Prominent Professors in UK Start Developing Own Theories About COVID-19 – Press Stars ‘Naming & Shaming’ Campaign

One of the most effective tools in the arsenal of any MSM hack is to brand information questioning or contradicting the official narrative as a dangerous ‘ conspiracy theory ’ .
Keep in mind , many of the same writers who accused Zero Hedge of promoting ‘ conspiracy theories ’ about a possible connection between the novel coronavirus and a nearby bioweapons lab – contributing to a permanent suspension from Twitter , a social media org which purports to be a ‘ marketplace of ideas ’ free of political bias – shamelessly promoted the false ‘ Trump-Russia ’ conspiracy for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most notorious publishers of Trump ‘ Piss Tape ’ fictions in a transparent play for clicks .
But was that a ‘ conspiracy theory ’ , too ?
We ’ ve yet to hear an answer .
But by far the most sensitive topic for contemporary ‘ conspiracy theories ’ is the novel coronavirus and its origins .
As researchers and scientists bandy about ideas and test out different theories , many in the British press apparently now see these activities as threats to the public welfare , and are now moving to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of promoting ‘ conspiracy theories ’ – lest they poison the minds of the next generation of Britons .
The Times of London reports that “ prominent British academics ” have been “ promoting ” dangerous conspiracy theories via their social media accounts , where several professors have been accused of sharing content suggesting that the virus was developed as a bioweapon , or that various parties , from the WEF to Bill Gates , are trying to exploit the situation for their own gain .
Again , those sound more like ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ digress… Anyway , the rogue academics discussed in the report include Tim Hayward , a professor of environmental political theory at the University of Edinburgh , and Piers Robinson , co-founder of the Organisation for Propaganda Studies – referred to as the ‘ OPS ’ throughout the story – which is apparently affiliated with the University of Bristol ( It uses a UoB address ) .
Another academic mentioned is Mark Crispin Miller , a professor at NYU who has written that the coronavirus “ may be an artificially created bioweapon.
” Via @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men , and affiliates mentioned in the story who are part of their academic networks , have shared conspiracies including suggesting that the virus was engineered in a bioweapons lab , claiming that the WEF , Bill Gates and other members of the global ‘ elite ’ are trying to manipulate the situation for private gain .
At one point , Dr. Robinson , who has 12,000 followers on Twitter , according to the Times ( we didn ’ t check because we don ’ t really care ) , retweeted the blogger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had links to Imperial College – the researchers whose initial extremely dire projections inspired HMG to act – and questioned : “ Is UK government working for Bill Gates ?
” Meanwhile , as officials in the US dramatically revise down their projections , and the State of New York , after insisting for days that it wouldn ’ t have enough ventilators and that President Trump would have blood on his hands , says it will have enough for ‘ the peak ’ , one professor questioned the ‘ hype ’ surrounding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ OPS tweeted a YouTube interview last week headlined “ Is Coronavirus The New 9/11 ?
” , where Dr Robinson said it was now obvious the official story of the World Trade Centre attacks was incorrect .
“ The question is who was involved in influencing , arranging , and which states , including from within the US political system .
And if that ’ s the case with 9/11 it ’ s perfectly possible that there are actors at play in relation to this .
Some people have talked about bioweapons.

Of course , as many have explained , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all that .
But these academics involvement with ‘ conspiracy theories ’ and ‘ propaganda ’ stretches back to before the virus ’ s emergence late last year .
The Times claimed that Professor Hayward , Dr Robinson , Professor David Miller and Ms Beeley are all members of an academic working group on Syria that was challenging western claims that President Assad used chemical weapons on his own people .

The group has also spread ‘ conspiracy theories ’ about undisclosed government involvement in 9/11 , and the UN ‘ White Helmets ’ working in Syria had committed mass murder to try and frame Assad .
To be sure , it ’ s not that we believe every single one of these theories .
But as one professor explained in a statement to the Times , we ’ re currently living through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grasp what is happening , people need to question official narratives ( remember when several governors and others assured the American public toilet paper would be back in stock within days ? )
embrace outside-the-box thinking , and accept that , if this crisis has taught us anything , it ’ s that the public ’ s perception of the truth has been very much in flux , and that the truth is often more complicated than it seems , or what the media would like consumers to believe .
Scientists and researchers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus , and initial conclusions on the virus ’ s characteristics and what constitutes an effective deterrent have been revised , sometimes repeatedly .

weareanonymous--2020-04-11--Bill Gates Says “Mass Gatherings” May Not Return Without Global Vaccine

A recurring theme among conspiracy theorists is that the elite are just waiting for the right moment to roll out their ‘ mark of the beast ’ technology to remotely identify and control every single human being on the planet , thus sealing their plans for a one world government .
And with many people willing to do just about anything to get back to some sense of normalcy , those fears appear more justified with each passing day .
In the Book of Revelation [ 13:16-17 ] , there is a passage that has attracted the imagination of believers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perhaps never more so than right now : “ And he causeth all , both small and great , rich and poor , free and bond , to receive a mark in their right hand , or in their foreheads : And that no man might buy or sell , save he that had the mark… ” Was John of Patmos history ’ s first conspiracy theorist , or are we merely indulging ourselves today with a case of self-fulfilling prophecy ?
Whatever the case may be , many people would probably have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ID code even if it had never been mentioned in Holy Scripture .
But that certainly has not stopped Microsoft founder Bill Gates , who has been warning about a global pandemic for years , from pushing such controversial technologies on all of us .
In September 2019 , just three months before the coronavirus first appeared in China , ID2020 , a San Francisco-based biometric company that counts Microsoft as one of its founding members , quietly announced it was undertaking a new project that involves the “ exploration of multiple biometric @ @ @ @ @ @ @ based on “ infant immunization ” and only uses the “ most successful approaches ” .
For anyone who may be wondering what one of those “ most successful approaches ” might look like , consider the following top contender for the contract .
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) have developed what is essentially a hi-tech ‘ tattoo ’ that stores data in invisible dye under the skin .
The ‘ mark ’ would be delivered together with a vaccine , most likely administered by Gavi , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the umbrella of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation .
“ The researchers showed that their new dye , which consists of nanocrystals called quantum dots… emits near-infrared light that can be detected by a specially equipped smartphone , ” MIT News reported .
And if the reader scrolls to the very bottom of the article , he will find that this study was funded first and foremost by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
Today , with the global service economy shut down to prevent large groups of infectious humans from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a day when people are required to have their infrared ID ‘ tattoo ’ scanned in order to be granted access to any number of public venues .
And from there , it requires little stretch of the imagination to see this same tracking nanotechnology being applied broadly across the global economy , where it could be used to eliminate the use of dirty money .
After all , if reusable bags are being outlawed over the coronavirus panic-demic , why should reusable cash get special treatment ?
Writing earlier this month in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ provided a compelling argument that the coronavirus , which is driving the world towards a New Great Depression , is “ being used as cover for the advent of a new , digital financial system , complete with a forced vaccine cum nanochip creating a full , individual , digital identity .
As one possible future scenario , Escobar imagined “ clusters of smart cities linked by AI , with people monitored full time and duly micro-chipped doing what they need with a unified digital currency… ” Those fears took on greater significance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weekend for a breathtaking interview with CBS This Morning .
Gates told host Anthony Mason that mass gatherings might have to be prohibited in the age of coronavirus unless and until a wide scale vaccination program is enacted .
“ What does ‘ opening up ’ look like , ” Gates asked rhetorically before essentially changing the entire social and cultural makeup of the United States in one fell swoop .
“ Which activities , like schools , have such benefit and can be done in a way that the risk of transmission @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , like mass gatherings , maybe , in a certain sense more optional .
And so until you ’ re widely vaccinated those [ activities ] may not come back at all ” [ The interview can be watched in its entirety here ] .
According to Gates , anything that could be defined as a “ mass gathering ” – from spectators packed into a stadium for a sporting event , to protesters out on the street in demonstration – would be considered an act of civil disobedience without a vaccine .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of “ mass gathering ” to snag all of us , for what is modern democratic society if not one big mass event after another ?
Indeed , since nobody will want to miss the next big happening , like the Super Bowl , or Comic-Con , or , heaven forbid , Eurovision , millions of people would predictably line up for miles to get their Microsoft-supported inoculation , even if it contains tracking technologies .
All of this seems like sheer madness when it is remembered that there are other options for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine regime .
Just last month , Dr. Anthony Fauci , the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director , told a Senate Subcommittee that over 80 percent of the people who get infected by the coronavirus “ spontaneously recover ” without any medical intervention .
This makes one wonder why the global lockdown was designed for everyone instead of just the sick and elderly .
Meanwhile , the drug hydroxychloroquine , which has been downplayed in the media despite being named as the most effective coronavirus treatment among physicians in a major survey , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Just this week , following Nevada ’ s lead , Michigan just reversed course and is now the second democratic state to request the anti-malarial drug from the Trump administration .
So now it looks as though we are off to the races to see what will become the approved method of fighting the global pandemic – a hastily developed vaccine that may actually worsen the effects of the disease in those who contract it , or the already proven inexpensive drug hydroxychloroquine .
If the winner turns out to be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ID nanotechnology , don ’ t expect the wealthy to be lining up with their kids to be the first to get it .
In 2015 , The American Journal of Public Heath surveyed some 6,200 schools in California – the epicenter of biometric ID research – and found vaccine exemptions were twice as common among kindergartners enrolled in private institutions .
It seems that the elite are betting heavily on the development of an ID-tracking vaccine that would bring all races and institutions together under one big happy roof , but clearly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fenced-off neighborhood in this one world government .
Whether or not they will get a ‘ special pass ’ from receiving the new-age mark is another question .

weareanonymous--2020-03-14--Mass Graves for Coronavirus Victims in Iran Can Be Seen From Space

Since the first cases of CoViD-19 were confirmed in Iran , there has been a great deal of confusion about how many deaths the illness has caused and how many cases there are throughout the country .
The official tally in Iran is 430 deaths with just over 10,000 confirmed cases .
However , posts made on social media and reports from citizens in Iran tell a different story .
A disturbing report published in the Washington Post this week has revealed that mass graves have recently been dug in Iran .
The mass graves are so large that they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clearly much larger than would be needed for a few hundred people .
Satellite imagery that was provided to the New York Times by Maxar Technologies , a Colorado-based space technology company , showed that a large unused section of a cemetery in the Behesht-e Masoumeh complex was being excavated around February 21 , when the virus was beginning to grow out of control in the region .
The cemetery is located in Qom , which is about 80 miles south of Tehran , and the major epicenter for the virus in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ October showed no activity at the site until mid-February when the large excavation project began .
Later images showed two large trenches which were each at least 100 yards long .
There were also indications that large piles of lime were next to the trenches , which is usually used to neutralize odors that come along with mass graves .
The use of lime in the graves was also confirmed by Iranian health officials , according to the Post .
The content of the satellite photos was verified by expert analysis , video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and people familiar with the project .
It is also disturbing that these trenches were clearly dug in a hurry , showing a departure from traditional burial practices , leading many experts to believe that these are desperate times for Iran .
The findings confirm previous allegations from Iranian citizens that the death toll was far higher than the government was willing to admit .
At the beginning of the outbreak in the country , a man was arrested for filming dozens of bodies inside of a morgue , likely on their way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ satellite photos .

The cemetery is located in Qom, which is about 80 miles south of Tehran, and the major epicenter for the virus in the country. Satellite images dating back to October showed no activity at the site until mid-February when the large excavation project began.
Later images showed two large trenches which were each at least 100 yards long. There were also indications that large piles of lime were next to the trenches, which is usually used to neutralize odors that come along with mass graves. The use of lime in the graves was also confirmed by Iranian health officials, according to the Post.
The content of the satellite photos was verified by expert analysis, video testimony, and official statements from eye-witnesses and people familiar with the project. It is also disturbing that these trenches were clearly dug in a hurry, showing a departure from traditional burial practices, leading many experts to believe that these are desperate times for Iran.
The findings confirm previous allegations from Iranian citizens that the death toll was far higher than the government was willing to admit. At the beginning of the outbreak in the country, a man was arrested for filming dozens of bodies inside of a morgue, likely on their way to the mass graves seen in the satellite photos.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro tested negative for coronavirus in a tweet published minutes ago on his official twitter .
According to a Tweet from Bolsonaro ’ s official twitter account , he has tested negative for Coronavirus .
As the news spread , Eduardo Bolsonaro accused the media of spreading “ too much lies and little information.
” The younger Bolsonaro did not outright deny the report , but said that the examinations were not yet completed .
Being prepared is not synonymous with hoarding .
The novel human coronavirus has reached all corners of the Earth .
Some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some of us knew it would .
And while some people in the U.S. remain resolute that COVID-19 is no worse than influenza , others are preparing for a doomsday pandemic .
While rushing to the store to buy six months worth of supplies and hunkering down in your basement is likely overkill at this point , having a potential global pandemic on the horizon is as good time as any to consider your level emergency preparedness .
While the term emergency preparedness may evoke images of wacky “ preppers ” for some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go over the top to be prepared .
In fact , being prepared should be the smart and normal course of action for American families who have the means to do so .
Being prepared is not synonymous with hoarding .
According to YouGov , in 2018 , prior to outbreak of the novel coronavirus which began in Wuhan , China , 75 percent of Americans were worried about the possibility of a natural disaster , a terror attack , or a host of other serious incidents that may affect the communities in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their concern very few of them reported being prepared for any of these things .
In fact , 41 percent of respondents say they are not prepared for a natural disaster and only 39 percent say they have an emergency kit on hand .
Only 39 percent of respondents reported having a stock of non-perishable food and only 28 percent said they have a supply of potable water .
Do you have an emergency kit or a supply of shelf stable food ?
What about water ?
If not , right now might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up your supplies as social media is clearly showing that pandemic panic has set in across the United States , but if you play your cards right you can still snatch up a few essentials that you should always have on hand in case of emergency .
Many of these people are likely buying above and beyond the necessary items ( like the guy mentioned in the tweet below ) , but if you ’ re willing to brave the crowds and encounter some empty store shelves in the process we have some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stock up on , whether or not there is a potentially deadly pandemic at your doorstep .
Epidemics , pandemics , natural disasters , power outages , and more have an ability to interrupt our normal daily lives .
When these things last long or impact the greater world economy , as the novel coronavirus is , we have the potential to feel a significant impact , sometimes long after—picture the tsunami after an earthquake—even if the initial thing isn ’ t directly affecting you .
We should prepare ahead of time for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ especially for this particular pandemic , so that we don ’ t add to the inevitable panic , so we don ’ t find ourselves in crowds of people were sickness can spread , and so we are at our best and calm and therefore able to assist others in our communities that may need assistance .
You ’ re preparing , that means the emergency or disaster isn ’ t here yet .
So stay calm and think clearly .
Grab a piece of paper and start building your emergency preparedness plan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you want to have enough food for one week or one month ?
How many people are in your family ?
In the event of a loss of power or gas will you have a way to cook food ?
Does anyone in your household take medications that can not be skipped ?
The answers to these questions and more will help you navigate what is most important for your household and will help you build a list of exactly what you need .
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security suggests keeping enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your household on hand for a minimum of 72 hours but you may choose to extend that further by a week , two weeks , or more .
Factors may depend on the size of your family , where you live , and the kind of emergency situations you may face .
Emergency meal kits can be purchased at stores like Costco , REI , and other online retailers that specialize in emergency preparedness .
The kits come in varying sizes based on number of people and length of time .
However , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have them on hand before you need them .
A lot of people have gained first hand experience with this recently when they found absolutely no meal kit results when searching Costco ’ s website .
The kits can be nice because they take the guesswork out of building your emergency food supply and they are designed to not take up a lot of space but those who purchase them and don ’ t end up using them run into challenges when the things inside expire or when your family has dietary restrictions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get your hands on a food kit or don ’ t want to , here are some tips on what to collect individually .
The exact amount will depend on the plan that you came up with .
Look for non-perishable and shelf stable items that your family is somewhat used to eating but that doesn ’ t need a lot of extra ingredients or materials to prepare .
You should have a mix of things that need to be cooked and things that don ’ t .
In some cases you may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not have access to it at all .
If this is the case , an emergency supply of only food that requires cooking won ’ t get you too far .
Pasta and sauce , canned and dried beans , canned vegetables , canned soups , oatmeal , shelf stable milks , along with snacks like granola bars , nuts , and dried fruits are a great place to start .
And don ’ t forget about pet food if that applies to you .
• Store your food in a cool , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Storage food in a hard-sided container is ideal especially if you ’ re keeping it in an attic or a basement .
You don ’ t want pests to get to it before you do .
• Check your kit every 6-months or so .
During this time look for anything that might be damaged and pull it out .
Look for expired foods or foods that will expire in the next six months .
Use those items soon rather than throwing them away and make sure to replace anything you removed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Has your household size changed ?
Is there a new dietary restriction or allergy you need to take into account ?
It is recommended to store one gallon of water a day for each person in your household .
This means a family of four with a 72-hour emergency kit should have 12 gallons of potable water in storage .
Bottled water flies off store shelves when communities are faced with illness , natural disaster , or impending inclement weather .
However , unless you ’ ve been hiding under a rock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ water is no better than your tap water and some of it is actually worse because it is stored in thin plastic .
When faced with an emergency some water is better than none , but consider the kind of water you ’ re storing and the source if you ’ re building a kit in advance of an emergency .
It ’ s great if you already filter your tap water but in the event that the water stops flowing , having filtration systems won ’ t do a darn thing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ varying sizes can be ordered online .

An Essential Guide to Emergency Preparedness
Being prepared is not synonymous with hoarding.
The novel human coronavirus has reached all corners of the Earth. Some of us thought it wouldn’t and some of us knew it would. And while some people in the U.S. remain resolute that COVID-19 is no worse than influenza, others are preparing for a doomsday pandemic.
While rushing to the store to buy six months worth of supplies and hunkering down in your basement is likely overkill at this point, having a potential global pandemic on the horizon is as good time as any to consider your level emergency preparedness.

I live in the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in Washington State. My advice for those elsewhere – go to Costco now. Thousands of people at local stores yesterday – not where you want to be if there is a virus spreading. Glad I went a week ago. — Brian K (@briankSEA) March 1, 2020
Costco stores are flooded with customers buying health care items in bulk as fears of the coronavirus outbreak spread across the U.S. pic.twitter.com/3bcihAZAfL — NowThis (@nowthisnews) March 1, 2020
Many of these people are likely buying above and beyond the necessary items (like the guy mentioned in the tweet below), but if you’re willing to brave the crowds and encounter some empty store shelves in the process we have some suggestions on what is most important to stock up on, whether or not there is a potentially deadly pandemic at your doorstep.
I was sent to a Costco to see if people are stocking up (even though health officials say it’s not necessary) in case COVID-19 gets more serious here.

Epidemics, pandemics, natural disasters, power outages, and more have an ability to interrupt our normal daily lives. When these things last long or impact the greater world economy, as the novel coronavirus is, we have the potential to feel a significant impact, sometimes long after—picture the tsunami after an earthquake—even if the initial thing isn’t directly affecting you.
We should prepare ahead of time for any one of these things, but especially for this particular pandemic, so that we don’t add to the inevitable panic, so we don’t find ourselves in crowds of people were sickness can spread, and so we are at our best and calm and therefore able to assist others in our communities that may need assistance.
Step 1: Don’t Panic, Have a Plan
You’re preparing, that means the emergency or disaster isn’t here yet. So stay calm and think clearly. Grab a piece of paper and start building your emergency preparedness plan. What is your goal? Do you want to have enough food for one week or one month? How many people are in your family? In the event of a loss of power or gas will you have a way to cook food? Does anyone in your household take medications that cannot be skipped? The answers to these questions and more will help you navigate what is most important for your household and will help you build a list of exactly what you need.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security suggests keeping enough food and water for all members of your household on hand for a minimum of 72 hours but you may choose to extend that further by a week, two weeks, or more. Factors may depend on the size of your family, where you live, and the kind of emergency situations you may face.
Food:
Emergency meal kits can be purchased at stores like Costco, REI, and other online retailers that specialize in emergency preparedness. The kits come in varying sizes based on number of people and length of time. However, the purpose of these kids is to have them on hand before you need them. A lot of people have gained first hand experience with this recently when they found absolutely no meal kit results when searching Costco’s website. The kits can be nice because they take the guesswork out of building your emergency food supply and they are designed to not take up a lot of space but those who purchase them and don’t end up using them run into challenges when the things inside expire or when your family has dietary restrictions.
If you can’t currently get your hands on a food kit or don’t want to, here are some tips on what to collect individually. The exact amount will depend on the plan that you came up with.
Look for non-perishable and shelf stable items that your family is somewhat used to eating but that doesn’t need a lot of extra ingredients or materials to prepare. You should have a mix of things that need to be cooked and things that don’t. In some cases you may be short on water and fuel or not have access to it at all. If this is the case, an emergency supply of only food that requires cooking won’t get you too far. Pasta and sauce, canned and dried beans, canned vegetables, canned soups, oatmeal, shelf stable milks, along with snacks like granola bars, nuts, and dried fruits are a great place to start. And don’t forget about pet food if that applies to you.
Store your food in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight. Storage food in a hard-sided container is ideal especially if you’re keeping it in an attic or a basement. You don’t want pests to get to it before you do.
Check your kit every 6-months or so. During this time look for anything that might be damaged and pull it out. Look for expired foods or foods that will expire in the next six months. Use those items soon rather than throwing them away and make sure to replace anything you removed.
Reevaluate your kit every year. Has your household size changed? Is there a new dietary restriction or allergy you need to take into account?
Water:
It is recommended to store one gallon of water a day for each person in your household. This means a family of four with a 72-hour emergency kit should have 12 gallons of potable water in storage.
Bottled water flies off store shelves when communities are faced with illness, natural disaster, or impending inclement weather. However, unless you’ve been hiding under a rock you should be aware that most bottled water is no better than your tap water and some of it is actually worse because it is stored in thin plastic. When faced with an emergency some water is better than none, but consider the kind of water you’re storing and the source if you’re building a kit in advance of an emergency.
It’s great if you already filter your tap water but in the event that the water stops flowing, having filtration systems won’t do a darn thing to help you.
Water storage containers in varying sizes can be ordered online. Some, like WaterBricks, can be stacked for storage because water really can occupy a lot of space. Many of the containers out there are made of thick, blue plastic. Thick, colored plastic doesn’t let UV rays in and the blue color signals that there is water inside. In the filling process it is important to keep the area and your hands clean so that the water stays safe. Water won’t expire but some people like to swap it out every once in a while, though this isn’t necessary. If you’re storing your water in a basement, make sure it isn’t directly on a concrete floor.
Don’t forget to store water for your pets, too.
Medications and First Aid:
If someone in your household requires prescription medication find out how much you can secure ahead of time. Unfortunately this isn’t always easy when dealing with insurance companies in the United States and some medications don’t have a long shelf life anyway. When you have advance notice that something may impact your ability to get medications—like a big storm or a pandemic—contact your doctor and your pharmacy and find out if you can get approval to have some extra medication.
Keep a list of medications and pharmacies for those in your household in your emergency kit. Find out if there are over the counter items available to use in lieu of any of these medications in the event of an emergency and keep those items in your emergency kit. Skipping prescription medications and using something else is never ideal and is not something that should be taken lightly but in the event that it is literally impossible to get your medications, having some sort of back up, if available, is better than nothing.
Keep a first aid kit stocked. The essentials include a manual to help you tread wounds, pain reliever, bites, and other issues, tweezers, alcohol swabs, antibiotic ointment, bandages in multiples sizes, gauze pads and wrap, medical tape, elastic bandages, essential oils like lavender, colloidal silver cream and tincture, as well as instant cold packs. Add additional things specific to your household like children’s pain reliever and fever reducer, antacids, contact solution, etc.
Preventatives:
If you’re going to be eating from your emergency food kit for days and potentially rationing water during this time, your nutrition might not be at its best. And if you’re facing a potential pandemic you’re going to want your immune system to be supported. Keep a stock of all vitamins and supplements that you normally take but consider increasing your intake of things like vitamin C, elderberry syrup, and colloidal silver, depending the kind of emergency you’re facing or preparing for.
Fuel and Power:
Have extra batteries on hand and accessible for things like flashlights. And make sure you know where they are. When you need light the most is probably not when you’re going to want to be rummaging through your junk drawer. Keep flashlights in your kit but also in other places throughout your home. Back-up batteries for phones can come in handy during extended periods without electricity.
If you’re a camping enthusiast you probably have an alternative method for cooking food, like a small stove. If you need to use one remember to never do so inside your house. If you don’t already have something like this, small stoves are affordable and easily available from common brands like Coleman. Your emergency food won’t be of any use to you if it all must be cooked but your power is out, thus rendering your electric cooktop useless. Keep matches sealed in a waterproof container in your kit.
Generators come in handy but won’t be helpful if you don’t have fuel. However, as technology progresses we’re being given new options when it comes to alternative power sources. Small generators with different kinds of outlets can be charged from a wall outlet ahead of time or hooked up to a portable solar panel. Look for reliable brands like Goal Zero.
Keep your vehicle’s gas tank full when you have advanced notice that there may be an emergency situation on the horizon.
Cleaning Supplies and More:
Toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, bleach, hand sanitizers, vinegar, diapers, feminine hygiene products, along with paper plates, cups, and cutlery or a reusable mess kit (but keep in mind you may not be able to wash it).
The Department of Homeland security also recommends the following items:
Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert
Whistle to signal for help
Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape
Moist towelettes, garbage bags, and plastic ties
Wrench or pliers
Manual can opener
Local maps
Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery
Cash or traveler’s checks
Important household documents like insurance policies, identification and bank account records saved electronically or in a waterproof, portable container
Sleeping bag or warm blankets
Complete change of clothing and sturdy shoes
Fire extinguisher
Paper and pencil
Books, games, puzzles or other activities for children
Most importantly, remember not to panic. If you build up your supplies before an emergency strikes you’ll avoid the long lines and the inevitable panic. You won’t contribute to the empty shelves or the congestion at the stores and on the streets. If you’re facing an emergency as the result of a potential pandemic, staying home and out of the crowds is the best place to be and you will, because you’re prepared.
If you already are prepared, take a moment and pat yourself on the back—you’re in the minority. If you aren’t prepared, regardless of whether or not you’ve considered it in the past, don’t be discouraged. Sit down, plan your kit, and calmly get to work. It is never too early to prepare your household but it can be too late.

The Italian actor known from the Italian Mafia TV show “Gomorrah” has published a video on Facebook in which he expresses his grief and anger.
In the video you can see his dead sister Teresa († 47), who apparently died from the coronavirus. Francese says she died the day before. She was a risk patient because she had epilepsy. «I have my sister here in bed. Dead. I do not know what to do. I cannot give her the honor she deserves. »
Government is “incapable”
The rescue workers who responded to his cry for help did not have a Corona test with them the first time. His first aid would also have been of no use.
The man is now locked in the apartment with his dead sister and is waiting for an answer from the authorities. He feels let down. “I contacted all kinds of institutions,” he says in the video. He describes the government as “incapable”.
Francese released another video a few hours later. There it becomes clear that his sister was tested positive for the corona virus.

With current (March 10, 12 p.m.) 7375 cases, Italy is an absolute figure in the top 3 most affected countries and leading by far in Europa. China is still at the top with 80,738 cases. A total of 110,098 cases have been reported globally to date. 3831 people died from the corona virus. The number of unreported cases is particularly high for infections.

Rest of the world is catching up to China
The global spread is favored by the geographical proximity of countries to each other and by international air traffic. Most cases of Covid-19 occurred in the Chinese province of Hubei and in the rest of mainland China.
With a time delay, other countries around the world are currently experiencing a similarly rapid increase in infections as China one and a half months ago. With restrictive measures and the sealing off of several hundred million people, however, China managed to flatten the infection curve.
