Dr. Desiree Marshall, director of Autopsy and After Death Services for University of Washington Medicine, examines the preserved heart of a person who died of COVID-19 related complications, as she works in a negative-pressure laboratory, Tuesday, July 14, 2020, in Seattle.
Even those figures don’t capture the pandemic’s full sweep. Nine of every 10 students worldwide shut out of their schools at one point. More than 7 million flights grounded. Countless moments of celebration and sorrow -- weddings and graduations, baby showers and funerals -- put off, reconfigured or abandoned because of worries about safety.
But the coronavirus has a weakness: an outer membrane that can be destroyed by ordinary soap. That neutralizes the virus, which is why health experts emphasize the need to wash hands. “People were getting increasingly excited and beginning to brainstorm ideas,” said Friedrich, who has spent years studying other infectious diseases.
Scientists are fairly certain the disease originated in bats, which harbor many coronaviruses. To get to humans, it may have been passed through another animal, possibly consumed for meat. By late January, when Chinese authorities walled off the city of Wuhan, where the disease was first diagnosed, it was too late to stop the spread.
Soon after the first case in Wuhan, Chinese tourists with the virus traveled to France. But doctors there reported recently that a fishmonger contracted the disease even earlier than that, from an unknown source. On January 21, the first confirmed U.S. case was reported in Washington state, in a man who had traveled to Asia.
Even after five days in the hospital, Vivian Castro, the nurse who became infected, said she returned home struggling for air.The reason why becomes clear in autopsies of those who have died, some with lungs that weigh far more than usual. Under a microscope, evidence of the virus’ destruction is even more striking.
You sound like the knucklehead in the white house when you say it’s invisible
When did this all happen? I must have been stuck in a cave!
I’ve seen pictures of it everywhere. Invisible
Yeah, *seemingly everywhere*.
It's Chem trails I tell ya, Chem Trails... Or people who dont know how to wash their hands and stop picking their noses.
Lies, all lies.
Sure
Hey, do you guys have a preferred audio track of a person screaming in horror that I should listen to while reading this or will any old one do?
Should schools open for in person instruction? Look at Israel.
Ap should change their name to Ab absolutely bullshit AB 😂😊
Courage, another step to vaccinate and gag 7.5 BILLION of EARTH landlords against 578,000 deaths 'with' coronavirus. Less than normal flu. Proclaim dictatorial lockdown and destroy the economy😷
I believe your fakenews spread faster.
That’s because China made it in its Wuhan Lab and purposely released it to the world.
Deadly virus with a 96% survival rate
I’ve had symptoms for 119 days straight. It’s horrible. Can’t get anything done and can’t stand up more than 10 mins without dizzy spells. Daily fever, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, SOB, and so much more. Every day feels like dying. I hate it
Not the only thing to worry about 😞
It's so invisible it doesn't exist....
