We are now waiting for the latest global numbers .
Update ( 1510ET ) : CDC reports that a fifth infection has been confirmed in the US ( in Arizona ) , calling the coronavirus an “ emerging public health threat , ” says threat is “ serious.
” CDC is closely monitoring an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ 2019-nCoV ” ) that was first detected in Wuhan City , Hubei Province , China and which continues to expand .
Chinese health officials have reported more than a thousand infections with 2019-nCoV in China , including outside of Hubei Province .
Infections with 2019-nCoV also are being reported in a growing number of international locations , including the United States , where 5 cases in travelers from Wuhan have been confirmed in four states ( AZ , CA , IL , WA ) as of January 26 , 2020 .
Source @ @ @ @ @ @ @ authorities were the first to post the full genome of the 2019-nCoV in GenBank El , the NIH genetic sequence database , and in the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data ( GISAID Z ) portal , an action which has facilitated detection of this virus .
On January 24 , 2020 , CDC posted in GenBank the full genome of the 2019-nCoV virus detected in the first U.S. patient from Washington state .
The virus Chinese health authorities were the first to post the full genome of the 2019-nCoV in GenBank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and in the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data ( GISAID Cl ) portal , an action which has facilitated detection of this virus .
On January 24 , 2020 , CDC posted in GenBank the full genome of the 2019-nCoV virus detected in the first U.S. patient from Washington state .
The virus genetic sequence from the patient in Washington is nearly identical to the sequences posted from China .
The available sequences suggest a likely single , recent emergence from a virus related to bat coronaviruses and the SARS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not provide any information about severity of associated illness or transmissibility of the virus .
Early on , many of the patients in the outbreak in Wuhan , China reportedly had some link to a large seafood and animal market , suggesting animal-to-person spread .
However , a growing number of patients reportedly have not had exposure to animal markets , and there is evidence that person-to-person spread is occurring .
At this time , it ’ s unclear how easily or sustainably this virus is spreading between people .
Learn what is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronaviruses .
Both MERS and SARS have been known to cause severe illness in people .
The complete clinical picture with regard to 2019-nCoV is still not fully clear .
Reported illnesses have ranged from infected people with little to no symptoms to people being severely ill and dying .
Learn more about the symptoms associated with 2019- nCoV .
There are ongoing investigations to learn more .
This is a rapidly evolving situation and information will be updated as it becomes available .
Outbreaks of novel virus infections among people are always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from these outbreaks depends on characteristics of the virus , including whether and how well it spreads between people , the severity of resulting illness , and the medical or other measures available to control the impact of the virus ( for example , vaccine or treatment medications ) .
Investigations are ongoing to learn more , but person-to-person spread of 2019-nCoV is occurring .
Chinese officials report that sustained person-to-person spread in the community is occurring in China .
Person-to-person spread in the United States has not yet been detected , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some extent .
It ’ s important to note that person-to-person spread can happen on a continuum .
Some viruses are highly contagious ( like measles ) , while other viruses are less so .
It ’ s important to know this in order to better assess the risk posed by this virus .
While CDC considers this is a very serious public health threat , based on current information , the immediate health risk from 2019-nCoV to the general American public is considered low at this time .
Nevertheless , CDC is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ getting vaccinated , taking everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs , and taking flu antivirals if prescribed .
And the poiliticking has begun… Update ( 1400ET ) : It ’ s official : The Wuhan coronavirus has arrived in America ’ s second-largest city .
The LA County Department of Public Health just confirmed what is now the fourth case discovered in the US .
As we noted earlier , California has dozens of suspected cases , many of which have been tested and cleared .
But some still remain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be the last case in Cali ( they ’ ve already confirmed 2 , this one and a case in nearby Orange County ) .
The virus has also been discovered in Illinois and Washington state .
State health officials told CBS Los Angeles that the individual recently traveled to Wuhan , and is receiving ‘ appropriate care ’ at a local hospital .
Remember when Trump said the Chinese had things ‘ under control ’ ?
Oh and one more thing before we go : The other day we joked that China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ PLA ‘ medics ’ to help stabilize the situation in Wuhan was code for placing the PLA in charge and declaring de facto martial law .
Communists – they ’ re not as full of surprises as they used to be .
Every time there ’ s a problem it ’ s ‘ send in the tanks ’ … Update ( 1240ET ) : Just as we expected , the outbreak-related news out of China went from bad to worse on Sunday , as Wuhan ’ s Mayor not only informed the public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the city to increase by a considerable margin ( as we mentioned below ) , but also that some 5 million residents of Wuhan – roughly half of the city ’ s population – had already left the city before the quarantine was fully implemented .
Some left early last week for the lunar new year holiday , while others fled after learning about Beijing ’ s plans to cut off the city from the outside world ( except for the flow of personnel and supplies needed to fight the outbreak ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Sunday will find the roads blocked and guards ordering them to turn back .
The barricade , at one of the tolls for highways exiting the city , was blocked with red and yellow plastic barriers and cones .
But that ’ s far from the only disturbing news to emerge in the past few hours .
To try and assuage citizens ’ frustration about the virus overshadowing the LNY holiday , Beijng announced an extension of the holiday .
That should take a bigger bite out of China ’ s GDP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will remain shuttered – but ideally China ’ s battered travel and tourism industry might be able to make up for some of the hit .
As we noted earlier , Suzhou , a factory hub , was the first city to announce a holiday-like shutdown of industry until Feb. 8 .
China ’ s top transportation official confirmed on Sunday that travel has plummeted for the holiday .
On Saturday , overall transportation dropped by 28.8 % from the same day last year .
Railway transportation fell by 41.5 % , roads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
After the third case was confirmed in California on Sunday , health officials in Virginia have announced that three patients suspected to have contracted the virus are under observation , according to Fox .
More alarmingly , a student at Connecticut ’ s Wesleyan University is being monitored for the virus after reporting a fever and a cough .
Though it has yet to be confirmed , this underscores the difficulty in stopping the spread of the virus to the US , as Chinese students return to their American schools for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reports .
More suspected cases have been reported in California and Texas ( though the Texas cases have mostly been cleared ) .
University officials at Wesleyan said they ’ ve been in touch with everyone that the sick student – whose name was not released – has been in contact with .
In a sign that the WHO is facing pressure to finally declare the outbreak a global health emergency ( which it declined to do last week ) , WHO Director-General Tedros said in a tweet that he was on his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with top Chinese officials and health experts about the outbreak .
Underlining the gravity of the situation , President Xi has placed his No .
2 , Premier Li Keqiang , to lead the team monitoring the coronavirus as the outbreak worsens .
On Sunday , Ma Xiaowei , China ’ s National Health Commission , revealed that the incubation period for the virus is around 10 days – though the shortest case was 1 day , and longest 14 – and , more importantly , that those who have contracted the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That wasn ’ t the case for the SARS outbreak in 2003 , and it will make the virus much more difficult to contain .
Ma added that there are signs the virus is adapting to spread even more quickly from human to human , per the SCMP .
SARS had an incubation period of 2-7 days , and was not infectious during that time .
And it still killed more than 800 people after infecting more than 8,000 around the world .
Circling back to the mad rush to leave Wuhan , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ residents , it also hosts millions more guest workers , noted CNBC ’ s Eunice Yoon .
Interestingly , as more cities declared travel bans on Sunday , Shantou , a city in Guangdong Province , overturned its decision , saying it will monitor people , vehicles and ships entering and city , but said there will be no travel restrictions on buses , ride-shares , and taxis .
Yoon speculated that the city pulled the plan after being contacted by senior party officials so as not to set a “ every-town-for-itself ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , vigilantes have apparently taken on the responsibility of guarding the perimeter .
Fortunately , few new deaths have been reported so far on Sunday .
But the count of confirmed cases had climbed to 2082 , and – as the mayor said – many more cases will likely be confirmed by Monday morning local time .
Meanwhile , the US , Russia , Thailand and South Korea are still plotting an evacuation for citizens stuck in Wuhan .
As doctors desperately search for a cure or vaccine , three Beijing hospitals designed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treating patients with a combination of anti-HIV drugs Lopinavir and Ritonavir .
The two powerful retrovirals are sold in a combination under the brand name Kaletra , which is produced by AbbVie .
Research on 41 Wuhan cases published in Friday ’ s edition of The Lancet medical journal noted that the drugs were useful in treating SARS , which was also a coronavirus , per SCMP .
CNBC ’ s Yoon shared another treatment strategy that relies on even more common medications , including Tamiflu .
Still , not enough research has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medications are effective in combating the virus .
At last check , Beijing has reported 51 cases of the virus , 49 of which remain hospitalized , while two have been cured and one remains in critical condition .
Scientists are still racing to produce a vaccine .
Hopefully , one will be found before the worst-case scenario projected by some epidemiologists becomes a reality .
Until then , looks like Abbvie will see a substantial bump in sales .
But in the meantime , maybe officials in Beijing can send some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Or they could at least send over a few truckloads of Tamiflu .
Update ( 0950ET ) : As the world is on edge with the rise of the number of officially reported coronavirus infections ( and deaths ) , the mayor of Wuhan said Sunday that he expects new cases to jump by 1,000 .
Mayor Zhou Xianwang told Reuters and other journalists in a briefing that Wuhan , the epicenter of the outbreak , could soon report an additional 1,000 new cases , which will push total cases across Mainland China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city is constructing several new hospitals to deal with infected patients .
He said the city had received new supplies of protective gear including biological suits , masks , and glasses , which have been in short supply .
If Xianwang is correct about the increase of new cases , this could mean by the end of Sunday , a total of 3,000 cases could be confirmed across the world , and suggest that Jonathan Read ’ s model of 250 thousand infected in the next several weeks could become a reality .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan following yesterday ’ s tragic death of Doctor Liang Wudong , of the ENT department of Hubei Xinhua Hospital , who died Saturday while fighting to suppress the virus .
The South China Morning Post reports that 1,350 medics ( presumably from the PLA ) have already arrived in the city , and another 1,000 are expected to arrive soon .
As the number of confirmed cases surges past 2,000 , China is scrambling to build not one , but two , SARS treatment-model hospitals in Wuhan ( remember , Wuhan is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Authorities have told the press that they expect both hospitals and their combined 2,300 beds to be operational within half a month .
Even though researchers have purportedly cast doubt on the theory that the coronavirus didn ’ t make the jump from animals to humans thanks to a shady food market that trafficking in live wild animals , officials in Beijing on Sunday banned the sale of live wild animals , including bats and snakes , at markets , supermarkets , restaurants and e-commerce platforms across the country .
But we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an ingrained cultural practice not to be criticized or stifled ?
As we reported last night ( Sunday morning in Beijing ) , health officials in Hubei Province confirmed thirteen more deaths on Saturday , while another was reported in Henan Province .
Perhaps most alarmingly , last night , we learned that a patient has reportedly succumbed to the virus in Shanghai as well .
In that case , the victim was an 88-year-old man who was suffering from preexisting health issues .
AFP adds that 40 cases have been confirmed in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ critical , one recovered , and one ( 88yo man with comorbidities ) died .
They are also investigating 95 additional suspected cases .
These weren ’ t the first deaths outside of Hubei , but , according to the New York Times , “ the death in Shanghai , which is among China ’ s most populous cities and a major commercial hub , is likely to add to anxieties about the disease ’ s spread.
” Over in the US , officials confirmed a third case of nCoV early Sunday .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ at a hospital in Orange County , Calif. , a wealthy suburban California county known for its ( relative ) conservatism .
The CDC notified health officials in the county that the patient had tested positive on Saturday , according to a statement obtained by CNN .
The individual is said to be in “ good condition ” .
State and federal officials are tracking down anybody who might have had contact with the patient , who recently traveled from Wuhan to the US .
Two previous cases were confirmed in Illinois and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its fourth case of infection , Thailand confirmed its 8th case , Hong Kong confirmed its sixth case and Macau confirmed three new cases overnight .
Paris has cancelled a Lunar New Year parade AFP reported the Shanghai cases late yesterday in the US , but the American press has , for some reason , neglected to emphasize , or even mention , this alarming factoid .
We suspect it could have something to do with the stock market .
Across China , 688 new cases of the virus were diagnosed on Saturday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concealing the true number of confirmed cases for fear of sparking ‘ social panic ’ , just like the leadership did during the SARS outbreak in 2003 ( which is what necessitated all of their promises of “ transparency ” in the first place ) .
This would also partially explain the vast discrepancies in case counts between the WHO , and media organizations like SCMP , which has consistently led the world in confirming new cases .
Regardless of the circumstances , Beijing ’ s first priority will always be ‘ maintain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cost , in lives or money .
As one twitter wit argued , it looks like the medical field is going to have to learn this lesson the hard way .
Despite all this , Pope Francis weighed in on the outbreak on Sunday , praising China ’ s efforts to contain the outbreak , and praying for the dead and the sick .
Across Asia , prices of protective facemasks have stayed elevated amid rampant price-gouging .
There were a few updates on China ’ s expanding lockdown overnight .
The eastern @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 100 million , is the latest to announce that it will suspend long-distance bus service , following similar announcements in Tianjin , Beijing and Xi ’ an .
Sunday marks the beginning of a ban on all private vehicles traveling through Wuhan as authorities expand the quarantine/lockdown , which will remain in place indefinitely until the outbreak is truly ‘ contained ’ .
Amid the lockdown , South Korea , the US , Russia , France and other governments have hatched plans to evacuate their citizens from Wuhan .
At least two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ citizens to wear face masks in public , according to Al Jazeera .
And Reuters reports that a manufacturing hub in Suzhou expects its businesses to remain closed until at least Feb. 8 , the latest reminder that when all is said and done , this outbreak will likely take a bite out of Chinese GDP ( though whether the leadership decides to publicize the true extent of the deceleration in growth remains to be seen ) .
And as Wuhan continues to suffer from a withering shortage of medical supplies , one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city has been infected with a pervasive despair .
The measure is required in the provinces of Guangdong in the south and Jiangxi in the centre , plus the eastern city of Nanjing , Ma ’ anshan city in Anhui province and Xinyang city in Henan , according to local authorities .
After Friday ’ s selloff , we imagine investors will be paying close attention to news out of Wuhan as it completely overshadows other ‘ important ’ domestic news stories , like the Dems impeachment debacle , or the fact that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ win Iowa and New Hampshire .

Analyst Says Cases of Coronavirus Probably 10 Times Higher Than Official Number Says it ’ s “ a much bigger issue than people realize.
” A health care analyst says that the number of coronavirus cases is probably ten times higher than is being reported by Chinese authorities .
Raymond James health care policy analyst Chris Meekins said that the official numbers of those killed and infected by the virus is “ really a fraction ” of those who actually have contracted the disease due to China ’ s history of underreporting public health crises .
“ Based on conversations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the U.S. government and more importantly [ in China ] is that the number that have been reported out of China on this disease are really a fraction of the number of people who have probably had the disease , ” Meekins told Yahoo Finance .
“ If China ’ s been reporting about 800 [ infections ] with 25 deaths , we think the number is probably 10 times that number in China right now because you had a number of misdiagnoses , ” he added .
Meekins said that in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bigger issue than people realize ” and that there will be a spike in cases within the United States very soon .
The official death count currently stands at 80 with 3,000 confirmed infections , although the virus has a two week incubation phase and can be spread during this period despite victims not having symptoms .
With tens of millions of Chinese citizens already under a de facto quarantine , lead researcher and dean of HKU ’ s faculty of medicine Gabriel Leung said that the outbreak “ may be about to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ substantial , draconian measures limiting population mobility should be taken immediately.

Conspiracy theorist Presidential failure Hillary Clinton declared this past weekend that she believes Facebook is conspiring to re-elect President Trump .
In an interview with Atlantic , Hillary proclaimed that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is an “ authoritarian ” who “ intend [ s ] to reelect Trump.
” As evidence , Hillary pointed to Facebook leaving up a slowed-down video of Nancy Pelosi that someone uploaded to the platform .
“ I said , ‘ Why are you guys keeping this up ?
This is blatantly false .
Your competitors have taken it down .
And their response was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make up their own minds , ' ” Clinton said , adding that “ They have , in my view , contorted themselves into making arguments about freedom of speech and censorship.
” Hillary was , knowingly or not , parroting comments made just hours earlier by Globalist influencer George Soros , who said “ Facebook will work to re-elect Trump and Trump will protect Facebook.

Ari Shaffir on Kobe Bryant’s Death: “Hollywood Liberals Enjoy Rooting For the Lakers More Than They Dislike Rape”

Ari Shaffir on Kobe Bryant ’ s Death : “ Hollywood Liberals Enjoy Rooting For the Lakers More Than They Dislike Rape ” Comedian Ari Shaffir has stoked controversy after he reacted to the death of Kobe Bryant by tweeting , “ Hollywood liberals who attack comedy enjoy rooting for the Lakers more than they dislike rape.
” Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter were among nine people tragically killed when a helicopter crashed in California in foggy weather yesterday .
While most people responded by celebrating Bryant ’ s basketball career , Shaffir took to Twitter to call out “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allegations that he raped a 19-year-old girl .
The 19-year-old hotel employee claimed Bryant raped her in the summer of 2003 but the case was later dropped after the accuser refused to testify at the trial .
Bryant apologized to the girl but said he believed the encounter to be consensual and later settled with her in a separate civil lawsuit .
“ Kobe Bryant died 23 years too late today , ” tweeted Shaffir .
“ He got away with rape because all the Hollywood liberals who attack comedy enjoy rooting for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Big ups to the hero who forgot to gas up his chopper .
I hate the Lakers .
What a great day !
# Fuckthelakers.
” In a separate video , Shaffir stated , “ A guy who got away with rape got his today , Kobe Bryant is gone !
” The comedian ’ s comments provoked the fury of others on Twitter .
“ He ’ s got 4 kids man .
It ’ s one thing to go dark if it ’ s genuinely funny , but this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ empathy do you have ?
” asked one .
“ That rape allegation never added up to anything , kinda like your shit comedy career , ” added another .
“ I ’ m a conservative , and this is too far , even for you .
I hope you never get another gig .
You ’ re a terrible person , ” tweeted another .
However , Shaffir was by no means alone in the manner of his response .
Numerous other prominent Twitter personalities and commentators reacted to Bryant ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against him .

‘ Biblical ’ Locust Plague With Mega-Swarms The Size Of Cities Descends On East Africa As if the world ’ s facing a looming new global pandemic weren ’ t enough , here ’ s yet another rare occurrence of apocalyptic proportions threatening to devastate the economy and way of life on an entire continent .
The worse outbreak of desert locusts in seventy years is ravaging East Africa — specifically Kenya as hundreds of millions have swarmed in from Somolia and Ethiopia , reports the Associated Press .
The by all accounts “ huge ” infestation is threatening to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ struggling with food security .
One news source likened it to a Biblical Locust Plague With Swarms the Size of Cities .
The invading locusts are “ deadly ” in the sense that these ‘ mega-swarms ’ devour crops at incredibly rapid pace — at a faster rate of destruction than other natural disasters .
The numbers and immediate destructive force are staggering , according to quotes in the AP : “ Even cows are wondering what is happening , ” one local farmer laments in the AP report .
“ Corn , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything.
” This as the mega-swarms consume the very fodder the livestock survive on .
There ’ s additional concern that new rains after March could bring another explosion of the fast breeding locusts prior to the dry season taking their numbers back down .
The UN Food and Agricultural Organization is reportedly mobilizing an emergency response , given even small swarms can wipe out crop fields at sizes constituting enough food that could have fed tens of thousands of people in a single day , which makes it a humanitarian disaster in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nature of their small size ( about a finger ’ s length ) and the fact that they swarm in millions at a time that make preventative measures nearly impossible .
The UN agency listed some creative but futile methods suggested and/or initiated in the past : “ Although giant nets , flamethrowers , lasers and huge vacuums have been proposed in the past , these are not in use for locust control.

Just imagine how exhausted she ’ d be if she was president of the United States .
Hillary Clinton told an audience at the Sundance Film Festival that sitting for an interview for the new documentary “ Hillary ” was “ exhausting.
” “ We did spend about 35 hours , 7 days of interviewing , and it was exhausting , ” Clinton said , “ and it was very overwhelming from time to time.

prisonplanet--2020-01-27--Jerry Falwell, Jr. says he might support ‘civil disobedience’ if Dems pass gun control

Jerry Falwell , Jr. says he might support ‘ civil disobedience ’ if Dems pass gun control Liberty University president Jerry Falwell , Jr. recently said he might call for civil disobedience in the event that Virginia Democrats are successful in passing stricter gun laws they have already proposed .
Despite thousands of protesters showing up at the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond on Friday , the Virginia House Public Safety Committee passed multiple bills restricting the use of guns and their sales .
The bills , which will now be debated in the full Virginia House , include background @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transfers , a red flag law , a bill to limit consumers ’ handgun purchases to one per month , and another that would make it a felony to leave a handgun where it could endanger a child , according to WTVR-TV .
“ I ’ m pretty sure I ’ m going to call for civil disobedience if the Democrats go through with this , ” Liberty ’ s Falwell told conservative commentator Todd Starnes earlier this month , as reported by The Christian Post .
“ You don ’ t mess @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of the state , ” Falwell said .
Falwell also told Starnes that if he calls for civil disobedience , he does not think those who would be called upon to enforce the laws would be unhappy with the disobedience : “ The hundred municipalities and jurisdictions who have passed resolutions to protect the Second Amendment , I think the police officers and the populace would not be opposed to just disobeying.
” Grayson County , Virginia Sheriff Richard Vaughan told Fox News recently that he will not enforce such measures if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jenkins said he would deputize residents if Democrats in the state pass the gun control measures .
“ They will be properly vetted through a normal process .
Everything from normal background checks that we do for other deputy sheriffs as well as psych [ evaluations ] .
It ’ s not just a blanket policy of swearing-in anyone who is interested , ” Jenkins said .
Fallwell , in his recent interview with Starnes , compared this possible approach to “ sanctuary cities in liberal states ” that “ refused to obey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immigration.
” “ I think it ’ s time for conservatives , ” Falwell said .
Among those who would support Falwell ’ s threat of civil disobedience , are Liberty students themselves .
Seth Welch is one Liberty student who is standing behind Falwell .
“ I believe that civil disobedience is a very powerful tool that citizens can use to protest unjust laws , ” Welch said in an email interview .
“ There is a lot of merit in what President Falwell is calling for , however , I believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ line is.
” Brooklyn Peach is another student at Liberty standing with Falwell and against more gun laws .
“ I think that regulating gun laws is against our constitutional right , ” Peach said in a phone interview with Campus Reform .
“ The founding fathers wrote our Constitution for us to be able to defend ourselves and I think that regulating our right to buy guns is ridiculous.
” Welch believes that not only are gun laws violating constitutional rights , but they infringe on one ’ s safety .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in , and I believe that our guns can protect us from lunatics that decide to endanger our loved ones , ” Welch said .
“ I absolutely believe that it is important for my University ’ s president to support people ’ s rights.
” Falwell is well-known for his relationship with President Donald Trump , something with which Liberty students do not seem to have a problem .

prisonplanet--2020-01-28--Furious Chinese Defy Censors To Mock Local Leaders Over Bungled Virus Response

A few hours ago , the New York Times published an interesting story about how China ’ s population , known for assiduously self-censoring their speech online , is refusing to be silent in the face of the rapidly accelerating novel coronavirus .
The deluge of critical posts , along with clever tricks to dodge censors , are making it nearly impossible for Beijing to control the narrative on the mainland .
Earlier , we mentioned how doctors , nurses and residents in Wuhan have demanded that their “ useless ” mayor follow through on an offer to resign for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ’ s not all : though reports claimed Beijing made an effort to remove horrifying videos of the situation on the ground in Wuhan ( videos that showed what appeared to be dead bodies lying in hospital hallways ) , according to NYT , the censors have now been completely overwhelmed .
Some posters evade censors by referring to President Xi as “ Trump ” , or by comparing the outbreak to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster .
Public anger over the handling of the outbreak has been compounded by the cancellation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scathing criticisms of public officials over often minor slights , like when officials in Wuhan wore their face masks incorrectly during a press conference .
After Wuhan Mayor Zhou Xianwang offered to resign over his handling of the outbreak , a commenter replied : “ If the virus is fair , then please don ’ t spare this useless person , ” according to the NYT .
After the Hubei Gov .
Wang Xiaodong delivered a news briefing on Sunday , he was brutally mocked for twice misstating the number of face masks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fight the epidemic .
A photo of the press conference that circulated online showed one of Wang ’ s partners didn ’ t cover his nose properly with the mask , inviting another torrent of derision .
However , experts cited by NYT said this torrent of criticism won ’ t go on forever .
The Communist Party doesn ’ t tolerate any criticism or challenge to its rule , and government censors are still scrambling to delete any articles , comments or posts that are too critical .
“ Chinese social media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there was no censorship on this topic , but despite strong censorship , ” said Xiao Qiang , a research scientist at the School of Information at the University of California , Berkeley , and the founder of China Digital Times , a website that monitors Chinese internet controls .
“ It is still possible that the censorship will suddenly increase again , as part of an effort to control the narrative.
” Over the weekend , President Xi and the Politburo resolved to “ strengthen the guidance of public opinion , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crackdown will go beyond deleting quack remedies and dangerous , false rumors .
It ’ s also possible that this is a Politburo strategy to focus domestic anger at local officials , scapegoating them ‘ for the good of the country , and the party.

Demand For “Prepper Properties” Is Soaring As More People Seek Refuge From The Nightmare That Is Coming To America

Demand For “ Prepper Properties ” Is Soaring As More People Seek Refuge From The Nightmare That Is Coming To America In 2017 and 2018 , most Americans were generally feeling pretty good about the future , and interest in “ prepping ” plummeted nationwide .
But now things have changed .
All of a sudden , demand for “ prepper properties ” is absolutely soaring , and this is driving up the prices of rural homes all over the nation .
In fact , in some of the hottest areas working class families have already been completely priced out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home prices in the heart of New York City have fallen to the lowest level in six years .
Many are deeply concerned about the upcoming election , and many others are alarmed by all the other crazy stuff happening all over the world , but whatever the motivation it is undeniable that an increasing number of Americans are seeking to flee the major cities right now .
There seems to be a growing consensus that our society is rapidly steamrolling toward a nightmare , and a lot of people are purchasing “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I knew that conditions were shifting , but I was stunned when I saw that even Realtor.com had posted an article about this growing trend… And Reuters just posted an article in which they discussed the fact that preppers have “ boosted rural land values ” in property markets all across the nation… That same Reuters article identified “ Idaho , Montana and Wyoming ” as three of the states with the hottest property markets .
It has gotten to the point where even some of the biggest celebrities in the country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of rural life .
For example , Kanye West and Kim Kardashian just purchased a second extremely large ranch in Wyoming .
But mostly this trend is being driven by preppers , survivalists and those that want to own an “ off-grid property ” .
The following comes from a recent NPR article… Real estate agent Theresa Mondale has been in this game for a very long time , and she has never seen the market as hot as it is right now .
In fact , some of the prepper properties that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a million dollars… Over in Idaho , real estate agent Todd Savage has also noticed a huge surge in interest in prepper properties .
He told Realtor.com that his sales are up 50 percent compared to a year ago… As we approach the 2020 election , demand is going to continue to surge , and prices are only going to go higher .
And if great chaos breaks out during the aftermath of the election , that will drive prices into the stratosphere .
We live at a time when our nation is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same time people from all walks of life are extremely concerned about where our society is heading .
In the event that things really start to fall apart , people want their families to be safe , and safety is not going to be found in the major cities .
Of course some developers are taking things to the extreme .
For example , one developer has actually transformed a former nuclear missile silo in Kansas into what he is calling “ survival condos ” … Being stuck in a highly publicized hole @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collapse may not be the best tactical situation , but apparently there is a lot of demand for these condos .
In fact , the price for a penthouse unit is a cool 4.5 million dollars… Needless to say , only the ultra-wealthy can afford such extravagant accommodations .
But everyone should be preparing in their own way .

The FBI and federal prosecutors in New York say Prince Andrew has been uncooperative with their ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein ’ s co-conspirators , according to AP , citing US Attorney Geoffrey Berman of the Southern District of New York .
In a Monday statement outside Epstein ’ s East 71st Street mansion on the Upper East side of Manhattan , Berman said that Andrew has yet to respond despite his public offer to cooperate in the investigation .
“ To date , Prince Andrew has provided zero cooperation , ” said Berman , appearing with members of nonprofit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we reported in November , attorneys for Epstein accusers have demanded Andrew ’ s participation in the investigation .
“ It ’ s great that he ’ s stepping away from his royal duties , but it ’ s really not about that — it ’ s about justice and accountability for the victims , so it ’ s important that he says he ’ s going to cooperate with law enforcement , ” said victims attorney Lisa Bloom .
Bloom said Prince Andrew should answer questions from all the accusers ’ attorneys @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Roberts Giuffre , who alleges she was coerced into having sex with Prince Andrew on three separate occasions when she was 17 .
Giuffre has offered a detailed account of a March 10 , 2001 , encounter in which she said she danced with the prince at Tramp nightclub in London before he had sex with her .
Guiffre publicly released a photograph of her and Prince Andrew in which he has his arm around her waist , which she says was taken at the house of Ghislaine Maxwell , who an ex-girlfriend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accused of acting as his “ fixer ” at the time .
–Business Insider Gloria Allred , who also represents Epstein accusers , urged the prince to provide any evidence that might help victims seek justice “ without conditions and without delay , ” including emails , texts and calendars – adding that the prince ’ s staff should also provide relevant information , according to the BBC .
Allred added that if the prince didn ’ t offer information voluntarily , he might be asked to speak under oath in a criminal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with civil lawsuits brought by Epstein ’ s accusers .
“ I haven ’ t made a determination yet as to … whether we will need to take Prince Andrew ’ s deposition , ” said Allred , adding “ But I ’ m saying he should provide it in any civil case as well , where his testimony might be relevant.

CA mayor unilaterally ends Pledge of Allegiance over ‘ disdain for Trump ’ San Anselmo Mayor Ford Greene doesn ’ t care for President Trump , so he made the unilateral decision to ditch the Pledge of Allegiance before city council meetings as a demonstration of defiance .
Greene didn ’ t tell any fellow council members about the change , and it was about five minutes into the first meeting of 2020 before anyone noticed there was no pledge .
“ Did we not pledge allegiance to the flag tonight ?
” Councilman Brian Colbert asked Greene at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Marin Independent Journal .
“ No we didn ’ t , ” Greene said .
“ As mayor I made the decision not to proceed with the saying of the Pledge of Allegiance .
That was a decision I made.
” Greene explained that his decision “ is intended to demonstrate his continuing disdain for President Donald Trump , ” the same man who inspired him to take a knee during the pledge at an October 2017 event and every meeting and event since .
For 2020 , he decided to join other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pledge entirely , the Journal reports .
“ For my taste , it ’ s a little too rote an action .
It smacks too much of mindless obedience in a time when independent thinking and independent municipal action is at a premium because there is so little happening on a federal level .
“ Over the course of the last two years , as I ’ ve been taking a knee , I turn around and look at everybody , ” he said .
“ People ’ s hearts don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They ’ re just doing something out of custom .
What ’ s the point ?
” Greene ’ s fellow council members think his excuses are baloney and demanded to have a public discussion about the move .
Greene ’ s decision to take a knee during the pledge in 2017 drew media attention and created an opportunity for him to talk about how much he hates President Trump .
Greene also offered a list of grievances at the time , though none of his fellow council members bothered to ask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I can ’ t stand the destruction that Donald Trump is wreaking on our country , ” Green , a criminal defense attorney , told KPIX in 2017 .
Greene said he opposes Trump ’ s tax reform , travel ban , “ eliminating net neutrality , ” and “ his use of the office of the presidency for his own personal selfish business gains , ” among other things .
Greene took a knee for every pledge for two months before a newspaper reporter asked him what his deal was .
Fellow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cared about Greene ’ s grandstanding , but several told the Journal the mayor crossed the line when he trashed the pledge .
Colbert said he believes “ the community is going to want the Pledge of Allegiance without a doubt.
” “ I think Ford handled it about as poorly as it could be handled , ” he said .
“ He apparently tried to sneak through removing the Pledge of Allegiance .
It wasn ’ t brought up for council discussion , and I ’ m not aware of any broad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
That ’ s not the way you handle these things.
” “ My father is a veteran , ” Colbert said .
“ I respect all the men and women that have served our country in the military .
I always take time whenever I see someone who has been the service to say , ‘ Thank you for your service , thank you for your sacrifice.
’ ” Councilman Burdo said “ to make the decision on behalf of all the council members and residents of San Anselmo that made it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something different to everybody , ” Burdo told the Journal .
“ People who have served in the military or law enforcement see it very differently.
” Council John Wright also told the Journal “ I don ’ t believe this should be the mayor ’ s decision alone.
” All of the city council members except Councilwoman Alexis Fineman voted to schedule a discussion about the pledge removal for the council ’ s Feb. 11 meeting .

prisonplanet--2020-01-28--Could We Be Heading Back Towards A Gold Standard?

Could We Be Heading Back Towards A Gold Standard ?
For anyone following the gold industry , a significant development that many in the finance industry may not be paying close attention to is the emergence of Judy Shelton within the Federal Reserve .
President Trump recently nominated Judy Shelton and Christopher Waller to fill the two vacancies on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors .
If confirmed , Mrs. Shelton has publicly advocated for lower rates and also the reintroduction of a gold standard .
The president has openly criticized Fed Chairman Jerome Powell about not lowering interest rates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fed chair expires in February 2022 This is a very interesting development because one can only assume if Trump is reelected , he could potentially appoint Mrs. Shelton as the next chairman .
Which logically , makes a lot of sense as Trump continues his hard negotiation with China on fair trade .
With the insanity of negative interest rates starting to come to fruition across many economies , naturally , the reintroduction of gold into monetary policy does not seem unreasonable .
The primary objective of money is typically to be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but also a store of value .
Gold has been doing this for thousands of years as Judy understands : “ Forget hawks and doves – this job needs a woodpecker , someone who ’ ll hammer away at the importance of stable money .
The goal : not a strong dollar or a weak dollar , but a dependable dollar , ” she wrote in an October 2017 opinion piece in the Journal .
“ The Fed should focus on stable money as a key factor in economic performance .
Given @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s biggest currency manipulators , it ’ s imperative that the next chairman prioritize the integrity of the dollar.
” Secondly , President Trump understands the gold market and its importance of it being a stabilizer in turbulent economic times .
He has publicly tweeted ( see below ) about gold which can confirm these claims : Economically , maybe Trump assumes normalized interest rates are not coming back due to the endless money printing that took place after 2008 .
The world of negative yielding debt is beginning to be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ globally and one of the only things to hedge this debasement is of course , gold .
Shelton warned in 2019 : There continues to be record central bank gold buying , negative interest rates around the world , unprecedented public and private debt and an economic setting where there are deep trade disputes ( China and U.S phase one deal is not a resolution to the trade war ) to go alongside geopolitical tensions which clearly signifies that the world is in unchartered waters .
In these uncharted waters look for governments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ form of money , gold .

UK Schools Warned to Watch Out For “ Xenophobia ” as Coronavirus Spreads The UK Boarding Schools ’ Association is more concerned about mean words on the Internet than the outbreak of the coronavirus , warning its students that any expressions of “ xenophobia ” against Chinese people will not be tolerated .
Despite the fact that there have been no such recorded instances of “ xenophobia ” by the Association , it “ issued new instructions that its members should be watchful for prejudice against Chinese pupils by others , be it online or in person.
” Schools were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signs of xenophobia by students towards one another , or by any external audiences , either in school or on social media sites.
” “ Such behaviour should not be tolerated and action should be taken against anyone acting in this way , ” said the Association , despite its spokesperson admitting , “ We have not heard of anything happening in our schools.
” Thank God courageous school authorities have their finger on the pulse amidst a rapidly spreading potential pandemic and have faced up to the real threat it poses to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spaces ; That threat being that someone might get offended .
“ What does it say about the West that our “ authorities ” appear to be more concerned with stopping the spread of “ xenophobia ” than stopping the spread of a global pandemic which could kill millions ?
” asked Chris Menahan .
Despite China banning sales of bizarre “ food ” at animal markets across the country , including bat and snake , and despite experts linking the markets with the outbreak of the virus , progressive media outlets have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chinese people ’ s bizarre and dangerous eating habits as racist .
A typical response is the above , from David Farrier , who tweeted , “ had a few people tell me now that the coronavirus is due to people eating whole bats in soup .

Employers Told to Crack Down on Sports Banter as It Excludes Women , Is ‘ Gateway to Laddish Behaviour ’ Companies need to moderate office chat to stop men talking about sports because such conservations exclude women and are a “ gateway ” to “ laddish behaviour ” , the head of a professional institution said on the BBC .
