Pets at Risk of Contracting and spreading COVID-19 !

Can house pets transmit the Coronavirus to humans?

Previously detailed investigation had found that SARS was transmitted from civet cats to humans in China in 2002, while MERS was transmitted from dromedary camels to humans in 2012. While the source behind the current COVID-19 has not been identified yet, this does not mean that you can catch the virus from any animal or even from your pet but: Several studies point to that direction… There is no (official) evidence yet that companion animals or pets such as cats and dogs have been infected or could spread the virus that causes CoronaVirus COVID-19 but you should wash your hands every time you touch your pet (WHO).

Wash hands after touching your dog or cat

Dogs, for example, are susceptible to strains of Coronaviruses which include the Canine Respiratory Coronavirus that affects canines and cannot be passed onto humans. Canine Coronaviruses are typically transmitted through dog-to-dog contact such as coughing and sneezing, as well as through poor hygiene when handling bowls, collars, and leashes. The
hands and clothing of people who have handled infected dogs can also be transmitted to a healthy dog.

Although it is likely that an animal source from the live animal market in China was responsible for some of the first reported human infections, there is credible evidence that suggests that our companion animals have the ability to transmit the current COVID-19 strain of virus to us.

Unlike human symptoms, it is hard to detect Coronavirus-related symptoms in dogs. But when they do, you would notice a sudden onset of diarrhoea alongside your dog feeling lethargic and having a poor appetite. Your dog’s diarrhoea may also contain blood or mucus. While it is possible for the symptoms to match a couple of other illnesses, the best thing to do is to always seek clarification from a vet.

Incubation Period CoronaVirus

Wuhan Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Incubation Period

The incubation period (time from exposure to the development of symptoms) of the virus is estimated to be between 3 and 29 days based on the following sources:

  • The World Health Organization (WHO) reported an incubation period for 2019-nCoV between 2 and 10 days.
  • China’s National Health Commission (NHC) had initially estimated an incubation period from 10 to 23 days.
  • The United States’ CDC estimates the incubation period for 2019-nCoV to be between 2 and 21 days.
  • DXY.cn, a leading Chinese online community for physicians and health care professionals, is reporting an incubation period of “3 to 14 days, up to 27 days”.

The estimated range will be most likely narrowed down as more data becomes available.

Incubation period of up to 29 days?

The incubation period has been found to be as long as 24 days (range: 0-24 days; median: 3.0 days) in a study published on February 9.

The WHO said in a press conference on February 10 that:

  • a very long incubation period could reflect a double exposure.
  • 24 days represented an outlier observation that must be taken into consideration in the context of the main finding of the study.
  • WHO is not considering changing recommendations regarding incubation periods.

More recently, however, a case with an incubation period of 23 days was observed in a JAMA study published on Feb. 23., and another case with an incubation period of 29 days was reported by Hubei Province on Feb. 25

Incubation period of 7.2 days on average

A Chinese study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Jan. 30, has found the incubation period to be 7.2 days on average, but it varies greatly among patients. The Chinese team conducting the study said their findings support a 14-day medical observation period for people exposed to the pathogen.

Below is an extract of the study findings:

Among the first 425 patients with confirmed NCIP, the median age was 53 years and 56% were male. The majority of cases (55%) with onset before January 1, 2020, were linked to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, as compared with 8.6% of the subsequent cases.

The mean incubation period was 5.2 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.1 to 7.0), with the 95th percentile of the distribution at 12.5 days.

In its early stages, the epidemic doubled in size every 7.4 days. With a mean serial interval of 7.5 days (95% CI, 5.3 to 19), the basic reproductive number was estimated to be 2.2 (95% CI, 1.4 to 3.9).

Conclusions On the basis of this information, there is evidence that human-to-human transmission has occurred among close contacts since the middle of December 2019. Considerable efforts to reduce transmission will be required to control outbreaks if similar dynamics apply elsewhere. Measures to prevent or reduce transmission should be implemented in populations at risk.

The importance of knowing the incubation period

Understanding the incubation period is very important for health authorities as it allows them to introduce more effective quarantine systems for people suspected of carrying the virus, as a way of controlling and hopefully preventing the spread of the virus.

Comparison with other viruses

For comparison, the incubation period for the common flu (seasonal influenza) is typically around 2 days. Incubation period for other coronaviruses: SARS 2-7 days; MERS 5 days typically (range 2-14 days).

Summary of findings:

  • 2-14 days represents the current official estimated range for the novel coronavirus COVID-19.
  • However, a case with an incubation period of 29 days has been reported by Hubei Province local government on Feb. 22
  • In addition, a case with an incubation period of 23 days was observed in a JAMA study of 5 cases published on Feb. 21.
  • An outlier of a 24 days incubation period had been for the first time observed in a Feb. 9 study. WHO said at the time that this could actually reflect a second exposure rather than a long incubation period, and that it wasn’t going to change its recommendations.
  • Period can vary greatly among patients.
  • Mean incubation period observed:
    3.0 days
    (0 – 24 days range, study based on 1,324 cases)
    7.2 days (4.1 – 7.0 days range, based on 425 cases).
  • Mean incubation period observed in travelers from Wuhan:
    6.4 days
    (range from 2.1 to 11.1 days).

PROPHECIES FOR 2023

WORLD WAR III COULD HAPPEN IN 2023 !

The future of 2023 is gloomy, according to a French astrologer whose prophecies from over 500 years ago have proven disturbingly accurate. Michel de Nostradame!

A time will come when Russia will be torn apart. First they will split her up, then they will start to plunder her wealth. The West will in every way try to further Russia’s destruction and hand over her eastern part to China. The Far East will fall into the hands of the Japanese. Siberia will fall to the Chinese, who will start to settle in Russia, marry Russians and eventually, through cunning and craft, occupy all Siberia as far as the Urals. When China tries to go further, the West will oppose it. Read The Full Article

DAMASCUS WILL BE DESTROYED BEFORE THE END OF TIME !

End Time Prophecies Foretell The Destruction Of Damascus Alamongordo - www.alamongordo.com

Syria is almost a ‘city-state’ with much of its population living in and around the city of Damascus. Some historians and archaeologists believe Damascus may be the oldest continually inhabited city in the world and there is no record in ancient history of it ever being fully destroyed. Syria is also the home of many Islamic terrorist groups and its army invaded and has occupied Lebanon for almost 30 years. Currently, Syria (with Iran) is supporting the Hezbollah in southern Lebanon against Israel. Syria, like the rest of Israel’s Islamic neighbors hate Israel, have invaded and attacked Israel on several occasions, and have publicly called for the destruction of Israel. It is interesting to note that recently an Israeli general, on commenting on the growing threat of Syria, said the easiest thing to do to protect Israel from Syria would be to drop a nuclear bomb on Damascus.

ARE WE ON THE BRINK OF WORLD WAR III ?

The rumors of wars has certainly begun as we have more and more political figures either stating WW3 is just around the corner or is already here. Has World War III already begun? WWI began with an assassination, WWII began with Hitler’s invasion of Poland. But WWIII could certainly start differently.

POPE FRANCIS I ELECTED “LAST POPE” ACCORDING ST-MALACHY !

Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on 17 December 1936) is the 266th and current / last pope of the Catholic Church since March 13, 2013. A native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, he was ordained as a priest in 1969. In 1998 he became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, and in 2001 a cardinal. Elected as pope in 2013 following his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation, Bergoglio chose “Francis” as his name. This marked the first time in papal history that this name had been used, and along with Pope John Paul I is one of only two times since Pope Lando’s brief 913 reign that a serving pope held a name unused by a predecessor. He is both the first Jesuit priest and the first native of the Americas to be elected Pope. He is also the first non-European pope since the 8th century….. Read the popes prophecy of St Malachy

End of the world: The Bible !

Bible passage on ‘locust plague and epidemic’ sparks shock claim

THE END OF THE WORLD is upon us, according to wild claims online sparked by a Bible passage that has gone viral. The passage is featured in the Book of Chronicles, a Hebrew prose of text featured in the Old Testament. It contains a story from Adam, some teachings from Jesus and a narrative of the history of ancient Judah and Israel until the proclamation of King Cyrus the Great. But, according to claims online, it also prophesied current events leading to the end of the world.

Biblical Prophecies and Predictions for the Future - http://Alamongordo.com

The passage being shared online reads: “Whenever I hold back the rain or send locusts to eat up the crops or send an epidemic on my people, if they pray to me and repent and turn away from the evil they have been doing, then I will hear them in heaven, forgive their sins, and make their land prosperous again. “I will watch over this temple and be ready to hear all the prayers that are offered here.”

According to claims, this extract is referring to the coronavirus / Covid-19, the current locust plague and the Australian wildfires which are still being contained in some areas. On Monday, American artist Jeffrey Williams, known as Young Thug, shared the passage with his seven million followers on Instagram, with the message: “Pay attention children,” sparking thousands of comments.

One response reads: “He held back rain in Australia, the locusts are eating up Africa, now the epidemic is the coronavirus, we living in our last days.” Another added: “We’ve got to pray for better times.” And a third claimed: “Welcome to Revelation.”

The same passage has also been shared countless times on Twitter, with users making reference to the same three recent events. Currently, COVID-19 is a pandemic that has infected more than 1.400.000 tested people worldwide (around 50.000.000 people in total, including the non-tested) , amounting to 75.000 deaths.

Meanwhile, a plague of locusts which has ravaged through East Africa is set to descend on the Middle East in time for Passover. Last year, the world watched in horror when hundreds of fires burned through Australia enhanced by extended drought.But, there is no reason to fear just yet, according to Jeff Kinley, a biblical author, who says there will be many more signs before the Second Coming.This week, Mr Kinley pointed to Revelation 6:8, which forecasts deaths all over the globe “by sword, famine and plague”.

Rev6:8 – And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.

He also added Jesus’ words about the events before the end times in Luke 21:11: “There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.” Mr Kinley concluded: “I think he’s referring to a future time, I don’t think this is an actual fulfilment of that.”

He added that the Bible is very specific about what will happen before the End Times. One major event, for example, is the ancient temple in Jerusalem is supposed to be rebuilt first. COVID-19 is “increasing the intensity and frequency” of events prophesied in the Bible, which will lead to the end of the world, Christian pastors have claimed.

More than 70,000 people have died from the deadly COVID-19 virus and almost 1.000.000.000 affected worldwide, in what the World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared a pandemic. Yesterday saw the worst day in the stock market for 30 years, following a stand-off between Saudi Arabia and Russia over oil prices, in the wake of panic brought on by the virus outbreak. As many countries go into lockdown, Christian pastors Marko Kiroglu and Mark Osborne say these are just some of the signs prophesied in the Bible that Jesus Christ will return.

Speaking on YouTube channel Countdowntochrist this week, Mr Osborne said: “If you turn to Matthew 24 and start at verse four, Jesus is talking to his disciples and they want to know when the end is going to happen. “So Jesus starts giving some signs – and we must be careful because he’s talking about his Second Coming. “He starts by saying ’you will hear of wars and rumours of wars’ are we not hearing that?”

He added: “There is so much tension between nations – China and the US, Saudi Arabia and Russia, Turkey and Syria – so all these wars and rumours.

“But, it is more specific than that – ‘see that you are not alarmed for this must take place, but the end is not yet, for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there will be pestilence and earthquakes’. “What did the World Health Organisation say about the coronavirus?” Mr Kiroglu answered: “Yesterday, the World Health Organisation declared it to be a pandemic.”

Mr Osborne explained the idea of the Second Coming being like giving birth, that the signs would intensify and become more frequent. He added: “All these are the beginnings of birth pains. “There have always been wars, there have always been pestilences, but it seems as though they are getting out of hand – more and more frequent. “It seems more and more intense, like birth pains.” Mr Kiroglu then went on to put this idea into the context of rumours of wars around the world.

He said:  “The other thing is that look at the last couple of weeks, the entire world economy is crumbling into pieces because of wars, China, Russia and Saudi Arabia are fighting over the oil price.

“Sanctions nations are putting against each other, the building of armament is costing billions too. “These are all increasing in intensity and frequency.” Mr Osborne does not think the coronavirus will mark the Second Coming though, instead, he says it is just the start of the End Times. He continued: “I believe, in the midst of all that, is this pestilence – The coronavirus / COVID-19 – is part of the sign of the End Times.

“There have always been these things [pandemics], but it seems to be coming on more and more frequently, and more intense. “It’s pointing to the coming of Jesus. “The question is whether we should be fearful of the coronavirus, or live perfect. “My view is, be careful, don’t be silly, but don’t be afraid of it, because the virus is not the end, it is just the BEGINNING.”

War Rumors

“Jesus answered and said to them . . . ‘And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” (Matthew 24:6-7)

War and rumors of War

 

Traditional Middle East rivals Iran and Turkey have found themselves united of late by their mutual opposition to Kurdish independence in Iraq and common interest in ending the six-year war in Syria, among other leading issues in the region. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke Sunday by phone, expressing major concerns a day before voting opened in the northern Kurdish autonomous region of neighboring Iraq. Monday’s referendum, in which the region’s residents are largely expected to ask for full independence from Baghdad, has been met with widespread criticism from Iraq’s central government, as well as from Iran and Turkey, which have battled insurgencies from their own local Kurdish populations and have taken countermeasures to quell potential instability the vote could bring.

War with N-Korea to start soon ? U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on Sunday the U.N. Security Council has run out of options on containing North Korea’s nuclear program and the United States may have to turn the matter over to the Pentagon.

At least 36 people have died in Egypt after blasts targeted Coptic Christians on Palm Sunday. The attack is just the latest strike in the war on Christians in the Middle East. As Jonathan Sacks observed: ‘until recently, Christians represented 20 percent of the population of the Middle East; today, 4 percent’.

Sweden is reportedly preparing hundreds of nuclear war shelters to prepare for a potential attack from Russia amid growing concerns in the Baltics.

Supporters of NATO believe American, British and German soldiers being sent to Russia’s borders is “defensive.” But the Kremlin’s counter moves are aggressive. This delusion could be dangerous.

Recent Russian naval activity in Europe exceeds levels seen during the Cold War, a top U.S. and NATO military officer said, voicing concern that the distributed nature of the deployments could end up “splitting and distracting” the transatlantic alliance.

“Jesus answered and said to them . . . ‘And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars’. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:6-7)

Now as He (Jesus-Yeshua) sat on the Mount of Olives (in Israel), the disciples came to Him privately, saying, ‘Tell us, when will these things be?’ And ‘What will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the Age?’ (Matthew 24:3)
