Coronavirus Like AIDS (Sort Of Like)
The Chinese have released details of autopsy reports from people who have died of Coronavirus.
Yeah, well, it isn’t just flu….
Obviously news.com.au are going to grab the report’s sexy bits…
And there it is, the weasel word, ‘like’: it isn’t a combination of SARS and AIDS, it is ‘like’ a combination of SARS and AIDS. And notice they use AIDS and not HIV.
As a humble satyr, who tries to follow the linguistic games of doctors (both medical and spin) in relation to Coronavirus, this latest news is masterful. Particularly when combined with the current Chinese insistence that the virus did not originate in China, what with (evil) Mr Putin (boo) meeting that nice Mr Erdogan in Moscow to reach a solution to the crisis in Idlib. For it places a neat tin-lid on conspiracy theorists seeking to exploit the floundering American response to their… erm… flu… under the incompetent Orange Man Bad.
Not that this news is new.
Three weeks ago… when the disinformation campaign run by Dimension B was focused on ‘lick a Chinaman to prove you’re not racist’… reports were coming out of China that people were dying of AIDS-like symptoms. The Chinese were reporting HIV-like characteristics to the virus. A cursory glance at the drugs being used to treat the infected offers yet more clues.
But regardless, it will be interesting to see the response from the ‘it’s only old people’ brigade when they find out about the permanent lung damage, brain damage, renal failure, etc. Sadly as the patients were dead, and maybe those doing the autopsy were pushed for time, no mention was made of the virus causing sterility, by wrecking testicles.
Not that old people, or asthmatics, have much use for sperm.
The other story that has got the media doctors chattering, is the news that there is apparently two forms of the virus, L and S. Which one is the bio-weapon, requiring 2,000 tonnes of disinfectant to be poured down the sewers in Wuhan, they don’t say.
Excuse my jesting… for clearly this is a perfectly natural mutation, of a perfectly natural virus…
Except what gets my spidey-sense tingling is that some journalists (through ignorance or boredom) have decided to revamp the wet-market story, and invent the idea that one variant is from bats and the other from pangolins…. plus one is a mild variant and the other nasty… just to reassure the jiddery.
Of course one mustn’t believe rumours….
And therefore there is nothing… what-so-ever… going on in Beijing.
In case you are wondering, Ireland is a bit worried about it’s health care system (it will be the fault of the English), and they are considering introducing food rationing…. to make sure they don’t run out of podadoes…
