Not much to get excited about - still waiting yet to find the two other horsemen. 

 

So the current intelligence reports that Donald Trump is the antichrist as indicated by the self appointed moral majority crew being lead astray by the antichrist (in advance)...  I just really disappointed, I expected the antichrist to be more suave and sophisticated... ????

 

Also identified are two of the four horsemen caught in the following pictures.   We have pestilence rampaging through Asia mostly now, and now pending famine by a plague of locusts...  so we are getting there... but still a few missing pieces...

I'm actually having the same thing over the past 3-4 days. Very mild headache and fatigue, either mild or no fever, and insane dreams, lol. I do have a runny nose and a bit of a sore throat though, but all mild and a bit better today than yesterday. Of course it's getting me paranoid but it's probably just a common cold.

Both myself and the missus had this last week, temperature, cough, sore throat, feeling weak, didn't bother going to the doctors, cleared up by itself. Since we are in a village in Isan with little to no outside visitors coronavirus was never a consideration.

This diagnosis is going to come under heavy worldwide scrutiny.

 

Yes, starting with TVForum.

 

More common sense on here than you need.

 

To the OP I say get plenty of rest, fruit and natural - but well tried - stuff, like reishi and garlic and gingsen.

 

If you have access to GcMAF or cannibis oil, take advantage. Also avacados. A little tip on the avos; grind up the stone and make a tea. Just full of nutrition.

 

Get well soon bro'.

Yes, pneumonia is the biggest concern with any influenza

which came  next day  Corona Virus   confirmed

how many other people here have gone to a Thai hospital and had tests done only to be told they are inconclusive or more tests are needed and you still don't get much of a result. or you walk away after tests not really sure what your issue is.  

 

have you specifically asked if you were screened for  Covid-19?

is it listed in your test paperwork as negative?

 

i am sure if you had Covid-19 you would be in a isolation ward in a hospital right now along with all the other people in Thailand who have it.  

 

as the normal flu season kicks in the screening process for Covid-19 is going to be overwhelmed.

 

good luck. i hope you feel better.

The real diagnosis, which apparently can only be done by Chula and NIH lab in BKK, had a backlog of hundreds before they stopped publishing the number completely. Very unlikely to get a real confirmed diagnosis in under couple of weeks.

If I was you I would go to a Bangkok international hospital and recheck.

[overherebc]

Have to start by saying I'm not agreeing with or denying anyone's claims, facts and figures quoted on the virus. This is just a question.

If initial tests on those in Wuhan showed Corrona virus, and it would appear there is not just one type, then sticking all those people together, let's say some had flu and some had Covid19, in close proximity to each other ( see cruise ship ) may not have been the best idea.

Repeat, I am not claiming this as a fact, just asking a question.

Interesting maybe that is why the numbers they quote (33) are so low they only count those people that are in hospital

Why would they need to exaggerate the problem and create general panic?

 

I was at Chonburi Immigration office on Tuesday. It was mayhem with queues stretching nearly back to the carpark entrance. Thousands of people were going in and out and the only masks to be seen were worn by staff and less than 5% of visitors. No one is panicking at this stage.

Apart from this, the coronavirus is a large family of viruses. Whether the OP has the newly named COVID-19 virus is the question.

Flu virus and covid 19.

Same same but different.

Me too. This is my 2nd cold since January 19th-20th.

If you recover your body could hold the cure.

 

Take care of yourself for all of us.

A Taiwan newspaper wrote an article about this. Apparently, a doctor in Wuhan got a hold of a relative in the UK and told that person the 2nd time around is far worse and deadlier. People who get infected again start having heart problems, whether its the drugs the used to combat the virus the first round or just a weak heart in general due to poor health. But the doctor reported people are having a far more difficult time recovering for the 2nd time and some were reported of dying from heart failure...

And going to the village hospital not the place you want to go when sick!? There is no way they could pull me in to that hospital still alive,

Just so I'm clear, some random Doctor, called his relative in the UK, and told them stories and you heard it from them?

 

Seems legit.

So this is the only virus in the history of man where the patient doesn't build up immunity to it, is that what you're saying? My goodness me, that must mean a vaccine is impossible to manufacture in that scenario!

It's thought that immunity to influenza type diseases doesn't last that long but we're still talking in years here, just not that many years. This is why they recommend regular flu jabs, that and the different variants they guess at each year.

 

Recently ( a few years ago) the 'flu jab' remained unchanged for a couple of years but they still issued it to people who had the identical jab the previous year.

 

 

[rabas]

My wife and I had Influenza-A last year and they did a screening. On hearing type-A I asked which one, they said screening only determined the viral group. flu type-A,B, cold groups, etc. Cold groups include coronavirus and rhinovirus.

 

So I think they detected the OPs ordinary coronavirus, not nCoN2019.

 

Also from the Thai Coronavirus Situation report, Jan 18, they report 'other' diagnoses including 1 coronavirus:

"The etiologic agents for other cases were identified as Influenza A virus (6 cases), Influenza B virus (4 case), Influenza C virus (1 case), Adenovirus (1 case), Coronavirus OC43 (1 case) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (1 case). "

 

So, your safe for a while.

There is more than one without counting HIV: https://www.passporthealthusa.com/2017/11/what-viruses-get-worse-during-a-second-infection/

 

With that said I read the article from Taiwan and dismissed it since it was from an anonymous doctor and Taiwan seems to be doing their propaganda thing against China since the beginning of this crisis.

It has just been announced that you can catch the dastardly virus more

than once.

 

If the fatality rate is 3% and it can get around the world in 12 months,,,, we are all doomed it seems.

 

Partying might be a good approach to the end of civilization as we know it. Moving to Nth Korea might not seem so bad. Some nice bits of stuff there.

Disregard everything not from a valid scientific source.

 

Determining whether a viral infection leads to immunity and for how long etc takes years of research.

Agree. All that could possibly have been determined in a test which gave results the next day would be viral group.

 

Presumably they would then send on the sample to Bangkok for further testing if the type was coronavirus.
