A European group said on Wednesday they will soon release technology for smartphones so people can find out if they’ve come in contact with anyone infected with coronavirus.
Those without smartphones could wear Bluetooth-enabled armbands, according to The European initiative, called Pan-European Privacy Preserving Proximity Tracing (PEPP-PT).
“The initiative involves gathering data via smartphones to show who a person with the virus had come in close contact with, so that those people at risk could then be contacted,” Reuters reported.
PEPP-PT, which brings together 130 researchers from eight countries, aims to issue a licensed technology platform by April 7, the basis for contact-tracing applications, with roll-out of the first apps a week or so after that. “You are talking about a very short space of time,” said Hans-Christian Boos, founder of German technology firm Arago and a member of the German government’s digital advisory council. Boos is a prime mover behind the effort gathering 130 researchers from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. Epidemiologists say contact tracing will become a vital weapon in containing future flare-ups in COVID-19, the flu-like disease caused by coronavirus, once national lockdowns slow the rapid spread of the virus.
The British government is also working on a similar app.
“The existence of the app, which was first revealed by Health Service Journal, has been known some time, but key technical details have only recently been agreed by NHSX, the NHS England innovation unit leading the project,” Sky News reported.

It is always good to pause and look at the actual data and not the ever-changing “models” the “experts” continue to throw at us.
We posted on the current coronavirus numbers in a previous post today.
Now this from our friend Steve at Grassfire
The CDC’s “Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality Surveillance” website reports that there have been more than 80,000 P&I (pneumonia and influenza) deaths during the current 2019-2020 flu season. This is far more than is currently being discussed by government leaders or the media. We heard this on a John Hoover video, had trouble believing it, so we went to the CDC website and downloaded the data (you can do the same, but we’ve done it here). In 2020 alone, there have been nearly 43,000 P&I deaths. And we didn’t shut down society, shelter in place, curl up in the fetal position under our kitchen tables, only wandering out to go to Walmart, or Home Depot, or for drive through fast food. And it appears that there was an accelerated outbreak of the flu starting in January, about the time it is likely COVID came into the country.
As Steve reported there was a curious bump in deaths at the beginning of the year.
What would explain this?
The president’s coronavirus task force owes it to the American public to be honest with them.
Millions and millions of Americans are going to lose their jobs, their homes and their savings.
These so-called “experts” owe the American public an explanation and not just ever-changing models to terrify the masses.


thegatewaypundit--2020-04-01--Trump Just Might Turn ‘The Woman From Michigan’ Into Biden’s Running Mate

President Trump has single-handedly thrust a mostly unknown politician into the spotlight — and she might just wind up being Joseph R. Biden ’ s running mate , bashing him relentlessly until Nov. 3 .
During his daily press briefing last Friday , Trump complained about not getting enough credit for his administration ’ s response to the coronavirus pandemic .
“ When they ’ re not appreciative to me , they ’ re not appreciative to the Army Corps .
They ’ re not appreciative to FEMA .
It ’ s not right .
These people are incredible .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ day , ” he said .
“ Mike Pence , I don ’ t think he sleeps any more .
These are people that should be appreciated.
” Then he got personal .
“ I mean , I ’ m a different type of person .
I say , ‘ Mike , don ’ t call the governor of Washington .
You ’ re wasting your time with him .
Don ’ t call the woman in Michigan.
’ All — it doesn ’ t make any difference what happens , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ DC ’ s Coronavirus Shutdown , Ruth Bader Ginsburg Meets Trainer for Workouts at Supreme Court Gym And he went on about “ the woman from Michigan.
” “ Michigan , all she does is — she has no idea what ’ s going on .
And all she does is say , ‘ Oh , it ’ s the federal government ’ s fault.
’ And we ’ ve taken such great care of Michigan , ” Trump said .
How big ?
On March 5 , her odds of being selected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 33/1 .
By March 20 , she ’ d risen to 16/1 .
On Tuesday , she was a 10/1 shot .
Trump has continued to put Whitmer front and center in the race to join Biden , the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee , on the ticket .
And the president is keeping up the heat .
He later referred to her as “ Gretchen ‘ Half ’ Whitmer ” in a tweet and said she is “ way in over her head , ” “ doesn ’ t have a clue ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own ineptitude !
” But Trump is playing with fire .
Whitmer , 48 , is barely known even within circles of political pundits and pollsters , but she ’ s seen by top power brokers as a rising star in the Democratic Party .
A lawyer whose father was the president of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and whose mother was an assistant state attorney general , she ’ s real .
In 2016 , Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton lost Michigan , Pennsylvania and Wisconsin , which voted for former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will need to flip them back to the Democratic side to win in November .
But Whitmer ’ s addition to the ticket might just put Michigan , a state whose governorship she won by nearly 10 percentage points in 2018 , into the D column .
While many have never heard of her , she was selected to give the official Democratic response to Trump ’ s 2020 State of the Union address , considered a big honor .
And she has of late taken direct aim at Trump , complaining that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been lacking in her state .
Trump has been pushing the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine , which some doctors have said shows promise in treating COVID-19 , but Whitmer instructed medical workers in Michigan not to prescribe the medicine .
“ Prescribing any kind of prescription must also be associated with medical documentation showing proof of the medical necessity and medical condition for which the patient is being treated .
Again , these are drugs that have not been proven scientifically or medically to treat COVID-19 , ” said a letter from the Michigan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And Whitmer responded to Trump ’ s attacks on Twitter with a post that included a hand-waving emoji , writing , “ Hi , my name is Gretchen Whitmer , and that governor is me.
” Biden also defended Whitmer in a statement last week , saying Trump could “ learn a thing or two from Governor Whitmer — speed matters , details matter , and people matter.
” But the spotlight brings more scrutiny , and she ’ s had a few fumbles .
Last Friday , Whitmer urged Michiganders to “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic .
Um … locking arms is how the virus spreads .
She was widely mocked on social media .
Yet unlike many of the others contenders — and remember , Biden has vowed to pick a woman — Whitmer has said she doesn ’ t want the job .
“ I think it is important that he has a woman running mate , to be honest .
I think that there are a lot of phenomenal potential running mates for him , ” she said earlier this month on MSNBC .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me , but I am going to have a hand in helping make sure that he has the rounded-out ticket that can win.
” But turning down an offer to be the second-most powerful politician in the world doesn ’ t happen often .

APRIL FOOLS: China Coronavirus Insanity by the Numbers – Data Makes No Sense as Entire Industries and Millions of Lives Are Destroyed

It ’ s April Fools Day so it is fitting to dissect the numbers related to efforts to contain the China Coronavirus and the numbers on this day are a horrible joke .
As efforts to contain the virus continue in earnest , entire industries are destroyed .
It appears that no one is concerned about our future .
As of this morning , here is the picture of the number of cases logged around the world with the countries with the most confirmed cases in order : TRENDING : In Midst of DC ’ s Coronavirus Shutdown , Ruth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Supreme Court Gym Based on what we know , here are some numbers that are perfect for April Fools Day : 7.794 Billion – the number of people on this planet who are all in a panic and fearful of catching the China coronavirus .
872,893 – the number of individuals around the world who reportedly have been confirmed as contracting the coronavirus .
.01 % – the percent of the world population that has contracted the China coronavirus 188,592 – the number of confirmed cases in the US 7,251 – the number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clearly this number is not being maintained because it is way below that of other countries 2.2 % – the percent of deaths per confirmed cases in the US which is way below the average for the world at 5 % .
This is no doubt due to President Trump ’ s travel ban on China early on and perhaps the impact of the US beginning to use Chloroquine to treat the virus after the President fast tracked it through the medical bureaucracy .
81,554 – the total number of reported confirmed cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the coronavirus outbreak , since sometime last year – we really don ’ t know when this all started but believe it started in Wuhan .
14,108 – the number of confirmed cases China reported on February 12 , 2020 .
They have never reported any numbers close since or before this date .
( But the WHO and many medical enterprises are willing to use China ’ s data on the coronavirus ? )

24,000 – the estimated number of deaths in the US related @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

0 – the number of estimated coronavirus cases in the US who contracted the coronavirus but who have not been included in the coronavirus numbers .
In the initial reports coming from the Director General of the WHO when comparing the coronavirus fatality rate ( 3.4 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ % ) .
This comparison caused world panic and there have been no repercussions as a result even though the world economy has been destroyed as a result .
113 – the number of deaths from the flu in Hong Kong .
4 – the number of deaths from the China coronavirus in Hong Kong .
( Sadly this is consistent around the world but governments have shut down all commerce due to the China coronavirus and not the flu ? )
1 – the number of terrorists in the position of Director @ @ @ @ @ @ @ WHO ) .

( But of course the world uses the data from the WHO related to the China coronavirus as gospel . )
2 – the number of top government bureaucrats who are consulting President Trump but whose connections to the Clintons and Obama indicate conflicted alliances – doctors Fauci and Birx .
These two consistently have overstated the number of individuals who face @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be on a mission to instigate fear and panic more than anything else .
Thousands – the number of planes sitting on airport runways not flying due to lack of travel due to coronavirus policies .

thegatewaypundit--2020-04-02--104-Year-Old World War II Veteran Recovers From Coronavirus On His Birthday

How ’ s this for a Happy Birthday ?
At a spry 103-years-old , World War II veteran William Lapschies kicked Covid 19 and celebrated his 104th birthday at a nursing home in Lebanon , Oregon , where several other people had come down with the virus .
With balloons and signs , his family made sure to stay 6 feet away and celebrate with him at a distance .
Lapschies is likely the world ’ s oldest coronavirus survivor .
An Oregon veteran who celebrated his 104th birthday Wednesday could be one of the oldest people in the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lapschies , among the first Oregonians known to have the disease , has been declared free of the virus , said daughter Carolee Brown .
“ He is fully recovered .
He is very perky , ” Brown said .
“ And he is very excited.
” Not only is Lapschies thriving , he basked in the attention as Brown and other immediate family members clustered in the morning outside his window at the Edward C. Allworth Veterans ’ Home in Lebanon .
They brought balloons and a double-layered cake .
“ Because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
A light blue surgical mask hid half his face but his eyes crinkled at the corners to show he was smiling as he talked to his family in a courtyard outside the nursing home ’ s common area .
A caregiver had brought Lapschies out in a wheelchair to sit a proper distance away from the small semi-circle of people , but he still held forth , wearing a World War II veteran hat and dark blue jeans .
Lapschies ( pronounced Lap ’ -shees ) had a hard time hearing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a good mood .
He spoke slowly .
He laughed at just about everything .
Asked how he kicked the virus , Lapschies paused , serious for half a beat .
“ Oh , it just went away , ” he said , laughing again .
Soon it was time to return to his room .
“ Bye-bye , ” he said , his voice trailing off as a worker rolled him back .
“ Wooo !
” Two of 15 residents at the veterans home who tested positive have died , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an assisted living community near Seattle .
Nearly 30 senior care homes in Oregon have reported at least one coronavirus case .
Somehow , Lapschies made it .
While U.S. studies show that up to about 27 % of people over 85 with the coronavirus don ’ t make it , news reports from around the globe point to a handful of hardy survivors like Lapschies .
A 95-year-old Yamhill County man , also a veteran , has survived .
A 101-year-old man in Spain has survived , as have two 103-year-old women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran .
There was a moment when it wasn ’ t clear if the Salem-born World War II veteran would ride out the infection .
A few days after his March 10 diagnosis , a doctor at the nursing home , where Lapschies has lived for eight months , called Brown to say her father wasn ’ t doing well .
Lapschies ’ temperature had spiked and his breathing was labored .
The doctor and Brown talked about end-of-life decisions .
First thing the next morning , Brown drove the 28 miles from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Brown .
Brown attributes her father ’ s survival to his outlook on life : “ He has such an upbeat attitude .
He ’ s never down.
” Lapschies lived through another pandemic – he was born at Salem Hospital in 1916 and was 2 when influenza infected a third of the world ’ s population and killed at least 50 million people , including 675,000 in the United States .
He grew up in Salem , married Alamadean “ Deanie ” Buetell in 1939 and was drafted into the Army in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was born that same year , and an older daughter , Billie Jean , who was 2 .
He was stationed on a small island in the Aleutian Islands , where Brown said he helped dispatch trucks and heavy machinery .
The family kept the list of those attending Wednesday ’ s party small so everyone could easily stay at least 6 feet away from each other .
But , Brown said , her father ’ s 105th birthday party will be different .

Lapschies is likely the world’s oldest coronavirus survivor.
The Oregonian reports:
An Oregon veteran who celebrated his 104th birthday Wednesday could be one of the oldest people in the world to survive the new coronavirus.
William Lapschies, among the first Oregonians known to have the disease, has been declared free of the virus, said daughter Carolee Brown.
“He is fully recovered. He is very perky,” Brown said. “And he is very excited.”
Not only is Lapschies thriving, he basked in the attention as Brown and other immediate family members clustered in the morning outside his window at the Edward C. Allworth Veterans’ Home in Lebanon.
They brought balloons and a double-layered cake. “Because he loves chocolate,” Brown said.
A light blue surgical mask hid half his face but his eyes crinkled at the corners to show he was smiling as he talked to his family in a courtyard outside the nursing home’s common area.
A caregiver had brought Lapschies out in a wheelchair to sit a proper distance away from the small semi-circle of people, but he still held forth, wearing a World War II veteran hat and dark blue jeans.
“Woooo,” he exclaimed with raised curled hands.
Lapschies (pronounced Lap’-shees) had a hard time hearing the family, but he was sharp and in a good mood. He spoke slowly. He laughed at just about everything.
Asked how he kicked the virus, Lapschies paused, serious for half a beat.
“Oh, it just went away,” he said, laughing again.
Soon it was time to return to his room.
“Bye-bye,” he said, his voice trailing off as a worker rolled him back. “Wooo!”
Two of 15 residents at the veterans home who tested positive have died, as have dozens of people associated with an assisted living community near Seattle. Nearly 30 senior care homes in Oregon have reported at least one coronavirus case.
Somehow, Lapschies made it. While U.S. studies show that up to about 27% of people over 85 with the coronavirus don’t make it, news reports from around the globe point to a handful of hardy survivors like Lapschies.
A 95-year-old Yamhill County man, also a veteran, has survived. A 101-year-old man in Spain has survived, as have two 103-year-old women, one from China and one from Iran.
There was a moment when it wasn’t clear if the Salem-born World War II veteran would ride out the infection.
A few days after his March 10 diagnosis, a doctor at the nursing home, where Lapschies has lived for eight months, called Brown to say her father wasn’t doing well.
Lapschies’ temperature had spiked and his breathing was labored. The doctor and Brown talked about end-of-life decisions.
First thing the next morning, Brown drove the 28 miles from Lyons to Lebanon with her husband Jim Brown.
Brown attributes her father’s survival to his outlook on life: “He has such an upbeat attitude. He’s never down.”
Lapschies lived through another pandemic – he was born at Salem Hospital in 1916 and was 2 when influenza infected a third of the world’s population and killed at least 50 million people, including 675,000 in the United States.
He grew up in Salem, married Alamadean “Deanie” Buetell in 1939 and was drafted into the Army in 1943, leaving behind Brown, who was born that same year, and an older daughter, Billie Jean, who was 2. He was stationed on a small island in the Aleutian Islands, where Brown said he helped dispatch trucks and heavy machinery.
The family kept the list of those attending Wednesday’s party small so everyone could easily stay at least 6 feet away from each other.
But, Brown said, her father’s 105th birthday party will be different.
“We’re really going to have a big one,” she said.

Several days ago, Judson Sapp, a Northeast Florida candidate for congress and member of the Trump Victory Committee, announced on March 25 that he would be suspending campaign fundraising in order to assist President Trump’s efforts to maintain supply lines amid Coronavirus panic-buying that is effecting every corner of the Untied States.
The CEO of WJ Sapp Railroad Contractor, Sapp’s company services and helps maintain railways all across the Southeast. According to our sources, the company is integral in the delivery of several essential products like toilet paper being delivered throughout the Southeast.
Over the past year, Sapp has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for President Trump’s re-election campaign, hosting events in North Florida and traveling to Washington, D.C. to support campaign fundraising efforts.
While many candidates are raising money off the Coronavirus pandemic and using it for political gain, it is nice to see Judson Sapp using his time to maintain the supply chains instead of asking for campaign cash.
