America explodes into food stockpiling PANIC after the malicious media and incompetent government spent the last six weeks condemning people for getting prepared
America has exploded into a nationwide food stockpiling panic today in the hours after President Trump declared a national emergency in an effort to defeat the coronavirus epidemic now sweeping the country.
We are getting reports from across the country that grocery stores are swamped, even during the late evening hours as people suddenly come to their senses and realize we've all been lied to by the government and the media for the last six weeks.
Day after day, week after week, idiotic radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh and propagandist media networks like Fox News and CNN mocked and condemned preppers, insisting that no one needed to buy extra food, water, N95 masks or even sanitizers. In doing so, they transformed America into a nation of complacency and disinformation that has now lead to this very moment where people are starting to panic nationwide.
Big Tech helped make sure the American people were wildly unprepared, setting them up for a "panic trap"
Big Tech has been part of this too, banning all the honest, accurate voices from the independent media that have been warning people this entire time to start having extra food and other emergency supplies at the ready. For daring to try to help Americans get prepared, we have been condemned, slandered, smeared and de-platformed while Google made sure the wholly discredited, criminally negligent W.H.O. dominated all search results for the coronavirus, ensuring the continued ignorance of the American people about the severity of this global pandemic.
And that's the trifecta of criminal negligence and incompetence: Big Government, Big Tech and Big Media all colluding to make sure the American people are ill-prepared as the coronavirus explodes across the nation, practically guaranteeing a far larger number of infections and deaths than would have been necessary if people had simply been allowed to find Pandemic.news on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook or Google (we've been banned everywhere, as we are "guilty" of telling the truth on sensitive matters the evil tech giants don't want people to know).
We could have helped prevent THIS:
Now America is quite literally facing a collapse of the food supply infrastructure
Thanks to all this deliberate sabotage that has been pushed for nearly two months by the same CIA camp that also runs Wikipedia, the US food supply infrastructure is rapidly approaching a state of collapse.
"The companies that feed America and provide basic staples are bracing for labor shortages as the coronavirus pandemic intensifies, which could leave them without enough workers to manufacture, deliver and unpack groceries in stores in the coming months," reports the Anchorage Daily News.
"Already, some chains are rationing products as shelves empty out of pasta, rice and frozen vegetables and anxious customers wait in long lines for toilet paper and bottled water - in scenes similar to those seen before a hurricane, yet this time unfolding on a national scale."
It's all by design of course. The malicious media and treasonous Tech Giants engineered the very censorship and disinformation campaigns that led to all this. They literally want millions of Americans to die in order to create a crisis that they hope might dislodge Trump from the White House and install their dementia-suffering candidate Joe Biden as the next president.
Thanks to all this deliberate sabotage, censorship and disinformation, here's where we are right now as the virus continues to explode across America on an exponential scale:
In another two weeks, this map will look nearly ten times worse, by the way. We've already done the math. You can bank on it. I'm the author of the pandemic projection model that has now been downloaded thousands of times and tells the shocking story of where we are headed in the USA as coronavirus testing kits are still not in the hands of doctors across the nation. And now Trump says there will be no testing at all for asymptomatic carriers (people who show no symptoms).
The worst liars were given top visibility while the truth tellers were smeared and silenced
Who, exactly, are the purveyors of lies, myths and misinformation across America? People like Dr. Drew, Rush Limbaugh, Mike Pence (who still promises millions of testing kits will appear any day now), the US Surgeon General and countless TV hosts, "journalists" and talking heads who all assured the nation that the coronavirus was "no worse than the flu."
People who prepare are all kooks, they said, and anyone who recommends commonsense preparedness is "spreading fear."
And who was telling the truth about the pandemic, many weeks in advance? People like Stefan Molyneaux, Chris Martenson, Michael Snyder, Dave Hodges, Mac Slavo and myself, Mike Adams. Publishers like Zero Hedge, InfoWars, All News Pipeline, Steve Quayle, The Commonsense Show, SHTFplan.com and Natural News told America the truth many weeks in advance, giving people plenty of time to stock up without causing a last-minute panic rush on supplies.
An astonishing 22 days ago, for example, I warned America about exactly what was coming. This message was, of course, banned on YouTube, Twitter, Vimeo and everywhere else for the simple reason that it encouraged people to get prepared instead of staying complacent:
With all the banning, censorship, search engine manipulation by Google (who Trump has now chosen to run the coronavirus testing website, if you can believe that) and other nefarious actions by the tech industry, it's now obvious that Big Tech wants millions of people to die from the coronavirus. It's all part of the depopulation agenda, of course, that people like Bill Gates have been pushing for years (right alongside their pandemic outbreak modeling programs and secretive vaccine research schemes).
It's all a conspiracy of evil: Big Government, Big Media, Big Tech all working together to dumb you down, make sure you are unprepared and then get you killed from a biological weapon system that your tax dollars helped finance in the first place, via NIH grants to the "death science" bioweapons industry.
The "death science" lunatics who built this weapon are now Trump's advisors
The very same people who built these deadly biological weapons against humanity are now running the Trump administration response to this pandemic, which was caused by an escape of their own deadly weapon in the first place. In other words, the same institutions and corporations that created this devastating threat against humanity are now getting billions of dollars in grants from the Trump administration to "manage" this pandemic.
It's all too insane to even describe. They use your own tax dollars to murder you while they collect billions to pose as the saviors of humanity.
No wonder more and more people watching all this are rooting for the whole corrupt system to be taken down and stomped out of existence, after which humanity might actually have a chance to survive without being threatened and blackmailed by a true industry of death that rakes in billions of dollars in profits to engineer deadly weapons that now threaten our entire planet.

US coronavirus outbreak: Anxious and unprepared healthcare workers man the front lines
The coronavirus known as Covid-19, which has marched across the globe with relentless precision in the past few weeks, has firmly established itself in the United States. Over 150 Americans have now been diagnosed , and the disease has already claimed 11 American lives.
People are terrified, because even though the virus seems to cause only mild symptoms in the vast majority of patients, it also claims the lives of at least 2 percent of its victims, with the sick and elderly being particularly at risk.
As with any infectious disease, healthcare workers are at elevated risk of contracting Covid-19, and initial mistakes by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have left a gaping hole in the nation’s defenses. This has left nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers even more exposed than they should be, and many of them are reporting unprecedented levels of anxiety as a result. (Related: Pandemic proportions -- COVID-19 is starting to spiral out of control all over the globe.)
Front line healthcare workers at higher risk
In China, where thousands have died from Covid-19, several healthcare workers have succumbed to the disease, either as a direct result of the virus or because of other illnesses caused by exhaustion and long hours in the trenches.
Now, healthcare workers in the United States have expressed fears that they, too, might meet the same fate. (Related: Coronavirus fears continue to spark panic buying of isopropyl alcohol and hand sanitizer across the USA.)
The LA Times reported:
The virus has been estimated to kill two of every 100 people who contract it, though the risk is lower for younger people and higher for the elderly, experts said.
But medical professionals could be in more danger than others. Being exposed to multiple people who are very sick — the way someone working in a hospital would be — typically makes someone sicker than if they were exposed to only one person who was mildly ill.
Plus, hospital procedures, such as intubating a patient, may release large amounts of the virus that can easily infect workers in the room.
In addition to the elevated risk from close and prolonged contact with patients, healthcare workers have expressed grave concerns about the ability of many facilities to cope with the logistic aspects of an outbreak.
And supplies of protective equipment are already running low, though we are still in the early stages of what experts are predicting will become a full-scale pandemic in the United States.
The Times reported further:
With the coronavirus expected to spread within the United States, doctors and nurses say they are nervously watching as stockpiles of masks and other protective gear in hospitals dwindle amid an equipment shortage. The flu season has further complicated efforts to identify suspected COVID-19 cases because the two infections have similar symptoms.
Physicians say it has become increasingly challenging to monitor the shifting recommendations for treating and testing for COVID-19 while also trying to care for anxious patients and prevent exposure to the virus among themselves and their colleagues.
Healthcare workers are also terrified of the potential consequences of this prolonged exposure on their own families.
“I have to go back home and I have to worry about my family and what I could be carrying back to them,” said Dr. Suman Radhakrishna, of Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles. “There are no martyrs here.”
We salute the brave men and women willing to risk their lives to save others. Let’s hope the government moves quickly to provide whatever equipment, supplies and support they need to get the job done.

Osteoporosis affects bone health. If you have the condition, you are at high risk of fractures, even while doing normal activities like walking or standing. Osteoporosis also causes painful symptoms, which you can relieve naturally with treatments like acupressure or by taking supplements. (h/t to SteadyHealth.com
Vitamin D for muscle spasms and bone pain
Keep your bones healthy by incorporating certain nutrients into your diet, particularly calcium and vitamin D.
You need calcium to keep your bones strong, while vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption. Other nutrients, like magnesium, protein, vitamin K and zinc also promote bone health.
Taking at least 1,000 International Units (IU) of vitamin D3 daily can help improve your condition within one to two weeks.
Don't take megadoses of vitamin D, which is about 50,000 IU or more. Excessive vitamin D may result in bone pain.
CBD oil for bone pain
Cannabidiol (CBD), which is extracted from marijuana, helps ease different kinds of pain.
Even the mere expectation that CBD can help minimize pain can help set up a placebo effect that works for you, all with little to no side effects compared to medication.
Lavender oil for pain relief
The scent of lavender oil helps reduce pain perception.
Pour hot water in a bowl, then add lavender essential oil. Gently sniff the steam from the scented bowl.
Don't take lavender oil orally or apply it directly to your skin. (Related: 9 Natural ways to prevent osteoporosis.)
Moist heat to relieve bone pain
Use a heating pad or a hot water bottle to ease bone pain.
Most heating pads automatically turn off after you use them for a couple of hours. Don't use heating pads longer than the recommended usage time to avoid burns.
Have an Epsom salt soak to relieve bone and muscle pain
Epsom salt is a magnesium compound.
Add two cups (about 250 g) of Epsom salts to a warm bath and soak for 30 minutes to minimize bone pain for several hours.
Vibration platforms to relieve hip and lower back pain
Increased circulation to the hip and lower back can help remove inflammatory proteins and lessen pain.
Some chiropractors, physical therapists and gyms have vibration platforms that gently stimulate circulation in the lower body as you stand on them.
Tai chi and qigong for pain relief
If you can't do the flowing motions of tai chi on one foot, try qigong instead.
Qigong (or chi kung), which translates to "breath work" or "energy work," consists of a few minutes of gentle breathing that's sometimes combined with movement.
Qigong aims to help relax your mind and mobilize the body's energy. You can practice qigong while you're standing, sitting or lying down.
Massages can help relieve osteoporosis pain
Chinese tuina massage, Japanese acupressure or a professional massage are natural remedies for bone pain.
However, massages aren't recommended for patients with very fragile bones that can get fractured. Avoid rolfing and deep tissue massages if you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis.
Preventing osteoporosis
Many risk factors for osteoporosis are beyond your control, such as gender, age and having a family history of osteoporosis.
However, there are other factors that you can manage, like your diet and lifestyle habits. Below are some of the best ways to prevent osteoporosis:
Getting the recommended daily amount of calcium and vitamin D.
Doing weight-bearing exercises regularly.
Quitting smoking.
Exercises that boost bone health
Weight-bearing exercises may help strengthen your bones.
The weight-bearing exercises below are performed with either your feet or your arms fixed to the ground or another surface.
Climbing stairs Resistance training, such as leg presses, pushups and squats Weight training with dumbbells, resistance bands and resistance exercise machines
Patients with osteoporosis can benefit from these exercises since they make your muscles push and pull against your bones. This action signals your body to form new bone tissue, which then helps boost bone strength.
Additionally, exercising has several positive effects on your weight and heart health. Physical activity also improves your balance and coordination, which can help you avoid falls.

naturalnews--2020-03-13--Are Cavendish bananas in danger of going extinct?

( Natural News ) There ’ s a reason why people “ go bananas ” and not any other fruit .
It ’ s one of the most widely consumed fruits in the world — humans consume 100 billion bananas every year — and the most commonly referenced fruit in music .

Are Cavendish bananas in danger of going extinct?
There's a reason why people "go bananas" and not any other fruit. It's one of the most widely consumed fruits in the world -- humans consume 100 billion bananas every year -- and the most commonly referenced fruit in music.
Because bananas are a fruit that so many people enjoy, it's now in danger of being gone -- forever.
A fate similar to that of its predecessor?
Over 1,000 varieties of bananas are grown and consumed all over the world. Among these, the most common subgroup is the Cavendish banana (Musa acuminata Cavendish Subgroup), which accounts for around 47 percent of global production. It's also at the mercy of two plant pathogens, which are already scavenging their way through monoculture plantations of the fruit, leaving nothing in their wake.
"We are in danger, with so much of the market taken up by this one subgroup," explained Nicolas Roux, a scientist at Bioversity International in France, in an article on Live Science.
The current predicament that banana growers face is eerily similar to that of the subgroup's predecessor, the Gros Michel, or "Big Mike." Before the Cavendish cultivar, people all over the world enjoyed the large, creamy and sweet banana. However, in the 1950s, a condition known as Fusarium wilt or Panama disease started wiping out banana plantations in Latin America, the world's major banana-producing region at the time. In response, breeders developed a cultivar that was almost completely resistant to Panama disease: the Cavendish banana.
Since then, the Cavendish banana has grown to be the most widely exported and among the most commonly consumed cultivars worldwide.
"For Western countries, the vast majority of the bananas we eat are from the same Cavendish subgroup," added Roux.
But the Cavendish banana's claim to being almost wholly resistant to Panama disease would only last until the turn of the century. In the 1990s, a new strain of Panama disease, called Tropical Race 4, started killing bananas. The strain gets into the stem and cuts off its water supply, killing the plant over time.
Even worse, the pathogen thrives in monoculture farming, or growing single species across vast areas. Since Cavendish bananas are grown asexually, that is, by cutting off plant stems and replanting them to grow on their own, this means that the new Panama disease can affect swaths of banana plants that lack resistance to the pathogen.
"When you have monoculture, you just have this endless amount of food for the pest — it's like a 24-hour buffet," explained Angelina Sanderson-Bellamy, an ecologist at the University of Cardiff in Wales.
The new strain of Panama disease has spread to Australia, East Africa and even Asia, including China, India and Taiwan. Experts fear that if Panama disease reaches South America, where most Cavendish bananas are grown, it could be the end of the beloved yellow fruit that people enjoy the world over.
Another fungal disease plaguing bananas today is the black sigatoka, a leaf spot disease that can significantly reduce fruit yields. In recent years, the risk of infection from black sigatoka has increased by as much as 50 percent in some areas.
It's worth noting, however, that other varieties of bananas are grown in other parts of the world, with some being resistant to Panama disease altogether. For Roux and his team, they're looking at local varieties of the fruit and asking growers to focus on developing these further.
But for Sanderson-Bellamy, she believes that now is a good time to look at changing how people grow bananas. (Related: Bananas now on the brink of EXTINCTION.)
"It's been 70 years [since the first fusarium wilt outbreak] and we still haven't come up with a new variety that could tick all these boxes," she added. "I think there is a crisis in our food system, and I think the [Cavendish] banana is a good example of the way that crisis is manifesting itself."

Trump, NIH, CDC, HHS all collude to avoid testing asymptomatic Americans in order to keep coronavirus infection numbers artificially low
President Trump has just made surewill now go into overdrive. A so-called "new approach to testing" announced by Trump and the HHS yesterday relies on
This isn't the gold standard of testing. It's more like the turd standard.
Obviously, when dealing with a deadly infectious disease that has a multi-week incubation period during which asymptomatic carriers can spread the infection to others, you have to test people who don't yet show symptoms. But Trump and the HHS have announced that won't be happening. Trump repeated it several times in yesterday's national emergency declaration announcement: "People who don't have symptoms don't need to be tested."
What's the strategy behind this medical lunacy, you ask? It's a way to keep the number of detected infections artificially low. In other words, it's the same trick communist China played on the world all along. Now the US government is borrowing that insane deception page right out of communist China.
It is impossible to stop this disease if you don't test people who are asymptomatic carriers. Trump's announcement is essentially a kind of suicide pact for America, and it's being endorsed by all the pharmaceutical companies who think they stand to make a killing from all the drugs and vaccines people will need as the hospitals get completely overrun in 8 weeks or less.
One expert thinks 500,000 Americans may already be infected
One health expert, Dr. Marty Makary, says there may already be 500,000 Americans infected right now. The reason we don't know the exact number yet is because coronavirus testing is still practically non-existent in the United States, thanks to the criminal negligence of the CDC (and government incompetence in general).
My own estimates based on the "Adams model" pandemic projection system, now in revision 3, estimates that there are right now 23,000 actively infected people in the United States.
According to the model, which now assumes a 50% social distancing suppression factor, by the end of March there will be 93,000 Americans infected and over 500 dead.
Typically, my own projections have consistently turned out to be too low, even though many readers can't psychologically handle the projections when they first see them. For example, my model is currently projecting hundreds of thousands of Americans DEAD by July 4th. Even with a 50% social distancing factor in place... Yet to this day, most Americans still can't imagine that happening because they simply aren't psychologically able to handle the thought of it.
That's why a lockdown is probably coming to the USA, specifically in certain regions such as Seattle, NYC, Boston, San Franshitsco, etc. If you're not yet prepared to "shelter in place" for 60 days or more, you may end up failing to survive what's coming.

How should you prepare for a lockdown? (Hint: It doesn’t involve private islands or jets)
Preparing for the coronavirus pandemic means more than just stocking up on basic food and personal hygiene and cleaning products -- but some people are taking it to new (and lavish) heights.
While everyone else may be hunkering down in their respective homes to wait out the worst of the coronavirus pandemic that’s currently sweeping the globe, a select few have taken self-isolation to the extreme: chartering private jets to specially prepared, disaster-proof bunkers that would put some of the world’s most well-appointed hotels and private residences to shame.
Those who have decided to stay inland, meanwhile, have taken to tapping doctors from private clinics in order to avail of private coronavirus tests. (Related: What is social distancing and can it prevent the spread of coronavirus?)
“This [the coronavirus pandemic] has led to huge demand from very wealthy people asking if they can pay for private testing. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer testing, as the NHS has said all tests should be done centrally,” Mark Ali, chief executive and medical director of the Private Harley Street Clinic said.
According to Ali, a cardiovascular surgeon by profession, his clinic has also offered an intravenous infusion of vitamins and minerals to the “worried wealthy” to boost their immune systems. The vitamin drip? -- which is composed of vitamins C, B12 complex, as well as minerals like zinc, and amino acids and antioxidants? -- costs £350.
This is in stark contrast to the average American, Jewel Mullen, associate dean for health equity at the University of Texas at Austin’s Dell Medical School, said.
According to Mullen, millions of Americans can’t afford to stock up on supplies, as well as miss work or have a doctor on standby whom they can call for advice -- even on a good day.

Lockdowns 101
It might sound like something out of a grim, apocalyptic movie, but a coronavirus lockdown need not be a stressful endeavor — it can actually be a pretty smooth-sailing one if one prepares for it accordingly.
Here are some things you can do:
Stock up on healthy food. If your community is going to be under a lockdown, chances are your movement in public would be severely limited -- thus lessening your chances of making it to the local groceries and farmer’s markets. Before that happens, stock up on about a month’s worth of healthy and shelf-stable food.

Same as with the issue regarding food, you can’t really run to your neighborhood convenience store once you run out of personal care products when your city gets locked down. Thus, it’s a wise decision if you buy enough supplies to last you and your family for a whole month. Stock up on potable water and water purifiers. Lockdowns can sometimes go hand-in-hand with shifts in the water supply, as authorities will be more strict with outflow and the like. In preparation for this, you will need to prepare enough water, around a gallon per day per member of your household. You will also have to consider the possibility of having to use water purifying tablets and solutions, so it would be wise to stock up on those as well.
