Covid-19 pandemic in Asia 'far from over,' countries should brace

for 'large-scale community transmission,' WHO warns

31 Mar, 2020 05:54 / Updated 2 hours ago

 

"While some Asian countries appear to have slowed down the spread of the deadly Covid-19 disease, no nation should let its guard down, World Health Organization (WHO) experts have warned.

"Let me be clear. The epidemic is far from over in Asia and the Pacific," WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific Takeshi Kasai told reporters on Tuesday.

 

This is going to be a long-term battle and we cannot let down our guard… We need every country to keep preparing for large-scale community transmission.

 

While positive news has been coming out of China and South Korea, whose response seems to have slowed down the spread of the virus, WHO technical adviser Matthew Griffith explained that this should not be interpreted as Covid-19 leaving particular areas."

Coronavirus: Trump says US in good shape to meet 'peak'

1 hour ago

 

"Donald Trump has said the US will be in "a very good shape" in terms of the number of ventilators available by the time the coronavirus outbreak peaks.

 

The president said at least 10 US companies were now making the medical devices, and some might be exported.

 

The virus can cause severe respiratory issues, and ventilators help keep patients breathing.

 

However, several state and local officials have warned hospitals are at risk of running out of equipment.

 

Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey, the US state with the second-highest number of cases, was the latest to raise the alarm, saying the "need [was] dire".

 

"We need more ventilators… This is real life. This is life and death," he said on Twitter.

 

Trump extends US virus guidelines to end of April

Trump backs away from New York 'quarantine'

What this crisis reveals about the US

The US has more than 163,000 confirmed virus cases and over 3,000 deaths. On Monday, officials announced 540 new deaths in a 24-hour period, the deadliest day yet in the country.

 

New York City is the worst-hit place in the US, with 914 confirmed fatalities, according to Johns Hopkins University. The US last week became the country with the most reported cases, ahead of Italy and China."

2 Top Democratic Groups Form Alliance to Support Joe Biden

"WASHINGTON — Two of the most prominent outside Democratic groups are forming a partnership to pool resources and research to help elect former Vice President Joseph R.

How the House approved the coronavirus bill

Published 2 hours ago

 

"Perhaps you’re exhausted from debates on Twitter about “My Pillow.”

 

And those sports reruns. Was Duke really the only school to play in every meaningful basketball game of the past three decades?

 

So now you’re wondering exactly what in the world went on the other day on Capitol Hill. That’s when Congress struggled to adopt the coronavirus bill. What was going on with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)? And why, oh why couldn’t lawmakers vote from the comfort of their living rooms – while watching Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley and Mike Krzyzewski, of course?

 

So, let’s explore what happened during the coronavirus debate last week.

 

Let’s start with the controversy in the House about taking a “recorded vote” on the coronavirus bill.

 

Some suggested the House somehow “cheated” or used a shady backdoor method to approve the $2.2 trillion coronavirus package.

 

Under normal circumstances, lawmakers would insist on their presence to vote on the plan. The bill is the largest in U.S. history and could prove to be the most consequential piece of legislation of the modern era. The Senate voted 96-0 on the plan. Ninety-six of all 100 sitting U.S. senators were present and voted in person on the measure. The four who missed the vote either tested positive for coronavirus or were quarantined."

How Many Patients Died While Cuomo Lied? NY Gov.

Hoarded Ventilators While Patients Had to Share or Had None

11 MINS AGO

 

"This will be a great test for U.S. Attorney General William Barr who, flanked by President Trump, warned all comers last week that anyone caught hoarding critical medical supplies would be prosecuted by the Justice Department.

 

Literally days later, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was busted hoarding thousands of ventilators from sick patients while he jockeyed with the federal government to buy and send New York more ventilators because he said the state was experiencing a supposed dire shortage. It turns out, that was a lie and Cuomo was just being a cheap bureaucrat, gambling with the lives of sick patients while trying to haord even more ventilators, this time for free."

US renews sanctions on Iran's nuclear program, threatens

economic pressure despite calls to lift restrictions amid pandemic

31 Mar, 2020 07:41

 

"The US has renewed sanctions curtailing Iran's nuclear program for another 60 days, as Iran issued pleas for the US to ease its pressure campaign during the Covid-19 pandemic to avoid humanitarian and economic crisis.

"We will continue to use the full range of our diplomatic and economic tools to constrain Iran's destabilizing proliferation activities," the US State Department said in a statement.

 

The US re-imposed sweeping sanctions on Iran after Washington unilaterally left the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran's nuclear program in 2018. The move was blasted by the EU, Russia and China, who were also signatories of the agreement.

 

US President Donald Trump claimed that the Islamic Republic was secretly violating the JCPOA. However, the global nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), confirmed at the time that Iran was complying with the deal."

US COVID-19 Deaths Soar Past 3,000 As New York Issues

Appeal For Medical Volunteers

March 31, 2020 Updated: March 31, 2020

 

"More than 3,000 people have died from the CCP virus in the United States while over 164,539 cases have been confirmed, according to the latest data collated by Johns Hopkins University, which is tracking the global pandemic.

 

As of March 30, a reported 3,164 have died from the COVID-19 disease, with 914 of those deaths occurring in New York City, which has become the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States.

 

On Monday, New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued an urgent nationwide appeal for medical volunteers to join what he called the “front lines” as he and health officials warned that the crisis unfolding in the state is just a preview of what other U.S. communities could soon face, adding that the virus “doesn’t discriminate” and that no American is immune to the disease.

 

“We need to recruit more healthcare workers,” he told a briefing at a makeshift hospital at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. “We need to share healthcare professionals within this state and within this country. As governor of New York, I am asking healthcare professionals across the country, if you don’t have a healthcare crisis in your community, please come help us in New York now.”

 

“I don’t care if you live in Kansas. I don’t care if you live in Texas. There is no American that is immune … what is happening to New York is not an anomaly. There is nothing about a New Yorker’s immune system that is any different from any other American’s immune system. So in many ways, New York is just a canary in a coal mine.”

 

Before Cuomo’s appeal to medical volunteers, nearly 80,000 former nurses, doctors and other professionals were stepping up to volunteer, while the USNS Comfort, a Navy hospital ship featuring 1,000 beds and 12 operating rooms, arrived in New York harbor to help free up room in the city’s overwhelmed hospitals to handle those who have become sick from the CCP virus."

How "Progressive" Ideology Led To COVID-19 Catastrophe

In Spain

Tue, 03/31/2020 - 02:00

 

"The nationwide rallies were aimed at protesting the government's perennial bugbear: the alleged patriarchy of Western civilization.

 

Hundreds of thousands of people participated in those marches, and several high-profile attendees — including Spain's deputy prime minister, as well as the prime minister's wife and mother, and also the wife of the leader of Podemos — have since tested positive for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). It is unknown how many people were infected by the coronavirus as a result of the rallies.

 

The lawsuit, involving more than 5,000 plaintiffs, accuses Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and his representatives in Spain's 17 autonomous regions of "prevarication" — a Spanish legal term that means lying and deceiving. The government was allegedly so determined to ensure that the feminist marches took place on March 8 that it deliberately downplayed warnings about the pandemic. These warnings include:

 

September 2019. The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board, an international panel of experts convened by the World Bank and the World Health Organization (WHO), warned of a "very real threat of a rapidly moving, highly lethal pandemic of a respiratory pathogen killing 50 to 80 million people and wiping out nearly 5% of the world's economy.

 

December 31. China alerted WHO to several cases of unusual pneumonia in Wuhan, a port city of 11 million people in the central Hubei province. The virus was unknown.

 

January 7. China identified the new coronavirus as the cause of a mystery disease in Wuhan.

 

January 21. WHO confirmed human-to-human transmission of the virus.

 

January 29. Spanish pharmaceutical cooperatives warned that pharmacies were running out of masks due to a surge in demand. Sales of masks surged by 3,000% in January compared to the year before.

 

January 30. WHO Director-General declared the coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern.

 

January 31. The first known case of COVID-19 in Spain was confirmed in La Gomera, Canary Islands, where a German tourist tested positive and was admitted to a local hospital.

 

February 12. Mobile World Congress, the world's largest mobile phone trade fair, which draws more than 100,000 participants from 200 countries, was cancelled due to fears of coronavirus. The financial loss to Barcelona and the city's hospitality industry was estimated to be €500 million ($560 million).

 

February 24. More than 1,000 guests and employees at the Costa Adeje Palace hotel in Tenerife, Canary Islands, were quarantined after an Italian citizen tested positive for COVID-19.

 

February 27. A 62-year-old man from Seville tested positive for COVID-19. His was the first case of local transmission of the virus in Spain. The man said that he believed he was infected during a banking conference in Malaga, where he sat next to a partner who traveled to the Canary Islands on vacation and had had contact with people from Asia. Doctors said that the diagnosis was of "great importance" because it proved that COVID-19 has been circulating in Spain without detection.

 

March 2. The European Center for Disease Control and Prevention advised European countries to cancel mass gatherings of people to prevent the transmission of coronavirus.

 

March 2. The Spanish Medical Agency sent a letter to pharmaceutical distributors to restrict the marketing of masks and to block their distribution across Spanish pharmacies. The agency's objective, on the advice of the Ministry of Health, was to ensure the supply of masks to hospitals and health centers at a time when the number of confirmed cases was beginning to multiply. The measure blocked sales to Spanish pharmacies, as well as sales abroad.

Cuomo: Trump’s quarantine would be a ‘federal declaration of war,’ prompting a ‘civil war discussion’

11 MINS AGO

 

"New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said on Saturday that if the federal government were to enforce a quarantine of his state and the surrounding region it would amount to a “federal declaration of war.”

 

Cuomo made the comments on CNN as President Donald Trump said earlier in the morning that he was considering a quarantine of “developing ‘hot spots,'” including New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The president said “a decision will be made, one way or another, shortly.”

 

However, Cuomo said the measure would be unwarranted.

 

“This is a civil war kind of discussion,” he said of the proposal while doubting that Trump was seriously considering it as an option. “I don’t believe that any administration could be serious about physical lockdowns of states.”

 

Several states have already imposed restrictions on travelers from New York. For instance, the governors of Rhode Island and Florida have declared a mandatory 14-day quarantine for any traveler from the Empire State. Additionally, state police officers have set-up checkpoints on I-95 in both states screening drivers with New York license plates."

Germany sees 4-digit jump in Covid-19 cases to 61,913 as

death toll nears 600

31 Mar, 2020 06:18 / Updated 1 hour ago

 

"The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Germany has risen from 57,298 to 61,913 in 24 hours, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has reported. The disease has claimed 128 more lives, bringing the total death toll to 583.

Baden-Wuerttemberg, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia remain the parts of Germany with most cases and deaths, according to the latest tally.

 

Germany is considering new measures that would help deal with the coronavirus, including tracking movement of patients through their phones. The approach is used by several other nations like Singapore and Israel, but digital surveillance is a touchy subject in Germany. Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht said tracking apps may be used in the country only voluntary.

 

The leading European economy remains among the nations in which a high number of identified cases has resulted in a relatively low number of deaths. France has fewer virus-positive patients but more fatalities, with its death toll sadly surpassing 3,000 on Tuesday."

UK Drug Dealer: People Are "Panic-Buying" Cocaine And Weed

To Cope With COVID-19 Lockdown

Tue, 03/31/2020 - 05:00

 

"The drug dealer, who has 20 dealers out on the street and 200 regular customers, told the Guardian, “People are panicking – the amounts of cannabis they’re buying is ridiculous – so we are just dealing to regulars now.”

 

He says that the price of cocaine is set to surge because there are no new shipments coming in from abroad for at least 6 weeks.

 

“I’m maintaining the same prices I’ve always charged but I’m concerned that, when stock begins to run low, people higher up the chain will charge more or cut the cocaine and decrease its quality,” said the dealer.

 

He added that people running out of money due to becoming unemployed as a result of the quarantine remains a primary concern, “but we’ll always have the regular cokeheads who buy most days.”

 

Dealers are also offering to take bank transfers from regular customers and post drugs through the letterbox to cut down on potentially spreading the coronavirus infection."

COVID-19 Derangement Syndrome: A World Gone Mad

Tue, 03/31/2020 - 00:05

 

"I define it as an acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in response to the Covid-19 Corona Virus pandemic. The infection is particularly prevalent among the media and the government officials of the world.

 

Human beings fear what they do not understand and that fear causes them to behave in irrational and destructive ways. The current Covid-19 pandemic is a perfect example of that. I don’t need to describe the paranoia and economic destruction to you because you can see it with your own two eyes everywhere you look. Both the media and the world’s governments are fueling the panic – the media with their hysterical 24/7 coverage and the governments with their draconian police state actions.

 

I feel like the man in the following cartoon.

 

 

I am doomed to helplessly stand by and watch the entire world commit economic suicide for no good reason. At first glance this may seem like a shocking and callous statement but do not mistake this as support for the view that the government should stand back and let the private sector take care of the problem. I have no problem with a strong authoritarian central government response as long as it is reasonable and wise. The current government response is neither.

 

Do Nothing VS Shut Everything Down

The current debate about what governments should do seems to be limited to two options: Do nothing and let the virus run its course or use authoritarian methods to quarantine and restrict the movement of citizens within and across state and national borders. The former will result in many people unnecessarily dying and the latter will save lives but is already resulting in a catastrophic worldwide economic collapse with repercussions that will last for years. It is very narrow thinking to think that those are the only two options that exist. There is always another way. Wouldn’t it be great if we could find a solution to the COVID-19 virus problem that would save lives and not result in a worldwide economic Armageddon? Such a solution exists and I will lay it out for you in this article.

 

First let’s define the problem: A highly contagious virus is spreading around the globe and killing people. Governments should be responsible for protecting their citizens so they must take action. But what actions should they take? That is an important question that must be carefully answered, but only after much research and consideration of all options. If we act rashly and arrive at the wrong answer people will die and/or lives will be destroyed by a global economic depression.

 

Let’s set aside the fear and hysteria and calmly use the Scientific Method to solve our problem. But I must first make a digression about science."

Megachurch pastor who promised to cure the US of coronavirus

ARRESTED for service flouting social distancing

30 Mar, 2020 22:51 / Updated 10 hours ago

 

"Tampa Bay pastor Rodney Howard-Browne, a religious confidante of President Donald Trump, has been arrested for refusing to obey social distancing orders at his church services. Last month, he vowed to cure coronavirus nationwide.

Howard-Browne turned himself in on Monday to Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies, who charged him with unlawful assembly and violating public health rules for continuing to hold his theatrical church services in violation of coronavirus-related ordnances.

 

The pastor, who personally “laid hands” on Trump at the White House in 2017 and who vowed earlier this month to keep his church open during the epidemic “because we’re raising up revivalists, not pansies,” posted $500 bail half an hour after he was arrested. "

Both public health and politics played a role in Trump’s

coronavirus decision

2 hrs ago

 

"In announcing that the country would remain shut down through April because of the coronavirus pandemic, President Trump and his advisers pointed to factors ranging from grim computer models showing millions of potential deaths to the unsettling sight of body bags lined up outside a Queens hospital.

 

But for Trump, political considerations also played a meaningful role, according to three people familiar with the discussions, speaking on the condition of anonymity to share candid discussions.

 

Aides and advisers say the president was heavily influenced by briefings from scientific and public health officials, as well as by the stark reality of the virus, including projections of greater deaths depending on what measures the government takes.

 

But Trump campaign officials and political allies had also briefed the president in recent days about their fears of reopening the economy too soon, arguing that a spike in deaths could be even more politically damaging in November than the current economic downturn, according to two of the people familiar with the discussions. Campaign officials declined to comment. "

Spain: 70% Of China's Virus-Testing Kits Are Faulty

Mar 30, 2020

< - - - EPOCH TIMES YOUTUBE VIDEO

 

"The COVID-19 rapid test kits provided by China were found sub-standard in multiple European countries. As the Czech Republic news outlets reported, the error rate of the rapid COVID test kits from China is as high as 80%. Spain also purchased 5,500,000 rapid COVID test kits from China and found they give incorrect results for 70% of the time.

 

Fernando Simón, the head of Spain's health-emergencies coordination center, said on March 26 that Spain checked the first batch of test kits provided by China. Nine thousand of them were found to be faulty.

 

Fernando Simón: “A company sent an initial batch of 9,000 tests. Through quality assurance testing at the National Center of Epidemiology and hospitals in Madrid, it was shown that the specifications of this batch of tests did not correspond to the quality certificates. So, we returned that batch of tests. The company will exchange them for another type of test.”

 

It has been reported that Spain always used the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing to confirm infection by the COVID-19 virus. It takes about 4 hours to provide results. The Chinese Communist Party claimed that the rapid test kits they produced could provide results immediately by placing a patient’s nasal swab into the kits.

 

The Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology announced that the batch of rapid test kits provided by China had an accuracy rate of less than 30%. They don’t meet the standard accuracy rate of 80%.

 

The Czech Republic news outlets recently reported that the error rate of China's rapid test kits is as high as 80%. The medical staff will have to continue using the conventional methodology to confirm the CCP virus infection."

Silly monkeys give them thumbs,

They forge a blade,

And where there's one

They're bound to divide it,

Right in two.

Right in two.

 

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey.

Over pieces of the ground.

Silly monkeys give them thumbs.

They make a club.

And beat their brother, down.

How they survive so misguided is a mystery.

 

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of its fleeting time here.

 

Gotta divide it all right in two [4x]

 

Fight 'til they die over wind, over sky

They fight over life, over prayer, over air and light

Over love, over sun, over another

They fight though they die over words polarizing.

 

Angels on the sideline again.

Benched along with patience and reason.

Angels on the sideline again

Wondering when this tug of war will end.

 

Gotta divide it all right in two [3x]

Right in two!

 

Right in two.

As far as Cannabis goes….

Toronto CBD Firm Taps Ex-Acting U.S. Attorney General Whitaker

For New Legal Advisor Role

Aug 28, 2019 03:33pm EDT

 

"Toronto-based CBD company Alternate Health Corp has hired Matthew Whitaker, former acting U.S. Attorney General, and his law firm Graves Garrett to serve as outside counsel. Best known for his brief tenure as U.S. Acting Attorney General after President Trump's firing of firebrand cannabis foe Jeff Sessions, Whitaker generated controversy for his alleged ties to Trump and his comments about the Robert Mueller probe of Russian interference into the 2016 U.S. presidential election. In February 2019, Whitaker left his position after serving for only three months."

The DOJ before during and after Whitaker' time was "working overtime" to ratify over 150 international treaties which would allow other nations to legalize cannabis and still trade with the U.S. as over the last 50+ years the U.S. had effectively exported it's drug policy hence the recent spade of nations now legalizing.

 

We should see legalization/declassification and/or complete removal of cannabis from scheduling soon yet I doubt Nadler's bill will pass yet nothing surprises me anymore.

 

We all know the fentanyl is coming primary from china.

We all know much of this was exasperated by the advent of Oxycontin being pushed by big Pharma and then suddenly they were gone but plenty of heroin was readily available, remember OBAMA/IRAN DEAL included Iran being allowed to move heroin into US…. and then here come the fentanyl…. it was always much more than a war on drugs it was always a war on people and in the case of cannabis it was always a war on our rights as cannabis is way better for people than alcohol and so much moar….

Pentagon Says Boot Camps Must Continue For

'National Security' Despite 'Putting Lives in Danger'

Tue, 03/31/2020 - 06:45

 

"Police are breaking up "coronavirus parties" in New Jersey, authorities are hunting down a Florida pastor for violating a 'health order' to not hold services, state troopers are enforcing quarantine orders along the Louisiana-Texas border, and yet it's business as usual for US military recruiting even as calls grow to close boot camps across the United States, especially at hard-hit coronavirus hot spots on the East and West coasts.

 

"Marine recruiters in the state hit hardest by the novel coronavirus have grave warnings about the military's decision to continue sending young men and women off to boot camp in the middle of a global pandemic," reports Military.com. "Marines at New York recruiting stations say it's only a matter of time before COVID-19, the serious illness caused by the coronavirus, sweeps through one of the service's two entry-level training depots."

Efforts have been implemented at Army and Marine recruiting offices to do remote virtual initial recruiting interviews; however, boot camp training grounds which see thousands of young future Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen conduct drills and exercises in close quarters - also sleeping in close quarter barracks - have taken no initiative to halt or alter training. Crowded chow halls and dining facilities are also potential places of rapid outbreak."

Coronavirus: Amazon workers threaten strikes over virus protection

25 minutes ago

 

"Pressure is building on Amazon and other delivery firms to improve protection for workers worried about getting infected with coronavirus.

 

Some workers at US food delivery firm Instacart and US and Italian workers at Amazon have walked out, complaining of inadequate protection.

 

US senators have also written to Amazon boss Jeff Bezos to express concerns.

 

The companies have said they are taking extra precautions, amid booming demand for delivery services due to the virus.

 

"We are going to great lengths to keep the buildings extremely clean and help employees practice important precautions such as social distancing and other measures", an Amazon spokesman said in a statement.

 

"Those who don't want to work are welcome to use paid and unpaid time off options and we support them in doing so".

 

Amazon said it had adjusted its practices, including increased cleaning of its facilities and introducing staggered shift and break times.

 

In Italy, the company said it had reduced deliveries since 22 March. However, union leaders say workers need access to better protection.

 

"Several employees working at the site use face masks for days instead of having new ones each day," one union representative told Reuters."
