If US shale oil and gas and their pipeline backbones crash, will banks that have tossed out massive development loans be far behind them?

America's shale oil boom may be mostly a Wall Street-financed mirage. They've lost money since 2010 with much higher oil prices than today. Overleveraged and unprofitable, you can imagine when a crash in the price of oil means… https://t.co/TNoRqcHeWq — Michael J. Coren (@MJ_Coren) March 12, 2020

First, there is obviously a health crisis – the coronavirus continues to spread. Large swathes of northern Italy are now on lockdown. The number of cases in the US has surged, and could explode in the coming days. Mandatory lockdowns may not be far off. The Trump administration is asleep at the wheel, actively trying to play down the extent of the crisis.
Second, there is a brewing economic crisis. China shut down parts of its economy in January and February. Parts of Europe followed. The US is next.

Third, if all of that is not enough, OPEC and Russia just added on an oil supply crisis. The collapse of talks last week and the ensuing price war has WTI down to $33 per barrel as of midday on Monday, down from $45 last Thursday on the eve of the OPEC+ talks. OPEC and Russia have said that all restraints on production expire at the end of the month, and everyone can produce at will. Oil could easily be in the $20s at any moment (and might be by the time this piece is published).
For the US oil industry, this is a historic crisis. It has the ingredients to be far worse than the 2008 financial meltdown. At that time, a sharp contraction in the global economy blew a hole in the market. But OPEC responded by cutting production.
This time, that same potential for an economic calamity is present, but there is an oil price war occurring simultaneously.
With a combination of a massive supply overhang and a significant demand shock at the same time, the situation we are witnessing today seems to have no equal in oil market history.#THREAD — Fatih Birol (@IEABirol) March 9, 2020
Recent history shows that playing Russian roulette with the US shale industry through an oil "price war" can backfire.

A decade ago, the shale industry barely existed, and falling oil prices cushioned the blow to the US economy by making energy cheaper. Today, an oil market bust could pretty quickly plunge Texas, North Dakota and Appalachia, among other places, into a recession.
Analysts are now predicting that the Eurozone, at a minimum, is heading for an economic recession. France’s finance minister Bruno Le Maire said that Europe needs a “call to arms” to defend the economy.
The pain for US drillers was immediately visible when markets opened on Monday. Deep losses hit everyone. “We have taken the unprecedented steps of bringing our full coverage group to Hold or Sell,” Neal Dingmann of SunTrust said, according to Bloomberg. He called it “energy Armageddon.”

veteranstoday--2020-03-14--Corey Feldman: I literally caught Charlie Sheen with his pants down in Hollywood

When Corey Feldman declared in 2011 that “ The No .
1 problem in Hollywood was and is—and always will be—pedophilia , ” some people in the media didn ’ t pay much attention to him because Feldman sounded like a conspiracy theorist .
Feldman took the political cat out of the bag when he said to an interviewer : “ I can tell you that the number one problem in Hollywood was and is and always will be pedophilia .
That ’ s the biggest problem for children in this industry .
It ’ s the big secret .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ when I was 14 years old .
Literally .
Didn ’ t even know it , until I was old enough to realize what they were and what they wanted…They were like vultures… “ There was a circle of older men that surrounded themselves around these groups of kids .
And they all had power or connections to great power in the entertainment industry….There is a lot of good people in this industry , but there is also a lot of really , really sick and corrupt people…They have gotten away with it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are above the law .
And that ’ s got to change.
” As the years went by , Feldman was shown to be absolutely right .
The political damn burst when Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of sexually manipulating and harassing women .
Now saying that Hollywood is overcrowded with sexual predators or pedophiles is no longer conspiracy theory but , as actress Lupita Nyong ’ O herself said in a New York Times article , “ the conspiracy of silence.
” [ 1 ] Hollywood celebrities themselves have proved that point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Crews and James Van Der Beek have said that they have been groped by Hollywood degenerates .
[ 3 ] By 2016 , “ The Lord of the Rings ” actor Elijah Wood came out and declared almost the same thing .
Commenting on the documentary film Open Secret , Wood declared : “ I ’ ve been led down dark paths to realise that these things probably still are happening .
If you ’ re innocent—you have very little knowledge of the world and you want to succeed—people with parasitic interests will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 4 ] Then right after the Harvey Weinstein debacle , Hollywood celebrities , apparently out of shame , finally declared that there was always a sex pool in the industry , one which always preyed upon the young , the restless , the naïve , and indeed the lustful .
For Weinstein to prey upon more than 40 women over a long period of time seems to suggest that Hollywood is a town filled with predators .
This became very interesting when Weinstein told former actress Heather Kerr way back in 1989 that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sleep with him in order to advance their careers in the industry .
[ 5 ] Feldman seemed to have feared for his life when he drop the political bomb in 2011 ; he never called out Charlie Sheen .
Feldman did not even name names in his 2013 book Coreyography : A Memoir .
He wrote in the book : “ At some point during the filming [ of ‘ Lucas , ’ Haim ] explained an adult male convinced him it was perfectly normal for older men and younger boys in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it was ‘ what all guys do.
’ So they walked off to a secluded area between two trailers during a lunch break for the cast and crew , and Haim , innocent and ambitious as he was , allowed himself to be sodomized.
” [ 6 ] Feldman is no longer hiding .
The adult male was none other than Charlie Sheen .
[ 7 ] Haim died at the age of 28 in 2010 .
Charlie Sheen , said Feldman , sodomized Haim on the set of the 1986 Steven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Haim was 13 .
Feldman said : “ He [ Haim ] told me : ‘ Charlie bent me over in between two trailers and put Crisco oil on my butt and raped me in broad daylight .
Anybody could have walked by , anybody could have seen it.
’ ” [ 8 ] The Daily Mail has reported : “ Feldman ’ s ex-wife Susannah Sprague , who split from the actor in 2009 after seven years together , also claimed that Haim told her he was raped .
‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ set of Lucas that he was raped as a little boy .
He told me that it was his co-star and he told me that it was Charlie Sheen that did it.
’ “ Jamison Newlander , an actor who became friends with Feldman and Haim after co-starring with them in The Lost Boys ( 1987 ) also said that Haim had confided in him about Sheen .
Both Sprague and Newlander suggested that the abuse was common knowledge among Hollywood circles but was ultimately ignored .
“ The allegations first surfaced in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who Feldman also accuses of sexually abusing Haim in the documentary – claimed that Sheen had sex with Haim while they were filming Lucas.
” [ 9 ] Feldman also accused Jon Grissom , nightclub owner Alphy Hoffman , and former talent manager Marty Weiss of sexually abusing him .
Charlie Sheen , of course , denied the accusation .
He said : “ These sick , twisted and outlandish allegations never occurred , ” Sheen said , adding that he urged everyone “ to consider the source and read what [ Haim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say.
” [ 10 ] According to Feldman , Judy Haim knew about Sheen ’ s predatory adventures ; she knew that Sheen raped her own son , but she chose to remain silent , apparently because a lot of money is involved , apparently because she was the one who brought Corey on the set and allowed him to be sodomized .
Even back in 2017 , she was still in denial .
“ When my son was 13 , he wasn ’ t going to ask Charlie Sheen to go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
[ 11 ] What we know for from common sense is that being sexually raped or sodomized is not something that can easily be healed or even forgotten without proper treatment .
Feldman said that Haim “ fought for his entire life to recover from those early experiences and to get his life together.
” [ 12 ] Obviously Haim lost the battle , as he struggled with drug addiction and depression , and then lost his life at the early age of 38. Who is largely responsible for this ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Judy Haim is partly to blame .
She allowed her precious son to be sodomized in Hollywood , where sexual acts upon the young and restless are widespread .
“ I believe there ’ s a lot of darkness in Hollywood right now , ” said Haim , “ and I believe it ’ s been there for quite some time.
” [ 13 ] Indeed .
Dawn C. Chmielewski of the LA Times wrote back in 2012 that “ At least a dozen child molestation and child pornography prosecutions since 2000 have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and others in the entertainment industry.
” [ 14 ] One of those child managers was Bob Villard , who was convicted of child pornography back in 1987 .
Villard claimed that he worked with former young actors like Tobey Maguire , Leonardo DiCaprio and Danny Nucci .
He said that he had “ guided the careers of dozens of successful film and television actors.
” [ 15 ] Villard was far from alone .
Ezel Ethan Channel , who was a temporary production assistant at Nickelodeon Animation Studio , was arrested for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Handy , who called himself “ a pedophile , full blown ” and who worked as a production assistant at Nickelodeon , was eventually sentenced to six years in prison for sexually exploiting six-year-olds .
Martin Weiss , “ a longtime talent manager who specialized in representing young actors , ” was again sentenced to years in prison for sexually abusing boys .
Many others could be named here .
[ 16 ] The central question is simply this : Are these just isolated cases ?
Or is this moral disease widespread in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the answer is a resounding yes .
[ 17 ] Actress Allison Arngrim , who played in the Little House on the Prairie , declared , that pedophiles in Hollywood “ are typically very careful when choosing .
They look for kids whose parents are maybe going through a divorce , are very naïve , suffering with addiction problems , or are simply crazy stage parents who will look the other way.
” She added that parents also play a huge role in objectifying their kids : “ In Hollywood , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kids in the hope they can make money and get ahead .
It is a horrible trap that the kids are in .
These people aren ’ t seeing their kid as a kid .
It ’ s more common than you think.
” [ 18 ] Arngrim is telling the truth , and there are numerous cases which indicate that some parents do sell their kids to film studios where those kids are abused in front of the camera .
“ Aged four , Raven Kaliana ’ s parents took her to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abused in front of cameras .
For most of her childhood they regularly trafficked her to the sex industry.

Breaking/Exclusive:  US Brought COVID-19 to China with Fake Army Team for Military Games, Evidence Mounting

“ When did patient zero begin in US ?
How many people are infected ?
What are the names of the hospitals ?
It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan .
Be transparent !
Make public your data !
US owe us an explanation !
” Zhao tweeted .
RT/Moscow : The US army might have brought the novel coronavirus disease ( COVID-19 ) to China ’ s Wuhan , the city where the virus was first detected in the country , Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian said on Thursday .
The Chinese claim , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the inattentive attitude and disproportionately below average results of American athletes in the game indicates they might have been in for other purposes and they might actually be bio-warfare operatives , and that their place of residence during their stay in Wuhan was also close to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market , where the first known cluster of cases occurred .
[ 28 ] [ 29 ] They also have sources that say the US had misrepresented influenza that Trump claims have killed thousands , influenza carried to China by the US team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a disease developed in a military bio-warfare facility in the state of Washington , now “ ground zero ” in the US for COVID 19 .
The US team went home on October 28 , 2019 , and within 2 weeks , the first human contact cases of COVID 19 were seen in Wuhan .
The Chinese have not been able to find “ patient zero ” and believe he was a member of the US team .

VT’s overall poor relationship with the Trump presidency has moved up a notch. The report Trump is referencing went, not unnoticed, but rather totally censored in the Western press, as has so much else until VT sought out the facts and published them.

If America proves that the Wuhan Games were a super spreader event – Trudeau and Xi Jinping are in some serious shit. https://t.co/8Nt21XnwPv — Keean Bexte (@TheRealKeean) June 24, 2021
Now, for the second time, Trump has made sad and silly denials, this one filled with hyperbole and grandiose behavior, typical of a spectrum sociopath.
March 12, 2020: In October 2019, the US brought 172 (really 369) military athletes to Wuhan for the World Military Games. Despite having the largest military in the world, tenfold, the US came in 35th behind nations like Iran, Finland and Slovenia. No video or photos exist of the US team, no records were kept, a huge team but a pitiful performance for the best military in the world.
The US team did so badly that they were called “Soy Sauce Soldiers” by the Chinese. In fact, many never participated in any event and stayed near the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, where the disease is said to have originated only days after the US left the area.
“You look at how the US team performed in the 2019 Military Games, and you think about the overall economic situation in America, and you wonder how long the US can continue on its current path when the economies debt is at an unprecedented rate”, stated Ben Tejes, Co-Founder and CEO of Ascend Finance, which created a Chapter 7 means test calculator to help people understand their debt relief options such as bankruptcy.
The US team went home on October 28, 2019, and within 2 weeks, the first human contact cases of COVID 19 were seen in Wuhan. The Chinese have not been able to find “patient zero” and believe he was a member of the US team.
They also have sources that say the US had misrepresented influenza that Trump claims have killed thousands, influenza carried to China by the US team, influenza that was really COVID 19, a disease developed in a military bio-warfare facility in the state of Washington, now “ground zero” in the US for COVID 19.
The Chinese claim, something censored in the US, that the inattentive attitude and disproportionately below average results of American athletes in the game indicates they might have been in for other purposes and they might actually be bio-warfare operatives, and that their place of residence during their stay in Wuhan was also close to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, where the first known cluster of cases occurred.[28][29]
RT/Moscow: The US army might have brought the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to China’s Wuhan, the city where the virus was first detected in the country, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian said on Thursday.
“When did patient zero begin in the US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be the US army that brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! The US owes us an explanation!” Zhao tweeted.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lijian Zhao has demanded US authorities reveal what they’re hiding about the origins of Covid-19, going as far as to suggest the coronavirus may have been brought to China by the US military.
Pointing to a video of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Robert Redfield apparently admitting the US had several deaths from Covid-19 before they were able to test for it, Zhao called on the American watchdog to come clean in a tweet posted on Thursday.

In the video, Redfield acknowledged that some cases of coronavirus were misclassified as influenza as the medics did not have an accurate test for the new epidemic at the time. He did not elaborate on when these misdiagnosed cases first appeared – saying only that “some cases have been diagnosed that way.”

In the absence of any patients’ details or chronology of deaths, speculation has swirled. Zhao’s “theory” in particular focused on the military delegation that traveled to Wuhan in October for the Military World Games, weeks before the city confirmed the outbreak in December. The delegation was part of the 300-member group of American athletes taking part in the multi-sport event held every four years.

Zhao is not the only high-profile political figure to voice suspicions about the timing of the Games and the introduction of the coronavirus in Wuhan. Former Malaysian PM Matthias Chang offered similar speculation back in January, zeroing in on the event as the launch point for what he deemed a biological war waged by the US against China.
We are still figuring out where the virus originated. And chances are high that the virus was brought to China by the US army team who visited Wuhan in October. Anyway, no human deserves COVID-19. The world should fight against the disease together. No time for blame. — Chris Jiang (@crs_1222) February 27, 2020
The World Health Organization (WHO) states that what is now the Covid-19 pandemic was first reported as a coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China, on 31 December 2019. The search for the deadly disease’s origin has been ongoing, with conflicting versions blaming the Wuhan food market and bats – a local delicacy – sold there in particular, while others opined humans might have gotten the virus from pangolins, an endangered scaly mammal.
Less orthodox theories suggest malicious intent, with the head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards sensationally claiming last week that Covid-19 could possibly be “a product of a biological attack by America which initially spread to China and then to Iran and the rest of the world.”
So far, the problem with all of those theories, blaming both animals and humans, is that no direct causal proof has been established, while the identity of China’s “patient zero” also remains unclear. And it’s not China alone: in Washington state – which seemingly identified and successfully isolated its first infected traveler, with dozens of contacts identified and monitored – the virus somehow began spreading anyway. Even Steve Wozniak, Apple’s co-founder, at one point claimed he and his wife may have been the US’ “patient zero” after developing a bad cough on return from China. It has since emerged his wife’s diagnosis was “a sinus infection,” however.

Gospa News interviewed him exclusively, knowing his expertise on a specific immune-stimulating phytomedicine for the respiratory tract, which had become the target of COVID-19, precisely for this reason also called Acute Respiratory Severe Syndrome (SARS-Cov-2).

Now we just have to hope that some hospitals start testing it on patients infected with COVID-19 to confirm its likely scientific evidence. Provided that the Big Pharma of sinthtetic drugs vaccines do not obstruct …

veteranstoday--2020-03-14--COVID-19 Primer: Facts Not Fiction

COVID-19 Primer: Facts Not Fiction

With the wealth of information from the CDC and other sources , official sources , endlessly repeated , the real information that both the public and healthcare professional need to have , in fact must have , what can be expected , what is expected of them , is forgotten .
This is what we address today , when to seek treatment , what will happen when you do seek treatment and , for medical professionals , the procedures necessary to make a diagnosis , to keep patients safe and to operate with safety and effectiveness .
By now every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even read knows that the issues are there : Chances are , if you have these symptoms and you haven ’ t been exposed , knowingly , to a risk factor , overseas travel , a previously diagnosed patient or been stupid enough to get on an airplane ( cigar shaped germ infuser ) , you probably have a form of the flu .
It is for medical professionals to ascertain this , once you reach the threshold of seeking treatment , something that becomes more frightening every day with hospitals banning visitors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may be shipped off to a military base for quarantine .
This won ’ t happen and we are here to tell you exactly what will happen , what choices you will have , and for healthcare professionals who don ’ t have access If you have not had the pleasure of going to an ER , doctor ’ s office , etc .
for being sick in this coronavirus/influenza/COVID-19 world that is great !
You might ask , how do I know that I need help with my health because I do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ symptoms will I have that will lead me to seek healthcare ?
• Basically , there are three areas of health concern for possible infection with COVID-19 .
• Are you ill with an elevated temperature , do you have a cough , are you feeling short of breath ?
• The typical additional symptoms that occur with the common cold and the flu , such as runny nose , sneezing , watery eyes , diarrhea , nausea , vomiting are not symptoms of coronavirus ( COVID-19 . )
That being said , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can not have a mixture of viruses but the lung involvement ( the beginnings of pneumonia ) will be experienced with any shortness of breath .
Unexplained shortness of breath i.e .
you have not been jogging or physically exerting yourself .
Difficulty breathing , if you do not have an elephant sitting on your chest , is a clear sign that you are not getting enough oxygen and we all know that oxygen is ultimately necessary for life .
If you seek healthcare for difficulty in breathing you will be asked if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ area that has been affected with COVID-19 ( which really can be almost anywhere now with so many countries having positive cases of COVID-19 ) in the past 14 days ?
Likely , you have been on an airplane for this travel ?
Also , have you been in contact with someone who has a confirmed case of COVID-19 .
A yes answer to either of these questions makes your current illness suspicious of the possibility of COVID-19 .
Then , if you also have a cough and are short of breath you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with immediate placement of a facemask and isolation .
The person who is questioning you will wear personal protective equipment ( PPE ) and will alert an Infection Prevention Department which most facilities will have put into operation .
Your temperature will be measured , and notes will be made of whether you have a respiratory illness represented by cough and or shortness of breath .
An Infection Prevention Person will collect specimens to test for COVID-19 .
Most testing will probably be done at a site in the Emergency Department or any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The ways to test for COVID-19 are twofold : • Either blood testing for antigens of the COVID-19 virus .
• Swabs of nose , mouth , and throat .
The swabs may be from the nose ( nasopharyngeal ( NP ) or from the back of the throat ( oropharyngeal ( OP ) .
• There may be an attempt to collect aspirates of fluids from the nose and or nasopharyngeal areas of the mouth .
After testing , you will either be sent home with instructions for self-isolation or admitted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ severity of your symptoms .
What makes COVID-19 a virus that bears close watching , especially if you have symptoms of the virus or the actual virus itself ?
• There are clusters of COVID-19 on continents other than North America .
• There is an increased number of suspected and actual cases spreading into states across the U.S. • There is an unusually high mortality ( death or death producing ) rate among these numbers of COVID-19 cases • As a state develops positive cases of COVID-19 , that state will implement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
What are the differences and similarities between symptoms for COVID-19 and the flu ?
• Both viruses may cause an elevated temperature and dry cough but COVID-19 produces more cases of difficulty in breathing and shortness of breath , which is the key sign to seek medical help .
• The regular influenza will come on very quickly ( 1 or 2 days ) and produce fatigue , chills , headaches , which are less common with COVID-19 .
COVID-19 symptoms take longer to appear and do not generally include sneezing and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 and influenza are ; • That COVID-19 is far more infectious as it affects more people than the regular flu .
• The flu sometimes kills young and relatively health people as well as pregnant women .
• COVID-19 seems to be deadlier than any of the pandemic flus during the 50s and 60s .
• While COVID-19 is not as deadly as the Spanish flu , older individuals with serious heart and lung conditions as well as cancer , immunosuppressive diseases , and diabetes are a high risk .
Deaths due @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distress syndrome ( ARDS ) which makes breathing impossible by filling the lungs with fluid ( pneumonia . )
No drugs are available to treat COVID-19 and if breathing becomes more compromised the person will need to be placed onto a ventilator to support breathing while the body heals .
The human population has no immunity to COVID-19 because this is a first-time seen virus , a novel virus .
Since humans have not been subjected to this virus in the past , there is no chance that there will be a natural @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with our own body ’ s defenses .
Children are not becoming very ill when they get COVID-19 and seem to only contract it from family members who have tested positive .
Children are dying from influenza .
Closing schools may be a measure that is too strong since children do not seem to be the breeding ground for this virus .
That being said , the teachers and administrators at schools are adults and thus they are susceptible to the virus .
On the positive side , people who become infected with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conditions that have already compromised their immune systems and body organs systems , are not all succumbing to the virus .
Not by a long shot !
About 80 to 90 % of those who are infected with COVID-19 ( novel coronavirus ) have only moderate symptoms and many have no symptoms at all , which is the reason why this virus is so readily spread since the person does not realize he or she is ill for as long as 14 days .
Good prospect for the person who is ill with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will spread .
Take away the above facts about our current American and world-wide medical situation and realize that man and womankind are not doomed to be wiped off the face of the earth .
Currently we are more at risk from misinformation that would have us panic and turn on each other .
This misinformation , that would cause us to second guess are abilities to take care of our families , friends , and ourselves as we remain cognizant of the importance of remaining calm and focused on what is happening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We have had anti-science thrust upon us with the current administration and those put in “ charge ” of our well-being .
We have had anti-vaxing conspiracies thrown in our faces , stoking buttons of fear in those who can not think for themselves .
We have had most of what Obama accomplished removed , including Obamacare that sought to make sure everyone in America had access to affordable healthcare .
Budgets for health programs and agencies were axed .
Trump and his administration have pulled the plug on scientific and diplomatic work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ facing a huge hit to its global economy .
When the outbreak of COVID-19 has receded , and it will , businesses will be lost and some will remain .
Certainly , businesses will have to adjust their health/illness restrictions to keep their employees safe and still working .
With schools closing for three weeks basic childcare for the working parent will be lost and children who rely on the school lunch as their only “ complete ” meal of the day will be hungrier .
If this global pandemic started as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of whoever thought this up , we can wish that those will be found out and dealt with .
This may be simply a virus that just became too successful as it hijacks human cells to reproduce itself .
Biggest question of all , is this a cover-up to keep us off of our game ?
If so , what is being hidden from us ?
In the meantime , wash those hands with soap and water , especially since the hand sanitizer shelves are empty , keep your hands away from your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face in general , stay home if you are ill , stay away from others who are ill , stay at home as much as possible , do not go into large groups , and above all help anyone who is truly struggling at this time .
We will not lose our humanity despite the cause for our present condition…..Carol

Other difference between COVID-19 and influenza are;
That COVID-19 is far more infectious as it affects more people than the regular flu.
The flu sometimes kills young and relatively health people as well as pregnant women.
COVID-19 seems to be deadlier than any of the pandemic flus during the 50s and 60s.
While COVID-19 is not as deadly as the Spanish flu, older individuals with serious heart and lung conditions as well as cancer, immunosuppressive diseases, and diabetes are a high risk.
Deaths due to COVID-19 are due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) which makes breathing impossible by filling the lungs with fluid (pneumonia.) No drugs are available to treat COVID-19 and if breathing becomes more compromised the person will need to be placed onto a ventilator to support breathing while the body heals.
The human population has no immunity to COVID-19 because this is a first-time seen virus, a novel virus. Since humans have not been subjected to this virus in the past, there is no chance that there will be a natural immunity that help us to fight COVID-19 with our own body’s defenses.
Children are not becoming very ill when they get COVID-19 and seem to only contract it from family members who have tested positive. Children are dying from influenza. Closing schools may be a measure that is too strong since children do not seem to be the breeding ground for this virus. That being said, the teachers and administrators at schools are adults and thus they are susceptible to the virus.
On the positive side, people who become infected with COVID-19 and do not have underlying health conditions that have already compromised their immune systems and body organs systems, are not all succumbing to the virus. Not by a long shot! About 80 to 90% of those who are infected with COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) have only moderate symptoms and many have no symptoms at all, which is the reason why this virus is so readily spread since the person does not realize he or she is ill for as long as 14 days. Good prospect for the person who is ill with COVID-19 but bad news for how it will spread.
Take away the above facts about our current American and world-wide medical situation and realize that man and womankind are not doomed to be wiped off the face of the earth. Currently we are more at risk from misinformation that would have us panic and turn on each other. This misinformation, that would cause us to second guess are abilities to take care of our families, friends, and ourselves as we remain cognizant of the importance of remaining calm and focused on what is happening around us, must be ignored.
We have had anti-science thrust upon us with the current administration and those put in “charge” of our well-being. We have had anti-vaxing conspiracies thrown in our faces, stoking buttons of fear in those who cannot think for themselves. We have had most of what Obama accomplished removed, including Obamacare that sought to make sure everyone in America had access to affordable healthcare. Budgets for health programs and agencies were axed. Trump and his administration have pulled the plug on scientific and diplomatic work with other nations. The world is facing a huge hit to its global economy. When the outbreak of COVID-19 has receded, and it will, businesses will be lost and some will remain. Certainly, businesses will have to adjust their health/illness restrictions to keep their employees safe and still working. With schools closing for three weeks basic childcare for the working parent will be lost and children who rely on the school lunch as their only “complete” meal of the day will be hungrier. If this global pandemic started as a way to hurt mankind for the benefit of whoever thought this up, we can wish that those will be found out and dealt with. This may be simply a virus that just became too successful as it hijacks human cells to reproduce itself. Biggest question of all, is this a cover-up to keep us off of our game? If so, what is being hidden from us?
In the meantime, wash those hands with soap and water, especially since the hand sanitizer shelves are empty, keep your hands away from your eyes, nose, mouth, and face in general, stay home if you are ill, stay away from others who are ill, stay at home as much as possible, do not go into large groups, and above all help anyone who is truly struggling at this time.

The recent outbreak of the Coronavirus Covid-19 around the world and especially in the US showed how unprepared we are and how our citizens the majority of our citizens are without “safety net.”
With restaurants, hotels, airports, cafes, kindergarten closed down as safety measures, tens of millions of workers who, for the most part, live on payday to payday are most vulnerable without medical insurance and coverage, without paid sick leaves and with no support from the government.
In contrast, while major political candidates argue about the affordability of universal health care, the Feds decided to pump and inject $1.5 Trillion into the stock market to help investors, an injection of this amount wiped out in almost days.
Of course, we do have the money to give to Wall Street, but we do not have money to give our people the safety net most needed in these difficult times. Primary health care, affordable housing, affordable transportation, affordable daycare, paid maternity leave, affordable education, Republicans and Democrats think they are doing us a favor by denying all of these essential services.
Congress passed a quick relief bill to cover paid sick leaves for employees working for companies of less than 500. while not providing any coverage for employees who are working for large corporations, like McDonald, Amazon, Lockheed, FedEx, UPS, Wall-Mart, because Republicans want to do a favor for these big corporations.

O’Hare Airport in Chicago, Illinois, one of world’s busiest airports by passenger traffic, has been overwhelmed with a sea of people, with photos and videos by stranded travelers showing long lines leading up to the baggage line and customs. The average waiting time is reportedly from six to 10 hours.
Ironically, the commotion appears to be a direct consequence of the US’ newly-introduced 30-day ban on all travel from Europe that came into effect earlier this week and is aimed at stopping the spread of the virus. The ban makes an exception for American citizens, their spouses, parents, other relatives as well as permanent residents, who are allowed to return home. However, those who are willing to fly back to the US can do so only via one of 13 specially designated airports and must be subjected to a stringent coronavirus screening.
With the situation at the airport not getting any better despite outrage on social media and calls for the federal government to intervene, police have reportedly started handing out disinfectant wipes and water bottles. People in the crowds were spotting wearing masks.

Pritzker appealed to Trump directly on Twitter, arguing that the state has no role to play in the crisis as customs are “under federal jurisdiction.”
Bombarded with angry messages, the airport has also pointed finger at the federal government, saying that they lack sufficient staff to process all the passengers in time due to the need to implement coronavirus-related guidelines.
