The link still works for me. You might just need to refresh. Could have been a glitch.

I've been trying to figure out why Russia and Saudi would suddenly start an oil war, at a time the world is trying to work through a pandemic thats wrecking the economy.

It made no sense, there was no urgency in it, Saudi did not need to flood the markets and slash prices suddenly.

Then I remembered weeks ago a news report out of New Zealand that a sudden large influx of private jets were landing at NZ Airports.. I cant find the article now but i remember reading it.

The OIL War, its not an oil war... Its the super rich pulling out as much money as they can from their market holdings. Saudi was used as the smoke screen...

If the uber rich suddenly withdrawn nearly a trillion.. it would be a massive and obvious move.. but an oil crash...

nothing to spend the money on though

money will always have a place... no event is large enough to literally send us to the stone age.

money buys a lot in crisis.

I think that's what it was.

The Saudi's, Russians, Europeans and American super wealthy hoaxed an oil war.

The market didn't crash a trillion dollars... it was withdrawn!

House of commons Live in the UK, the prime minister is there, they are like sardines all packed in, its almost like they want to catch it!!

SOUTH AFRICA UPDATE:

I no longer get weird looks at work when I refuse to shake hands, instead offering a fist bump. Everyone just laughs sheepishly and on we go.

£30billion pound put up by the UK government to help NHS, small business owners, 2000 people on a dedicated coronavirus helpline etc. With more money offered if needed.
Makes the $8billion dollars seem inadequate for the US seeing as they have 330 million people compared to the UK's 67 million people.

Since posting Spains numbers on last page, its gone up to 420 new cases and 1 more death.

It's too late now but i really think we should have stopped all flights 2 weeks ago

Strange Johns Hopkins data.

Don't know if anyone else is playing with the numbers, but US is currently on 1039 cases.

Johns Hopkins has broken US up into all sorts of states in the spreadshee t data. Adding those up for yesterday gives US confirmed cases as 1670.

Could just be an error in the data, but a bit strange.

Could be that it is different people updating each tracker. The spreadsheet only has 1 contributor.

For UK peeps. This article caught my eye. It is a 1 minute read.

council chief executive quit with immediate effect

Now, this could be to do with something else entirely, but the timing of it, for someone who may well have been briefed on the situation... It seems very odd... or not... depending on how you look at it.

tldr: Council chief and assistant chief executive quit with immediate effect (not even working out their notice period) after 22 years of service and a 150-160K salary. They have left everyone else very confused as to why. Even if there was wrong doing, this wouldn't be how they'd handle it, so something else is up.

Take this for what it is, but I know what I take from it...



But that's just me.

On a general note...
I'd be looking to recenter on personal sovereignty at this point (if you haven't always been there anyway), and vest little hope or trust in authority. You don't have to ignore them, but looking out for you and yours and being smart is the best you can do right now. If it all magically blows over, then great, but ya know... logic says, don't assume such an outcome. Trust ya gut. Don't take stupid risks if you don't need to. Keep a light mind, stay level and calm, use absorbing hobbies or pass times to clear your mind if overwhelmed... it really helps. Watching numbers go up will not solve anything, but stress will have detrimental effects on your health and rational thinking.

Hope y'all hanging in there. Quite frankly, the unreality of it all is kind of hard to comprehend, even when you've followed it closely.

Much love genuine ATSers

Interesting.


Thanks - as long as the internet stays on so places like this become better communities.

Anyone know if a current list is kept anywhere about which U.S. states have declared a state of emergency because of Covid-19?

I'm seeing bits here and there in the media, but no centralized, updated list.

Cheers

On this site, when you scroll down below the map of the U.S., each state is listed. Those with a triangle next to them have declared a state of emergency.

I can totally agree with that.

To put it further in prospective, they could be waiting for the common folk, such as so many posters here, to try to take advantage of the low prices and sell higher still and make more money off of the working man.

The trillions cash grab may not be over.

9 pm Tokyo Wednesday March 11

600 cases now of infections. So many so fast.
73 in Osaka and Tokyo

Tokyo , seems a bit like "subways and trains" during rush hour, and only this many, but more test are now being available.
The news in Tokyo does seem to be very quiet though. I mean it has 14 million people and only 73 cases now. That news sounds good actually in a way.

Daughter texted me U of Michigan teacher said she received an email

-All faculty should prepare to teach their classes online very soon.-

However, no official date given.

Near me in Pennsylvania, Muhlenberg College and West Chester University have closed their campuses and have sent the students packing.

Syracuse University announced that yesterday. Friday will be the last day of classes, after that, all online.

My question is why for universities, but for schools it is still business as usual. What, kids don't have contact with others? Either way, Friday is the last day for my kids. Pulling them out until we see how this spreads.

From intrepid Epoch Times and NTD reporter Jennifer Zeng -

Maybe this Courier company’s delivery card updated on Mar 11 gives you a more precise idea of the #COVID2019 #coronavirus situation in #China. No delivery service for entire #hubei and #Xinjiang province. No service in many cities in other 8 provinces including Beijing.

Per CCP they have won against the virus! Few to no cases or deaths!

Then why haven’t courier services resumed?

Why did they put cops inside apartments when Emperor Xi visited Wuhan? Did he even visit Wuhan? Looked like a green screen to me.

Whole lotta fake normalcy is all I see from CCP.

Keeping my eyes on SK and Italy.

Rumor in fed govt WA will declare some type of lockdown or quarantine today at 10:15am presser.
