Now, reports indicate the biological weapon viral agent has found its way into Ecuador and the Republic of Ireland.
In both cases, the infected individuals first flew on commercial flights before being diagnosed.
Via The Epoch Times' update page:
Health authorities in the Republic of Ireland on Saturday confirmed the country’s first case of coronavirus and said it was associated with travel from an affected area in northern Italy.
The Northern Irish patient who contracted the virus, the first confirmed case on the island, had traveled from Italy via Dublin Airport before returning to Belfast.
About the Ecuador patient:
Ecuador has confirmed the first case of a fast-spreading new coronavirus in the Andean country, its health minister said on Saturday.
The patient is an elderly female Ecuadorean residing in Spain, Catalina Andramuño, the health minister, told reporters. The patient arrived in Ecuador on Feb. 14 on a direct flight from Madrid without showing any symptoms, but soon felt ill and went to a hospital where she was diagnosed with the coronavirus.
“The patient is currently in intensive care at one of the hospitals we had designated to attend to coronavirus,” Andramuño said, adding that the government was monitoring people who may have come into contact with the patient.
Perhaps this point is now becoming self-evident, but the coronavirus broke containment weeks ago. There's no question it has already infected hundreds of thousands of people across the planet and is spreading exponentially through airports, airplanes, hospitals, cruise ships, quarantine centers, military bases and other similar enclosed spaces.
Anyone who thought this was going to be contained in China is living in a dreamworld of self-delusion.
Anyone still saying, "this is no worse than the flu" is mathematically illiterate and dangerously misinformed.
The exponential spread of this deadly virus is currently on track to kill millions around the world over the next year. And it's not slowing down one bit, especially when nations like the United States failed to test anyone for nearly a month and now focus on covering up the truth rather than urging the public to get prepared.
This is not going to be pretty.
We've already launched Pandemic.news as a hub of breaking news about the virus.
Soon we'll be launching a new site focused on coronavirus prevention solutions that can help slow the spread of this global pandemic and potentially help save millions of lives.
Right now, the best candidates for boosting immunity across the population at large include:
- Vitamin C (high dose)
- Spirulina
- Licorice root
- Selenium
- Elderberry
- Olive leaf
- Astragalus
- Colloidal silver (nanoparticles)
While nothing is yet proven to prevent or treat the covid-19 coronavirus, many candidates are starting to emerge from reliable research covering nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and novel substances such as nanoparticle silver.
Read Pandemic.news to stay informed as we roll out more information on solutions in the days ahead.
Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is the founding editor of NaturalNews.com, a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com called "Food Forensics"), an environmental scientist, a patent holder for a cesium radioactive isotope elimination invention, a multiple award winner for outstanding journalism, a science news publisher and influential commentator on topics ranging from science and medicine to culture and politics.
Mike Adams also serves as the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
