| U.N.: U.S. Has Given No Evidence on Alleged COVID-19 Origin | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mon, 04 May 2020 17:17:59 -0400 (GENEVA) — The World Health Organization’s emergencies chief said Monday that it has received no evidence from the U.S. government to back up allegations by President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that the coronavirus could have originated at a laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuhan. “From our perspective, this remains speculative,” Dr. Michael Ryan told reporters in Geneva. “We have not received any data or specific evidence from the U.S. government relating to the purported origin of the virus.” He said WHO would be “very willing” to receive any such information the U.S. has. Ryan reiterated that the evidence and advice that the U.N. health agency has received suggest that the novel coronavirus is of natural origin, even if Pompeo and Trump have alleged evidence they have seen suggests it could be from the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab. “If that data and evidence is available, then it will be for the United States government to decide whether and when it can be shared,” Ryan said. “But it’s difficult for WHO to operate in an information vacuum in that specific regard.” On Sunday, Pompeo told ABC’s “This Week” program that there was “a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory in Wuhan.” Ryan and Maria Van Kerkhove, the technical lead on the WHO emergencies program, put their focus on the hunt for the animal host that is believed to have relayed the coronavirus from bats. Such a determination could help drive public health policies, like advising people to keep away from some types of wildlife or livestock. They said Chinese scientists continued to work with the world against the pandemic, and suggested such collaboration remained crucial — and that efforts to “investigate” possible wrongdoing by Chinese officials could derail such scientific cooperation. “We need to understand that we can learn from Chinese scientists, we can learn from each other, we can exchange knowledge and we can find the answers together,” Ryan said. “If this is projected as aggressive investigation of wrongdoing, then I believe that’s much more difficult to deal with. That’s a political issue. That is not a science issue.” “Science will find the answers,” he added. “The implications of those answers can be dealt with from a policy and political perspective.” WHO heaped praise on China from early on in the outbreak. On Jan. 30, moments before announcing that the coronavirus was a global health emergency, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said China was “setting a new standard for outbreak response.” He praised the speed with which China detected the outbreak, sequenced the genome and shared that information with WHO. He said its ”commitment to transparency” was “beyond words.” The joint team said at the time that it was not probing any allegations that China may have mishandled the outbreak. ___ AP Medical Writer Maria Cheng contributed from London. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Congress Launches Investigation Into Chinese Infiltration of U.S. Colleges | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mon, 04 May 2020 17:13:16 -0400 Leading House Republicans have launched a congressional investigation into China's infiltration of American college campuses, according to a letter sent Monday to the Department of Education. Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas), GOP leader of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and six of his colleagues are requesting documents and information about efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to infiltrate the U.S. academic system and spread its state-sponsored propaganda. Recent Stories in National Security"We write to seek a better understanding of the Department's efforts to address unreported foreign direct investment into the U.S. higher education system," according to the letter, which was also signed by Reps. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), the House Oversight Committee's ranking member; Michael Rogers (R., Ala.), the Homeland Security Committee's ranking member; and Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), the Intelligence Committee's ranking member. "We have been concerned about the potential for the Chinese government to use its strategic investments to turn American college campuses into indoctrination platforms for American students," the congressmen write. Since the coronavirus pandemic erupted, China has cracked down on academic research about the virus. The lawmakers are concerned the Communist Party could pressure U.S. institutions to censor research about the virus. "China has strategically invested in U.S. academia to attempt to steal confidential information and technology from U.S. companies, and even the U.S. government," the lawmakers write. "Besides China peddling money for influence in U.S. institutions of higher education (IHE), China is restricting any research regarding the origins of COVID-19 that does not comport with CCP propaganda." The lawmakers are asking the Education Department to turn over all documents related to all U.S. schools that have accepted funds from China, including any investigations into American colleges and personnel who may have accepted gifts from the Chinese government.

| Russian Authorities Brace For Quick Surge In Virus Cases | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mon, 04 May 2020 17:04:53 -0400 MOSCOW (AP) Russian officials on Monday reported a steady rise in the number of the new coronavirus infections that raises pressure on the nations health care system.
The number of infections has been rising quickly over the past few days, fueling concerns that the nations hospitals could be overwhelmed. The authorities have charged that broader testing has contributed to the recent surge in the new cases and insisted that hospitals so far have been coping with the influx of new cases. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that the real number of infections in the capital could amount to 2% of its population. That would make more than 250,000 in the city of 13 million. Some of the tests used in Russia reportedly were just 70-80% accurate, but Sobyanin said that the quality of tests has been improving. In anticipation of a quick rise in the number of infections, the authorities in Moscow are rushing to turn a massive ice arena and several exhibition pavilions into temporary hospitals for coronavirus patients totaling 10,000 beds. Russian officials have ordered to ready the total of 120,000 hospital beds across the country’s 82 regions to treat COVID-19 patients along with ventilators and other essential equipment. But many hospitals across the vast country have reported a shortage of equipment and protective gear. Russias economy has been partially shut down since late March, and President Vladimir Putin extended the lockdown measures through May 11 to span the nation’s long public holidays. Officials have voiced fears that the holidays could cause a surge in contagion, and police have beefed up patrols to prevent lockdown violations. Police in Moscow said they would use helicopters and drones to prevent big gatherings of people in city parks. As the pandemic has engulfed Russia, Putin ordered the postponement of a huge Red Square military parade on May 9 marking the 75th anniversary of the World War II victory over the Nazis. The government only planned an air parade on May 9, and on Monday Russian warplanes streaked over the deserted Red Square in a rehearsal of the flyby. ___ Follow AP pandemic coverage at http://apnews.com/VirusOutbreak and https://apnews.com/UnderstandingtheOutbreak

| Is the radical right spreading the coronavirus? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mon, 04 May 2020 15:23:07 -0400
What we have observed these past few months is the predictable radical right racist medley of blaming the virus on the usual suspects: that it is a ploy by the Jews/the Chinese/Bill Gates/Soros/the American military etc. Radical right conspiracies of Covid-19 come in two kinds, often held simultaneously in the same message: that the virus does not exist and/or there is a manufactured deadly virus because they want to exterminate us.
In the first case, denial of the virus is based on random shreds of evidence such as when people film their area hospital (#filmyourhospital) to show that it is not overwhelmed by Covid-19 patients. In the second case, the virus is planted to weaken the peopleand sometimes to hide the deadly side effects of 5G technology. It is difficult to document all the Covid-19 conspiracies that have been floating around and even more demanding to account for their existence. Furthermore, the mainstreaming of these theories means that by the time they reach an audience they are stripped of the theory: they are conspiracy lite as Muirhead and Rosenblum aptly describe in their book, A Lot of People are Saying. People share them recklessly, just to show that they are not going to be taken for a ride: we may be locked down, but we know what is really going on. The current pandemic is also bringing new life to the darkest corners of the extreme right where visions of violence and destruction seem more plausible than ever. The accelerationist ideology, linked to white supremacist killers, encourages events that will sow discord and chaos that will eventually lead to the collapse of governments and the violent uptake of power by the white race. There are already indications, at least from online rants, that accelerationist ideologues find the current pandemic as a ripe opportunity to pursue this agenda. Contrary to conspiracy theories that view this pandemic as a global-scale prank, accelerationists see it as an opportunity to prove their prophecies and have already used online forums to intensify radicalization efforts. As Cynthia Miller-Idriss has noted, the current epidemic is ripe for exploitation by the far right. For example, Simon Lindberg, the leader of the Nordic Resistance Movement in Sweden seized the moment to warn (white) followers that the pandemic may lead to a much anticipated catharsis: You might have to sink to the bottom before you can climb to the top. For people to truly realize that the current anti-white system and the corrupt forces ruling us today have to be replaced, they might first need to realize their true nature in full and also understand that there is actually an alternative. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Mon, 04 May 2020 13:04:19 -0400
A doctor claims that COVID-19 was present in Europe in December, which is earlier than what was originally thought.
Dr. Yves Cohen, an intensive care chief in Paris, said that looking back, a positive case of COVID-19 was identified at Jean-Verdier Hospital in the northeastern Paris suburb of Bondy on Dec. 27, according to ABC News. That would be around the same time the first cases of the virus were detected in China. Doctors reanalyzed samples from molecular diagnostic tests of 24 patients in December and January who were experiencing pneumonia-like illnesses but tested negative for the flu and other viruses. At the time, tests for the coronavirus were not yet being offered. Cohen said the man who tested positive may have been France's "patient zero" and urged doctors to retest all patient samples that had been negative for pneumonia. France reported its first confirmed case of COVID-19 on Jan. 24, linking it to the southwestern city of Bordeaux. It was also the first reported case in Europe. There have been 131,000 reported cases of the coronavirus in France, with nearly 25,000 deaths resulting from the virus. More than 50,000 patients who contracted COVID-19 have recovered. Cases across Europe have reached nearly 1.4 million. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Ricin used in 3 recent cases | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sun, 03 May 2020 21:06:29 -0400
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) The key ingredient castor beans is easy to find. Crude instructions for extracting the lethal poison in them can be found on the Internet. And it doesn't require a chemistry degree or sophisticated lab equipment.
The FBI is investigating at least three cases over the past month and a half in which ricin was mailed to President Barack Obama and other public figures. Ricin has been sent to officials sporadically over the years, but experts say that there seems to be a recent uptick and that copycat attacks made possible by the relative ease of extracting the poison may be the reason. "I can absolutely promise you that when these kinds of things happen, we're going to have copycats. We expect them. We prepare for them. And we catch them," said Murray Cohen, founder of the Atlanta-based Frontline Foundation, which trains workers in how to respond to bioterrorism and epidemics. Security and counterterrorism expert Michael Fagel, who teaches at Northwestern University and is a veteran of ricin investigations, said ricin may be employed because castor beans are so easy to come by. The plants grow wild along highways and in other spots in the U.S. They are also considered ornamental by some gardeners and are cultivated for medicinal castor oil and other products. "And you can go on the Internet and find out any one of a gazillion recipes on how to make ricin," Fagel said, adding that it takes only a beginner's knowledge of science to "weaponize" it. If inhaled, ricin can cause respiratory failure, among other symptoms. If swallowed, it can shut down the liver and other organs, resulting in death. The amount of ricin that can fit on the head of a pin is said to be enough to kill an adult if properly prepared. No antidote is available, though researchers are trying to develop one. Despite the poison's fearsome reputation, a draft of a 2010 Homeland Security Department handbook lists only one person killed by ricin, and that was a 1978 assassination in London involving injection with a ricin pellet. Someone associated with Bulgaria's secret police used a special umbrella to fire the pellet into a Bulgarian dissident. The first of the three recent ricin investigations in the U.S. began in April. An Elvis impersonator, Kevin Curtis, was jailed and accused of sending poisoned letters to Obama, a U.S. senator and a Mississippi judge. Then Curtis was suddenly released from jail when the FBI shifted its focus to his longtime foe, James Everett Dutschke. He was charged with making ricin. The FBI said Dutschke, a former martial arts instructor and unsuccessful candidate for various political offices, bought his castor beans on eBay and may have used a coffee grinder to turn them into a powder from recipes he downloaded on his computer. Then in May, three poison-tainted letters were mailed from Spokane, Wash., to Obama, a federal judge and a post office. A fourth letter sent to Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane also tested positive for the poison. The FBI is trying to locate a fifth letter it suspects was mailed to the CIA in McLean, Va. Matthew Ryan Buquet, a 37-year-old janitor and a registered sex offender, was charged last week with mailing a threatening communication. He has pleaded not guilty. In the most recent case, authorities say ricin-laced letters were sent to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his Washington gun control group. Those letters were postmarked from Shreveport, La., but could have been mailed from Arkansas, Louisiana or Texas, officials said. Cohen said it appears the ricin in all three cases was a crude form that's relatively easy to make. It would require laboratory equipment and scientific knowledge to make a more potent, weapons-grade version, he said. Soon after the ricin case in Mississippi, the Congressional Research Service wrote a report for Congress that said recipes for ricin are available "on the Internet, from commercial bookstores, in patents and in scientific literature." "The quality of these directions varies. Some directions would produce only crude preparations, while others would produce nearly pure ricin," the report said. Thomas Pittman, a retired professor at the University of Southern Mississippi and an expert in toxicology, said ricin has a number of qualities that make it desirable to someone bent on doing harm: The ingredients are relatively easy to obtain, it's not that hard to make a crude form of it, it's deadly and it's hard to detect in a victim's body. "It's the perfect poison," he said. The congressional report noted some ricin cases over the years. In 2008, authorities said a man in Las Vegas may have accidentally poisoned himself with ricin that he had made from a backyard castor plant. Roger Bergendorff told The Associated Press at the time that he made the ricin just for the sake of having it, and swore he had no intention of harming anyone. He was sentenced to more than three years in prison. In 2003, someone sent a ricin-laced letter to the Transportation Department that was critical of new rules governing truck drivers. A similar letter was addressed to the White House the following month. Both were intercepted and nobody was hurt. In 2004, ricin was detected in a letter sent to then-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's Washington office. ___ Associated Press writers Jason Keyser in Chicago and Doug Esser in Seattle contributed to this report. ___ Follow Holbrook Mohr at <a href="http://twitter.com/holbrookmohr" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/holbrookmohr</a> | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Ricin attacks will continue | TheHill:
"However, though ricin hasnt been used in a wide-area attack to date, that doesnt mean a motivated individual, organization, or state couldnt do so in the future. Our lack of specific countermeasures means we remain vulnerable to both targeted and indiscriminate use of this toxin."
________________________________________________________________________
The clinical picture: signs and symptoms in the acute illnesses in both conditions is very similar, practically the same: the multiple organ failures with the underlying Coagulopathy, the abnormal and excessive blood clotting in the blood vessels (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy) and in organs: recently described as Pulmonary Intravascular Coagulopathy.
"Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, it appeared that the primary risk of death from the disease was severe pneumonia followed by a cytokine storm. As more is discovered about the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2, an unexpected cause of death has been identifiedheart attacks and strokes caused by blood clots. And this, in particular, appears to be the cause of death in some younger patients under the age of 50. ... Oxley noted, Its been surprising to learn that the virus appears to cause disease through a process of blood clotting."

"Collectively, these data suggest that the diffuse bilateral pulmonary inflammation observed in COVID19 is associated with a novel pulmonaryspecific vasculopathy which we have termed pulmonary intravascular coagulopathy (PIC) as distinct to DIC. Given that thrombotic risk is significantly impacted by race, coupled with the accumulating evidence that coagulopathy is important in COVID19 pathogenesis, our findings raise the intriguing possibility that pulmonary vasculopathy may contribute to the unexplained differences that are beginning to emerge highlighting racial susceptibility to COVID19 mortality." The related common clinical conditions also include necrosis of the liver and kidneys, GI, CNS, dermatological symptoms, etc.
The major routes of contraction: inhalation and digestion (hypothetical in Covid-19), with direct contact as transitional route, appear to be the same in both conditions.
The Covid-19 Antibody test is positive in approximately 15% of population across the different locations, and up to 80-90% of the Covid-19 designated cases are asymptomatic.

Ricin is easily obtainable and is solvable in water. The recent cases of the attempted Ricin poisoning in letters mailed to the Government officials, and also the attempt to manufacture the "Ricin bomb" to be used during the Dusseldorf Carnival are alarming and telling: they indicate the high level of interest in using this substance as the biological weapon.
The tests for detection of Ricin in clinical settings do not exist, therefore the mikenov on Twitter: Packages sent to Pentagon that had suspicious substance are believed to have been mailed by a former Navy sailor, officials say fxn.ws/2NiMXX5 #FoxNews

CONTEXT:The recent discoveries of ricin, a deadly biologic toxin, at a South Carolina postal facility, a White House mail facility, and a US senator's office has raised concerns among public health officials, physicians, and citizens. Ricin is one of the most potent and lethal substances known, particularly when inhaled. The ease with which the native plant (Ricinus communis) can be obtained and the toxin extracted makes ricin an attractive weapon.OBJECTIVES:To summarize the literature on ricin poisoning and provide recommendations based on our best professional judgment for clinicians and public health officials that are faced with deliberate release of ricin into the environment. LITERATURE ACQUISITION: Using PubMed, we searched MEDLINE and OLDMEDLINE databases (January 1950-August 2005). The Chemical and Biological Information Analysis Center database was searched for historical and military literature related to ricin toxicity. Book chapters, unpublished reports, monographs, relevant news reports, and Web material were also reviewed to find nonindexed articles.RESULTS:Most literature on ricin poisoning involves castor bean ingestion and experimental animal research. Aerosol release of ricin into the environment or adulteration of food and beverages are pathways to exposure likely to be exploited. Symptoms after ingestion (onset within 12 hours) are nonspecific and may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain and may progress to hypotension, liver failure, renal dysfunction, and death due to multiorgan failure or cardiovascular collapse. Inhalation (onset of symptoms is likely within 8 hours) of ricin is expected to produce cough, dyspnea, arthralgias, and fever and may progress to respiratory distress and death, with few other organ system manifestations. Biological analytic methods for detecting ricin exposure are undergoing investigation and may soon be available through reference laboratories. Testing of environmental samples is available through federal reference laboratories. Currently, no antidote, vaccine, or other specific effective therapy is available for ricin poisoning or prevention. Prompt treatment with supportive care is necessary to limit morbidity and mortality.CONCLUSION:Health care workers and public health officials should consider ricin poisoning in patients with gastrointestinal or respiratory tract illness in the setting a credible threat. Poison control centers and public health authorities should be notified of any known illness associated with ricin exposure. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Ricin is one of the most toxic substances known to science with an LD50 between 3 and 30 µg/kg in humans. Potentially lethal when inhaled, ingested, or injected, death can occur within 36 to 72 hours upon exposure. Ricin works by preventing the bodys cells from producing essential proteins, which leads to cellular death. There is no known antidote for ricin poisoning.
 Poring Studio | ShutterstockOccurring in the kernel of the castor bean, a species indigenous to East Africa which is used to produce castor oil, ricin can be produced from the mash, a by-product of castor oil processing. Stable under normal conditions, ricin can be inactivated by heat over 176 degrees Fahrenheit (80 degrees centigrade). It can be processed into powder, pellet form, mist, or be dissolved in weak acid or water. Unless the castor bean is chewed and ingested, unintentional ricin poisoning is unlikely, and ricin must be deliberately produced to be able to be used as a poison. Effects of different routes of ricin poisoning on the bodyDepending on the route of exposure and the dose administered, ricin poisoning can have different effects on the body, with differing levels of severity and potential lethality. Initial symptoms can appear after 4-8 hours following exposure, and in some cases up to 24 hours.InhalationInhalation of significant amounts of ricin leads to respiratory distress, fever, nausea and chest tightness within hours of exposure. Pulmonary edema (the build up of fluid in the lungs) can follow. Eventually, this can lead to respiratory failure which can be fatal.IngestionIngestion of ricin can lead to vomiting and diarrhea, which potentially could be bloody. This can result in severe dehydration and low blood pressure. Seizures and passing blood in the urine can also be symptoms, and in the most severe cases organ failure (kidney, liver, spleen) can lead to the persons death.Skin and eye contactExposure to the skin and eyes with ricin can cause redness and pain. Whilst it is unlikely that absorption of ricin can occur through normal skin, it occurs that if ricin is on one's hand and food is consumed afterward that the ricin is thereby ingested.Ricin is of concern to governments and scientists worldwide because of its potential weaponization. Due to its lethality, it has been used offensively, including for the assassination of Georgi Markov, a Bulgarian writer, and dissident in 1978. There have also been reports of its use in Iraq as a chemical weapon. The US Army investigated its application in the 1940s. Considering the ease with which ricin can be produced, and its potential use as a weapon, studies are ongoing into how to detect and treat ricin intoxication in the event of it being used in these ways. One such area of research is that of metabolomic profiling. Metabolomic profiling of ricinMetabolomic profiling is the measurement of multiple small molecule metabolites in biological specimens. This includes tissues, bodily fluids such as blood and urine, and breath exhalate.In a study by Pingping Guo et al. in 2014, an NMR-based metabolomics approach was used to investigate ricin toxicity. They complemented this with clinical chemistry and histopathological inspection. The study highlighted several metabolic disturbances caused by intoxication with crude ricin isolated from castor beans, which lead to decreased nutrient uptake, lung and kidney impairment as well as thymus and spleen dysfunction in rats. Long-term crude ricin intoxication produced energy, nitrogen and amino acid metabolism perturbations, as well as evoking oxidation stress. Guo et al. furthermore found potential biomarkers which could be useful for diagnostic studies of the toxicity of ricin that could explain why ricin has such a high toxicity. Riccardo V. DElia et al. in 2019 studied the effects of ricin intoxication on Sprague-Dawley rats, and attempted to study metabolic changes over time. In the study, they administered ricin intravenously into the rats and collected blood samples from the animals for up to 48 hours after exposure. They analyzed blood plasma isolated from the samples, applying HILIC and C18 reversed-phase UHPLCMS assays and followed these with multivariate and univariate analysis. They found that a total of 37 metabolites were altered significantly by ricin intoxication (compared to control groups), with the most significant ones being the triglyceride, bile acid, and arginine/proline metabolic pathways. The results of these studies helped to demonstrate that metabolites may be useful as a tool to detect and diagnose ricin exposure. The potential of metabolomic profiling to assist health professionals to provide treatment at a stage early enough after exposure to increase the chance of survival is promising. Until an antidote is found for ricin poisoning, the only effective way to help those poisoned survive is to provide treatment and therapy that counteract symptoms to the best extent possible.

Berlin - Raghida Bahnam
More than a month after a German court convicted a 31-year-old Tunisian man of planning to carry out a ricin attack, his German wife who is accused of helping him, denied the charges on Friday.
In late March, the Dusseldorf regional court found Sief Allah H. guilty of manufacturing a biological weapon and preparing an attack, sentencing him to 10 years in prison. His 44-year-old wife denied plotting with her husband to carry out a biological bomb attack with the deadly poison ricin. She also said that she didnt know the dangers posed by ricin that was stored at their apartment in Cologne, and that she would not let the toxic material be near her seven children. Federal prosecutors said the couple decided in 2017 to detonate an explosive in a large crowd. The pair had allegedly researched various forms of explosives before deciding on the deadly poison. They ordered 3,300 castor beans over the internet and successfully made a small amount of ricin. They also bought a hamster to test the potency of the poison. The couple were caught in June 2018 after a tip-off from the US Central Intelligence Agency, which had noticed the large online purchase of castor seeds. Before travelling to Germany, Sief Allah H. worked as a mailman in Tunisia. He had tried to travel to Syria to fight alongside extremists. But when he failed to go there, he thought about an alternative plan to carry out the biological attack. In another case, the Dusseldorf regional court sentenced Carla-Josephine S., a 33-year-old German woman, to five years and three months in prison, for taking her three children to Syria in 2015 without the knowledge or consent of their father. The eldest son, trained as a child soldier aged 7, is thought to have died in a 2018 rocket attack. She had also joined a women's ISIS unit in Syria. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Sat, 02 May 2020 20:29:20 -0400
A covid-19 infection starts as a local upper respiratory tract infection, but can spread to affect multiple organ systems with consequences that are only now being understood. When it does spread in this way, the result is multi-system critical illness associated with a high risk of death. The multi-system manifestation of a covid-19 infection is caused by a combination of specific host defence responses with associated inflammatory activity and (micro) vascular involvement with distinct coagulopathy and a strong propensity to develop thromboembolic complications. The hyper-inflammatory tissue response, going hand in hand with a compromised circulatory system, leads to fulminant multiple organ dysfunction affecting lungs, heart, kidneys, nerves, muscles, gastrointestinal tract and brain. In the patients most severely affected, a cytokine storm occurs, characterized by very high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α, interleukins, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, and several chemokines. These patients are those at highest risk of multi-system failure and significant mortality. Males and those with pre-existing hypertension or coronary disease are at higher risk of severe disease, consistent with known correlates of ACE2 expression; the ACE2 gene is located on the X chromosome. The widespread nature of these effects reflects in large part the ability of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to infect endothelial cells via the ACE2 receptors, with likely release of cytokines that make them more adhesive and increased coagulation; patients with covid-19 can manifest hypercoagulability, with high levels of D-dimer, fibrinogen, and factor VIII, leading to venous thromboembolism and a mixture of large proximal pulmonary artery thrombi and fibrin micro-thrombi in the presence of vascular inflammation. Thus, in the lungs, post-mortem samples from critically ill patients reveal local haemorrhage. Starting with the cardiovascular system, cardiac enzyme release can be observed even in the early stages, suggesting myocardial inflammation and damage. Cardiologists have reported patients presenting with chest pain as the primary symptoms in the absence of pyrexia and other disease manifestations. Renal failure is a common complication of severe covid-19. Proximal renal tubular cells express ACE-2 and direct infection by SARS-CoV-2 may cause the renal insult, but indirect injury may occur through endothelial inflammation or as a consequence of medical management. Reduced fluid administration to minimise pulmonary vascular congestion, aggravated by elevated positive end-expiratory pressure as a ventilatory strategy with ARDS, may increase pressure in the renal vein, impairing renal blood flow. Gut and liver dysfunction, manifest by deranged tests of liver function and slow tolerance of enteral feeding, are well recognised and occur more frequently in severe illness. Neurologic abnormalities are documented in up to 50% of the most severely ill patients, including impaired consciousness, acute cerebrovascular events, and muscle disease. SARS-CoV-2, may directly invade the central nervous system and neuromuscular tissue both via a vascular route and by retrograde neuronal transmission. It is in the ICU setting where organ failure in covid-19 is most studied. The April ICNARC data reports 93% patients requiring basic and 25% advanced cardiac support, 20% renal, 5% neurological and 0.4% hepatic support. Covid-19 is clearly a complex clinical syndrome and not a straightforward viral pneumonia. Moreover, it is one where there is an ever present risk of iatrogenic damage, given the known hazards of prolonged ventilation and the need to keep pace with the rapidly increasing understanding of the pathological processes involved and the opportunities to intervene. Clinicians managing covid-19 should have an awareness of this multi-system impact and actively seek evidence of organ involvement outside of the respiratory tract. Early involvement of the myocardium may be an important prognostic factor, with increasing trajectory of troponin associated with a fivefold risk in the need for ventilation and in mortality suggesting early monitoring would be helpful. Early proactive management to support renal function could improve later survival in ICU and aggressive thrombo-prophylaxis may reduce pulmonary emboli, while understanding the extent of organ involvement will guide escalation management decision making. These clinically driven interventions in medical care require urgent, real time evaluation of effectiveness. It is too early to know what the long-term consequences of covid-19 will be. They are likely to include the effects of post intensive care syndrome. More than a quarter of patients suffer cognitive impairment with variable duration, psychological distress and physical detriment. There will in addition be sequelae of covid-19 infection itself as yet undefined. The experience of survivors of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) points to a risk of sustained reductions in lung and exercise capacity and high levels of psychological distress. We must now urgently report studies of the follow up of discharged survivors of this multi-system disease to inform the provision of rehabilitation services and to better equip our primary care and community teams to manage the challenge of patients with multi-system impairment discharged to home.

| COVID-19 Doctors Finally Understand the Reason Behind Coronavirus' Deadly Blood Clots | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sat, 02 May 2020 20:22:45 -0400
The novel coronavirus infection attacks the body of each patient differently with an onslaught of various complications that could be deadly if not treated. Among the complications they have seen among COVID-19 patients were neurological symptoms, including confusion and seizure, and an increase of young infected patients also developed stroke symptoms.
 (Photo : Lutz Dieckmann from Pixabay)Researchers found that COVID-19 infection may cause blood clotting in severely ill patients. COVID-19 Causes Tiny Blood ClotsAccording to a report by BGR, experts found out that the virus can cause blood coagulation and could create tiny blood clots that form in the lungs first--and now, medical doctors finally understand how it happens.

00:00 / 00:00 They have also found out that these tiny clots start in the lungs following the infection and that the higher the clotting, the worse the prognosis. Most cases with worse prognosis also tend to require intensive care. The study, which was published in the British Journal of Haematology, has already been peer-reviewed. Reason Behind High Levels of Mortality"Our novel findings demonstrate that COVID-19 is associated with a unique type of blood clotting disorder that is primarily focussed within the lungs and which undoubtedly contributes to the high levels of mortality being seen in patients with COVID-19," said Professor James O'Donnell, the director of the Irish Centre for Vascular Biology, RCSI.The disorder is known as pulmonary intravascular coagulopathy (PIC). It is different from disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) that is observed in various other medical conditions. The disorder might be responsible for the blood clots reaching the heart or the brain of the patients, which could then lead to heart attacks or stroke that could be deadly to those with severe complications.

As of now, the team will require further research to know whether blood-thinning medications could help high-risk patients against the formation of these tiny clots and help save their lives. The team would also have to continue researching the complication in order to understand how the blood clots form in the lungs and find a way to develop more effective treatments for coronavirus patients. Their study also found out that both race and ethnicity "have major effects upon thrombotic risk." Caucasians and African-American patients are more likely to develop blood clotting disorder compared to Chinese patients. The study says Chinese patients are four times less likely to develop them compared to Caucasian patients, while African-American patients have a significantly higher risk.

A panel of experts highlight the problems with all major claims of the official account of the 9/11 attacks. Many Americans have been embarrassed by the Trump presidency. But Americans should also be embarrassed by the fact that this country's foreign policy since 2001, which has resulted in millions of deaths, has been based on a complex deception. 9/11 Unmasked is the result of a six-year investigation by an international review panel, which has provided 51 points illustrating the problematic status of all the major claims in the official account of the 9/11 attacks, some of which are obviously false. Most dramatically, the official account of the destruction of the Twin Towers and World Trade Center 7 could not possibly be true, unless the laws of physics were suspended that day.

NEW ORLEANS Area hospitals and New Orleans EMS are reporting fewer cases of illness like heart attacks and strokes during the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving health officials to believe people might be avoiding emergency rooms because they fear they might be infected.
I would say we are about 40% down in our volume currently from what wed normally be seeing at this point of the year," said Roland Waguespack, medical director at East Jefferson General Emergency Department.
Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 May Also Harm Brain, Mind
He believes the drop in numbers of patients with stroke and heart attacks doesn't mean these illness aren't happening. "In south Louisiana and New Orleans -- those medical conditions don't disappear, Waguespack said. They are happening and what we are concerned about is that people are afraid that we can't keep them safe in our emergency rooms and hospitals and that they are staying away from us." In addition to East Jefferson, Tulane Medical Center Emergency Room says they have seen evidence that people are unnecessarily delaying care and believe its negatively impacting their health. University Medical Center also confirmed they are seeing lower numbers of patients coming in for conditions that they are used to, including heart attacks and stroke. That is a concern, according to a spokesperson from the hospital, but maintain the emergency department is ready to safely treat patients with any illness. According to EMS Director Dr. Emily Nichols, EMS saw a 25% drop in people using 9-1-1 with these conditions. Nichols expects a bigger drop in April and is worried for those who wait to get care. "Both stroke and heart attack are critical medical emergencies, Nichols said during a press conference at EMS headquarters Wednesday. They require early recognition and if they are not treated they could be fatal." In the last seven weeks, medical officials at Tulane Medical Center emergency room report that they have still seen about the same number of stroke patients; however, staff hasnt been able to use the time sensitive clot busting drug, tPa. Typically ,tPa needs to be administered within a few hours of the onset of stroke symptoms. We were able to administer tPa just once (this week), said Sarah Balyeat, communications coordinator at Tulane Medical Center, in an email. All other stroke patients have arrived too late for the clot busting drug to be effective. RELATED: Track COVID-19: Louisiana Coronavirus Outbreak Map RELATED: Elective medical procedures will resume in Louisiana next week, Governor announces Area hospitals are fully staffed to treat these critical patients and are taking precautions like screening for COVID-19 and separating positive patients from others. Doctors are also using appropriate PPE, according to Sarah Babcock with the New Orleans Health Dept. "We have more room now than we did before COVID-19 -- our hospitals -- I can speak to my hospital -- East Jefferson has had the resources we'd needed and have been able to take care of patients of all illnesses during this time," Waguespack said. Symptoms of a stroke include sudden weakness, numbness or confusion. Symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain, shortness of breath or nausea. While sometimes these symptoms are severe, doctors say, other times they are more mild. Make no mistake though, the longer you wait, especially for a stroke, the worse it could be, according to Balyeat. The longer you wait to get to the hospital the more likely you are to have long term deficiencies, Balyeat said.

In Hungary, a new law giving the prime minister wide-ranging emergency powers includes a provision prohibiting publication of "false information" about the pandemic, with violators facing up to five years in prison. Journalists there
told the German public news outlet Deutsche Welle
that the law has generated uncertainty over whether they could be prosecuted for reporting true information, could harm independent news outlets' revenue streams, and makes the already difficult job of obtaining information even more so.
In China, the government maintains that controlling information is necessary to combat the disease. Chen Qiushi, a citizen journalist who traveled in January to Wuhan, where the virus was discovered, and who posted videos on YouTube reporting that hospitals were overwhelmed,
has not been heard from
since Feb. 6.
This "Covid-19 crackdown" as Joel Simon, the executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists,
has called it
is unfolding as we prepare to mark
World Press Freedom Day
on May 3. This annual event serves as a reminder to respect the press, defend journalists and news organizations from attacks on their independence, and remember journalists who have lost their lives while doing the heroic work of keeping the public informed under difficult circumstances. This year, that reminder is particularly resonant.
The enormous challenges and high stakes of this pandemic have created an urgent need for independent, timely and credible information. Moreover, the daily onslaught of misinformation has made this literally a matter of life and death. Yet many repressive regimes and autocratic leaders are seeking to restrict the press even as journalists are working to hold governments accountable for their response to this pandemic and to report on the growing public health crisis and the concomitant financial toll.
Particularly in China, we've seen how self-defeating press restrictions can be in combating the spread of Covid-19. On March 24, Reporters Without Borders (also known as Reporters sans frontières, or RSF), a Paris-based nongovernmental organization that advocates for freedom of information,
wrote
that "without the control and censorship imposed by the authorities, the Chinese media would have informed the public much earlier of the severity of the coronavirus epidemic, sparing thousands of lives and perhaps avoiding the current pandemic."
RSF has created
Tracker 19
, a tool designed to evaluate Covid-19's impact on journalism (the name refers both to the disease and to Article 19 of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
). A map on the Tracker 19 website shows documented instances across five continents of state censorship, deliberate disinformation and other efforts that obstruct the public's right to information. RSF has compiled a list of concerning developments in more than 40 countries.
The abuse of press freedom is hardly limited to authoritarian nations. A
new law
in South Africa which has guaranteed press freedom since its 1996 constitution and which enjoys a tradition of independent journalism has made it a crime to publish "disinformation" about the pandemic.
Developments in India, the world's largest democracy, are even more troubling. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government asked the country's Supreme Court to require news outlets to obtain state permission before publishing any coronavirus-related content essentially empowering the government to censor coverage. While the court denied the request, it ordered news organizations to "publish the official version" of coronavirus developments,
CPJ noted
. Journalists who have continued independent reporting on the pandemic have faced intense harassment,
as RSF has detailed
.
Responsible reporting from journalists who are free to call out mismanagement of the pandemic and deception by government officials has never been more vital. In February, the World Health Organization
termed
the swell of rapidly evolving information about the Covid-19 outbreak including a flood of misinformation an "infodemic." On April 14, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres referred to this "dangerous epidemic of misinformation" as
"a poison that is putting even more lives at risk."At a time when their work is most needed, journalists worldwide are risking not only their freedom but their lives on the front lines to cover this devastating pandemic. They deserve our appreciation and need our support more than ever. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
