STAY AWAY FROM PRODUCTS MADE IN CHINA AT THIS TIME ! Chinese businessmen know Americans will stay away from goods saying, "made in China" UPC Codes starting with 690,691,692 are from China!
On February 11, 2020 the World Health Organization announced an official name for the disease that is presently causing the current outbreak of the coronavirus disease, "COVID-19". As of February 23, 2020 there were a total of 79,566 cases of COVID-19 worldwide, 2620 deaths, and a total of 29 countries with cases of COVID-19. Those numbers are only numbers that are reported. As China is where the disease originated, it is anyone's guess as to the true number of COVID-19 cases as China is a country that is anything, but transparent and trustworthy. However, with the help of social media, the truth or at least some truth is getting out and the truth is harder to swallow than the lies being told. A physician at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University Chinese medicine informed Twitter followers that only one case of COVID-19 was reported for every 50 cases, which would make sense as it's been rumored that there are quite possibly close to 100,000 people infected in China with the COVID-19 disease.
As of February 23rd, 2020, 50,000 people in eleven towns including Milan, Rome, and Venice were placed under lock down due to the corona virus. In as little as 36 hours, 3 cases jumped to 130. All railroad traffic from Italy has been canceled, the Venice Carnival was ended early, and fashion week in Milan was made private instead of public as designers streamlined their latest designs in empty rooms. South Korea's number of corona virus cases more than doubled to 433 cases in just four days. Japan has a reported number of of 144 cases. Iran just recently announced that a total of eight people had died from the corona virus and another 43 had been infected. Due to mass student protests, the Iranian Health Ministry announced that all universities in 10 provinces would be shutdown due to the increasing reports of the spread of the corona virus.
The threat of COVID-19 is real and it's here in the U.S.. There are said to be only 35 cases at present in the U.S. Although, it was just recently reported that authorities have asked some 7000 people to isolate and monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID-19 according to the California Department of Public Health. In addition to placing people on self isolation, California is said to have a total of 1000 people quarantined. The states reporting cases of COVID-19 are, Arizona, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. With seven states having the corona virus, America is not immune from the deadly disease yet our elected officials are doing little to protect its citizens. Seven countries including Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Australia have closed their borders to those from various countries having higher numbers of the corona virus. However, with an incubation period as long as 28 days it appears there's no way to truly have any real knowledge of just who is and is not infected.
The fact is, everyone is at risk, and our President eliminated the position called, "Senior Director of Global Health Security". The person in this position used to work in the National Safety Council to coordinate responses to global health emergencies and potential pandemics. As so it would seem, we're well on our way to COVID-19 becoming a pandemic and it might be a real opportune time to reinstate that position. In addition to eliminating a rather important position, the Trump administration on February 11, 2020 stated in its proposed 2021 budget for the Department of Health and Human Services that it would cut $25 million from the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response, and $18 million from the Hospital Preparedness Program. The Trump administration also asked for over $85 million in cuts to the Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Program. These programs are programs that were said to already be way underfunded. This is not the time to cut over $100 million from programs that our country may well need in the not too distant future. With a possibility of a pandemic, it is unconscionable that the United States would have its elected officials even proposing such nonsense at this time.
It is time to close our borders to all those entering from countries with active cases of the corona virus. While it may already be too late, it's a mystery as to why other countries have taken such steps to attempt to protect its citizens and we have not done the same. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases stated that we are in fact on the brink of a pandemic. The possibility of a pandemic should be of no surprise as some 60,000 persons traveled out from Wuhan, China worldwide just prior to the city being quarantined. Yes, a pandemic is a real probability and America is not prepared. Standard masks bought at pharmacies will not protect one from the deadly disease, they will only prevent ones infected from infecting others. With several Doctors in China wearing hazmat suits dying from the disease it is a real mystery as to how one can truly protect themselves from catching the disease. As so it would seem, there is no sure way of immunizing ourselves from the corona virus. However, all would be well advised to not eat or drink anything from China, the source of the seemingly man made disease. One would be well advised to not buy anything at this time from China as no one knows for sure how long the virus can survive and or how exactly the virus is spread. One can do this by carefully reading the UPC codes on packaging as China already knows many Americans are now opposed to buying goods from China that say "made in China". If a product is made in China the first three digits will be 690, 691, or 692 . It would be advisable to also not buy or use products from Taiwan whose number is, 471. While some might think not eating or drinking products from these countries or using products from these various countries is being paranoid, it is at the very least one less way to contract the deadly disease, as no one seems to truly know just how the disease is contracted. That being said, Americans need to call their local politicians and demand that steps be taken as to ensure the safety of Americans. The safety of our citizens is in fact at risk and we the people must demand that our leaders do everything in their power to protect us from this deadly disease.
