Maybe living through war and depression strengthens the spirit .
Even with the coronavirus , we ’ re seeing survivors in their 80s , 90s , and even in their 100s .
A global pandemic is often compared to a war , both in terms of the efforts required of millions of people to overcome a deadly threat , as well as the suffering it can inflict on society .

Maybe living through war and depression strengthens the spirit. Even with the coronavirus, we’re seeing survivors in their 80s, 90s, and even in their 100s.
A global pandemic is often compared to a war, both in terms of the efforts required of millions of people to overcome a deadly threat, as well as the suffering it can inflict on society.
For the elderly, the comparison is quite appropriate: after all, while many of us are feeling the intense pressures of two months of sheltering at home, those belonging to the “Greatest Generation” faced major disruptions in their lives, ranging from spending time in the military to facing rations, displacement, and other challenges such as loved ones lost in a war, weddings placed on hold, and long-term plans being suddenly upended.
And guess what? Those who faced the tragedies and hardships of the past are still with us today, and they may have some lessons to teach us.
Lucille Ellson of Orlando, Florida, was born on Dec. 30, 1917, just as the Spanish Flu began emerging from the barracks and camps of the U.S. and European military camps of the First World War. At the ripe age of 102, she heard tales of how her uncle and father contracted the deadly flu pandemic only to survive, just in time to face the Great Depression. And that, too, she survived.
And when she was finally supposed to get married in 1942, the attack on Pearl Harbor happened. Her fiancé Floyd enlisted in the Navy to join the fight, putting her marriage on hold. But a few years later, Floyd returned home after being honorably discharged – and the two finally got married and started a family.
Ellson isn’t the only living proof that living through war and depression can strengthen the spirit. While a disproportionate amount of those lives lost to the pandemic have been elderly, many octogenarians, nonagenarians, and centennials have also survived the disease.
In March, 95-year-old Italian grandmother Alma Clara Corsini became a symbol of hope after recovering from the virus, becoming one of the oldest people in the country at the time to survive COVID-19. Her good fortune was celebrated and shared with the world by no less a figure than Pope Francis himself.

Since then, another Italian grandmother, this time 104 years old, has also beaten back coronavirus. Ada Zanusso, who was living in a nursing home in Northern Italy, had developed a high fever and shortness of breath before she tested positive for the virus. But the centenarian was able to recover with no loss of her intelligence or lucidity, according to medical staff.
Another recent example comes from the U.K., where 99-year-old Carrie Pollock recovered after a long stay in the hospital following a coronavirus infection. Pollock, who once worked in the British Special Branch, was admitted to Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth after experiencing hallucinations and suspected pneumonia. However, she has since recovered and returned back to her home, but not before inspiring the hospital staff who rescued her.
Karen Clark, a senior sister at Queen Alexandra Hospital, said:
“These are worrying times for many and to see her leaving hospital after recovering from COVID-19 gave the staff a real boost.”
Peggy’s granddaughter Jess Keeley told Portsmouth News:
“She is an absolute fighter and we are so proud that she has done so well. She is already back at home and walking to strengthen her legs again.
“She loves her talking books and loves a natter. She is an inspiration to our whole family. The hospital staff did an amazing job to care for her and nothing was too much trouble. We were able to call her when she was in isolation which was lovely.”
Rita Reynolds, a grandmother from Liverpool, also survived at 99, coming in for a tie with Pollock for the honor of being one of the oldest British survivors of the virus.
And then there’s Cornelia Ras, a 107-year-old Dutch woman whose recent birthday celebration on March 17 was followed the next by the symptoms of COVID-19. Against all expectations, Ras was able to beat back the illness and is currently “perfectly healthy.”

weareanonymous--2020-05-18--China Begins Construction Of New Biolab With Extremely Deadly SARS & MERS Viruses

As the new trade/tech/diplomatic/cultural ( in fact , everything but kinetic ) war between the US and China is heating up by the hour , one would think that China would do everything in its power to defuse one of the core accusations by the Trump administration , namely that the Wuhan Institute of Virology ( WIV ) in China was the source of the global coronavirus pandemic ( going so far as to spark unofficial demands for hundreds of billions in reparations from Beijing for its “ criminal ” actions ) , an allegation which Peter Navarro on Sunday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ seeding ” the world with the “ China virus ” : “ The Chinese behind the shield of the World Health Organization – for two months – hid the virus from the world and then sent hundreds of thousands of Chinese on aircraft to Milan , New York and around the world to seed that , ” Navarro said on ABC .
“ They could have kept it in Wuhan .
Instead it became a pandemic.
” Well , one would be wrong , because in a “ completely unexpected ” twist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth and that the WIV had nothing to do with the original viral release – on Friday , a senior Chinese official confirmed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo ’ s allegation that Beijing had told labs in the country to destroy coronavirus samples in early January .
Recall that in a May 6 press briefing , Pompeo accused China of covering up the Covid-19 outbreak as it emerged in the central city of Wuhan , saying China ’ s National Health Commission had ordered destruction of samples of the virus on Jan. 3 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ press briefing in Beijing on Friday , NHC official Liu Dengfeng confirmed that the commission had issued these guidelines at that time “ for pandemic prevention and control , which also played an important role in preventing biosafety risks.
” “ If the laboratory conditions can not meet the requirements for the safe preservation of samples , the samples should be destroyed on the spot or transferred to a professional institution for safekeeping , ” said Liu , supervisor of the commission ’ s Department of Health Science , Technology and Education .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ handling of highly pathogenic samples , he said , and we are sure that it does… but wait a gosh darned minute ?
According to Dengfeng , China is basically admitting that the coronavirus samples – which were held in China ’ s P-4 rated , top “ biosafety ” lab in Wuhan which incidentally is also where the virus was leaked from according to a mountain of circumstantial evidence – were not safe in the Wuhan lab and thus had to be destroyed ?
Considering that one of the core arguments made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ website ) is that the virus ( whether genetically engineered or otherwise ) was released ( hopefully without premeditation although there is no way of knowing for certain ) by the Wuhan lab , China ’ s actions essentially confirm that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was unsafe , and thus every last sample of the virus had to be destroyed .
Of course , the real reason why China destroyed the samples was different , and it had to do with not only destroying all the evidence but crushing any hope of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic was .
As the WSJ reported , “ Public health experts say it is likely too late to investigate the role of the market in Covid-19 ’ s spread and that proving its origin might now be impossible.
” And with China destroying the last remaining coronavirus samples , well – there goes any hope of proving or disproving that the virus emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
So with all that in mind , and with China ’ s track record in biotechnology , “ gain of function ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ containment ” destroyed , what does China do ?
Why it plans to build an entirely new biolab , only this time not in the industrial backwater of Wuhan , but in the capital itself .
According to the Global Times , China ’ s capital Beijing will build its own , P-3 rated laboratory “ to improve and explore infectious disease detection capacity ” Lei Haichao , director of Beijing Municipal Health Commission , said at a press conference on Sunday , Chinanews reported .
There is no P-3 laboratory in Beijing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only P-4 lab – which as a reminder is the highest level of biosafety precautions , and is appropriate for work with “ agents that could easily be aerosol-transmitted within the laboratory and cause severe to fatal disease in humans for which there are no available vaccines or treatments ” – remains in Wuhan .

However , the ability of Beijing laboratories to target infectious diseases needs to be explored and improved in the long term , according to Lei .
Of course , testing is just one of the many aspects that a biosafety level 3 lab does .

So after Wuhan and the whole “ coronavirus thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to look forward to ?
According to the CDC , biosafety level 3 is commonly used for research and diagnostic work involving various microbes which can be transmitted by aerosols and/or cause severe disease .
These include Francisella tularensis , Mycobacterium tuberculosis , Chlamydia psittaci , Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus , Eastern equine encephalitis virus , Coxiella burnetii , Rift Valley fever virus , Rickettsia rickettsii , several species of Brucella , chikungunya , yellow fever virus , West Nile virus , Yersinia pestis .
Oh , and the SARS coronavirus , SARS-Cov-2 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case the world really needs that second wave .

As the new trade/tech/diplomatic/cultural (in fact, everything but kinetic) war between the US and China is heating up by the hour, one would think that China would do everything in its power to defuse one of the core accusations by the Trump administration, namely that the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China was the source of the global coronavirus pandemic (going so far as to spark unofficial demands for hundreds of billions in reparations from Beijing for its “criminal” actions), an allegation which Peter Navarro on Sunday expanded when he accused China of deliberately “seeding” the world with the “China virus”:
“The Chinese behind the shield of the World Health Organization – for two months – hid the virus from the world and then sent hundreds of thousands of Chinese on aircraft to Milan, New York and around the world to seed that,” Navarro said on ABC. “They could have kept it in Wuhan. Instead it became a pandemic.”
Well, one would be wrong, because in a “completely unexpected” twist – assuming China was indeed telling the truth and that the WIV had nothing to do with the original viral release – on Friday, a senior Chinese official confirmed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s allegation that Beijing had told labs in the country to destroy coronavirus samples in early January.
Recall that in a May 6 press briefing, Pompeo accused China of covering up the Covid-19 outbreak as it emerged in the central city of Wuhan, saying China’s National Health Commission had ordered destruction of samples of the virus on Jan. 3.
Asked about those comments at a press briefing in Beijing on Friday, NHC official Liu Dengfeng confirmed that the commission had issued these guidelines at that time “for pandemic prevention and control, which also played an important role in preventing biosafety risks.”
“If the laboratory conditions cannot meet the requirements for the safe preservation of samples, the samples should be destroyed on the spot or transferred to a professional institution for safekeeping,” said Liu, supervisor of the commission’s Department of Health Science, Technology and Education.
Chinese law has clear rules for the handling of highly pathogenic samples, he said, and we are sure that it does… but wait a gosh darned minute? According to Dengfeng, China is basically admitting that the coronavirus samples – which were held in China’s P-4 rated, top “biosafety” lab in Wuhan which incidentally is also where the virus was leaked from according to a mountain of circumstantial evidence – were not safe in the Wuhan lab and thus had to be destroyed?
Considering that one of the core arguments made by the Trump administration (and this website) is that the virus (whether genetically engineered or otherwise) was released (hopefully without premeditation although there is no way of knowing for certain) by the Wuhan lab, China’s actions essentially confirm that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was unsafe, and thus every last sample of the virus had to be destroyed.
Of course, the real reason why China destroyed the samples was different, and it had to do with not only destroying all the evidence but crushing any hope of finding what the real source of the pandemic was. As the WSJ reported, “Public health experts say it is likely too late to investigate the role of the market in Covid-19’s spread and that proving its origin might now be impossible.” And with China destroying the last remaining coronavirus samples, well – there goes any hope of proving or disproving that the virus emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Just as China wanted.
So with all that in mind, and with China’s track record in biotechnology, “gain of function” experiments and reputation of deadly viral “containment” destroyed, what does China do? Why it plans to build an entirely new biolab, only this time not in the industrial backwater of Wuhan, but in the capital itself.
According to the Global Times, China’s capital Beijing will build its own, P-3 rated laboratory “to improve and explore infectious disease detection capacity” Lei Haichao, director of Beijing Municipal Health Commission, said at a press conference on Sunday, Chinanews reported.
There is no P-3 laboratory in Beijing now, while the nation’s only P-4 lab – which as a reminder is the highest level of biosafety precautions, and is appropriate for work with “agents that could easily be aerosol-transmitted within the laboratory and cause severe to fatal disease in humans for which there are no available vaccines or treatments” – remains in Wuhan.
When COVID-19 emerged, the nation’s capital had 17 facilities equipped with nucleic acid testing capabilities. Within two months, 70 institutions had added testing capabilities necessary to conduct 51,000 tests daily, Lei said.
Recently, the highest number of tests completed in one day is 30,000, indicating ample reserve capacity. However, the ability of Beijing laboratories to target infectious diseases needs to be explored and improved in the long term, according to Lei.
Of course, testing is just one of the many aspects that a biosafety level 3 lab does. According to the CDC’s “Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories” manual, P-3 labs are appropriate for work involving microbes which can cause serious and potentially lethal disease via the inhalation route. This type of work can be done in clinical, diagnostic, teaching, research, or production facilities. Here, the precautions undertaken in BSL-1 and BSL-2 labs are followed, as well as additional measures including:
All laboratory personnel are provided medical surveillance and offered relevant immunizations (where available) to reduce the risk of an accidental or unnoticed infection.
All procedures involving infectious material must be done within a biological safety cabinet.
Laboratory personnel must wear solid-front protective clothing (i.e. gowns that tie in the back). This cannot be worn outside of the laboratory and must be discarded or decontaminated after each use.
A laboratory-specific biosafety manual must be drafted which details how the laboratory will operate in compliance with all safety requirements.
In addition, the facility which houses the BSL-3 laboratory must have certain features to ensure appropriate containment. The entrance to the laboratory must be separated from areas of the building with unrestricted traffic flow. Additionally, the laboratory must be behind two sets of self-closing doors (to reduce the risk of aerosols escaping). The construction of the laboratory is such that it can be easily cleaned. Carpets are not permitted, and any seams in the floors, walls, and ceilings are sealed to allow for easy cleaning and decontamination. Additionally, windows must be sealed, and a ventilation system installed which forces air to flow from the “clean” areas of the lab to the areas where infectious agents are handled. Air from the laboratory must be filtered before it can be recirculated.
So after Wuhan and the whole “coronavirus thing”, what do Beijing residents have to look forward to?
According to the CDC, biosafety level 3 is commonly used for research and diagnostic work involving various microbes which can be transmitted by aerosols and/or cause severe disease. These include Francisella tularensis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Chlamydia psittaci, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, Eastern equine encephalitis virus, Coxiella burnetii, Rift Valley fever virus, Rickettsia rickettsii, several species of Brucella, chikungunya, yellow fever virus, West Nile virus, Yersinia pestis.
Oh, and the SARS coronavirus, SARS-Cov-2, and MERS coronavirus. Just in case the world really needs that second wave.

A bizarre twist in the murder of George Floyd was reported on Thursday night , as a former club owner in south Minneapolis revealed that Floyd worked at her club as a security guard , alongside recently fired police officer Derek Chauvin , the man who killed him .
Club owner Maya Santamaria says that the two both worked the same security shift at El Nuevo Rodeo club on Lake Street , before the business was sold a few months ago .
“ Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same time , it ’ s just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside , ” Santamaria told KSTP .
However , Santamaria said that she can ’ t be certain that Chauvin and Floyd knew each other , because often over a dozen security guards working at the club on any given night .
Still , they did work overlapping shifts , and the fact that one man ended up killing the other should justify further investigation into whether or not the two had a prior relationship .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first time in the moments before Floyd ’ s death , that could potentially mean that there was a deeper motive behind the murder .
If true , this could make the difference between a manslaughter charge or a murder charge .
As of right now , no other evidence of a prior relationship has been revealed , but this is an extremely strange coincidence , which would be cause for serious suspicion in any other circumstance .
Santamaria says that she did not realize that the men in the video were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her .
“ My friend sent me ( the video ) and said this is your guy who used to work for you and I said , ‘ It ’ s not him.
’ And then they did the closeup and that ’ s when I said , ‘ Oh my God , that ’ s him.
’ I didn ’ t recognize George as one of our security guys because he looked really different lying there like that , ” Santamaria said .
People around the country are calling for Chauvin to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far no formal charges have been filed against any of the officers involved in Floyd ’ s death .
All four of the officers who were on the scene at the time of the incident were fired from the police force , but Floyd ’ s family says that is not enough , and the city ’ s mayor agrees .
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has called for criminal charges against the police officer who killed George Floyd .
“ I ’ ve wrestled with , more than anything else over the last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Why is the man who killed George Floyd not in jail .

weareanonymous--2020-06-03--Anonymous: Donald Trump and Naomi Campbell named in Epstein ring

Anonymous has hit back along with the George Floyd protestors revealing what they call “ The Little Black Book of Jeffrey Epstein ” .
Last night , the group of cyber activists known as Anonymous launched a threat towards the US government after the death of George Floyd .
The reason given by the group is that if the government was not willing to bring justice in the case , then they would begin to expose some of the crimes that the US has been hiding .
A few hours after the Anonymous video hit the internet , the cyber @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the Jeffrey Epstein child trafficking network .
These names included Ivanka and Ivana Trump , Naomi Campbell , Chris Evans ( the English TV host , NOT the Marvel actor ) , Mick Jagger and Will Smith , just to name a few .
The list with hundreds of names on it was uploaded through a file on their social networks under the name of “ The Little Black Book of Jeffrey Epstein ” , and in it they exposed all the people who attended parties organised by Jeffrey Epstein , where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the children.
” The case of Jeffrey Epstein was so impactful that Netflix released a documentary about it .
After his guilt had been proven , the businessman is said to have taken his own life rather than spend it behind bars , although there are some who do not believe he committed suicide , but instead was murdered to prevent him from revealing information about others .
Athough names such as Ivanka and Ivana Trump appear , the group of cyber activists also launched a direct threat against the President of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ name also appeared on the aforementioned list and has been accused of raping minors .
He is also alleged to have a record on organised crime , a reason given for why he is being blackmailed by Russia , a country that has all the necessary evidence against him .
In addition , Anonymous removed the Minneapolis police website , hacked Chicago police radio to pronounce “ Fuck the Police ” , and exposed the royal family for having been involved with the Princess Diana murder .
Their message is that the police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real criminals , and so more secrets will continue to come out .

Anonymous has hit back along with the George Floyd protestors revealing what they call “The Little Black Book of Jeffrey Epstein”.
Last night, the group of cyber activists known as Anonymous launched a threat towards the US government after the death of George Floyd. The reason given by the group is that if the government was not willing to bring justice in the case, then they would begin to expose some of the crimes that the US has been hiding.
Anonymous on the offensive
A few hours after the Anonymous video hit the internet, the cyber activists exposed the relationship of renowned personalities with the Jeffrey Epstein child trafficking network. These names included Ivanka and Ivana Trump, Naomi Campbell, Chris Evans (the English TV host, NOT the Marvel actor), Mick Jagger and Will Smith, just to name a few.
Brutal la bomba de Anonymous! Normal que se cargaran a Epstein silenciosamente. Algunos de los que presuntamente están involucrados en sus correrías: Trump, Chris Evans, Alejandro Agag Aznar, Will Smith, Naomi Campbell.. https://t.co/D9OPnGneZB — elkloden (@elkloden) May 31, 2020
The list with hundreds of names on it was uploaded through a file on their social networks under the name of “The Little Black Book of Jeffrey Epstein”, and in it they exposed all the people who attended parties organised by Jeffrey Epstein, where it is said that he “recruited the children.”
The case of Jeffrey Epstein was so impactful that Netflix released a documentary about it. After his guilt had been proven, the businessman is said to have taken his own life rather than spend it behind bars, although there are some who do not believe he committed suicide, but instead was murdered to prevent him from revealing information about others.
Anonymous’s direct threat to Donald Trump
Athough names such as Ivanka and Ivana Trump appear, the group of cyber activists also launched a direct threat against the President of the United States, Donald Trump, whose name also appeared on the aforementioned list and has been accused of raping minors. He is also alleged to have a record on organised crime, a reason given for why he is being blackmailed by Russia, a country that has all the necessary evidence against him.

As rioters in Brooklyn set a police precinct ablaze, a video showing what appears to be a rookie NYPD officer forcefully throwing a defenseless young woman to the ground has gone viral, further inflaming public anger toward the police.
There was some argument about whether the young woman was moving toward or away from the officer at the time of the push, as some tried to claim that this brutal assault on an unarmed woman was somehow justified.

Video footage has emerged from the recent protests in Seattle , showing a police officer kneeling on the neck of a protester , in a very similar position to the one that killed George Floyd .
The altercation took place outside of a T-Mobile store that was being looted , and there were many bystanders to witness the police arrest someone who they suspected of being involved .
In a video taken of the arrest , one of the officers can be seen with his knee on the protester ’ s neck for about 15 seconds .
The bystanders began @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his knee from the protester ’ s neck , but he ignored them .
The onlookers continued to shout “ Get your f*cking knee off his neck ” and “ Get your knee of his neck , ” until finally , the second officer on the scene physically removed his partner ’ s knee from the protester ’ s neck .
While this is a common tactic that police use when they are subduing suspects , it isn ’ t actually an approved physical technique for any department in the US because there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and even death .
Still , police seem to think that they can handle a person any way they want if they suspect them of committing a crime .
Sadly , bystanders in this situation usually feel powerless to intervene , and in most cases trying to do so would end up in them being arrested or assaulted themselves .
In situations like this , where excessive force is being used , other officers on the scene have the most power to diffuse the situation and safely intervene .
In debates about police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few bad apples ” are responsible for this violence is often used to deflect from the systematic nature of the problem .
“ A few bad apples spoil the whole bunch , ” is the saying in its entirety , and this applies a bit better to the police problem that we face today .
One of the primary reasons that this police abuse has continued for so long is because these cops cover for each other regardless of the circumstances and they will rarely call one another out when they do something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the scene when George Floyd was murdered by Derek Chauvin , and none of them decided to intervene .
They had nearly ten minutes to save Floyd ’ s life , and all that they had to do tell their partner to take it easy , and pull him away .

George Floyd’s death has already begun to change the world in just a little over week.
Never before has there been such a large movement against police brutality, and it has now become a global phenomenon. In cases of police murder, the officers involved rarely lose their jobs or face charges, and if they do, it usually takes a long time, since police departments often do their best to cover up the transgressions of their officers.
However, this time, all of the officers have been fired and are facing charges related to the incident. The officer directly responsible for Floyd’s death is facing murder charges.
Following the initial days of the protest, Minneapolis Public Schools announced that they were terminating their contract with the local police department.
The contract was worth over $1 million dollars, and put police officers in direct contact with children and teenagers on a regular basis, leading to many unnecessary assaults and arrests. Given how widespread these protests have become, it is highly likely that other parts of the country will follow suit with similar changes.
US lawmakers are also now pushing for monumental police reforms that seek to limit legal protections for violent cops, and strip police departments of their military equipment. The measures are being introduced or supported by both Republican and Democratic lawmakers.
People are more open to the idea of police reform than ever, and it is all because the case of George Floyd was so impossible to deny, excuse, and sweep under the rug as we have seen so often with police killings. Hopefully, real change can come in the aftermath of this tragedy.
