Italy’s Salvini Calls For Short Selling Ban, Citing “Soros Who Built His Fortune Betting Against Italy”

Italy ’ s Salvini Calls For Short Selling Ban , Citing “ Soros Who Built His Fortune Betting Against Italy ” It was just a matter of time before the ongoing financial and economic crisis spawned by the coronavirus pandemic morphed into a political intervention to save capital markets from evil short sellers .
Sure enough , one day after Italy botched a quarantine of over 15 million people , effectively locking out all of Northern Italy while threatening any quarantine violators with up to 3 months in prison , moments ago Italy ’ s former co-Prime Minister and current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a short selling ban .
In view of the reopening of the financial markets tomorrow , I ask that the “ short ” sale of transactions be prohibited even with the use of derivatives .
In situations such as these sometimes very few earn huge sums to the detriment of everyone , we remember for example the case of Soros in 1992 who built his fortune with downward speculation against Italy .
It is not tolerable for someone to take advantage of a national emergency by speculating to the detriment of the savings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Consob will pursue all abuses with the utmost severity .

prisonplanet--2020-03-09--Iranian Regime Blames Coronavirus On Antisemetic “Zionist Conspiracy”

As the Iranian regime struggles to maintain its legitimacy following one of the most challenging quarters in its 40-year history , it has added another longstanding enemy of the Iranian people to its list of parties responsible for the coronavirus outbreak that has killed thousands ( officially 233 ) in the country .
That enemy ?
Israel and the Jews .
According to the Jerusalem Post , Iran ’ s Press TV , the regime ’ s English-language propaganda network , has been pushing antisemitic conspiracies about the coronavirus in order to distract from Tehran ’ s abject mishandling of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least two lawmakers and several senior government officials .
Somehow , by sheer luck , perhaps , President Rouhani and the Ayatollah have avoided infection despite reports about contacts with sick officials in their government .
Given that these failings are coming just weeks after the regime embarrassed itself in front of the world by shooting down a passenger plane packed with students , it ’ s perhaps unsurprising that in their desperation , the regime is appealing to the people ’ s most base impulses .
Over the last several days , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Zionists ” created the coronavirus .
As evidence , Press TV cited an article from the same anti-semitic website that once published an article – widely distributed in Iran – about how America ’ s Jewish population is responsible for the country ’ s wars in the Middle East .
On March 5 , Press TV claimed that “ Zionist elements developed deadlier strain of coronavirus against Iran.
” Although the report claimed to reference a foreign “ academic , ” it fits the pattern of Iran using foreign experts to give the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of authority .
The agenda of Tehran has been three-fold since the coronavirus outbreak began to affect Iran in mid-February .
Iran initially denied that there was a virus outbreak in February so that it could increase voter turnout on February 21 .
A few weeks back , after several government officials were infected , the Iranian regime latched on to Chinese propaganda ‘ conspiracies ’ claiming the US invented the virus and unleashed it as a ‘ bioweapon ’ against its adversaries .
However the IRGC had other ideas .
Its leader @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus was “ biological warfare ” derived from the US .
“ We are now dealing with a biological war , ” he said on March 5 .
He argued it “ may be the product of American biological warfare.
” The IRGC ’ s narrative qquickly became Press TV ’ s talking point .
An article on the homepage on March 8 links to the claim that not only is the US waging “ biological warfare ” but also cites an article that argues Israel is behind the virus .
According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officer ” has argued that “ the US and Israel are working together.
” The same source that Iran ’ s Press TV relied on for its March 8 article is the same website in the US that once published an article claiming “ America ’ s Jews are driving America ’ s wars.
” That article was tweeted by another former CIA member Valerie Plame in 2017 .
She is now seeking to run for Congress even though her chances hit a setback on March 7 at a pre-primary convention .
Iran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same antisemitic rantings for its articles today about coronavirus .
Unfortunately , these made-up stories are mostly a sign of desperation .

prisonplanet--2020-03-09--New York Firefighters Won’t Respond To Coronavirus Calls

The New York City Fire Department ( FDNY ) won ’ t dispatch its firefighters to potential coronavirus calls , as the city leaves it in the hands of EMTs and paramedics , according to the New York Post ( which bizarrely opens their article with : “ They ’ re not the Bravest when it comes to the coronavirus.
” ) The department issued an order Friday temporarily relieving firefighters from responding to calls of the second highest priority for patients with fever , coughing , difficulty breathing or even those who are unconscious .
A fever , cough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ symptoms of the novel coronavirus , officially called COVID-19 .
–New York Post .
“ Effective immediately , the following call types will temporarily not receive a [ certified first responder ] response , ” states paperwork obtained by the New York Daily News .
According to the report , paramedics are shocked at the decision : “ We can ’ t believe they would put out this order during one of the biggest citywide health crises .
The fact that they ’ re abdicating all of this is just astounding , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re talking about people who call themselves the Bravest.
” Alternatively , you ’ re talking about people whose job it is to fight fires – not contract a hyper-virulent disease that would prevent them from fighting fires… as opposed to an EMT , whose job description includes likely exposure to pathogens .
“ They would literally lose the firehouse .
If you lose the house , the response times go through the roof , ” said one veteran paramedic , while the Post notes that at least 30 Seattle-area firefighters were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nursing home where coronavirus erupted .
“ It puts everyone at risk .
It puts EMS workers at risk , when we don ’ t have the resources .
It puts the lives of New Yorkers at risk if they ’ re not on scene , ” said EMS lieutenant Anthony Almojera , vice president of Local 3621 of the FDNY Uniformed EMS Officers .
“ If this thing really takes off — we have the state of emergency now — these kids aren ’ t going to be able to handle it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there are a lot of rookies in the EMS ranks .
All FDNY firefighters are certified first responders , and will continue to respond to the highest priority cases such as cardiac arrest or choking , said FDNY spokesman Frank Dwyer .
“ Firefighters continue to respond to the highest priority medical calls , whether they are potential COVID-19 calls or not including … cardiac and respiratory arrests , choking , and trauma incidents , ” Dwyer said .
–New York Post .
City Councilman Joseph Borelli , who also serves as chairman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , called the restriction “ a smart idea , ” according to the Post .
“ It seems like a logical way to reduce the number of people who come in close contact with coronavirus patients , ” he added .
“ Someone complaining of flu-like symptoms doesn ’ t need an engine company with five firefighters.
” That said , the new order comes amid a “ critical shortage ” of EMT staff .

prisonplanet--2020-03-09--Elon Musk Defends “Dumb” Coronavirus Tweet With Inane, Pompous Sounding Non-Sequiturial Word Salad

Just hours after Tesla CEO Elon Musk weighed in with one of his biggest brain farts of the century – calling the coronavirus panic “ dumb ” , he again took to Twitter at about 1AM his local time Sunday morning to double down on his statement and defend his reasoning using a word salad of half-assed smart-sounding terms that amounted to one giant non-sequitur .
Asked by another Twitter user what his reasoning was for calling the panic “ dumb ” , Musk responded by Tweeting : Nevermind the fact that “ virality ” isn ’ t a medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dictionary as “ the tendency of an image , video , or piece of information to be circulated rapidly and widely from one Internet user to another , ” the point that Musk appears to be trying to make is simply that we don ’ t have enough raw data on incubation period to model out what the virus is going to do from here .
But we guess that saying something simple wouldn ’ t work for Musk for two reasons : • It doesn ’ t sound smart enough , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Musk appears to be on a quest to make sure everyone knows he got an “ A ” on all of his vocabulary tests while in primary school .
• If that ’ s actually his point , it could be argued from both sides of the camp in debating whether or not panic is warranted regarding the virus ( i.e .
not enough data could also mean things are worse than they appear ) .
Musk then continued to opine , referring to the coronavirus as a “ cold ” : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Medical News Today recently debunked .
In their piece about common myths regarding the coronavirus , one “ conspiracy ” they explored and debunked was that “ SARS-CoV-2 is just a mutated form of the common cold ” .
Musk also assumes , again due to lack of data , that fatality rates will revert to a lower mean as testing becomes more ubiquitous .
While this may be true , the lack of data again could go both ways , and isn ’ t necessarily a rock solid point to argue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ process .
Social media seemed to understand this and , like days ago , proceeded to rail Musk for his pompous diatribe : As we noted hours ago , Musk ’ s tweeterpretation of events stands at odds with people who actually know what they ’ re talking about , despite garnering millions of likes .
Actual mathematician Nassim Nicholas Taleb , who wrote the 2008 book “ The Black Swan ” that foreshadowed the global financial crisis , spoke out about Musk ’ s original Tweet on Sunday .
“ If the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ reaction , could be so at the individual level but NOT at the collective one .
… We have survived for zillion years thanks to ‘ irrational ’ ‘ panics , ’ ” Taleb tweeted in response to Musk .
Taleb said that “ to act rational during a viral outbreak that has few consequences for the individual could lead to greater overall death .
If we fail to panic , the virus becomes a bigger source of risk for society , he argued .
The novel coronavirus has reached pandemic levels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s home state of California , has infected nearly 100,000 people globally and has killed more than 3,400 people .
As major Silicon Valley players like Facebook , Microsoft and Amazon all have confirmed at least one employee has tested positive , Musk ’ s interpretation of the events simply stands at odds with reality .
Which , we guess , is what we should be used to with Musk at this point anyway .
Maybe instead of lashing out on Twitter at 1AM to show the world what a genius he is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other types of daily affirmations .
Say it with us , Elon .
“ I ’ m good enough , I ’ m smart enough , and doggone it , people like me !

Liz Specht , the associate director of Science and Technology for the Good Food Institute , cautioned that most people were not aware of the risk of “ systemic healthcare failure ” from coronavirus because they simply haven ’ t run the numbers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in biology , says to expect a doubling of cases every 6 days .
“ We ’ re looking at about 1M US cases by the end of April , 2M by ~May 5 , 4M by ~May 11 , and so on .
Exponentials are hard to grasp , but this is how they go , ” she said .
Specht then pointed out that at this rate , hospital capacity will be exhausted within 2 months .
“ The US has about 2.8 hospital beds per 1000 people .
With a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beds .
At any given time , 65 % of those beds are already occupied .
That leaves about 330k beds available nationwide ( perhaps a bit fewer this time of year with regular flu season , etc ) .
” “ Let ’ s trust Italy ’ s numbers and assume that about 10 % of cases are serious enough to require hospitalization .
( Keep in mind that for many patients , hospitalization lasts for *weeks* — in other words , turnover will be *very* slow as beds fill with COVID19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ estimate , by about May 8th , all open hospital beds in the US will be filled .
( This says nothing , of course , about whether these beds are suitable for isolation of patients with a highly infectious virus . )
” She notes that even if the numbers are off by a factor of two and only 5 % of cases need hospitalization , beds will still run out by May 14th .
Specht is sounding the alarm bell about the “ abject refusal of many countries to adequately respond @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that “ only 2 % will die ” given the potential for the virus to infect billions of people .
“ One more thought : you ’ ve probably seen multiple respected epidemiologists have estimated that 20-70 % of world will be infected within the next year .
If you use 6-day doubling rate I mentioned above , we land at ~2-6 billion infected by sometime in July of this year , ” she concludes .

prisonplanet--2020-03-09--Irish Students Fool Antifa with Fake Antifa Twitter Honeypot, Collect Info on Far-Left Doxxers

A conservative Irish student group set up a successful honeypot operation against Antifa activists with a Twitter account that advertised itself as a hub to dox and harass right-of-center and nationalist students on college campuses .
Online student publication The Burkean , which describes itself as “ founded and run by university students in Ireland that seeks to promote free speech and fresh ideas , ” set up an account with the Twitter handle @ irishantifa in December of last year .
The account ’ s official name was “ Irish Students Against Fascism , ” and was branded as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ physically , socially and professionally harass individuals engaged with conservative or nationalist politics on campuses.
” In December of last year a Twitter account was set-up .
Titled “ Irish Students Against Fascism ” , it described itself as an aspiring antifascist organising hub to physically , socially and professionally harass individuals engaged with conservative or nationalist politics on campuses .
Very soon the account garnered well over a thousand followers , with retweets from the Union of Students Ireland ’ s official account among other leftist activist organizations .
The account boasted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relating to students on campus , particularly in Young Fine Gael , and invited individuals to contribute over private messaging .
What has been unknown until today was that , from the very onset , the page was operated by students involved with The Burkean .
The account was set up with the intent of performing long term investigative work into antifascism in Ireland , as well as its insidious and often blatant links with civic society , journalism and politics .
Put politely , antifascism is the euphemism given to the work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with right leaning sympathies .
While traditionally associated with left republicanism , it is these days more often than not linked to Ireland ’ s ubiquitous NGO complex , as well as well-funded activists heavily networked within the world of journalism , politics and the private sector .
The Burkean goes on to reveal that is has uncovered evidence of political corruption and conspiracies that starts at the level of student activism and works its way up “ like a conveyor belt , to the NGO complex and the halls of the Oireachtas.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Burkean will be publishing a series of exclusive messages , audio and video recordings that give a hint of the sheer scale of this corruption , ” the Burkean says .
Included in these exposes will reportedly be information about illegal doxxing networks operated by far-left activists in academia .
“ Antifascist activity should and must carry a degree of social stigma matching its maliciousness , and henceforth , in Ireland it will , ” the report concludes .
“ What will be made public in the coming weeks is not some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hard evidence of a clear nexus of people with one hand on the levers of power at every level of Irish life.
” Antifa activists were quick to proclaim that they “ totally knew ” about the honeypot from the beginning , but were quickly as exposed as naive in screenshots taken from the Irish Students Against Fascism account just days earlier .

prisonplanet--2020-03-09--The Bible Says That There Will Be “Pestilences” In The Last Days

The Bible Says That There Will Be “ Pestilences ” In The Last Days Jesus specifically warned us that there would be “ pestilences ” in the end times , and so if we really are approaching the time of His return this is one of the things that we should be watching for .
Of course we don ’ t know if COVID-19 is one of the “ pestilences ” that Jesus was referring to , but in recent days it has greatly distressed me to see so many Christians attempting to downplay the severity of this virus .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ global death toll have both been rising at an exponential rate day after day , and experts are warning that over half of the population of the world could eventually get this virus , but so many voices out there are boldly assuring people that they don ’ t have anything to be concerned about even though they don ’ t have any medical credentials at all .
Personally , I think that it pays to listen to the experts during a crisis like this , and the experts are telling us that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as you will see below , a doctor that sat on the White House Homeland Security Council is saying that this is the most “ frightening disease ” that he has ever encountered .
After everything that we have already learned about this virus , anyone that is not taking this pandemic seriously is not being wise .
But is this just another pandemic that will come and go , or is this one of the “ pestilences ” that we were warned about almost 2000 years ago ?
In Luke chapter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what conditions would be like just prior to His return , and in verse 11 He specifically warned that there would be “ pestilences ” .
The following comes from the King James Version… We have definitely seen a rise in seismic activity in recent years , billions of locustsare devouring crops from eastern Africa all the way to China right now , and Australia just had the worst harvest season that they have ever recorded .
So it is interesting to note that the stage is being set for some of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very same time that this coronavirus outbreak is starting to spiral out of control .
Only time will tell if COVID-19 is truly one of the “ pestilences ” that Jesus was referring to , but at this point it has become exceedingly clear that we should all be taking it very seriously .
This virus jumps from person to person with incredible ease , and it has a death rate that is about 34 times higher than the ordinary flu .
In fact , the death rate for COVID-19 is actually higher @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Flu pandemic .
And let us never forget that the Spanish Flu pandemic killed between 50 million and 100 million people from 1918 to 1920 .
I do not understand why anyone would possibly want to try to downplay this outbreak , and those that are doing so could end up greatly contributing to the spread of this virus .
Fortunately for us , this outbreak started on the other side of the globe and so we had some time to prepare before it got here .
But now the number of confirmed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to explode , and we are being warned that millions could die .
So will you be like the prudent man in the Book of Proverbs ?
Sadly , a lot of people out there don ’ t seem to grasp the seriousness of what we are potentially facing .
According to Dr.Richard Hatchett , “ 50 – 70 percent of the global population ” could eventually end up catching this virus… An infectious diseases expert at the forefront of the search for a coronavirus vaccine said on Friday that it was the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s ever encountered , and that “ war is an appropriate analogy ” for what the country is facing , as “ 50 – 70 percent of the global population ” may become infected .
Dr. Richard Hatchett , who sat on the White House Homeland Security Council in 2005 – 2006 and was a principal author of the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza Implementation Plan , and currently heads the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations , told the UK ’ s Channel 4 : “ This is the most frightening disease I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and that includes Ebola , it includes MERS , it includes SARS .
And it ’ s frightening because of the combination of infectiousness and a lethality that appears to be manyfold higher than flu.
” That sure sounds like a “ global pestilence ” to me .
Let us pray that he is completely wrong .
But as we pray , it will also be important for us to take recommended precautions .
During an appearance on NBC ’ s “ Meet the Press ” , Dr. Anthony Fauci warned that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conditions ” will need to make adjustments to their lifestyles immediately… Personally , I think that is great advice for all of us .
If you have family members or friends that are not taking this outbreak seriously , you need to try to get through to them .
According to documents that have been leaked to the public , U.S. hospitals “ are preparing for 96 million coronavirus infections ” … Of course there are some experts that are warning that this outbreak will be even worse , and if that happens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of epic proportions .
For years , Bible-believing Christians all over America have been preaching that Jesus is coming back soon .
And for years , we have seen so many other pieces of the end times prophetic scenario start to come together .
Now a global pestilence has erupted , and in Luke 21 we were specifically warned to watch for “ pestilences ” in the last days .
Once again , only time will tell if COVID-19 is one of those “ pestilences ” , but without a doubt all of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , very seriously .

prisonplanet--2020-03-09--Out Of Time: U.S. Cases Explode As The Coronavirus Pandemic Reaches A Tipping Point

Out Of Time : U.S. Cases Explode As The Coronavirus Pandemic Reaches A Tipping Point If you thought that we had more time before this coronavirus pandemic exploded out of control in the United States , I am sorry to say that you are out of luck .
In all of the major nations in the western world , the number of confirmed cases escalated dramatically over the past few days .
Here in the U.S. , COVID-19 has now reached 33 states , and the number of confirmed cases seems to literally be changing every few minutes as more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we witnessed another wild round of panic buying as people feverishly stocked up for an extended pandemic , but at least Americans are not throwing punches at each other over toilet paper like we are witnessing elsewhere in the world .
Needless to say , all of this insanity is badly rattling Wall Street .
The markets are going absolutely nuts , and it looks like this could be a truly historic week .
Much more importantly , it looks like any hope of containing this virus is now completely dead .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Food and Drug Administration just told the entire nation that we are “ past the point of containment ” now .
Once this virus gets into an area , it can spread like wildfire .
If you doubt this , just look at what is happening in New York .
Just a few days ago there was one confirmed case , and now there is 105 .
The following comes from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo… Cuomo also shocked many members of the media when he absolutely lambasted the CDC .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states greatly suppressed the amount of testing up to this point , and Cuomo seems to be among those that believe that this was a huge mistake… It would be difficult to overstate the anger that many Americans are feeling toward the CDC right now .
So far , South Korea has been able to test more than 140,000 of their citizens for COVID-19 , but as of Saturday the CDC had tested fewer than 1,600… If the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. is rising so rapidly with such limited testing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now that testing will really be ramping up ?
I think that we all know that answer .
Originally , U.S. officials had hoped to keep any outbreaks inside the United States strictly contained , but now that plan is out the window .
On Sunday , Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams openly admitted that we have now shifted to the mitigation phase… So how many more cases will we ultimately see ?
Chillingly , some experts believe that it will be in the millions .
If that turns out to be accurate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do to our economy ?
Things are really starting to get crazy out there .
On Sunday , we learned that even U.S .
Senator Ted Cruz has gone into “ self-quarantine ” because he came into contact with someone that was infected by the virus .
For the moment , our healthcare system will be able to handle the number of cases , but that could soon change .
In fact , it is being estimated that all available hospital beds could be completely filled by May 8th… A sobering analysis of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US healthcare system suggests that hospitals will be quickly overwhelmed with patients , and that all available beds will be filled by around May 8th if the virus tracks with Italy ’ s figures and 10 % of patients require an ICU .
Of note , the Straits Times reported last week that thousands of people were waiting for hospital beds in South Korea as the disease surges .
Liz Specht , a PhD in biology and the associate director of Science and Technology for the Good Food Institute laid out her concerns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which you can see here on Twitter , or continue reading below .
So if you get sick after that , you may be out of luck .
Over in Italy , this pandemic has already progressed to an extremely dangerous stage .
The Italians now have the highest death toll of anywhere outside of China , and the number of confirmed cases has been escalating at a pace that is difficult to believe .
In a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding , the Italian government has locked down “ more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ … We better hope so , because the progression of this outbreak in Italy has been truly frightening… Of course we will see similar numbers in country after country pretty soon .
In the UK , they appear to be on a very similar track… Fighting this virus has been compared to trying to fight the air , because COVID-19 spreads from person to person really easily .
In fact , one team of scientists is now telling us that it looks like it may “ spread through air-conditioning units ” … Where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that there will be a raging pandemic in every nation on Earth ?
If millions die from this virus , global financial markets will utterly collapse , economic conditions will be unimaginable , great civil unrest will erupt all over the planet and our society will be unrecognizable .
So far , this virus has a higher death rate than the Spanish Flu , and the Spanish Flu pandemic killed between 50 million and 100 million people .
This is not a drill .
This pandemic is out of control and the dead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The months ahead are going to be really challenging , but with God ’ s help we will find a way to get through this .

“ The panic must stop .
And the press , they really somehow need to be held accountable because they are hurting people.
” he asserted .
Of the virus , Dr Drew added that “ There are probably several people in this building that probably have it and don ’ t know it.
” “ I think there was it was a concerted effort by the press to capture your eyes and in doing so they did it by inducing panic.
” he added @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming , the corona , I thought I know how this is gon na go , I see kind of what it is and then I saw the excessive reaction the press , so I have to respond and then people , the weird part on social media towards me as people are angry with me , angry with me for trying to get them to see reality and calm down.
” he further explained .
Dr Drew previously slammed the media for doom-mogering over the virus , describing it as “ overblown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should not be reporting medical stories as though they know how to report it , ” he said .

Four Scenarios Of How Covid-19 Could Wreak Havoc On Global Economy The grave risks and dangers of a globalized world of interlocking supply chains over the last four decades is starting to be realized as the crash of China ’ s economy could cost the world $ 2.7 trillion .
Bloomberg Economics says the shutdown of China ’ s economy could have severe implications for the rest of the world and lays out four scenarios of what could happen next : The first scenario is a plunge in China ’ s economy , with a modest spillover of economic damage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the US .
China is a source of demand for multinationals based across the world , and if China can reopen its economy as soon as possible , contagion can be minimized .
The scenario says a “ severe shock in the first half would be followed by recovery in the second .
For the world as a whole , and major economies like the US , the impact would then be hard to see in the full-year GDP data.
” The second scenario is the assumption that the Covid-19 outbreak worsens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disrupted with the hopes of a V-shape recovery transforming into a U-Shape dip , which would result in localized disruptions for Asia Pacific countries and Europe .
The scenario assumes Asia Pacific countries like South Korea and Japan , and European countries like Germany , France , and Italy , would experience supply chain disruptions because of the lack of parts sourced from China due to factory shutdowns .

“ In scenario three , we layer on a more severe shock to South Korea , Italy , Japan , France , and Germany .
And we add a smaller shock to all the countries that had reported any cases as of the start of March .
That includes the U.S. , India , the U.K. , Canada , and Brazil—meaning that all of the world ’ s 10 biggest economies suffer a slowdown as they fight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus , ” Bloomberg said .
The scenario says global growth would slide to 1.2 % for the year , Europe and Japan would plunge into a recession , and the US economy would expand by .5 % with a reversal in the unemployment level by the end of the year .
The fourth scenario is a “ global pandemic.
” Bloomberg says in this model virus cases and deaths soar across all major economies and causes one of the most massive economic shocks the world has seen since the 2008 financial crisis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plunges to zero ; the US , Europe , and Japan dive into recession , which would trigger a massive $ 2.7 trillion hit in global output .
Last month Michael Every of Rabobank laid out his four scenarios for the virus ’ economic and market impact : “ The Bad , ” “ The Worse , ” “ The Ugly , ” and “ The Unthinkable.
” In an updated post on March 4 , Every said , “ It ’ s Getting ‘ The Ugly , ' ” as this scenario @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Europe were infected too .
Naturally , this implied a deep global recession.
” And it appears the world is just one step away from “ The Unthinkable , ” which Every describes this scenario as a global pandemic that has only been seen in Hollywood movies .

Coronavirus Can Stay In Air For 30 Minutes , Travel Twice ‘ Safe Distance ’ According To Study Aerosolized coronavirus can hang in the air for at least 30 minutes and travel up to 14 feet – approximately twice the “ safe distance ” recommended by health officials , according to SCMP .
The study , conducted by a team of Chinese government epidemiologists from Hunan province , also found that the virus can survive for days on a surface where respiratory droplets land .
The length of time it lasts on the surface depends on factors such as temperature @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example at around 37C ( 98F ) , it can survive for two to three days on glass , fabric , metal , plastic or paper .
These findings , from a group of official researchers from Hunan province investigating a cluster case , challenge the advice from health authorities around the world that people should remain apart at a “ safe distance ” of one to two metres ( three to six and a half feet ) .

“ It can be confirmed that in a closed environment with air-conditioning , the transmission distance of the new coronavirus will exceed the commonly recognised safe distance , ” the researchers wrote in their paper , published in peer-reviewed journal , Practical Preventive Medicine .
“ Our advice is to wear a face mask all the way [ through the bus ride ] , ” the researchers recommended .

Lead author Hu Shixiong said that the camera footage revealed patient “ A ” did not interact with anyone throughout the four-hour ride , yet the virus infected seven other passengers by the time the bus stopped at the next city .
Infected passengers included not only those sitting relatively close to “ patient zero , ” but people six rows away – or 4.5 meters ( 14.76 feet ) .
All seven tested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no symptoms .
Then , 30 minutes later , another group of passengers got on the bus – one of whom was sitting in the front seat when they also became infected .
Patient “ A ” meanwhile , got on another minibus and infected two other passengers .

Russia , Which Closed Its Border in January , Has Coronavirus Under Control Some kind of connection here .
Russia , which closed most of its border ports back in January , has registered just 20 coronavirus cases , many of them Russians returning from Italy , and zero deaths .
At the end of January , Russia announced it had closed the entirety of its 2,600-mile border with China .
Moscow also asked all returning citizens to self-quarantine and banned Chinese citizens from entering the country .
The result is that Russia has avoided the kind of panic that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ porous borders , most notably Italy ( ruled by a left-wing open borders government ) which now has 9,172 coronavirus cases and has recorded 463 deaths .
The entire nation of Italy has also now been placed under de facto quarantine , with all public gatherings banned and at least 16 million people prevented from leaving the north of the country .
Contrast that with Russia , which thanks to its strong border measures has recorded just 20 coronavirus cases , most of whom were Russians returning from Italy and some of whom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have died .
Unlike other European countries , most of which allow people to enter from Italy without even testing them , Russia has also enforced strict quarantine procedures , threatening anyone who violates their self-quarantine with 5 years in prison .
Despite the escalating infection and death toll , European Union leaders have repeatedly insisted that no border controls will be implemented .
Russia has also firmly ignored the World Health Organization ’ s demands that profiling be avoided in order to reduce “ stigmatization.
” As we highlighted last month , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passengers believed to be Chinese for signs of coronavirus , leading Beijing to file an official complaint .
Unlike other major European countries such as Italy , Germany and France , whatever Russia is doing appears to be working and Moscow certainly won ’ t be making any apologies .

prisonplanet--2020-03-10--Psychologist: Big Tech Will Use “Subliminal Methods” to Shift 15 Million Votes on Election Day

Psychologist : Big Tech Will Use “ Subliminal Methods ” to Shift 15 Million Votes on Election Day Warns it will cost Trump the election .
Psychologist Robert Epstein says that Big Tech is planning to use “ subliminal methods ” in the upcoming election that could shift up to 15 million votes and cost Trump the presidency .
After the 2016 presidential election , Epstein surmised that search engine bias shifted 2-3 million votes in Hillary Clinton ’ s favor , and he warns that the number in 2020 could be five times that amount .
The author says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ can shift opinions and votes in numerous ways that people can ’ t detect ” via “ a wide variety of subliminal methods of persuasion that can , in minutes , shift the voting preferences of 20 percent or more of undecided voters without anyone having the slightest idea they ’ ve been manipulated.
” A leak of Google emails to the Wall Street Journal back in 2018 already exposed how Google engineers had sought to investigate how they could manipulate a user ’ s “ ephemeral experiences ” to change their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Ephemeral experiences are those fleeting ones we have every day when we view online content that ’ s generated on-the-fly and isn ’ t stored anywhere : newsfeeds , search suggestions , search results , and so on , ” writes Epstein .
“ No authority can go back in time to see what search suggestions or search results you were shown , but dozens of randomized , controlled , double-blind experiments I ’ ve conducted show that such content can dramatically shift opinions and voting preferences .
See the problem ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ complete control over what is seen and what is allowed to go viral , Epstein emphasizes , making it completely pointless to produce political ads if you can not prevent algorithmic manipulation .
“ If our own tech companies all favor the same presidential candidate this year—and that seems likely—I calculate that they can easily shift 15 million votes to that candidate without people knowing and without leaving a paper trail , ” warns Epstein .
He also notes how the the “ technological elite ” Eisenhower warned about in his 1961 farewell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the fact that “ 95 percent of donations from tech companies and their employees go to Democrats.
” Epstein says the only way to prevent all this is aggressive monitoring of algorithmic manipulation .
“ When bias is detected that has the potential to shift votes , it needs to be reported immediately to the media , the Federal Election Commission , members of Congress , and other authorities , ” he writes .
“ That will force the tech execs to back off ; if they don ’ t , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and , quite possibly , criminal prosecution.
” Despite highlighting the issue for years , Republicans have done next to nothing to address social media censorship and algorithm manipulation .
Numerous major boosters of President Trump during the 2016 election have also been completely banned on social media .
Pointing out that the margin of victory in many nationwide races is as little as 5 per cent , Epstein cautions , “ Republicans , in general , are likely to lose.
” Epstein also emphasized that given his knowledge about what Big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not suicidal.
” This is particularly noteworthy given that the psychologist previously suggested that his wife ’ s fatal car crash may not have been accidental .

Says hysteria is being fueled to manipulate financial markets .
MIT scientist Shiva Ayyadurai claims that coronavirus “ fear mongering ” is a “ Deep State fraud ” to manipulate financial markets .
Ayyadurai , who is noted for his controversial claim to be the “ inventor of email , ” has a PhD in Biological Engineering and is running as a Republican in the 2020 U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts .
Responding to President Donald Trump ’ s claim that Democrats and the media are responsible for inflaming the coronavirus scare “ far beyond what the facts would warrant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was being overblown for political and economic reasons .
“ As an MIT PhD in Biological Engineering who studies & does research nearly every day on the Immune System , the # coronavirus fear mongering by the Deep State will go down in history as one of the biggest fraud to manipulate economies , suppress dissent , & push MANDATED Medicine !
” tweeted Ayyadurai .
Indeed , no matter the true scale of the crisis , there ’ s little doubt that Democrats have seized upon it to blame Trump for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of cheering on the chaos .
While Trump has been blasted for leaving the United States ill-prepared to deal with a potential pandemic , with just 5,000 people in the U.S. being tested for the virus , others have asserted that the crisis has been hijacked by Trump ’ s political adversaries to blame him unfairly .
Whether one treats the outbreak as a significant threat to the world or an over-hyped hysteria does appear to break down along partisan lines .

Italians are being told to stay inside unless they need to buy medicines by health authorities patrolling neighborhoods with loudspeakers as the coronavirus quarantine begins to take hold .
With 60 million people having their movements restricted , the video has a somewhat post-apocalytpic feel as Italians are told , “ Please stay at home & go outside only when you need to buy medicines or see doctors .
Please follow our rules & wear face masks.

Latest figures show there have been 9,172 cases and 463 deaths across the country as travel is highly restricted and all public gatherings forbidden .

According to one expert , the “ outbreak has basically ended in China , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ South Korea are also on the decline .
Italy is far from being able to say it ’ s in a similar position , with more than a thousand new coronavirus cases being reported in each of the last three days .

Cases already on the decline .
Numbers out of Singapore , South Korea and even China which show cases leveling off and declining suggest that coronavirus can be controlled without millions of people in the west becoming infected .
Despite widespread panic buying and a financial market collapse , figures from these three countries suggest COVID-19 can be successfully combated if the right measures are taken .
According to the country ’ s health minister , South Korea has “ passed the peak ” of coronavirus infections and is now seeing a decline in cases .
Despite suffering more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases in recent days are on the downturn .
448 new cases were recorded on March 7 , 272 cases on March 8 and 165 cases on March 9 .
The World Health Organization has also praised Singapore ’ s response to the outbreak .
Despite the country recording 160 cases there have been zero deaths and 93 of the victims have already been discharged .
New cases are also on the decline .
While the claims of the Communist Party should always be treated with a grain of salt , it also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over for China .
Chinese President Xi Jinping said today that the ‘ tide has turned ’ with the number of new infections “ dropping dramatically in recent weeks , ” reports AFP .
With state media claiming the last of Wuhan ’ s 16 makeshift hospitals had closed , Xi asserted the spread of coronavirus “ has been basically curbed in Hubei province and its capital city Wuhan.
” China reported only 17 new cases of coronavirus in Wuhan on Tuesday , the lowest figure since it began publishing data .
According @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the National University of Singapore ’ s Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy , the “ outbreak has basically ended in China.
” However , these numbers won ’ t provide much comfort to Italy , which has now gone under a total quarantine having recorded more than a thousand new coronavirus cases in each of the last three days .
Meanwhile , Russia , which closed most of its border early on , has recorded only 20 coronavirus cases and zero deaths .
Most of the victims have already recovered .

In yet another shameless act of price gouging , a hardware store in New York is selling bottles of hand sanitizer for $ 109 dollars a pop .
Taking full advantage of the growing hysteria surrounding coronavirus , Scheman & Grant Hardware at Eighth Avenue and 38th Street is now selling 1200 ml bottles of Purell that normally retail for $ 5.49 for a gargantuan $ 79 dollars .
Meanwhile , larger 2 liter bottles of Purell are selling for $ 109 each .

The smaller bottles are flying off the shelves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out .
“ Everyone who comes in the store buys them .

Mayor Bill de Blasio reacted by saying the situation sounded like price gouging and that he would be sending the Department of Consumer Affairs to “ pay them a visit immediately.

“ People are raising prices for certain supplies .

Of course you ’ re going to raise prices !

DNC Changes Debate Rules to Allow Candidates to Sit as Questions Mount Over Biden ’ s Fitness The Democratic National Committee ( DNC ) is changing its debate format to limit the rigorous standing required by candidates , at a time when there is renewed scrutiny over former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s fitness for the White House .

The format change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , would be a departure from the past ten debates , where candidates stood behind lecterns and faced questions from moderators .
