House Democrats have introduced legislation that would undo President Trump ’ s travel bans from coronavirus stricken areas , despite the fact that the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) has said that the impact of the crisis would be much worse had the travel bans on China and Iran not been in place .

The legislation vaguely says that Trump should only be able to “ issue a restriction when required to address a compelling government interest.

” Democratic Presidential contender Bernie Sanders also said this week that he would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus crisis .
The action flies in the face of advice from Dr. Anthony Fauci , director of the NIAID , who told lawmakers during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing Wednesday that “ I believe we would be in a worse position , ” had such travel bans not been imposed by Trump .
“ Whenever you look at the history of outbreaks , what you see now in an uncontained way and although we are containing it in some respects , we keep getting people coming into the country that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that in many of the states that are now involved.
” Fauci said .
“ We will see more cases and things will get worse than they are right now .
How much worse they get will depend on our ability to do two things : To contain the influx of people who are infected coming from the outside and the ability to contain and mitigate within our own country .
Bottom line , it ’ s going to get worse.
” he added .
Fauci ’ s comments regarding travel restrictions have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Medicine , which recently reported : “ At least on a temporary basis , such restrictions may have helped slow the spread of the virus.

House Democrats have introduced legislation that would undo President Trump’s travel bans from coronavirus stricken areas, despite the fact that the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has said that the impact of the crisis would be much worse had the travel bans on China and Iran not been in place.
Democrats want to strip the President of the authority to implement the bans, introducing a bill titled the “No Ban Act,” which would allow travellers from Wuhan and other infected areas to keep arriving in the US unimpeded.
“This bill imposes limitations on the President’s authority to suspend or restrict aliens from entering the United States and terminates certain presidential actions implementing such restrictions,” the bill summary reads.
The legislation vaguely says that Trump should only be able to “issue a restriction when required to address a compelling government interest.”
The bill further declares that before any travel ban is imposed, the President would be mandated to “consult with Congress.”
Democratic Presidential contender Bernie Sanders also said this week that he would not impose any travel bans during the coronavirus crisis.
The action flies in the face of advice from Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the NIAID, who told lawmakers during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing Wednesday that “I believe we would be in a worse position,” had such travel bans not been imposed by Trump.
“Whenever you look at the history of outbreaks, what you see now in an uncontained way and although we are containing it in some respects, we keep getting people coming into the country that are travel-related, we’ve seen that in many of the states that are now involved.” Fauci said.
“We will see more cases and things will get worse than they are right now. How much worse they get will depend on our ability to do two things: To contain the influx of people who are infected coming from the outside and the ability to contain and mitigate within our own country. Bottom line, it’s going to get worse.” he added.
Fauci’s comments regarding travel restrictions have been echoed by The New England Journal of Medicine, which recently reported: “At least on a temporary basis, such restrictions may have helped slow the spread of the virus.”
Trump extended the travel ban Wednesday night to most of Europe (but not the UK) for at least 30 days.
“The European Union failed to take the same precautions and restrict travel from China and other hot spots,” the president said, adding “As a result, a large number of new clusters in the United States were seeded by travelers from Europe”.
Trump’s words, and the announcement of the travel restriction drew anger from some European officials, who reportedly described it as “unbelievable” and “very strange.”
Taking an emergency such as the #Coronavirus epidemic as another opportunity to wage his personal war against #China and the #EU … that says everything! — Alessandro Motta (@MottaIT) March 12, 2020
Any attempt to contain the #CoronaOutbreak is welcome, but the decision of @realDonaldTrump to exclude the UK from a European travel ban is nothing short of irresponsible. Viruses do not recognise borders. Decisions should be based on facts, not politics. — Alexander Stubb (@alexstubb) March 12, 2020
The European Commission and Council issued a joint statement declaring that “The European Union disapproves of the fact that the US decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation.”
“The Coronavirus is a global crisis, not limited to any continent and it requires cooperation rather than unilateral action.” the statement continued.
Trump was unwavering in his belief that his administration can mitigate the spread of the virus:
I am fully prepared to use the full power of the Federal Government to deal with our current challenge of the CoronaVirus! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 11, 2020
….Together we are putting into policy a plan to prevent, detect, treat and create a vaccine against CoronaVirus to save lives in America and the world. America will get it done! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 11, 2020
Someone needs to tell the Democrats in Congress that CoronaVirus doesn’t care what party you are in. We need to protect ALL Americans! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 11, 2020

newswars--2020-03-12--Health Experts Slam “Wooden” UK Coronavirus Response: ‘Playing Roulette With People’s Lives’

Several health experts have eviscerated the UK government ’ s sluggish response to the coronavirus outbreak , charging that measures only now being taken should have been implemented a month ago .
Richard Horton , the editor of the Lancet Medical Journal accused the British government of “ playing roulette ” with people ’ s lives by not implementing “ social distancing and closure policies ” sooner .
Meanwhile , Professor John Ashton , a former director of Public Health England slammed the government ’ s response as “ complacent ” .
“ I ’ m tearing my hair out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ urged , adding that the action taken “ feels wooden and academic , and we ’ ve wasted a month when we should have been engaging with the public.
” “ If this now spreads the way it looks likely to spread , there will not be enough hospital beds and people will have to be nursed at home .
We should have gotten a grip on this a month ago , ” Ashton raged in a BBC interview .
Ashton slammed the lack of testing of people who have returned from virus-stricken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know why we are not testing , why we haven ’ t tested those people coming back from Italy and who are now amongst us .
We ’ ve got a recipe for community spread here.

Several health experts have eviscerated the UK government’s sluggish response to the coronavirus outbreak, charging that measures only now being taken should have been implemented a month ago.
Richard Horton, the editor of the Lancet Medical Journal accused the British government of “playing roulette” with people’s lives by not implementing “social distancing and closure policies” sooner.
The UK government’s decision not to move to “delay” may be understandable, but it’s a mistake. As one UK expert epidemiologist put it to me last night, their decision is “very disappointing—the UK should have moved to more aggressive social distancing measures immediately.” — richard horton (@richardhorton1) March 10, 2020
Meanwhile, Professor John Ashton, a former director of Public Health England slammed the government’s response as “complacent”.
“We’ve got a complacent attitude… & we’ve wasted a month.

“I’m tearing my hair out really, with this,” Ashton urged, adding that the action taken “feels wooden and academic, and we’ve wasted a month when we should have been engaging with the public.”
“If this now spreads the way it looks likely to spread, there will not be enough hospital beds and people will have to be nursed at home. We should have gotten a grip on this a month ago,” Ashton raged in a BBC interview.

Videos have shown people returning from Italy and other European countries just walking straight through British airports with zero checks in place.
It’s a similar story throughout Western Europe where borders have remained open as normal and people have been effectively allowed to spread the virus unhindered.
Ashton previously accused prime minister Boris Johnson of treating the British public “like children”.
“What the COBR should have been doing, with the chief medical officer alongside and the advisors is on a day-to-day basis taking stock and looking ahead, looking round corners, seeing what’s coming next and taking the public on that journey.” he asserted.
The British government is expected to announce more stringent lockdown orders this afternoon, but it may all be too little too late.

A ticket company is telling customers who buy massively discounted seats for Broadway shows that they may have to turn up wearing Hazmat suits in order to avoid being infected with the coronavirus .

Trump asked about interacting with infected Brazilian official: “We did nothing very unusual. We sat next to each other for a period of time. … Let’s put it this way: I’m not concerned.” Live updates: https://t.co/epiRGdacwP pic.twitter.com/gWMmYaehp2 — JM Rieger (@RiegerReport) March 12, 2020

According to a report by Aviation Week, DARPA’s Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program will develop AI algorithms that automate such combat and even test them in “a modeling and simulation environment.”
The report also explains that dogfighting is not very difficult to automate. Rather, the challenge lies in getting the pilot to trust the automation.
“ACE will develop methods of modeling and measuring trust, including crosscheck ratio – essentially how often the pilot grabs the stick to counteract the automation,” the report explains.
The first contract to develop the technology, which is known as Technical Area (TA) 3 of the project and is worth $10.6 million, has been awarded to Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works division, which consists of a team of engineers and scientists working to “solve the most critical national security issues.”
The other technical areas of the project are TA1, the development of algorithms for “local combat autonomy”; TA2, which consists of “building trust in those local behaviors”; and TA4, which is “integrating those algorithms into full-scale aircraft,” Aviation Week reported. The contracts for those technical areas have yet to be awarded.

Internet users in the United States took a sudden interest in “bidets,” according to Google, in the wake of toilet paper panic buys affecting the entire country.
As news of the coronavirus’ spread prompted doomsday prepping which quizzically led to toilet paper selling out in stores across the nation, many proposed the bidet, widely used in Europe, as a preferred alternative.
This led to internet users frantically turning to Google to answer questions like, “are bidets healthy?” and “what are bidets used for,” while others appeared to want to purchase the sanitary item, inquiring “best bidets.”
Queries for the search term “bidet” saw a spike Thursday night, according to the Google Trends analytics tool, with the term still being searched as of Friday afternoon.
As toilet paper continues to sell out due to its popularity as a panic-buy shopping item, one wonders what other alternatives will emerge as Coronavirus worries intensify?

“To ensure that the state of Texas and our cities and counties are fully capable to prepare and respond to COVID-19, I am at this moment declaring a state disaster for all counties in the state of Texas,” Governor Abbott stated.
The order, currently set to last 30 days, mandates day cares, elderly care facilities and prisons limit visitations as the state attempts to contain the virus.

With coronavirus pandemic dominating the world’s attention, it’s easy to forget that the US is essentially in a state of war with Iran, just Thursday night conducting a major aerial bombing campaign against multiple Iran-backed militia targets across southern Iraq.
In response to prior rocket attacks on Camp Taji which killed two Americans on Wednesday the Pentagon declared that “all options are on the table” — suggesting there could be more strikes to come.
The Pentagon said it initiated a “proportional” response against five Kata’ib Hezbollah weapons facilities.
Iraq’s government immediately condemned the attacks as not only unauthorized violations of its airspace, but as having killed and wounded several Iraqi security force personnel.
Top US forces general in the region, Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, brushed Baghdad’s condemnation aside, essentially saying it was Iraqi forces’ fault for being there. Many officers in the Iraqi Army essentially see Khatib Hezbollah as a de facto extension of national forces.
Reuters reports:
“Iraq condemned overnight U.S. air strikes on Friday, saying they killed six people and warning of dangerous consequences for what it called a violation of sovereignty and targeted aggression against the nation’s regular armed forces.”
The foreign ministry further summoned the US and UK ambassadors following the attacks. But the Pentagon is not backing down.
“These locations that we struck are clear locations of terrorist bases,” McKenzie said Friday. When asked about Iraq’s fierce response, he said, “If Iraqi military forces are there, I would say it’s probably not a good idea to position yourself with Khatib Hezbollah in the wake of a strike that killed Americans and Coalition members.”
Meanwhile, the Pentagon is moving Patriot air defense missile systems into Iraq to better defensed US personnel against any potential Iranian strike, even at a moment when Tehran’s real focus remains on combating the deadlier Covid-19 outbreak in its midst.
It was also reported Friday that Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has agreed to keep two aircraft carriers in the Gulf region “for a period of time”. They’ve been identified as the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and the USS Harry S. Truman.

newswars--2020-03-13--Buchanan: Will Coronavirus Kill the New World Order?

Dr. Brian Monahan , attending physician of Congress , told a closed meeting of Senate staffers this week that 70 million to 150 million Americans – a third of the nation – could contract the coronavirus .
Dr. Anthony Fauci testified that the mortality rate for COVID-19 will likely run near 1 % .
Translation : Between 750,000 and 1.1 million Americans may die of this disease before it runs its course .
The latter figure is equal to all the U.S. dead in World War II and on both sides in the Civil War .
Chancellor Angela Merkel warns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ population – 58 million people – could contract the coronavirus .
If she is right , and Fauci ’ s mortality rate holds for her country , that could mean more than half a million dead Germans .
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis called Merkel ’ s remark “ unhelpful ” and said it could cause panic .
But Harvard epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch seemed to support Merkel , saying between 40 % and 70 % of the world ’ s population could become infected .
RELATED : THINK TANK COMPLAINS “ CORONAVIRUS IS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ After analyzing various vectors the corona-virus has taken , and looking at the hysteria being amplified and promoted by the mainstream media…

Dr. Brian Monahan, attending physician of Congress, told a closed meeting of Senate staffers this week that 70 million to 150 million Americans — a third of the nation — could contract the coronavirus. Dr. Anthony Fauci testified that the mortality rate for COVID-19 will likely run near 1%.
Translation: Between 750,000 and 1.1 million Americans may die of this disease before it runs its course. The latter figure is equal to all the U.S. dead in World War II and on both sides in the Civil War.
Chancellor Angela Merkel warns that 70% of Germany’s population — 58 million people — could contract the coronavirus. If she is right, and Fauci’s mortality rate holds for her country, that could mean more than half a million dead Germans.
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis called Merkel’s remark “unhelpful” and said it could cause panic. But Harvard epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch seemed to support Merkel, saying between 40% and 70% of the world’s population could become infected.
Again, if Fauci’s 1% mortality rate and Lipsitch’s estimate prove on target, between 3 billion and 5 billion people on earth will be infected, and 30 million to 50 million will die, a death toll greater than that of the Spanish Flu of 1918.
There is, however, some contradictory news.
China, with 81,000 cases, has noted a deceleration in new cases and South Korea appears to be gradually containing the spread of the virus.
Yet, Italy, with its large elderly population, may be a harbinger of what is to come in the West.
As of Thursday, Italy had reported 12,000 cases and 827 deaths, a mortality rate of nearly 7%. This suggests that the unreported and undetected infections in shutdown Italy are far more numerous.
In the U.S., the death toll at this writing is 39, a tiny fraction of the annual toll of tens of thousands who die of the flu.
But the problem is this: COVID-19 has not nearly run its course in the USA, while the reaction in society and the economy approaches what we might expect from a boiling national disaster.
The stock market has plunged further and faster than it did in the Great Crash of 1929. Trillions of dollars in wealth have vanished. If Sen. Bernie Sanders does not like “millionaires and billionaires,” he should be pleased. There are far fewer of them today than there were when he won the New Hampshire primary.
What does the future hold?
It may one day be said that the coronavirus delivered the deathblow to the New World Order, to a half-century of globalization, and to the era of interdependence of the world’s great nations.
Tourism, air travel, vacation cruises, international gatherings and festivals are already shutting down. Travel bans between countries and continents are being imposed. Conventions, concerts and sporting events are being canceled. Will the Tokyo Olympics go forward? If they do, will all the anticipated visitors from abroad come to Japan to enjoy the games?
Trump has issued a one-month travel ban on Europe.
As for the “open borders” crowd, do Democrats still believe that breaking into our country should no longer be a crime, and immigrants arriving illegally should be given free health care, a proposition to which all the Democratic debaters raised their hands?
The ideological roots of our free trade era can be traced to the mid-19th century when its great evangelist, Richard Cobden, rose at Free Trade Hall in Manchester on Jan. 15, 1846, and rhapsodized:
“I see in the Free Trade principle that which shall act on the moral world as the principle of gravitation in the universe — drawing men together, thrusting aside the antagonism of race, and creed, and language, and uniting us in the bonds of eternal peace.”
In the pre-Trump era, Republicans held hands with liberal Democrats in embracing NAFTA, GATT, the WTO and most-favored-nation trade privileges for China.
In retrospect, was it wise to have relied on China to produce essential parts for the supply chains of goods vital to our national security? Does it appear wise to have moved the production of pharmaceuticals and lifesaving drugs for heart disease, strokes and diabetes to China? Does it appear wise to have allowed China to develop a virtual monopoly on rare earth minerals crucial to the development of weapons for our defense?
In this coronavirus pandemic, people now seem to be looking for authoritative leaders and nations seem to be looking out for their own peoples first. Would Merkel, today, invite a million Syrian refugees into Germany no matter the conditions under which they were living in Syria and Turkey?
Is not the case now conclusive that we made a historic mistake when we outsourced our economic independence to rely for vital necessities upon nations that have never had America’s best interests at heart?
Which rings truer today? We are all part of mankind, all citizens of the world. Or that it’s time to put America and Americans first!

newswars--2020-03-13--Think Tank Complains “Coronavirus Is Killing Globalization as We Know It”

The founder of a globalist think tank has written an article for Foreign Policy in which he complains that the coronavirus outbreak is “ killing globalization as we know it.
” Philippe Legrain , founder of the Open Political Economy Network ( OPEN ) says that the spread of COVID-19 “ has been a gift to nativist nationalists and protectionists.
” Legrain argues that coronavirus could be “ the nail in the coffin for the current era of globalization ” because it has “ highlighted the downsides of extensive international integration while fanning fears of foreigners and providing legitimacy for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of people.
” He adds that the crisis will have a lasting impact on undermining America ’ s reliance on international supply chains and provide “ political fodder for nationalists who favor greater protectionism and immigration controls.
” “ The coronavirus crisis threatens to usher in a less globalized world , ” concludes Legrain .
“ Once the pandemic and panic abate , those who believe that openness to people and products from around the world is generally a good thing will need to make the case for it in fresh and persuasive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Washington Post Company ( now Graham Holdings Company ) and has a distinctly globalist bias .
Legrain ’ s point that coronavirus has provided legitimacy for restrictions of flows of people is borne out by the fact that countries like Russia and Singapore , which imposed strong border controls to stop COVID-19 back in January , have largely escaped the worst of pandemic .
In his latest column , conservative icon Pat Buchanan also highlights how coronavirus has served to expose the weaknesses of globalization .
“ It may one day be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the New World Order , to a half-century of globalization and to the era of interdependence of the world ’ s great nations , ” writes Buchanan .
