I am sure by now that the most news that you care about for the past week is about the spreading coronavirus pandemic in China and the rest of the world. Being a Chinese, it is needless to say that I am very much concerned. There is a large population of ethical Chinese living in Greater Toronto Area and I attend a Chinese church composed of 90% mainland Chinese Christians.
All of a sudden, as the number of confirmed cases and death roll rise, the feeling of being infected and die never feel so real. Of course, it doesn’t help with the fact that many Chinese had already escaped to different countries before WHO has declared a public health emergency and airlines have suspended flight to and from China.
There are certain aspects of this virus that I want to share with the readers.
- Is it possible that this coronavirus is a man-made biological weapon that was accidentally leaked or sabotaged?
I admit that some Chinese have unusual eating habits that I can never fathom. The official story states that the virus was first appeared from bats (as in bat soup) in a wet market in Wuhan, China. However, I know that Chinese have been eating all kinds of wild creatures for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Why now?
There are reports from several news outlets (banished from mainstream media) stating that this virus was developed in a level-4 biohazard lab in Wuhan:
- Is This The Man Behind The Global Coronavirus Pandemic?
- Coronavirus Contains “HIV Insertions”
- PROOF: The “Novel Coronavirus” Infecting the World is a MILITARY BIO-WEAPON Developed by China’s Army
- Senator Tom Cotton Shreds China’s Official Virus Story, Warns Of “Super Laboratory” Proximity
Personally I think there is a high probability that this virus was designed as a bio-weapon. Why would the government quarantine 50 million people in 16 cities during the most important Chinese festival (Chinese New Year). If this is just some slightly contagious seasonal flu that has killed 300 so far (I don’t trust this number), why implement extreme measures?
I think the Chinese officials knew very well that this is a killer virus designed by their own scientists. The high incubation period and the ability to infect other people without the carrier showing any symptoms is not normal. Chinese government is most concern about its economy in order to stay in control; and now they are willing to shut down the factories, transit and commerce? They know that the seriousness of disastrous damage this virus could inflict on the whole nation if it cannot be contained (sadly it might be too late at this stage).
2. Masks are mostly sold out everywhere, including GTA.
I cannot believe my eyes when I went online on Jan 25. Every store, including Home Depot, Lowes, Homehardware, CanadianTire, Walmart, Amazon.ca had 0 N95 respirators(in pack) in stock. Yes, you can still buy individual masks but you would have to pay a lot more.
Sellers have been charging 5x or 10x more for N95 masks on Amazon. People in Hong Kong were hording masks, sanitizes, rice and cup noodles. I tried to buy some N95 masks but the seller refunded my order citing that it was out of stock.
If you don’t have any disposable N95 masks, try 3M 6000 or 7000 half-face respirator or the more expensive full-face respirator 3M 6800 (which I have, it is excellent). Remember: you still need to purchase proper filter for them. You can still buy them but be prepared to spend at least $30 to $100 each.
3. So what to do now?
- Watch Dr. Martenson talking about the virus here.
- Be extra careful about personal hygiene. Don’t touch your eyes before washing your hands. Wear a suitable mask if you are in a crowd. Try to stay home as much as possible.
- Store medical supplies, essential oils, vitamins and supplements to boost your immune system.
- Store water and food. Imagine that the same quarantine measures in China coming to your nearest neighbourhood. It is 100% possible. Then you will be totally dependent on the government. Don’t wait, be prepared yourself for your family’s sake.
- Pray. This is no joke. All throughout my website whenever I talk about “prepping”, I stress the ultimate importance of trusting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. We are just temporary residents on this earth. Our eternal home is with God in new Jerusalem. We don’t have to fear if it is our time to leave this world.
Let me share these verses as comfort:
Psalms 91
1) He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2) I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3) Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4) He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5) Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6) Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
May God protect you in this turbulent times.
