Trump Tells Meghan and Harry to Take a Hike !
U.S. Won ’ t Pay For Their Security Why on earth would U.S. taxpayers pay for Meghan and Harry ’ s security ?
It was their decision to leave the UK .
They can pay for their own security .
But these two selfish and entitled brats actually believe that the already over-taxed Americans should also pay for their security so Meghan can chase after her “ Hollywood dream.
” Well , the final say-so was up to President Trump and he smartly said “ NO !
” President Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States would not pay for security protection for Britain ’ s Prince Harry and his wife , Meghan , who , according to media reports , have settled in Los Angeles .
Trump wrote on Twitter that “ now they have left Canada for the U.S. however , the U.S. will not pay for their security protection .
They must pay !
” In January , the couple said they would step away from their royal duties .
There is no indication that either Prince Harry or the British government has asked the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which some media reports have said run to millions a year .
The British Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment .
Britain ’ s Sun newspaper reported last week the couple took a private flight to Los Angeles , but did not say when .
Earlier this month , the United States and Canada agreed to close their border to non-essential travel at land crossings to ease the strain on health systems caused by the coronavirus .
The couple had been living for several months with their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Canada .
[ HT.com ] Maybe Harry better get a job acting in Hollywood too – that way he can pay for security for his family because I bet that ain ’ t cheap !
Or , he Harry can man-up and go back home with the Royals where he and his son belong .

Why Coronavirus Mortality Is So High in Italy Italy ’ s mortality rate from the Wuhan coronavirus has alarmed the world .
It currently stands at 11 % ( compared to well under 2 % in the USA ) .
The scary Italian numbers may not be accurate .
Professor Walter Ricciardi is scientific adviser to Italy ’ s Minister of Health .
He reveals that Italy ’ s death rate is inflated by the way fatalities are recorded .
Everyone who has COVID-19 and dies in a hospital is counted as dying of the virus , even if they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it may have been exacerbated by the virus ) .
“ On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health , only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from coronavirus , while 88 per cent of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity – many had two or three , ” he says .
Death rates are also inflated because those with severe cases of the disease are overwhelmingly more likely to be tested for it .
This holds true in other countries , including the USA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a communist dictatorship , it probably invents the numbers on a political basis , making them meaningless .
There is no question that Wuhan coronavirus is a serious disease .
But in hindsight , the economic devastation that is being inflicted so as to slow its spread may come to look like driving off the edge of a cliff so as to avoid hitting a nasty pothole .

Former Congressman : Gretchen Whitmer REJECTED My Offer of Facemasks Former Republican Michigan Congressman Kerry Bentivolio told National File that Democrat Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer ’ s office rejected his offer to provide her with thousands of medical face masks that he obtained to help the people of Michigan .
Whitmer has criticized President Donald Trump ’ s administration for supposedly failing to deliver face masks and other medical supplies to her state .
Whitmer said Saturday that FEMA delivered 112,000 N95 face masks to her state .
Previously , Whitmer ’ s office rejected Bentivolio ’ s help while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Bentivolio purchased 3,000 N95 face masks to help people in his state , and he ’ s receiving another 2,000 masks from Texas .
Bentivolio , who served in Congress from Michigan ’ s 11th District from 2013 to 2015 , said he called Whitmer ’ s office after he received the masks , and spoke to one of the governor ’ s representatives .
“ I just called them and said , I ’ ll deliver them to wherever .

We ’ re not getting the tools we need from the federal government , so it ’ s on all of us to work together to protect each other , ” Whitmer stated .
Whitmer also issued an order warning that the state could investigate medical professionals who prescribe hydroxychloroquine for Coronavirus , after President Donald Trump promoted the anti-malarial drug as a treatment for COVID-19 .

prisonplanet--2020-03-30--Some States Are Now Intercepting Travelers From Other States And Forcing Them Into Quarantine

Some States Are Now Intercepting Travelers From Other States And Forcing Them Into Quarantine All of a sudden , people all over the country are very afraid of travelers from New York , Louisiana and other COVID-19 “ hotspots ” across the nation .
In fact , as you will see below , some states are now trying to intercept travelers from other states and force them into quarantine .
Measures that would have been unthinkable just a few short weeks ago have now become a reality , and things are likely to get even crazier in the days ahead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much fear already even though less than 3,000 Americans have died so far , what will the level of fear be if 30,000 or 300,000 Americans die ?
Unfortunately , many experts are now warning that the death toll will eventually get very high in this country .
For example , on Sunday Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN that he expects to see more than 100,000 deaths in the U.S. alone… This virus spreads so easily from person to person , and once it gets loose in a city it can spread like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ City is being hit harder than anywhere else in the country .
At this point close to 700 members of the NYPD have tested positive for the virus , and the public transportation system is being flooded with calls from sick employees… Overall , the death toll in New York has reached nearly 1,000 , and many believe that what we have seen so far is just the beginning .
Needless to say , hospitals are rapidly being overwhelmed , and basic medical supplies are being used up fast .
Fortunately , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
On Sunday , I was greatly encouraged to learn that Samaritan ’ s Purse is actually putting up a field hospital in Central Park… But as other states have watched the nightmare that is currently unfolding in New York , they have become greatly alarmed , and some have even taken measures to try to prevent New Yorkers from spreading the virus to their communities .
Beginning on Friday , authorities in Rhode Island started stopping vehicles “ with New York plates ” , and any New Yorkers that were discovered were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” … When New York Governor Andrew Cuomo found out about this , he went ballistic , because it specifically discriminated against citizens of his state .
So Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo later expanded the directive to include anybody coming into Rhode Island from any other state… Of course Rhode Island is basically the size of a postage stamp , and so not that many people are too worried about what they are doing .
But Florida is a much bigger deal .
Florida has already been forcing anyone flying in from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and on Friday Governor Ron DeSantis expanded that directive to include anyone traveling into the state from Louisiana… In fact , a highway checkpoint has already been set up on Interstate 10 so that police can monitor who is coming into the state… In the days ahead , more states may start implementing such measures .
So if you are still not where you want to be to ride out this pandemic , you need to get there as quickly as possible .
We still don ’ t know how bad this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may fizzle out with just a few hundred thousand deaths globally , or we may end up with a nightmare scenario in which millions die .
We just don ’ t know yet .
But those that are running things are starting to act like we are facing a worst case scenario , and that should deeply alarm us all .
For instance , I was quite surprised to learn that officials from U.S. Northern Command have isolated themselves inside the giant Cheyenne Mountain facility in Colorado… Perhaps such a move is warranted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but what really got my attention was the following statement that O ’ Shaughnessy made… Apparently so many people were clamoring to get inside Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station that he was concerned that there wouldn ’ t be room for them all ?
I don ’ t like the sound of that at all .
We live in very strange times , and they are about to get even stranger .
I hope that you are somewhere safe , and I hope that you are well stocked up for the long , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

The Economic Depression Of 2020: Many Of The Restaurants, Bars And Retailers That Have Closed Will Never Open Again

The Economic Depression Of 2020 : Many Of The Restaurants , Bars And Retailers That Have Closed Will Never Open Again It appears that we are heading into the worst economic downturn of the post-World War II era , and that is going to be true no matter how this coronavirus pandemic ultimately plays out .
There are some that believe that this virus will only kill thousands , and there are others that are warning that it could kill millions , but everyone can agree that this outbreak is causing an unprecedented amount of fear .
And even once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certain percentage of the population will continue to be afraid to go to restaurants , bars and other small businesses that are open to the public .
Of course many restaurants , bars and small businesses were just barely scraping by during the “ good times ” , and so many of them will simply not be be able to survive if a substantial portion of the population is literally petrified to step through their doors for the foreseeable future .
As long as fear of the coronavirus persists , the U.S. economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world of hurt , and it looks like we may still be in the very early stages of this pandemic .
In fact , we are now being told that the death toll in the U.S. “ could reach 100,000 or more ” … Of course the death toll could ultimately be much lower than that if effective treatments are made widely available to the general public .
We shall have to wait and see if that actually happens .
But meanwhile , fear of the coronavirus is absolutely devastating the economy .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ our restaurant industry has lost 25 billion dollars in sales so far this month… As this crisis stretches on , all of the dominoes in the commercial mortgage market are going to begin to fall .
What we are watching is deeply tragic , because those that work in our restaurants are some of the hardest working people in the entire country .
At this point , 3 percent of our restaurants “ have already permanently closed ” , and another 11 percent “ anticipate they will permanently close within 30 days ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the end of next month , 14 percent of all restaurants in America could be gone for good .
And the longer this pandemic lasts , the higher that number will go .
We didn ’ t see anything like this back in 2008 .
What we are now facing is truly unprecedented , and there is going to be a whole lot of vacant buildings in the days ahead .
Of course it isn ’ t just restaurants that are being hit extremely hard .
According to the Wall Street Journal , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country are already in very serious trouble… Even if all of the lockdowns all over the U.S. were immediately lifted , economic activity would not return to “ normal ” , because millions upon millions of Americans would still be deeply afraid of the virus .
And that isn ’ t going to happen anyway .
In fact , President Trump just extended the national “ social distancing guidelines ” through April 30th… So that means that it is probably unlikely that any of the lockdowns on the state level that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 30th .
Across the Atlantic , citizens of the United Kingdom are being warned that life may not get back to normal “ for six months or even longer ” … Would they really try to keep people inside for that long ?
I can promise you that people do not have that much patience .
If you doubt this , just look at what is happening in China… Here in the U.S. , I have been seeing people all over social media clamoring for a return to normalcy .
Sadly , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the foreseeable future , and the consequences for the U.S. economy are going to be extremely , extremely bitter .

Drug Dealer : People Are “ Panic Buying ” Cocaine and Weed to Cope With Coronavirus Lockdown A top drug dealer in the UK has revealed that people are “ panic buying ” cocaine and marijuana to help them get through the coronavirus lockdown .
The drug dealer , who has 20 dealers out on the street and 200 regular customers , told the Guardian , “ People are panicking – the amounts of cannabis they ’ re buying is ridiculous – so we are just dealing to regulars now.

British Scientific Advisors: China Covering Up Full Extent Of Coronavirus; Could Be 40 Times Worse Than Reported

British Scientific Advisors : China Covering Up Full Extent Of Coronavirus ; Could Be 40 Times Worse Than Reported Government believes that the communist state is “ seeking to build its economic power during the pandemic with predatory offers of help ” Scientific advisors to the British government have reportedly told the Prime Minister Boris Johnson that China is covering up the full extent of the coronavirus pandemic , and that things could be 40 times worse there than the communist state admits .
The Daily Mail reports that “ Mr Johnson has been warned by scientific advisers that China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number of cases of coronavirus could be ‘ downplayed by a factor of 15 to 40 times.
’ ” “ There is a disgusting disinformation campaign going on and it is unacceptable , ” an anonymous government source told The Mail .
“ They [ the Chinese government ] know they have got this badly wrong and rather than owning it they are spreading lies.
” “ It is going to be back to the diplomatic drawing board after this .
Rethink is an understatement , ” another government source said , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has to be a reckoning when this is over.
” The British government also “ believes China is seeking to build its economic power during the pandemic with ‘ predatory offers of help ’ [ to ] countries around the world.
’ ” the report continues .
China has been delivering hundreds of thousands of testing kits and masks to nations around the world .
One problem , however , is that they don ’ t work .
“ In Spain , which currently has the fourth-highest number of coronavirus cases in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ test kits from China and South Korea as it fights the pandemic , ” The Free Beacon reported this week .
“ Experts soon discovered , however , that the tests it purchased from Chinese company Bioeasy were only correctly identifying coronavirus cases 30 percent of the time , according to Spain ’ s El Pais.
” the report notes .
“ The Czech Republic also purchased 150,000 rapid test kits from China , and have likewise found problems.
” the report continues , adding that “ One doctor using the tests found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ faulty and has reverted back to the conventional lab tests , which are significantly slower to process.
” Other countries such as Turkey and Georgia , as well as Holland have reported problems with the tests and the masks .
Ever since the outbreak began in December , it has been acknowledged that China has been lying about the true numbers .
A scientific study out of the University of Southampton in the UK found that had China acted sooner to combat their coronavirus , then the further spread could have been almost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have become a global pandemic .
It has become clear that the first cases of the Chinese virus were reported in mid-late November and early December , with scientists even estimating that the first jump of the virus from animals to humans probably occurred in October in the city of Wuhan .
Instead of acting immediately , the Chinese government waited until January 23rd before issuing quarantine orders to the 11 million people living in Wuhan .
The communist state was also actively working to suppress and punish doctors and scientists who tried @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the world by claiming there was “ no evidence ” of human-to-human transmission .
As the communist state relaxed lockdown orders and opened up again this week , further questions were raised .
It has been reported that thousands of urns at funeral homes in Wuhan , along with cremation statistics , do not tally with numbers of new cases and deaths being logged by the Chinese government .

Doctors in central Wuhan are planning to conduct a long-term study of the effects of COVID-19 on the male reproductive system after a small study of 81 men revealed that coronavirus patients haed roughly half the normal ratio of testosterone after contracting the disease , according to SCMP .
Though still preliminary and not peer reviewed , the study is the first clinical observation of the potential impact of Covid-19 , the disease caused by the coronavirus , on the male reproductive system , especially among younger groups .
In a paper published on the preprint research platform medRxiv.org , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan University and the Hubei Clinical Research Centre for Prenatal Diagnosis and Birth Health – said they analysed blood samples from 81 men aged 20 to 54 who tested positive for the coronavirus and were hospitalised in January .

The samples were collected in the last days of their stay in hospital .

A low T/LH ratio can signal hypogonadism – a malfunction of the testicles which could lead to lower production of the sex hormone .
Those with hypogonadism can develop large breasts and erectile dysfunction – a condition which can be cured with testosterone treatment .
“ Since more than half of the people with Covid-19 were reproductive-aged , more attention should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the reproductive system , ” the Wuhan researchers wrote – noting that their results were inconclusive and that other factors such as medication and immune system response could also trigger changes in hormones .

Global Pandemic Response Handing Governments Sweeping Powers They May Never Relinquish The response to the coronavirus pandemic have ranged from mocking the disease ( such has Brazil ’ s Bolsonaro ) to physically sealing people inside of apartment buildings in China .
Now governments are deploying an array of legislative and technical measures to track and control citizens during the outbreak which has killed over 21,000 in roughly three months .

” Like the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S. , the coronavirus pandemic is a crisis of such magnitude that it threatens to change the world in which we live , with ramifications for how leaders govern .
Governments are locking down cities with the help of the army , mapping population flows via smartphones and jailing or sequestering quarantine breakers using banks of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ artificial intelligence .
The restrictions are unprecedented in peacetime and made possible only by rapid advances in technology .
And while citizens across the globe may be willing to sacrifice civil liberties temporarily , history shows that emergency powers can be hard to relinquish .

And perhaps this has worked – as the country has lifted standing travel restrictions as the rest of the world goes into lockdown ( reported resurgence aside ) .
“ China was able to control the outbreak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” said Shanghai worker Joy Huang .
“ I don ’ t want to get tracked , but meanwhile , I don ’ t want infected people not getting tracked .

Netflix app downloads have exploded across Europe over the last several weeks as “ Netflix and quarantine ” has been all the rage during countrywide lockdowns in Italy , France , Spain , and the UK .
We noted last Thursday that Netflix had to reduce traffic to its European networks by 25 % for 30 days to preserve internet functionality as streaming traffic surged among tens of millions of people in quarantine .
Days after Netflix pledged to reduce streaming traffic , experts are saying that European countries could start rolling out large-scale “ internet rationing ” to prioritize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we end up in a situation where worldwide , 850m children start to receive lessons virtually for an extended period of time , then networks might want to start prioritizing video traffic over gaming traffic , ” said Matthew Howett , principal analyst at Assembly , who spoke with The Telegraph .
British internet provider BT Group said their communication network could handle the extreme levels of data of millions surfing the internet while in quarantine .
But they warned that video streaming services could start bogging down the system and leave critical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exposed to slow speeds .
Besides Netflix , Amazon Prime Video and YouTube are other streaming services limiting ultra-high definition videos to European users to preserve the functionality of the internet .
The French and UK governments have reportedly asked Disney to suspend the launch of its new streaming service in both countries on March 24 .
The risk of large-scale “ internet rationings ” by European governments could be on the horizon as more and more people across the continent are forced to shelter in their homes .
This could lead to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while internet traffic is preserved for European healthcare systems , education systems , and emergency systems .
Kester Mann , an analyst at CCS Insight , said “ drastic methods ” could be nearing to throttle the internet if usage continues to increase exponentially : Andrew Ellis , a professor of optical communications at Aston University , called for mass throttling of the UK ’ s internet back in 2015 to avoid overloading networks .
Ellis said last week that the virus crisis has now spurred discussion that the UK ’ s internet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Switzerland have already prioritized their internet traffic if networks become overloaded .
One reason why people aren ’ t rioting in the Western world and have accepted forced quarantines by governments is that they ’ re content with all the food they have just hoarded and can stream almost any movie on Netflix .

Spain ’ s health ministry has announced that it has suffered another record breaking day for Covid-19 deaths as 769 people fell victim to the disease in one day .
Health officials revealed on Friday morning that the number of fatalities jumped to 4,858 , while the number of confirmed infections in the country has risen from 56,188 to 64,059 .

Study : 80,000 Coronavirus Deaths Expected In US By Summer A study by leading health researchers in the US has concluded that 80,000 Americans are expected to die from coronavirus by this Summer , even if social distancing measures are observed .
The research by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation ( IHME ) at the University of Washington ’ s School of Medicine , found that national hospital capacity is likely to be overwhelmed by the second week of April .
The lower end of death toll estimate is 38,000 , with the worst case scenario expected to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The data the researchers analysed includes current hospitalisation and mortality rates , in addition to the age , gender and pre-existing health problems of patients .

“ The trajectory of the pandemic will change — and dramatically for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social distancing or relax with other precautions.

The study found that at least 21 US states will run out of intensive care unit beds , and that at least 12 of those states need 50 percent or more beds to deal with the influx of patients that will occur .

With only 500 or so cases confirmed as of Tuesday , Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared in a late-night address that as of midnight ( at the time , only a few hours away ) the entire country of between 1.3 and 1.4 billion people would be placed under a strict lockdown .
Individuals would be allowed to leave just once per day to buy food , and only for trips to buy essential products like medicine , or to see a doctor .
Modi claimed the 21-day lockdown would be necessary to avoid setting India back “ 21 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to save India , to save its every citizen , you , your family…every street , every neighborhood is being put under lockdown.

prisonplanet--2020-03-27--Edward Snowden’s Warning/ Surveillance Measures Will Outlast The Pandemic

Edward Snowden has a warning for those who are giving up liberty for a false sense of security : the temporary mass surveillance measures put in place will be anything but temporary .
Snowden says that these measures are not worth giving up even more liberty .
Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program , and infamous whistleblower Edward Snowden is sounding the alarms about the Orwellian mass surveillance that will long outlast this coronavirus pandemic .
The former CIA contractor , whose leaks exposed the scale of spying programs in the United States , is warning that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the box , it will be hard to put it back .
“ When we see emergency measures passed , particularly today , they tend to be sticky , ” Snowden said in an interview with the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival .
Power corrupts .
It always has and always will .
But people have become comfortable with government officials ruling over them , stealing their money , and telling them what to do .
We ’ ve been transformed into the government ’ s slaves , and Snowden says it ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This virus has so far been an excuse by the ruling class to institute permanent tyranny .
As I ’ ve stated before , I ’ m far less afraid of this virus than I am of the government ’ s response to it .
Snowden is as well .
He ’ s especially concerned about security services adding artificial intelligence to all the other surveillance tech they have .
“ They already know what you ’ re looking at on the internet , ” he said .
“ They already know where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know what your heart rate is , what your pulse is .
What happens when they start to mix these and apply artificial intelligence to it ?
” There is no disputing the severity of this pandemic , however , surrendering basic human rights and dignity to the government is essentially giving up and allowing yourself to be enslaved for the remainder of your life .

prisonplanet--2020-03-27--Prof Who Predicted 500K UK Deaths Now Says Under 20K Will Die, Peak In Two Weeks

Prof Who Predicted 500K UK Deaths Now Says Under 20K Will Die , Peak In Two Weeks Imperial College London ’ s Neil Ferguson – who originally estimated 500,000 deaths in the UK due to Coronavirus , now says that the virus will peak in just two or three weeks , and that UK deaths from the disease are now unlikely to exceed 20,000 , according to NewScientist .
The need for intensive care beds will get very close to capacity in some areas , but won ’ t be breached at a national level , said Ferguson .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the virus spreading , which take into account the properties of the virus , the reduced transmission between people asked to stay at home and the capacity of hospitals , particularly intensive care units .
–NewScientist Why the change of heart from Ferguson – who himself has contracted COVID-19 ?
Ferguson – whose ‘ Terrifying ’ research from just 10 days ago predicted 2.2 million deaths in the US and that the UK would need to be under quarantine for 18 months or more – now says that coronavirus will not overwhelm the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that over 1/2 of those it will kill would have died by the end of the year anyway because they were so old and sick .
His reasoning is that estimates of the virus ’ s transmissibility are much higher than previously thought – and that many more people have gotten it than we realize , making it less dangerous overall .
New data from the rest of Europe suggests that the outbreak is running faster than expected , said Ferguson .
As a result , epidemiologists have revised their estimate of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus .
This measure of how many other people a carrier usually infects is now believed to be just over three , he said , up from 2.5 .
“ That adds more evidence to support the more intensive social distancing measures , ” he said .
–NewScientist That said , his original model predicted this if recommended measures were implemented : Meanwhile , a report from Oxford University suggests that the UK may have already achieved herd immunity because more than 50 % of the population has likely had the virus and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government to downgrade Coronavirus from being an acute , deadly , infectious disease , as noted by Armstrong Economics .
That said , there are some issues , according to Rabobank ’ s Michael Every .
This theory is based on the assumption that the virus ’ s infection rate ( R0 ) is 2.25 , and that as it has been spreading like wildfire since January , mathematically much of the UK is likely already infected – and as they aren ’ t dead , must now be OK .
Which is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus tests done in the UK : as of 9am on 24 March , a total of 90,436 people had been tested , of which 82,359 were confirmed negative and 8,077 were confirmed positive .
In other words , 9 out of 10 patients tested are coming back negative .
If COVID-19 has spread like wildfire , and hence we are close to the much-coveted “ herd immunity ” , why are there so few positives for virus antibodies in this sample group ?
Surely it should be closer to 50-50 ?
-Rabobank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China , 3-10 % of those who have recovered from the virus still test positive afterwards .
Some have found Ferguson ’ s change of heart to be a bit unbelievable for a guy who was deathly afraid just weeks ago , and whose July 16th paper reportedly catalyzed the Trump administration into its current course of action .

prisonplanet--2020-03-27--A Massive Surge Of Unemployment Like America Has Never Seen Before

A Massive Surge Of Unemployment Like America Has Never Seen Before The pace at which Americans are losing their jobs is absolutely breathtaking .
According to the Wall Street Journal , the largest number of new claims for unemployment benefits ever recorded in a single week prior to this year was 695,000 during the week that ended October 2nd , 1982 .
So that means that what we are now witnessing is completely unprecedented .
About half the country is currently under some sort of a “ shelter-in-place ” order , and there has never been a nationwide shutdown of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experiencing .
Many are hoping that America will be able to “ get back to normal ” soon , but that all depends on the progression of this pandemic .
The number of newly confirmed cases in the U.S. spiked by more than 11,000 on Wednesday , and the number of new deaths continues to escalate at a very alarming rate .
Until those numbers start to improve , life is definitely not going to “ get back to normal ” .
In recent days , so many newly unemployed Americans have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it has been crashing websites all over the country .
For example , a newly unemployed worker in Michigan named Aaron Garza never was able to file for benefits through Michigan ’ s unemployment website although he kept on trying throughout Monday and Tuesday… Last week , 108,000 workers filed for unemployment benefits in the state of Michigan .
That is 20 times more than normal .
In Louisiana , things are even worse .
If you can believe it , the number of people filing for unemployment benefits is more than 40 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Governor Gavin Newsom says that a million residents of his state have filed for benefits “ just since March 13 ” … On Thursday , we will get the latest weekly total for the nation as a whole .
At this point nobody is quite sure what to expect , but most forecasts are ranging between one million and four million… If we even hit the lowest edge of that range , it will absolutely shatter the old record that was set back in 1982 .
Of course similar things are happening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the entire population of the globe is currently under some sort of a lockdown order , and that means that hundreds of millions of workers are sitting at home not working .
Here in the United States , so many people are already absolutely sick and tired of being idle at home , but the truth is that it looks like this pandemic is just getting started .
In fact , New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio believes that more than half of the residents of his city will eventually get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ close to accurate , that means that we are in for a very , very long battle with COVID-19 .
A lot of people out there are still trying to downplay this pandemic , and that is a huge mistake .
The dead bodies are starting to pile up just like we saw in China , Iran and Italy , and already “ New York City ’ s morgues are nearing capacity ” … You may have noticed that I have not said too much about what Congress is doing , and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is really not going to make that much of a difference .
Congress is not going to be able to make this pandemic go away , and they aren ’ t going to be able to convince people that are deathly afraid to leave their own homes to go out and spend money normally .
But thanks to Congress there will be a lot more money chasing a rapidly dwindling pool of goods and services in the days ahead , and that will eventually cause very painful inflation .
And if they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to everyone , they better keep on doing it all throughout this crisis .
Because as Gerald Celente has warned , what we are heading for is “ the Greatest Depression ” … Sadly , one element of Celente ’ s warning is already coming to pass .
It is being reported that calls to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline have risen 300 percent… In this hour , people are going to need hope .
But trying to convince them that this virus does not exist is not giving them hope .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus will magically go away very quickly are only giving people false hope .
When they later realize that they were lied to , that false hope will give way to even deeper depression and despair .
This virus is very real , and we are going to be battling this pandemic for an extended period of time .
But God knew all about this in advance , He is in control , and He will accomplish His purposes .
And God specifically has a plan for you and your family , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ embrace it .
Your future is likely to look far different than you originally imagined , but with God ’ s help it can also be far greater than you originally imagined as well .

America Is Now The COVID-19 Epicenter: The U.S. Just Had 17,224 Newly Confirmed Coronavirus Cases In A Single Day!

America Is Now The COVID-19 Epicenter : The U.S. Just Had 17,224 Newly Confirmed Coronavirus Cases In A Single Day !
As I write this article , headlines all over the globe are announcing the fact that the United States now has more confirmed coronavirus cases than anybody else in the world .
Two weeks ago anyone that would have predicted that the U.S. would be the world leader in confirmed cases by the end of the month would have been relentlessly mocked , but now it has actually happened , and experts are warning that the worst is yet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ newly confirmed cases were added to the rapidly growing U.S. total .
If you can believe it , only six other countries have had more than 17,000 total confirmed cases over the course of this entire pandemic .
So the explosion of cases that we are witnessing in the U.S. right now is exceedingly alarming .
On March 1st , we learned that the state of New York had their very first confirmed case of the coronavirus .
Now there are tens of thousands of confirmed cases in the state , and things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than one patient is being put on a single ventilator machine… What we have watched transpire in New York over the past couple of weeks is absolutely unprecedented , and a top CDC official is warning that what we have seen there could soon start happening all over the country .
Just like in New York , cases in California have been doubling “ every three to four days ” , and this has officials in the state enormously concerned… Sadly , the rate of growth is even faster in New Orleans , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be completely overwhelmed by early April… New Orleans is on track to become the next coronavirus epicenter in the United States , dimming hopes that less densely populated and warmer-climate cities would escape the worst of the pandemic , and that summer months could see it wane .
The plight of New Orleans – with the world ’ s highest growth rate in coronavirus cases – also raises fears that the city may become a powerful catalyst in spreading the virus across the south of the country .
Authorities have warned the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overwhelm its hospitals by April 4 .
But so far less than 2,000 Americans have died during this pandemic .
If our healthcare system can ’ t handle what is taking place now , what is going to happen if tens of thousands of people start dying… The coronavirus pandemic could kill more than 81,000 people in the United States in the next four months and may not subside until June , according to a data analysis done by University of Washington School of Medicine .
The number of hospitalized patients is expected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of April , though the peak may come later in some states .
Some people could continue to die of the virus as late as July , although deaths should be below epidemic levels of 10 per day by June at the latest , according to the analysis .
Actually , I think that this projection is quite optimistic , but it sure would be nice if it was accurate .
So far , there have been no signs that this global pandemic is abating .
In recent days the numbers have actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will happen if we continue to see exponential growth in the weeks ahead .
On Thursday , the total number of confirmed cases in the entire world crossed the 500,000 mark for the first time .
As we race toward a million confirmed cases , it seems likely that lockdown orders will remain in place all over the globe .
This is the greatest public health crisis of our time , and it is already taking a tremendous emotional toll on people all over the planet .
On Thursday , I was absolutely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that just happened in the United Kingdom… Sadly , calls to suicide hotlines are absolutely soaring in the United States too .
This shouldn ’ t be happening , but right now so many people out there feel like they don ’ t have any hope .
If only they understood that hope is just a prayer away .
On March 6th , a Georgia man named Clay Bentley tested positive for the coronavirus .
At first it wasn ’ t too bad , but then his symptoms really started to get quite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ couldn ’ t breathe at all ” , and he feared that “ he was not going to survive ” .
But when he was at his lowest moment , a miracle arrived… Bentley says that God completely and totally healed him , and now he has a renewed passion to tell others about Jesus Christ .
If you believe that you have caught the virus , start praying and ask others to start praying for you as well .
God is the same yesterday , today and forever , and He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ horrible pandemic .
