I took this article down after I got new information that Coronavirus was not China’s fault Wednesday night.
I am putting it back up to show the World this is what a biological attack would or could look like.
The reality, in this case, we may never know if this was intentional or not. China is doing what we’d expect them to do, saying this is effecting their people as well and not their fault.
But in the case of these kinds of weapons, any deaths from this virus would be considered acceptable losses; plus, tremendous amounts of information are created, and much learning is taking place.
The World and it’s terrorist groups are watching this I suspect very closely, for how they might disperse a Biological Weapon of some kind. In Syria, their people have already seen its leader, Assad, use gas on his own people.
Here is the article in its entirety.
Biological-Chemical-Germ Warfare
Biological warfare (BW) – also know as germ warfare -is the use of natural toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, insects, and fungi with the intent to kill or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war. Biological weapons (often termed “bio-weapons,” “biological threat agents,” or “bio-agents”) are living organisms or replicating entities (viruses, which are not universally considered “alive”). Entomological (insect) warfare is a subtype of BW.
Biological warfare is distinct from nuclear warfare and chemical warfare, which, together with biological warfare, make up NBC, the military initialism for nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare using weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). None of these are considered conventional weapons, which are deployed primarily for their explosive, kinetic, or incendiary potential.
Biological weapons may be employed in various ways to gain a strategic or tactical advantage over the enemy, either by threats or by actual deployments. Like some chemical weapons, biological weapons may also be useful as area denial weapons. These agents may be lethal or non-lethal and may be targeted against a single individual, a group of people, or even an entire population. They may be developed, acquired, stockpiled, or deployed by nation-states or by non-national groups. In the latter case, or if a nation-state uses it clandestinely, it may also be considered bioterrorism. (Bioterrorism is terrorism involving the intentional release or dissemination of biological agents. These agents are bacteria, viruses, insects, fungi, or toxins, and maybe in a naturally occurring or a human-modified form, in much the same way in biological warfare.)
A nation or group that can pose a credible threat of mass casualty can alter the terms on which other countries or groups interact with it. Biological weapons allow for the potential to create a level of destruction and loss of life far above nuclear, chemical or conventional weapons, relative to their mass and cost of development and storage. Therefore, biological agents may be useful as strategic deterrents in addition to their utility as offensive weapons on the battlefield.
While containment of BW is less of a concern for specific criminal or terrorist organizations, it remains a significant concern for the military and civilian populations of virtually all nations.
What is Covid-19 or Coronavirus?
For those who need clarity: COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus is spreading mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within 6 feet) through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It may also be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose, or possibly eyes.
Patients with COVID-19 have had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough, and shortness of breath. If you have traveled from an affected area, there may be restrictions on your movements for up to 2 weeks.
If you develop symptoms during that period, call your health care provider and tell them about your travel and symptoms. They will give you instructions on how to receive care without exposing other people to illness.
You can protect yourself from illness with everyday preventive actions, such as avoiding close contact with people who are sick, wearing a mask, and washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are unavailable, you may use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. The CDC recommends that you avoid crowds, cruises, and non-essential air travel. If an outbreak occurs in your community, please stay home as much as possible.
Fear Causes Many Reactions
I would say based on the stock market reactions around the globe that China has very successfully disrupted things in our world as well as in our country. Biological terrorism lasts much longer than merely blowing something up.
Fear and or the ability to cause it is man’s greatest weapon; the church has used it for centuries to control people and spread misinformation.
The United States government, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), appears to have been caught entirely by surprise, which is alarming and should be concerning to the American people.
I find it difficult to believe that there is not one person at the CDC that did not have the forethought to consider that this disease might jump from China to other nations.
I could see how other nations could have been found unawares but did not expect such a thing to happen on our shores.
President Trump last week told us we needed to stay calm, and all would work out; he was right in his understanding. However, that is not human nature.
What people must come to understand is there is an attractive force in our universe called The Law of attraction, and we attract to us more of what we focus on with intense emotion.
Currently, we have economic turmoil, KAOS -around the world. Businesses that were thriving days ago have closed their doors until this crisis passes, or they are limiting the way they do business, closing earlier, offering free delivery of groceries, whatever they can to ride out this situation.
What About Our Children?
For many school children, spring break is now extended for an unknown time period, and once back in school, the school year will go into the summer months and decisions about when to start the 20 – 21 school year.
For many students, school is not just about learning. It’s a warm place to be during the day; there are meals for lower-income students and some families will be harder hit than others. Some families are homeless, so if the children aren’t in school, they will have to deal with the elements of being outside until the crisis is over.
Closures will disproportionately affect the parents and children who rely on school-provided services.
My mother lives in an independent facility for the aged, and they are not allowing anyone to step foot in their facility unless it is a resident; no outside service personnel until this situation ends, including family members, unless necessary.
In an episode of NCIS about ten years ago, a terrorist had gotten hold of a biological substance which he was deciding on the best way to disperse it.
He went to several banks and withdrew thousands of dollars in ones, put the substance on them, went to the train station where there were lots of people, then threw the money up in the air and walked away. People seeing all this money were grabbing it furiously while the NCIS agents were telling them no.
Many were taken to the hospital because they did not understand the money was tainted with poison.
The World Health Organization, part of the United Nations, also seems to have been caught entirely off guard by this whole thing. They are the organization that advises all nations about disease and viruses.
Over 35 companies are racing to create a vaccine, but that will take time.
Trump reached out to a German company and asked them to make a vaccine that would be available exclusively in the U. S.
Trade negotiations with China are ongoing and up and down like a roller coaster. Perhaps this is a power play by the Chinese, an attempt to end America’s ruling power in the world and show the world China is up for the task, a sleeping giant, waiting in the wings.
To China: If your mission was to disrupt the world’s financial markets, cause fear, panic, and kayos, then I say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
To everyone else, cover your mouth when you cough and your nose when you sneeze. Please wear a mask, scarf or some other covering if you are infected.
Thank you
