  • 相撲の大阪場所はとても妙な雰囲気。歓声も拍手もない。し~~~ん。This month's sumo bout is taking place with no audience, no cheering and no applause. Hubby says that they should at least fill in the empty stands computer graphics people. Who is going to fling seat cushions after the decisive bout of the day?The wrestlers are not wearing masks, but are splashing the ring with hand sanitizer instead of sprinkling salt.

  • Schandflöte

    INCENTIVE FOR MUSICIANS TO PRACTICE (From Facebook)
    When we were in Rothenburg, Germany, recently we went to the Medieval Crime Museum, a fascinating place! In one display case was a SHAME FLUTE (Schandflöte) that was used in Medieval times for shaming bad musicians.

    The neck of the musician was placed in the iron band and his fingers were locked under the iron bar, making it look as though he was playing.

    29th February 2020 is a watershed. The coronavirus will internationalise and bring about human calamity. As 60% of the world population is estimated to become infected, it will be the biggest crisis for human survival in a millennia.

    What is the CCP’s actual cognition of the coronavirus?

    The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders comment that unlike SARS, the novel coronavirus has the characteristics of long incubation as well as long treatment periods. It is difficult to predict the viability of the virus and to confirm contagious cases.

    The contagion is uncontrollable, particularly for those under the same roof. Unexpectedly the virus attacks not only lung but heart, and causes the exhaustion of both heart and kidney.

    There is no treatment except for supporting machines such as Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

    The CCP leadership acknowledges that the epidemic will be getting worse and cause crises for food and supply chains.

    What is the situation at the epicentre?

    Willing to take all legal liabilities, Miles Guo states that the novel coronavirus is a result of multiple virus engineerings in the P4 lab in Wuhan. The virus was not naturally evolved and was manufactured to target on the Americans and Hong Kongers.

    Yet karma works imminently. Although at least 20,000 Hong Kongers have been infected, the death toll is exceptionally low. Instead, the virus has kicked off hard in Wuhan and Beijing, the least desirable locations to the CCP. Based on internal informants, in Hubei a few millions have been infected. The death toll is absolutely more than 100,000. Most died at home. Except for the most vulnerable old and small, those who have died had been most loyal and obedient to the CCP.

    What will happen next?

     

    1. A few of the most powerful CCP figures, other than the seven Standing Committee members and the members of the Politburo, are going to die of the coronavirus. In spite of blood transfusions, kidney transplants and using most advanced ECMO, at least three would die by the 1st April.

    2. The CCP’s economy would be penalised collectively by the world. The world would be witnessed to decouple from the CCP and the decoupling is expected to be complete by the 1st April.

    3. The currencies of Chinese RMB and Hong Kong dollar would devaluate to worthless as blank paper.

    4. Hong Kong and numerous western cosmopolitans would be in lockdown for comprehensive quarantine. New York, London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles, Milan, Rome would be hit hard by the pandemic.

    5. Around the globe the economic growth rates would be negative. Yet the ones that would suffer the most would be the CCP and its accomplice – the Wall Street financial markets.

    6. Hubei, Heilongjiang, Chongqing, Jiangxi, Hangzhou, Shanghai would have the highest death tolls in China.

    7. Water, rice, noodle, salt, preserved vegetables are the necessities to stock. Ensure proper telecommunications. Keep cash handy. Credit card is useless.

    The worst is yet to come. From 1st April, the CCP’s demise would be counted in minutes. The 4th June would be the National Day of a new country for Chinese people without the CCP.

    First, let’s introduce the Xilu website of the CCP (www.xilu.com). It is the CCP’s largest military portal, equivalent to the pentagon’s website portal, and its voice stands for the CCP’s Central Military Commission.

    Xilu.com (www.xilu.com) is a Chinese military portal that brings together authoritative generals and well-known experts to focus on world military trends with military enthusiasts.

    As the largest military website in China, Xilu.com purports itself as an online spiritual home, attracting numerous thoughtful and aspiring netizens and forming an increasingly large group of military enthusiasts. At present, it has 1 million open forums, more than 400 thousand private forums, 15 million registered users, and the average daily single post traffic can reach millions.

    Since its establishment in 1999, Xilu has been famous for providing high-speed, stable, open, and free Internet services. After decades of trials in the world of the internet, Xilu hasstood at the forefront of military websites, relying on the strength of its robust technology, open platform services, and impeccable management system. In 2002, Xilu was awarded 19th place among the top 100 commercial sites in “China Internet Weekly” magazine. In 2004, Xilu was rated as “the most popular online community among netizens.” In 2004, Xilu was ranked by netizens as the second among the Top 100 Global Chinese forums. The long history of Xilu.com is filled with honors and awards.

    The video is based on an article published on the Xilu website on January 26 and has recently been widely circulated on the internet in mainland China. Following is a transcript of this video.

    Chinese scientists have discovered a terrible secret, four key proteins in the Wuhan virus have been replaced, so that it can target Chinese people.

    Several papers have already analyzed the Wuhan coronavirus and said that it is not a product of nature. Finally, we have the proof. On January 21st, SCIENTIA SINICA Vitae published a collaborative study by three researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealing the true nature of the new coronavirus. Please read the report:

    On January 21, at the Pasteur Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hao Pei, a researcher from Shanghai, Zhong Wu, a researcher from the National Engineering Research Center for Emerging Control Drug Technology of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, and Li Xuan, a researcher from the main laboratory of the CAS Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences, published their article online in the English version of SCIENTIA SINICA Vitae,” Providing an academic explanation the evolutionary origin of new coronavirus of Wuhan and its mechanisms for human infection.

    The most important conclusion of which is: Although four key proteins of the Wuhan coronavirus were replaced, it still maintains a strong affinity with human ACE2.

    Amidst their surprise, the researchers carefully compared the s-protein structure of SARS with that of the Wuhan coronavirus. They found that, despite four key amino acids being replaced, the structure did not change, the 3D structure of the RBD domains of the two are almost identical, no wonder it’s so similar to SARS. It was very easy to mislead people into thinking it’s the SARS virus, then go in the wrong direction.

    This study suggests that the Wuhan novel coronavirus may infect human respiratory epithelial cells through the interactions of S-proteins with human ACE2. Furthermore, this result also suggests that the Wuhan novel coronavirus has a strong ability to infect people.

    This study has laid a scientific theoretical foundation for the scientific prevention and control of the Wuhan novel coronavirus by Chinese medical workers, as well as the development of detection and intervention techniques.

    After reading the report, people were even more enraged in their state of panic! The key is: “4 key proteins of the Wuhan novel coronavirus were replaced,” First, the goal is to disguise the SARS virus so that it would be difficult for the doctors to identify, and mislead people down older roads of prevention and treatment related to “SARS” in order to delay treatment time.

    Next, make it possess “a very strong capacity to infect people” to achieve the goal of rapid spread and infection. Are bats and bamboo mice responsible for this apocalyptic biotechnology?

    In a natural environment, this precise “replacement” of “four key proteins” would be impossible, even in 10,000 years!

    Evidence has proven, the Wuhan virus can only be produced by laboratory intervention! Human nature has been obliterated to this point!

    In 2010, China triumphed over the SARS virus. In 2015, the medical team of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) defeated the ebola virus in Africa. We meet a new challenge with this outbreak, in which hostile forces chose to unleash a new virus precisely on the Chinese people’s traditional festival.

    Medical and Health Research and Epidemic Prevention Units across the country have entered a state of “war readiness.” The whole country is prepared, the Chinese people will definitely win this battle!

    Evildoers will be punished by heaven in the end.

    The imperialists have never ceased their destructive attacks and campaigns against China, China’s rapid growth and rise have brought imperialism to the point where it has stripped away all pretence and stepped out in public. The enemy always attacks by any means, we must at least fight back the same way.

    Let’s emphasis this again, we are human beings. We should play morally. Tooth for tooth, blood for blood!

    From SARS to Wuhan’s novel pneumonia, look at America’s amazing plan

    Sixteen years after the last SARS outbreak ended, the “novel coronavirus pneumonia” infection suddenly occurred in China. As of 24:00 on January 21, the National Health Commission has received….

    Currently Dean of the Zhongshan School of Medicine of Sun Yat-sen University. Former Dean of the School of Basic Medicine at Wuhan University, Vice President of the School of Life Sciences at Wuhan University, Professor of the School of Life Sciences of Wuhan University, Deputy Director of the National Priority Laboratory of Virology, and Director of theModern Virology Research Center of Wuhan University. From 2016-2020, he served as the Dean of the School of Basic Medicine of Sun Yat-sen University (Shenzhen), performing research on the RNA viruses’ molecular mechanisms of genome replication and interaction with host cells (Coronavirus and hepatitis C virus).

    His research areas include: RNA viruses’ molecular mechanismsof genome replication and the interaction with host cells(Coronavirus and hepatitis C virus); the molecular mechanismsof viral immune escape; and HIV gene therapy based on RNA interference (RNAi).

    On November 26, 2015, at the invitation of the Ge Hong Senior Forum, Guo Deyin, then a professor of Wuhan University, brought a brilliant academic report titled “novel coronavirus: from structure and function to drug screening” to all teachers and students of Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

    Regarding the notion that the novel virus which started in Wuhan and has impacted the globe originated in a laboratory, Guo Deyin, Dean of the School of Medicine at Sun Yat Sen University, also told China Science Daily that “A conspiracy theory does not require evidence, but science does.” Currently, he claims that based on the analysis of the evolution of virus’ genome sequence, it provides strong evidence for a natural origin of the virus, which is enough to destroy the rumors of its artificial origin.

    Press conference on February 3: The US government hasn’t provided any substantive assistance to China, but it was the first to evacuate personnel from its consulate in Wuhan, the first to suggest partial withdrawal of its embassy staff, and the first to impose a travel ban on Chinese travellers. What it has done can only create and spread fear, which is a very bad example. Even American media and experts doubted the government’s decision, saying that the US government’s restrictions on China are precisely what the WHO rejects, that the US is turning from overconfidence to fear and overreaction, and suspected that banning the entry of visitors who travelled to China in the past 14 days may be in violation of civil rights instead of reducing risks of virus spreading.

  • 岡田晴恵教授、モーニングショー内で国立感染症研究所のOBと暴露。

    https://www.bookservice.jp/2020/02/28/post-41559/

    やはり、腐ってる厚生労働省関連。

    2020.2.28の羽鳥慎一モーニングショーで、白鴎大学の岡田晴恵特任教授が「民間に検査を委託すると国立感染症研究所が独占できない、OBが邪魔している」と言う趣旨の発言をして、現状を暴露しました。番組内は一瞬静まり返り、玉川徹ですら固まっていた。
    自分のブログでも以前、利権がらみで民間への情報が提供されないと書いたことがありましたが、テレビで告発されるとは正直思いませんでした。
    関係者の中では、今まで周知の事実だったが、岡田晴恵教授の政府や厚生労働省に我慢できずの発言に自分は思いました。この日はいつになく熱く語っていたのも印象に残ります。

    岡田晴恵教授、今後大丈夫でしょうか?干されないか心配です。

    今後を追いたいと思います。

    玉川徹氏は、「野党今こそ追及しろ」と言ってましたが、野党にも絡んでる議員が居そうなので無理だと思います。

    追記(岡田晴恵教授が、熱く語った流れです。)

    岡田晴恵教授は「プライベートの事あまり言いたくない」と前置きしたうえでの発言です。
    ※一部語尾等正確ではありません。
    ※感染研→国立感染症研究所/衛生研→衛生研究所 で良いかと思います。

    よく、中枢にある政治家の方からも、こういう説明受けたんだけど、解釈ほんとこれでいいとか、よく電話が掛かってくる。
    それで公的負担に関しては、もうできたよっていう風な電話があったんですけども、…..複数の先生方の…、正直言いましてそのクリニックから直接かっていうことについては、ちょっと待ってくれって言われてる。
    だから、それまだわからないと、先生待ってくれって言うのはどういうことなんですか?ということをお聞きしました。

    私は、あの穿った(うがった)見方をしていました。経済の方とかご同席するとオリンピックってのは巨額なんだよと、でそういうためにやっぱりこういう汚染国のイメージはつけたくないんだよ、そういう大きな力なのかなって思っていたんです。それは抗いがたいぐらいの大きな巨額な力なのかなって思っていたんですね。

    それで先生方にぶつけました。そしたら「ははははと笑って、そんなね肝が据わったようなことで数をごまかしてまで、そんな肝が据わってるような官僚は今時はいませんと。これはテリトリー扱い、テリトリー争いなんだ。このデータはすごい貴重なんだ。…..衛生研から上がってきたデータを全部感染研ですると、それで「このデータを感染研が全部持っていたい」ということを言っている専門家の、まあ関係のOBが入ると、そこら辺がネックだったんだ。

    ということをおっしゃっておられて、私はその時に思ったのは、是非そういうことはやめていただきたいと、で大谷先生の所で人工呼吸器につながれて確定診断できない人が、そしてこれ広まれば数万人の命ですよね、あのこういう方いっぱいいますから、数万人なのか?すまないのか分かんないと、そもそもこういう数値だったから行政が遅れてきたわけじゃないですか!今ようやく、ここから保険適用でクリニックから行くかもしれませんけど、初動が遅れたっていう感染症の一番の初動だってところは、あれが(PCR検査)少なかったからだと思っています。

    そういう意味ではあの論文がどうだとか、業績がどうだとかっていうことよりも、人命を、本当のところの人命をとっていただきたいという元々の感染研方針に...かえっていただきたいと、でも感染研の人間が全員がそうだとは思っていないですよで感染研の所長なんかは、....尊敬してて、C型肝炎の仕事でノーベル賞貰うんじゃないかと思うぐらいすごい人なんです。だから全員じゃないんです。ただ一部にそういう OB がいるって言うことで人命に関わってくるってのは凄く怖いなってうふうに思っております。

    羽鳥:民間に検査を委託すると、データを集められないと言う事です。

    玉川:野党これ、国会で追及してください。

    一茂:PCR 検査のだ感染研 OBが邪魔してるのが分かった。

    女性コメンテータ:感染実態を掴ませないように政府全体がしていたのではないか?

  • No TP or tissue boxes at the local market - paper towels all sold out, too. There is a rumor going around that it will all be in short supply because the materials will all go into making masks. Not true.

  • E = Fb

    Sometimes life is just NOT FAIR! This equation caused me so much trauma that it made me cry at a music lesson. There is NO NOTE between F and E because it is a half step in itself, so the Fb notation in that Mozart piece made no sense to me whatsoever. If good old Mr. Schiff had just told me instead of getting hysterical... Well, later I discovered that his bark was worse than his bite and he became one of my all time favorites.

  • Contrabass Corona Cancelled

    We have tickets for a contrabass concert on Saturday and I was feeling uneasy about going, but we got a call that it has been cancelled to prevent the spread of the Corona Virus.. We will be getting our money back for the tickets. Not complaining at all.
