activistpost--2020-02-06--The Dystopian Horror of Life Under Quarantine in China

The coronavirus is rapidly spreading through China despite efforts to slow it down and the lengths that the Chinese government is going to appear to be nothing short of dystopian .
Millions upon millions of people have been quarantined or isolated , but the spread of the virus appears not to have slowed down .
Of course , the problem is , China has been so secretive we ’ re left to rely on leaked videos and desperate messages from anonymous sources to find out what ’ s actually happening .
So while I believe the stories in this article @ @ @ @ @ @ @ important to note that it is impossible to vet these sources thoroughly .
China ’ s leader , Xi Jinping , has ordered a crackdown on anyone who is caught undermining efforts to contain the virus .
It wouldn ’ t be a stretch of the imagination to think that someone sharing information that Mr. Xi doesn ’ t want out could be accused of “ spreading false rumors.
” Anyone leaking information from China could potentially face dire consequences – and if they aren ’ t punished their families might be .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s no surprise those who are sharing videos with the rest of the world want to remain anonymous .
What it ’ s like in Wuhan One citizen journalist , Chen Qiushi , is reporting from inside Wuhan .

In an interview with Quartz , Chen shared some of the things he has witnessed .

According to this shocking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that corpses are stacked up amidst living patients in a hospital .
There are many reports of sick people being denied care and testing , and being sent home to “ self-quarantine.

Sick people are being referred to as “ The Infected ” and it seems like something out of a horrifying movie .

The government of China is now going door-to-door to search for infected people .
Note that these quarantine shelters are not hospitals .
They ’ re taking a page out of the Hurricane Katrina handbook and using sports arenas to house the less seriously ill. And you ’ re going whether you want to or not .
Let ’ s be honest – it sounds like the “ quarantine shelters ” are where they take people to die .
People are being sealed into their apartments .
According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in their own homes .

This is a nightmare , covered by a blanket of lies .
It would be incredibly difficult to convince me that we ’ re getting the truth from China , something I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appeared on our radar in the US .
Would China be resorting to these extreme and dystopian measures if only 300 people or so had died ?
Would crematoriums be running non-stop if only 300 people had died ?
Would they be willing to take this massive hit to their economy and their global reputation if only 300 or so people out of 1.3 billion had died ?
It ’ s possible that a news outlet called Tencent “ accidentally ” posted the real numbers last Saturday for just a few seconds .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and China ’ s officially reported epidemic numbers came overnight , when a slip up in China ’ s TenCent may have revealed the true extent of the coronavirus epidemic on the mainland .
And it is nothing short than terrifying .
As the Taiwan Times reports , over the weekend , “ Tencent seems to have inadvertently released what is potentially the actual number of infections and deaths , which were astronomically higher than official figures “ , and were far closer to the catastrophic epidemic projections made by Jonathan Read .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Saturday evening , Tencent , on its webpage titled “ Epidemic Situation Tracker ” , showed confirmed cases of novel coronavirus ( 2019nCoV ) in China as standing at 154,023 , 10 times the official figure at the time .
It listed the number of suspected cases as 79,808 , four times the official figure .
And while the number of cured cases was only 269 , well below the official number that day of 300 , most ominously , the death toll listed was 24,589 , vastly higher than the 300 officially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tencent updated the numbers to reflect the government ’ s “ official ” numbers that day .
This was not the first time Tencent has done this : as Taiwan Times notes , Chinese netizens have noticed that Tencent has on at least three occasions posted extremely high numbers , only to quickly lower them to government-approved statistics .
This is where it gets even more bizarre : contrary to claiming that this was just a “ fat finger ” mistyping of data , observant Chinese netizens also noticed that each time the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it shows a comparison with the previous day ’ s data which demonstrates a “ reasonable ” incremental increase , much like comparisons of official numbers .
( source ) Since this is the 4th time this has happened , who thinks that someone at Tencent is trying to get the REAL numbers out into the world ?
If their “ oops ” numbers are correct , as of Saturday there were : This would sure make a lot more sense than the party line , considering the measures the Chinese have taken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth is , we can be assured that the situation in China is ugly .
We do know that people are being forcibly quarantined , medical care is only available for a small percentage of sick people , infected people are being rounded up , dead people are being rapidly cremated , and there is a shortage of supplies .
While this virus has mostly hit mainland China , there are enough cases outside the mainland for the World Health Organization to declare a global emergency .
At this point , the United @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases , but preparations are being made for a much larger outbreak , such as hospital staff being prepped with protocols and declaring a public health emergency .
Never think for a moment that dystopian measures can ’ t happen here .
Your best bet is to be prepared to self-quarantine if the virus takes hold in the United States as it has in China .
It ’ s pretty clear that Chinese citizens can not rely on their government to protect them .
It wouldn ’ t take that many cases for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ overwhelmed .

The coronavirus is rapidly spreading through China despite efforts to slow it down and the lengths that the Chinese government is going to appear to be nothing short of dystopian. Millions upon millions of people have been quarantined or isolated, but the spread of the virus appears not to have slowed down.
Of course, the problem is, China has been so secretive we’re left to rely on leaked videos and desperate messages from anonymous sources to find out what’s actually happening. So while I believe the stories in this article are probably true, it’s important to note that it is impossible to vet these sources thoroughly.
China’s leader, Xi Jinping, has ordered a crackdown on anyone who is caught undermining efforts to contain the virus.
He also said that officials would take aim at those who resist epidemic prevention and control efforts, including by spreading false rumors. (source)
It wouldn’t be a stretch of the imagination to think that someone sharing information that Mr. Xi doesn’t want out could be accused of “spreading false rumors.” Anyone leaking information from China could potentially face dire consequences – and if they aren’t punished their families might be. With this in mind, it’s no surprise those who are sharing videos with the rest of the world want to remain anonymous.
What it’s like in Wuhan
One citizen journalist, Chen Qiushi, is reporting from inside Wuhan. You can follow him on Twitter here. To see the translations, simply click on a Tweet and the option to have it translated to English is available.
In a video blog published on YouTube on Jan. 30, a week into his reporting trip, an emotional Chen described how helpless people filled hospitals that were struggling to admit them, and showed footage of a woman next to a dead man in a wheelchair making desperate phone calls for help to move her relative’s body. The videos have drawn attention on Chinese social media, even though YouTube is blocked there and requires special software to access, as well as outside China. “I, for the first time, really started to feel scared,” Chen said in the video. He also spoke about whether he felt pressure from the authorities over his videos, but declared, “I’m not afraid of dying, why should I be afraid of you, Communist Party ?” (source)
In an interview with Quartz, Chen shared some of the things he has witnessed.
The situation is still severe… I have been to four Wuhan hospitals, and even the construction site of Huoshenshan, the temporary hospital China built for admitting the patients. In the beginning, there were not many people in hospitals. But after I met more local youngsters, I heard from them that the situation is still severe. They do not have enough testing kits, beds, and doctors are extremely overwhelmed. Workers and their leaders at the construction sites for the new hospitals are exhausted too… …Some continued with their normal life, despite being a bit bored or feeling depressed, but they were not panicking. But for those who were suspected to have the virus, they were very very anxious and some went online calling for help. I also saw people who did not care about the issue at all and did not wear face masks… Prices of goods are staying stable. For myself, I bought bread and milk, and can still order food deliveries. I can use a Mobike and some friend lent me an electric motorcycle. For ordinary citizens, they can either ride electric motorcycles, or order taxis mobilized by their residential communities. But it is difficult to book taxis because of the small number of them… (source)
Others report food shortages, however.
When the lockdown was first announced, people began to stockpile food and resources in a desperate attempt to sustain themselves amid an unprecedented quarantine. A woman from New Zealand, who was in Wuhan to visit her father for the Lunar New Year, told NewsHub about the conditions. “It’s quite scary here,” she said. “There’s all kinds of rumors online and there’s a shortage of medical supplies. If we go outside, we cannot buy masks anywhere. “There’s also a shortage of food,” she added. “A lot of shelves are empty.” (source)
The NY Times reports:
In the mornings, Wuhan is so quiet that bird calls sound down once busy streets. Stray dogs trot in the middle of empty expressways. Residents wrapped in masks creep out of their homes, anxiety flitting across their eyes. They line up at hospitals overwhelmed by a virus that most had not heard of until a few weeks ago. They line up outside pharmacies despite the door signs declaring they have sold out of protective masks, disinfectant, surgical gloves and thermometers. They line up to buy rice, fruit and vegetables from food stores that keep operating, while nearly all other shops are closed. Then they shuffle home to wait out this 21st-century siege. The unluckiest ones lie at home or in a hospital, stricken by pneumonia fevers that could spell death linked to coronavirus 2019-nCoV. “I’ve started to lose track of the days,” said Yang Dechao, a burly 34-year-old factory worker trapped in Wuhan. “Is it Sunday or Monday? You forget because all normal activity has stopped. Ordinary people have just their families and their phones.”
Soothing recorded messages playing over loudspeakers say that the government cares, and admonish residents to wear masks and minimize outings… (source)
A teacher shared her story of despair, fear, and hopelessness while under quarantine with Al Jazeera.
Millions of us have been put under quarantine for seven days now, and all of this still feels surreal. These days, I have been doing the same things over and over again: eat, sleep, eat, and the cycle continues. All entertainment shows have also been cancelled by the government, and that leaves only the news about the virus playing on a loop on TV. Every aspect of my life is constantly reminding me of a single fact – the virus outbreak is still very real. (source)
And this is life for people who are not sick.
Hospitals are turning people away.
There are numerous reports that hospitals are turning away all but the most seriously ill. This is likely one cause of the questionable numbers coming out of China. If a patient isn’t confirmed to have the virus, he isn’t counted. And if a sick person is turned away from the hospital, then he certainly can’t be confirmed to have the virus, can he?
Designated hospitals in the Chinese city at the center of a coronavirus outbreak started taking only severe or critical patients, as more Chinese cities imposed restrictions on movement to help contain the fast-spreading pathogen that has killed more than 560 people… …The medical system in China’s Hubei province, where the virus broke out in Wuhan, the capital, in December, has been overwhelmed by the virus, and front-line staff have been forced to turn patients away as authorities race to build new hospitals… …Hu Lishan, a local Communist Party official, said at a press conference Wednesday night that many patients confirmed to have the coronavirus hadn’t been admitted to hospitals designated for virus treatment because of a lack of available beds. The situation was distressing and painful, he said. (source)
Hospital staff are so overwhelmed they’ve begun wearing adult diapers – not only because they don’t have time to go to the bathroom but also because they don’t want to run the risk of damaging their hazmat suits. Meanwhile, hospitals have been turning away patients for weeks because there are no tests and there are no beds.
According to this shocking video posted on Twitter, it appears that corpses are stacked up amidst living patients in a hospital.
There are many reports of sick people being denied care and testing, and being sent home to “self-quarantine.”
A lockdown across the city and much of its surrounding province has exacerbated a shortage of medical supplies, testing kits and hospital beds for those sickened by the coronavirus. Many residents, unwell and desperate for care, have been forced to go from hospital to hospital on foot, only to be turned away from even being tested for the virus, let alone treated. They have had to resort to quarantines at home, risking the spread of the virus within families and neighborhoods. (source)
Officials are rounding up sick people.
While hospitals are unable to care for more patients, this hasn’t stopped officials from rounding up sick people in a frighteningly authoritarian manner. Sick people are being referred to as “The Infected” and it seems like something out of a horrifying movie.
A person shared a video he shot from his apartment window of a “suspected infected” being chased by authorities.
#coronavirus
Wuhan, Evergreen Community
A suspicious infected is being chased by a group of policemen. People are reluctant to go to the designated Fire God Mountain Hospital because it is like jail. You never know if you can still come back pic.twitter.com/sPPx4S3j7F — FAISAL AZIZ (@Faisal0343Aziz) February 5, 2020
The government of China is now going door-to-door to search for infected people.
A senior Chinese official has ordered the authorities in the city of Wuhan to immediately round up all residents in the city who have been infected with the coronavirus and place them in isolation, quarantine, or in designated hospitals. Sun Chunlan, a vice premier tasked with leading the central government’s response to the outbreak, said city investigators should go to each home to check the temperatures of every resident and interview infected patients’ close contacts. “Set up a 24-hour duty system. During these wartime conditions, there must be no deserters, or they will be nailed to the pillar of historical shame forever,” Ms. Sun said. The city’s authorities have raced to meet these instructions by setting up makeshift mass quarantine shelters this week. (source)
Note that these quarantine shelters are not hospitals.
But concerns are growing about whether the centers, which will house thousands of people in large spaces, will be able to provide even basic care to patients and protect against the risk of further infection. (source)
They’re taking a page out of the Hurricane Katrina handbook and using sports arenas to house the less seriously ill.
The city has set up makeshift shelters in a sports stadium, an exhibition center and a building complex. Some went into operation on Thursday. The shelters are meant for housing coronavirus patients with milder symptoms, the government has said… …Photos taken inside the Hongshan sports stadium showed narrow rows of simple beds separated only by desks and chairs typically used in classrooms. Some comments on Chinese social media compared the scenes to those from the Spanish flu in 1918. A widely shared post on Weibo, a popular social media site, said on Thursday that “conditions were very poor” at an exhibition center that had been converted into a quarantine facility. There were power failures and electric blankets could not be turned on, the user wrote, citing a relative who had been taken there, saying that people had to “shiver in their sleep.” There was also a staff shortage, the post said, where “doctors and nurses were not seen to be taking note of symptoms and distributing medicine,” and oxygen devices were “seriously lacking.” (source)
And you’re going whether you want to or not.
When Ms. Sun inspected one of the shelters, set up in Hongshan Stadium on Tuesday, she emphasized that anyone who should be admitted must be rounded up, according to a Chinese news outlet, Modern Express. “It must be cut off from the source!” she said of the virus. “You must keep a close eye! Don’t miss it!” (source)
Let’s be honest – it sounds like the “quarantine shelters” are where they take people to die.
People are being sealed into their apartments.
According to the BBC, people are being imprisoned in their own homes.
…shocking videos have been shared on social media in China showing residents being barricaded inside their own homes by groups of people using wooden boards and nails to keep their doors shut and prevent them from leaving.In one shocking video a metal bar appears to have been welded across a resident’s front door with gap wide enough that food can be handed to residents, but too small for them to leave. One person shared footage online writing: “Two videos show all floors of a residential building in Jiangsu-China were blocked by welding fence because a confirmed case found in it.” Another person said residents were being imprisoned in their own homes “by the police,” sharing several videos of workmen sealing up doors with warning signs next to them. (source)
Here’s a video of authorities welding closed the gates to an apartment block.
And this Tweet shows a floor in a residential building being closed off by welded bars.

Dead people are being taken straight to crematoriums.
There are many rumors that suggest crematoriums are running day and night to dispose of bodies – many of which were never tested for the coronavirus. This, of course, casts extreme doubt on the number of deaths by the virus being publicly admitted by China.
Zero Hedge reports:
Last Saturday, Radio Free Asia (RFA) tweeted a disturbing video detailing how those who died of coronavirus were loaded up on a bus and taken “directly to the crematorium.” …DW News East Asia correspondent William Yang cited a report from the Chinese-language news outlet Initium, which said cremation facilities in Wuhan were receiving bodies directly from hospitals without proper identification and were excluded from the official record… …State-run Global Times tweeted last week that “victims should be cremated close by and immediately. Burials or transfer of the bodies not allowed. Funerals not allowed to avoid spread of the virus.” (source)
And eerily:
The Daily Star reports that “thick fog” across the city could be the result of smoke from crematoriums burning coronavirus-infected bodies “24 hours a day”. (source)
For the record, even the Wall Street Journal suggests the death toll is inaccurate, citing numerous relatives who reported the death certificates of their loved ones cited pneumonia as the cause of death instead of coronavirus.
This is a nightmare, covered by a blanket of lies.
It would be incredibly difficult to convince me that we’re getting the truth from China, something I’ve noted since this outbreak first appeared on our radar in the US.
Would China be resorting to these extreme and dystopian measures if only 300 people or so had died? Would crematoriums be running non-stop if only 300 people had died? Would they be willing to take this massive hit to their economy and their global reputation if only 300 or so people out of 1.3 billion had died?
It’s possible that a news outlet called Tencent “accidentally” posted the real numbers last Saturday for just a few seconds.
But the biggest hit to the narrative and China’s officially reported epidemic numbers came overnight, when a slip up in China’s TenCent may have revealed the true extent of the coronavirus epidemic on the mainland. And it is nothing short than terrifying. As the Taiwan Times reports, over the weekend, “Tencent seems to have inadvertently released what is potentially the actual number of infections and deaths, which were astronomically higher than official figures“, and were far closer to the catastrophic epidemic projections made by Jonathan Read. According to the report, late on Saturday evening, Tencent, on its webpage titled “Epidemic Situation Tracker”, showed confirmed cases of novel coronavirus (2019nCoV) in China as standing at 154,023, 10 times the official figure at the time. It listed the number of suspected cases as 79,808, four times the official figure. And while the number of cured cases was only 269, well below the official number that day of 300, most ominously, the death toll listed was 24,589, vastly higher than the 300 officially listed that day. Moments later, Tencent updated the numbers to reflect the government’s “official” numbers that day. This was not the first time Tencent has done this: as Taiwan Times notes, Chinese netizens have noticed that Tencent has on at least three occasions posted extremely high numbers, only to quickly lower them to government-approved statistics. This is where it gets even more bizarre: contrary to claiming that this was just a “fat finger” mistyping of data, observant Chinese netizens also noticed that each time the screen with the large numbers appears, it shows a comparison with the previous day’s data which demonstrates a “reasonable” incremental increase, much like comparisons of official numbers. (source)
Since this is the 4th time this has happened, who thinks that someone at Tencent is trying to get the REAL numbers out into the world?
If their “oops” numbers are correct, as of Saturday there were:
Confirmed cases: 154,023 (Officially: 14,446)
Suspected Cases: 79,808 (Officially: 19,544)
Cured cases: 269 (Officially: 351)
Death Toll: 24,589 (Officially: 304)
This would sure make a lot more sense than the party line, considering the measures the Chinese have taken to corral the virus.
Whatever the truth is, we can be assured that the situation in China is ugly. We do know that people are being forcibly quarantined, medical care is only available for a small percentage of sick people, infected people are being rounded up, dead people are being rapidly cremated, and there is a shortage of supplies.
While this virus has mostly hit mainland China, there are enough cases outside the mainland for the World Health Organization to declare a global emergency. At this point, the United States has only a handful of confirmed cases, but preparations are being made for a much larger outbreak, such as hospital staff being prepped with protocols and declaring a public health emergency.
Never think for a moment that dystopian measures can’t happen here.
Your best bet is to be prepared to self-quarantine if the virus takes hold in the United States as it has in China. It’s pretty clear that Chinese citizens cannot rely on their government to protect them. It wouldn’t take that many cases for our medical system here to become completely overwhelmed.
As with most crises, the only person you can truly rely on is yourself.

“Green energy” is just one giant grift operation.
From Bloomberg, “Wind Turbine Blades Can’t Be Recycled, So They’re Piling Up in Landfills”:
A wind turbine’s blades can be longer than a Boeing 747 wing, so at the end of their lifespan they can’t just be hauled away. First, you need to saw through the lissome fiberglass using a diamond-encrusted industrial saw to create three pieces small enough to be strapped to a tractor-trailer. The municipal landfill in Casper, Wyoming, is the final resting place of 870 blades whose days making renewable energy have come to end. […]
A wind turbine’s blades can be longer than a Boeing 747 wing. But where do they end up when they aren’t in use? Landfills in Iowa, Wyoming and South Dakota https://t.co/tPSRSQINiu — Bloomberg (@business) February 5, 2020
Tens of thousands of aging blades are coming down from steel towers around the world and most have nowhere to go but landfills. In the U.S. alone, about 8,000 will be removed in each of the next four years. Europe, which has been dealing with the problem longer, has about 3,800 coming down annually through at least 2022, according to BloombergNEF. It’s going to get worse: Most were built more than a decade ago, when installations were less than a fifth of what they are now. Built to withstand hurricane-force winds, the blades can’t easily be crushed, recycled or repurposed. That’s created an urgent search for alternatives in places that lack wide-open prairies. In the U.S., they go to the handful of landfills that accept them, in Lake Mills, Iowa; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Casper, where they will be interred in stacks that reach 30 feet under. “The wind turbine blade will be there, ultimately, forever,” said Bob Cappadona, chief operating officer for the North American unit of Paris-based Veolia Environnement SA, which is searching for better ways to deal with the massive waste. “Most landfills are considered a dry tomb.”
Wind turbines really are the ultimate example of phony “liberal” environmentalism.
They’re highly inefficient (only in the past few years was it realized there’s such a thing as “wind shortages” and “wind droughts”), deadly to birds, disturbing to wildlife, loud as hell and completely destroy what would otherwise be picturesque scenes of nature.
Nonetheless, city-dwelling “liberals” glance at them out of the window of their Teslas and think they’re beautiful.

activistpost--2020-02-07--California Pumps the Brakes on Anti-Gig Work Law

We warned months ago that California ’ s AB5 would be a death sentence to the gig economy .

We warned months ago that California’s AB5 would be a death sentence to the gig economy. It appears California lawmakers are finally taking notice.
California Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, a champion of the legislation, today announced that efforts were being made to scale back AB5, which had resulted in the termination of many freelance writers and sparked lawsuits across multiple industries.
“In the next few weeks, we will be rolling out a number of asks, initiatives and bill language to help ease the implementation of AB5 and make clarifications to the law based on hundreds of meetings and discussions with individuals and groups,” tweeted Gonzalez, a Democrat who represents the 80th Assembly District, which encompasses southern San Diego.
In the next few weeks, we will be rolling out a number of asks, initiatives and bill language to help ease the implementation of AB5 and make clarifications to the law based on hundreds of meetings and discussions with individuals and groups. 1/ — Lorena (@LorenaSGonzalez) February 6, 2020
The legislation, passed in September, was pitched as an effort to protect contract workers, specifically employees for companies such as Lyft, DoorDash, and Uber who rely heavily on gig workers rather than full-time employees. But such “protection” came at a high price. Freelance journalists and media creators got hit with arbitrary limits on how much they can write (35 pieces a year, for many).
Gonzalez, who last week told USA Today she feels “for anyone who has lost income” but does not support a full repeal of the law, said the decision was reached after “dozens of meetings” with workers affected by the legislation. The meetings included freelance journalists and photographers, as well as representatives of the music industry and visual media companies like Getty and Shutterstock.
While the decision to scale back AB5 is no doubt heartening to freelance photographers, musicians, and journalists trying to make a living, one wonders why they have to seek legislative permission from Assemblywoman Gonzalez and her colleagues in the California’s state legislature to work as they please.
Moreover, the revisions Assemblywoman Gonzalez suggest make no mention of the thousands of Lyft and Uber drivers impacted by the legislation.
While gig work may not be for everyone, it does come with perks–including independence and flexible scheduling. It helps many people make ends meet as they pursue their passion.
As Brittany Hunter wrote the day AB5 passed, individuals should be free to decide the nature of their relationship with their employer.

activistpost--2020-02-07--Tencent App May Have Leaked Real Figures Of Coronavirus In China; 400 Million Locked Down In Cities

A Chinese website called Tencent displayed a web page titled “ Epidemic Situation Tracker , ” briefly showing data on the novel coronavirus ( 2019-nCoV ) in China that was much higher than official estimates , before suddenly switching to lower numbers multiple times , Taiwan News reported .
Many feel that Tencent is inadvertently leaking the “ real ” figures of those who have been killed and infected .
On Jan. 26th , the website began to display there were much higher estimates of those killed and infected according to Hiroki Lo , a 38-year-old Taiwanese beverage store owner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Lo posted the purported “ real ” statistics to Facebook writing the following in Chinese .
Over the weekend on Feb. 1st , the Tencent web page showed another mix up of statistics listing confirmed cases of the Wuhan virus in China at 154,023 , 10 times the official figure at the time .
It also listed the number of suspected cases as 79,808 , four times the official figure at the time , while the number of cured cases was only 269 , well below the official number that day of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ listed was a shocking 24,589 , vastly higher than the 300 officially listed that day .
Since then , officially the death toll is now 630 people with the amount of infected at 31,000+ globally , according to the Johns Hopkins tracker of the coronavirus at the time of this report .
Although , experts have disputed the numbers in China and worldwide , stating that more than 100,000 people could have been infected with the virus as of January 26th , the same date that Tencent may have screwed up publishing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported .
Another claim by a Twitter user , who states in their bio they are a Taiwan-based political analyst , shared a screen grab which purported to show the death toll at 12,781 at around 8:30 pm on January 27th .
The official death toll on the day was 80 .
A crematorium worker in the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak revealed the long working hours he and his colleagues are putting in to transfer bodies from hospitals and private homes , adding it ’ s up to 100 body bags a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan ’ s three main hospitals plus other small hospitals , as well as private residences according to the whistleblower .
“ Since Jan. 28 , 90 percent of our employees are working 24/7 … we couldn ’ t go back home , ” Yun told The Epoch Times .
A team of public health experts led by Professor Neil Ferguson , stated they believed that the reproduction rate of spread was 2.5-3 , meaning that each person infected would potentially transmit it to up to three others .
This was when the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people was 2,000 .
That number then jumped up rapidly since .
“ My best guess now is perhaps 100,000 cases right now , ” Professor Neil Ferguson , a public health expert at Imperial College said at the time on January 26th .
He added , “ Although it could be between 30,000 and 200,000 .
“ Almost certainly many tens of thousands of people are infected.
” Several medical doctors allegedly in China have said much of the same , as Activist Post reported previously , stating that China was covering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least 100,000 had been infected with the new flu-like virus .
Beyond that , China has now locked down 400 million people in its country in a total of 60 cities since an initial quarantine of 60 million people during the first few days the virus was being reported .
Guangzhou , the capital of China ’ s southwestern Guangdong Province and the country ’ s fifth largest city with nearly 15 million residents , has just joined the ranks of cities imposing a mandatory lockdown on all citizens , effectively trapping residents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ permission to venture into the outside world to buy essential supplies .
The decision means 3 provinces , 60 cities and 400 million people are now facing China ’ s most-strict level of lockdown as Beijing struggles to contain the coronavirus outbreak as the virus has already spread to more than 2 dozen countries .
That ’ s more than 400 million people forcibly locked inside their homes for 638 deaths ?
Just think about that : If there was ever a reason to believe that Beijing is lying about the numbers ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the real data ) , this is it .
China is also being accused of lying to the public about the figures of those infected by many sources like the Wall Street Journal , and even Chinese media which was censored for spreading that thought .
China recently censored a media outlet called Caijing , which is one of the most reputable outlets in the country .
In the article , the authors claim that China has significantly under reported both the cases and deaths , especially among the elderly .
( archive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a report by the Wall Street Journal that Chinese doctors are saying coronavirus cases are pneumonia or another sickness to hide the official count .
Yahoo News also reports that Wuhan officials are cremating deceased coronavirus victims before they can be added to the official death toll .
Dr. Francis Boyle a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law and the man who drafted the Biological Weapons Act of 1989 , recently said in an explosive interview with Geopolitics and Empire that the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan likely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city .
Boyle stated in the interview that he believes the virus is potentially lethal and an offensive biological warfare weapon or dual-use biowarfare weapons agent genetically modified with function properties .
Boyle also touched on a fact this reporter stated previously — how Chinese biowarfare agents working at the Canadian lab in Winnipeg were involved in the smuggling of coronavirus to Wuhan ’ s lab in July of last year .
As a further fun fact , the Washington Times reported that Wuhan is also the site of two Chinese biological labs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Israeli military intelligence officer who has studied Chinese biowarfare .
The report suggests the virus was either accidentally let out or deliberately .
If true , it would explain how the coronavius evolved so fast to jump from animals to humans .
When the Washington Times asked Shoham whether the new coronavirus may have leaked , Mr. Shoham said : What ’ s more , the lab was officially working with different strains of coronavirus , as well as other deadly illnesses like Ebola , beginning in 2018 .
This lab is just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ market where the first case of the coronavirus is believed to be transmitted .
Before the lab opened , scientists all over the world were voicing concerns about the potential dangers .
An article was even published in the science journal Nature in 2017 , detailing the plans for the lab and sharing expert opinions about how a dangerous bug could leak from the facility .
In fact , the SARS virus has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times .
Interestingly enough , in 2004 , China punished five top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Control and Prevention ( CDC ) for the outbreak of SARS .
The investigation found that the release of the virus was due to the negligence of two CDC employees who were infected and was not deliberate , China Daily reported .
Lancet medical journal recently published a study finding that many of the first cases of the novel coronavirus , including patient zero , had no connection to the wet market , leading many including Boyle to speculate with grandiose evidence listed above that the virus may have been a bio accident @ @ @ @ @ @ @ England Journal of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health continue to investigate .
Are there really over 100,000 people now infected in China alone ?
Was the virus origin a bio-weapon or an accident that escaped the lab ?
The truth of the matter is we don ’ t know ; what we do know is that people should be allowed to freely share information and be prepared not scared into intimidation and arrested like cases in China , Malaysia and Thailand .
Further , reporters — especially those of us in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is presented , and if it is speculation call it as such ; don ’ t scare the public , use your platform to inform not drive fear .
There is nothing wrong with questioning the narrative , especially one coming out of China .
There is an issue with staying silent and drinking the Chinese Communist Party kool-aid about official numbers , while evidence points elsewhere .
With that said , the figures presented above could have been digitally altered using inspect element , as Daily Mail reported .
But if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they have , that becomes less likely .
If the numbers from the alleged Tencent leak prove to be accurate , it would put this coronavirus mortality rate at almost 16 % .
By comparison , SARS ’ mortality rate was 9.6 % .
The fact that anyone would be arrested for spreading information not sanctioned by governments , when everyone is on edge and wondering what is happening , is in itself insanity — welcome to the Ministry Of Truth .
Especially if China is lying about the official number of cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a high probability considering they lied about SARS prior , which was a biological accident 3 out of the 4 times according to the World Health Organization .
Symptoms of the coronavirus include a fever , cough , shortness of breath , and breathing difficulties .
However , according to Chinese state media , some are not experiencing any of these symptoms and are instead experiencing nausea , diarrhea , tiredness , bad concentration , headache , irregular heartbeat , chest pain , cornea inflammation , and muscular pains in the limbs , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measures include washing your hands , and avoiding public places where someone may be sick , according to the CDC .

As a further fun fact, the Washington Times reported that Wuhan is also the site of two Chinese biological labs according to Dany Shoham, a former Israeli military intelligence officer who has studied Chinese biowarfare. The report suggests the virus was either accidentally let out or deliberately. If true, it would explain how the coronavius evolved so fast to jump from animals to humans.
When the Washington Times asked Shoham whether the new coronavirus may have leaked, Mr. Shoham said:
In principle, outward virus infiltration might take place either as leakage or as an indoor unnoticed infection of a person that normally went out of the concerned facility. This could have been the case with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but so far there isn’t evidence or indication for such incident.
What’s more, the lab was officially working with different strains of coronavirus, as well as other deadly illnesses like Ebola, beginning in 2018. This lab is just 20 miles away from the Huanan wet market where the first case of the coronavirus is believed to be transmitted.
Before the lab opened, scientists all over the world were voicing concerns about the potential dangers. An article was even published in the science journal Nature in 2017, detailing the plans for the lab and sharing expert opinions about how a dangerous bug could leak from the facility.

Lancet medical journal recently published a study finding that many of the first cases of the novel coronavirus, excluding patient zero, had no connection to the wet market, leading many including Boyle to speculate with grandiose evidence listed above that the virus may have been a bio accident. Other DNA sleuths at the New England Journal of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health continue to investigate.
Are there really over 100,000 people now infected in China alone? Was the virus origin a bio-weapon or an accident that escaped the lab? The truth of the matter is we don’t know; what we do know is that people should be allowed to freely share information and be prepared not scared into intimidation and arrested like cases in China, Malaysia and Thailand. Further, reporters — especially those of us in alternative media — should report the evidence that is presented, and if it is speculation call it as such; don’t scare the public, use your platform to inform not drive fear.
There is nothing wrong with questioning the narrative, especially one coming out of China. There is an issue with staying silent and drinking the Chinese Communist Party kool-aid about official numbers, while evidence points elsewhere. With that said, the figures presented above could have been digitally altered using inspect element, as Daily Mail reported. But if multiple people were reporting it, and they have, that becomes less likely.
If the numbers from the alleged Tencent leak prove to be accurate, it would put this coronavirus mortality rate at almost 16%. By comparison, SARS’ mortality rate was 9.6%.

activistpost--2020-02-07--Wickard v. Filburn: The Supreme Court Case That Gave the Federal Government Nearly Unlimited Power

Every presidential election in the United States follows a clear formula .
First , many people with absolutely no chance of winning the presidency declare their candidacies .
Those who get washed out of the race late in the game see their fortunes rise , which was their goal from the first .
Second , candidates with even a chance at winning their party ’ s nomination drift to the outer fringe of their party ’ s ideology .
For Democrats this year , that means appealing to the most progressive of the progressive wing of their party .
Finally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two candidates , each of them will converge in the middle , eschewing the ideological members of their own parties .
This is so common that every politically observant American is fully aware of what is happening .
But this dyed-in-the-wool process obscures the most pernicious element of every presidential campaign , which sees both the candidates and the voters they hope to attract ignoring the Constitution at every turn .
To the shame of both groups , they don ’ t even seem to realize what they ’ re doing .
Presidential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from Bernie Sanders ’ s plan to move to single-payer health care to Donald Trump ’ s plan for a wall on our southern border to Elizabeth Warren ’ s plans for just about everything else .
But nearly all of these plans are unconstitutional twice over : not only are presidents not given the authority to do these things , but the federal government itself is also not empowered to do these things .
The Constitution creates a government of enumerated powers , which means the federal government is only authorized to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Constitution .
And that list is relatively short .
The list appears in Article One , Section Eight and enumerates the proper objects of congressional legislation .
Congress can : • borrow money , coin money , regulate its value , and punish counterfeiters • regulate commerce with foreign nations , among the states , and with Indian tribes • suppress insurrections , repel invasions , declare war , raise an army , maintain a navy , and make rules for the army and navy • organize the Militia ( leaving to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the authority of training the Militias ) That ’ s it .
This is all the Constitution permits the federal government to do .
Consider the United States ’ ill-advised flirtation with Prohibition—which was enacted almost exactly 100 years ago .
Nowhere in the Article One , Section Eight powers does one see the authority to “ ban the manufacture , transport , or sales of alcohol within the United States.
” When Americans decided that they wanted a coast-to-coast ban on alcohol , they amended the Constitution to give the federal government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Americans came to their senses and revoked this authority by amending the Constitution again .
The 21st Amendment was the only amendment ever ratified for the purpose of undoing a previous amendment .
But notice the difficulties that honest people faced when trying to accomplish a pervasive political goal .
As of 1933 , when the 21st Amendment was ratified , Americans still had a constitutionally limited federal government and what Justice Louis Brandeis famously called “ laboratories of democracy ” in the states .
The purpose of limiting the federal government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put the lion ’ s share of governance in state hands .
Each state would govern somewhat differently and , in so doing , the nation would be a huge experiment in democracy .
States that governed well would gain businesses and population .
States that governed poorly would lose .
By observing what other states did well , each state could learn how to govern better .

By Antony Davies and James R. Harrigan
Every presidential election in the United States follows a clear formula. First, many people with absolutely no chance of winning the presidency declare their candidacies. Those who get washed out of the race late in the game see their fortunes rise, which was their goal from the first. Second, candidates with even a chance at winning their party’s nomination drift to the outer fringe of their party’s ideology. For Democrats this year, that means appealing to the most progressive of the progressive wing of their party. Finally, when the race is set with two candidates, each of them will converge in the middle, eschewing the ideological members of their own parties.
This is so common that every politically observant American is fully aware of what is happening. But this dyed-in-the-wool process obscures the most pernicious element of every presidential campaign, which sees both the candidates and the voters they hope to attract ignoring the Constitution at every turn. To the shame of both groups, they don’t even seem to realize what they’re doing.
Presidential candidates lay out their respective agendas, from Bernie Sanders’s plan to move to single-payer health care to Donald Trump’s plan for a wall on our southern border to Elizabeth Warren’s plans for just about everything else. But nearly all of these plans are unconstitutional twice over: not only are presidents not given the authority to do these things, but the federal government itself is also not empowered to do these things.
Enumerated Powers
The Constitution creates a government of enumerated powers, which means the federal government is only authorized to do things that are specifically listed in the Constitution. And that list is relatively short. The list appears in Article One, Section Eight and enumerates the proper objects of congressional legislation. Congress can:
borrow money, coin money, regulate its value, and punish counterfeiters
regulate commerce with foreign nations, among the states, and with Indian tribes
establish rules for naturalization and bankruptcy
establish Post Offices and Post Roads
issue patents and copyrights
establish courts inferior to the Supreme Court
punish pirates
suppress insurrections, repel invasions, declare war, raise an army, maintain a navy, and make rules for the army and navy
organize the Militia (leaving to the states the appointment of officers and the authority of training the Militias)
That’s it. This is all the Constitution permits the federal government to do.
Consider the United States’ ill-advised flirtation with Prohibition—which was enacted almost exactly 100 years ago. Nowhere in the Article One, Section Eight powers does one see the authority to “ban the manufacture, transport, or sales of alcohol within the United States.” When Americans decided that they wanted a coast-to-coast ban on alcohol, they amended the Constitution to give the federal government this authority. Fourteen dry years later, Americans came to their senses and revoked this authority by amending the Constitution again. The 21st Amendment was the only amendment ever ratified for the purpose of undoing a previous amendment. But notice the difficulties that honest people faced when trying to accomplish a pervasive political goal.
Constitutionally Limited Federal Government
As of 1933, when the 21st Amendment was ratified, Americans still had a constitutionally limited federal government and what Justice Louis Brandeis famously called “laboratories of democracy” in the states. The purpose of limiting the federal government’s authority so severely was to put the lion’s share of governance in state hands. Each state would govern somewhat differently and, in so doing, the nation would be a huge experiment in democracy.
States that governed well would gain businesses and population. States that governed poorly would lose. By observing what other states did well, each state could learn how to govern better. By losing businesses and population, each state would have an incentive to act on what it learned. The “laboratories of democracy” brought to Americans’ political lives what market competition brought to their economic lives.
But who ended up being tasked with deciding what Article One, Section Eight actually meant? Herein lies the wrinkle that enables all manner of constitutional mischief in the United States. The institution that ended up deciding what the federal government is empowered to do is itself a branch of the federal government. And it should come as no surprise that when push comes to shove, the Supreme Court routinely finds in favor of empowering the federal government.
This sort of mischief flowered fully in the decade following ratification of the 21st Amendment. In 1942, the Supreme Court decided a case, Wickard v. Filburn, in which farmer Roscoe Filburn ran afoul of a federal law that limited how much wheat he was allowed to grow.
Regulating The Wheat Market
A careful reader might, and should, ask where the federal government’s right to legislate the wheat market is to be found—because the word “wheat” is nowhere to be found in the Constitution. Be that as it may, the federal government’s aim was clear enough. It was to keep the price of wheat high enough for farmers to remain profitable. The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 put an upper limit on how much wheat farmers were allowed to grow, which would serve to keep prices high by limiting supply.
Roscoe Filburn had grown 12 more acres of wheat than the law allowed. But not only did he not sell the excess wheat outside of his home state, but he also didn’t sell it at all. He used the wheat from those 12 acres to feed his cattle.
Filburn was very clearly not engaging in commerce, let alone interstate commerce, yet the Supreme Court found (unanimously) that because Congress had the authority to regulate interstate commerce, Congress also had the authority to prohibit Filburn from growing those 12 acres of wheat for his own use. The Supreme Court’s “reasoning”?Had Filburn not fed his cattle that excess wheat, he would have been forced to purchase wheat on the open market. And even if he purchased wheat that was grown within his home state, doing so would have made less wheat available within his home state for other wheat buyers. Consequently, some wheat buyers within his home state would then have had to buy wheat from outside the state. Therefore, Filburn’s non-commercial activity was, according to the Supreme Court, interstate commerce.
Interstate Commerce
The mental gymnastics that went into this ruling made just about any activity interstate commerce by definition. Since Wickard, any time Congress has wanted to exercise power not authorized by the Constitution, lawmakers have simply had to make an argument that links whatever they want to accomplish to interstate commerce. Why? Because they know they can get away with it.
So today we have NASA, the FDA, the USDA, the EPA, federally subsidized student loans, Medicare, Medicaid, a federal minimum wage, and hundreds of other federal agencies, programs, and initiatives. Some of these do, indeed, involve interstate commerce. Many do not. A century ago, we amended the Constitution when we wanted the federal government to exercise a new authority—that of banning alcohol.
Today, we allow Congress to exercise almost any authority it likes. Further, we allow Congress to hand its authority over to unelected bureaucrats. So, whereas regulating alcohol required amending the Constitution, regulating marijuana requires only legislation. Regulating prescription medicines requires only bureaucratic action.
We have progressed so far down the path of reinterpreting the Constitution as a document that empowers government, rather than one that limits it, that unelected bureaucrats today exercise power that the Constitution even withholds from Congress. This is troubling even when those bureaucrats are benevolent, altruistic, informed, and intelligent. But when they aren’t, it is extremely dangerous.
And as if all that weren’t bad enough, we now have presidential candidates detailing their agendas to the voting public. If Congress, enabled by the Supreme Court, has overstepped its constitutional bounds, the presidency has eclipsed the very definition of the office. The president heads the executive branch of government. Its role, by definition, is to execute the laws that Congress passes. But presidential candidates present themselves in legislative terms. They do this almost every time they offer a “plan” for anything.
Nearly Limitless Government Power
Congress is charged with the legislative function, and this they are intended to exercise within a constitutional framework deliberately designed to make that job exceedingly difficult. Why were things designed this way? To limit the ability of the federal government to do much of anything without extremely broad support. This is what safeguards the rights of the individual.
When Roscoe Filburn’s right to grow wheat on his own land to feed his own cattle was violated, the rest of this was largely a foregone conclusion.
The sad result has been a government nearly limitless in its power. Sadder still is what this has done to our elections: Every four years, the American people ask candidates for more things neither the president nor Congress is constitutionally authorized to deliver. And this encourages a brand of candidate to run for office who is willing to ignore the Constitution in exchange for winning elections.
The first step to stopping this process lies in reading, understanding, and applying the Constitution of the United States. This means, first and foremost, placing the legislative function in the hands of Congress alone and taking seriously Article One, Section Eight.
It means, in short, limiting government again.


activistpost--2020-02-07--NYC Approves More 5G on Streetlamps, Traffic Poles, and Fiber Despite Health and Technical Issues

The first 5G moratorium request from doctors and scientists was issued in 2017 .
In 2018 5G technology was installed in some New York neighborhoods anyway and residents and their pets immediately started experiencing symptoms from exposure .
This was reported on social media by Dr. Naomi Wolf .
Since 2018 , more health issues have been reported where 5G has been installed and turned on ( see 1 , 2 , 3 ) .
This is to be expected .
In February 2019 the telecom industry admitted they have NO scientific evidence that it ’ s safe and many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it isn ’ t .
Engineers have also warned that base stations tend to overheat .
How not safe is that ?
Regardless , misinformation about safety has been reported by many publications including the New York Times who coincidentally partnered with Verizon for a 5G Journalism Lab in 2019 .
Because of reporting misinformation , one NYT reporter is now being accused of violating a truth and accuracy code by the Press Council of Ireland .
( LMAO ) In December 2019 , another 5G moratorium request was submitted to President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for 5G ” continues thanks to many of elected officials and government employees .
Now New York City has approved 5G in streetlamps , traffic poles and also fiber for 5G .
Recently , the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications approved 10 franchise agreements with several companies to install 5G equipment on streetlamps and some traffic-light poles .
Allowing wireless equipment on its streetlamps isn ’ t something new for New York City .
It ’ s been allowing this for 15 years .
The effort has resulted in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more in the pipeline — by franchisees throughout the five boroughs .
Of course all sources of cell phone and wireless WiFi radiation – 1G through 4G – are also biologically and environmentally harmful .
Pollution from all sources of Electromagnetic Radiation ( “ Electrosmog ” ) was also a big problem before 5G .
Unfortunately , The “ Race for 5G ” promotes and allows for hundreds of thousands if not millions of radiation-emitting small cells to be installed anyway as well as satellites being sent into space to blast 5G at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because of this .
In fact , some cities and countries have banned it .

From FierceWireless:
Recently, the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications approved 10 franchise agreements with several companies to install 5G equipment on streetlamps and some traffic-light poles. […] Allowing wireless equipment on its streetlamps isn’t something new for New York City. It’s been allowing this for 15 years. The effort has resulted in nearly 6,000 pole installations — with 5,000 more in the pipeline — by franchisees throughout the five boroughs. Read entire article HERE.
Of course all sources of cell phone and wireless WiFi radiation – 1G through 4G – are also biologically and environmentally harmful. Pollution from all sources of Electromagnetic Radiation (“Electrosmog”) was also a big problem before 5G. Unfortunately, The “Race for 5G” promotes and allows for hundreds of thousands if not millions of radiation-emitting small cells to be installed anyway as well as satellites being sent into space to blast 5G at Earth. Worldwide opposition continues to increase because of this. In fact, some cities and countries have banned it.
