Hundreds Of Animals Drop Dead In China After Being Poisoned By Virus Disinfectant What ’ s the point of saving millions of people from a virus that causes severe pneumonia just to poison them instead ?
That appears to be what the Chinese Communist Party is doing all across the country .
Over the last month , videos of people in full hazmat suits with giant tanks of chemicals strapped on their backs walking around public areas and spraying giant clouds of chemicals have become common .
What ’ s inside the tanks ?
Well , nobody ’ s really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yoon noted recently that everywhere she goes in Beijing , she smells bleach and disinfectant .
The only thing is , the virus has still managed to spread via many other methods ( including potentially through sewer systems , as researchers revealed on Saturday that they had isolated a strain of the virus from an infected patient ’ s urine ) .
And in the mean time , the government is exposing the public to massive quantities of potentially dangerous chemicals .
But that ’ s all besides the point , really : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ and protecting President Xi ’ s precious growth targets over the public wellfare ( it ’ s one reason why Dr. Li Wenliang has become a martyr in the struggle against the virus ) .
Whatever the impact on the human population , Chinese state media reported on Saturday that hundreds of animals have reportedly dropped dead all around China , and local party officials believe that chemicals sprayed to combat the virus are to blame .
Here ’ s more from the Daily Star : The Chinese press reports that Chongqing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rangers to monitor wildlife in the area , and have also enlisted a force of 200 “ full-time supervisors ” ( with so many out of work , we ’ re sure it wasn ’ t hard for the party to find qualified men and women with some free time on their hands , nevermind that millions are terrified of leaving their homes ) .
The reports come after reporters confirmed a shipment of 40 incinerators to Wuhan…while we wondered whether the crematoriums are running at full capacity , it ’ s also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neglected pets – could be incinerated .
One final irony : The dead animals will be buried where they were found – and then that area will also be disinfected .

Mike Bloomberg isn ’ t having the best February .
After taking a severe beating during last week ’ s Democratic debate which saw a sharp reversal to his approval ratings ( and boosted Bernie Sanders ’ ) , and a spate of vandals defacing his campaign offices which he blamed on Sandernistas , Bloomberg is now facing a Twitter bot scandal .
On Friday , the LA Times reported that Twitter began suspending 70 pro-Bloomberg accounts in a pattern that violates their rules against “ platform manipulation.
” Michael R. Bloomberg ’ s presidential campaign has been experimenting with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or at least the appearance of one .
But one of the strategies — deploying a large number of Twitter accounts to push out identical messages — has backfired .
On Friday , Twitter began suspending 70 accounts posting pro-Bloomberg content in a pattern that violates company rules .
“ We have taken enforcement action on a group of accounts for violating our rules against platform manipulation and spam , ” a Twitter spokesman said .
Some of the suspensions will be permanent , while in other cases account owners will have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accounts .
–LA Times Bloomberg has hired an army of hundreds of temporary internet shills to canvass the interwebs and promote the billionaire candidate over Facebook , Twitter , Instagram – and some say , 4chan .
These “ deputy field organizers ” are paid $ 2,500 per month according to the Times .
After being fed pro-Bloomberg messaging , organizers were spewing often identical text , images , links and hashtags using accounts created in the last two months .
After The Times inquired about this pattern , Twitter determined it ran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Spam Policy.
” Laid out in September 2019 in response to the activities of Russian-sponsored troll networks in the 2016 presidential election , the policy prohibits practices such as artificially boosting engagement on tweets and using deliberately misleading profile information .
By sponsoring hundreds of new accounts that post copy-pasted content , Twitter said the campaign violated its rules against “ creating multiple accounts to post duplicative content , ” “ posting identical or substantially similar Tweets or hashtags from multiple accounts you operate ” and “ coordinating with or compensating others to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even if the people involved use only one account.
” –LA Times In a statement , Bloomberg campaign spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said “ We ask that all of our deputy field organizers identify themselves as working on behalf of the Mike Bloomberg 2020 campaign on their social media accounts .
Through Outvote [ a voter-engagement app ] , content is shared by staffers and volunteers to their network of friends and family and was not intended to mislead anyone.
” Perhaps Bloomberg can explain this during his next debate drive-by .

Lays out scheme to use Sanders to get Hillary the nomination A former advisor to Bill and Hillary Clinton has warned that the Democrats will face the “ worst presidential defeat ” for decades if Bernie Sanders wins the nomination and goes to head to head with Donald Trump in the election .
Speaking on 970 AM New York City ’ s “ The Cats Roundtable ” , Clinton insider Dick Morris warned that Sanders “ will get massacred ” in 2020 by President Trump , and that it could pave the way for Hillary to enter the race at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be clear : Bernie will get massacred by Trump.
” Morris urged , adding “ We ’ re not just talking about a minor defeat here.
” “ We ’ re talking about they lose the House .
I think in the Senate , they could lose up to 60 seats .
They could have up to 60 seat Republican majority , supermajority.
” Morris further proclaimed .
“ I think that Bernie will get destroyed .
I think the worst presidential defeat since McGovern.
” he concluded .
During the interview , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take the Democratic nomination if there is a brokered convention .
“ I think that what is going to happen here is when they get into Super Tuesday next week , you ’ re going to see Sanders getting about 40 % of the vote.
” Morris said .
“ Then Bloomberg , who has no chance to win now – because he got clobbered in the debate and completely blew it – is staying in the race , is going to continue to spend money .
His goal now , I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the vote , so Bernie is under 50.
” the Clinton insider added .
“ They will go to the convention , the other candidates won ’ t get out .
Nobody will be nominated on the first ballot , and they will go to a second ballot… then I think Hillary could enter the race .
The superdelegates will all leave whoever they are for and vote for Hillary.
” the Clinton insider , said , laying out the scheme .
If Sanders does not win an “ outright majority , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hillary will be the nominee because she can win with the superdelegates and ultimately put together the majority.
” Morris , who has more recently turned to harshly criticising the Clintons , previously said that he would leave the United States if Hillary were elected president .

Tesla Gets Approval To Continue Cutting Down Thousands Of Trees To Build Its German Gigafactory Congratulations , Tesla !
You now have the approval of a German court to continue cutting down a massive local forest that has stood in Germany for hundreds of years !
Ah , yes , the sweet smell of saving the planet !
Tesla has reportedly “ overcome a legal roadblock ” in the building of its German Gigafactory , as a German court ruled on Thursday that Tesla can “ can resume cutting down trees at a forest site in the small town of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for a production facility , according to Bloomberg .
The court found that local authorities were not violating laws when they allowed work on the factory to start , throwing out a complaint that was filed by an environmental group days ago .
Recall , days ago , we noted that the same German court ruled that Elon Musk had to halt his plan to clear the forest in order to build Tesla ’ s German Gigafactory .
The court put the stay on Tesla while it considered the challenge from environmentalists , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an injunction against further construction after it overturned a lower court ’ s ruling against environmental group Gruene Liga Brandenburg , who was seeking to prevent Tesla from clearing the forest .
Tesla has already cleared about “ 150 soccer fields ” worth of forest and has been forced to relocate several species of animals , while also considering the breeding periods of local wildlife .
Recall it was about one month ago that we first reported Tesla was cutting down “ thousands of trees ” in order to make space to erect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tasked with clearing so much forest space to put up its factory that dozens of protesters recently organized a gathering known as a “ Forest Walk ” to protect against Tesla ’ s tree removal activities at the site , according to Teslarati .
The protesters were dressed in yellow vests , replicating the “ Yellow Vest Movement ” in France and are also concerned about what the deforestation may do to the drinking water in the area .

U.S. Futures Plunge ~2.4%, Extending Overnight Losses, Gold Soars, As Covid-19 Contagion Craters Complacency

The overnight bloodbath in U.S. futures picked up steam about 3AM Eastern Time , despite China ’ s A Share market ending the session down just 1.31 % and the SZSE Component finishing its session actually higher by 1.23 % .
And despite Trump touting an Indian trade deal and hilarious headlines that hit around 5AM EST that the U.S. “ doesn ’ t expect any Phase I trade deal impact from the virus ” , Dow futures fell more than 700 points and gold is now just about 10 % from its all time highs .
Of course , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probably just waking up , so we ’ ll reevaluate how things look heading closer into the cash open .
After a weekend in which attention is now firmly focused on the accelerating spread of the coronavirus outside of China ( whose epidemic numbers have become a bigger joke than the country ’ s GDP ) , with Italy now a supercluster of new cases that has sealed off Northern Italy and threatens to shut down Schengen… …traders are back to their desks and for once , it appears they are realizing that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way out of this particular pandemic mess .
US equity futures are accelerating their catch down to reality… Spot gold is up over 2 % , breaking $ 1680… WTI Crude is also plunging , back to a $ 51 handle… And after JPY ’ s recent collapse , Nikkei futures are down 500 points in early trading… And therefore , as always , The BoJ is out with its standard boiler-plate – we ’ ll puke more money and buy more of everything – plan… The Bank of Japan will be fully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the impact of the coronavirus on the world ’ s third-largest economy , its Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said .
Kuroda said there was no major change to the BOJ ’ s projection that Japan ’ s economy would keep recovering moderately thanks to an expected rebound in global growth around mid-year .
He also repeated the view that , while the central bank stands ready to ease monetary policy further “ without hesitation ” , it saw no immediate need to act .
But Kuroda said the BOJ would scrutinize developments on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Japan ’ s economy could be profound if the epidemic is prolonged and disrupts supply chains .
First of all , just how is printing money going to fix the virus ; and second , what is this “ moderate recovery ” he is talking about after the -1.6 % GDP print ?
!
Finally , we do note that Japan is closed for the Emperor ’ s Birthday celebration so markets are especially illiquid… and cash bond trading remains closed .
However , 10Y bond futures are surging , implying a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as we noted above , investors are starting to wake up to the fact that central bankers can ’ t print vaccines… and you can only swallow so many blue pills before the red one becomes too tempting .

prisonplanet--2020-02-24--11 Of The Most Outrageous Things Establishment Democrats Are Saying About Bernie Sanders

11 Of The Most Outrageous Things Establishment Democrats Are Saying About Bernie Sanders The Democratic establishment has officially shifted into panic mode .
In 2016 , they watched a bold political outsider shred a divided field of establishment Republican candidates on his way to winning the White House .
Now they have one and only one shot of denying Donald Trump a second term , and the same thing that happened to the Republicans in 2016 is now happening to them .
So far , Bernie Sanders is trouncing a divided field of establishment Democratic candidates , and that is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a number of reasons .
For one thing , most top establishment Democrats absolutely detest Sanders .
Secondly , most of them don ’ t believe that he has a prayer of actually beating Trump in November .
So they are desperate to find a way to deny Sanders the nomination , but with each Sanders victory that is going to become increasingly difficult to do .
At this point , an all-out civil war has just about erupted on the left .
Establishment Democrats are all in a tizzy about potentially nominating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course the truth is that America has been drifting toward socialism ever since FDR first entered the White House .
Yes , there have been a few times when we have attempted to change course ( the Reagan administration for example ) , but in general the federal government has just gotten bigger and bigger over the decades .
Today we have the biggest government in the entire history of the planet , and the Democrats are primarily to blame .
Ultimately , what this conflict is about is power .
Bernie Sanders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voters , but he isn ’ t supposed to actually win the nomination , and the Democratic establishment will pull out all the stops in order to keep that from happening .
All of a sudden , operatives on the left can ’ t stop talking about how the Russians want Bernie Sanders to win .
This is coming from the same people that spent years trying to find evidence that President Trump colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the 2016 election and that accused Tulsi Gabbard of being a “ Russian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quest for the Democratic nomination .
Are there people out there that actually believe this stuff ?
Apparently there must be , because establishment Democrats just keep going back to the same playbook over and over again .
In the weeks ahead , we should expect the attacks on Sanders to continue to escalate .
The following are 11 of the most outrageous things that establishment Democrats have said about Bernie Sanders so far , but this is probably just the beginning… # 1 Rahm Emanuel : “ Putin and Trump are picking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ The Russians don ’ t want me to be the nominee , ” Biden said on CBS News ’ “ Face the Nation , ” later adding , “ they like Bernie.
” # 3 James Carville : “ Right now , it ’ s about 1:15 Moscow time .
This thing is going very well for Vladimir Putin .
I promise you .
He ’ s probably staying up watching this right now .
How you doing , Vlad ?
” # 4 MSNBC ’ s Joy Reid regarding the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ Democrats need to sober up , and figure out what the hell they ’ re going to do about that.
” # 5 Democratic House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn : “ If you know how well we did the last time and look at the congressional districts , these are not liberal or progressive districts .
These are moderate and conservative districts that we did well in .
And in those districts it ’ s going to be tough to hold on to these jobs if you have to make the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” # 6 NPR ’ s Maria Hinojosa : “ As somebody who has been around for a while…I want receipts .
What has he done in all his time to actually deliver for Latino/a voters ?
” # 7 Pete Buttigieg : “ Before we rush to nominate Senator Sanders in our one shot to take on this president , let us take a sober look at what is at stake for our party , for our values and for those with the most to lose.
” # 8 Joe Lockhart : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to know what they stand for , and who — or what — they ’ re up against .
At this stage in the game for Bloomberg , that enemy is not Trump .
It ’ s Sen. Bernie Sanders and the election calendar.
” # 9 James Carville : “ If you ’ re voting for him because you think he ’ ll win the election , because he ’ ll galvanize heretofore sleepy parts of an electorate , then politically , you ’ re a fool.
” # 10 Hillary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nobody wants to work with him , he got nothing done , ” Clinton said of Sanders in a documentary about the campaign , released this year .
“ He was a career politician .
It ’ s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.
” # 11 MSNBC ’ s Chris Matthews : No pundit on the left has been more critical of Sanders than MSNBC ’ s Chris Matthews .
In the aftermath of the vote in Nevada , Matthews actually compared the Sanders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ France in 1940″… Needless to say , that comment sparked a tremendous backlash .
In addition , Matthews suggested that the Democrats might be better off waiting four years and then putting in “ a Democrat that they like ” … Matthews must not understand that the only reason he has a job is because the radical left has embraced MSNBC over the years .
Now Matthews and the other commentators on MSNBC are greatly alienating their core viewers , and that could potentially be absolutely disastrous for the network .
But Matthews @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Earlier this month , he explained why he detests socialists so much… This is coming from the same guy who was so giddy about the candidacy of Barack Obama in 2008 .
In any event , I think that President Trump did a great job of summarizing the current state of the race for the Democratic nomination when he tweeted the following… None of the establishment candidates currently in the race has a prayer of winning enough delegates to secure the nomination before the convention .
So at this point the Democratic establishment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prevent Sanders from becoming the nominee .
Firstly , they can encourage everyone to stay in the race and try to divide the delegates enough ways so that Sanders can not clinch the nomination prior to the convention .
Then once the convention rolls around , they could try to put forward a “ compromise candidate ” as an alternative to Sanders .
Secondly , they could try to convince the one person that could actually beat Sanders during this process to enter the race .
But Michelle Obama has said over and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ run for president .
Unfortunately for the Democrats , she is probably the only one that could pull off such a miracle at this point .
Assuming that Michelle Obama is out of the picture , the Democratic establishment ’ s only hope of stopping Sanders is probably at the convention .
Usually the conventions are rather sleepy affairs , but this year might be an exception .
So you might want to stock up on popcorn , because a contested Democratic convention would be very strange , but it would also likely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ posted : Monday , February 24 , 2020 at 6:24 am


prisonplanet--2020-02-24--This Coronavirus Outbreak Just Took Some Bizarre New Turns

This Coronavirus Outbreak Just Took Some Bizarre New Turns Many were hoping that this coronavirus outbreak would begin to subside , but instead we witnessed an explosion of newly confirmed cases over the weekend .
In fact , the number of confirmed cases outside of China has doubled over the past five days .
If that number continues to double very rapidly , authorities will be talking about a full-blown “ global pandemic ” in no time .
When I watched a victim suddenly collapse and start to twitch on a subway in Hong Kong , I thought about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if that happened in New York .
When I saw a video of Chinese authorities using butterfly nets to capture sick people , it made me wonder what U.S. authorities might do to round up those that are ill .
The level of fear that a full-blown pandemic would cause would transform our society overnight .
Even now , Chinese restaurants in Canada are completely empty due to concerns about catching this virus .
But once this virus is being spread in virtually every city in North America , many of us won @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all , and that would bring economic activity to a complete and utter standstill .
For a while , it seemed like this outbreak was almost entirely a Chinese problem , and most Americans were not too alarmed about it .
But over the weekend the rapid spread of the virus in South Korea , Italy and Iran spooked financial markets and mainstream news outlets in the U.S. started publishing stories about this outbreak with very alarming headlines .
And those alarming headlines are justified , because experts are telling us that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a horrifying global pandemic… Once this virus starts to spread in a community , the number of cases can explode within hours .
For example , the number of confirmed cases in South Korea went from 30 to 602 in just 96 hours… And as I write this article , the number of confirmed cases in South Korea has now shot up to 763 .
By the time you read this article , it will probably be even higher .
In Italy , the number of confirmed cases went from 3 to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of days… Alarmingly , Italian officials can ’ t even figure out how the virus got to Italy in the first place , and then have now placed “ almost a dozen towns ” under quarantine… This morning I went to take a look at the Serie A results from over the weekend , and I was particularly interested in seeing how Atalanta had done after their stirring Champions League victory last week .
Unfortunately , their game was among three matches that were called off due to the virus… This is basically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States .
It is something that simply does not happen under normal circumstances .
But these are not normal times .
There has also been an eruption of cases in Iran , and five of their confirmed cases have already died… So now we can ’ t just try to isolate ourselves from China and assume that everything is going to be okay .
This virus has already spread all over the world , and that means that it could come into the United States from almost any direction .
Of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this outbreak .
According to Epoch Times reporter Jennifer Zeng , there are tens of thousands of people in the hospitals in Wuhan , and crematoriums continue to burn bodies 24 hours a day… Here in the United States , we only have 35 confirmed cases so far , and many have been wondering why that number has stayed so low .
Well , perhaps it is because the CDC has only tested 414 people so far… As I discussed the other day , there are thousands upon thousands of people currently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States .
Why have the vast majority of them not been tested ?
And it looks like the quarantine period being used in the U.S. and in much of the rest of the world may be way too short .
In fact , Chinese officials are telling us that one Chinese man “ took 27 days to show coronavirus symptoms ” … So we may be releasing countless numbers of potentially sick people back into the general population way too early .
This is a nightmare that is getting worse with each passing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a true global pandemic the impact on the global economy is going to be off the charts .
We can get an idea of where things could be heading by taking a look at what is already happening inside China .
Small businesses all over the nation are rapidly running out of cash , and in just a matter of weeks virtually all of them will be out of cash .
The following comes from Zero Hedge… Now try to imagine what that might look like on a global scale .
We have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the post-World War II era , and there is still so much about this virus that is not known .
Personally , I am still hoping that this outbreak will start to fizzle out once warmer weather arrives .
But so far nothing seems to be able to slow this virus down , and it appears that a “ tipping point ” has now arrived .

Trump ‘ Furious ’ At Rogue Bureaucrats Who Let Coronavirus Patients Fly Home Without Telling Him President Trump was reportedly livid after 14 Diamond Princess passengers infected with coronavirus were flown back to the United States without notifying him and against his wishes , according to the Washington Post .

That decision was overruled without Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump learned of the decision after the fact and was reportedly angry that he wasn ’ t consulted first – as the decision “ could damage his administration ’ s handling of the response , ” according to the report .

” “ It ’ s important to remember this was an emerging and unusual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of Consular Affairs , Ian Brownlee .
“ We had 328 people on buses , a plan to execute and we received lab results on people who were otherwise asymptomatic , un-ill people on a bus on the way to the airport , ” he added .

Eleven of the evacuated Diamond Princess passengers deemed ‘ high risk ’ have been confirmed to have coronavirus .

prisonplanet--2020-02-24--Chinese Scientists Find Coronavirus Did Not Originate In Wuhan Seafood Market

Chinese Scientists Find Coronavirus Did Not Originate In Wuhan Seafood Market Now that the coronavirus pandemic has started to spread across the globe at an alarming speed and is accelerating every day , with infected clusters emerging in South Korea , Japan , Italy and Iran… … and with more people dying from covid-19 outside of China , questions are again swirling what the real source of the pandemic was , and this time – with countless lives at stake – China will no longer be able to give a vague , undefined response like “ oh , someone ate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Wuhan “ , especially if Beijing has decided that it will soon need a scapegoat to distract the increasingly furious population from its own disastrous handling of , and ongoing lies about , the viral pandemic .
In that vein , we found it fascinating that none other than China ’ s nationalist propaganda mouthpiece , the Global Times , published a report overnight which dramatically changes the narrative , namely that a “ New Chinese study indicates novel coronavirus did not originate in Huanan seafood market.
” According to the brand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Feb 21 , the novel coronavirus may have begun human-to-human transmission in late November from a place other than the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan .
Of course , we already knew that , but what is critical is that until now , Beijing was adamant in sticking to the official narrative that it was the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan where the disease emerged , despite not providing any information on what animal was the vector , or who was patient zero .
However , now that this narrative has been officially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the communist party , it is safe to say that the theory of the Huanan food market being the source of the pandemic , is officially dead .
The study published on ChinaXiv , a Chinese open repository for scientific researchers , reveals the new coronavirus was introduced to the seafood market from another location , and then spread rapidly from market to market .
The findings were the result of analyses of genome-wide data , sources of infection and the route of spread of 93 samples of the novel coronavirus collected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The study believes that patient zero – who has not yet been identified , and whose identity holds the key to unraveling the mystery of the coronavirus source – transmitted the virus to workers or sellers at the Huanan seafood market .
The crowded market facilitated the further transmission of the virus to buyers , which caused a wider spread in early December 2019 .
According to the researchers , the new coronavirus experienced two sudden population expansions , including one on January 6 , 2020 , which was related to the Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ An earlier expansion occurred on December 8 , implying human-to-human transmission may have started in early December or late November , and then accelerated when it reached the Huanan seafood market .
Patients from Australia , France , Japan and the US – countries with wider samples – have had at least two sources of infection , and the US in particular has reported five sources , the study said .
However , based upon limited samples in other countries , the source of most infections is deemed to be the same .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan , some may have been infected in South China ’ s Guangdong Province and Singapore , according to the report .
On January 6 , the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) issued a second-level emergency response , which the researchers said served as a warning against mass public activity and travel .
And in a surprising rebuke of Beijing ’ s handling of the epidemic , one which was implicitly endorsed by the Global Times , the researchers writes that if the warnings had received wider public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nationally and globally in mid-to-late January would have been lower .
While the Chinese report did not go so far as to offer alternative theories where the virus may have originated , we find it amusing that the very first comment to the Global Times article is rather tongue-in-cheek suggestion of what the real answer may be .
It is also worth noting that at the same time that even China was questioning the official narrative , the NY Post published an article which sound vaguely familiar : “ Don ’ t buy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may have leaked from a lab ” in which the author writes “ the evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 research being carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
The virus may have been carried out of the lab by an infected worker or crossed over into humans when they unknowingly dined on a lab animal .
Whatever the vector , Beijing authorities are now clearly scrambling to correct the serious problems with the way their labs handle deadly pathogens.
” The conclusion : “ China has unleashed a plague on its own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say how many in China and other countries will ultimately die for the failures of their country ’ s state-run microbiology labs , but the human cost will be high.
” While that conclusion is most likely accurate , the question now is who gets the blame , and why the sudden change in the official Chinese narrative .
If , indeed , it is now Xi Jinping ’ s intention to shift attention away from Beijing ’ s disastrous handling of the pandemic and pin the blame on someone else , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can choose : the Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses , called the National Biosafety Laboratory , which – as we first pointed out several weeks ago – is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
And speaking of genetically engineered viruses , it is worth reminding that none other than Nature in 2015 described an “ experiment that created a hybrid version of a bat coronavirus ” which has “ triggered renewed debate over whether engineering lab variants of viruses with possible pandemic potential is worth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Nature Medicine on 9 November 2015 , titled “ A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence ” and one of whose authors was Shi Zhengli , the top researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology , we read how researchers created a chimaeric virus , made up of a surface protein of SHC014 and the backbone of a SARS virus that had been adapted to grow in mice and to mimic human disease .
The chimaera infected human airway cells — proving that the surface protein of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a key receptor on the cells and to infect them .
Although almost all coronaviruses isolated from bats have not been able to bind to the key human receptor , SHC014 is not the first that can do so .
In 2013 , researchers reported this ability for the first time in a different coronavirus isolated from the same bat population2 .
A little over 4 years later , we now know exactly what the trajectory is , if indeed the coronavirus is the outcome of the same experiments Nature described back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we wonder if once Beijing does flip and points the finger to the Wuhan Institute Of Virology , especially now that the CDC is on the ground and doing its own analysis where the virus originated as per White House guidance , whether Twitter , which has decided to emerge as the arbiter of absolute truths related to the coronavirus epidemic , will also be forced to revise its own history of banning those who dared to speak up and predict the shape of the narrative ahead of time ?

Authorities recorded an additional death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and another 123 confirmed cases , bringing the total to 556 .
Weekend futures took a dive on the news , dropping 40 points .

Perhaps officials figured they could only fudge the number of new cases by so much since the WHO team was in Wuhan on Saturday .
Who knows .
But it ’ s notable that cases doubled , the latest sign that China ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t seem to be working .
At this point , whatever the numbers coming out of China , they almost are no longer relevant , since nobody believes them anyway .
CHINA ’ S HUBEI PROVINCE , EPICENTRE OF CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK , REPORTS 630 NEW CASES ON FEB 22 VS 366 ON FEB 21 CHINA ’ S HUBEI PROVINCE , EPICENTRE OF CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK , REPORTS 96 NEW DEATHS ON FEB 22 VS 106 ON FEB 21 DEATH TOLL FROM CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK IN CHINA ’ S HUBEI AT 2,346 AS OF END-FEB @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more reason why : In a video recently posted to twitter , a doctor from a hospital in Hunan confirms that he counted 50 new patients the other day and submitted those numbers to health officials .
In turn , they included only 1 case in the official count .
Mainstream American news organizations including the Washington Post are now questioning China ’ s numbers , as we noted earlier .
Meanwhile , it looks like Italian health officials have confirmed 3 new cases , bringing the total to 79 .
Update ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cluster was the Diamond Offshore cruise ship , where it now appears hundreds of infected passengers mingled with healthy tourists ( and it now appears that Japan lied that it had tested passengers ) with many returning to their country of origin now that the quarantine has been broken ; the second cluster and third clusters are South Korea and Japan ; the former has seen cases doubling every day for the past four , hitting 433 on Saturday in an exponential increase in new cases ( see chart below ) , while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases as well .
And while the recent surge in Iranian cases has put much of the middle east on notice over the possibility that the embargo-crippled nation may have emerged as a middle eastern hub of Coronavirus cases , the latest confirmed offshore cluster to emerge IS Italy , where late on Saturday prime minister Conte announced that a total of 76 cases have been confirmed in 5 regions , declaring the Coronavirus situation a “ National Emergency.
” The Prime Minister also said that Italy has implemented a law decree to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to limiting the spread of the Coronavirus .
And while Conte said that Italy won ’ t ask for a suspension of the Shengen pact ( yet ) which allows customs-free travel across Europe , but will adopt a decree to support the economy in certain areas , Italy ’ s Ansa reported that virtually all of Northern Italy is being put on lockdown and that all schools and universities in the affected areas to be closed until the end of the month .
NORTHERN ITALY WHERE CORONAVIRUS CASES REPORTED ON LOCKDOWN – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CERTAIN VIRUS AFFECTED AREAS : CONTE ALL SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES IN AFFECTED AREAS TO BE CLOSED UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH , SCHOOL TRIPS ABROAD ALSO CANCELLED – ANSA NEWS Elsewhere , as the global pandemic spreads , Israel ’ s Ministry of Health said that it expected soon to close borders for non-residents .
Meanwhile , on Saturday afternoon , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised its alert level for travel in Japan to Level 2 .
That level warns of “ sustained community transmission ” and calls for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such as those with chronic medical conditions .
Though Japan has reported only one death – amid nearly 80,000 cases and almost 2,400 deaths worldwide – it has a relatively large number of cases , 121 , largely due to the spread of the virus on the Diamond Princess cruise ship which it facilitated .
To summarize , Iran , Italy and South Korea reported new deaths Saturday .
In total , there are some 77,000 cases worldwide , with over 2,300 deaths , almost all in China , but that imbalance is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days .
Update ( 1330ET ) : News reports claim that roughly half of the latest batch of confirmed cases in South Korea which doubled the country ’ s total confirmed came from a hospital near Daegu in Cheongdo County , where 11 cases were confirmed .
109 of those infected found to be in the psychiatric ward , either as patients or staff , according to the director of the South Korean CDCP .
Nine of them were doctors .
The Blue House has asked South Korean citizens to avoid group activities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be replaced with online gatherings .
If its guidelines aren ’ t followed voluntarily , the government warned that it would resort to “ strict measures ” to contain the outbreak if its guidelines aren ’ t followed by the public .
In yet another sign of Japan ’ s shortcomings when attempting to contain the virus , an officer who worked at an airport quarantine in northern Japan has reportedly tested positive for the virus .
Britain ’ s Foreign Officer confirmed Saturday that 32 British and European citizens had landed back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be quarantined .
In Italy , the government has confirmed the first case in Milan , a city of 1.8 million that ’ s a center of Italian industry and fashion .
Iran has reported another death , bringing its total to 6 .
The latest total for Japan puts cases at 738 , including some passengers and crew from the “ Diamond Princess ” as the number of confirmed cases ex-China continues to climb .
Just looking at new cases from the top 7 infected countries is alarming : Update ( 1100ET @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nearly two dozen more cases across Lombardy and Veneto , according to Bloomberg .
When WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros was asked on Thursday whether the COVID-19 virus was at a tipping point , he replied that the window to stop the outbreak from growing exponentially worse was rapidly closing .
Though by Friday night , it certainly seemed like that window had slammed shut .
In South Korea , cases went exponential , soaring by 70 % in one day .
Overnight , the country reported another rash of confirmed cases , bringing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Daegu , presumably members of the cult-like church where a ‘ super-spreader ’ worshipped .
That marks an eight-fold increase in cases in just four days for South Korea , as the AP reported .
SK also reported its third death , a man in his 40s who was found dead in his apartment and posthumously tested .
South Korean health officials warned they could soon see a rash of deaths as several patients are in serious condition .
Virus patients with signs of pneumonia or other serious conditions at the Cheongdo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them are in critical condition , according to SK Vice Health Minister Kim Gang-lip told reporters .
The country has followed China in imposing quarantines ( everyone is too terrified to go outside anyway ) and they ’ re hoping to prevent a national outbreak , despite a few cases in Seoul that weren ’ t immediately traceable to an obvious source , which is sort of discouraging .
In Italy , a seemingly minor outbreak went exponential .
By day ’ s end , Italian health authorities had confirmed their first virus-related @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were under strict quarantine orders with residents huddling terrified inside their homes , a tableau that has become all too familiar by now .
Another fatality followed overnight , as a couple more towns joined in the lockdown .
This marked Italy as the first European country to see its own nationals succumb to the virus , according to Euronews .
Across Italy , there are 32 cases in Codogno , Lombardy , and seven in Veneto , according to the AFP and Sky Italia television .
Many of the new cases represented @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secondary contagion .
In Iran , 10 more cases , and one more death , were recorded overnight .
That brings the total number of confirmed cases to 28 , including cases in Qom and Tehran .
So far , five Iranians have died .
As we await more information out of China , CNBC ’ s Eunice Yoon reports that the team would hold a press briefing on Monday at 6 am ET .
Meanwhile , as we noted yesterday , the team has arrived in Wuhan , where it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ground .
The team has already been to three Chinese provinces , Beijing , Sichuan and Guangdong , but are only now just visiting the city at the heart of the outbreak .
Dr. Tedros confirmed the trip during public comments on Saturday , where he once again shared some familiar words .
President Xi said Saturday that the situation in Wuhan remains ‘ grim and complex ’ – which means the WHO team should be in for an eye-opening experience .
As of Saturday morning in the US , 1,200 cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
More than 200 cases have been confirmed in South Korea , more than 30 in Italy , roughly a dozen in Iran , and one in Egypt , the first to be confirmed in Africa .
China has reported over 76,000 cases , including over 2,300 deaths .
Confirmed cases in Japan rose to 121 on Saturday , having more than tripled in a week .
Meanwhile , the Washington Post reports that health officials and the cruise line are continuing to test crew members aboard the Diamond Princess .
So far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have the virus , but they have been included in the toll already .
So far , China has reported only 397 new cases Saturday , as the rate of increase continued to decline , but another 109 have died .
And even the Washington Post acknowledges that there is a “ great deal of skepticism ” about China ’ s numbers , according to a new case study seen by Reuters .
Cases where patients didn ’ t show signs of infection for longer than two weeks have prompted some epidemiologists to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of just a 14 day .
Also on Saturday scientists in China revealed that they had discovered a strain of the virus in a patient ’ s urine , raising new and uncomfortable questions about the virus ’ s ability to spread through sewer systems .
There have also been several new indications that the virus ’ s incubation period might be longer than the 14 days currently believed .
A woman in Wuhan with no symptoms infected five relatives without every showing signs of infection .
In the US , health officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the evacuation of 300 Americans from the ‘ Diamond Princess ’ .
It appears that the decision to transport 14 infected passengers along with the rest of the group was a disaster .
Dozens of others appear to have been infected either during the trip , or shortly before .
But in San Diego , officials announced that they ’ re monitoring some 200 cases , none of which had anything to do with the ship .
After confirmed US cases more than doubled to 34 on Friday , officials in San Diego @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people are currently being monitored over virus concerns , according to ABC News 10 .
Officials said everyone being monitored had either come in contact with one of the three confirmed cases , or others under suspicion .
Health officials didn ’ t exactly offer specific details .
They ’ re among more than 300 people who have been , or are being , ‘ monitored ’ by the county .
Keep in mind : These individuals aren ’ t being held in isolation or a mandatory quarantine .
Instead , they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immediately report any suspicious symptoms .
San Diego has had two confirmed cases of coronavirus , or COVID-19 , among the evacuees who were flown out of Wuhan a few weeks ago .
One patient has since recovered from the virus and has been released .
The second patient is still receiving care .
A third patient , reportedly a child , is still awaiting test results , but has been said to be showing symptoms .
When they extended a coronavirus-related emergency declaration for another 30 days , officials said there were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ San Diego .
But it never hurts to be cautious .

A transgender inmate who was transferred from a male prison to a female prison facility is alleged to have raped fellow inmates .
The biological male was blocked from being transferred back to a male prison , following the incident , as the decision was reportedly overruled by the governor ’ s office , according to Illinois Times .
Andre Patterson–as he is known to Illinois Department of Corrections–now goes by the name Janiah Monroe .
Monroe was reportedly not welcomed by female inmates when she was transferred to the Logan women ’ s prison in Lincoln .
Monroe , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as “ turbulent , ” reportedly attempted suicide with a razor , requiring outside medical help , before being segregated .
On Feb 10 an anonymous inmate filed a Jane Doe lawsuit after several Logan prison employees allegedly punished her for trying to report sexual assault accusations .
After the initial assault , the warden testified that Monroe had no sexual interest in women .
The transgender inmate has had sexual assault accusations filed against her , some of which have been deemed false .
One sexual assault accusation which was upheld was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s attorney , Alan Mills .
Mills said : “ All I can tell you is none ( of the accusations ) have been found to be founded and all have been denied by her.
” Monroe has a history of attempting to self-castrate and genital mutilation , wishing for gender reassignment surgery .
While being imprisoned at a male facility , Monroe suffered extensive abuse at the hands of her former inmates .
According to the Illinois Times : Monroe , 30 , has been locked up since 2005 , when she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a barbershop .
After being transferred from a juvenile facility in 2006 , she strangled her cellmate in the Cook County jail .
Department of Corrections records show she ’ s serving time for 11 felonies , including second degree murder , attempted murder , aggravated battery , aggravated battery involving a government employee , three counts of aggravated battery involving a peace officer , two counts of aggravated attempted arson , damage to government property and bringing contraband into a penal institution .
She is due for parole in 2051 .
Monroe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been transferred to Logan from a male facility .
Transgenderism in prisons is becoming a growing theme .
Taxpayers , in some states , foot the bill for inmates ’ hormone therapy and reassignment surgery , causing ample controversy .
In Iowa , a child sex offender , who transitioned behind bars , is set to be released after his testosterone levels dropped so much following a gender transition that his likelihood to reoffend was significantly reduced .

Poster says “ It ’ s okay to hate white people.
” Racist signs that say “ white lives don ’ t matter ” and other racial slurs were posted in the Canadian city of Kitchener but received no media coverage whatsoever .
One of the posters features an image of Jesus Christ being crucified along with the words ‘ WHITE LIVES DON ’ T MATTER ’ in capital letters .

A Scottish MP invited a drag queen called ‘ Flowjob ’ who had previously uploaded sexually explicit content to Twitter to a primary school and then called parents who complained “ homophobic.
” MP Mhairi Black invited ‘ Flowjob ’ to Glencoates Primary School , Paisley where the drag queen read a story to kids as young as four .
The Sun reports , “ The drag queen has regularly uploaded graphic pictures to Twitter , including of simulating a sex act with a dildo and simulating oral sex.
” Parents subsequently complained that they were not informed of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the visit was “ outrageous ” and “ disgusting.
” “ While I don ’ t agree with the abuse being given , my kids go to this school , there was no information fed to parents about this happening .

“ Questions about this are legitimate , ” the group said in a statement .

‘Chaotic Demoralized Union’: Merkel’s CDU laments ‘bitter day’ after losing big in Hamburg state election

Leadership chaos and the recent scandal in Thuringia – where the CDU sided with the tabooed AfD – led voters to punish the chancellor ’ s party in Germany ’ s second-largest city , its top-tier members and opponents believe .
The Christian Democratic Union ( CDU ) achieved its worst ever result in the city state of Hamburg on Sunday , scoring only 11.2 percent of the vote and trailing far behind its center-left rivals , the Social Democrats and Greens , who won the support of 39 and 24.2 percent of residents respectively .
This is one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the CDU ’ s history , according to Der Spiegel , second only to the 1951 vote in Bremen , where it garnered just nine percent .
Unsurprisingly , morale among the Christian Democrats – already dubbed the ‘ Chaotic Demoralized Union ’ in the media – was as low as their election result .
“ It is a bitter day for the CDU in Germany and a historically bad result in Hamburg , ” lamented the party ’ s secretary general Paul Ziemiak .
“ For us as a union there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Daniel Gunther , prime minister of northern state Schleswig-Holstein .
The bitter defeat didn ’ t come out of the blue ; the Christian Democrats have suffered from the leadership crisis which broke out after party leader and designated Merkel successor Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer – or AKK as she came to be known in German media – suddenly stepped aside , sending the party into a tailspin and blowing open the race for the chancellorship .
With AKK no longer at the helm – although she technically leads the CDU – the party lacked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The defeat in Hamburg was about “ leaderlessness , ” as Saarland Prime Minister Tobias Hans put it on ARD .
Referring to the selection of a new leader , he said it was important that AKK “ has the right to act in order to organize the whole thing , ” but failed to mention that Kramp-Karrenbauer ’ s abdication was due to organization and management skills she couldn ’ t show .
Earlier this month , a CDU branch in the eastern state of Thuringia defied AKK ’ s instructions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Germany ( AfD ) party to unseat the Left Party ’ s State Premier Bodo Ramelow and install the little-known Thomas Kemmerich , from the liberal Free Democratic Party ( FDP ) .
The move , which Merkel called “ unforgivable , ” broke with a consensus among mainstream parties of not cooperating with the right-wing group , and “ noticeably overshadowed the Hamburg election campaign , ” according to CDU ’ s major candidate Marcus Weinberg .
“ These developments have made us famous and ultimately cost a lot of votes , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handed the Christian Democrats their worst result .
“ Despite a creative and committed election campaign , our own election goals were clearly missed , ” Weinberg said .
Meanwhile , Susanne Hennig-Wellsow , head of the Left Party in Thuringia , agreed with the judgement , saying “ the taboo breach has hit [ CDU ] all the way to Hamburg.
” Some say , however , that the “ leaderlessness ” and the Thuringia scandal aren ’ t the biggest problems in the party .
“ The problems are homemade , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be named told Die Welt newspaper .
He said the mood within the party was poisoned by envy and resentment instead of mutual support .
“ Internally , we tend to be malicious when one of us fails – and we don ’ t realize that it all falls back on all of us , ” he revealed .
Later in the year , the chancellor ’ s center-right party faces a string of local elections in Bavaria , North Rhine-Westphalia and the city of Leipzig in the east , the results @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vote in 2021 .
According to recent polls by ARD and Bild , CDU – and its Bavarian allies – still holds the ground with between 26 and 27 percent of voter support , but as the Hamburg vote has shown , predictability is no longer a feature of German politics .

prisonplanet--2020-02-24--Virginia Dems Vote to End Mandatory Reporting at Schools for Sexual Battery, Marijuana and More

Virginia Dems Vote to End Mandatory Reporting at Schools for Sexual Battery , Marijuana and More The Democrat majority in Virginia ’ s House of Delegates has voted to end mandatory reporting of crimes as serious as sexual battery , stalking , and threats by students against school teachers and staff as part of the “ restorative justice ” initiatives the party has pushed nationwide .
HB 257 , introduced by Delegate Mike Mullin ( D-93 ) , “ eliminates the requirement that school principals report certain enumerated acts that may constitute a misdemeanor offense to law enforcement , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must be reported to police to mainly felony-level offenses .
As a result of the incorporation of another bill – HB 695 – into Mullin ’ s , HB 257 will remove the requirement that school officials report the possession of less than one-quarter ounce of marijuana found on a student ’ s person or possessions “ on a school bus , on school property , or at a school-sponsored activity.
” In other words , Virginia Democrats have quasi decriminalized the possession of marijuana and amongst children so long as they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re at school .
“ Democrats in Richmond took school safety in a dramatically different and potentially dangerous direction this week , ” Virginia ’ s House Minority Leader Todd Gilbert ( R-15 ) told constituents in a Friday afternoon Facebook post .
House Democrats “ adopted a policy that will make our students , teachers , and school personnel significantly less safe.
” “ Instances of sexual battery , stalking , and threats against teachers and staff are not ‘ discipline problems.
’ They are serious crimes with real victims that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” said Gilbert .
Gilbert also drew attention to the very real threat of crimes committed by troubled students increasing in severity as disciplinary actions are shoved aside in favor of restorative justice-style methods .
“ Failing to report serious crimes in hopes of keeping students out of the ‘ school to prison pipeline ’ is the same type of policy that allowed the Parkland shooting to take place , ” said Gilbert .
“ The Parkland Commission found a strong connection between failure to report incidents and the loss of life.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ debated on the House floor , Gilbert attempted to bring some of the concerns expressed in his statement to Delegate Mullin .
In response , Mullin stated that Gilbert is not “ hard of hearing and that he is asking me to repeat this over again even though he heard it the first time.

prisonplanet--2020-02-28--Israeli Scientists Say They Will Have Coronavirus Vaccine “In A Few Weeks”

Israeli Scientists Say They Will Have Coronavirus Vaccine “ In A Few Weeks ” Yesterday , Dr. Anthony Fauci , the head of the CDC ’ s infectious disease unit , affirmed that even though Gilead and Moderna might be ready , or almost ready , for Phase 1 trials , the US likely won ’ t have a workable vaccine for another year to 18 months .
And on Thursday , a team of Israeli scientists one-upped the US , boasting that they could have a vaccine ready “ in a few weeks.
” According to a statement cited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Israeli scientists are on the cusp of developing the first vaccine against the novel coronavirus , according to Israel ’ s Science and Technology Minister , Ofir Akunis .
If all goes as planned , the vaccine could be ready within a few weeks and available for human use in 90 days .
For four years , a team of scientists at MIGAL has been developing a vaccine to combat infectious bronchitis virus ( IBV ) , which causes a bronchial disease affecting poultry .
The effectiveness of the vaccine has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Veterinary Institute .
During the process , they discovered a process for developing new vaccines that they expect will help facilitate a novel coronavirus vaccine in world-beating time .
Here ’ s how the team discovered their project would be useful for the coronavirus vaccine .
In preclinical trials , the team demonstrated that the oral vaccination induces high levels of specific anti-IBV antibodies , Katz said .
“ Let ’ s call it pure luck , ” he said .
“ We decided to choose coronavirus as a model for our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for our technology.
” But after scientists sequenced the DNA of the novel coronavirus causing the current worldwide outbreak , the MIGAL researchers examined it and found that the poultry coronavirus has high genetic similarity to the human one , and that it uses the same infection mechanism , which increases the likelihood of achieving an effective human vaccine in a very short period of time , Katz said .
“ All we need to do is adjust the system to the new sequence , ” he said .
“ We are in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hopefully in a few weeks we will have the vaccine in our hands .
Yes , in a few weeks , if it all works , we would have a vaccine to prevent coronavirus.
” Akunis said his government has ‘ fast-tracked ’ all the approval processes for the vaccine to get it out as soon as possible .
MIGAL would be responsible for developing the new vaccine , but it would then have to go through a regulatory process , including clinical trials and large-scale production , Katz said .
Akunis said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ director-general to fast-track all approval processes with the goal of bringing the human vaccine to market as quickly as possible .
“ Given the urgent global need for a human coronavirus vaccine , we are doing everything we can to accelerate development , ” MIGAL CEO David Zigdon said .
The vaccine could “ achieve safety approval in 90 days , ” he said .
It will be an oral vaccine , making it particularly accessible to the general public , Zigdon said .
“ We are currently in intensive discussions with potential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trials phase and expedite completion of final-product development and regulatory activities , ” he said .
Israel has only confirmed a handful of cases among travelers who visited South Korea and Italy ( one case they confirmed on Thursday ) .
We wonder : If Iran does roll out a vaccine , will it share it with Iran ?
