In Update #19, on the Wuhan New Coronavirus (now officially “Covid-19”), Chris Martenson reports:

“After updating on the latest case information, this video explains what a cytokine storm is, how that actually is the cause of harm, and additional troubling information that nCoV (now “Covid-19”) spreads through the air.

Can a vaccine be developed soon? Well, a prior attempt to create one for SARS ended up doing more harm than good in animal models. This means we may need to temper our hopes for a quick vaccine and allow the process to run. It may take a while – a year or more?

Which means people need to be ready to hunker down for possibly long period of time if their strategy is to avoid getting infected until a vaccine is ready and available.”
