 A Pomeranian dog has tested positive for the coronavirus after contracting the disease from its owner

THE PET dog of a coronavirus patient has tested positive for the deadly disease.

The owner of the dog, Yvonne Chow Hau Yee, who lives in Hong Kong with her beloved Pomeranian, tested her pet pooch after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

The dog has been quarantined by officials, suggesting they have concerns that the pet could pass on the disease.

If confirmed, the Pomeranian would mark the first case of coronavirus in a pet animal, as infected numbers topped 82,000 worldwide.

The pooch was collected from its owner’s home on Wednesday, after the woman was diagnosed with COVID-19 and placed in a hospital isolation ward.

A department spokesperson confirmed the Pomeranian’s “nasal and oral cavity samples were tested weak positive to COVID-19 virus,” however did not explain why they tested the animal in the first place.

The spokesperson added: “At present, the AFCD [Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department] does not…

COVID-19/Coronavirus ‘Far More Likely To Bond To Human Cells’ Thanks to HIV-Like Mutation

The new coronavirus has an HIV-like mutation that means its ability to bind with human cells could be up to 1,000 times as strong as the Sars virus, according to new research by scientists in China and Europe.

The discovery could help to explain not only how the infection has spread but also where it came from and how best to fight it.

Scientists showed that Sars (severe acute respiratory syndrome) entered the human body by binding with a receptor protein called ACE2 on a cell membrane. And some early studies suggested that the new coronavirus, which shares about 80 per cent of the genetic structure of Sars, might follow a similar path.

But the ACE2 protein does not exist in large quantities in healthy people, and this partly helped to limit the scale of the Sars outbreak of 2002-03, in which infected about 8,000 people around the world.

Eyes To See: 10 Plagues Hitting Earth Simultaneously

Jasper and Sardine

All of a sudden, really crazy things are starting to happen all over the world.  Giant swarms of locusts are absolutely devastating entire regions, extremely unusual storms are confounding meteorologists, earthquake and volcanic activity are both on the rise, and five very dangerous diseases are sweeping across the globe.  So far in 2020, it has just been one thing after another, and many are speculating about what could be ahead if events continue to escalate.  The other day my wife mentioned that one of her friends suggested that I should put together a list of all the weird stuff that has been taking place, and so that is what I have decided to do.  The following is a list of 10 plagues that are hitting our planet simultaneously…

Can’t Keep Up: China Ships 40 Incinerators To Wuhan

Jasper and Sardine

Chinese media reports that the furnaces have been shipped to the city amid ongoing fears the death toll is being covered up.

NTD reports that the cabins are for the disposal of animal carcasses, while China Ship news reports the incinerators are for medical waste.

Wuhan has been at the centre of the global epidemic which has infected more than 75,000 people and killed more than 2,000.

It is believed the virus spread from bats to other animals in the so-called “wet markets” in the city before being passed to humans.

Sources quoted in Chinese media raise questions over whether or not the incinerators are for animals, or will be used to dispose of human remains.

The mobile incinerators can reportedly destroy up to five tons of waste every single day – and can burn its load in as little as two seconds.

Hundreds of dead birds fell from the sky as reported by a driver on the C-31b highway in Catalonia.

Environmentalists speak from a chemical leak in the atmosphere or mass poisoning as residents also reported a strong chemical smells in the air during the mass die-off. What about 5G?

Once in a while, animals fall from the sky. It may be fish and other sea organisms in a coastal city and even meat in the U.S.. But most of the time, we are assisting to mass bird die-offs due to increasing air pollution, chemical spraying and new technologies such as 5G.

The latest massive bird kill occurred on the C-31b highway in Tarragona in Catalonia, where a local resident aboard his car was able to record what happened to be hundreds of dead birds, that had fell from the sky, covering the road.

Chinese Report Concludes ‘COVID-19 Probably Created In The Biolab 300 Yards From Wuhan Market’

Jasper and Sardine

'The WHCDC was also adjacent to the Union Hospital (Figure 1, bottom) where the first group of doctors were infected during this epidemic.' The report says.

Chinese scientists believe the deadly coronavirus may have started life in a research facility just 300 yards from the Wuhan fish market.

A new bombshell paper from the Beijing-sponsored South China University of Technology says that the Wuhan Center for Disease Control (WHCDC) could have spawned the contagion in Hubei province.

‘The possible origins of 2019-nCoV coronavirus,’ penned by scholars Botao Xiao and Lei Xiao claims the WHCDC kept disease-ridden animals in laboratories, including 605 bats.

It also mentions that bats – which are linked to coronavirus – once attacked a researcher and ‘blood of bat was on his skin.’

The report says: ‘Genome sequences from patients were 96% or 89% identical to the Bat CoV ZC45 coronavirus originally found in Rhinolophus affinis (intermediate horseshoe bat).’

It describes how the only native bats are found around 600 miles away from the Wuhan seafood market and that the probability of bats flying from Yunnan…

China Detains Activist Who Accused Xi of Coronavirus Cover-Up

He portrayed China’s leader, Xi Jinping, as hungry for power. He accused Mr. Xi of trying to cover up the coronavirus outbreak in central China. In one of his most daring writings, he urged Mr. Xi to resign, saying, “You’re just not smart enough.”

Then, over the weekend, Xu Zhiyong, a prominent Chinese legal activist, went silent. The authorities in the southern city of Guangzhou detained him on Saturday, according to Mr. Xu’s friends, after he spent nearly two months in hiding. His girlfriend, Li Qiaochu, a social activist, went missing on Sunday, Mr. Xu’s friends said.

The activist is the latest critic to be caught up in Mr. Xi’s far-reaching efforts to limit dissent in China. The crackdown, which has ensnared scores of activists, lawyers, journalists and intellectuals, is likely to intensify as the ruling Communist Party comes under broad attack for its handling of the coronavirus outbreak
