Is coronavirus Covid-19 stalking residents in Oakland, and Alameda County?

By Lynda Carson - June 11, 2020

Presently, coronavirus Covid-19 cases are skyrocketing in Oakland, and Alameda County with 4,033 known cases, and 105 deaths in Alameda County.

Oakland has 1,589 known cases, and the 94601 zip code area in the Fruitvale district is the Covid-19 hot spot zone in Oakland. The virus is spreading incredibly fast at this point in time.

In recent weeks, 11 people have tested positive for Covid-19 at the homeless camp near Home Depot in East Oakland. Additionally, 4 employees have tested positive for the virus at McDonalds near 45th St., and Telegraph. Plus 12 workers tested positive for Covid-19 at Cardenas Market on Highland St. There have been 43 residents that have tested positive at the Excell Health Care Center in Oakland on Highland St., in addition to 10 deaths or less. Redwood Healthcare Center LLC in Oakland on Highland St., had 29 residents that have tested positive for Covid-19, with 10 or fewer Covid-19 related deaths.

There are many other cases, deaths and outbreaks throughout Alameda County, including a recent outbreak at the St. Rose Hospital in Hayward, where 37 hospital staff members tested positive with Covid-19.

However, the Alameda County Health Department refuses to release the accurate figures for how many people that have been dying in the skilled nursing facilities in Oakland, and Alameda County. The health department has been sued recently by the Bay Area News Group for refusing to disclose the true number of people dying in some of the death camps known as skilled nursing facilities in Oakland, and Alameda County.


Is the coronavirus Covid-19 stalking people in Oakland, and Alameda County?


As I have been trying to understand Covid-19, I wondered if the virus could think somehow, trying to figure out how it can infect us easier.

Then after searching, I found an older article about a virus expert named Michael Lai.

According to Michael Lai, a coronavirus expert, Lai believes that viruses can think. “Viruses are very intelligent. They can think. They do things that we do not expect. They adapt to the environment. They change themselves in order to survive,” said Lai, professor of molecular microbiology and immunology and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator.”

Apparently, not only can the coronavirus Covid-19 virus think, but it has figured out how to kill some people easier than others.

As an example, according to a recent report with The Lancet, there is a growing body of evidence showing that the outcomes for people being infected by the virus are better for people who do not have a vitamin D deficiency.

Reportedly in The Lancet, “black and minority ethnic people—who are more likely to have vitamin D deficiency because they have darker skin—seem to be worse affected than white people by COVID-19. For example, data from the UK Office for National Statistics shows that black people in England and Wales are more than four times more likely to die from COVID-19 than are white people.”

When I wondered if Covid-19 affects people with different blood types, I dug up some reports that seemed real interesting after doing some searches.

Reportedly, “A new, preliminary study has found correlations between blood type and the likelihood of being hospitalized with COVID-19. According to the authors, people with type A blood might be more at risk than those with other blood types. They also found that the proportion of people with blood type O was significantly lower among the group with COVID-19 than among the general population.”

So, it appears that some people have a better chance surviving the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic better than others, despite their age or health conditions.

Regardless, the virus is smart, and can infect one another persons as it is floating through the air, even when people are around 13 feet apart. The virus eventually, drops to the floor if it does not stick to something.

The virus reportedly can stick to the bottoms of peoples shoes, and can be brought into peoples homes that way. The virus can even live and multiply in peoples shoes from what the reports are stating in the reports.

The virus can also survive in water for days and weeks, and it appears that it can stick to just about anything. It can live on some items longer than on other items until it dissipates.

Covid-19 Symptoms:

Reportedly, “People who develop severe COVID-19 symptoms follow a fairly regular pattern.

According to the report, "On day one, the person often runs a fever and experiences muscle pain, fatigue, and a dry or unproductive cough. By day five their breathing is labored, and by day seven they may be hospitalized.

Day eight is when the situation can turn dire, as fluid starts filling the lungs and blocking oxygen flow, a condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome. That fluid shows up with a telltale "ground glass" look on X-ray scans of the lungs.

The pattern of critical cases is alarming to clinicians, and something they're still trying to grasp: It's not just people with apparent risk factors like smoking and chronic illnesses who get severely ill — it's also young and seemingly healthy people.
The virus may replicate quickly enough to trigger the immune system very suddenly instead of gradually, causing it to go "berserk," a virologist told The Washington Post.

In addition to damage caused by the virus, inflammation may further open up lung capillaries and cause them to leak more — causing fluid to quickly build up in the lungs, cut oxygen flow, and strain most organs in the body, including the heart, which must work harder.

The virus also seems highly correlated with blood clots and strokes. It's not yet clear why, though one explanation is that the virus may be attacking blood cells. Neurological symptoms are also a seemingly common but poorly understood issue.”

The thing about viruses thinking, that's got to be an anthropomorphic metaphor, or it's flat out untrue. A virus is simply protein-coated RNA or DNA. The protein helps it survive in the wild. Viruses do not have their own cells, much less brains of any kind.

Viruses can randomly mutate inside a host, and then the mutated version can spread, but they do not think and they do not change in any way other than to degrade while they are floating out there apart from host cells.

Related misinformation in this article borders on irresponsible, and casts doubt on other claims made, as well as the infection and death rates cited. Please, do not just search the internet and then repeat whatever you find without critical analysis. There's a lot of crap out there, and this article adds to it.

Duh makes false arguments

1) With all due respect. I did not suggest that a virus had a brain, nor have I read any reports making any such claims.

That is strike one against the false argument that Duh has made.

2) Duh did not describe or define any of the other false accusations being made by Duh.

That is strike 2 against the assertions made by Duh.

At the least it is worth pointing out that the coronavirus Covid-19 has presently outsmarted all the people in the medial profession around the world, in regards to coming up with a vaccination to counter the deadly effects of Covid-19.

It's worth noting that planet earth is intelligent enough to provide and sustain life for all the people involved in destroying life on the planet.

But I am not suggesting that the planet has a brain, and I do not know anyone that has suggested that the planet has a brain.

At the same time I have seen people with a brain who appear to reveal that they have a lack of intelligence at times.

Sincerely,
-Lynda Carson

Low vitamin D levels are associated with severe COVID-19 symptoms, including for children in who the viral infection triggers a weak and dysregulated immune response resulting in Kawasaki disease. Links to research on this can be found at my page http://aminotheory.com/cv19/ and at https://www.grassrootshealth.net and http://agingbiotech.info/vitamindcovid19/ .

Here is a chart relating average vitamin D (25OHD) levels to D3 supplementation doses and body weight, adapted from https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0111265 .
