\"\"I confess to swinging back and forth as to whether the Coronavirus\u00a0is a lethal threat. Virologist\u00a0James Robb’s<\/span>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 advice to\u00a0family and friends, below, alarms me.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Snopes reached out to Robb who confirmed its authenticity<\/span>.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n
“It was my email to my family and close friends ONLY. Someone put it on their Facebook page. It was intended to be a monologue – not a dialogue. I do not use any social media and may have been too naive about what “sharing” means today.”<\/strong><\/h5>\n
James Robb:\u00a0 “I hope that this pandemic will be reasonably contained, BUT I personally do not think it will be. Humans have never seen this snake-associated virus before and have no internal defense against it. Tremendous worldwide efforts are being made to understand the molecular and clinical virology of this virus. Unbelievable molecular knowledge about the genomics, structure, and virulence of this virus has already been achieved. BUT, there will be NO drugs or vaccines available this year to protect us or limit the infection within us. Only symptomatic support is available.”<\/h5>\n

by James Robb, MD UC San Diego — (henrymakow.com)<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Dear Colleagues, as some of you may recall,<\/strong> when I was a professor of pathology at the University of California San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (the 1970s). I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained. Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources.<\/h5>\n
The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data, but it is most likely to be widespread in the US by mid to late March and April.<\/h5>\n
Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take. These are the same precautions I currently use during our influenza seasons, except for the mask and gloves.:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n
