White House coronavirus advisor Dr Anthony Fauci says that the U.S. needs to monitor a new strain of swine flu discovered in China that has the potential to become a pandemic Fauci was asked at a Senate Health , Education , Labor and Pensions Committee hearing about the new strain of H1N1 that scientists in China had identified .
CNBC reports : The virus , which scientists are calling “ G4 EA H1N1 , ” has not yet been shown to infect humans but it is exhibiting “ reassortment capabilities , ” Fauci , director of the National Institute of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate Health , Education , Labor and Pensions Committee during a hearing .
“ In other words , when you get a brand new virus that turns out to be a pandemic virus it ’ s either due to mutations and/or the reassortment or exchanges of genes , ” he told lawmakers .
“ And they ’ re seeing virus in swine , in pigs now , that have characteristics of the 2009 H1N1 , of the original 1918 , which many of our flu viruses have remnants of that in it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , like swine.
” The H1N1 swine flu and 1918 pandemic flu were both considered horrific viruses that spread across the globe .
The H1N1 swine flu emerged in Mexico in April 2009 , infecting 60.8 million people in the United States alone and at least 700 million worldwide .
An estimated 151,700 to 575,400 people died from the virus across the globe , according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .

CNBC reports: The virus, which scientists are calling “G4 EA H1N1,” has not yet been shown to infect humans but it is exhibiting “reassortment capabilities,” Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee during a hearing.
“In other words, when you get a brand new virus that turns out to be a pandemic virus it’s either due to mutations and/or the reassortment or exchanges of genes,” he told lawmakers. “And they’re seeing virus in swine, in pigs now, that have characteristics of the 2009 H1N1, of the original 1918, which many of our flu viruses have remnants of that in it, as well as segments from other hosts, like swine.”

The new strain that is spreading in pig farms in China has been identified as having “all the essential hallmarks of a candidate pandemic virus,” scientists say.
Fauci said Tuesday there’s always “the possibility that you might have another swine flu-type outbreak as we had in 2009.”
“It’s something that still is in the stage of examination,” he said. It’s not “an immediate threat where you’re seeing infections, but it’s something we need to keep our eye on, just the way we did in 2009 with the emergence of the swine flu.”
Fauci’s comments came as the coronavirus continues to rapidly spread across the U.S., with the seven-day average of new cases growing by 5% or more in at least 40 states, including Arizona, Texas, Florida and Oklahoma, according to a CNBC analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

A federal face mask mandate would not only slash coronavirus infections but could also save the U.S. economy from taking a 5 % hit to its gross domestic product , according to Goldman Sachs .
On Monday Goldman ’ s chief economist Jan Hatzius and his team investigated the link between wearing a mask and certain economic and health outcomes of the coronavirus.. CNBC reports : They found that facial coverings are associated with sizable and statistically significant results .
“ We find that face masks are associated with significantly better coronavirus outcomes , ” Hatzius wrote in a note @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that a national mandate could raise the percentage of people who wear masks by 15 [ percentage points ] and cut the daily growth rate of confirmed cases by 1.0 [ percentage point ] to 0.6 % .
” “ These calculations imply that a face mask mandate could potentially substitute for lockdowns that would otherwise subtract nearly 5 % from GDP , ” the economist added .
He first focused on to what extent , if at all , the actual use of face masks reduces the infection rate of Covid-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by state .
For example , Hatizus found only about 40 % of respondents in Arizona say they “ always ” wear face masks in public , compared with nearly 80 % in Massachusetts .
Goldman then analyzed the impact of mandates issued by 20 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia between April 8 and June 24 and compared it with actual face mask usage in public using YouGov Covid-19 respondent data .
The results are “ large and highly significant ” and show that state mask mandates raise the percentage of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or “ frequently ” wear masks by about 25 percentage points in the 30 days after the government order .
Meanwhile , the group of people who say they “ always ” wear masks jumps by 40 percentage points more than 30 days after the mandate .
That result suggests the order causes people who had previously said they “ frequently ” wear masks to “ always ” wear them .
Critically , Hatizus said wearing face masks appears to have a causal impact on the rate of new Covid-19 infections .
These @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fewer trips in public or avoiding large gatherings .
All told , Goldman ’ s base case is that a national mandate to wear face masks could raise the percentage of Americans who wear masks by 15 percentage points and slash the daily growth rate of confirmed cases by 1 percentage point to 0.6 % .
The investment bank then translated those results into GDP terms by asking how severe any government-imposed lockdowns would have to be to cut infections by 1 percentage point .
To do this , Hatzius compared the severity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how the American economy has already reacted to state-imposed business closures .
By Goldman ’ s estimates , lockdown efforts — both official government restrictions and actual social distancing — earlier this year subtracted 17 % from U.S. GDP between January and April .
Other countries with even more aggressive restrictions saw even larger economic effects .
Using those results and a target to reduce daily growth rate by 1 percentage point , Goldman Sachs found that a face mask mandate could potentially substitute for lockdowns that would otherwise subtract nearly 5 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mask mandate meaningfully lowers coronavirus infections , it could be valuable not only from a public health perspective but also from an economic perspective because it could substitute for renewed lockdowns that would otherwise hit GDP , ” Hatzius wrote .

“ The white sisters could not vote the Native Americans where we get this land from , they were not free and certainly the African-Americans , women , and men , we didn ’ t have our freedom either in fact if everyone that is listening at home or watching at home just imagined a day or what it feels like to wake up in a world where you don ’ t own the land , the air , you don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ permission of your white brothers some of them .

We have to face our privilege .

Then we would like a day to recognize the emancipation of enslaved people.”
Host David Faber asked, “I’m curious what is your sense here, what will define success for you. MLK Day has been a national holiday for a long time. I think only about 40% of employers give it as a paid holiday still, and that is with many years of it being a national holiday — what are your hopes here and what are you hearing not just those that already support it, but perhaps those on the fence?”
Williams replied, “Well, we have to face our hubris. We have to face our privilege. And it is absolutely hubris and privilege for someone to not adhere to a state-regulated paid holiday. For me, I would love to just say yeah, around the world, we have acknowledged the emancipation of enslaved people, but that is not enough. Before you can get to that part, you have to start with your heart. You to start with your heart, and we have convenient blind spots in this nation, and we’re comfortable with being tone-deaf.”

Just weeks after Nestride Yumga told Black Lives Matter radicals that they are a “ joke , ” “ hypocrites ” and “ racists , ” the African immigrant has made her appreciation for police officers and her deep respect for America plain for all to see .
Yumga , a Washington , D.C. resident , delivered food to law enforcement officers on the weekend , describing the men and women in blue as “ brave men and women who took the oath , they took the badge to serve the community and they ’ re doing just that.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country , and I don ’ t want my country to be portrayed like this , ” Yumga told Breitbart .
RELATED : African Immigrant to BLM Protesters : ‘ Black Lives Matter Is a Joke – You Are The Racists ’ WesternJournal report : Yumga ’ s love for the United States of America comes as a welcome contrast to the disdain that Black Lives Matter activists obviously have for the country .
Her gesture toward local police was surely appreciated at a time when law enforcement finds itself under assault from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Yumga standing up to BLM earlier this month .
Yumga slammed BLM protesters for their lack of outrage about the loss of black life that has become the new normal in Chicago .
Obviously , Yumga spent a lot of time preparing for her show of solidarity .
Days before delivering food to the officers , she sent out a tweet urging her fellow Americans to help in her efforts to say “ THANK YOU ” to the police : This is not the first time that Yumga has provided meals for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Just last weekend , in honor of Father ’ s Day , Yumga served local police officers lunch on behalf of a grateful community : Yumga ’ s acts of kindness come at a difficult time for D.C. police and law enforcement in general .
According to the president of the D.C. Police Union , 70 percent of the city ’ s police force have considered quitting their jobs .
This should not come as a surprise .
The anti-police rhetoric in America has reached new heights in the month following the death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ man , in police custody .
The far left has pushed the idea of “ defunding the police , ” and America ’ s largest city , New York City , has partially signed on to that insane idea .
The radical left has also declared war on school resource officers .
School boards in Oakland , California , and Denver have announced plans either to eliminate or phase out police presence in their schools .
READ : Candace Owens : ‘ Black Lives Only Matter To Liberals Every 4 Years Ahead of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cops seems to have reached an all-time high , the support police officers have received from law-abiding Americans is also worthy of attention .
It ’ s not just Yumga who has made her appreciation for law enforcement perfectly clear .
A restaurant in Port Richey , Florida has declared itself a “ safe haven ” for the police .
One NASCAR driver sported a car with a “ Blue Lives Matter ” flag on the hood and the hashtag “ BacktheBlue ” on the back bumper as he raced in Homestead , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Yumga , joined by other community members , has decided to show the police support at a time when they need it “ more than ever.
” “ I ’ m here to show these police officers that we are with them , we pray for them , we love them .
We want them to be in our community , ” Yumga said .
She also warned that “ our communities will suffer the most without the police.
” Police in D.C. and across America are lucky to have a friend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people across America will follow the example of this brave patriot and show their appreciation for the men and women who serve and protect .
Should a # BacktheBlue movement gain momentum , it would be a huge victory not just for the police but for the communities who rely upon the men and women in blue to keep them safe .

Just weeks after Nestride Yumga told Black Lives Matter radicals that they are a “joke,” “hypocrites” and “racists,” the African immigrant has made her appreciation for police officers and her deep respect for America plain for all to see.
Yumga, a Washington, D.C. resident, delivered food to law enforcement officers on the weekend, describing the men and women in blue as “brave men and women who took the oath, they took the badge to serve the community and they’re doing just that.”

“I’m proud of my country, and I don’t want my country to be portrayed like this,” Yumga told Breitbart.

WesternJournal report: Yumga’s love for the United States of America comes as a welcome contrast to the disdain that Black Lives Matter activists obviously have for the country. Her gesture toward local police was surely appreciated at a time when law enforcement finds itself under assault from the far left.
Breitbart captured video of Yumga standing up to BLM earlier this month. Yumga slammed BLM protesters for their lack of outrage about the loss of black life that has become the new normal in Chicago.

Obviously, Yumga spent a lot of time preparing for her show of solidarity. Days before delivering food to the officers, she sent out a tweet urging her fellow Americans to help in her efforts to say “THANK YOU” to the police:
https://twitter.com/nestride/status/1275927815305691137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1275927815305691137%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.westernjournal.com%2Fafrican-immigrant-delivers-food-dc-police-says-officers-heroes%2F
This is not the first time that Yumga has provided meals for the men and women in blue. Just last weekend, in honor of Father’s Day, Yumga served local police officers lunch on behalf of a grateful community:
https://twitter.com/nestride/status/1275223640037109760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1275223640037109760%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.westernjournal.com%2Fafrican-immigrant-delivers-food-dc-police-says-officers-heroes%2F
Yumga’s acts of kindness come at a difficult time for D.C. police and law enforcement in general. According to the president of the D.C. Police Union, 70 percent of the city’s police force have considered quitting their jobs.
This should not come as a surprise. The anti-police rhetoric in America has reached new heights in the month following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed African-American man, in police custody.
The far left has pushed the idea of “defunding the police,” and America’s largest city, New York City, has partially signed on to that insane idea.
The radical left has also declared war on school resource officers. School boards in Oakland, California, and Denver have announced plans either to eliminate or phase out police presence in their schools.

While the hatred of cops seems to have reached an all-time high, the support police officers have received from law-abiding Americans is also worthy of attention. It’s not just Yumga who has made her appreciation for law enforcement perfectly clear.
A restaurant in Port Richey, Florida has declared itself a “safe haven” for the police. One NASCAR driver sported a car with a “Blue Lives Matter” flag on the hood and the hashtag “BacktheBlue” on the back bumper as he raced in Homestead, Florida, earlier this month.
Now, Yumga, joined by other community members, has decided to show the police support at a time when they need it “more than ever.”
“I’m here to show these police officers that we are with them, we pray for them, we love them. We want them to be in our community,” Yumga said.
She also warned that “our communities will suffer the most without the police.”

Police in D.C. and across America are lucky to have a friend like Nestride Yumga. Hopefully, more people across America will follow the example of this brave patriot and show their appreciation for the men and women who serve and protect.
Should a #BacktheBlue movement gain momentum, it would be a huge victory not just for the police but for the communities who rely upon the men and women in blue to keep them safe.


newspunch--2020-07-01--Adam Schiff ‘Jokes’ About ‘Moving to Canada Soon’, Patriots Demand He Pack His Bags Now

Rep. Adam Schiff ( D-CA ) blurted out an apparent “ joke ” on Monday about moving to Canada “ soon “ , raising the hopes of conservatives across the nation who would love few things more than seeing the back of the notoriously deceptive Californian Democrat .
Schiff is best known for his ability to lie with a straight face — about “ Russia collusion , ” about the “ whistleblower ” who sparked the impeachment of President Trump , and so much more .
According to the Just The News ( founded by John Solomon , a former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ News contributor ) , Schiff made the eyebrow raising-remark during an online forum on “ Social Media Disinformation and Election Interference ” organized by George Washington University .
READ : Adam Schiff ’ s Friend and Associate Arrested By LAPD On Sickening Array of Pedophilia Charges WesternJournal report : In addition to Schiff and others , the forum included Dominic Leblanc , an adviser to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau .
As moderator Frank Sesno , director of GWU ’ s School of Media and Public Affairs , was preparing to question Leblanc @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Schiff .
“ Before we move to Canada , ” he said .
“ At your hearing last week ….
” “ We may all be moving to Canada soon , ” he said , sparking a moment of laughter for Sesno .
It wasn ’ t clear who “ we ” might mean , but it ’ s a good guess Schiff was talking about his fellow Democratic Party members .
Regardless , for Schiff critics who caught wind of it , the moment was less a joke than a dream @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s talk of going to Canada probably holds as much water as the tantrums of celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg , Lena Dunham and Barbra Streisand , who implied or outright stated they would leave the country if Trump won the 2016 presidential election .
It ’ s also important to remember that Schiff ’ s relationship with the truth could charitably described as “ casual.
” Back in February 2019 , he told CNN ’ s “ State of the Union ” that there was evidence of “ collusion ” between the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sight.
” Later developments showed this was not only false , but Schiff had to know it was false , since witness after witness who testified before the House Intelligence Committee in 2017 and ’ 18 had said they knew of no proof of collusion .
During the farcical proceedings surrounding the impeachment proceedings this year , Schiff repeatedly claimed he did not know the identity of the “ whistleblower ” whose complaint about a Trump phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky sparked the Democratic attempt to dislodge a sitting president .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” was probably the worst kept secret in Washington , no one with any sense — probably not even liberals — believed Schiff then .
But even in a joke , there might be some truth .
As the point man on the impeachment effort , Schiff knows firsthand what it feels like to try to take down the president and end up in abject failure .
He knows that frustration , and it ’ s possible he sees more of it ahead .
It could well be that Democrats are more nervous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Americans to believe about the outcome of the November election .
If Schiff were confident that the doddering Joe Biden was actually going to defeat Trump , it ’ s more likely his joke would have been something like “ We won ’ t need to move to Canada after Nov. 3.
” Despite an onslaught of unrest from Black Lives Matter radicals , malicious attacks from dishonest Democrats like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , and the ever-Democrat-accommodating mainstream media , Trump is not only not defeated , if his primary numbers are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ solid as ever .
As the New York Post reported June 20 , Trump ’ s primary vote totals have trounced previous incumbents facing no or only token competition like then-President Barack Obama in 2012 and then-President George W. Bush in 2004 .
In other words , Trump ’ s enemies in the political realm and in the media are already trumpeting a coming Democratic win in 2020 , but Trump ’ s strength should not be counted out .

WesternJournal report: In addition to Schiff and others, the forum included Dominic Leblanc, an adviser to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. As moderator Frank Sesno, director of GWU’s School of Media and Public Affairs, was preparing to question Leblanc, he segued into one more question for Schiff.

Schiff interrupted.

Of course, Schiff’s talk of going to Canada probably holds as much water as the tantrums of celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg, Lena Dunham and Barbra Streisand, who implied or outright stated they would leave the country if Trump won the 2016 presidential election.
(Spoiler alert: He did. They didn’t.)
It’s also important to remember that Schiff’s relationship with the truth could charitably described as “casual.”
Back in February 2019, he told CNN’s “State of the Union” that there was evidence of “collusion” between the Trump campaign and Russia “in plain sight.”

During the farcical proceedings surrounding the impeachment proceedings this year, Schiff repeatedly claimed he did not know the identity of the “whistleblower” whose complaint about a Trump phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky sparked the Democratic attempt to dislodge a sitting president.
Considering the identity of the “whistleblower” was probably the worst kept secret in Washington, no one with any sense — probably not even liberals — believed Schiff then.
But even in a joke, there might be some truth.
As the point man on the impeachment effort, Schiff knows firsthand what it feels like to try to take down the president and end up in abject failure. He knows that frustration, and it’s possible he sees more of it ahead.

Despite an onslaught of unrest from Black Lives Matter radicals, malicious attacks from dishonest Democrats like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the ever-Democrat-accommodating mainstream media, Trump is not only not defeated, if his primary numbers are any indication, his support is as solid as ever.
As the New York Post reported June 20, Trump’s primary vote totals have trounced previous incumbents facing no or only token competition like then-President Barack Obama in 2012 and then-President George W. Bush in 2004.
