Anthrax atau covid 19 yg membunuh begitu ramai org di merika lani ?

blastoff

Simptom covid 19 SAMA dgn simptom Anthrax ........tengok kat bawah ni ......


so adakah yg kat amerika mati berjutaan tu sebenarnya depa diserang oleh biological warfare dlm bentuk penggunaan Anthrax tapi covid 19 dijadikan scapegoat agar semua tak sedar ia adalah satu bentuk peperangan biologi sebenarnya ? Jeng jeng jeng....

Sebab tu la ada negara kematian tinggi kaw kaw ada negara yg 80 percent tak tunjuk simptom punggg ....sebab yg tak tunjuk simptom tu atau yg simptom ringan je tu covid ler.... tapi yg kronik adalah anthrax ....kat mana depa di dedahkan pada anthrax ? Kat spital ler ketika depa di wad . Oleh doktor2 pakar kaki rasuah ler yg jadi talibarut negara yg lancarkan peperangan tuh.

Anthrax gak boleh di buat dlm bentuk cecair tak berwarna , tapi ia tak sestabil mcm dlm bentuk spora, jadi ia perlu di simpan sama macam vaksin di simpan ler kekdahnya guna dry ice segala.....


So kalau talibarut nak masukkan dlm botol vaksin tu cecair anthrax , sapa nak boleh kesan sebab botol2 vaksin bukan di check dulu kandungan nya betul2 sebelum di guna sebaliknya truih tolak jarum cucuk je directly dari botol2 tuh kekdahnyaa.


Dek kerana simptom sama mcm covid 19 .... maka covid lah yg akan dipersalahkan dan vaksin di anggap cuma tak berkesan je utk lawan virus dlm badan.

Symptoms

                                                

The symptoms of anthrax depend on the type of infection and can take anywhere from 1 day to more than 2 months to appear.  All types of anthrax have the potential, if untreated, to spread throughout the body and cause severe illness and even death.

Cutaneous anthrax symptoms can include:


• A group of small blisters or bumps that may itch
• Swelling can occur around the sore
• A painless skin sore (ulcer) with a black center that appears after the small blisters or bumps
  
  • Most often the sore will be on the face, neck, arms, or hands
    



Inhalation anthrax symptoms can include:

• Fever and chills
• Chest Discomfort
• Shortness of breath
• Confusion or dizziness
• Cough
• Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pains
• Headache
• Sweats (often drenching)
• Extreme tiredness
• Body aches
  
  


Gastrointestinal anthrax symptoms can include:

• Fever and chills
• Swelling of neck or neck glands
• Sore throat
• Painful swallowing
• Hoarseness
• Nausea and vomiting, especially bloody vomiting
• Diarrhea or bloody diarrhea
• Headache
• Flushing (red face) and red eyes
• Stomach pain
• Fainting
• Swelling of abdomen (stomach)
  
  
Injection anthrax symptoms can include:

• Fever and chills
• A group of small blisters or bumps that may itch, appearing where the drug was injected
• A painless skin sore with a black center that appears after the blisters or bumps
• Swelling around the sore
• Abscesses deep under the skin or in the muscle where the drug was injected
  
To Keep in Mind
Injection anthrax symptoms are similar to those of cutaneous anthrax, but injection anthrax can spread throughout the body faster and be harder to recognize and treat than cutaneous anthrax. Skin and injection site infections associated with injection drug use are common and do not necessarily mean the person has anthrax.
CDC guidance and case definitions are available to help doctors diagnose anthrax

Types of Anthrax                                        Español (Spanish)


The type of illness a person develops depends on how anthrax enters the body. Typically, anthrax gets into the body through the skin, lungs, or gastrointestinal system. All types of anthrax can eventually spread throughout the body and cause death if they are not treated with antibiotics.


Cutaneous




Gastrointestinal




Inhalation




Injection
Injection








Quick Facts
Cutaneous:
Most common form of anthrax infection, and is considered to be the least dangerous.
Infection usually develops from 1 to 7 days after exposure.
Inhalation:
Inhalation anthrax is considered to be the most deadly form of anthrax.
Infection usually develops within a week after exposure, but it can take up to 2 months
Gastointestinal:
Gastrointestinal anthrax has rarely been reported in the United States.
Infection usually develops from 1 to 7 days after exposure.
Injection:
This type of infection has never been reported in the United States.

Why Would Anthrax Be Used as a Weapon?If a bioterrorist attack were to happen, Bacillus anthracis, the bacteria that causes anthrax, would be one of the biological agents most likely to be used. Biological agents are germs that can sicken or kill people, livestock, or crops. Anthrax is one of the most likely agents to be used because:

• Anthrax spores are easily found in nature, can be produced in a lab, and can last for a long time in the environment.
• Anthrax makes a good weapon because it can be released quietly and without anyone knowing. The microscopic spores could be put into powders, sprays, food, and water. Because they are so small, you may not be able to see, smell, or taste them.
• Anthrax has been used as a weapon before.
  

Anthrax has been used as a weapon around the world for nearly a century. In 2001, powdered anthrax spores were deliberately put into letters that were mailed through the U.S. postal system. Twenty-two people, including 12 mail handlers, got anthrax, and five of these 22 people died.

CA COVID update: ICU capacity drops to 0% in Southern California as state reports 379 new deaths, shattering record

In Los Angeles County alone, about two people are dying every hour on average from the coronavirus.
By Sid Garcia

Friday, December 18, 2020 9:43AM

The ICU capacity in the 11-county Southern California region has dropped to 0% amid a dramatic surge in coronavirus cases, officials said.


SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (KABC) -- The ICU capacity in the 11-county Southern California region has dropped to 0% amid a dramatic surge in coronavirus cases, officials said Thursday.

California hospitals are required to report the total number of all available staffed ICU beds each day. Regional ICU capacity is calculated by subtracting neonatal and pediatric intensive care beds from the number of adult beds.

News of the diminished ICU capacity came as the state announced the deaths of 379 Californians, marking the highest number of fatalities in one day since the pandemic began and surpassing the previous record set the previous day.

New California COVID cases today
The state reported another 52,281 new cases of the virus, just 1,400 cases less than what California saw the day prior.

If California were a country, here's how it would rank based on Johns Hopkins' COVID-19 Daily Case Counts for Dec. 16:

1) USA 247,403
2) Brazil 70,574
3) California 53,711
4) UK 25,161

5) India 24,010
6) France 17,720
7) Italy 17,568

2 people on average dying of COVID every hour in LA County with hospitals 'under siege' amid surge


Los Angeles County health officials are feeling the pressure Thursday in the wake of Wednesday's record-breaking numbers of virus deaths, cases and hospitalizations that have the emergency medical system "under siege.''


The 379 deaths are equivalent to a life lost every four minutes in a 24-hour span.

LA County COVID death toll rising
In Los Angeles County, about two people are dying every hour on average from the virus, something the county's public health officer called an "explosive and very deadly surge."

At Methodist Hospital in Arcadia on Thursday, frontline medical workers were among the latest to receive the COVID vaccination.

"We've had this huge surge, because of the thanksgiving holiday and people getting together. There's no other explanation for the surge," said Dr. Bala Chandrasekhar, the hospital's chief medical officer. "And so please don't repeat the something at Christmas time. Because if you get sick there will be longer wait times and there may not be an ICE bed for you because of staffing or because of no ICU bed. We may not even have beds available for non-ICU patients. "

According to the latest Los Angeles County data, 4,656 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Wednesday. That number has increased by nearly 1,000 in less than a week.

"If they need to be admitted we will keep them in the emergency room until a bed is available," Chandrasekhar said. "We are talking to all of our physicians to do early discharges for patients who can go home and get them out early in the morning so we can move them from the emergency room the the med surge rooms upstairs."

Even if hospitals add more ICU beds, most don't have the extra staff to help with the surge of patients.

stiap 4 minit mati kat los angeles sepanjang 24 jam.... mak aihhh..... ada negara yg tak jadi apa mcm kat negara china tuh aman damai je walau ada virus covid ....ada negara yg 80% tak tunjuk simptom langsung sihat walafiat je mcm kat malaysia ....so tak logik lah yg di amerika tu covid 19.

Covid 19 dan Anthrax muncul serentak masaalahnya jadi semua tak perasan yg kematian2 ramai sesgt tuh kat merika kerana Anthrax.... semua dok ingat covid 19 termasuk kerajaan dan para penduduk merika sundrik ...sebab tu sapa tak peduli nak check betoi2 kehadiran anthrax dlm badan yg mati tu semua...

melihatkan dari cara pengkebumian yg kena pakai PPE , boh tanda bahaya, HAZMAT pun hadir yg bukan di buat di malaysia je tapi gak di merika...... nampak mcm betul2 nak cuba bendung Anthrax je kekdahnyaaa.

satu lagi.... dek kerana wujud pemalsuan result covid 19.....tak mustahil 80% yg tak bergejala tu adalah hasil dokumen palsu je manyak..... sementara yg simptom ringan yg betul2 covid 19...yg kronik lalu mati kerana anthrax....

Kematian kat US so far .....317929

Tapi yg mati kerana Anthrax mesti ada infection kat paru2 lah kalau nak sampai tahap kronik ....

so dlm kesemua kematian tu yg betul2 ada infection hingga paru2 banyak mana, dan yg mati kerana penyakit2 kronik lain siap2 dah dlm badan plak banyak mana  ...

semua tu tak di ketahui ler sebab dah bercampur2 di lumsumkan sekali gitu .

Cuma yg ketara adalah kematian berlaku kat wad di hospital tak di buat autopsy ..... ini betul2 pelik tapi cara mudah utk tutup kewujudan anthrax dlm badan simati ler jawabnyaa, no wonder sapa tak leh tau selama ni .

hanya kematian siap2 dlm rumah sundrik je kalau bawak kehospital akan di buat autopsy.... ye lorr mana ada anthrax dlm rumah sundrik plak, tu yg di buat autopsy tuh, sebab takkan jumpa lah anthrax dlm badan diselidik tahap gaban sekali pun....

sebab tu apabila sebut kematian covid je mesti akan dinyatakan sejarah penyakit yg dah siap2 ada je, bagi yg tarak sejarah penyakit akan di boh dash je tanda tak di ketahui punca, sebab tak buat autopsy nak tahu sebab punca kematian lagu mana.


Yg buat dasar gitu dimemana negara , si pembuat dasar tu lah yg kaki rasuah yg dah berkomplot dgn kerajaan yg lancarkan perang bio tu , talibarut lah tu.

Ni bukti autopsy tak di buat utk kematian di wad di malaysia. Hanya yg dah mati di bawak ke hospital baru lah di buat, itu pun tengok kes... kalau dah dikenalpasti punca kematian maka tak di buat lah.

bagi yg tak dimasukkan ke wad... apa cara lagi nak cucuk anthrax dlm badan melainkan guna "vaksin" je laa. Sebab kandungan vaksin tak dapat di check satu persatu botol2 yg jutaan tuh ...........

What to know about anthrax

• What is anthrax?
• Causes
• Symptoms
• Tests and diagnosis
• Treatment
• Prevention
  

Anthrax is caused by infection with Bacillus anthracis, a hardy, spore-forming bacterium that can survive in extreme conditions for a long time. The bacterium is highly toxic.

Anthrax infection is rare in the United States, but not uncommon elsewhere.
Anthrax is common in livestock, and a potentially serious infectious disease in humans. The spores occur naturally in soil, but anthrax only becomes active when it enters the body.

Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) gained notoriety as a biological weapon in the 2001 in the United States (U.S.), when anthrax powder was mailed in packages, leading to 22 cases of infection, including 5 fatalities.

However, the disease is not unusual in the agricultural regions of the Caribbean, central and southwestern Asia, Central and South America, southern and eastern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. How dangerous it is depends on the type.
It is rare in the U.S., but outbreaks occur very occasionally in grazing animals such as deer. It is more likely in countries that do not routinely vaccinate animals against the disease.
It cannot pass from one human to another.

Fast facts on anthrax:Here are some key points about anthrax. More detail is in the main article.

• Anthrax is a potentially fatal bacterial infection that is rare in the U.S. but more common elsewhere.
• There are four types, depending on how it is transmitted.
• Anthrax can be spread through animals and animal products.
• Treatment is with antibiotics, which must be started soon after infection.
• There is a possibility that anthrax could be used as a biological weapon.
• A vaccine exists for people who are at risk, but not for the general public
  

What is anthrax?
B. anthracis bacteria produce resilient spores that can cause a potentially deadly infection in people and animals.
There are four different forms of anthrax infection:

• cutaneous
• inhalation
• gastrointestinal
• injection
  

Each type is caused by the B. anthracis bacteria entering the human body in a different way. Each route of entry leads to a unique set of symptoms.

Causes
Anthrax infection happens when the bacterium B. anthracis enters the body through inhaling, swallowing, injecting, or through skin contact.
Anthrax spores are resistant to many environmental stresses and normally lie dormant. If they enter the body of a person or an animal, they can develop into active growing cells, due to the presence of water, sugars, and other nutrients.

Once active, the bacteria multiply throughout the body, creating toxins that can cause severe illness.

Anthrax consists of three proteins. None of these proteins is toxic on its own, but combined, they can make a lethal mix, disrupting cellular signaling pathways and stopping cells from working properly, shutting down the host’s immune system, and leading to death.
The most common form of anthrax, cutaneous anthrax, mostly spreads through contact with contaminated animal products such as hides and hair. People have developed anthrax after using the hides of infected animals to make traditional African drums.

Bioterrorism

If a person deliberately releases a virus or bacteria that can lead to sickness or death, this is known as a biological attack.

Anthrax could be used as a bioterror weapon because it is easy to produce.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), if a biological attack were to occur, the anthrax bacteria is “one of the most likely agents.”

There are several reasons for this, for example:

• anthrax is easy to find in nature and easy to grow in labs
• an attack would be hard to detect
• it has previously been used as a weapon
  

Federal agencies and health departments in the U.S. work together to ensure preparedness for such an event. However, they would not know it had happened until a pattern of infection emerged. This is because it is rare, symptoms take a while to show, and they are also similar to symptoms of other conditions, such as flu.


Symptoms
Each form of anthrax has its own range of symptoms. For most forms, the symptoms appear within a week of exposure to B. anthracis, but the symptoms of inhalation anthrax can take over a month to develop.

Cutaneous anthrax

The most common form of anthrax is cutaneous anthrax.

The symptoms are as follows:

• small itchy blisters or bumps
• a painless swollen sore with a black center
• swelling in nearby lymph glands and tissue
  

This is considered the mildest form. With treatment, it is rarely deadly. Without treatment, it may be fatal in 20 percent of cases.

Gastrointestinal anthrax

This can come from eating raw or undercooked meat from an infected animal.
The symptoms of gastrointestinal anthrax are:

• abdominal pain and swelling
• diarrhea
• fainting
• fever and chills
• flushing face and red eyes
• headache
• loss of appetite
• nausea and vomiting
• sore throat with painful swallowing
• swelling of neck and neck glands
  

Without treatment, half of patients die, but with treatment, 60 percent will survive.

Inhalation anthrax
The initial symptoms of inhalation anthrax are:

• chest discomfort
• coughing up blood
• nausea and vomiting
• pain when swallowing
• flu-like symptoms
  

As the disease progresses, the individual is likely to experience:

• breathing difficulties
• low oxygen in blood
• meningitis
• shock
  

This is the most deadly kind of anthrax. Without treatment, it is fatal in 85 to 90 percent of cases.

Injection anthrax

This has affected people who inject heroin in Europe, but it has not been reported in the U.S.

The initial symptoms of injection anthrax are:

• abscesses in and around the injection site
• blisters and bumps around the injection site
• fever
• a swollen sore near the injection site
  
  

As the disease progresses, the following may develop:

• meningitis
• organ failure
• shock
  
  

The effects probably depend on how deep they are, but symptoms can also be confused with those of other infections.

Tests and diagnosis
Anthrax shares many symptoms with more common conditions, such as flu and pneumonia. A health care provider will rule these out first before considering anthrax, unless there is a specific reason to suspect it.

If other conditions are ruled out, then tests specific to anthrax may follow.

An anthrax diagnosis can only be confirmed by measuring antibodies or toxins in the blood or other tissue. The type of tissue sample and other types of test will depend on the suspected form of anthrax.
Tests include:

• a skin biopsy to test for cutaneous anthrax
• stool testing for gastrointestinal anthrax
• chest x-rays or CT scans to detect inhalation anthrax
• lumbar punctures to reveal anthrax meningitis
  

In 2014, researchers researchers that a “glow test” can detect the presence of deadly anthrax bacteria in hours instead of days. This could significantly cut the time it takes to respond to a potential bioterrorism attack.

Treatment
Anthrax must be treated as quickly as possible, before the levels of toxins and harmful bacteria within the body become too high for drugs to eliminate.
The standard treatment for anthrax is with antibiotics and antitoxins. The type of antibiotics will depend on how the infection occurred, the individual’s age and medical history.

Antitoxin therapies are currently being developed that target the toxins released by B. anthracis, rather than the bacteria themselves.

Recently, surgical removal of infected tissue has been used successfully to treat injection anthrax.
In 2013, a team of researchers discovered a new chemical compound from the sea that could be used to treat anthrax and MRSA.


Prevention


Tips for avoiding anthrax include:

• only eating meat that has been suitably slaughtered and cooked
• avoiding contact with raw animal hides, especially those of cows, sheep, and goats
  

People who work with fur, hides, and wool, especially if these are imported, should take extra care.


Anthrax molecules are made up of three proteins, none of which is toxic on its own. It can be present in imported animal products.
If anyone is exposed to the bacteria, antibiotics can prevent the symptoms of anthrax from developing before the B. anthracis spores have time to activate.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved a vaccine for anthrax, to be used prior to exposure by adults who could be at risk.

These include laboratory workers, handlers of animals and animal products, and some military personnel. It is not available to the public.
The vaccine can also be given after exposure, alongside antimicrobial therapy.
Anthrax remains rare in the U.S. If a person has symptoms that resemble anthrax, it is most likely a more common illness.
If a person shows signs and symptoms after exposure to animals or animal products from parts of the world where anthrax is common, however, it is best to contact a health care provider.
To be effective, treatment for anthrax must begin as soon as possible.

Info nih paling2 penting ...........dek kerana anthrax dlm bentuk liquid yg di cucuk ke dlm badan simptom sama dgn flu dan pneumonia ......the fact that senang nak berlaku kekeliruan dgn jangkitan2 penyakit lain gitu .... di tambah dgn awal2 lagi semua hospital di seluruh dunia dah siap2 dok sangka covid je penyebab infeksi ,

bermakna automatik takkan dapat di kesan ler anthrax yg di cucuk ke dlm badan ....period ....sebab semua hospital protokolnya akan rule out penyakit lain dulu so kalau dah last sekali baru nak syak anthrax bermakna covid le dulu akan di utamakan sebagai punca infeksi kat memana punggg.

Tapi dek kerana dlm bentuk liquid payah nak stabil perlu di simpan cara yg kompleks dan teliti kaw kaw yg hanya hospital2 je boleh provide kemudahan gitu ... maka kalau kat wad di edarkan botol2 anthrax tapi dilabelkan sebagai vaksin atau ubat ke...nescaya nak cucuk ke pesakit di wad anytime tak sapa akan sedar ler.

The effects probably depend on how deep they are, but symptoms can also be confused with those of other infections.

Tests and diagnosis
Anthrax shares many symptoms with more common conditions, such as flu and pneumonia. A health care provider will rule these out first before considering anthrax, unless there is a specific reason to suspect it.

If other conditions are ruled out, then tests specific to anthrax may follow.

maaf bro.  aku hanya mengingatkan sesama kita saja.

aku perlu ingatkan ler mudah2an tak de lah kes mati berjemaah ratus ribu kat dlm wad2 di malaysia nih mcm kat us tu.... yg aku dok sebar nih pun peringatan gak laaa.

tapi kalau pembunuhan guna anthrax involve talibarut peringkat tertinggi dlm negara US , nescaya akan berlaku cover up kaw kaw ler oleh si talibarut tuh dan jugak oleh negara yg buat serangan tuh .... dlm bentuk tak buat autopsy , dan kalau yg di buat pun autopsi bukan ke atas mayat yg di cucuk ler lalu itu dijadikan bukti yg Anthrax tak wujud kekdahnyaaa.... so lagi hebat jadinya tindakan penyembunyian kewujudan senjata bio tuh jawabnya laa yg bakal berlaku .
