Summary:
Italy confirms second death, 12 towns on lockdown, more than 30 cases confirmed
Japan cases triple in a week to 121
Chinese scientists find virus in urine
Experts propose 27 day quarantine, say 14 days likely not long enough
Cases outside China go exponential
WHO team visits Wuhan; will give Monday press conference
Iran reports 10 new cases, deaths climb to 5
San Diego says 200 under ‘medical observation’
Young woman infected five relatives without ever showing symptoms
South Korea cases surge 8-fold in 4 days to 433; country reports third death
* * *
When WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros was asked on Thursday whether the COVID-19 virus was at a tipping point, he replied that the window to stop the outbreak from growing exponentially worse was rapidly closing.
Though by Friday night, it certainly seemed like that window had slammed shut. In South Korea, cases went exponential, soaring by 70% in one day.
Overnight, the country reported another rash of confirmed cases, bringing the total to 433, with 352 in Daegu, presumably members of the cult-like church where a ‘super-spreader’ worshipped. That marks an eight-fold increase in cases in just four days for South Korea, as the AP reported.
SK also reported its third death, a man in his 40s who was found dead in his apartment and posthumously tested.
South Korean health officials warned they could soon see a rash of deaths as several patients are in serious condition. Virus patients with signs of pneumonia or other serious conditions at the Cheongdo hospital were transferred elsewhere as 17 of them are in critical condition, according to SK Vice Health Minister Kim Gang-lip told reporters.
The country has followed China in imposing quarantines (everyone is too terrified to go outside anyway) and they’re hoping to prevent a national outbreak, despite a few cases in Seoul that weren’t immediately traceable to an obvious source, which is sort of discouraging.
“Although we are beginning to see some more cases nationwide, infections are still sporadic outside of the special management zone of Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province,” Kim said during a briefing. He called for maintaining strong border controls to prevent infections from China and elsewhere from entering South Korea.
In Italy, a seemingly minor outbreak went exponential. By day’s end, Italian health authorities had confirmed their first virus-related fatality, and 12 towns in Lombardy were under strict quarantine orders with residents huddling terrified inside their homes, a tableau that has become all too familiar by now. Another fatality followed overnight, as a couple more towns joined in the lockdown. This marked Italy as the first European country to see its own nationals succumb to the virus, according to Euronews.
Across Italy, there are 32 cases in Codogno, Lombardy, and seven in Veneto, according to the AFP and Sky Italia television. Many of the new cases represented the first infections in Italy acquired through secondary contagion.
In Iran, 10 more cases, and one more death, were recorded overnight. That brings the total number of confirmed cases to 28, including cases in Qom and Tehran. So far, five Iranians have died.
10 new #COVID2019 cases confirmed in Iran, one of whom has died. 8 of them are in Qom & 2 in Tehran.
Total number of confirmed cases in Iran is 28, 5 of whom have died.
A total of 785 people are also suspected and are undet quarantine, according to Health Ministry — First Squawk (@FirstSquawk) February 22, 2020
As we await more information out of China, CNBC’s Eunice Yoon reports that the team would hold a press briefing on Monday at 6 am ET.
The @WHO joint mission with #China on #coronavirus to host a technical briefing in Beijing following the completion of its trip to China on Monday, Feb 24 at 19:00 Beijing time (6am ET), @WHO says. Trip included Beijing, Sichuan, Guangdong, and Wuhan. — Eunice Yoon (@onlyyoontv) February 22, 2020
Meanwhile, as we noted yesterday, the team has arrived in Wuhan, where it’s gathering information and observing the situation on the ground.
The team has already been to three Chinese provinces, Beijing, Sichuan and Guangdong, but are only now just visiting the city at the heart of the outbreak. Dr. Tedros confirmed the trip during public comments on Saturday, where he once again shared some familiar words.
“We have to take advantage of the window of opportunity we have, to attack the virus outbreak with a sense of urgency,” Dr. Tedros told the leaders, who had gathered for an emergency meeting on the response to the coronavirus in the continent.
President Xi said Saturday that the situation in Wuhan remains ‘grim and complex’ – which means the WHO team should be in for an eye-opening experience.
As of Saturday morning in the US, 1,200 cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed outside China. More than 200 cases have been confirmed in South Korea, more than 30 in Italy, roughly a dozen in Iran, and one in Egypt, the first to be confirmed in Africa. China has reported over 76,000 cases, including over 2,300 deaths.
Confirmed cases in Japan rose to 121 on Saturday, having more than tripled in a week.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports that health officials and the cruise line are continuing to test crew members aboard the Diamond Princess. So far, 74 crew have been confirmed to have the virus, but they have been included in the toll already.

Also on Saturday scientists in China revealed that they had discovered a strain of the virus in a patient’s urine, raising new and uncomfortable questions about the virus’s ability to spread through sewer systems.

Officials said everyone being monitored had either come in contact with one of the three confirmed cases, or others under suspicion. Health officials didn’t exactly offer specific details.
They’re among more than 300 people who have been, or are being, ‘monitored’ by the county.
The 204 people under county supervision include those deemed at risk of having been exposed to the virus due to close contact with confirmed cases or because of travel to China in the past 14 days, the county said. Those individuals are monitoring their health under the supervision of county health officials. So far, 338 people in all have been monitored by the county, with 134 people completing their time under supervision. Health officials say the CDC is conducting screening for those landing at one of 11 U.S. airports from China. From there, if a patient shows no symptoms they are self-quarantined at home for self-monitoring with public health supervision.
Keep in mind: These individuals aren’t being held in isolation or a mandatory quarantine. Instead, they’ve been asked to self-quarantine, and immediately report any suspicious symptoms.
San Diego has had two confirmed cases of coronavirus, or COVID-19, among the evacuees who were flown out of Wuhan a few weeks ago. One patient has since recovered from the virus and has been released. The second patient is still receiving care. A third patient, reportedly a child, is still awaiting test results, but has been said to be showing symptoms.
When they extended a coronavirus-related emergency declaration for another 30 days, officials said there were no signs the virus was spreading around San Diego. But it never hurts to be cautious.

newswars--2020-02-23--Former Clinton Adviser:  Hillary & Bloomberg Planning To Install Her As Democrat Nominee

Hillary Clinton and billionaire Mike Bloomberg may have formulated a plan to make Hillary the Democrat presidential nominee , according to former Clinton adviser Dick Morris .
Morris , who served as a political strategist for former President Bill Clinton , claimed Sunday that Hillary would enter the fray during a brokered convention .
“ Here ’ s the deal that I think is going down .
I think Hillary and Bloomberg have gotten together and cooked up a scheme , ” Morris said on The Cats Roundtable radio show .
Morris said that regardless of his popularity , Bloomberg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his candidacy would serve to keep the party divided on a candidate until the Democratic National Convention .
“ Nobody will be nominated on the first ballot , and it ’ ll go to a second ballot , ” Morris said .
“ The problem is that the party establishment doesn ’ t have a candidate .
They can ’ t do Bloomberg because he got killed in the debate .
… Can ’ t do [ Joe ] Biden because he ’ s already lost the front-runner status .
… [ Pete @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kid at the Model UN .
… [ Elizabeth ] Warren is third , but she ’ s pretty far to the Left , and they ’ re not going to want to trust her.
” Morris then said that Clinton would step in during the second ballot at the brokered convention .
“ And then Hillary begins to gain ; the other candidates begin to drop out .
And Hillary is the nominee .
That , I think , is the establishment scenario , ” he said .
“ Hillary is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ able to come up with that can measure up to Donald Trump.
” Clinton denied reports that she ’ s considered joining Bloomberg as his running mate last week .

Hillary Clinton and billionaire Mike Bloomberg may have formulated a plan to make Hillary the Democrat presidential nominee, according to former Clinton adviser Dick Morris.
Morris, who served as a political strategist for former President Bill Clinton, claimed Sunday that Hillary would enter the fray during a brokered convention.
“Here’s the deal that I think is going down. I think Hillary and Bloomberg have gotten together and cooked up a scheme,” Morris said on The Cats Roundtable radio show.
Morris said that regardless of his popularity, Bloomberg would stay in the race to ensure his candidacy would serve to keep the party divided on a candidate until the Democratic National Convention.
“Nobody will be nominated on the first ballot, and it’ll go to a second ballot,” Morris said. “The problem is that the party establishment doesn’t have a candidate. They can’t do Bloomberg because he got killed in the debate. … Can’t do [Joe] Biden because he’s already lost the front-runner status. … [Pete] Buttigieg looks like a high school kid at the Model UN. … [Elizabeth] Warren is third, but she’s pretty far to the Left, and they’re not going to want to trust her.”
Morris then said that Clinton would step in during the second ballot at the brokered convention.
“And then Hillary begins to gain; the other candidates begin to drop out. And Hillary is the nominee. That, I think, is the establishment scenario,” he said. “Hillary is the only candidate that they’ll be able to come up with that can measure up to Donald Trump.”

“ I was just saying if he was going to give away his jets , his planes , if he ’ s going to give them away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talking about climate change .
He ’ s such a hypocrite , ” she said .
“ He talks about climate change , I ’ m wondering if he ’ s going to give up his jets .

He probably got here by a plane.

“ Those people are crazy .

“ Oh God these people stunk so bad .
They looked like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Just Another Channel also confronted Joe Biden in San Antonio last December about his son ’ s Ukraine ties .

National Security Adviser Robert O ’ Brien rejected reports leaked from Congress that the U.S. intelligence community believes the Russian government is trying to interfere in the U.S. election to help President Trump .

newswars--2020-02-23--BOMBSHELL: Fewer Than 600 People “Officially” Tested For Coronavirus in Entire U.S.; Massive Cover-U

BOMBSHELL: Fewer Than 600 People “Officially” Tested For Coronavirus in Entire U.S.; Massive Cover-Up Underway as 47 States Tested ZERO People

With each passing day of the coronavirus pandemic , it ’ s becoming more and more clear that the United States is following the “ Wuhan plan ” for how to contain coronavirus infections : Avoiding testing people , and you can then avoid reporting any “ confirmed infections.
” Given the tens of thousands of Chinese nationals entering the United States of America every month , the thousands of Chinese students and the many thousands of residents who are under “ observation ” by state health authorities in places like Washington and California , a reasonable person might expect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least 10,000 people for the CoVid-19 coronavirus .
But guess how many the CDC has actually tested ?
To the great shock of anyone paying attention , the CDC ’ s own website admits the agency has tested only 414 people in the entire country .
As a lab science director myself , I find this number especially surprising given that most PCR genetic analysis instruments use sample well plates that allow for batch testing of 96 samples at a time .
The sample trays for this are called “ 96-well plates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across all laboratories that conduct gene sequencing testing / PCR analysis .
This means the entire number of cases tested by the CDC could fit in fewer than five instrument runs , at a cost of only a few thousand dollars in total ( including the sample prep media , pipette tips , etc. )
.
The number is so small , I could have run these tests in my own lab with a single gene sequencer instrument from Thermo , which only costs about $ 150,000 .
The CDC ’ s budget @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So out of $ 6.6 billion , they can ’ t find the means to test more than a few hundred Americans for the coronavirus ?
That ’ s insane .
But it gets worse… Remember the thousands of coronavirus test kits the CDC sent to every state in America ?
No one is using them ( because NONE of them work ) As you may recall , it was just a little over two weeks ago that the mainstream media celebrated the CDC sending thousands of “ rapid coronavirus diagnostic test kits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ America .
As Fox News reported on Feb. 5 , “ [ T ] he test — 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel — will be available to state public laboratories after the FDA issued a so-called ’ emergency use authorization ’ on Tuesday.
” We now know that nobody is using the test kits anywhere in America .
A few days after they were sent out , the CDC ’ s Dr. Nancy Messonnier announced the test kits were faulty and had a “ bad reagent ” component that produced false negatives and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the test results were wildly invalid , so the test kits had to be completely scrapped .
The CDC claimed that “ some ” of the test kits they sent out were flawed , failing to mention that all of them were flawed .
“ Some of the coronavirus testing kits distributed to state labs around the US do not work properly , according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , ” reported the NY Post on Feb. 13th , about a week after the labs received the kits and realized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Some of the kits , which also were sent to at least 30 countries , produced “ inconclusive ” results because of flawed components — and the CDC said it planned to send replacements to make them work.
” Yes , they sent faulty kits to 30 countries .
And then they claimed “ some ” of them didn ’ t work .
But in the world of epidemiology , if you don ’ t know which test kits are faulty vs. accurate , then you can ’ t trust any of them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kits is a total joke , in other words .
But it ’ s a really clever way to make sure no reliable tests are being done in those 30 countries that received the kits… The CDC hasn ’ t sent any replacement kits or components… so almost no testing is getting done across America Since that stunning admission by the CDC , no replacement test kits have been made available to anyone in the United States .
Yet , strangely , South Korea has so many test kits that they ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already , confirming hundreds of new infections over just the last few days .
( The current total of infections in South Korea is now 556 , an explosive , exponential growth of infections over the last few days .
Amazingly , South Korea can test all these people , while the USA can ’ t seem to test anyone . )
If we are to believe the CDC ’ s excuses about the flawed test kits , South Korea is so much more advanced than the United States of America that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the thousands , even as the U.S. CDC is still tripping over itself , trying to fix whatever problems they ( intentionally ? )
introduced into the first wave of test kits that didn ’ t work .
A trained observer might conclude at this point that the CDC doesn ’ t really want any test kits to function in America , for if they did work , they might reveal thousands of infections in places like San Diego , Seattle and Honolulu .
( Wink wink to the CDC , since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infections across America , mostly focused in those cities , but we ’ ll cover that in another article . )
After all , the easiest way to avoid reporting infections is to make sure nobody has any test kits that might confirm such infections .
It ’ s the “ don ’ t ask , don ’ t tell ” policy of ( badly ) dealing with a pandemic , and it now appears to be official policy at the CDC .
But it gets even more insane : 47 U.S. states @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we covered the stunning fact that the State of Hawaii has tested exactly zero people for coronavirus infections .
This may come as a surprise for all of us who have observed people flying through Honolulu who were later diagnosed with coronavirus infections .
Hawaiian Airlines even confirmed they flew an infected couple from one of the smaller islands directly into Honolulu , where they boarded a Delta flight and headed off to Japan .
So we might imagine that the Hawaii Dept .
of Health would obviously have some level of testing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ State of Hawaii owns some genetic analysis equipment in a lab somewhere… Apparently not .
As the Star Advertiser in Honolulu discovered , exactly zero people in the entire State of Hawaii have been tested for the coronavirus : Why hasn ’ t Hawaii tested anyone for the virus ?
Hawaii state officials claim they ’ re waiting for test kits from the CDC .
It ’ s sort of like the old “ dog ate my homework ” excuse , but for a global pandemic .
The CDC , as mentioned above @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kits to anyone , even as the days tick by and everybody is wondering just how many Americans really might be infected at this point .
So we decided to poke around and find out how many U.S. states have tested zero people for the virus .
It turns out that number is 47 .
“ California , Nebraska and Illinois are the only U.S. states that can currently test for coronavirus , the Association of Public Health Laboratories ( APHL ) told Reuters on Friday , ” reported CNBC.com yesterday .
Yes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and apparently no ability to test anyone .
( Are they all scientifically illiterate ?
Do they not have gene sequencing instruments in their state health labs ?
Has America already collapse to the point where the people running all the science labs are incompetent to the point of suicide ?
Geesh… ) The CDC still hasn ’ t sent out any replacements , of course .
From the CNBC story : The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) last week said some of the testing kits sent to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ produced “ inconclusive ” results due to a flawed component and the CDC planned to send replacement materials to make the kits work .
But when , exactly ?
The CDC doesn ’ t seem to be in any particular hurry to make the test kits work .
And this is what allows Dr. Nancy Messonnier to claim the CDC , “ hasn ’ t seen any community outbreaks ” so far .
Of course they haven ’ t .
Nobody ’ s doing any real testing .
By definition , there will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as long as nobody conducts any testing .
It gets even worse : CDC testing flow chart practically PROHIBITS any discovery of community outbreaks Just in case you weren ’ t sure how this FUBARed situation could get any more FUBAR , the CDC has published a flow chart that provides instructions to U.S. state health departments on who should be tested for the coronavirus .
Not that this matters at all when no test kits are available , but even when the CDC one day decides to send out diagnostic kits that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guidelines prohibit any testing for individuals who might suffer from community outbreaks .
That ’ s not a typo .
Seriously .
See the chart below for yourself .
The CDC ’ s chart says the only people who should be tested are 1 ) People who traveled to China , and 2 ) People who have been in “ close contact ” with confirmed cases of coronavirus .
So then , how exactly would anyone be tested if they suffered from a local transmission from an asymptomatic carrier who hasn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words , people infected in community outbreaks would be prohibited from being tested under the CDC flow chart .
Stated another way , if you got infected in America , you won ’ t be tested in America .
Thus , “ community outbreaks ” will be completely halted .
It ’ s almost ( evil ) genius .
Now you ’ re starting to see how this entire thing is a rigged catch-22 cover-up : A rational person might think the CDC ’ s flow chart would demand testing for anyone showing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this CoVid-19 coronavirus .
But apparently that would make way too much sense .
Instead , those people are prohibited from being tested if they acquired the infection from an unknown super spreader in the United States .
Yes , it gets even worse : Washington releases 100 people from its watch list , but tests none of them Yesterday , we did find that the State of Washington , apparently in defiance of the CDC , had managed to test a grand total of 26 people out of the 779 people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus infections .
Looking at the Washington State Dept .
of Health website today , we find that health authorities there have somehow found the resources to test TWO more person ( 28 total ) while releasing 100 people from the “ health supervision ” watchlist even though none of those 100 people have been tested .
So in the State of Washington , 100 people can be released from the watch list without ever being tested ?
Indeed , yes .
This is how public health works when governments are run by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like a scene ripped right out of Idiocracy .
In the worst pandemic the modern world has ever seen , the entire State of Washington is testing about one person per day .
It basically borders on criminal negligence .
Conclusion : Fewer than 600 people have been tested across the entire country From the best we can tell , with the CDC claiming they ’ ve tested 414 people , and Washington State ’ s 28 people no doubt existing as a subset of those 414 ( Washington must send samples to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ test kits don ’ t work ) , and given that 47 states out of 50 have zero test kits , it appears that fewer than 600 people have been tested for coronavirus in the entire country .
At least , that ’ s the “ official ” status of things .
In reality , what we already know from several highly placed sourced inside the federal government , thousands of people have been tested and over 1,000 infections have already been confirmed in America .
One clue to confirm this is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in California has run out of isolation beds and is urgently trying to “ export ” 35-50 infected patients to another facility in Costa Mesa , California .
The city leaders of Costa Mesa got word of the scheme and filed an emergency lawsuit in California courts , revealing the true numbers of infected people the feds are trying to move .
Here ’ s a screen capture from the lawsuit , as broadcast by Fox 5 in San Diego : If 35-50 patients known to be infected are being moved out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s obviously to make room for an influx of newly infected patients being relocated there .
If Travis Air Force Base is being overrun in California , what ’ s happening to the facilities in Omaha and San Antonio , too ?
The CDC is already warning U.S. hospitals to prepare for a “ surge ” in coronavirus patients , and they ’ ve issued that warning because they know a surge is coming since they already have over 1,000 confirmed patients mapped out across America .
But of course the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and it ’ s very likely they are withholding the coronavirus test kits in order to make sure U.S. states can ’ t actually confirm any infections .
This tactic of creating artificial scarcity in the test kits , by the way , is exactly how the communist regime of China kept their own infection numbers artificially low from the very beginning .
We learned through a variety of sources that fewer than 1 out of 10 patients showing pneumonia-like symptoms were able to be tested in Wuhan hospitals , and even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were exploding on an exponential basis .
The CDC , it seems , is borrowing a playbook right out of the communist handbook of medical propaganda and public deception .
There ’ s no word on the status of the “ replacement ” test kits , as you might expect .
They probably aren ’ t even being produced .
There ’ s no intention in the USA to accurately test anyone , since doing so would require reporting those results to the public .
With the CDC now actively engaged in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anyone who reports the truth , we have now entered an Orwellian phase of coordinated , authoritarian deception that ’ s designed to deliberately keep the U.S. public in the dark about pandemic outbreaks which are already taking place on U.S. soil .
The net effect of that deception , of course , will be a rapid explosion in the number of infections across America — which appears to be the goal of the people running all this , including the CDC which stands to receive a windfall of new funding and police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ multiple U.S. cities .
The quarantines are coming in America .
The medical police state is ready to be rolled out .
CDC authorities are actively hiding infections from the public , even as they prepare armed CDC “ quarantine teams ” to kidnap and medically imprison people against their will .
Every nightmare scenario you ’ ve imagined over the last two decades is about to be unfurled .
And the only voices telling you the truth are completely banned on every tech platform ( be design , of course , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If you want to survive this , follow my work at Pandemic.news .
The CDC and “ government officials ” will get you killed , or imprisoned , or injured with a mandatory experimental vaccine at some point .
Don ’ t trust anything coming out of official sources , as it ’ s now obvious they ’ ve all agreed to lie to the world as a way to maximize the spread of the pandemic .

The CDC’s budget for FY 2020 is $6,594,000,000.

newswars--2020-02-23--VIDEO: MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Now Says Bernie’s Rise, Like Trump’s, Is Nazi-Like

MSNBC ’ s Chris Matthews , a vocal critic of Sen. Bernie Sanders ( I-VT ) , has now compared the Sanders campaign as Nazi-like , using similar phrasing to his 2017 condemnation of President Trump ’ s inaugural address .
As it began to become clear that Sanders gained a decisive victory in the Democratic Party ’ s Nevada caucus , Matthews began bemoaning the idea of Sanders becoming the nominee , and went as far as to compare his recent electoral wins to the rise of Hitler .
“ It looks like Bernie sanders is hard to beat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ They ’ re sitting on so much oppo research on Bernie , what he ’ s said in the past about world affairs , how far left he is , ” “ They ’ re gon na kill him , ” he continued .
“ I think it ’ s a little late to stop him , and I think that ’ s the problem.
” Matthews noted that the Sanders campaign has won every state ’ s popular vote , while the majority of delegates in Iowa went to South Bend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the way if you look at the pattern it ’ s dynamic .

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, a vocal critic of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), has now compared the Sanders campaign as Nazi-like, using similar phrasing to his 2017 condemnation of President Trump’s inaugural address.
As it began to become clear that Sanders gained a decisive victory in the Democratic Party’s Nevada caucus, Matthews began bemoaning the idea of Sanders becoming the nominee, and went as far as to compare his recent electoral wins to the rise of Hitler.
“It looks like Bernie sanders is hard to beat right now,” said Matthews. “They’re sitting on so much oppo research on Bernie, what he’s said in the past about world affairs, how far left he is,”
“They’re gonna kill him,” he continued. “I think it’s a little late to stop him, and I think that’s the problem.”

Matthews noted that the Sanders campaign has won every state’s popular vote, while the majority of delegates in Iowa went to South Bend Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
“By the way if you look at the pattern it’s dynamic. Bernie won the popular vote in Iowa, he won it again in New Hampshire, and it looks like he’s gonna win it here when they finally get a vote,” Matthews added.
“Bernie’s been winning consistently, and I think it’s mathematically understandable.”
At this point in the brief three minute exchange, Matthews then likened Sanders’ victory in Iowa to the Nazi invasion of France in 1940.
“I was reading last night Brian, I know you’re a history guy too,” said Matthews. “I was reading last night about the fall of France in the summer of 1940, and the General Renou calls up Churchill and says it’s over.”
“And Churchill says how can it be? You’ve got the greatest army in Europe? He said it’s over.”
Matthews added, “So I had that suppressed feeling.”
Earlier in the day, Matthews expressed concern over what a Democratic Party led by Sanders would mean for the party’s future.
National File reported:
“I’m wondering whether the Democratic moderates want Bernie Sanders to be president,” said Matthews. “I mean that’s maybe too exciting of a question to raise, they don’t like Trump at all.”
He added, “Do they want Bernie Sanders to take over the Democratic Party in perpetuity? I mean he takes it over, he sets the direction for the future of the party. Maybe they want four years and they put in a Democrat they like?”
Matthews, of course, claimed President Trump’s inaugural address was “Hitlerian” in its content, comparing the nascent president to the Third Reich.
“When he said today, ‘America First,’ it was not just the racial, I shouldn’t say racial, the Hitlerian background to it,” Matthews said in 2017.
“I kept thinking, ‘What is Teresa May think of this when she picks up the papers,” Matthews continued. “What if you’re Putin, you’re probably pounding the table and saying ‘That’s what I’ve been saying! Russia First.’”

Coronavirus Panic Goes Global: S.Korea Warns Of ‘Watershed Moment’ As Italy Quarantines 12 Towns, Cancels Venice Carnival

Bernie Sanders has won the Nevada caucus , and coronavirus outbreaks are taking root in a handful of countries outside China , threatening a genuine pandemic and threatening to pop the market ’ s dismissive bubble by proving unequivocally that this is not ‘ just another flu ’ .
We ’ re starting our Sunday roundup with South Korea which , along with Italy and Japan , is one of a handful of countries outside China that is genuinely in crisis .
On Sunday , the South Korean government raised the national threat level to “ red alert ” , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ North Korean troops on the move to Seoul-level ) after 169 new cases were confirmed on Sunday , raising the national toll total to 602 .
South Korean President Moon Jae-in warned on Sunday that the outbreak had reached a “ critical watershed ” moment , and that “ the next few days will be a very important critical moment.

In that time , Italy has become host to the largest coronavirus outbreak outside Asia .
As Rome scrambles to contain the outbreak , authorities on Sunday banned all public gatherings , including Venice ’ s famed carnival celebrations that honor the beginning of Lent .

25 cases have been isolated in Veneto , and the rest in Lombardy , with authorities still unable to track down the source of the virus .
The first case was discovered last week when an Italian man in Codogno in his late 30s became seriously ill .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he ’ s ‘ patient zero ’ .

As we noted last night , Hubei reported ~600 new cases on Saturday but nobody really believes the Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paolo Gentiloni said the EU recently delivered 25 tonnes of protective equipment to China to help it contain the outbreak .

The country ’ s utter lack of health-care resources combined with a bitter and oppressive regime already struggling with an US-manufactured economic crisis and a leadership that just accidentally killed ~200 innocent people , including dozens of students , has left it completely vulnerable .

Bernie Sanders has won the Nevada caucus, and coronavirus outbreaks are taking root in a handful of countries outside China, threatening a genuine pandemic and threatening to pop the market’s dismissive bubble by proving unequivocally that this is not ‘just another flu’.
We’re starting our Sunday roundup with South Korea which, along with Italy and Japan, is one of a handful of countries outside China that is genuinely in crisis. On Sunday, the South Korean government raised the national threat level to “red alert”, its highest threat level (like, North Korean troops on the move to Seoul-level) after 169 new cases were confirmed on Sunday, raising the national toll total to 602.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in warned on Sunday that the outbreak had reached a “critical watershed” moment, and that “the next few days will be a very important critical moment.” He then asked health authorities to take “unprecedented, powerful” steps to contain the virus – and it appears they’re already starting to do just that, as the FT reports.
As one can see from this chart, the bulk of new cases confirmed over the weekend have been in the ex-China, ex-Diamond Princess category:
The Italian government is taking similar steps after confirming 133 cases, up from just three less than 72 hours ago. In that time, Italy has become host to the largest coronavirus outbreak outside Asia.
As Rome scrambles to contain the outbreak, authorities on Sunday banned all public gatherings, including Venice’s famed carnival celebrations that honor the beginning of Lent.
According to ABC, three patients in Venice have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, all of them in their late 80s and who are hospitalized in critical condition.
Most of Italy’s cases are clustered in the north, where the most extreme lockdowns are being implemented. 25 cases have been isolated in Veneto, and the rest in Lombardy, with authorities still unable to track down the source of the virus. The first case was discovered last week when an Italian man in Codogno in his late 30s became seriously ill.
But they’re still not sure if he’s ‘patient zero’.
“The health officials haven’t been yet able to pinpoint Patient Zero,”Angelo Borrelli, head of the national Civil Protection agency, told reporters in Rome.
Initially, authorities believed this man was infected by an Italian friend with whom he had recently dined, and who also had just returned from Shanghai. When the friend tested negative for the virus, attention turned to several Chinese who live in town and who frequent the same restaurant. Regional Gov. Attilio Fontana said they tested negative, too.
With 90 confirmed cases in Lombardy, the region has closed schools and universities, sporting events, other public events – and even catholic mass.
More bad news out of Hubei followed on Sunday, as Wuhan’s Union Jiangbei Hospital confirmed the death of a 29-year-old doctor. That’s the second death of a young doctor in Hubei in a matter of days (another doctor died late last week). Their deaths have stirred up memories of Dr. Li, a martyr of the virus and symbol of Beijing’s missteps.
As we noted last night, Hubei reported ~600 new cases on Saturday but nobody really believes the Chinese numbers anymore.
European Commission finance chief Paolo Gentiloni said the EU recently delivered 25 tonnes of protective equipment to China to help it contain the outbreak.
As the Trump administration confronts the unavoidable reality that it badly miscalculated by bringing those 14 sick passengers on the evacuation flight with ~300 seemingly healthy Americans from the Diamond Princess, Japanese officials confirmed on Sunday the third death among the ~2,600 passengers who traveled on the ship (along with another 1,000+ crew).
The ‘Diamond Princes’ remains the largest outbreak outside mainland China – but South Korea has probably already surpassed it, health authorities just haven’t been able to test sick patients fast enough.
Meanwhile, President Trump assured the public that the virus is “under control” in the US just as he reportedly asked Congress to authorize federal funds to combat the virus as the CDC warns only three states are truly prepared.
Elsewhere in the US, reports on Sunday claimed 325 People in Michigan were being monitored, all of whom had recently been to mainland China, according to local health authorities.
Nearly all of South Korea’s coronavirus cases have been linked to two clusters at a church in southern city of Daegu and a nearby hospital in Cheongdo County – though cases have popped up seemingly without explanation, a phenomenon that is unnerving health officials around the world (Japan has faced a similar problem).
Yonhap reports scenes familiar to those who watched Wuhan’s initial virus response: Exhausted health-care workers sleeping on benches outside hospitals.
The South Korean government has declared ‘special management zones’ in both areas – a kind of voluntary lockdown order. From what observers can tell, it seems to be working, because Daegu’s streets are abandoned, according to seemingly every report.
As the public searches for somebody to blame for the outbreak, the public fury appears to be pointed at the cult-like church where a ‘super-spreader member who thought she just had a bad cold infected dozens of others, kicking of the outbreak in earnest.
Rumors and reports are circulating claiming the church isn’t cooperating with the South Korean government.
Shincheonji cult is the epicenter of the breakout in Korea. The church is not cooperating and is not giving the list of members who were in Daegu. 9,336 members were tested and 1,261 see suspected if carrying the virus. This cult needs to be shutdown.https://t.co/urr2aRdcYK — DJ Jino (@jinoreacts) February 23, 2020
But nowhere outside of Hubei is the outbreak worse than in Iran. The country’s utter lack of health-care resources combined with a bitter and oppressive regime already struggling with an US-manufactured economic crisis and a leadership that just accidentally killed ~200 innocent people, including dozens of students, has left it completely vulnerable.
In just a matter of days, the death toll in Iran has climbed to 8 on Sunday. Assuming a mortality rate of 2%, that would imply Iran had ~400 cases one month ago when these patients were likely infected. That means there could be thousands of cases roaming around the country already. The biggest clusters so far have been reported in Qoms and in Tehran, the capital. In response, all schools in Tehran have been shuttered until further notice, and the government is telling citizens to avoid any gatherings or leaving their homes at all, if possible.
As medical workers literally throw everything they have at the virus, using AIDS drugs that have been found to be effective as well as therapies that work on flu patients, Axios reports that the global outbreak could soon cause shortages of 150 prescription drugs.
Before we go, we’d like to point out one interesting piece that we found in the Global Times – literally the most unlikeliest of places. As Beijing begins to push a narrative blaming the US for the outbreak (we know, we know), Chinese propaganda is already sowing the seeds of doubt. The virus didn’t originate in the Hunan seafood market where an illegal wildlife trade helped it pass from bats or snakes to humans. No, it was ‘introduced’ to workers at the market via human-to-human transmission via an unknown third party.
This according to Chinese “researchers”.
So much for Mike Bloomberg’s insistence that nothing can stop the inexorable march of globalization.

We’ll see about that.

The meme triggered an avalanche of equally passionate reactions from both Trump supporters – including his fans in India – as well as his critics, always ready to post a counter-meme.
A recent poll showed that approval toward the US president among Indians has jumped from 14 to 56 percent since he took office in 2016, though many are increasingly skeptical about his aggressive approach to trade.
India has high hopes for Trump’s visit, and local authorities have been doing their best to make a good impression. These elaborate preparations have not gone down well with everyone in India, however. One Hindu party earlier lashed out at the government’s plans to hide a slum area behind a wall along the route Trump’s motorcade will take, and even likened the arrangements to those made for British royals during colonial times.
