Coronavirus

The coronavirus is a deadly disease arising in animals deemed to be "unclean" by the Bible for human consumption, such as bats, snakes and camels. In atheistic parts of the world where people consume such animals, a coronavirus can take hold in the human population and then spread rapidly to other people. Pneumonia-like symptoms appear after a two week incubation period. The CDC says the best way to prevent infection is to avoid exposure.

The infection rate for coronavirus is estimated to be as high as 83%, and its mortality rate is 15%. Hence out of every 1000 people exposed to the virus, 120 will die. One person can infect 2.5 to 3 others. There is no known treatment or cure.

The first week after the announcement more than ten countries including Singapore, Thailand, Australia, Canada, United States, UK and Germany confirmed cases.

Outbreak and casualties

A coronavirus outbreak occurred in January 2020 in Wuhan, China, apparently arising from a food marketplace where wild animals in cages for human consumption were sold and believed to transmit the corona virus to humans (including cats and snakes which can transmit the virus to humans.

With globalism encouraging trade and travel between countries, this coronavirus has quickly spread to the United States such that there were five confirmed infections and many more suspected ones here, and 56 deaths confirmed worldwide.

Chinese experts predict a doubling of infections every six days. The infection has a two week incubation period with the infected person showing no symptoms while still being contagious. Epidemiologists of the University of Hong Kong warned the epidemic had the potential of becoming a global epidemic requiring containment of population movements.

As of the Chinese New Year's Day, January 25, 2020, at least 41 million people were quarantined in fifteen Chinese cities. 82 deaths were reported with nearly 3000 infections. 24 hours later the death toll was up to 107 deaths with 4500 infections reported. At least 5 cases were reported in the United States. The pandemic had been forecast to peek out in April-May 2020. The Center for Disease Control has labeled it a "serious public health threat."

The Guardian of London quoted Prof. Neil Ferguson sayingm “My best guess now is perhaps 100,000 cases right now. Almost certainly many tens of thousands of people are infected.” Other sources likewise have implied that the communist government of China may have under-reported the true dimensions of the problem.
