Update ( 0855ET ) : Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News on Wednesday that the US knows that the pandemic began in Wuhan , but that China still refuses to disclose information about their facilities and is engaging in ‘ classic communist disinformation.
’ He added that the CCP must be held accountable .

A US government analysis leaked to the Washington Times concludes that the Wuhan Institute of Virology or the Chinese CDC is the “most likely” source of the COVID-19 pandemic which has killed over 200,000 people worldwide in roughly four months.
The document, compiled from open sources and not a finished product, says there is no smoking gun to blame the virus on either the Wuhan Institute of Virology or the Wuhan branch of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, both located in the city where the first outbreaks were reported. –Washington Times
And while we may not have a smoking gun proving that COVID-19 escaped from the Wuhan lab, “there is circumstantial evidence to suggest such may be the case,” according to the report.
Also, it’s perhaps the world’s easiest game of connect-the-dots ;
In 2013, scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology collected horseshoe bats at a cave 1,000 miles away infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.
Stored away and forgotten until January this year, the sample from the horseshoe bat contains the virus that causes Covid-19. -WSJ
Peng Zhou, WIV’s head of Bat Virus Infection and Immunization, was researching “the molecular mechanism that allows Ebola and SARS-associated coronaviruses to lie dormant for a long time without causing diseases,” while a press release from his lab was titled “How bats carry viruses without getting sick.”
while a press release from his lab was titled “How bats carry viruses without getting sick.” Zhou’s colleague, Shi Zhengli, has been involved in bioengineering bat coronaviruses – co-authoring a controversial 2015 paper which described the creation of a new virus by combining a coronavirus found in Chinese horseshoe bats with another that causes human-like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in mice .
co-authoring a controversial 2015 paper In 2015, Nature magazine expressed concern over Zhengli’s experiments with bat coronavirus. The same year, the US government suspended funding to the lab due to their concern over risks of experimenting with bat coronavirus.
Meanwhile, the US State Department warned over safety standards at the Wuhan lab in a series of cables beginning in 2015, according to the Washington Post‘s Josh Rogin.
What’s more, while the Wuhan Institute of Virology is located around 20 miles from the wet market where roughly 40% of the original outbreaks occurred, China’s CDC is located roughly 900 feet away as the bat flies.
Again, this doesn’t take Matlock to solve.
“All other possible places of the virus’s origin have been proven to be highly unlikely,” the government document concludes – a copy of which was obtained by the Times.
Chinese authorities have said the origin of the virus is unknown but initially stated that it came from animals at a “wet market” in Wuhan where exotic meat is butchered and sold.

Patient Zero?
Another piece of evidence contained in the government memo is the disappearance of WIV lab worker Huang Yanling, who some suspect is “patient zero.”
“Huang worked at WIV but she is the only WIV employee whose biography, profile and picture have been deleted by WIV on its website, fueling speculation of foul play,” reads the report.
The institute, meanwhile, claims that Huang is healthy and left the institute to work in another province.
That said, “Huang herself has never appeared in public and she has since disappeared,” according to the report – which notes that China’s internet has been abuzz with speculation as to her whereabouts.
Amid the controversy, China has imposed restrictions on all publications regarding the origins of COVID-19, while many have claimed the virus couldn’t have come from the lab.
Yuan Zhiming, director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, stated publicly this month that “there is no way this virus came from us.” Edward Holmes, an evolutionary virologist at the University of Sydney in Australia, said there is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 in humans “originated in a laboratory in Wuhan, China.” He said the bat virus kept at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was sampled from a different province and that the genome sequence divergence between that virus, RaTG13, and SARS-CoV-2 “is equivalent to an average of 50 years (and at least 20 years) of evolutionary change.” “Hence, SARS-CoV-2 was not derived from RaTG13,” he wrote in a piece for the Science Media Center. -Washington Times

During this time, Zhou arranged for wild-caught bats to be transported alive by air from Queensland to the Australian Animal Health Laboratory in Victoria where they were euthanised for dissection and studied for deadly viruses. His work was funded jointly by the CSIRO and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It examined bat immunology and the role of interferons and how “bats are rich reservoirs for emerging viruses, including many that are highly pathogenic to humans and other mammals” and “many of which cause significant morbidity and mortality in humans and other mammals.” –Daily Telegraph
Western intelligence is also looking into Shi Zhengli, who also spent time in Australia as a visiting scientist from February 22 to May 21, 2016 – where she “used faecal samples of horseshoe bats to identify that they were the natural host for SARS-like coronaviruses,” according to the Telegraph report.

newswars--2020-04-29--New York vs Texas: NY Has Nearly 50 Times More COVID-19 Deaths Per Capita

As of April 26 , there were nearly 55,000 COVID-19 deaths reported in the United States .
Of those , more than 22,000 ( or about 40 percent ) were in the state of New York alone .
New Jersey was in second place , with nearly 5,900 COVID-19 deaths reported .
If we combine these two states , we find that a majority of COVID-19 deaths in the United States have come from them alone .
Combined , these two states accounted for more than 51 percent ( 28,213 ) of all deaths , while all other states combined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or 26,567 ) of deaths .
Measured in terms of deaths per 100,000 , New York ( 114 per 100,000 ) and New Jersey ( 66 per 100,000 ) also had the highest rates .
But New York had the worst rate by far .
New York ’ s number of deaths per 100,000 soars above those of all other states , is double that of Massachusetts , and is more than seven times those of Maryland and Pennsylvania .
The difference becomes even more stark as we move west and south .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ now 22 times as large as Florida ’ s and 25 times that of Alabama .
Many states now report total deaths per 100,000 that are one-thirtieth the size of New York ’ s toll .
Texas , for instance , reports total deaths numbering 2.3 per 100,000 .
The total in South Dakota , which has been much maligned for not imposing any statewide lockdowns , is 1.2 deaths per 100,000 .
Were New York a foreign country , the US ’ s total death rate from COVID-19 would be cut by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sort are made , however , many claim that all areas of the country will closely follow in New York ’ s footsteps unless ever more strict lockdown measures are taken immediately .
Indeed , we ’ ve been hearing for weeks that various states and regions are just “ two weeks behind New York ” in terms of COVID-19 infections and deaths .
For example , more than a month ago , the Philadelphia Inquirer on March 27 quoted one medical expert claiming : “ We anticipate we are no more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doubling every two to three days .
We had 46 confirmed cases last night .
You do the math.
” Also in Pennsylvania , a medical expert from Lehigh Valley on March 22 insisted that “ we are two weeks behind Manhattan in terms of spread and seriousness.
” On April 3 , Maryland governor Larry Hogan proclaimed that his state was “ about two weeks behind New York.
” Meanwhile , on April 1 WBHM reported that an Alabama health official had claimed : “ Birmingham is about two weeks behind New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Jefferson County , Alabama , where Birmingham sits , reports a death rate of 5 per 100,000 , or 4 percent the size of New York ’ s death rate .
When we note outlandishly incorrect predictions such as these , a common response from lockdown boosters is “ Well , social distancing prevented that !
” But did it ?
So far , there ’ s no empirical evidence even showing that social distancing works .
As T.J. Rodgers wrote in the Wall Street Journal this week , there is no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a muted number of deaths from COVID-19 : No conclusions can be drawn about the states that sheltered quickly , because their death rates ran the full gamut , from 20 per million in Oregon to 360 in New York .
This wide variation means that other variables—like population density or subway use—were more important .
Our correlation coefficient for per-capita death rates vs. the population density was 44 % .
That suggests New York City might have benefited from its shutdown—but blindly copying New York ’ s policies in places with low @ @ @ @ @ @ @ native Wisconsin , doesn ’ t make sense .
Similarly , political scientist Wilfred Reilly ran the numbers , taking into account factors such as population and population density .
He found no evidence “ that lockdowns are a more effective way of handling coronavirus than well-done social-distancing measures ” and concluded : The question the model set out to ask was whether lockdown states experience fewer Covid-19 cases and deaths than social-distancing states , adjusted for all of the above variables .
The answer ?
No .
The impact of state-response strategy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was utterly insignificant .
Moreover , the timing is less than convincing for the “ lockdowns worked !
” claims .
For example , in the case of Maryland , the governor claimed , “ we ’ re two weeks behind New York , ” even after a stay-at-home order was in place .
That is , his prediction assumed social distancing .
Nearly a month later , Hogan was clearly very wrong .
In Alabama , on the other hand , a statewide stay-at-home order did not come down until thirteen days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the New York lockdown .
Had Alabama truly been “ two weeks behind , ” it would have already been nearly comparable to New York in its death rate by the time the order was implemented .
Obviously , that didn ’ t happen .
The truth , of course , is that these statements by politicians and government “ experts ” were attempts to justify extreme government edicts that have created widespread unemployment , poverty , child abuse , and illness .
They are irresponsible scare tactics employed for political purposes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actual evidence or knowledge about the situation .
After all , these officials don ’ t even know the fatality rate of COVID-19 .
Now , it ’ s entirely possible that as time progresses later waves of illness could increase total deaths , and there may be some “ hot spots ” where there are serious strains on the medical infrastructure .
However , given the track record of the experts in predicting who is two weeks behind New York , it looks like it will only be a coincidence if these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ correct at some point .
Just as financial permabears often “ predict ten of the last two recessions , ” I have no doubt that many government-employed experts will predict twelve of the next three hot spots .
Meanwhile , thanks to these experts ’ recommendations , important medical procedures will be banned , people in need of medical care will be frightened into staying home , and food shortages may become a reality .
The real question we should be asking ourselves is why is New York is such a mess in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s deaths aren ’ t just high by US standards .
The state ’ s total deaths per 100,000 are higher than both Spain ’ s and Italy ’ s , both of which are considered to be among the most hard-hit countries on earth .
New York has reported nearly as many COVID-19 deaths as Spain ( 23,500 ) , even though Spain has a much larger population of 46 million .
New York is also only about 5,000 deaths behind Italy , even though Italy has a population three times the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , these numbers are so high that one wonders if deaths are even being counted properly , or if there is something about New York ’ s medical infrastructure that is especially inferior .
Perhaps New York is home to a particularly virulent strain of the disease .
Perhaps the disease was in circulation for far longer than the experts insist is the case .
The experts don ’ t know the answers to these questions .
Nor should we expect answers to these questions any time soon .
But what we do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of credibility to insist that South Dakota will soon be New York if it doesn ’ t impose similar lockdown measures .
This doesn ’ t mean that no caution is warranted , or that high-risk populations should neglect social-distancing measures .
But the claims that we ’ re all “ two weeks behind New York ” are neither accurate nor helpful .

As of April 26, there were nearly 55,000 COVID-19 deaths reported in the United States. Of those, more than 22,000 (or about 40 percent) were in the state of New York alone. New Jersey was in second place, with nearly 5,900 COVID-19 deaths reported.
If we combine these two states, we find that a majority of COVID-19 deaths in the United States have come from them alone. Combined, these two states accounted for more than 51 percent (28,213) of all deaths, while all other states combined made up less than 48.5 percent (or 26,567) of deaths.
Measured in terms of deaths per 100,000, New York (114 per 100,000) and New Jersey (66 per 100,000) also had the highest rates. But New York had the worst rate by far.
New York’s number of deaths per 100,000 soars above those of all other states, is double that of Massachusetts, and is more than seven times those of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
The difference becomes even more stark as we move west and south. New York’s death rate is now 22 times as large as Florida’s and 25 times that of Alabama.
Many states now report total deaths per 100,000 that are one-thirtieth the size of New York’s toll. Texas, for instance, reports total deaths numbering 2.3 per 100,000. The total in South Dakota, which has been much maligned for not imposing any statewide lockdowns, is 1.2 deaths per 100,000.
Were New York a foreign country, the US’s total death rate from COVID-19 would be cut by 36 percent:
Whenever comparisons of this sort are made, however, many claim that all areas of the country will closely follow in New York’s footsteps unless ever more strict lockdown measures are taken immediately.
Indeed, we’ve been hearing for weeks that various states and regions are just “two weeks behind New York” in terms of COVID-19 infections and deaths.
For example, more than a month ago, the Philadelphia Inquirer on March 27 quoted one medical expert claiming: “We anticipate we are no more than two weeks behind New York City….Cases are doubling every two to three days. We had 46 confirmed cases last night. You do the math.”
Also in Pennsylvania, a medical expert from Lehigh Valley on March 22 insisted that “we are two weeks behind Manhattan in terms of spread and seriousness.”
On April 3, Maryland governor Larry Hogan proclaimed that his state was “about two weeks behind New York.”
Meanwhile, on April 1 WBHM reported that an Alabama health official had claimed: “Birmingham is about two weeks behind New York City.” Nearly a month later, Jefferson County, Alabama, where Birmingham sits, reports a death rate of 5 per 100,000, or 4 percent the size of New York’s death rate.
When we note outlandishly incorrect predictions such as these, a common response from lockdown boosters is “Well, social distancing prevented that!”
But did it?
So far, there’s no empirical evidence even showing that social distancing works. As T.J. Rodgers wrote in the Wall Street Journal this week, there is no correlation between government-forced “shutdowns” and a muted number of deaths from COVID-19:
No conclusions can be drawn about the states that sheltered quickly, because their death rates ran the full gamut, from 20 per million in Oregon to 360 in New York. This wide variation means that other variables—like population density or subway use—were more important. Our correlation coefficient for per-capita death rates vs. the population density was 44%. That suggests New York City might have benefited from its shutdown—but blindly copying New York’s policies in places with low Covid-19 death rates, such as my native Wisconsin, doesn’t make sense.
Similarly, political scientist Wilfred Reilly ran the numbers, taking into account factors such as population and population density. He found no evidence “that lockdowns are a more effective way of handling coronavirus than well-done social-distancing measures” and concluded:
The question the model set out to ask was whether lockdown states experience fewer Covid-19 cases and deaths than social-distancing states, adjusted for all of the above variables. The answer? No. The impact of state-response strategy on both my cases and deaths measures was utterly insignificant.
Moreover, the timing is less than convincing for the “lockdowns worked!” claims. For example, in the case of Maryland, the governor claimed, “we’re two weeks behind New York,” even after a stay-at-home order was in place. That is, his prediction assumed social distancing. Nearly a month later, Hogan was clearly very wrong.
In Alabama, on the other hand, a statewide stay-at-home order did not come down until thirteen days (i.e., nearly two weeks) after the New York lockdown. Had Alabama truly been “two weeks behind,” it would have already been nearly comparable to New York in its death rate by the time the order was implemented. Obviously, that didn’t happen.
The truth, of course, is that these statements by politicians and government “experts” were attempts to justify extreme government edicts that have created widespread unemployment, poverty, child abuse, and illness. They are irresponsible scare tactics employed for political purposes, and were never based on any actual evidence or knowledge about the situation. After all, these officials don’t even know the fatality rate of COVID-19.
Now, it’s entirely possible that as time progresses later waves of illness could increase total deaths, and there may be some “hot spots” where there are serious strains on the medical infrastructure. However, given the track record of the experts in predicting who is two weeks behind New York, it looks like it will only be a coincidence if these predictions of New York–like death rates prove correct at some point. Just as financial permabears often “predict ten of the last two recessions,” I have no doubt that many government-employed experts will predict twelve of the next three hot spots. Meanwhile, thanks to these experts’ recommendations, important medical procedures will be banned, people in need of medical care will be frightened into staying home, and food shortages may become a reality.
The real question we should be asking ourselves is why is New York is such a mess in terms of COVID-19? New York’s deaths aren’t just high by US standards. The state’s total deaths per 100,000 are higher than both Spain’s and Italy’s, both of which are considered to be among the most hard-hit countries on earth. New York has reported nearly as many COVID-19 deaths as Spain (23,500), even though Spain has a much larger population of 46 million. New York is also only about 5,000 deaths behind Italy, even though Italy has a population three times the size of New York State.
Indeed, these numbers are so high that one wonders if deaths are even being counted properly, or if there is something about New York’s medical infrastructure that is especially inferior. Perhaps New York is home to a particularly virulent strain of the disease. Perhaps the disease was in circulation for far longer than the experts insist is the case. The experts don’t know the answers to these questions.
Nor should we expect answers to these questions any time soon. But what we do know is that it strains the bounds of credibility to insist that South Dakota will soon be New York if it doesn’t impose similar lockdown measures. This doesn’t mean that no caution is warranted, or that high-risk populations should neglect social-distancing measures. But the claims that we’re all “two weeks behind New York” are neither accurate nor helpful.


newswars--2020-04-29--UK: 18,000 Extra Cancer Deaths Could Happen Within a Year Because of Focus on COVID-19

A new study concludes that there could be 18,000 extra cancer deaths in the UK within a year because victims are not able to get screenings and treatment due to the focus on COVID-19 .
“ Delays in diagnosing and treating cancer could hurt the survival chances of thousands of people across England , joint research by University College London ( UCL ) and the Health Data Research Hub for Cancer ( DATA-CAN ) suggests , ” reports RT .
“ Scientists analyzed data from more than 3.5 million patients and discovered that the Covid-19 outbreak could indirectly lead to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a year , including 6,270 fatal cases in newly diagnosed cancer patients.
” The study discovered an 76 per cent average drop in early cancer diagnosis referrals and a chemotherapy attendance reduction of 60 per cent in England .
Cancer patients are avoiding hospitals partly due to fears over catching COVID-19 and partly because they were told health workers would be “ overwhelmed ” by coronavirus , something that never happened .
Indeed , acute hospital beds in the UK are four times emptier than normal and overspill hospitals are being being used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are also routinely waiting 2 hours for an ambulance to arrive while 2,300 cancer diagnoses are being missed each week because they are not being referred for urgent scans and tests .
As we previously highlighted , Richard Sullivan , professor of cancer at Kings College , London , also warned that excess cancer deaths could eventually outstrip COVID-19 deaths .
“ The number of deaths due to the disruption of cancer services is likely to outweigh the number of deaths from the coronavirus itself over the next five years , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of cancer care will cause considerable avoidable suffering , ” said Sullivan .
“ Cancer screening services have stopped , which means we will miss our chance to catch many cancers when they are treatable and curable , such as cervical , bowel and breast.

A report was received by the Chinese parliament last October, detailing 8 points where safety needed to be upgraded:
1) The prevention and control of major emerging infectious diseases, animal and plant epidemics. 2) Research, development and application of biotechnology. 3) Ensuring biosecurity in laboratories. 4) Ensuring the security of China’s biological resources and human genetic resources. 5) Preventing the invasion of alien species and protect biodiversity. 6) Dealing with microbial drug resistance. 7) Preventing bioterrorism attacks. 8) Defending against the threat of biological weapons.

newswars--2020-04-30--The Economic Numbers That Are Coming Are “Going To Be The Worst In The Post-World War II Era”

We just witnessed the largest quarterly GDP decline since the last financial crisis , and experts are warning that the figure for the second quarter will be far , far worse .
In fact , as you will see below , one expert is telling us to brace ourselves for the worst economic numbers “ in the post-World War II era ” .
On an annualized basis , U.S. GDP fell by 4.8 percent during the first quarter , and that was a bit worse than most economists were projecting .
And economists were also surprised that consumer spending was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down 8.6 percent during January , February and March .
Under normal circumstances , those would be absolutely horrible numbers , but these are not normal circumstances .
But with every acceleration of evil , there ’ s an acceleration of good to counter it .
Learn how to take part in the latter !
Watch and share this bombshell broadcast as we reveal how globalists are exploiting the coronavirus pandemic to usher in their decades-long agendas of total population control .
Yes , January and February were relatively normal , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is why these numbers are so dismal .
Unfortunately , it looks like the economic numbers for the second quarter are going to be much more depressing .
One economist that was interviewed by the New York Times believes that they will actually be the worst that our nation has seen since the end of the Second World War… And at this point even the Trump administration is publicly admitting that the economic numbers are going to start getting really , really bad .
On Monday , Kevin Hassett actually told CNBC that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 30 percent on an annualized basis during the second quarter… But we don ’ t have to wait until three months from now for numbers that are truly horrific .
On Wednesday , we learned that U.S. home sales in March were down by double digits in every region on the country… Some states are attempting to gradually “ reopen ” their economies , and that is good news .
But the bad news is that officials are telling us that all of the restrictions in big states such as California and New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months from now , and that is going to greatly depress economic activity for the foreseeable future .
With economic activity so low , companies all over America are laying off workers at a staggering rate .
More than 26 million Americans have lost their jobs so far , and the layoffs just keep on rolling .
For example , we just learned that Uber is planning to let thousands of employees go… Of course it isn ’ t just the United States that is facing an unprecedented unemployment crisis .
According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ half of all the workers in the world “ are in immediate danger of losing their livelihoods ” … This is one of the biggest reasons why lockdowns all over the globe need to be ended as quickly as possible .
If people are not allowed to make a living , they aren ’ t going to have anything to feed their families .
Even in the United States , we have already seen an explosion of need that is absolutely shocking .
All over the country , people have been lining up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ local food banks are able to give them , and we witnessed more examples of this growing phenomenon on Tuesday… If things are this bad already , what is this nation going to look like as we get even deeper into “ the perfect storm ” ?

Of course fear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our economy right now , and that is not going to end any time soon .
So we should expect really dismal economic numbers for the foreseeable future , and it appears exceedingly unlikely that there will be any sort of a turnaround before the election in November .
America ’ s next economic depression has begun , and it is going to be really , really painful .

On an annualized basis, U.S. GDP fell by 4.8 percent during the first quarter, and that was a bit worse than most economists were projecting.
And economists were also surprised that consumer spending was down 7.6 percent and business investment was down 8.6 percent during January, February and March.

But with every acceleration of evil, there’s an acceleration of good to counter it. Learn how to take part in the latter! Watch and share this bombshell broadcast as we reveal how globalists are exploiting the coronavirus pandemic to usher in their decades-long agendas of total population control.
Yes, January and February were relatively normal, but the coronavirus shutdowns began in March and that is why these numbers are so dismal.
Unfortunately, it looks like the economic numbers for the second quarter are going to be much more depressing.
One economist that was interviewed by the New York Times believes that they will actually be the worst that our nation has seen since the end of the Second World War…
“They’re going to be the worst in our lifetime,” Dan North, chief economist for the credit insurance company Euler Hermes North America, said of the second-quarter figures. “They’re going to be the worst in the post-World War II era.”
And at this point even the Trump administration is publicly admitting that the economic numbers are going to start getting really, really bad. On Monday, Kevin Hassett actually told CNBC that U.S. GDP could fall by up to 30 percent on an annualized basis during the second quarter…
On Monday morning, the White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett warned the second quarter could reflect a 20 to 30 percent decline – something that has not been seen since the 1930s Great Depression. ‘You’re looking at something like minus 20 percent to minus 30 percent in the second quarter. It’s a very grave shock and it’s something we need to take seriously,’ he told CNBC.
But we don’t have to wait until three months from now for numbers that are truly horrific.
On Wednesday, we learned that U.S. home sales in March were down by double digits in every region on the country…
Signed contracts to purchase existing homes, referred to as pending home sales, fell 20.8% compared with February and were 16.3% lower annually, according to the National Association of Realtors. Regionally, pending sales fell 14.5% in the Northeast for the month and were 11% lower than a year ago. In the Midwest, sales decreased 22% monthly and 12.4% annually. In the South sales dropped 19.5% for the week and 17.8% annually, and in the West they fell 26.8% weekly and 21.5% compared with a year ago.
Some states are attempting to gradually “reopen” their economies, and that is good news.
But the bad news is that officials are telling us that all of the restrictions in big states such as California and New York will not be lifted until many months from now, and that is going to greatly depress economic activity for the foreseeable future.
With economic activity so low, companies all over America are laying off workers at a staggering rate. More than 26 million Americans have lost their jobs so far, and the layoffs just keep on rolling. For example, we just learned that Uber is planning to let thousands of employees go…
Executives at Uber are discussing plans to cut around 20% of the company’s employees, as it copes with a sharp decline in its ride-hailing business due to the coronavirus pandemic, reports The Information. Layoffs of that magnitude, which haven’t been finalized but could be announced in stages in the coming weeks, could result in more than 5,400 of Uber’s 27,000 employees losing their jobs.
Of course it isn’t just the United States that is facing an unprecedented unemployment crisis.
According to the International Labour Organization, close to half of all the workers in the world “are in immediate danger of losing their livelihoods”…
Some 1.6 billion workers in the informal economy, representing nearly half of the global labour force, are in immediate danger of losing their livelihoods due to the coronavirus pandemic, the International Labour Organization (ILO) said on Wednesday. The U.N. agency’s latest report sharply raised its forecast for the devastating impact on jobs and incomes of the COVID-19 disease, which has infected more than 3.1 million people globally, killed nearly 220,000 and shut down economies.
This is one of the biggest reasons why lockdowns all over the globe need to be ended as quickly as possible. If people are not allowed to make a living, they aren’t going to have anything to feed their families.
Even in the United States, we have already seen an explosion of need that is absolutely shocking. All over the country, people have been lining up for miles to get whatever food that local food banks are able to give them, and we witnessed more examples of this growing phenomenon on Tuesday…
Masses of cars waited in line for the drive-thru food giveaway in Pico Rivera, California, as volunteers sporting face masks, gloves and high-vis jackets helped dish out supplies. Over in Prospect, vehicles were seen snaking through the Big Butler Fairgrounds. It comes as millions of people across America lose their jobs amid the coronavirus pandemic and households have been thrown into turmoil.
If things are this bad already, what is this nation going to look like as we get even deeper into “the perfect storm”?
In recent days I have been writing quite a bit about the coming “meat shortage” that the mainstream media has been warning about, and now we are being told that a serious shortage of boneless chicken is already upon us…
Goodbye, boneless chicken. Food retailers across North America are swapping boneless chicken legs for less popular thighs and drumsticks as a wave of shutdowns at meatpacking plants has reduced supplies of sought-after cuts.
As I discussed yesterday, President Trump has decided to order meat processing facilities that were closed down because of COVID-19 to reopen, and many are hoping that this move will put a quick end to the shortages.
But on Wednesday the mainstream media was full of stories about how meat processing workers may decide to defy President Trump and refuse to go back to work…
Meat-processing plant workers are concerned about President Donald Trump’s executive order that compels plants to remain open during the coronavirus pandemic. Meat plant employees are among America’s most vulnerable workers, and some say they expect staff will refuse to come to work. “All I know is, this is crazy to me, because I can’t see all these people going back into work,” said Donald, who works at Tyson’s Waterloo, Iowa, facility. “I don’t think people are going to go back in there.”
If fear of COVID-19 keeps a substantial percentage of workers from returning to their jobs, that could cause the emerging meat shortages to get even worse in the weeks ahead.
Of course fear of the coronavirus is paralyzing many sectors of our economy right now, and that is not going to end any time soon.
So we should expect really dismal economic numbers for the foreseeable future, and it appears exceedingly unlikely that there will be any sort of a turnaround before the election in November.
America’s next economic depression has begun, and it is going to be really, really painful.


newswars--2020-04-30--Report: Dr Fauci Backed Wuhan Lab Doing ‘Crazy’ Coronavirus Research

Newsweek has highlighted that the Chinese Scientists who were said to have been doing ‘ crazy ’ things with coronavirus in the Wuhan Institute of Virology , were funded by the White House senior health advisor Dr Anthony Fauci just last year .
The report notes that in 2019 Fauci , as head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) , backed the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) funding commitment of $ 3.7 million for a further six years of research on bat coronaviruses in the Chinese lab .
The report also noted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the lab in order to gauge the potential for infection in humans .
The funding , which has now been halted by the Trump administration , was in addition to the previous $ 3.7 million provided to the Chinese lab between 2014-2019 .
Therefore , a total of $ 7.4 million had been provided for the Chinese coronavirus research , according to the report .
According to Rutgers University infectious disease expert Richard Ebright , the description of the research indicates that experiments were being carried out that would “ enhance the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cells and laboratory animals using techniques of genetic engineering.

newswars--2020-04-30--Video From 2018 Shows Chinese Scientists Working On Coronavirus In Wuhan Lab

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has ordered 100,000 more ‘human remain pouches’ in preparation for a second wave of coronavirus, expected to hit in the fall, as more than a million cases and 60,000 death were confirmed in the US.
The order for the body bags, costing $5.1 million, was made last week, coming only weeks after a previous order for 100,000 body bags in a contract with the DoD.
A FEMA spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal that the order represents preparation for a “worst possible case national scenario”.
“In order to meet the worst-case demand models, FEMA initiated a broad range of acquisition contracts to augment available stocks and produce more human-remains pouches for future requirements should they be needed,” the statement read.

Orange County is at the center of the controversy, since it has not closed its beaches, unlike Los Angeles County. Over the last weekend, warm temperatures in Southern California drove many people to seek relief at the coast. Some were reported to have been lax in observing “social distancing” protocols.
Newsom scolded beachgoers in a press conference on Monday, saying that they were undermining the state’s fight against the coronavirus pandemic and endangering plans to reopen the economy.

“What The F**k”: In Expletive-Laced Rant, Elon Musk Blasts “Fascist, Undemocratic” Shelter-In-Place Orders

It has been almost exactly two years since Elon Musk ’ s infamous conference call meltdown when the Tesla CEO snapped at RBC analyst Joseph Spak for asking “ boring bonehead questions ” during the Q1 2018 earnings call .
Today , Musk did it again only this time instead of raging at a “ bonehead ” question , the notoriously volatile CEO went off on a bizarre tirade , hammering an issue he has expressed substantial displeasure with in recent days : the inability to open up the Tesla Fremont factory Calilfornia ’ s shelter-in-place orders .
Just hours @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Donald Trump impression to date , screaming “ FREE AMERICA NOW ” clearly displeased with the ongoing state of affairs in the US virus-stricken nation… … Elon held the Tesla earnings call where toward the end , increasingly angry , Musk unleashed a 5-minute rant complete with an f-bomb in which the CEO doubled down on his stance against the shelter-in-place orders that have gripped the United States economy in recent weeks , warning that the factory shutdowns are a “ serious risk ” to the electric automaker ’ s business .
Savanah @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all of the fake projections , hypotheticals and “ facts ” that the media has been using to keep America locked down .
Kaitlin Bennett and Elijah Schaffer also join the show to discuss nationwide protests and if we can compare the coronavirus to the flu .
Frank Cavanagh also pops in to take calls and discuss the real virus plaguing our nation , fear .
“ It will cause great harm , not just to Tesla , but to many companies , ” Musk said on the call .
“ And while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are many companies that will not .
Everything people have worked for their whole life is being destroyed in real time.
” “ It ’ s breaking people ’ s freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong and not why they came to America or built this country .
What the fuck .
Excuse me .
Outrage .
Outrage.
” “ Frankly , I would call it forcible imprisoning of people in their homes against all of , their constitutional rights , in my opinion ” he said , and then slammed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ businesses as undemocratic and downright “ fascist.
” “ If somebody wants to stay in their house , that ’ s great and they should be able to , ” he said .
“ But to say that they can not leave their house and they will be arrested if they do , this is fascist .
This is not democratic , this is not freedom , give people back their goddamn freedom.
” Of course , neither the California or federal shelter-in-place guidelines penalize those who go outside with arrest .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ the people are going to be very angry about this and are very angry.
” What he meant is that he is angry because orders prevent Tesla from building cars at the Fremont facility while the shelter in place order is active .
The billionaire first said panic about the coronavirus “ is dumb ” on March 6 , as the US first began reporting cases that have now topped 1 million .
His eagerness to return back to business reemerged on March 19 when he said that “ based on current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases in US too by end of April.
” Then on Tuesday , hours before today ’ s TSLA earnings call Musk escalated his complaints on Twitter , and just as he yelled at someone to “ FREE AMERICA NOW ” , he praised Texas ’ relaxation of rules starting Friday .
The irony , of course , is that Musk is calling the US government response to COVID-19 “ fascist ” while not only not criticizing but praising China on the same day he held a private conference call with the Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same China which put hundreds of millions of people into forced quarantine , and those who violated the non-stop curfew “ disappeared ” forever .
The even bigger irony is that Musk could care less about US freedoms and what is democratic or fascist , when all he is truly raging about is the forced shuttering of his Fremont auto plant which he has repeatedly violated city ordinances just to keep running – while putting workers ’ lived in jeopardy – in hopes of beating Wall Street estimates , just so he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 100 billion entitling him to a $ 720 million payout .

… Elon held the Tesla earnings call where toward the end, increasingly angry, Musk unleashed a 5-minute rant complete with an f-bomb in which the CEO doubled down on his stance against the shelter-in-place orders that have gripped the United States economy in recent weeks, warning that the factory shutdowns are a “serious risk” to the electric automaker’s business.

“It will cause great harm, not just to Tesla, but to many companies,” Musk said on the call. “And while Tesla will weather the storm, there are many companies that will not. Everything people have worked for their whole life is being destroyed in real time.”
“It’s breaking people’s freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong and not why they came to America or built this country. What the fuck. Excuse me. Outrage. Outrage.”
