“INTERNATIONAL PRESSURES TO HIDE THE TRUTH”
Precisely for this reason, according to the famous virologist «there is a will to hide these works. In fact, we were not the first to have worked on it. A group of very renowned Indian researchers had published the same thing but forced them to retract. Their publication has been withdrawn.

USAID PROJECT FOR WUHAN LAB TOO
Instead, it is our job to look for traces and suspicions of an “accident” that the Nobel virologist for medicine attributes good-naturedly to an error, even ethical for the combination of CoronaVirus and HIV, aimed at finding a vaccine.
Instead, the American professor Francis Boyle with other experts of bacteriological weapons and multiple clues revealed by us identify as a bio-weapon, probably used by a transversal Deep International State between China and the USA, intending to destabilize the geopolitics of these superpowers and other countries of the world.
Two months before the first outbreak erupted in Wuhan, the Trump administration had concluded a $ 200 million program aimed at training scientists in China and other countries to detect and respond to a pandemic threat. With the emergency, it was then restarted for six months with a small loan of $ 2.26 million dollars.
The project had been initiated by the U.S. Agency for International Development USAID, often operating in foreign countries for White House regime-change plans as a financial instrument of the Central Intelligence Agency, with which it also developed top secret research projects on bacteriological weapons in some of the 25 laboratories opened by the DTRA (Defense Threat Reduction Agency) controlled by the Pentagon (US Defense Department).
The initiative, called PREDICT, also trained and supported staff from 60 laboratories from around 20 foreign countries that identified 1,200 potentially dangerous viruses, including over 160 new coronaviruses. Wuhan’s also received USAID funding for the equipment, and scientists have been linked with researchers from other countries to synchronize the detection of new viruses.

It is known to anyone that, to circumvent the international UN conventions on the non-proliferation of chemical and biological weapons, the most used trick by some scientists of unscrupulous governments is to conceal military research under the “virtuous” mask of a noble cause : identify the antidote to past or even future epidemics, actually building “chimeric” viruses, so defined because they do not exist in nature, using the biochemical engineering of genome editing made possible by CRISP / Cas9, the overlock kit of genetic sequences. The one with which the “transhuman” Chinese twins born with chemically modified DNA were born …
MANY SUPERVIRUS FROM SARS AND THE EXPERIMENTS ON HIV
A “chimeric” research was conducted in 2015 on the supervirus named SHC014-MA15 in the Bsl 3 laboratories of Chapel Hill of the University of North Carolina (USA) in collaboration with two scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology including the head of the Center of Research for Emerging Infectious Diseases, Shi Zhengli and a researcher from the Department of Immunology and AIDS of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute of Harvard Medical School in Boston (Massachusetts USA), Wayne A Marasco.
This immunologist has also carried out other studies “on the SARS-like virus sequences isolated from the Chinese horseshoe bats” in which “the results indicate a significant threat posed by WIV1-CoV”. For this research, published online March 14 2016 by the Pnas (US Prot. National Academy of Science), Dr. Zhengli-Li Shi of the Wuhan Institute of Virology was thanked for accessing the sequences of CoV bats and the protein plasmid spike WIV1-CoV “. The reference is to the same large strain of CoronaVirus (initialed CoV) that originated the current pandemic called SARS-Cov-2 for genetic analogies with SARS of 2003.
«Both full-length and chimeric WIV1-CoV readily replicated efficiently in human airway cultures and in vivo, suggesting capability of direct transmission to humans. In addition, while monoclonal antibody treatments prove effective, the SARS-based Vaccine approach failed to confer protection».
Much worse were the results of the “supervirus” SHC014-MA15 experiment developed between Chapel Hill and Wuhan on the basis of previous research on the MA15 clone developed during a previous 2007 conducted on Balb / c mice, also from the biosecurity laboratories 3 of Chappel Hill of North Carolina University together with the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of Bethesda (Maryland) and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) of Atlanta (Georgia).
«Evaluation of available SARS-based immune-therapeutic and prophylactic modalities revealed poor efficacy; both monoclonal antibody and vaccine approaches failed to neutralize and protect from infection with CoVs using the novel spike protein» verified that study carried out as an exception to the moratorium on “gain of function”, the strengthening of a face such as to have a “dual use” not only for health but also for the military.
Tali «pseudotyping experiments were similar to those using an HIV-based pseudovirus, prepared as previously described10, and examined on HeLa cells (Wuhan Institute of Virology) that expressed ACE2 orthologs».
This can be read in the 2015 research text on SHC014-MA15 in reference to the experiments of the Chinese laboratory on AIDS virus, of which Professor Montagnier claims to have found traces in the current Covid-19.
It is therefore also evident a very close collaboration between the USA and China well known also to the World Health Organization which is one of the Global Partners together with FAO and CDC, the US Center of Diseases Control directed by Antony Fauci, now even obsessive in the to support the Covid-19 theory of natural origin despite the latest sensational revelations of a luminary of world medical science.

«Some say that these sequences are too short and it is a coincidence etc … But we answer immediately these lengths however they are segments that carry genetic information contrary to those who say it is a coincidence. It is not so. There is enormous pressure for everything that is at the origin of the virus to be hidden. The official version of China that the virus comes from the Wuhan fish market is not true».
CLASS-ACTIONS FOR THE BIO-WARFARE IN TEXAS AND INDIA
However, the Chinese laboratory rejected any insinuation. «We know exactly what kind of virus research is done in our institution and how the institute processes the samples. As we have been saying for a long time, this virus could never come from us. We have a strict management system, there are research regulations and things like that, so we are absolutely sure of it» Yuan Zhiming, director of the Research Unit of the Wuhan Institute, told Asian television.
However, the scientist went even further refuting the theory of a laboratory-created virus supported by the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Indian research: «Currently there are many publications in scientific journals on this topic.
Based on my knowledge of virology, if we are talking about the artificial synthesis of such a virus, there is currently no evidence that the virus was artificially created “. “If China intentionally made itself responsible for spreading the virus, it would have to pay for the consequences. But if it was a mistake, it’s different, “said US President Donald Trump in the past few days, threatening Beijing, after accusing her of hiding the data and having a real death toll far higher than the US record of 43,000 dead.
The White House has commissioned intelligence to investigate the nature of the virus while Australia has also questioned China’s transparency in managing the epidemic by calling for an international investigation into the origin of Covid-19 as they had already done. the former president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the metropolitan cardinal of Sri Lanka, Malcom Ranjith, asking for UN intervention.
«I think it’s important and we will absolutely insist on this» assured Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne in an interview with ABC. He was echoed by Republican American Senator David Hawley, who proposed a US-led international commission and asked that family members of Covid-19 victims be allowed to sue the Chinese government.
In fact, a lawsuit has already been filed. Two companies have done so, Buzz Photos of McKinney (Texas) and Freedom Watch of Washington together with the American lawyer Larry Klayman (Florida) who have sued before the Court of the North District of Texas for a class-action the People’s Republic of the China, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the aforementioned Shi Shengli research manager.
The accusation is summarized in two lines which will certainly not be easy to prove before a judge:: «The Wuhan Institute of Virology is a biological laboratory about 20 miles from the center of the city of Wuhan in China, which the Plaintiffs and members of the class and subclasses allege includes an illegal biological weapons laboratory. Major General Chen Wei of China’s PLA, at the PLA’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences, is the Chinese military’s top epidemiologist and virologist, who is not only leading China’s responses to the COVID-19 epidemic but also led the creation of the COVID-19 coronavirus as a bioweapon for China’s military».
Suspicions are confirmed by citing a specific source: «Dany Shoham, a former Israeli military intelligence officer who has studied Chinese biological warfare, said the institute is linked to Beijing’s covert bio-weapons program. China has denied having any offensive biological weapons, but a State Department report last year revealed suspicions of covert biological warfare work».
«Those, including doctors and researchers, trying to spread the word in China about the new COVID-19 disease were arrested or “disappeared”» it reads in the complaint where is cited the story of Dr. Li Wenliang from Wuhan which «finally violated Chinese censorship and raised the alarm to the outside world internationally through a chat room of his classmates on December 30, 2019», but was «summoned by authorities in China, reprimanded, and silenced» and «on February 6, 2020, Dr. Li then, not coincidentally, died of the very disease he was working to fight».
Instead, the International Council of Jurists (ICJ) and the All India Bar Association turned to the United Nations Human Rights Council seeking compensation from China for “secretly developing a biological weapon capable of mass destruction”. The complaint was made by senior lawyer Adish C. Aggarwala president of both entities. This was reported by the webmedia GreatGameIndia.
CHINA’S SCIENTISTS CENSORED
However, the aforementioned director of research at the Institute of Virology denied newspapers any “loss” of biosecurity: “It is impossible, none of the researchers got infected.” But the Beijing government in recent days has issued a provision that prohibits the dissemination of research on Covid-19 without official approval. A decision that sparked Professor Montagnier’s reproach.
«The fact of now prohibiting publications on the origin of the coronavirus without the visa of the Chinese government authorities is an aberration and above all gives the idea that science does not depend on the truth of things but on the will of people. This is very, very negative for the reputation of science. Nobody at that point will have more confidence in science. It’s a very negative position, I hope the Chinese government will go through with it. You begin to recognize that work has been done on the coronavirus» said the Nobel Prize for Medicine.
Precisely for all these mysteries the research conducted on the extremely dangerous supervirus SHC014-MA15 has remained in the crosshairs of investigative journalists although a scientific study would have shown, as reported by Gospa News in report 9, that the correlations with the genetic makeup of Covid-19 they have many similarities but not a perfect identity. So it could therefore be the “prototype” of the SARS-CoV-2 but not the virus itself.
However, the involvement of Wuhan scientists in research and their familiarity with experiments on HIV is of considerable importance in light of the new explosive statements by the famous French virologist. But on the other hand, the shadows remains on Fort Detrick in Frederick (MD), the complex of military laboratories, partly managed by the private contractor Battelle National Biodefense Institute LLC, a ten-year partner of the Pentagon, where last July were some activities suspended for mysterious biosecurity losses.
Proprio per questo nei prossimi reportage analizzeremo, grazie ad un dossier ufficiale sui 24 centri di ricerca biologica degli Usa (in aggiunta ai 25 nei paesi stranieri soprattutto in Ucraina e Georgia), i luoghi dove sono stati condotti esperimenti su ceppi di CoronaVirus e di HIV.
Precisely for this reason, in the next reportages we will analyze, thanks to an official dossier on the 25 biological research centers of the USA (in addition to the 25 in foreign countries especially in Ukraine and Georgia), the places where experiments were carried out on strains of CoronaVirus and HIV.
But also the story of some scientists who mysteriously died and others arrested just as they were working on the AIDS virus for the Pentagon. In fact, the answers to the SARS-Cov-2 puzzle are to be found not only in Wuhan but also in the USA. And viceversa. The smoking gun of the virus created in the laboratory are instead the HIV inserts discovered by Indian researchers and the French Nobel.

veteranstoday--2020-04-23--COVID-19 Reporting Resembles Both “Entertainment” and Ideological Combat

It is now the beginning of April 2020 , and our planet has already come to an almost complete standstill .
Some human beings are mesmerized ; they are under the spell of the novel coronavirus ( flu ) , named COVID-19 .
Well , not as novel , one could argue ; not anymore .
Every day , we are being bombarded by sensationalized numbers and analyzes .
Until , it feels , at least occasionally , the COVID-19-watching has become some sort of a new type of entertainment , at least for millions , many millions , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unlike disaster-watching ; like an obsession with typhoons , earthquakes , or tsunamis .
Or , a fascination with wars ( why else would Washington ’ s adventurism be allowed to continue , almost unopposed ? )
.
Or , should we say , football and other sports ?
In many countries , particularly in Europe and North America , people feel unsatisfied with their lives .
That is putting it mildly .
I have just finished reading the latest novel Serotonin by arguably the greatest living French writer , Michel Houellebecq .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ I began counting how high my own apartment is located from the ground ( I ’ m on the 15th floors , and in Chile , they do not omit 13th levels ) … Just to calculate the speed at which my own body would be hitting the ground , as well as the precise time of the drop ( final thoughts in Serotonin ) .
With such sentiments , forget about building socialism or about embarking on the great projects designed to save humanity .
At the end of the book , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ humanity is finished and that he too is finished , at the age of only 40+ .
He also convinces himself , that it is useless to do anything against the trajectory .
And so , he locks himself in his studio apartment in Paris and watches on television sports , cooking classes , and talk shows .
He also consumes gallons of alcohol , most of it of very high quality .
And he is waiting for death , anticipating his demise .
I do not dare to estimate the percentage of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives in this way ; in New York , London or Paris .
But it appears that the percentage is high .
Some never reach this extreme , but they still feel that their lives are meaningless , empty , and coming to an end .
With this , comes frustration , even anger .
And irritation with those who are doing much better .
Frustrated and depressed people do not want to see countries like China or Russia , fighting ( and winning ) the epic battles against terrible diseases , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Such victories depress them even more , reminding them , with increasing force , about the meaninglessness of their existence ; their own and of their political and economic system .
For some , COVID-19 has brought a certain relief .
Such individuals open their laptops in the morning , they turn on their television sets , and begin consuming countless gruesome predictions , about the number of estimated deaths and infections .
Something monstrous is finally eclipsing their own misery .
Apocalyptic scenarios become some sort of relief or entertainment .
Death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turns to something hollow , meaningless , like pop culture .
Numbers lose meaning ; they are flashing , like in a video game , or on the screen of a gambling machine .
News agencies and television broadcasters soon comprehended the trend and began giving to the public what it wants .
Every day , hundreds , thousands of new COVID-19 cases are being reported .
Millions of people are expected to die , in one month , in two months , within a year .
They are written off , buried @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the screens , scrolling , being shouted at the viewers from monitors .
The more that get infected , the more that die , the more titillating things get .
And the numbers themselves ?
As a war correspondent and a novelist , I know only too well that at some point , numbers lose their meaning .
You can bear one person ’ s death , maybe two , but never one thousand .
At some point , numbers really lose meaning .
The numbers of dead men , women , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the number of li .
If in the thousands , if in millions , nothing can be comprehended by many .
The great Russian poet , Joseph Brodsky ( who used to be politically confused , but still a tremendous poet , nevertheless ) wrote in his “ Letters from the Ming Dynasty ” : “ One thousand li , two thousand li– a thousand means “ Thou shalt not ever see thy native place.
” And the meaninglessness , like a plague , leaps from words onto numbers , onto zeros @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And yes , those zeros everywhere !
The data which is circulated in almost all news bulletins is as bizarre as the philosophy of today ’ s reporting .
“ Italy overtook China in the number of deaths.
” Seriously ?
It has , heavily , already many weeks ago .
Reports are distributed in absolute numbers , almost never on a per-capita basis .
Why , because if on a per-capita basis , the West would be exposed as doing not just worse than China , Russia , or Cuba , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I am compiling statistics .
But let us just have a quick preview now : The most infections per capita : are in Luxemburg !
Followed by Spain , Switzerland , Italy , Germany , Belgium , Austria , Norway , Malaysia , and the Netherlands .
The United States is 14th ( although it is catching up fast , even on a per-capita basis ) .
Now , look at China – 28th and Russia 30th .
Of course , we can say : most of the above-mentioned countries do test @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Indonesia , therefore global statistics can never be precise .
Correct , but doesn ’ t a per capita estimate still puts things into a better perspective than just providing total numbers ?
What is given to us is part of Western propaganda .
It is like saying that China with 1.4 billion inhabitants pollutes more that Norway with only 5.3 million ( it is stated this way , constantly ) .

It is now the beginning of April 2020, and our planet has already come to an almost complete standstill. Some human beings are mesmerized; they are under the spell of the novel coronavirus (flu), named COVID-19. Well, not as novel, one could argue; not anymore.
Every day, we are being bombarded by sensationalized numbers and analyzes. Until, it feels, at least occasionally, the COVID-19-watching has become some sort of a new type of entertainment, at least for millions, many millions, if not billions, of people. Not unlike disaster-watching; like an obsession with typhoons, earthquakes, or tsunamis. Or, a fascination with wars (why else would Washington’s adventurism be allowed to continue, almost unopposed?). Or, should we say, football and other sports?
In many countries, particularly in Europe and North America, people feel unsatisfied with their lives. That is putting it mildly. I have just finished reading the latest novel Serotonin by arguably the greatest living French writer, Michel Houellebecq. Fabulous stuff. After finishing it, I began counting how high my own apartment is located from the ground (I’m on the 15th floors, and in Chile, they do not omit 13th levels) … Just to calculate the speed at which my own body would be hitting the ground, as well as the precise time of the drop (final thoughts in Serotonin).
With such sentiments, forget about building socialism or about embarking on the great projects designed to save humanity.
At the end of the book, the main character of Serotonin concludes that humanity is finished and that he too is finished, at the age of only 40+. He also convinces himself, that it is useless to do anything against the trajectory. And so, he locks himself in his studio apartment in Paris and watches on television sports, cooking classes, and talk shows. He also consumes gallons of alcohol, most of it of very high quality. And he is waiting for death, anticipating his demise.
I do not dare to estimate the percentage of people who are right now living their lives in this way; in New York, London or Paris. But it appears that the percentage is high. Some never reach this extreme, but they still feel that their lives are meaningless, empty, and coming to an end.
With this, comes frustration, even anger. And irritation with those who are doing much better.
Frustrated and depressed people do not want to see countries like China or Russia, fighting (and winning) the epic battles against terrible diseases, or for the survival of the world. Such victories depress them even more, reminding them, with increasing force, about the meaninglessness of their existence; their own and of their political and economic system.
For some, COVID-19 has brought a certain relief.
Such individuals open their laptops in the morning, they turn on their television sets, and begin consuming countless gruesome predictions, about the number of estimated deaths and infections. Something monstrous is finally eclipsing their own misery.
Apocalyptic scenarios become some sort of relief or entertainment. Death, presented in a certain way, turns to something hollow, meaningless, like pop culture.
Numbers lose meaning; they are flashing, like in a video game, or on the screen of a gambling machine.
News agencies and television broadcasters soon comprehended the trend and began giving to the public what it wants.
Every day, hundreds, thousands of new COVID-19 cases are being reported. Millions of people are expected to die, in one month, in two months, within a year. They are written off, buried in advance. Numbers are flashing on the screens, scrolling, being shouted at the viewers from monitors. The more that get infected, the more that die, the more titillating things get.
And the numbers themselves?
As a war correspondent and a novelist, I know only too well that at some point, numbers lose their meaning. You can bear one person’s death, maybe two, but never one thousand. At some point, numbers really lose meaning.
The numbers of dead men, women, and children, the number of endless kilometers, the number of li. If in the thousands, if in millions, nothing can be comprehended by many.
The great Russian poet, Joseph Brodsky (who used to be politically confused, but still a tremendous poet, nevertheless) wrote in his “Letters from the Ming Dynasty”:
“One thousand li, two thousand li–
a thousand means “Thou shalt not ever see
thy native place.” And the meaninglessness, like a plague,
leaps from words onto numbers, onto zeros especially.”
Meaninglessness, like a plague. And yes, those zeros everywhere!
The data which is circulated in almost all news bulletins is as bizarre as the philosophy of today’s reporting.
“Italy overtook China in the number of deaths.”
Seriously? It has, heavily, already many weeks ago.
Reports are distributed in absolute numbers, almost never on a per-capita basis. Why, because if on a per-capita basis, the West would be exposed as doing not just worse than China, Russia, or Cuba, but much, much worse than them.
I am compiling statistics. But let us just have a quick preview now:
The most infections per capita: are in Luxemburg!
Followed by Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Norway, Malaysia, and the Netherlands. The United States is 14th (although it is catching up fast, even on a per-capita basis).
Now, look at China – 28th and Russia 30th.
Of course, we can say: most of the above-mentioned countries do test more than places such as India or Indonesia, therefore global statistics can never be precise. Correct, but doesn’t a per capita estimate still puts things into a better perspective than just providing total numbers?
What is given to us is part of Western propaganda. It is like saying that China with 1.4 billion inhabitants pollutes more that Norway with only 5.3 million (it is stated this way, constantly). Or that Indonesia with around 300 million people is richer than Singapore, simply because it has a bigger GDP than the city-state with 5.6 million.
Now the number of people who have died. Italy is number one in terms of per capita deaths from COVID-19. Although, again, it depends on how things are calculated: did people there die from the coronavirus itself, or from some other conditions (aggravated or not aggravated by the coronavirus), while also being infected with the coronavirus?
In any case, if the situation is analyzed on a per capita basis, the results are always much more logical, if we really want to judge the severity of the problem.
In deaths per capita, Italy is followed by Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, France and Luxemburg.
The United States is number 15 (again, on a per capita basis), and climbing rapidly. China stands at 24, which is hugely impressive, given it was at the frontline, and for some time alone. Russia, again, impressive, ranking at 30.
This is not a sensationalist way of looking at things. And this approach is not entertaining at all. But perhaps, it is, so far, the closest to reality as we can get.
Although, it may be very far from what the Western media outlets and governments want us to know. For many of them, COVID-19 is clearly not a medical but an ideological battle; a new chapter in the 21st Century Cold War.

Major medical centers across the US are at an average of 80 % of capacity .
Some are higher , much higher .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but more often non-COVID patients are being “ turfed ” to rural medical centers where their needs may not be properly addressed .
As with any emergency , the first victim is truth .
Social media lends itself toward sensationalism and can attract those with victimization fantasies .
Thus , only information from known sources is accepted and nothing from mainstream or social media can be trusted .
The situation in American hospitals , not all but more than the public would imagine , is grave .
Currently , PPE ( Personal Protective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the exception of N95 masks and that situation is rapidly improving .
Availability of ventilators in the US is currently very good , thanks to individuals like Elon Musk , the governments of Russia and China and many charitable organizations that have gone to great efforts .
By “ very good ” we are speaking of supplies as predictive modeling indicates .
One of the problems , however , is that the predictive models are predicated on assumptions not in evidence and are failing .
This critical failure , and the cloak of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the lunacy and subterfuge we are seeing in Washington .
Part of that failure is at hospital level .
To clarify , the issue is getting patents off ventilators .
Nearly half of those on ventilators now are at or above 10 days and face a poor outcome .
Claims that half may die are low .
Most or all will die unless a late stage treatment protocol is developed in time .
This is a life and death race and we are losing .
Moreover , many patients who are never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as we are told was the case with Boris Johnson , seem to recover then quickly succumb for no apparent reason .
Johnson likely received Remdesivir , which has been denied other NHS patients .
If so , the political fallout for Johnson , whose policies left the NHS grossly unprepared for the COVID 19 pandemic , will and should be catastrophic .

We have had several reports this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ particularly from South Korea .
By the first week of February , the US had reached one of two scenarios , that could have only been mitigated by a quick vaccine , not possible , and assumptions on immunity that were not evidence based : • Where a 10 lockdown would have applied on February 1 , a two-month lockdown from mid-March to mid-May is likely to lead to waves of reinfection , through September .

On the evening of Saturday, April 18, 2020, the forty thousandth (40,000) “presumed COVID 19 death,” according to new CDC guidelines occurred.
Where death only affects the few, the misinformation, withheld or suppressed data, the lies, the propaganda and censorship are making things worse.
Thus, we turn to the format of a loose intelligence briefing as the infectious nature of propaganda has to be resisted and it is so very hard to resist.
On the morning of Sunday, April 19, 2020 a propaganda blitzkrieg began, using Trump administration surrogates, claiming the deaths are really “fake people” and “empty hospitals.”
We might call this “pandemic denial,” made dangerous as the pandemic, as of mid-late April 2020 is clearly in control and those claiming otherwise are knowingly lying for reasons we will make clear.

This is a life and death race and we are losing.
Moreover, many patients who are never intubated but stay on cannula for oxygen, as we are told was the case with Boris Johnson, seem to recover then quickly succumb for no apparent reason.
Johnson likely received Remdesivir, which has been denied other NHS patients. If so, the political fallout for Johnson, whose policies left the NHS grossly unprepared for the COVID 19 pandemic, will and should be catastrophic.
The biggest morbidity factors are the following:
Age (60 plus)
Obesity
Smoking
Diabetes
Any other cardiopulmonary issues
The glaring question of irregular morbidity figures must be addressed. This is what we have learned:
The healthcare systems of Italy and Spain were very much “not as represented.” Claims that the hospitals of Northern Italy, in particular, are among the “best in the world” is patently false. Were it not for Russian and Chinese aid, both Italy and Spain would have collapsed. Standards of care considered “normal” in Britain, France, Belgium, Spain and Italy rate at or below the worst in the US.
That said, with massive medical infrastructure, the US was blindsided as well. Twenty percent of COVID 19 victims are healthcare professionals. Past that, vital support personnel for health care are primarily African American or Hispanic.
This has given rise to issues of specific genetic vulnerabilities which are likely at this point overemphasized. Households with healthcare and support workers most often have one or more adults working away from home, often in areas of very high exposure.
Past this we look at Iran, hard hit early on. If figures are to be believed, Iran peaked on March 29, 2020 and is showing a steady decline in new patients barring a second wave. Iran’s testing program has been more aggressive than most and if these figures are reliable, they offer some hope to nations, unlike the United States, that took the threat seriously.

We are hopeful.
Saying we have reached an ‘end of the world as we know it’ has both good and bad connotations. Large military forces are no longer in the cards for the major powers. It has been proven how easy it is to take a ship at sea down.
There are so many ways to target infections to diminish military capability, there is now a weapon that makes any state a major player again, and the US is entirely to blame with their massive biological weapon research program.

This is a best-case scenario for the wealthiest of nations.
Saudi Arabia is entering uncharted waters. Clearly, Saudi Arabia and the UAE will end their issues with Iran. From Press TV:
“A Saudi whistleblower has said that the number of Saudi royals infected with the coronavirus (COVID-19) has “exceedingly surpassed” figures previously revealed by a New York Times report. The Saudi al-Ahd al-Jadid Twitter account made the revelations on Friday, more than a week after the NYT report said as many as 150 Saudi royals had contracted the virus. The report at the time said that over 500 beds were being prepared at the elite King Faisal Specialist Hospital that treats members of the Saudi family. On Friday, however, al-Ahd al-Jadid, which is known for whistleblowing on high-profile cases within the Saudi court, revealed that the Saudi hospital reserved for the royals in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah had been overwhelmed with coronavirus cases. “The Jeddah specialist hospital, which is reserved for Saudi royals, is no longer capable of accepting new cases,” the Twitter account said. “Therefore, two hotels have been reserved to be fully used for accommodating and curing infected royals,” it added, naming one of the hotels as being the “Movenpick Hotel”.

Russia’s COVID 19 surge began in April but cases are a small fraction of what the US is seeing with a mortality rate, based on official reports, half of that in the US.
Conclusion
COVID 19, a disease that many experts weren’t expecting for a hundred thousand years, is a highly modified version of the Wuhan Horseshoe Bat Virus. It is not plausible that COVID 19 developed without a gene-splicing laboratory. The odds against such a disease developing naturally are astronomical yet we are continually informed of the opposite.

It is now the beginning of April 2020 , and our planet has already come to an almost complete standstill .

China stands at 24 , which is hugely impressive , given it was at the frontline , and for some time alone .
Russia , again , impressive , ranking at 30 .

It is now the beginning of April 2020, and our planet has already come to an almost complete standstill. Some human beings are mesmerized; they are under the spell of the novel coronavirus (flu), named COVID-19. Well, not as novel, one could argue; not anymore.
Every day, we are being bombarded by sensationalized numbers and analyzes. Until, it feels, at least occasionally, the COVID-19-watching has become some sort of a new type of entertainment, at least for millions, many millions, if not billions, of people. Not unlike disaster-watching; like an obsession with typhoons, earthquakes or tsunamis. Or, a fascination with wars (why else would Washington’s adventurism be allowed to continue, almost unopposed?). Or, should we say, football and other sports?
In many countries, particularly in Europe and North America, people feel unsatisfied with their lives. That is putting it mildly. I have just finished reading the latest novel Serotonin by arguably the greatest living French writer, Michel Houellebecq. Fabulous stuff. After finishing it, I began counting how high my own apartment is located from the ground (I’m on the 15th floors, and in Chile they do not omit 13th levels) … Just to calculate the speed at which my own body would be hitting the ground, as well as the precise time of the drop (final thoughts in Serotonin).
With such sentiments, forget about building socialism or about embarking on the great projects designed to save humanity.
At the end of the book, the main character of Serotonin concludes that humanity is finished, and that he too is finished, at the age of only 40+. He also convinces himself, that it is useless to do anything against the trajectory. And so, he locks himself in his studio apartment in Paris, and watches on television sports, cooking classes and talk shows. He also consumes gallons of alcohol, most of it of very high quality. And he is waiting for death, anticipating his demise.
I do not dare to estimate the percentage of people who are right now living their lives in this way; in New York, London or Paris. But it appears that the percentage is high. Some never reach this extreme, but they still feel that their lives are meaningless, empty, and coming to an end.
With this, comes frustration, even anger. And irritation with those who are doing much better.
Frustrated and depressed people do not want to see countries like China or Russia, fighting (and winning) the epic battles against terrible diseases, or for survival of the world. Such victories depress them even more, reminding them, with increasing force, about the meaninglessness of their existence; their own and of their political and economic system.

If you watch any Trump interview from 10 or more years ago it’s obvious he now has senile dementia and further complicated by his Malignant Narcissism.

Trump asking for “… very special care”, since nobody wants to take care of him.

US President Donald Trump has suspended immigration to the United States, claiming the move is aimed at protecting his people and their jobs during the coronavirus pandemic.
The order, signed Wednesday, suspends new immigration for at least 60 days.
It is applied to people who are currently outside of the US seeking entry and do not currently have a valid visa, according to the text.
Under the order, more than 20,000 people per month would be blocked from obtaining a US green card of permanent residence, based on an analysis by the Washington-based Migration Policy Institute
