Corona Virus Updates Part 4

Oh, good the stock market went up.

Pandemic crisis averted. Where is all the news that were gonna die? Are we not gonna die?

It is obviously the "calm time" I've been writing about. We go through phases. Panic-calm, calm-panic.

What will tomorrow bring in the land of doom?

It definitely speeds up the process of covering losses from February to not have to pay the workers playing catch up. It's China, I sincerely could care less what they do where their workforce is concerned. We don't have time to instantly fire up the manufacturing in the US to cover the loss right now, so I'm glad to see China doing whatever is needed to meet their agreed quotas.

Yeah it's interesting to hear the fire dept respond to medical stuff a lot in the US - I don't think that usually happens here in the UK very often.

That's a China issue, not a USA issue. Everybody has mouths to feed and lives to provide for. Sadly through regulations and wage controls the US drive manufacturing out of the United States, so our products now come from China. To that end, I do not care *how* China fills their contracts as much as I care that they *do* fill those contracts.

That is just horrendous.
I'd actually insist on management insisting on appropriate PPE and consider contacting a union (if you are not a member I would join asap) for advice. Bloody shocking. It shows again how there are no clear guidelines or measures filtered down to hospitals and community medical centres.

FEMA preparing for possible coronavirus emergency declaration

WASHINGTON — The Federal Emergency Management Agency is planning for the possibility that President Donald Trump could make an emergency declaration to bring in extra funds and personnel to assist the administration's coronavirus response, according to internal documents obtained by NBC News.

FEMA officials are preparing for an "infectious disease emergency declaration" by the president that would allow the agency to provide disaster relief funding to state and local governments, as well as federal assistance to support the coronavirus response, according to agency planning documents reviewed by NBC News.

He did answer the question, he just didn't fall for the loaded question as it was presented. He's traveling as Vice President, so he's "living his professional life." His personal judgement on pleasure travel is immaterial in his capacity as VP. If he said "No, I'd not go to Disney World" then he's opened a huge can of worms and would have done so in his professional capacity about a personal leisure travel question. Unless and until the task force issue travel restrictions, it would be inappropriate for any elected official to use their professional podium to make a personal judgement call like that.

Since so many are stocking rice:
I have been storing rice for decades, have never had bugs or any other problem.

I vacuum seal 12"x12" bags, exactly enough to fill our rice jar. (kills any bugs or eggs?)

Then place the bags in banker boxes, with a folded sheet of newspaper between the bags. (rice has sharp edges)

Then I stack the boxes in a 55Gal drum in the basement, and band the lid. (mouse proof)

Some boxes also have corn meal, potato flakes and various beans.

Looks like they (CCP) are cleaning up the evidence. I'm guessing they know the lid is going to be blown off of their lies at some point. Too bad the WHO never actually went anywhere meaningful while they were there. All for show.

Chinese Authorities Require Government Offices to Destroy Data Related to Coronavirus Outbreak


The original document images are embedded on the site.

The Epoch Times obtained a copy of a Feb. 23 document sent from the Chaoyang city health commission to its provincial counterpart, the Liaoning health commission. The city is located in the country’s northeastern region, thousands of miles away from the virus epicenter in Hubei.

In compliance with the provincial health commission’s instructions, the city has inquired and checked within its government departments and agencies that previously received “documents and data” related to the outbreak, and have duly destroyed them, the document stated.

Staff who had access to the data were also required to sign a “letter of commitment,” which stipulated that officials promise to delete relevant documents from their laptops, computers, smartphones, external drive, and so on.

Furthermore, the signee will delete any screenshots and photos he or she made of the documents, and will promise not to share the contents of said documents with any party.

Yeah I think here we will panic more than some of our EU neighbours. And IMO the whole 'keep calm and carry on' is not really the way it is anymore - it's just a slogan. I also don't think we should 'carry on' the way we currently are, we should be trying to slow down the spread in order to stop the inevitable strain on our NHS. But we are not being told to change our behaviours yet - not even avoid large crowds or events. It's kind of ridiculous at this point. When we are faced with numbers like Italy there will be a panic as we won't be mentally prepared for it, and we are only a small country compared to the USA. You can't just jump state and travel a few thousand miles or bugout. That's not being panicky, it's just what will happen as it spreads i think, it will cause a lot of fear and panic.

I agree - the info from our government has been inconsistent and contradictory - I don't have much faith in it right now!

One probable scenario and not that way out is that we are in all likelihood looking at a Wuhan event in many cities, if we don't . that's another "Why not" question. I cant see any elections taking place for a while, in fact we are probably six weeks away from Marshal Law. With a prolonged emergency which will have a different time outcome than China. This depends on the true death rate as it unfolds in reality. I can believe Wuhan is settling down, the Draconian measures which we seem to know about, regarding the quick disposal of bodies, is most likely the cause of the slowdown. The West especially America will most likely not stand for these tactics, the people charged with enforcing them will just desert in droves. Hence the Governments fine balancing act as far as numbers disclosure goes. They have all the information, they know the true state of play, and cant afford to blow it. If in truth China really has a manpower shortage to contend with ,as the reality starts to bite over the next few weeks we will know why. Simply because its not just the oldies dying off. I bet at this stage World leaders are more interested in maintaining power, and wondering how an incapacitated army will actually cope.

The iran numbers are not included as they aren't the 'official' ones right?

So he's taking Mother and the yet to be born grandkids to Disney? Swell. It was a cheers post, sir. He's from my home state and we know how great he is (not) in health crisis. It was levity. The move along citizen message was catchy though. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Cheers! Hope you are well. Nice to see you!

Even if they get a vaccination for it, everyone will be like.... I'm not taking that. It has microchips in it. Blah blah blah.

Well, in the case of those who might feel that way, Billy Gates, kinda the unofficial (or actual?) vaccine king, is doing just that.


The blog of Bill Gates

Today we’re focused on longer-lasting preventatives. Imagine if, instead of having to take a pill every day, a person could get one injection every other month, an implant in his or her arm, or even a vaccine to entirely remove the risk of getting the virus.

Just sayin....

From a purely fiscal position, sure.

But doesn't it sound terribly - oh, I don't know - Nazi concentration camp comes to mind.

Indeed, it’s possible to think of the camps as what happens when you cross three disciplinary institutions that all societies possess—the prison, the army, and the factory. Over the several phases of their existence, the Nazi camps took on the aspects of all of these, so that prisoners were treated simultaneously as inmates to be corrected, enemies to be combatted, and workers to be exploited.

I kind of feel like the CCP doesn't give a # about how many Uighers die getting the factories running again - "as long as we catch up, we can sterilise the place and move our workers back in".

I agree with who gives a # about the CCP, but we need to have some conscience about the people they oppress.

Just my opinion.

I watched the video and...

1. everyone with smiles, their fridge must be full by now
2. Covid 19 was mention, fact is everyone uses "corona virus"
3. they were more interested in talking about how the virus spreads around the world "hey, what about America"
4. personally it came across like there is NO real volunteer co-operation between the local govt. and DC (any co-operation must be being forced upon them and I don't think the local govt. are believing what is being said
5. all are speaking from papers, nothing but a can speech going on here
6. I didn't hear really any common sense in advising the public how to handle situations like the current one
7. too much talking about the past history of... who really cares
8. its all about those with inside info, getting out of Dodge City, I'm not even in the States and I feel that
9. everyone on stage is pumping up each other (but when asked real questions, we here are more informed what is going on )
10. CDC 's job is to provide support ? to indentify cases... what do they do with the info...
11. mentioning how great all these agencies are handling the situation... yep
12. no mention of the economy this time, you know why... I'll tell ya in a bit
13. evasive answers were given... we are evaluating the situation... a bit late. the hidden enemy is winning
14. so much action is being taken.... but they haven't said what action.. all behind closed doors.. expect no good to come out of this
15. no mention for a back up plan if the local health officials get sick
16. what is this? Litagation of the spread. what the heck does that mean
17. their eyes were afraid of speaking the truth ... they don't even know how to tell the truth and we are to believe them
18. things can change...repeatily being said
19. spring travel... no answer on that one... hmm
20. live a normal life ... hey folks I don't believe in that statement. heck I now know what it is not to have an income and the uncertainty of just expect the unexpected
21. the risk are low... they keep saying that , but they are also covering their butts with their answers
22. they are giving us real time info... what that meant to be the joke of the day

NO ONE WAS WEARING A MASK THERE IN THAT ROOM

OK. this is my update:

If you really want to know when the secret knowledge of the virus was let out: check into who and when they unloaded their stocks in the casino businesses. Casino towns are going to be zombie zones. What you folks don't know is that here in Japan we closed what are similar to casinos called Pachinko parlers. The same will eventually have to happen in the States. So if you got a casino job now... you've been warned. Pachinko business is very big business here.

The news states they are currently monitoring 250 people in AZ
