Prince William, Kate Middleton Shock: Couple Will Reportedly Be Proclaimed New King, Queen In July
Prince William and Kate Middleton are considered as two of the most significant members of the royal family as they could become the next rulers of the United Kingdom. This, according to reports, is one of the many reasons why many people look up to them. Recently, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have become more visible to the public despite the perils posed by the coronavirus outbreak.
In Touch Weekly, in its upcoming April 6, 2020 issue, claimed that Prince William and Kate have started taking the majority of Queen Elizabeth’s workload, especially after Her Majesty was exposed to the deadly virus recently. Aside from a royal aide, Prince Charles has, also, tested positive for COVID-19, which forced him to isolate himself alongside Camilla Parker-Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall.
With the ambiguity and fear over the pandemic, Queen Elizabeth, allegedly, decided to, finally, pass on the crown to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. “The queen’s life is on hold – she doesn’t know if or when she’ll be able to return to Buckingham Palace or resume her duties, which is why she’s been forced to rethink her position. It wasn’t an easy decision, but in the end, she knew in her heart it was best of William and Kate took over the reins now,” a source told the entertainment news outlet.
It was even claimed that Prince William and Kate Middleton will be proclaimed King and Queen in July. “It will be a $1 billion event the world has never seen – a huge celebration with all the royals there,” the tipster added. The parents of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have, reportedly, started strategizing about moving the monarchy forward sans Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles.
This is not the first time that In Touch made a report about the rumored $1 billion coronation of Prince William and Kate. In December 2019, the tabloid, as shared by International Business Times, reported that Queen Elizabeth thinks the Cambridge pair should take the throne instead of Prince Charles, who, allegedly, does not possess the right traits to take on the crown.
However, the Clarence House, previously, confirmed that Her Majesty is not planning to retire soon despite her advanced age. Prince Charles’ London palace and office, also, denied that Queen Elizabeth has been discussing or even thinking about retirement and abdication. “There are no plans for any change in arrangements at the age of 95 — or any other age,” the statement said, per USA Today.

"Rainbow symbols made by children"

Do you know this was written in Politico's Covid-19 Disinformation Briefing No.1:

The conspiracy network’s fixation on a chemical compound, Adrenochrome, which QAnon conspiracy theorists claim was being manufactured in Wuhan before the outbreak. These networks claim that a manufacturing plant in the region, owned and funded by, among others, George Soros, had been supplying the drug to a powerful ‘elite’ of politicians, celebrities and CEOs. The process required to produce this drug, they claim, requires the torturing and ritual sacrifice of children.
don't you wonder why only 20% of covid patiens come off a respirator?
It's less than that: Only 14% come off a respirator and live (for how long, that is not known.)
'Surreal': NY funeral homes struggle as virus deaths surge
By JAKE SEINER and JOHN MINCHILLO Associated Press
April 5, 2020 — 11:15am
NEW YORK — Pat Marmo walked among 20 or so deceased in the basement of his Brooklyn funeral home, his protective mask pulled down so his pleas could be heard.
"Every person there, they're not a body," he said. "They're a father, they're a mother, they're a grandmother. They're not bodies. They're people."
Like many funeral homes in New York and around the globe, Marmo's business is in crisis as he tries to meet surging demand amid the coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 2,200 people in New York City alone. His two cellphones and the office line are ringing constantly. He's apologizing to families at the start of every conversation for being unusually terse, and begging them to insist hospitals hold their dead loved ones as long as possible.
His company is equipped to handle 40 to 60 cases at a time, no problem. On Thursday morning, it was taking care of 185.
"This is a state of emergency," he said. "We need help."
Funeral directors are being squeezed on one side by inundated hospitals trying to offload bodies, and on the other by the fact that cemeteries and crematoriums are booked for a week at least, sometimes two.
Marmo let The Associated Press into his Daniel J. Schaefer funeral home in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn on Thursday to show how dire the situation has become.
He has about 20 embalmed bodies stored on gurneys and stacked on shelves in the basement and another dozen in his secondary chapel room, both chilled by air conditioners.
He estimated that more than 60% had died of the new coronavirus. For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms, but for some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness and lead to death.
"It's surreal," he said.
Hospitals in New York have been using refrigerated trucks to store the dead, and Marmo is trying to find his own. One company quoted him a price of $6,000 per month, and others are refusing outright because they don't want their equipment used for bodies.
Even if he gets a truck, he has nowhere obvious to put it. He's wondering if the police station across the street might let him use its driveway.
He's also hoping the Environmental Protection Agency will lift regulations that limit the hours crematoriums can operate. That would ease some of the backlog.
"I need somebody to help me," he said. "Maybe if they send me refrigeration, or guide me in a way that I could set up a refrigerated trailer that I could keep, and I could supervise."
Patrick Kearns, a fourth-generation funeral director in Queens, said the industry has never experienced anything like this. His family was prepared on 9/11 for their business to be overrun, but with so many bodies lost amid the rubble, the rush never came.

I heard a pulmonologist on public radio say that intubated people on ventilators do not survive with COVID-19. So far, I haven’t seen any detailed case studies or statistics, other than an unsourced mention in this April 3, 2020 Forbes article, “What Does The Ventilator Do For You If You Have COVID-19 Coronavirus? It claims, “The percent of COVID-19 patients who have done so successfully has ranged from single digit percents to greater than 50%.”
Severe acute respiratory syndrome, or what we have here with COVID-19, has a mortality rate by itself of 40%. I did not find any statistics indicating survival residue with SARS after intubation (severe lung edema, rupture of cells, and so on). The only way to decrease additional ventilator damage is to decrease the force (pressure), frequency, and O2.
I do not think that many patients on ventilators survive because the lung is fried: pushing air into fried meat just makes it crumble and disintegrate. As I mentioned in my previous post, my partner was given BiPAP ventilatory assistance using a non-rebreather valve, and that, indeed, may be the way to go, instead of this endless cry for ventilators. I wonder if all other COVID-19 patients have 100% recovery when not intubated?
Other reports indicate that ventilators save 14% of lives, meaning 86% of patients put on ventilators do not survive. Are government officials (and the press) spreading false hope to families touting ventilators as saving 100% of lives for 100% of patients? According to Gov. Cuomo, “If you go on a ventilator there is roughly only a 20% chance that you will come off the ventilator. The longer you are on the ventilator, the lower the chance that you come off.” That means the rest die.
Under mechanical ventilation (endotracheal intubation), the lungs of patients with COVID-19 are so inflamed that oxygen is not able to reach the small alveoli when they breathe. So we’re forcing O2 under pressure into these very small air passages. Using this therapy strategy, is it possible there is more damage being done for those who do survive than would be if we use BiPAP plus additional 02?
