The Hill reports:
On a Thursday conference call featuring more than 200 members of the House Democratic caucus, lawmakers one by one laid out a sweeping wish list of provisions they want to see included in the nascent package, including a boost in infrastructure spending, an expansion of Social Security benefits and funding for states to set up an all-mail voting system in the event the pandemic extends into November’s elections.
“This is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision,” Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) told lawmakers, according to a source on the call.
And while not all of the Democratic proposals are likely to emerge in the final House package — legislation that is being crafted by party leaders and various committee heads — they foreshadow a showdown with McConnell and the White House over the size and direction of the latest relief bill, the third to be considered this month as policymakers scramble to prevent the spread of the virus.
On the call, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she had spoken to numerous governors, who had told her they were seeing barriers to their constituents being able to access unemployment insurance. She suggested declaring a disaster, which could remove some of those obstacles and bureaucratic red tape.
“Let’s not worry about the cost. It’s an investment in the health of the economy,” Pelosi told Democratic lawmakers.
Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) said he backed sweeping infrastructure legislation by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), and proposed tying it to the coronavirus package.
Meanwhile, Clyburn, the No. 3 Democratic leader, suggested the deadly outbreak — which has confined millions of children and adults to their homes — has illuminated a need to secure 100 percent broadband coverage, including for schools and rural communities. That funding is especially crucial, Democrats argued, considering the mass closure of schools and the attempt at mobile learning that has followed.

WE WERE RIGHT! Dr. Birx Confirms WHO Was WAY OFF in Their 3.4% Mortality Rate and It Will Likely Drop Under 1% As TGP Predicted

WE WERE RIGHT !
Dr. Birx Confirms WHO Was WAY OFF in Their 3.4 % Mortality Rate and It Will Likely Drop Under 1 % As TGP Predicted It ’ s official .
President Trump and Dr. Deborah Birx confirm The Gateway Pundit reporting on the coronavirus mortality rate .
Last Monday The Gateway Pundit FIRST reported on the controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , claimed in a press conference on March 3 , 2020 , that the fatality rate for the coronavirus was 3.4 % and many multiples higher than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ % .
This has led to the greatest economic panic in world history .
The Director General of the WHO spoke on March 3 , 2020 and shared this related to the coronavirus : While many people globally have built up immunity to seasonal flu strains , COVID-19 is a new virus to which no one has immunity .
That means more people are susceptible to infection , and some will suffer severe disease .
Globally , about 3.4 % of reported COVID-19 cases have died .
By comparison , seasonal flu generally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those infected .
Here is the video of Dr. Ghebreyesus ’ s remarks .
This statement led to the greatest panic in world history as the global elite media shared and repeated that the coronavirus was many , many times more deadly than the common flu .
The problem is his statement is false .
It was not accurate !
As The Gateway Pundit reported a week ago Monday , the coronavirus mortality rate reported by the media as stated by Dr. Ghebreyesus is completely inaccurate .
Here ’ s a summary of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ numbers proving the Director General ’ s statement was very misleading and materially false : The Gateway Pundit was the first to report on this .
A look at the numbers : ** Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus used the actual number of deaths due to coronavirus divided by confirmed cases to get his 3.4 % mortality rate number ( from last week -since that time the mortality rate based on current reported numbers is near 4 % ) ** Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus then compared the actual coronavirus mortality rate to an estimated flu mortality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flu mortality rate is based on an estimated 22,000 deaths divided by an estimated 36 million flu cases giving a 0.1 % mortality rate .
** Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus compared known numbers for coronavirus ( 3.4 percent mortality rate ) but did not include the estimated number of those infected who are asymtomatic .
This number is likely in the tens of thousands and could be in the millions !
There is no way of knowing right now .
One study released this week revealed that 6 of 7 people infected by coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are infected !
** Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus then compared the known numbers of 206,845 cases of coronavirus to the millions of estimated annual cases of flu cases .
Again he does not include the asymtomatic cases , the 6 of 7 people infected who do not suffer severe symptoms .
** If asymtomatic cases are included in Ghebreyesus ’ s calculation the actual mortality rate of the coronavirus is somewhere between 0.2 % to 0.8 % or lower .
Ghebreyesus compared apples to oranges and his numbers were completely inaccurate !
On @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allegations that the WHO was wrong with their coronavirus predictions .
The actual mortality rate will be significantly under 1 % .
President Trump : I think the main factor is the mortality rate .
We talked about the mortality rate when we first started , people were thinking about 3 and 4 percent and now they ’ re talking about a much lower number .
I think it is a number that will be a lot different than people thought .
Dr. Birx : The mortality rate is driven almost exclusively by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people with preexisting conditions and older .
So that has become from the very beginning that was our emphasis .
When we started two or three weeks ago talking with one another our focus has been how do we protect those with preexisting conditions and the elderly… Dr. Birx : Yes , you know the estimate in Wuhan was originally .
It was over three percent .
When they ( Chinese ) looked outside of Wuhan it was 0.7 % .
In South Korea it was 0.7 to 0.8 % .
That ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That ’ s probably missing 50-60 % of the data because no one was testing asymptomatics .
Remember in every country you had to be symptomatic to get a test .
So we ’ re making case fatality rates when we ’ re missing a significant part of the data .
The Gateway Pundit was right .
And we were first with this news .
The media and medical experts have not yet discovered the absolute irresponsible comparisons coming from the World Health Organization Director that set this global economic panic into motion @

It’s official.
President Trump and Dr. Deborah Birx confirm The Gateway Pundit reporting on the coronavirus mortality rate.
Last Monday The Gateway Pundit FIRST reported on the controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Tedros claimed in a press conference on March 3, 2020, that the fatality rate for the coronavirus was 3.4% and many multiples higher than the common flu mortality rate of 0.1%.
This egregiously false premise
The Director General of the WHO spoke on March 3, 2020 and shared this related to the coronavirus:
While many people globally have built up immunity to seasonal flu strains, COVID-19 is a new virus to which no one has immunity. That means more people are susceptible to infection, and some will suffer severe disease. Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died. By comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected.
Here is the video of Dr. Ghebreyesus’s remarks.
This statement led to the greatest panic in world history as the global elite media shared and repeated that the coronavirus was many, many times more deadly than the common flu.
The problem is his statement is false.
It was not accurate!
As The Gateway Pundit reported a week ago Monday, the coronavirus mortality rate reported by the media as stated by Dr. Ghebreyesus is completely inaccurate.
Here’s a summary of the analysis with last week’s numbers proving the Director General’s statement was very misleading and materially false:
N/A – not available
The Gateway Pundit was the first to report on this.
A look at the numbers:
** Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus used the actual number of deaths due to coronavirus divided by confirmed cases to get his 3.4% mortality rate number (from last week -since that time the mortality rate based on current reported numbers is near 4%)
** Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus then compared the actual coronavirus mortality rate to an estimated flu mortality rate of 0.1% — The US flu mortality rate is based on an estimated 22,000 deaths divided by an estimated 36 million flu cases giving a 0.1% mortality rate.
** Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus compared known numbers for coronavirus (3.4 percent mortality rate) but did not include the estimated number of those infected who are asymtomatic. This number is likely in the tens of thousands and could be in the millions! There is no way of knowing right now.

** If asymtomatic cases are included in Ghebreyesus’s calculation the actual mortality rate of the coronavirus is somewhere between 0.2% to 0.8% or lower.
Ghebreyesus compared apples to oranges and his numbers were completely inaccurate!
On Tuesday Dr. Deborah Birx confirmed our earlier allegations that the WHO was wrong with their coronavirus predictions.
The actual mortality rate will be significantly under 1%.
President Trump: I think the main factor is the mortality rate. We talked about the mortality rate when we first started, people were thinking about 3 and 4 percent and now they’re talking about a much lower number. I think it is a number that will be a lot different than people thought. Dr. Birx: The mortality rate is driven almost exclusively by what we have been talking about by people with preexisting conditions and older. So that has become from the very beginning that was our emphasis. When we started two or three weeks ago talking with one another our focus has been how do we protect those with preexisting conditions and the elderly… President Trump: It’s a lot lower than we originally thought. Frankly, it’s a lot lower. Dr. Birx: Yes, you know the estimate in Wuhan was originally. It was over three percent. When they (Chinese) looked outside of Wuhan it was 0.7%. In South Korea it was 0.7 to 0.8%. That’s like a tyranny of averages. That’s probably missing 50-60% of the data because no one was testing asymptomatics. Remember in every country you had to be symptomatic to get a test. So we’re making case fatality rates when we’re missing a significant part of the data.
The Gateway Pundit was right.
And we were first with this news.
The media and medical experts have not yet discovered the absolute irresponsible comparisons coming from the World Health Organization Director that set this global economic panic into motion.

While everyone is hurting from the spread of SARS-CoV-2 , the news networks are booming .
Every day , the cable news stations — occasionally accompanied by the main networks — are doing hour after hour of coverage of the virus .
In almost every instance , the coverage is hysterical , with anchors hyping up fear and trembling among Americans ( ecept for Fox News , of course ) .
CNN has nearly tripling its primetime audience , but not enough to catch Fox .

Conservative host Sean Hannity in particular has been on a roll during the coronavirus emergency , two weeks ago having notched his second-highest rated week in his show ’ s 12-year history .
ABC ’ s “ World News Tonight ” and the “ NBC Nightly News ” “ had an average of about 12 million viewers for each of their newscasts last week , among the biggest totals for all network shows , according to Nielsen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as an average ‘ Monday Night Football ’ game .

Younger people have tuned in , too : There was a 67 percent rise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 54 , according to Nielsen .
The network newscasts have not attracted that kind of audience in years .
While the Trump presidency has been a boon for the cable news networks — which have consistently set ratings records since 2017 — it has given no such lift to the evening newscasts .
But the liberal networks still hate President Trump .
“ Six television networks began showing President Donald Trump ’ s briefing on the coronavirus outbreak late Monday , but only Fox News Channel stuck it out to the end @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Associated Press reported .

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has announced that they will be closing all gun retailers as they are “not an essential function.”

The station reports that he also freed 10% of the inmate population from county jails — nonviolent offenders with misdemeanor sentences that were up within 30 days.
“We’re gonna keep violent felony suspects who are a threat to the community in the jail no matter what,” Villanueva said. “Anybody who has an idea that somehow we’re not going to be hard on crooks out there on the streets, they’re tragically mistaken, there’s twice as many deputies on the street now so the odds of you getting caught are a lot higher.”
Though he has doubled the police patrol, he claims that the National Guard is not active in the county, despite photos posted to social media that show large amounts of military vehicles.
“If we start losing major portions of our sworn personnel, that impacts our ability to man jails or our patrol obligations, and were running out of people to do that, if were in that position typically our counterparts in LAPD they’ll be in the same boat, then we can use the National Guard to start assigning them to security operations,” Villanueva said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi snapped at CNN’s Dana Bash Tuesday afternoon when the host brought up Trump’s recent remarks suggesting bringing Americans out of quarantine and back to work.
“I don’t have time to follow people’s twits…tweets, Twitters, whatever, tweets — so don’t expect me to comment on that,” Pelosi said.
“Well, even beyond Twitter, the President of the United States is signaling that he could open it up,” Bash said.
“What is your opinion on that?” Bash said pressing Pelosi.
“I don’t care! I don’t care! I don’t care!” Pelosi said as CNN’s Dana Bash brought up Trump’s plans to open America back up for business soon.
“It is not scientific based — he’s notion mongering,” Pelosi slurred.
Of course Pelosi doesn’t care about Americans going back to work. She wants America shut down while she holds the country hostage and tries to shove her Socialist wish list through Congress.

MSNBC Issues Correction After Tweet Claiming 50 % of the Population Could Die From Coronavirus MSNBC has issued a correction after a shockingly absurd tweet that claimed 50 % of the US population could die from the coronavirus .
The network ’ s social media account said that the quote , attributed to MSNBC pundit Chris Hayes , was an “ editing error.

Though this tweet may have been a misfire , Hayes has been one of the most alarmist and hyperbolic pundits out there .
During that segment , Hayes claimed that Republicans and Donald Trump are ready to kill a “ million ” senior citizens as a way of saving the economy from the coronavirus .
“ And now , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dislocation , as we continue to climb up the exponential curve of cases and of deaths , the President is now listening to voices on the right that say , ‘ Really , what ’ s a million seniors when you ’ re thinking about the whole economy ?
’ ” Hayes said .
Hayes also claimed that coronavirus is just like air pollution — which he says conservatives also support .
“ I should note : This has been a central conservative , right wing idea forever .
It ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we don ’ t need clean air regulations , even if tens of thousands of people die every year of lung disease from additional pollution .
It ’ s just now it ’ s being applied in this extreme case in the midst of a global pandemic and a growing exponential curve , ” he added .

Dr. Birx on Coronavirus Crisis: No One Imagined This Scenario of Respiratory Disease and Seasonal Flu at Same Time

Speaking at Monday ’ s White House briefing on the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus pandemic , White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said that no one had planned for what we are going through now : A respiratory disease outbreak on top of a seasonal flu outbreak .

So how confident are you on the start dates of each curve for each of the geographical areas ?
The President seems to be indicating we ’ ll be adjusting the policy for it .
DR. BIRX : So that ’ s a very good question .
So , what we do know is now we can backtrack from people who get very seriously ill to when they probably got infected , which is when they were exposed .
And so when you start backing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you start seeing hospitalized patients , you know that the virus has probably been there for three to four weeks , substantially circulating within the population .
So that ’ s what we ’ re looking for .

It was never , ever thought that you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at exactly the same time as your flu hits in the country .

What we will get to , as a country , with the amount of testing that will be available , is being able to do what the President talked about simultaneously — simultaneously doing containment contract [ sic ] tracing at the same time you ’ re doing mitigation .

Dr. Deborah Birx speaks at White House coronavirus task force briefing, screen image, March 23.
Excerpt from White House transcript:
Q If we could clarify with Dr. Birx. We seem to be talking about different geographical slopes on this; the curve would be changing. And yet, you just said the 20 percent number that is coming out in New York gives an indication that we don’t quite know when the seeds — to use your metaphor — were planted. So how confident are you on the start dates of each curve for each of the geographical areas? The President seems to be indicating we’ll be adjusting the policy for it.
DR. BIRX: So that’s a very good question. So, what we do know is now we can backtrack from people who get very seriously ill to when they probably got infected, which is when they were exposed. And so when you start backing out each of those pieces, when you start seeing hospitalized patients, you know that the virus has probably been there for three to four weeks, substantially circulating within the population. So that’s what we’re looking for.
Now, as all of our testing is improved — and we want to really applaud the group who has worked on it — you know, if you look at the pandemic flu preparedness, all of this was built on a flu platform. It was never, ever thought that you’d have a simultaneous respiratory disease hitting at exactly the same time as your flu hits in the country.
And so when you’re doing all of your flu surveillance, you could have small cases of these pneumonias and flu-like illnesses, characterized as a flu-like illness for the last four to six weeks. And so that’s really a caution to all of us.
And so when we get through all of this, we’ll be looking at each of the pandemic preparedness plans. A long way of saying we know Washington State is a little bit ahead of New York because of the hospitalization records. What we will get to, as a country, with the amount of testing that will be available, is being able to do what the President talked about simultaneously — simultaneously doing containment contract [sic] tracing at the same time you’re doing mitigation.
And I think, right now, we put everything into mitigation. Yet, if we geographically get specific data by zip codes and counties, we’ll be able to approach this in a very laser-focused way, making sure that what we’re doing in each of those areas is absolutely appropriate for where they are in their own little bell-shaped curve.

Requires DHS to automatically extend visas and work authorizations expiring within the next year, including those with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Temporary Protected Status, for an amount of time equal to their prior visa, authorization or status.
Limits CBPs ability to shutdown processing centers if there is a health crisis on the border and requires CBP to assure the timely adjudication of asylums applications.
Requires that Byrne JAG funding be distributed based on the FY2016 allocation, which would allow funding to go to sanctuary cities.
Overreaching Mandates on Businesses:
Permanent changes to who can serve on corporate boards of directors for companies that receive assistance for payroll and operating costs.
Mandatory disclosure on supply chain management.
Requires board diversity disclosure for all publicly traded companies.
Ban on all federal rulemaking including non-COVID 19 proposals (extends 30 days after emergency) in an attempt to delay the current Administration from promulgating actions House Democrats disagree with.
New Permanent Mandates:
Virtually rewrites SNAP policy with no reference to COVID-19 and permanently disallows rulemaking pertaining to work requirements and eligibility.
Permanent expansion of Obamacare entitlement, putting the American taxpayer on the hook for endless and unchecked health insurance spending and would remove all incentives for insurers to reduce the cost of health insurance.

How disgusting and disgraceful.
This latest 1400 page bill put together by Nancy Pelosi and Democrats is everything everyday Americans hate about government. It is the very definition of the worst of the DC Swamp. It is filled with totally unrelated pork to pay off Pelosi’s and Democrat’s deep-pocket supporters. It is filled with their socialist wish list that could neverpass under normal circumstances.
But Pelosi and Democrats expect it to pass by holding you and me hostage. They know the US economy is about to collapse- literally. They know we are on the verge of a Great Depression. Actually, worse than a Great Depression. We are on the verge of 30% or higher unemployment.
That’s higher than anything we saw in the depths of the Great Depression.
Democrats know almost every small business in America is on the verge of bankruptcy. They must know many proud small business owners are thinking of suicide. This is a national disaster of epic proportions.

A kid who was licking toilet seats in the Coronavirus Challenge last week came down with the coronavirus.
He later posted a photo saying he came down with the coronavirus.
They may want to check him for a few other diseases while they have him.
“GayShawnMendes” was also filmed licking ice cream a few months ago when that was a thing.
The fact that he said the very next day he came down with coronavirus is, of course, suspect.
His Twitter account was taken down this week.
So this was a thing last week.

thegatewaypundit--2020-03-24--Noted Israeli Engineer is Latest Expert to Question WHO Director’s Outrageous Claim of 3.4% Coronavi

Noted Israeli Engineer is Latest Expert to Question WHO Director’s Outrageous Claim of 3.4% Coronavirus Mortality Rate

Noted Israeli Engineer is Latest Expert to Question WHO Director ’ s Outrageous Claim of 3.4 % Coronavirus Mortality Rate Dr. Dan Yamin is the latest expert to refute the WHO Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and his completely flawed warning on the coronavirus .
As we have reported several times now — the Director of the World Health Organization created an international panic when he miscalculated the coronavirus mortality rate at 3.4 % .
The controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , , claimed in a press conference in early March that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many multiples that of the fatality rate of the common flu .
This has led to the greatest economic panic in world history .
The Director General of the WHO spoke on March 3 , 2020 and shared this related to the coronavirus : While many people globally have built up immunity to seasonal flu strains , COVID-19 is a new virus to which no one has immunity .
That means more people are susceptible to infection , and some will suffer severe disease .
Globally , about 3.4 % of reported COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1 % of those infected .
Here is the video of Dr. Ghebreyesus ’ s remarks .
The problem is his statement is false .
It was not accurate !
As The Gateway Pundit reported last Monday , a week ago , that the coronavirus mortality rate reported by the media as stated by Dr. Ghebreyesus is completely inaccurate .
You can read more on that here .
The US coronavirus mortality rate is currently at 1.25 % of known cases .
If you include the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number likely around 0.2 % or a harsh flue .
Israeli engineer Dr. Dan Yamin is the latest expert to aslo refuted the WHO ’ s outrageous number .
Dr. Yamin says the mortality rate is closer to 0.6 % than the 3.4 % that was reported by the WHO .
So the research is biased .
“ Very biased .
If I can only carry out few tests , I will test those who have the highest chance of becoming ill , and then , when I check the mortality rate among @ @ @ @ @ @ @ numbers .
But there is one country we can learn from : South Korea .
South Korea has been coping with corona for a long time , more than most Western countries , and they lead in the number of tests per capita .
Therefore , the official mortality rate there is 0.9 percent .
But even in South Korea , not all the infected were tested – most have very mild symptoms .
“ The actual number of people who are sick with the virus in South Korea is at least double @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the chance of dying is at least twice as low , standing at about 0.45 percent – very far from the World Health Organization ’ s [ global mortality ] figure of 3.4 percent .
And that ’ s already a reason for cautious optimism .

thegatewaypundit--2020-03-24--Larry C. Johnson: It’s Way Past Time for Proper Perspective on the Corona Virus

Larry C. Johnson : It ’ s Way Past Time for Proper Perspective on the Corona Virus If you are panicked and fearful about Corona virus you are guilty of abandoning the fundamentals of human reasoning .
The facts of this virus do not justify the shutdown of the global economy .
It is ridiculous .
Let us just look at some very basic numbers .
These are not my numbers .
The world population is approaching 7.8 BILLION as of 10:30 am on 23 March 2020 ( 7,772,832,940 and rising ) .
There have been 168,000 babies born today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
That number also increasing by the minute .
That means about 270 new human beings per minute are entering the world .
In one hour there are 16,000 new births around the world .
And how many have died from the Corona virus since the first of January ?
15,328 ( from John Hopkins as of 10:40 am ) .
That works out to roughly 8 deaths per hour globally .
Catch my drift ?
If someone you love and care for dies of Corona virus it is a sad , tragic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the reality of Mother Nature is that life is far more potent than death .
The idiot , irresponsible media would have you believe that there is corona virus lurking behind every bush and blade of grass .
No one is safe as they wildly clang their media alarm bell .
But when considered as a percentage of the global population , the number who have tested positive is .00004 % ( in other words , 4/10,000 of a percent ) .
That number barely registers .
Yes , there are some hospitals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not the norm .
Why is India not being brought to its knees by a tidal wave of corona virus ?
They do not seem to understand the concept of social distancing : Right now , according to the data published by John Hopkins ( and updated everyday ) , about 23,000 new cases are being diagnosed every day .
Of those , the death rate for those who have tested positive is 4 % .
In other words , out of every 100 people who test positive , four die .
Sad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but you would play those odds in a casino and come away loaded with cash .
I am not saying the virus is not real .
I am not saying it should be ignored .
But I am saying that the fear being manifested in so-called “ developed ” countries is unwarranted and fueled in large part by a mouth breathing , irresponsible media intent on scaring the hell out of viewers .
If the media was doing actual reporting , we would know how many hospitals are overwhelmed and unable to handle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percentage of people who test positive are admitted to the hospital .
We would know what percentage of people admitted to the hospital go into intensive care .
And what about testing ?
The media obsession with testing is but another symptom of the insanity that has gripped the media propaganda maelstrom .
Unless you have symptoms , testing for corona virus is a complete waste of resources and your time .
More importantly , it gives you a false sense of security .
If you are tested today at 6 pm and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can still be infected .
A test is not a vaccine .
It does not immunize you .
It is past time that we focus on reason and facts , not fear .
