Today Mike Pence evaded a question about whether or not he would take his family to Disney World: “Vice President Mike Pence was asked whether he would take his family to Disney World amid the coronavirus outbreak.” Pence said there have been no limitations on travel issued within the United States of America.

Dr. Anthony Fauci the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases needs to resign. He is telling people that “mitigation” actions like telling people not to attend major political rallies does not need to happen. He doesn’t have the facts because testing hasn’t happened on a scale comparable to testing in South Korea.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is misleading the American people about the Coronavirus SARS-CoV2 and should resign.
A source:
Dr. Anthony Fauci said something to the effect that the travel restrictions from China put America a step ahead of Coronavirus outbreak. That’s false information. America only looks like it is a step ahead in the Coronavirus outbreak because large scale testing isn’t being done and sick people are being turned away for testing. A source:

Importantly Testing has NOT been done on a large scale in the United States (compared to South Korea testing for example). a source:
“South Korea had tested a total of 66,652 people for the COVID-19 coronavirus virus as of 4 p.m. local time Thursday [FEB 27th 2020], whereas Japan had reported administering roughly 1,890 tests and the U.S. only 445.”

Community spread in the US has apparently been happening unnoticed for 6 weeks or more. People have been getting infections that can’t be traced back to Wuhan. People behind denied tests who should be getting tested. We don’t know how bad the situation is, because sick people with Coronavirus symptoms have been turned away for testing.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, based on information he doesn’t have, is giving our politicians the wrong information, and has contributed to making the scale of the outbreak much larger than it needed to be otherwise.

Even if you survive the virus you may lose the ability to breath unconsciously, every breath will need to be forced, you will need to be on a ventilator or an iron lung when you sleep.
“According to the complaints of a survivor, the medical graduate student (24 years old) from Wuhan University, she must stay awake and breathe consciously and actively during the intensive care. She said that if she fell asleep, she might die because she had lost her natural breath.”
“Since SARS-CoV2 may conceal itself in the neurons from the immune recognition, complete clearance of the virus may not be guaranteed even the patients have recovered from the acute infection. In support of this, there is evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is still detectable in some patients during the convalescent period . Therefore, given the probable neuroinvasion the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection may be currently underestimated.”

The Kaplan Meier estimator alone doesn’t give us a real picture of what’s going to happen because to know that we would also need to simulate how people are communicating and reacting to the news. If for example individuals decide to go into isolation and are taking more precautions, that may including washing your hands more often, then real spread should slow down.
We would need to run something like a Linden-mayer system simulation to predict that. If we run these simulations, we might be able to see how the virus spread is going to change when individuals start reacting in a rational way.

An L-system or Lindenmayer system is a parallel rewriting system and a type of formal grammar. An L-system consists of…en.wikipedia.org
That can only happen if the public is getting fast accurate information about how large the problem is, how many tests are being done, how big the community spread might be and what rational people should be doing.
Note: The CoronaVirus could also be spreading via public bathrooms and building ventilation systems, aersolized via flushing & hand dryers, with airborne microscopic feces entering the lungs, mouth, or eyes. How can people react rationally if they don’t have all the facts or if the government is misleading people about the scale of the problem because the government doesn’t know?

However thanks to Dr. Anthony Fauci we don’t have that information. The American public doesn’t know the scale of the problem because the testing isn’t happening at the scale it needs to be happening. The US Government has massively failed the American people.
South Korea is fast tracking new test kits:
“Korea approves 2 more COVID-19 detection kits for urgent use
“The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) has approved two additional detection kits developed by domestic diagnostics companies, SolGent and SD Biosensor, for urgent diagnosis of the novel coronavirus.
“The KCDC said Thursday that it gave the go-ahead to SolGent’s DiaPlexQ Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Detection Kit (DiaPlexQ) and SD Biosensor STANDARD M n-CoV Real-Time Detection Kit for emergency COVID-19 test.”

Some good news about testing in the United States
An article from February 29th: (Essentially FDA is no longer going to stop States, Hospitals, and Medical Professionals from using tests created by experts and institutions) Background: There has not been enough testing in part because the CDC and the FDA wanted to develop a uniform test that everyone would use. Major news channels (reporting on this) in days prior were comparing how much testing was happening in South Korea for example to how much testing was happening in California for example. Sick people have been told they could not get coronavirus tests done in California if they had not recently traveled to China (for example). The reason in part has to do with the limited availability of test kits. This news today could mean that there will be many more sources for test kits available which alleviates the supply chain problems for coronavirus test kits in the United States.

About the author of this page: Micah Blumberg
I’m a neurohacker. I study this topic, neural lace, I have a group focused on it with 2,400 members. Its called Self Aware Networks: Computation Biology: Neural Lace and the idea is that your computational biology is rendering a volumetric video stream, a simulation, when your awake, and that we can tap into that with medical imaging technologies for two way data transmission, downloading what your eyes see, what your ears hear, and bringing AR VR like experiences without glasses via direct brain stimulation. I also have a podcast called the Neural Lace Podcast and I hosted Neurotech SF meetups for two years where I led a team that brought eeg into Webxr. My latest project is a webxr magazine for a news channel I started called Silicon Valley Global News intended to be on the front lines of science and technology. I’ve been self studying biology and computer science related topics for 14 years or so I estimate. Example of my software
