prisonplanet--2020-03-10--“Mission Accomplished”?: President Xi Declares Victory Over Coronavirus In Visit To Wuhan

“ Mission Accomplished ” ?
: President Xi Declares Victory Over Coronavirus In Visit To Wuhan Almost exactly one month ago , President Xi , clad in a facemask and protective gear , ventured out of the Imperial City and out into the Beijing neighborhoods where he visited with hospital workers and posed for photos for the state-run media .
Looking back , his decision to show up in person and visit with doctors and nurses probably accomplished what he intended : it gave the Chinese people hope that the leadership had not forgotten them , and that while the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ punitive at times , the Communist Party would continue to do what it feels it must to maintain social order and protect the Chinese people .
One month later , President Xi is making his second major public visit since the outbreak began in late December .
This time , he ’ s traveling to Wuhan – the epicenter of the outbreak – in what appears to be a “ Mission Accomplished ” moment for the leader of the world ’ s largest country in its battle against the novel coronavirus and Covid-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Xi has left the on-the-ground work to his No .
2 , Premier Li Keqiang .
On Tuesday , while Chinese state media touted the visit as a sign that “ victory is near ” , Xi stopped at Huoshenshan , one of two hastily-built “ hospitals ” ( quarantine center/prison ) built in under two weeks between January and February , during the worst of the outbreak in Wuhan .
Presumably to maximize the potency of the propaganda visit , the announcement was closely followed by numerous articles highlighting China ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as the SCMP pointed out .
State financial news wire Xinhua published testimonials from some of the female nurses – female nurses being a heavily leaned-upon trope for the government during its propaganda war – sent to Wuhan to help alleviate the massive shortage of personnel and supplies .
In one piece of commentary , Xinhua ‘ explained ’ the importance of Xi ’ s visit with a syllogism .
State media reported that during his visit to Wuhan , Xi “ would inspect the prevention and control work ” in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commanders , community workers , public security officers , grass-roots and frontline cadres , as well as volunteers , patients and residents .
Of course , some questioned whether he was ever there , though the state press released photos that showed Xi in a mask visiting what appeared to be Huoshenshan .
To be sure , there ’ s little doubt that the situation in China is improving , clearly due to their draconian lockdowns that left up to half the country at one point living in zones where their movements were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a further downturn in the number of new cases announced by China ’ s National Health Commission , not that experts ever really trusted the data .
Of the 19 new infections reported by the NHC early Tuesday , 17 were in Wuhan , while the remaining two were “ imported ” cases of the disease , or at least that would seem to fit with the new focus of the regime ’ s propaganda : tightening restrictions on visitors from the US , Italy and other countries impacted by the virus , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t shown China appropriate deference for its “ sacrifice ” in containing the outbreak… This article was posted : Tuesday , March 10 , 2020 at 7:21 am

Greek Government : Only Four Per Cent of ‘ Refugees ’ Breaching Border Are Syrian Just four per cent of the supposed refugees who have breached the Greek border in recent days are Syrians , according to the Greek government .
Recep Tayyip Erdogan , the Islamist president of Turkey , claimed he was opening his borders to Europe in response to the threat of a fresh wave of refugees from Syria — despite the fact his reason for invading the north of the country was , ostensibly , to carve out a safe zone for Syrian refugees to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government reports that only a small minority of the migrants who have breached their border defences since Erdogan “ opened the gates ” are Syrian — and even then many are said to be people long-established in Turkey , not new migrants fleeing the fighting between Turkey , its jihadist rebel clients , and the Russian- and Iranian-backed Syrian government .
The vast majority of the migrants detained in Greece , the government claims , are actually Afghans , comprising 64 per cent of the total .
Migrants from Pakistan account for almost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ per cent , with migrants from Turkey itself in third place , at 5 per cent .
Syrians are said to be in a distant fourth place , at just four per cent , followed by Somali migrants at 2.6 per cent , with migrants from countries across Asia and Africa including Iraq , Iran , Ethiopia , Morocco , Bangladesh , and Egypt accounting collectively for 5.4 per cent .
The Turkish government disputes the Greek government ’ s numbers , however , suggesting that well over a hundred thousand migrants have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few hundred as the Greeks suggest .

Austria is imposing a blanket ban on all people entering from Italy unless they have a medical certificate , Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has proclaimed , though Austrians currently in Italy are strongly encouraged to return .
“ There will be an entry ban for people [ travelling ] from Italy to Austria , with people who have a medical certificate being an exception , ” Kurz said on Tuesday , as cited by local media .
Meanwhile , Austrians who find themselves in Italy will be allowed to return , but “ they must be kept in isolation for two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police will scrutinize movement at the Italian border .
“ A transit through Austria is allowed as long as there is no stopover in Austria , ” the official said , noting that cross-border traffic in both directions has already dropped by more than half .
Simultaneously , the government is calling off lectures at universities and professional schools starting from next Monday , while companies will encourage staff to work from home .
Austria has reported over 150 confirmed coronavirus cases so far , which is considered by many to be “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acknowledged .
But its lethality is so high that the government can ’ t go soft on the disease , he explained .
The sweeping measures come as all of Italy has been placed under quarantine by decree of the prime minister , with the government stepping up its efforts to contain the Covid-2019 outbreak .
The deadly disease has so far affected more than 9,000 people in the country – home to 60 million – and has killed 463 .

prisonplanet--2020-03-10--By tagging Trump’s Biden video as ‘manipulated’ Twitter actually manipulates US electorate

By tagging Trump ’ s Biden video as ‘ manipulated ’ Twitter actually manipulates US electorate Imagine thinking so little of Americans ’ intelligence to label a factual video clip ‘ manipulated ’ because it ’ s being used as a meme in the presidential election campaign .
Twitter just did that , following in Facebook ’ s footsteps .
For the first time ever , Twitter applied a ‘ manipulated ’ tag to a video retweeted by President Donald Trump and shared by his social media director Dan Scavino .
Mainstream media critics of the president were really excited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ deceptively edited.
” “ We can not get re-elect [ sic ] ….we can not win this re-election… excuse me , we can only re-elect Donald Trump , ” the video shows Democrat front-runner Joe Biden telling a crowd .
According to Twitter and the mainstream media , this is deceptive because the clip leaves out the ending : “ …if in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad here.
” The full video of Biden ’ s remarks makes it clear that he didn ’ t really endorse Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out there would think he did , merely that the 78-year-old establishment Democrat is having trouble stringing a coherent sentence together , even with the help of a teleprompter .
Last month , when Twitter announced that it would flag posts containing “ synthetic or manipulated ” media , the only thing clear about its rules was that their wording was so vague they would effectively be arbitrary .
According to those rules , a tweet may be labeled as “ deceptive ” if the context in which it is shared “ could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ suggests a deliberate intent to deceive people.
” Who gets to decide that ?
Twitter .
Or should that be the Ministry of Truth ?
Keep in mind that the US has constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech – which through some rather creative legal reasoning does not actually apply to private companies , so Twitter , or Facebook , or YouTube have in effect been able to throttle , demonetize , shadowban or just plain kick off anyone whose politics they disagree with .
A Project Veritas undercover video from January 2018 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behind “ shadowbanning.
” A July 2019 story in the Washington Examiner documents the political activism of a senior engineer at the company – which continues to this day .
Just last week , there was another social media first , when Facebook removed a series of Trump re-election ads .
This happened after complaints by Democrat activists , lawmakers and media that the “ official census ” wording was “ misleading ” and confusing .
While that may have been true about the titles of the ads , the actual text made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voluntarily share their information with the campaign – not harvesting it without asking , like , say , Facebook .
Quoting politicians out of context is indeed misleading .
It ’ s also the oldest tactic in the book .
The mainstream media have happily done it to Trump over and over – recall the “ fine people ” remark about Charlottesville , or insinuation he called all Mexicans “ rapists , ” or all illegal immigrants “ animals.
” There were no corrections , no apologies , no flagging for misleading or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ month , when Democrats demanded the removal or flagging of a Trump ad showing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ripping up his State of the Union speech – because it showed her doing it repeatedly , as he made various points , instead of just once at the end – the social media giants refused , saying it did not violate any of their policies .
Now both companies have suddenly reversed course and are happy to give in to pressure – so long as it comes from one side , anyway @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or “ manipulated ” social media posts swayed US elections has always been an insult to Americans ’ intelligence , coming from people who clearly believe democracy is too important to be left to the voters .
If social media is indeed crucial to American elections – as Democrats themselves have argued , albeit while attempting to blame phantom ‘ Russians ’ rather than their own disguised operatives seeking to meddle and influence – then this type of arbitrary standard amounts to putting not a thumb , but a fist , on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gone unnoticed .
“ We ’ re seeing an intentional and coordinated effort by established gatekeepers to equate political speech they don ’ t like with the entirely separate categories of doctored deep fakes , illegal content , and deceptive cheap fakes , ” FCC commissioner Brendan Carr said in response to the Twitter controversy .
The question now is what is to be done about it .

Beijing objects to term ‘ Wuhan coronavirus , ’ and says it may not have originated in China China ’ s foreign ministry on Monday objected to the expression “ Wuhan coronavirus ” — saying the name will “ stigmatize ” the country — following remarks from U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo .
The objection marks the latest from Beijing leaders and the country ’ s state-controlled media , which have gone as far as to claim that the coronavirus outbreak , which was first reported in the central province of Hubei , may not have started in China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first reported to the World Health Organization in December last year , after emerging in the central city of Wuhan .
Since then , COVID-19 has spread to more than 100 countries , infected over 100,000 people and killed at least 3,800 globally .
Most of those infected and killed so far were in China .
Asked about Pompeo ’ s use of the term at a scheduled press briefing on Monday , the Chinese foreign ministry said it was a “ despicable practice ” to call the virus the “ Wuhan coronavirus.

prisonplanet--2020-03-10--Commander Of US Army Europe May Have Been Exposed To Coronavirus: Pentagon

Commander Of US Army Europe May Have Been Exposed To Coronavirus : Pentagon So far the coronavirus has yet to penetrate top Washington political and defense official ranks , some close calls notwithstanding , which would likely be devastating ( as in the case of Iran ’ s government which last week saw 10 % of parliament infected ) , given that Congressional and administration and Pentagon staff tend to work in very close proximity — not to mention that the average age of Congress members is around 60-years old .
But in a sign that top Pentagon ranks not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ risk exposure , the Army announced late in the day Monday the commander of US Army Europe has likely been exposed to Covid-19 and is now in self-quarantine .
“ The commander of U.S. Army Europe , along with several staff members , may have been exposed to the coronavirus during a recent conference , the Army said on Monday , ” Reuters reports .
Lieutenant General Christopher Cavoli is now said to be “ self-monitoring ” and working remotely , also distancing himself from other staff members , the statement added .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Europe in January 2018 .
The exposure is reported to have occurred when a foreign participant since confirmed with coronavirus attended an international security conference in Wiesbaden , Germany last week .
“ Out of an abundance of caution and following recommended protocols , he and others potentially affected are self-monitoring and working remotely to fulfill their command duties and responsibilities , ” Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy said of the new potential exposure .
“ U.S .
Army Europe public health officials have notified all other U.S. personnel who were at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ welfare of our Soldiers , Families , Civilians , Allies and Partners is a critical priority .
We ’ ll continue to provide them the most up-to-date information on appropriate measures to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 , ” he added .
Thousands of confirmed Covid-19 cases have popped up across Europe , with the epicenter on the continent being in Italy with the vast majority of cases , at over 9,000 infected and 463 deaths reported .
There ’ s currently growing anxiety over the safety of members of Congress as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with growing pressure on Washington leaders to take drastic steps in protecting the health of lawmakers .
Certainly plans to protect the Pentagon , which sees some 25,000 defense and civilian employees work there daily , would be wise at this point .

prisonplanet--2020-03-10--Prof who said ‘whiteness is terrorism’ doubles down, insists he’s ‘right’

Prof who said ‘ whiteness is terrorism ’ doubles down , insists he ’ s ‘ right ’ Trinity College professor Johnny Eric Williams doubled down on his prior statement that “ whiteness is terrorism ” in a recent opinion editorial .
As Campus Reform previously reported , Williams , a sociology professor , tweeted in April 2019 , “ whiteness is terrorism , ” adding , “ all self-identified white people ( no exceptions ) are invested in and collude with systematic white racism/white supremacy.
” Williams ’ tweet came two years after he wrote in a Facebook post @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the racially oppressed to do what people who believe themselves to be ‘ white ’ will not do , put end to the vectors of their destructive mythology of whiteness and their white supremacy system .
# LetThemFuckingDie.
” The professor had just shared an article that suggested the first responders who were called to assist the Republican victims of the congressional baseball shooting in Alexandria should have let the victims “ fucking die.
” Williams later referred to white people as “ inhuman assholes , ” for which he was later placed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the congressional baseball shooting post that landed Williams in hot water , the professor has penned an opinion editorial for the Hartford Courant , explaining why he was “ right ” to say that “ whiteness is terrorism.
” “ Whiteness by its very definition and operation as a key element of white supremacy kills ; it is mental and physical terrorism , ” Williams writes .
“ To end the white terrorism that is directed at racially oppressed people here and in other nations , it is essential that self-identified whites @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oppressed confront their white problem head-on , unencumbered by racial comfort .
Such comfortableness enables folks immersed in whiteness to disregard their complicity in systemic white racism , forestalling the destruction of white supremacy , ” the professor added .
Earlier in the op-ed , Williams claimed “ there is no ‘ white race , ' ” saying , “ whiteness is a shared conglomeration of fabricated meanings and ideas about biologically insignificant human differences .
Whiteness only exists in relation or opposition to blackness and other fictitious racial categories created by whiteness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ higher status and material advantage over other people that are excluded from being white.

prisonplanet--2020-03-10--As Stock Market Tanks, Trump Shills Charlie Kirk’s Book ‘The MAGA Doctrine’

President Trump got in bed with the GOP establishment after getting elected and embraced the GDP First agenda of the Paul Ryan donor-wing of the party ( which funds Charlie Kirk ) rather than embrace the America First agenda he ran on and now his chickens are coming home to roost .
On Monday , as the stock market opened down some 2,000 points and trading had to be halted , President Trump was busy shilling for Charlie Kirk ’ s terrible new book , “ The MAGA Doctrine “ : He retweeted Kirk seven times in a row : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s chosen to align himself with .
The “ MAGA doctrine ” Kirk preaches on behalf of his megadonors is just liberal globalism ( though one exception applies ) : Incidentally , Kirk apparently grifted his way into the Trump administration through Don Jr : As all the people who put their necks on the line in early 2015 and 2016 got censored , banned and jailed , Trump buddied up with Charlie Kirk and megadonors like Sheldon Adelson and Paul Singer .
As Bannon told 60 Minutes , after getting elected Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Instead of championing immigration restrictionism , protectionism and an end to foreign wars , Trump decided to champion the black unemployment rate and the roaring stock market because — as his campaign manager Brad Parscale said — his base are “ voters we already have.
” After spending his early morning hours shilling Kirk ’ s book , Trump finally decided to address the elephant in the room .
Trump actually waited months before taking any steps to restrict air travel — even though this was the perfect opportunity to follow through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didn ’ t want to spook the markets .
Imagine how much better the situation would be right now if Trump shut down the border back in December or early January instead of “ monitoring ” the situation .
The CDC had only tested 1,583 people as of Saturday .
China and South Korea appear to have managed to control the spread of the virus rather effectively by shutting down their cities entirely and conducting mass testing .
We ’ re not doing any of that and we just have to hope and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weather warms .

prisonplanet--2020-03-10--Auschwitz Memorial Slams Anti-Nazi Amazon Show for Fake ‘Human Chess’ Death Camp Scene

The official Auschwitz Memorial castigated the writers behind Amazon ’ s political revenge pornography series “ Hunters ” for their invention of a ludicrous “ human chess ” scene set at at Auschwitz .
According to Auschwitz Memorial , the creation of new Holocaust lore by the showrunners is “ dangerous foolishness and caricature ” that “ welcomes future deniers.
” “ Auschwitz was full of horrible pain & suffering documented in the accounts of survivors .
Inventing a fake game of human chess for @ huntersonprime is not only dangerous foolishness & caricature , ” Auschwitz Memorial wrote .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ We honor the victims by preserving factual accuracy.
” The show “ Hunters , ” whose executive producers include Win Rosenfeld and bit comedian-turned-political film director Jordan Peele , features a scene where Jewish inmates are forced to play “ human chess ” for the amusement of evil Nazi camp guards .
These and other fictional events are seemingly meant to make the audience enraged and eager for the poorly choreographed CGI murder and torture of white “ Nazis ” later in the show ’ s plot .
Unfortunately for “ Hunters , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ World War Two as fodder for current-year political comparisons and glorification of political violence seems to have run its course .
Racialized marketing for the show included a YouTube video titled “ NFL Players React to the Hunters Trailer ” which featured an all-black assortment of athletes watching and commenting on the trailer .
The video received a dislike-to-like ratio of over 15 to 1 .
Producer David Weil later defended the human chess scene as something which would “ most powerfully counteract the revisionist narrative that whitewashes Nazi perpetration , by showcasing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — sadism and violence that the Nazis perpetrated against the Jews and other victims.
” “ Representationally truthful , ” the human chess scene is not .
In fact , it ’ s so untruthful that the official Auschwitz Memorial had to come out and condemn it .

prisonplanet--2020-03-10--The Coronavirus Goes To Washington D.C., And It Is Spreading Fear Like Crazy

The Coronavirus Goes To Washington D.C. , And It Is Spreading Fear Like Crazy New coronavirus cases inside the United States are increasingly being announced late in the evening after the financial markets have closed , and I certainly don ’ t blame officials for trying to minimize the fear that is spreading across the nation like wildfire .
But I have to say that it has been stunning to sit here and watch the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. go from just above 600 to more than 750 in just a couple of hours .
Initially , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attempted to make light of this crisis , but now that confirmed cases are popping up in Washington D.C. , Maryland and Virginia , this crisis has suddenly become very real for many of them .
In fact , there is now chatter that Congress could soon be completely closed down for a period of time in order “ to protect lawmakers ” … It would be nice if they were that concerned about protecting the rest of us , but I can definitely understand their desire for self-preservation .
But just a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ D.C. was very different .
In fact , U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz thought that it would be really funny to wear a gas mask when he voted on a coronavirus bill on March 4th… I have always admired his fighting spirit , but mocking those that were concerned about this virus was completely inappropriate .
And now we have learned that he is one of the members of Congress that has been forced to “ self-quarantine ” .
In fact , this news broke shortly after he took a ride on Air Force @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not infected and that he did not expose anyone on board Air Force One to the virus .
If what I just shared with you was not bad enough , now we have learned that Trump ’ s new chief of staff has also been forced into self-quarantine… It is a good sign that the initial test came back negative , and let us pray that Meadows will be perfectly fine .
Meanwhile , a priest in Washington D.C. has become a confirmed case just a week after he “ shook hands with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ following comes from reporter Sam Sweeney… Was he infected when he shook all of those hands ?
Let us hope not .
Before too long , hardly anyone is going to want to shake hands anymore .
People are deathly afraid of this virus because they are watching what is going on elsewhere in the world .
In Italy , the government has decided to try to quarantine the entire countrybecause the death toll just keeps spiraling higher .
This virus is no laughing matter .
It is being reported that some residents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Washington have gone from showing no symptoms at all to dropping dead “ in just a matter of hours ” … Life Care Center of Kirkland , Washington , outside of Seattle , has seen 15 of its residents die after contracting COVID-19 , and dozens of its workers haven fallen ill .
The center ’ s remaining 55 residents are going to be tested for the virus , and while only six of them are currently sick , that doesn ’ t necessarily mean good news , The New York Times reports @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Life Care “ had seen some residents go from no symptoms to death in just a matter of a few hours.
” “ It was surprising and shocking to us that we have seen that level of escalation from symptoms to death , ” said Tim Killian , a spokesperson for the nursing home .
Efforts to contain the spread from Life Care aren ’ t going well either , seeing as 70 of the center ’ s 180 workers were out sick as of Sunday , but “ there weren ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” the Times reports .
The more that we learn about this virus , the more frightening it becomes .
In New Jersey , the very first confirmed case says that COVID-19 spread very rapidly “ to both his lungs ” … Does that sound like something you want to catch ?
Of course not .
I am still hoping that this outbreak will start to subside before it becomes a horrifying global pandemic that kills millions of people .
But so far all efforts to contain this virus have failed , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In fact , New York has apparently developed a plan to use convicts “ to bury the dead ” … I don ’ t know about you , but to me those two paragraphs are extremely chilling .
And as this outbreak intensifies , we continue to get more warnings that our already stressed healthcare system will soon be utterly overwhelmed… So what are we going to do ?
Will we start setting up temporary “ quarantine camps ” like they have in China ?
If this outbreak continues to escalate , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country that would have been unimaginable just a few weeks ago .
The best way to ensure that you never have to deal with this virus is to avoid it completely .
Unfortunately , that is exceedingly difficult to do because scientists are discovering that this virus spreads from person to person incredibly easily… Once this virus is in every community in the United States , how will you avoid it ?
Some people will simply decide to stay home for as long as it takes , but for most people that just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will never get to that point .
Hopefully this outbreak will really begin to fade when winter ends .
But at this moment the immediate future looks very bleak , and immense fear is spreading all across America .

Here Are 18 Breathtaking Facts About The Stock Market Crash Of 2020, And Experts Are Warning This Is Far From Over

Here Are 18 Breathtaking Facts About The Stock Market Crash Of 2020 , And Experts Are Warning This Is Far From Over We haven ’ t seen anything like this since the last financial crisis erupted in 2008 .
Wall Street has been gripped by a tremendous amount of fear , and the volatility that we are witnessing would have been unimaginable just a couple of months ago .
On Monday , the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2,013 points .
To put that in perspective , the largest single day decline that we witnessed in 2008 was just 777 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Russia about oil prices coupled with increasing concern about the coronavirus pushed many traders into panic mode , and the result was absolutely stunning .
Hopefully stock prices will bounce back throughout the rest of this week , but many experts are warning that this is just the beginning of the carnage .
The stock market crash of 2020 is here , and the losses are already staggering .
Just consider these facts… # 1 We just watched the largest single day point decline in stock market history .
The old record @ @ @ @ @ @ @ February 27th , and the drop on Monday smashed it by more than 800 points .
# 2 The 7.79 % decline for the Dow was the largest single day percentage drop since October 15th , 2008 .
# 3 Stocks plummeted so rapidly Monday morning that a key market circuit breaker was triggered just minutes after the opening bell .
# 4 It was the very first time since 1997 that a market circuit breaker has been triggered .
# 5 Overall , the Dow Jones Industrial Average is now down 19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ witnessed just three weeks ago .
# 6 The S & P 500 is also down 19 percent from the peak of the market .
# 7 The Russell 2000 has plummeted 23.5 percent , and it is now firmly in bear market territory .
# 8 On Monday , tech ’ s “ big five ” lost more than 320 billion dollars in market value .
# 9 According to Zero Hedge , total U.S. trading volume “ on a 10-day moving average basis , is now higher than during the meltdown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stocks are being dumped at a pace that is absolutely mind blowing .
# 10 The yield on 10 year Treasury notes dipped below 0.5 percent on Monday for the first time ever .
# 11 The price of oil fell more than 24 percent during Monday ’ s trading session .
# 12 That represented the second largest single day oil price decline ever recorded .
# 13 The S & P 500 Energy Sector dropped 20 percent on Monday , and that was the worst day for that index that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ major U.S. banking stocks fell by double-digit percentages during Monday ’ s session .
# 15 European stocks are now down a total of 22.5 percent from the peak of the market .

Teen Suicide Up 76 % Over the Last Decade – CDC From 2007-2017 , the rates of suicide have been on the rise in teenage people , due to many factors , teen suicide is now 76 % higher than only a decade ago .
These are the statistics from the report presented by the Center for Disease Control : • An overall increase in suicide for 10-24 years olds was 56 % • The rate of the increase for 15-19-year-olds rose to 10 % from 2014 to 2017 .

China ’ s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Claims “ US Army ” May Have Started Coronavirus Outbreak in Wuhan China ’ s Foreign Ministry spokesman has sensationally blamed the U.S. Army for starting the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan .
The day after President Donald Trump shut down travel from European countries for 30 days , Zhao Lijian made the outlandish assertion that the U.S. itself was responsible for starting the pandemic .
“ It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan , ” tweeted Lijian , adding “ Be transparent !
Make public your data !
US owe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ included the testimony of CDC Director Robert Redfield to the House Oversight Committee , in which Redfield revealed that early COVID-19 cases in the United States were initially mistaken for regular influenza .
“ CDC was caught on the spot .
When did patient zero begin in US ?
How many people are infected ?
What are the names of the hospitals ?
” asked Lijian .
“ So it appears the official Chinese party line is now that the virus originated in the United States !
” comments Zero Hedge .
Apparently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outrageous claims but this one probably tops them all .
Whether or not the ruling Communist Party echoes his sentiments remains to be seen .

Even as coronavirus ravages the rest of Europe , Russia , which closed its entire border back in January , still has zero recorded deaths from COVID-19 .
The latest numbers out of Russia show that just 28 people are recorded to be infected with coronavirus .
There have been zero fatalities .
Compare these numbers to other European countries .

As the Moscow Times highlights , Russia closed “ most entry points along its 4,200-kilometer border with China , ordering people returning from high-risk areas to self-quarantine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country.
” They did this back in January , while the World Health Organization was simultaneously ordering countries not to profile and not to take any border control measures that would stop the international flow of people .
Singapore , which despite its proximity to China has recorded only 189 cases of coronavirus and zero deaths , also closed its border back in January .

prisonplanet--2020-03-12--Mayor of Florence Encouraged Italians to “Hug a Chinese” Before Coronavirus Pandemic Hit

Mayor of Florence Encouraged Italians to “ Hug a Chinese ” Before Coronavirus Pandemic Hit The Mayor of Florence is facing fresh criticism after he encouraged Italians to “ Hug a Chinese ” as a stand against racism before Italy was later forced to quarantine its entire country because of the coronavirus .
The story is yet another illustration of how political correctness can actually sometimes be dangerous if not fatal .
Italy is now under a complete lockdown after the country was ravaged by coronavirus .
Current figures show over 12,000 recorded infections with 827 deaths .
Many observers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for not taking tougher measures earlier , but their reaction was significantly less embarrassing than how Mayor of Florence Dario Nardella responded to the outbreak .
Back in February , as the first cases of coronavirus were being recorded in Italy , Nardella launched an anti-racism hashtag campaign which translates as “ hug a Chinese.
” “ Half-empty Chinese restaurants , suspicious looks when you meet a Chinese on the street – maybe born and raised in Italy – psychosis when the bus neighbor sneezes , this is the effect of Coronavirus on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
A video shows a Chinese man wearing a blindfold and a face mask in Florence asking for hugs .
Numerous people embrace the man while some physically remove his blindfold and mask .
The Mayor even released a Twitter video of himself hugging an awkward-looking Chinese person to promote the campaign , which was launched to “ stem the hatred ” and “ express solidarity with the Chinese community.
” Suffice to say Nardella is a member of the left-wing Democratic Party in Italy .
One wonders if he sees the empty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absurd campaign contributed to the current state of Italy .

Democrats Want To REVERSE Trump ’ s Travel Bans Despite Coronavirus Spread Legislation would allow carriers to arrive in US unimpeded 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .
Fauci ’ s comments come at the 1:00:39 mark “ Whenever you look at the history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” 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.
” 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 : This article was posted : Thursday , March 12 , 2020 at 8:29 am

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.

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 .
A disclaimer sent out to patrons by New York Show Tickets Inc. informs them that a ticket deal to see Producer Scott Rudin ’ s currently sold out shows is “ unprecedented ” in its discounted price but “ does come with the inherent risk of being exposed to the currently incurable , and possibly deadly , Coronavirus.

Erdogan : ‘ No Difference ’ Between Greek Border Guards and the Nazis President Erdogan of Turkey said that there is “ no difference ” between Greek forces trying to protect the nation ’ s border and the Nazis .
The Islamist leader ramped up the rhetoric in the ongoing dispute with Turkey and the European Union as tens of thousands of asylum seekers attempt to flood into the bloc through the Greek border .
Mr Erdogan accused Greek forces of acting like “ barbarians ” and “ fascists ” .
“ There is no difference between what the Nazis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the Greek border , ” Erdogan said of Greek border guards using tear gas to prevent migrants storming through border barriers , according to the Greek newspaper Kathimerini .
The slur against Greece is notable , as some 300,000 people were killed during the 1941 Nazi occupation of the country , which near-wiped out Greece ’ s Jewish population .
The comments from Mr Erdogan came in the wake of a heated summit in Brussels , in which the Islamist leader walked out of a meeting with the President of the European @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Council President Charles Michel after the two sides failed to come to an agreement on the terms of the 2016 deal on migration .

When karma strikes back ?
NBA suspends season after Utah Jazz player who MOCKED coronavirus fears tests positive ( VIDEO ) The National Basketball Association ( NBA ) has ended its season early after Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert – who made light of the coronavirus scare at a recent press conference – was confirmed to be carrying the disease .
“ The NBA is suspending game play following the conclusion of tonight ’ s schedule of games until further notice , ” the league said in a statement on Wednesday night , adding that it would “ use this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forward in regard to the coronavirus pandemic.
” Gobert , who the league said had “ preliminarily tested positive for Covid-19 , ” has come under fire over a recent press conference , where the player deliberately wiped his hands on journalists ’ microphones and recorders before leaving the press event , apparently mocking the intense reaction to the lethal outbreak .
The stunt has earned Gobert the title of the “ dumbest player in NBA history ” in some quarters , with outrage quickly lighting up social media over his disregard for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deemed a global pandemic .
The decision to suspend the remainder of the NBA season came after a game between Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder was postponed just prior to tipoff , after Gobert ’ s test came back positive .

It didn ’ t take long for things to start falling apart after Harry and Meghan Markle went back to the United Kingdom for their final act as royals .
Meghan has reportedly been calling the royal family “ weird ” to her family and friends .
According to a Daily Mail exclusive , Meghan Markle described her final trip as a royal to be “ bittersweet ” and that she was “ eager to get back home to Archie ” before they officially lost their royal status on March 31 .
The report went on to say that she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friends that the recent trip to the UK was “ confirmation ” that leaving the royal family was the right decision to make .
Meghan also told her friends that she was “ relieved ” that her son Archie , didn ’ t join them on the trip , which reportedly saddened his great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth , who was hoping to spend some more time with him .
“ She said it ’ s not like she was intentionally keeping [ Archie ] away , but it made no sense to bring him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way , ” Meghan ’ s friend said .
Meghan has no problem sharing her feelings about the royal family and took it step further by calling them ‘ weird ’ and more specifically that Kate Middleton , is “ uptight ” .
“ She said [ the trip ] has been a confirmation that they made the right choice in parting ways .
There ’ s no warmth between the family members and she wants to raise Archie in a household that is filled with laughter and joy and lots of hugs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s said , according to a Daily Mail exclusive .
“ It ’ s still weird to her that no one hugs and that everyone is so uptight , especially Kate , ” the friend added .
“ She said it ’ s obvious that Kate and William do not approve of their choices and that you could cut the tension with a knife .
Kate barely even looked at her and their interaction was kept to a bare minimum.
” It ’ s no surprise that things are very uncomfortable between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the royal family .
We ’ re less that two months out from when the bombshell announcement was made and shook the centuries old foundation of the royal family .
This week at Westminster Abbey , you could have cut the tension in the room with knife .
This video shows Harry and Meghan greeting William and Kate with an extremely awkward “ hello ” that raised eyebrows all over the world .
As you can see in the video below , Kate Middleton was nearly expressionless as she seemed to avoid any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ source recently told the Daily Mail that Kate Middleton has taken the split of the royals “ Badly ” .
Kate reportedly finds Megxit to be “ very sad , ” referencing the once “ happy trio ” between her , William and Harry—which was before Meghan Markle disrupted family .
Meghan should have understood when she joined the royal family that things would be different .
Instead , she ’ s acting like a royal brat and wanting to have her cake and eat it too .
Given the fact that whooped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , she should know that they would be less than thrilled to have someone from the Americas join the family .
Like most liberals , Meghan Markle is playing the victim and clearly trying to push the narrative that she is ‘ oppressed ’ and that Hollywood should give her lots of money and big role in the next super-hero movie to come out .
Once again , Meghan is acting like a spoiled brat .
Who does she think she is calling the practices of the royal family “ weird ” ?

A group gun shop owners say traditionally have a low gun ownership rate .
Apparently , many Americans of Chinese descent are worried about people committing “ racist ” violence against them because the coronavirus reportedly originated in Wuhan , China .
The Trace and the Daily Beast co-published an article by Champe Barton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new gun purchases .
While some frenetic folks are busy hoarding bleach , hand sanitizer , Lysol , bottled water , and—for some reason—toilet paper , others are buying guns .
One Chinese American gun-store owner in Los Angeles said , “ People are panicking because they don ’ t feel secure .
They worry about a riot or maybe that people will start to target the Chinese.
” This gun storeowner reported five times more sales than during the last two weeks .
He said he ’ s had some customers ask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protection firearms .
In fact , he said he ’ s sold out of his Glock-brand handguns .
Gun stores in Washington State are reporting a similar sales explosion .
Wade ’ s Eastside Guns in Bellevue is reporting six times more sales over the previous two weeks .
As with the California gun shop , his customers were also primarily Asian and first-time buyers .
Tiffany Teasdale , an owner of Lynnwood Gun and Ammunition , also reports about six times more in “ sales over the past two weeks , predominately @ @ @ @ @ @ @ normally sell about a dozen guns in a weekend .
She said they sold 60 firearms on just one recent Saturday .
Teasdale added that other local gun stores have had similar increases .
She said , “ her distributors had run out of 9mm ammunition.
” The Bellevue Police Department is also reporting a “ spike in demand ” for background checks .
BPD ’ s public information officer , Meeghan Black , said , “ The officer who processes these checks said he ’ s been processing the last ten years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this in his life.
” I perused the web for news stories about “ hate crimes ” against Asian Americans related to the virus .
There seem to be some anecdotal reports of “ racist ” aggression toward Asians in Los Angeles , and I saw a report of a coronavirus-related assault on an Asian person in London , England .
However , in Washington State , they report , “ So far , police departments and civil rights groups in cities experiencing increased gun sales have received no reports of violent attacks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said it hadn ’ t received a single complaint since the first U.S. case of coronavirus made headlines .
And Bellevue borders Kirkland , where a majority of the U.S. deaths from the virus have occurred at a nursing home .
OneAmerica , an immigrant rights organization in Seattle , said they ’ d heard people were avoiding Chinese restaurants , but “ had not heard about any hate crimes in the Seattle area.
” So , we have to ask why the paranoia in the Chinese/Asian American community ?
Who is stoking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ read some reports on leftist sources like NPR and CNN regarding what appeared to be individual acts of racist stupidity , but nothing signaling any mass hostility toward Asian folks .
But these outlets are not averse to fake news , so nothing surprises me about their irresponsible reporting .
Avoiding Chinese restaurants ( which I have not done and don ’ t plan to do ) is in most cases not racist but a simple overreaction .
Kind of like the overreaction of buying guns because you ’ re afraid your neighbors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with no empirical evidence of that happening .
I ’ m certain if the virus originated in Athens or Paris these same people would avoid Greek or French restaurants .
Or if originating in Dublin , avoid Irish pubs—I don ’ t even want to imagine such a calamity .
While I wince at the fear , paranoid or not , causing Americans of any racial or ethnic group to run out and buy guns , I think there may be a positive that comes out of this fear .
According to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ low rates of gun ownership .
So , while this particular xenophobic phantom may not be real , the instinct to want a gun to protect yourself is a good one .
Any increase in people understanding how important the Second Amendment is to our liberty , is a benefit to all Americans .
These neophyte gun enthusiasts are learning that even the possibility of an attack from which the government ( law enforcement ) can not protect you , exists .
And they want to be prepared for their self-defense .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a victim of violent crime exists every day , not just when there is some health crisis .
And the only thing you can count on when someone ’ s outside your home with a gun , banging on your door , intent on hurting you is you…with a gun…to protect that home and your family .

Whatcom Community College Students for Life discovered what pro-lifers are up against by praying outside of a Planned Parenthood abattoir in Bellingham , just up the Left Coast from Seattle .
People drove by the group of four students Saturday “ yelling obscenities and displaying crude gestures , ” according to a Students for Life press release .
One man masturbated in a car “ towards the group ” as his friend drove slowly by the protesters , it said .
Another woman flashed the group while yelling , “ My body , my choice , ” according to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but they don ’ t get a choice , being as helpless as they are innocent .
The press release also noted that a group of people “ yelled threateningly in one young student ’ s face , calling him a ‘ cocksucker , ’ ” and that a man rode his bike past the students and threw a glass vial at them that shattered .
Bullying goes all the way to the top with anti-lifers .

prisonplanet--2020-03-12--Fear Of The Coronavirus Is Causing A Stock Market Apocalypse

Fear Of The Coronavirus Is Causing A Stock Market Apocalypse In all of U.S. history , we have never seen the Dow Jones Industrial Average go from an all-time high to a bear market as quickly as we just did .
As I keep reminding my readers , the stock market is all about how investors view the future .
Early this year , extremely irrational optimism about the future pushed stock prices to the most overvalued levels that we have ever seen , but now things have completely changed .
Fear of the coronavirus has many investors fearing an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seen volatility on Wall Street that is absolutely insane .
On Monday we witnessed the largest single day point decline in the history of the Dow , on Tuesday stocks came roaring back , and then on Wednesday we witnessed the second largest single day point decline in the history of the Dow .
As I have previously explained numerous times , we see huge waves of momentum during any stock market crash , and I am sure we will see many more as this current implosion continues to play out .
On @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which represented a 20.3 percent decline from the peak on February 12th .
The bull market that began on March 9th , 2009 has finally ended , and U.S. stocks are off to their worst start for a year since the last financial crisis .
But less than 5,000 people around the globe have died from this virus so far .
If we are seeing this much fear now , what is going to happen if millions of people start dying ?
Thankfully , the World Health Organization finally decided to officially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Wednesday… Of course that announcement really rattled investors and the Dow ended up falling 1,464 points .
Banking stocks were hit particularly hard .
But then later in the day we learned that President Trump would be addressing the nation at 9 PM eastern time , and investors were temporarily encouraged .
Unfortunately , investors didn ’ t seem to like what Trump had to say , and Dow futures immediately plummeted about 1,000 points afterwards .
On top of everything else , two major stories broke late Wednesday that shocked the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hanks and his wife have tested positive for the coronavirus , and the entire NBA season was suspended because a Utah Jazz player now has the virus .
Needless to say , every horrifying headline is just going to cause even more chaos for the markets .
At this point , one Goldman Sachs analyst is projecting that the S & P 500 will likely fall quite a bit more in the days ahead… And another analyst believes that we are “ only about halfway ” to the bottom of the market… Of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this coronavirus pandemic will not last for too much longer .
But what if they are wrong ?
What if this pandemic lasts into next year or even longer ?
As stocks fall , people are gobbling up gold and silver coins like crazy .
In fact , millions of Silver Eagles have been sold in recent days… So if you have been waiting all this time for your silver coins to start appreciating in value , it may finally start paying off .
Meanwhile , we are already starting to see workers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S. literally begins to shut down because of this virus .
The following comes from the Washington Post… Sadly , this is just the beginning .
If this crisis lasts long enough , eventually we will see layoffs that are absolutely unprecedented .
And the civil unrest that I keep warning about appears to be already starting as well .
Just check out what just happened at the University of Dayton… You can see a news report about this incident right here .
Of course if this pandemic continues to escalate the civil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much worse in the months ahead .
On Wednesday night , President Trump announced that travel from Europe would be suspended for 30 days .
That is certainly a step in the right direction , but at this point it isn ’ t going to make too much of a difference .
The virus is now in over 100 countries , and it is now spreading in almost every U.S. state .
And what most people don ’ t realize is that this pandemic is far from the only crisis we will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when we will be hit by one thing after another , and most Americans will not be able to handle it .
We are seeing so much fear out there right now , but this is not a time for fear .
This is a time for faith , and it is absolutely critical for you and your family to believe that you can get through this .
Anyone can shine during the best of times , but it is during the worst of times that we discover who we really are .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ extremely challenging , but they will also be a great opportunity to make a tremendous difference in a society that has been gripped by fear and that is starting to spin completely out of control .

prisonplanet--2020-03-12--The Entire Western World Is Starting To Shut Down As Authorities Brace For “Millions” Of Coronavirus

The Entire Western World Is Starting To Shut Down As Authorities Brace For “Millions” Of Coronavirus Cases

The Entire Western World Is Starting To Shut Down As Authorities Brace For “ Millions ” Of Coronavirus Cases Since the end of World War II , have we ever seen the entire globe gripped by so much fear ?
This week , the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. and Europe has absolutely exploded , and authorities all over the western world are rushing to shut down public gatherings of all kinds .
The NCAA has banned fans from upcoming tournament games , the NBA just suspended the entire season because a Utah Jazz player tested positive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been canceled all over the planet .
In both the U.S. and Europe , schools are being shut down for weeks , some universities are telling their students not to come back for the rest of the semester , and a whole host of concerts , conferences , festivals and religious gatherings are either being postponed or canceled altogether .
We have never seen anything like this before , and the implications are staggering .
Keeping everyone at home for a few weeks is one thing .
But what is going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the rest of this calendar year or even longer ?
According to NBC News , the attending physician of Congress believes that “ 70 million to 150 million people in the United States will become infected ” … Right now , there are less than 2,000 confirmed cases in this country and fear is off the charts .
Can you imagine the societal meltdown that will ensue if 70 million Americans get infected ?
Dr. Anthony Fauci is also warning that we we should expect to see “ more cases ” and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worse ” … Unfortunately , these sorts of warnings don ’ t hit home for many Americans until someone that they personally love is affected .
But now that Tom Hanks and his wife have both tested positive , a lot of people that previously did not take this outbreak seriously are now officially freaking out .
Tom Hanks is one of the most greatly loved actors in America , and this is going to be the moment when a lot of Americans finally wake up and realize that this virus is definitely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Over in Europe , things are actually quite a bit worse than they are in the United States right now .
Just like Italy , Denmark has just locked down the entire country , and German Chancellor Angela Merkel continues to warn that 70 percent of the German population could eventually become infected… But it may take a couple of years to get to that number .
So what are we going to do ?
Are we actually going to shut down the entire western world for the foreseeable future ?
If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hopkins has put up , the numbers coming out of Europe right now are like something out of a science fiction movie .
And as I discussed yesterday , the U.S. is on the exact same trajectory .
This is definitely a virus that you want to avoid if at all possible .
In many instances it causes devastating damage to the lungs , and even if you survive your lungs may not ever fully recover .
One of the very first confirmed British cases said that the virus hit him “ like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in blinding pain for weeks ” .
Has the flu ever left you “ in blinding pain for weeks ” ?
Of course not .
And he was one of the fortunate ones that survived .
For those that die , the suffering can be far worse .
I truly don ’ t understand why there are still people out there that are attempting to downplay this pandemic .
This is a truly insidious virus , and numerous experts are warning that it could eventually kill millions .
As I wrap up this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with you an excerpt from a firsthand account from an American that is right in the middle of the nightmare that is currently unfolding in Italy .
I think that you will find what Christina Higgins posted on her Facebook page to be quite sobering… When Prime Minister Conte announced last night that the entire country , 60 million people , would go on lock down , the line that struck me most was “ there is no more time.
” Because to be clear , this national lock down , is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that if the numbers of contagion do not start to go down , the system , Italy , will collapse .
Why ?
Today the ICUs in Lombardy are at capacity – more than capacity .
They have begun to put ICU units in the hallways .
If the numbers do not go down , the growth rate of contagion tells us that there will be thousands of people who in a matter of a week ?
two weeks ?
who will need care .
What will happen when there are 100 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hospital and only a few ICU places left ?
On Monday a doctor wrote in the paper that they have begun to have to decide who lives and who dies when the patients show up in the emergency room , like what is done in war .
This will only get worse .
There are a finite number of drs , nurses , medical staff and they are getting the virus .
They have also been working non-stop , non-stop for days and days .
What happens when the drs , nurses and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ care for the patients , when they are not there ?
And finally for those who say that this is just something that happens to old people , starting yesterday the hospitals are reporting that younger and younger patients – 40 , 45 , 18 , are coming in for treatment .
You have a chance to make a difference and stop the spread in your country .
Push for the entire office to work at home today , cancel birthday parties , and other gatherings , stay home as much as you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , any fever , stay home .
Push for school closures , now .
Anything you can do to stop the spread , because it is spreading in your communities – there is a two week incubation period – and if you do these things now you can buy your medical system time .
And for those who say it is not possible to close the schools , and do all these other things , locking down Italy was beyond anyone ’ s imagination a week ago .
Soon you will not have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can now .
No matter how many reassuring press conferences our leaders hold , and no matter what moves global central banks make , most people are going to want to avoid places where they could become infected as long as this virus keeps spreading .
If our normal lives are interrupted for a few weeks , it ultimately won ’ t be that big of a deal .
But if this crisis just keeps going month after month , it will quickly bring us to the brink of societal collapse .
Let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we definitely need one right now .

prisonplanet--2020-03-12--U.S. Army Abandons $1B Iron Dome Project After Israel Refuses to Share Source Code U.S. Paid For

U.S. Army Abandons $ 1B Iron Dome Project After Israel Refuses to Share Source Code U.S .
Paid For Even though the US has given Israel over $ 142 billion in aid and is slated to hand over another $ 40 billion any day now , Israel has refused to hand over source code they wrote for an Iron Dome missile defense system that was funded by US taxpayers .
From The Times of Israel , “ US Army scraps $ 1b .
Iron Dome project , after Israel refuses to provide key codes ” : The US Army said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Iron Dome missile defense system due to concerns about its compatibility with existing US technologies , scrapping its plans to buy two more batteries and explore long-term integration of the Israel-developed system .
A central problem was Israel ’ s refusal to provide the US military with Iron Dome ’ s source code , hampering the Americans ’ ability to integrate the system into their air defenses .
[ … ] The Army earmarked over $ 1 billion for the project to pluck select Iron Dome components and integrate them with US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by 2023 .
The Israeli Missile Defense Organization and the Army last August inked a deal for two Iron Dome batteries .
Soon thereafter , according to sources , Army officials repeatedly requested Iron Dome “ source code ” — proprietary information detailing how the system works .
Israel supplied engineering information but ultimately declined to provide the source code the Army said it needed to integrate Iron Dome components with US systems .
[ … ] Since 2011 , Congress has provided Israel more than $ 1.5 billion to produce Iron Dome @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Systems .
In August 2011 , Raytheon and Rafael — which partnered on David ’ s Sling , a US-Israeli cooperative missile defense development program — announced an agreement to allow Raytheon to market Iron Dome in the United States .
AIPAC was boasting about the US “ investing ” over $ 1 billion in an Iron Dome project last month during the AIPAC 2020 conference and had a display of one of the missile systems in the venue ’ s basement .

prisonplanet--2020-03-12--U.S. Study Indicates Coronavirus May Survive In The Air For Up to 3 Hours, 3 Days On Certain Surface

U.S. Study Indicates Coronavirus May Survive In The Air For Up to 3 Hours, 3 Days On Certain Surfaces

U.S. Study Indicates Coronavirus May Survive In The Air For Up to 3 Hours , 3 Days On Certain Surfaces A federally funded study reportedly found the coronavirus may survive in the air for up to three hours and survive on surfaces like plastic and stainless steel for some three days .
From The Hill , “ Tests indicate coronavirus can survive in the air ” : A study awaiting peer review from scientists at Princeton University , the University of California-Los Angeles and the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) posted online Wednesday indicated that the COVID-19 virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to 3 hours post aerosolization , ” while remaining alive on plastic and other surfaces for up to three days .
“ Our results indicate that aerosol and fomite transmission of HCoV-19 is plausible , as the virus can remain viable in aerosols for 42 multiple hours and on surfaces up to days , ” reads the study ’ s abstract .
The test results suggest that humans could be infected by the disease simply carried through the air or on a solid surface , even if direct contact with an infected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , if accepted , would come in stark contrast to previous media reports that suggested the virus was not easily transmittable outside of direct human contact .
We found that viable virus could be detected in aerosols up to 3 hours post aerosolization , up to 4 hours on copper , up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to 2-3 days on plastic and stainless steel .
HCoV-19 and SARS-CoV-1 exhibited similar half-lives in aerosols , with median estimates around 2.7 hours .
Both viruses show relatively long viability on stainless steel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : the median half-life estimate for HCoV-19 is around 13 hours on steel and around 16 hours on polypropylene .
Our results indicate that aerosol and fomite transmission of HCoV-19 is plausible , as the virus can remain viable in aerosols for multiple hours and on surfaces up to days .
[ … ] HCoV-19 has been detected in upper and lower respiratory tract samples from patients , with high viral loads in upper respiratory tract samples .
Therefore , virus transmission via respiratory secretions in the form of droplets ( > 5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ microns ) appears to be likely .
Virus stability in air and on surfaces may directly affect virus transmission , as virus particles need to remain viable long enough after being expelled from the host to be taken up by a novel host .
[ … ] HCoV-19 nCoV-WA1-2020 ( MN985325.1 ) and SARS-CoV-1 Tor2 ( AY274119.3 ) were the strains used in our comparison .
Virus stability in aerosols was determined as described previously at 65 % relative humidity ( RH ) and 21-23°C .
“ In ongoing experiments , we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such as nasal secretion , sputum and fecal matter , and while varying environmental conditions , such as temperature and relative humidity , ” the researchers said .
Some early indications and speculations have suggested the virus may be suppressed by high absolute humidity ( i.e .
72 degrees Farenheight inside with 50 % relative humidity obtained with a humidifier ) and may slow down in spring and summer depending on local climates .
Dr. Joseph G. Allen shared similar general advice in the New York Times last week : A study published @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minimum levels of outdoor air ventilation reduced influenza transmission as much as having 50 percent to 60 percent of the people in a building vaccinated .
Buildings typically recirculate some air , which has been shown to lead to higher risk of infection during outbreaks , as contaminated air in one area is circulated to other parts of the building ( as it did in the school with measles ) .
When it ’ s very cold or very hot , the air coming out of the vent in a school classroom or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s a recipe for disaster .
If air absolutely has to be recirculated , you can minimize cross-contamination by enhancing the level of filtration .
Most buildings use low-grade filters that may capture less than 20 percent of viral particles .
Most hospitals , though , use a filter with what ’ s known as a MERV rating of 13 or higher .
And for good reason — they can capture more than 80 percent of airborne viral particles .
For buildings without mechanical ventilation systems , or if you want to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ high-risk areas , portable air purifiers can also be effective at controlling airborne particle concentrations .
Most quality portable air purifiers use HEPA filters , which capture 99.97 percent of particles .
These approaches are supported by empirical evidence .
In my team ’ s recent work , just submitted for peer review , we found that for measles , a disease dominated by airborne transmission , a significant risk reduction can be achieved by increasing ventilation rates and enhancing filtration levels .
( Measles comes with something that works even better that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this coronavirus — a vaccine . )
There is also ample evidence that viruses survive better at low humidity — precisely what happens during winter , or in the summer in air-conditioned spaces .
Some heating and ventilation systems are equipped to maintain humidity in the optimal range of 40 percent to 60 percent , but most are not .
In that case , portable humidifiers can increase humidity in rooms , particularly in a home .
Consider getting a humidifier and waiting 24 hours before opening delivered packages .
