issued by ICA to Tham on Mar 25. The advisory read: "You are hereby advised to comply with the requirements of the stay-home notice. If you are found to be in non-compliance with the stay-home notice again, the same leniency may not be shown towards you, and enforcement action may be taken against you under section 21A of the Infectious Diseases Act." Defence lawyers Josephus Tan and Cory Wong of Invictus Law said the advisory meant that enforcement agencies had administered Tham with a warning, and that they were prepared to grant Tham leniency for his breaches of the stay-home notice on Mar 23. "The reasonable inference that flows from this is the enforcement agency's own assessment of Alan's case to be of sufficiently low culpability or harm on day zero for him to be let off with a warning in lieu of prosecution, save in the event of re-offending," said Mr Tan. He said that Tham's prosecution in court shows a significant "operational disconnect" in the chain of command. In response, the prosecution said that ICA's advisory "merely 'advised' the accused against non-compliance with the stay-home notice again". They said that the phrase "failing which the same leniency may not be shown" did not contain any express and unequivocal statement that Tham would not be prosecuted. On top of this, the advisory did not state that the Attorney-General's Chambers would not prosecute Tham for breaching the stay-home notice on Mar 23. "In this instance, the advisory letter ... was issued by ICA," said Mr Chin. "It cannot fetter the public prosecutor’s discretion to prosecute if the evidential basis to do so, and if such a prosecution is in the public interest." He added that "whether the prosecution ultimately chooses to prosecute for the warned offence is something entirely within its power". The prosecutor said that there is "clearly no abuse of process in this case and there is no reason why the advisory letter would render the accused’s prosecution wrong in law". For exposing others to the risk of infection of COVID-19 by breaching his stay-home notice, Tham could have been jailed for up to six months, fined a maximum S$10,000 or both. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/covid-19-breach-stay-home-notice-bak-kut-teh-jail-12668182

CSB gao gao... I would say this is an interesting concept. interesting to know. but a long long way before it reaches the mass population. maybe 5 to 10 years... The professor is just riding on the Wuhan virus wave to get more funding for his ideas. The traditional injection vaccine needs another 18 - 24 months IF all things run smoothly. There were already concerns that traditional vaccines won't work because of some special cornoavirus properties. Please note, it is already 17 years, there isn't a proven SARS vaccine yet. MERS also no vaccine. So I think it is very optimistic to believe we will have a wuhan virus vaccine in 18 months.

looks good man. homecooked?

his father was stroke also.

CNA with additional reports... Kim Jong Un getting treatment after cardiovascular procedure: Report Kim's health has deteriorated in recent months due to heavy smoking, obesity and overwork, the Daily NK report said. "My understanding is that he had been struggling (with cardiovascular problems) since last August but it worsened after repeated visits to Mount Paektu," a source was quoted as saying, referring to the country's sacred mountain. Kim left for the hospital after presiding over a meeting of the ruling Workers' Party's politburo on Apr 11, where Kim was publicly last seen, the report said. Pyongyang fired multiple short-range missiles last week which Seoul officials said were also part of the Kim Il Sung birthday celebration. Such military events would usually be observed by Kim, but there was no KCNA report on the test at all. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/kim-jong-un-treatment-cardiovascular-procedure-12661066
