Meanwhile In China And Elsewhere

image

Citizens model the latest fashion in Shanghai as reported deaths from the Wuhan virus top 100 per day for the first time.




China is busy spraying entire cities with bleach.

Elsewhere in the world, a highly limited study shows that it may be the case that Chinese people, males especially, have a higher number of ACE2 receptors in their lung tissue than do non-Chinese people. This is the same part of the body through which SARS, a very similar virus, spread some years ago.  Analysis of the case data shows that the two (as of this writing) deaths “outside China” were actually Chinese men. Also, the cases in the UK, France, UAE, and in Finland are also Chinese people. If PC is driving the media to hide, or not even ask, about the ethnic identity of people who are getting sick, then they are doing all of us a great disservice and just spreading panic.

The authors begin by noting that, from an evolutionary perspective, there is every reason to expect there to be ethnic or race differences in the susceptibility to different pathogens. Races—or, as they call them, “ethnic groups”—are breeding populations, long-separated, usually by geography, who are, therefore, genetic clusters adapted to different ecologies. Because they were exposed to different pathogens in prehistory, there are very likely to be race differences in susceptibility to the pathogens and in how well the immune system can fight them.

With the highly endangered poor little pangolin the latest possible strange mammal to be included in the animal to human vector chain, the above author notes how genetic populations (races) that have long practiced farming, animal husbandry, and livestock crossbreeding were far less susceptible to SARS, Swine Flu, and the Spanish Flu back in 1918, while other genetic populations that never really domesticated animals (Maoris in New Zealand, native groups in Canada, the Saami people in Norway and Finland) had a far greater illness and death rate than everyone else. Farming has been around in China since forever, but the recent news has shown that they obviously still consume and use weird wild animals much more than your typical resident of Gary Indiana. Whether or not this is THE connection, A connection, or nothing at all remains to be seen. However, the upshot may be that while the Wuhan virus may spread around the world, it may not be much of a big deal if you aren’t ethnically Chinese. [ of course, the tinfoil hat brigade will run with this, not accepting that there is a difference between random natural happenstance and malicious GMO intent ]

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
