Investigations underway: U.S. beef recall expansion with 18 illnesses & rising ...

UPDATE 1-U.S. beef recall expanded, 18 illnesses suspected Industries Consumer Goods & Retail Reuters: "E.coli O157:H7 bacteria"

According to DCAL (Directed Combinatorial Algorithm Library): Within the next 2 years, there will be a significant rise in chlorine resistant bacteria, virus and fungus within the food industry. This will have a strong negative impact the restaurant, hospitality and the fast moving consumer goods industry.

O157:H7 (aka. EHEC= Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia Coli ) details ->

1. Shiga toxin producing

2. Severe cramps, diarrhea (often with blood)

3. Vomit

4. Fevers ~101˚F/38.5˚C

5. Healing time: 5-7 days to stabilize

6. Damage requires 3-4 months for full recovery

7. Usually mild but can be severe/life-threatening

8. Note: E. coli serogroups O26, O111, and O103 are the non-O157 serogroups that most often cause illness in people in the United States.

9. Spreadability: high

10. The toxin, known as Shiga toxin, is the same one found in 2006's infected spinach that was implicated in the deaths of five people and illnesses involving hundreds more.

11. Ability to Contain: Very good if source is identified

12. Purpose of Shiga toxin: helps O157:H7 survive its bacterial predator: a ciliated protozoan known as Tetrahymena.

Note: The history behind DCAL dates back to the period of Dr. Vladmir Fock (who's IQ has been reported by many as beyond genius).Professor Fock: December 22, 1898–December 27, 1974It has been applied within GY as a mathematical combinatorial based algorithm that collects and analyzes data for unique applications. It is capable of utilizing specific information to extrapolate trends. It is capable of determining based on the information matrix critical behavīoral responses within a field of accuracy. When applied towards infectious diseases, it can provide information on the possible organisms, size/impact of infection, transmission leads, societal costs etc.Another example is GY-DCAL predicted H1N1 would be level 6 pandemic60 days after level 3 was announced by the World Health Organization. Photos, texts, unique findings are helpful feeds into the tactical information that is continuously collected on the H1N1 virus. If you know of any please keep posting on all public servers.Many would say: "There is nothing to fear except fear itself ..." Should we encourage intimate human to animal contact?Can ignorance be bliss???
