That ’ s an effective infection rate of 22.3 % .
There are more than 3,700 passengers and crew on the ship .

Coronavirus infections explode across Diamond Princess cruise ship, now reaching 61 confirmed cases out of 273 tested (22% infection rate)
While theare living in a delusional world of make believe, in the real world the virus is exploding across at least two cruise ships which are currently under quarantine, one docked at Japan and the other, with 30 confirmed infections , near Hong Kong. The Diamond Princess cruise ship docked with Japan, which had just 10 confirmed cases of the coronavirus two days ago, is now confirmed to haveaccording to multiple media sources such as the South China Morning Post
Even more shockingly, these 61 cases have emerged even though only 273 passengers have been tested. That's an effective infection rate of 22.3%.
There are more than 3,700 passengers and crew on the ship. If the 22% infection rate holds steady across the entire ship, we would expect over 800 people to be infected across the ship.
The final number may be significantly lower, fortunately, given that those initially selected for testing were people who showed symptoms or who self-reported close contact with another passenger who was known to be infected. However, the 14-day incubation window for the virus, combined with the symptomless status of many who carry the virus, points to the possibility that even more than 800 passengers might ultimately be confirmed as infected.
"Japanese authorities have tested 273 people on board the Diamond Princess, which was quarantined after a former passenger, an 80-year-old man who disembarked in Hong Kong last month, tested positive for the virus," reports the SCMP. Ship passengers are now essentially imprisoned in their tiny, windowless rooms, entirely dependent on food, water and medical supplies from Japan.
According to the Johns Hopkins CSSE tracking meter, Japan currently has 86 confirmed infections of the coronavirus, making it the highest number of infections outside of China, with Singapore and Thailand following behind. Three island nations -- the Federated States of Micronesia, Tuvalu and Niue -- have reportedly banned all flights from Japan as of today, according to Yahoo News Taiwan, meaning that Japan is being added to the quarantine lists for blocking international flights.
Tourism-related companies will be hit hard by the pandemic as freaked out customers cancel their travel plans
All this means five very important, sobering things:
1) The infectious of this coronavirus is off the charts. One person on a cruise ship can apparently infect hundreds of others. This does not bode well for any hope of real containment of the virus.
2) If it's on cruise ships that previously docked at various ports across many countries, then this coronavirus pandemic is already spreading in those other countries, with diagnostic testing lagging behind the spread by a significant number of days (or weeks).
3) The cruise ship industry is about to face financial collapse if passengers begin cancelling their reservations in large numbers. And with the global spread of this pandemic now inevitable, according to three mainstream health authorities, who wants to imagine being imprisoned in a tiny room on a cruise ship, indefinitely quarantined as the world burns? (i.e. NOT the best vacation ever...)
4) If the cruise ship industry begins to suffer financial collapse from all this, the tourism industry won't be far behind, and that will take down airlines, strongly impacting international travel options. If you thought Boeing took a hit from the 737 Max fiasco, just wait until half the air travelers in the world decide to stop traveling altogether...
5) The last place you want to be during a pandemic is away from home. Hunker down, get your supplies squared away, stay away from airports and cruises, and prepare to ride this out with a healthy dose of vitamin C and some elderberry extract. You most certainly do not want to be stuck in a country where you aren't a citizen, then have to rely on the CDC to "rescue" you with a chartered medical evacuation flight that ends with a cold probe up your rectum and a 14-day quarantine where you're fed sterilized government food.
The coronavirus pandemic is exploding. Plan accordingly.
Oh, and by the way, if you have money in semiconductor industry stocks, you might want to cash in before the supply chain chaos becomes obvious to everyone else. Right now, the only reason why semiconductor stocks haven't cratered is because most people are too stupid to think ahead beyond their next meal (or paycheck). People aren't doing the math, so they don't yet grasp the financial bloodbath that's going to follow the explosion of this pandemic.
Just sayin'.

Cruise ship quarantined in Hong Kong over coronavirus as 30 crew members test positive and city infection rate climbs
The most difficult thing to do in today’s highly mobile global travel society is to control the outbreak of a deadly virus.
That is especially the case when that virus has a lengthy incubation period during which most people show little-to-no signs or symptoms, making cases hard to spot until it’s too late.
That characterizes the current coronavirus outbreak: A bug that doesn’t show itself right away, takes some time to show up, and can actually re-infect people who have already had it.
So, that means the only way to prevent the virus from spreading more rapidly is to keep people who have it or have been exposed to it from coming into contact with unexposed people, especially those crammed into a densely populated urban center like Hong Kong.
As reported by Russia Today, Hong Kong health officials who are already dealing with a rising number of infected people and a city administrator, Carrie Lam, who was slow to seal the country’s borders, quarantined an entire cruise ship after 30 of its crew members tested positive for coronavirus.
The ship, which arrived from Taiwan, belongs to the World Dream cruise company and is carrying 1,800 people. As RT.com reports, currently everyone on board is being tested for the virus as it remains docked.
The news site noted further that it isn’t clear when the ship’s passengers and crew will be cleared to disembark:
Taiwan’s Maritime and Port Bureau said no one was allowed ashore, after the vessel alerted the authorities that three of its previous passengers had been diagnosed with coronavirus. The passengers in question took a separate five-day cruise from China to Vietnam in late January and were hospitalized after returning to the Chinese city of Nansha.
Globally, more than 25,000 people have been infected, but the vast majority of those are in China. For it’s part, according to figures published online by the South China Morning Post, only a handful of people in Taiwan have been infected.
‘Two sets of data’
The current strain of coronavirus was previously unknown. Chinese researchers and health officials believe it mutated to humans from an animal, perhaps bats, in Wuhan City, an urban center of about 11 million people near the central part of the country.
More than 500 people have died from the virus, officials said, with all but a couple having occurred on mainland China. One person has died in Hong Kong and another in the Philippines. In all, more than 911 patients have recovered, Russia Today reported.
Meanwhile, Natural News founder/editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, reported Wednesday that there are growing indications that China has not been truthful with the world regarding the number of infections and deaths.
Citing a report by Taiwan News, Adams suggested that Chinese government officials may be keeping ‘two sets of books’ on infections and deaths.
“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. This has led some netizens to speculate that Tencent has two sets of data, the real data and ‘processed’ data,” the Taiwan report said.
While published numbers claim some 25,000 infections and 500-plus deaths, Adams — using screen grabs of subsequently deleted data published online — wrote:
…[O]bservers have noted that the official numbers reported by the communist Chinese government recently slipped into the “real numbers,” suddenly showing far higher confirmed infections and deaths: 154,024 infections and 24,589 deaths.
While some may believe that the data entered was merely a typo, Adams noted further that above each number is an “increase” factor that calculates “how much larger” current numbers are “compared to” figures from the previous day. The figures calculate out to much larger numbers than what’s being ‘officially’ reported by Beijing, he wrote.

It turned out to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
So much so , in fact , that ballot results are still being tabulated as of this writing on Thursday ; in 2016 , using older technology , Iowa caucus results were 90-percent known by midnight the day of the vote .

Iowa caucus fiasco proves Democrats are too incompetent, corrupt and dishonest to be trusted to run anything, much less a national health care program
If the way the Democrats botched the Iowa caucuses on Monday reminds you of the way the Obama regime completely bombed the rollout of the Obamacare website in 2013 after years of building it at a cost of nearly $900 million , you’re pretty shrewd.
Because we thought the same thing.
As you may have heard, Iowa Democrats, in conjunction with the national party, paid big bucks to a tech firm founded by veterans of Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 campaign to build a voting app that aimed to not only improve the efficiency of the caucus process, but also to speed up reporting of voting results.
As the Los Angeles Times reported:
In 2016, for the first time, precinct chairs used a smartphone app built by Microsoft to relay results to party headquarters, enabling faster reporting than communicating via telephone hotline. This year, with the state party promising to disclose more granular data than in the past, the job of coding the app went to a fledgling tech firm run by veterans of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
It turned out to be a crushing failure.
And how? So much so, in fact, that ballot results are still being tabulated as of this writing on Thursday; in 2016, using older technology, Iowa caucus results were 90-percent known by midnight the day of the vote.
That also means that no one knows yet who won the caucus, though according to early returns, it looks like it’s either going to be former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg of super-socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders. Former Vice President Joe Biden, the party’s preferred 2020 candidate, is going to finish in a “gut-punch” fourth place.
But beyond the Iowa caucus drama, it is worth pointing out that, once again, Democrats have proven how hopelessly inept they are.
‘So, we don’t know all the results…’
The Iowa caucuses were nowhere near the scale of building a nearly $1 billion website (!!) to take orders for insurance plans. And Democrats still screwed it up.
Yet, they want Americans to believe that they can run really complex things like ‘government’ in general. Foreign policy. Healthcare. And anything else they can steal from the private sector.
A frustrated Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez on Thursday had seen enough (and, no doubt, had heard enough from a jeering public and a ticked off Democrat caucus). He demanded an Iowa ‘do-over,’ because nothing says “democracy” like holding vote after vote until you get the result you want.
“Enough is enough,” Perez said in a tweet. “In light of the problems that have emerged in the implementation of the delegate selection plan and in order to assure public confidence in the results, I am calling on the Iowa Democratic Party to immediately begin a recanvass.”
A recanvass itself is fraught with unknown pitfalls, as Big League Politics reported:
A recanvassing would stretch out the proceedings even longer, but it could reveal some discrepancies in the vote total. It would require caucus worksheets and reporting sheets to be audited by hand in order to ensure they were correct, at least theoretically.
For his part, Buttigieg isn’t waiting around for a recount or a recanvass or a re-anything. He’s declared victory and has moved on to the next primary, in New Hampshire — with a stopover at Donor Central to raise some more money.
“So we don’t know all the results, but we know by the time it’s all said and done, Iowa, you have shocked the nation,” he said on Monday night while addressing his supporters in Des Moines. “Because by all indications, we are going on to New Hampshire victorious.”
Here’s what Democrats also don’t know: How to run things.
If this caucus is any indication of the competency of the national party — and it is — then America’s far better off sticking with the Trump administration.

CREMATION VANS running 24/7 as China orders door-to-door mass roundups of infected citizens to be placed in "quarantine prison camps"

“ Wuhan is told to round up infected residents for mass quarantine camps , ” reports the New York Times , sounding almost exactly like InfoWars.com ’ s stories from weeks ago .
( Isn ’ t it interesting how the mainstream media sooner or later sounds like the independent media when the truth comes out ? )
“ In an effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus , China ’ s vice premier mandated on Feb. 6 that the Wuhan city government screen each resident ’ s body temperature by visiting their homes one by one , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ Chinese netizens are worried that the new regulation may inadvertently cause the virus to spread even more quickly.
” An official command from Vice Premier Sun Chunlan described the door-to-door mandatory medical search of every citizen in the region .
Via TET : At a Feb. 6 meeting on the outbreak response , Sun requested that the Wuhan government “ use the whole city ’ s resources and visit each family , to find the four types of people ” by taking their body temperatures .
The four types were referring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ patients ; patients who have a fever and have yet to be diagnosed for the virus ; and those who have close contact with diagnosed and suspected patients .
“ You can not miss any family , or any single person , ” Sun said , according to state-run media .
Sun used “ wartime ” to describe Wuhan ’ s current situation , adding that all four types of people must be sent to the city ’ s quarantine centers or hospitals .
She threatened Wuhan officials that they would be punished @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means that merely having “ close contact ” with a “ suspected patient ” can result in you being placed under medical arrest , forcibly removed from your home and placed in a quarantine prison camp under military surveillance .
There , you are very likely to be infected by other patients , of course , but China has a plan for that , too : Cremation vans that transport bodies straight from the “ hospitals ” to the cremation ovens in order to rapidly dispose of the bodies ( see links and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Times adds this quote from Sun Chunlan , who gave the order , sounding a whole lot like Hitler , Stalin or Mao : “ 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.
” As you read this article , remember that everything you are seeing in China today will come to America tomorrow .
This has been true with Big Tech ’ s draconian censorship measures , the rollout of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that punishes dissenting views , as well as authoritarian medical mandates that are rapidly being ramped up across America ( such as California ’ s SB 277 vaccine mandate law ) , following the blueprint of medical tyranny in mainland China .
The medical police state that has already become reality in China is just one CDC declaration from becoming the rule of law in America , as confirmed by the CDC ’ s claim of authority over all Americans during a pandemic outbreak .

CREMATION VANS running 24/7 as China orders door-to-door mass roundups of infected citizens to be placed in “quarantine prison camps”
Just when you thought China's draconian measures to stop the deadly coronavirus pandemic couldn't get any more draconian, the communist Chinese regime has announced a whole new level of medical tyranny: Door-to-door forced roundups of infected citizens who will be removed against their will and placed in "quarantine prison camps" that China absurdly calls "hospitals." (Real hospitals don't have bars on the windows of every patient's room, see photos below...)
"Wuhan is told to round up infected residents for mass quarantine camps," reports the New York Times, sounding almost exactly like InfoWars.com's stories from weeks ago. (Isn't it interesting how the mainstream media sooner or later sounds like the independent media when the truth comes out?)
"In an effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus, China’s vice premier mandated on Feb. 6 that the Wuhan city government screen each resident’s body temperature by visiting their homes one by one," reports The Epoch Times, warning that, "Chinese netizens are worried that the new regulation may inadvertently cause the virus to spread even more quickly."
An official command from Vice Premier Sun Chunlan described the door-to-door mandatory medical search of every citizen in the region. Via TET:
At a Feb. 6 meeting on the outbreak response, Sun requested that the Wuhan government “use the whole city’s resources and visit each family, to find the four types of people” by taking their body temperatures.
The four types were referring to: diagnosed coronavirus patients; suspected patients; patients who have a fever and have yet to be diagnosed for the virus; and those who have close contact with diagnosed and suspected patients.
“You cannot miss any family, or any single person,” Sun said, according to state-run media.
Sun used “wartime” to describe Wuhan’s current situation, adding that all four types of people must be sent to the city’s quarantine centers or hospitals.
She threatened Wuhan officials that they would be punished if they miss any resident.
This means that merely having "close contact" with a "suspected patient" can result in you being placed under medical arrest, forcibly removed from your home and placed in a quarantine prison camp under military surveillance. There, you are very likely to be infected by other patients, of course, but China has a plan for that, too: Cremation vans that transport bodies straight from the "hospitals" to the cremation ovens in order to rapidly dispose of the bodies (see links and photos below).
The New York Times adds this quote from Sun Chunlan, who gave the order, sounding a whole lot like Hitler, Stalin or Mao: "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."
As you read this article, remember that everything you are seeing in China today will come to America tomorrow. This has been true with Big Tech's draconian censorship measures, the rollout of a "social media scoring" system that punishes dissenting views, as well as authoritarian medical mandates that are rapidly being ramped up across America (such as California's SB 277 vaccine mandate law), following the blueprint of medical tyranny in mainland China.
The medical police state that has already become reality in China is just one CDC declaration from becoming the rule of law in America, as confirmed by the CDC's claim of authority over all Americans during a pandemic outbreak. Click here to read the CDC's full explanation of federal laws that allow it to run mandatory "medical police state" quarantine / roundup operations in America, just like we're now seeing in China.
To repeat, everything you are seeing in China right now can be implemented in America with a single declaration from the CDC.
Everything China tries to implement only makes the pandemic spread more quickly
The effort is almost sure to spread the pandemic more rapidly, as it allows health "officials" who will surely be quickly infected with the coronavirus to invade every individual home in the entire region, spreading the virus from one home to another. The order, if fully followed, is almost guaranteed to accelerate coronavirus infections that have already exceeded 30,000, according to "official" Chinese numbers.
Remember, China is a communist nation that couldn't control this coronavirus in a BSL-4 biohazard facility... how are they going to control it in the wild, on the streets of an open city populated by millions?
Via TET:
Sean Lin, a U.S.-based expert in microbiology and former virology researcher for the U.S. Army, [said], “her order worries me because the government cares more about politics than disease control, medical treatment, and humanitarian assistance."
Netizens seemed to agree. Yanan, a Wuhan neitizen posted on Weibo that he and his family members have not left their home since Jan. 23 and are healthy so far.
“Now you [the government] will arrange a person from the outside to enter our home and measure our temperature by using a thermometer from the outside [which may be contaminated with the virus],” Yanan said.
He added that because his household does not have disinfectant products, he may not have the proper tools to prevent the virus from spreading when the staff takes their temperatures.
In other words, in a desperate effort to stop the pandemic, they are going to invade every home in the region and introduce new risk factors for spreading infectious disease, then medically kidnap the very people they are infecting and ship them off to quarantine prison camps where they are likely to die, but in order to avoid admitting to the deaths, they will burn the bodies in cremation ovens and pretend nothing happened. The plan is so disastrously ill-conceived that it almost sounds like something comrade Bernie Sanders would try to implement if elected President.
TET also reports how this entire effort may cause even more people to become infected:
Other experts, such as U.S.-based China affairs commentator Ai Li, were skeptical that taking body temperatures can accurately identify coronavirus patients, particularly as Chinese medical experts have already confirmed that some people infected with the virus may not exhibit symptoms during the incubation period—a timespan of up to 14 days—but can still spread the virus to others.
She also questioned the authorities’ decision to send suspected patients to quarantine centers, as they could cross-infect each other.
“If you see the videos [that Chinese netizens filmed] of the quarantine centers and makeshift hospitals, you will know immediately that even healthy people will be sick in that environment,” Ai said on a Chinese-language commentary show on YouTube.
Wuhan netizens shared videos of the conditions at those facilities, saying that there is no medicine, no medical staff, very limited food and drinking water, as well as cold, unsanitary environs with unstable electricity.
In other words, it's a communist utopia! With this plan, China is making Venezuela's dumpster-diving mass starvation apocalypse look like a fun day at the park.
China's "hospitals" are military-run quarantine prison camps with bars on the windows
Remember when Hillary Clinton said that FEMA camps are "fun camps?" In China, military-run quarantine prison camps are called "hospitals."
All the rooms have bars on the windows to prevent "patients" from escaping, while held under armed guard by military troops.
Here's a recent photo of one of these facilities under construction. Notice the bars on every window? They're welded into place:
More videos of these quarantine prison camp "hospitals" can be found at NationalFile.com.
Cremation vans running 24/7 as dead bodies are pulled out of the quarantine prison camps and piled into ovens
Just as the quarantine prison camps are being rapidly expanded to hundreds of thousands of beds, news is leaking out about the so-called "cremation vans" which are collecting dead bodies and ferreting them into cremation ovens to eliminate the dead as quickly as possible.
"In a bold claim, Chinese-language news outlet Initium believe that Chinese authorities have been cremating bodies in secret," reports The Sun (UK). "This week, they interviewed people working at local cremation centres in Wuhan — where the virus originated from — who said bodies were being sent directly from hospitals without being properly identified and added to the official record."
As The Washington Examiner relates:
"Also, one thing that #China is hiding is the number of death caused by the virus," tweeted Deutsche Welle reporter William Yang. "Credible Chinese media outlet @initiumnews interviewed people working at local cremation centers, confirming that many dead bodies were sent directly from the hospitals to the cremation centers."
The mass cremation of the dead is one way China avoids having to report both infections and deaths. After all, there's no need to test a person after they're turned to ash, so the coronavirus can't be explicitly blamed for their death (plus, the hot fire burns away any last shred of any virus). This "final solution" is so ingenious by communist standards that the Chinese regime will no doubt soon expand this practice to the living, too.
The media is pretending the following photos don't exist, claiming the pandemic is imaginary
As an interesting note about the level of mass mental illness which has spread even faster than the coronavirus itself, the lying mainstream media continues to claim that anyone reporting the truth about the coronavirus pandemic is a "fear monger," even as those same media pundits practically claimed the world was coming to an end when the measles was spreading at Disneyland a few years ago. (Hint: That tiny measles outbreak produced exactly zero deaths.)
Now, the media seems to be claiming that there is no coronavirus pandemic and everybody is just imagining it, somehow. Anyone who even dares to talk about the reality of the pandemic in China is immediately branded a "fear monger." Remember this is coming from the same lying mainstream media outlets that told us President Trump was working for the Russians, and if we didn't urgently remove him from office, he would sell Alaska to Putin and throw all the children of the world into cages.
So, yeah, you can't really believe anything the mainstream media reports. They don't know the difference between a pandemic and a pan.
But that's why it's so important to show the world the photos of what's really happening in China.
This photos shows a partial image of one of these cremation vans -- i.e. "ambulance" in China's twisted word games -- as men in hazmat suits prepare to load up the body of another victim who collapsed dead on the sidewalk and apparently bled out:
Here's a top-down photo of another body or patient being loaded into an ambulance while under cover of what looks like a hazmat isolation structure:
As you see these photos, keep in mind that the lying fake news journalists of the mainstream media are right now trying to convince the world that none of this is happening:
Here's another dead body on the sidewalk that the mainstream media in America is apparently claiming is all staged, sort of like an Iowa caucus:

Meditation isn't just a relaxing activity; it also offers science-backed benefits such as improved brain function

( Natural News ) More and more people are practicing meditation with the discovery of its many health benefits .
To add to the list , researchers from the University of California Davis found that meditation has positive long-term effects on cognitive health .
The study , which was published in the Journal of Cognitive Enhancement , explained how meditation helps delay cognitive decline .
Despite the fact that it has been around for a long time , not a lot of research has been done on meditation .
The present study is the first comprehensive and longitudinal study conducted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meditation ’ s effects , especially when practiced diligently , could last for years .
The researchers noted that a person ’ s capacity to sustain attention diminishes as he or she ages .
They therefore sought to determine if a person ’ s focus can be enhanced through directed mental training or meditation .
They began their research by observing 60 participants who went on a meditation retreat at Shambhala Mountain Center in Red Lakes , Colorado .
The participants trained under B. Alan Wallace , a Buddhist teacher and contemplative scholar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s response inhibition , reaction time variability and vigilance .
These are important factors that help quantitatively measure sustained attention .
The researchers measured these factors at baseline , during and after the retreat .
They conducted three follow-up assessments after 6 months , after 1.5 years and after seven years .
Their findings showed that there were no significant changes in response inhibition accuracy among the participants .
This meant that the participants still exhibited moderately similar levels of attention seven years prior .
Meanwhile , continued meditation practice moderated any performance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ age .
The researchers reported that those who continued to meditate had better sustained attention , signifying better cognitive aging and maintenance .
Other benefits of meditation on brain health The study showed that meditation has long-term positive effects and can help maintain or improve attention span .
But the brain benefits of meditation include more than just that .
Here are some of the other positive effects of meditation on the brain : It helps protect the brain from age-related decline Past the age of 20 , the brain starts to decrease @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can lead to an increased risk of mental illness and neurodegenerative diseases .
However , researchers from the U.S. and Australia found that the brains of meditation practitioners have more gray matter than non-practitioners .
Their findings support the hypothesis that meditation protects the brain and delays brain tissue decline due to age .
The processing of pain begins in the mind .
One study found that people who received mindfulness training managed better when exposed to painful stimuli .

Meditation isn’t just a relaxing activity; it also offers science-backed benefits such as improved brain function
More and more people are practicing meditation with the discovery of its many health benefits. To add to the list, researchers from the University of California Davis found that meditation has positive long-term effects on cognitive health . The study, which was published in the Journal of Cognitive Enhancement, explained how meditation helps delay cognitive decline.
Meditation can improve sustained attention
Despite the fact that it has been around for a long time, not a lot of research has been done on meditation. The present study is the first comprehensive and longitudinal study conducted on meditation. The results showed that meditation's effects, especially when practiced diligently, could last for years.
The researchers noted that a person's capacity to sustain attention diminishes as he or she ages. They therefore sought to determine if a person's focus can be enhanced through directed mental training or meditation.
They began their research by observing 60 participants who went on a meditation retreat at Shambhala Mountain Center in Red Lakes, Colorado. The participants trained under B. Alan Wallace, a Buddhist teacher and contemplative scholar.
The researchers assessed the participant's response inhibition, reaction time variability and vigilance. These are important factors that help quantitatively measure sustained attention. The researchers measured these factors at baseline, during and after the retreat. They conducted three follow-up assessments after 6 months, after 1.5 years and after seven years.
Their findings showed that there were no significant changes in response inhibition accuracy among the participants. This meant that the participants still exhibited moderately similar levels of attention seven years prior.
Meanwhile, continued meditation practice moderated any performance deficits in the participants brought about by age. The researchers reported that those who continued to meditate had better sustained attention, signifying better cognitive aging and maintenance.
Other benefits of meditation on brain health
The study showed that meditation has long-term positive effects and can help maintain or improve attention span. But the brain benefits of meditation include more than just that. Here are some of the other positive effects of meditation on the brain:
It helps protect the brain from age-related decline
Past the age of 20, the brain starts to decrease in volume and weight. This deterioration can lead to an increased risk of mental illness and neurodegenerative diseases. However, researchers from the U.S. and Australia found that the brains of meditation practitioners have more gray matter than non-practitioners. Their findings support the hypothesis that meditation protects the brain and delays brain tissue decline due to age.
It helps control pain
The processing of pain begins in the mind. One study found that people who received mindfulness training managed better when exposed to painful stimuli. The researchers divided study participants into two groups and used functional MRI to monitor their brain activities. They reported that the group that received mindfulness training for four days had increased levels of activity in areas of the brain that control pain compared to the other group.

It helps prevent Alzheimer's disease
One study found that meditation – specifically, Kirtan Kriya (KK) – can improve memory in people with subjective cognitive decline. The researchers believe that combining KK (or meditation in general) with other factors like a healthy diet and regular exercise could help prevent Alzheimer's disease.

naturalnews--2020-02-06--Does the bacterium that causes Lyme disease also hold the key to treating Lyme arthritis?

( Natural News ) Lyme disease is one of the most common vector-borne diseases in the US .
The CDC reports that around 30,000 Americans get infected by Lyme every year .
However , other data gathering methods suggest that this number can rise to 300,000 cases each year .
Because of the rising number of Lyme disease cases , scientists have been interested in uncovering new and more effective treatments for the disease ’ s long term symptoms like Lyme arthritis .
Now , recent research suggests that the bacteria that causes Lyme disease – the tick-borne bacterium called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to treating Lyme arthritis .
A study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that B. burgdorferi peptidoglycan , a major component of the cell wall , acts as an immunogen that contributes to inflammation during Lyme infection and in cases of post-infectious Lyme arthritis .
“ This discovery will help researchers improve diagnostic tests and may lead to new treatment options for patients suffering from Lyme arthritis , ” said lead author Brandon Jutras in a statement .
“ This is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it has major implications for many manifestations of Lyme disease , not just Lyme arthritis.
” Researchers from Virginia Tech aimed to understand why certain cases of Lyme disease are unresponsive to treatment .
For some patients , symptoms persist even if there are no plausible signs of infection .
To investigate the reason , the research team used samples from individuals infected with Lyme disease , which have not responded to any sort of treatment .
From their analysis , the researchers found that peptidoglycan from B. burgdorferi is a major @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disease patients .
While all bacteria have some kind of peptidoglycan , the one found in B. burgdorferi harbors a unique chemical structure found nowhere else .
In addition , they noted that , when these bacteria multiply , they shed the peptidoglycan into the extracellular environment because they do not have the capability to recycle it back into the cell .

They also observed that peptidoglycan triggers an inflammatory response in the body and that the molecule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means that the body continues to respond to the presence of peptidoglycan , but fails to mount a counter-attack .
This phenomenon can also explain why the usual treatments prescribed by health practitioners fail to treat the symptoms of patients with late-stage Lyme disease .

The researchers hope that their findings can also be useful for applications outside of Lyme arthritis .
The next phase of their study is to utilize methods that destroy peptidoglycan or intervene with it to prevent an inflammatory response , which can pave the way for treating Lyme disease symptoms .

It's in the (cell) walls
Researchers from Virginia Tech aimed to understand why certain cases of Lyme disease are unresponsive to treatment.

(Related: A biocentric approach is key to curing Lyme disease naturally.)
They also observed that peptidoglycan triggers an inflammatory response in the body and that the molecule persists in the synovial fluid. This means that the body continues to respond to the presence of peptidoglycan, but fails to mount a counter-attack. This phenomenon can also explain why the usual treatments prescribed by health practitioners fail to treat the symptoms of patients with late-stage Lyme disease.
To further investigate the inflammatory activity of peptidoglycan, the researchers purified the bacteria and removed all other bacterial components. Afterward, they injected this purified sample into mice. Within 24 to 96 hours, the researchers observed that the animals' joints exhibited inflammation, indicating that peptidoglycan does indeed cause arthritis.
The researchers hope that their findings can also be useful for applications outside of Lyme arthritis. The next phase of their study is to utilize methods that destroy peptidoglycan or intervene with it to prevent an inflammatory response, which can pave the way for treating Lyme disease symptoms.
“We are interested in understanding everything associated with how patients respond, how we can prevent that response, and how we could possibly intervene with blocking therapies or therapies that eliminate the molecule entirely,” Jutras concluded.
While designing new treatments based on these findings is still far off into the future, the study still provides further insight into the mechanisms surrounding Lyme arthritis.

BREAKING: China to quarantine city of Shenzhen in Guangdong Province, causing “mad rush” to Hong Kong as (infected) citizens flee to other nations
This is a breaking news update from Natural News, translated from the Chinese language Liberty Times Net website, which has produced some of the best reporting on the coronavirus pandemic outbreak.
According to the report, the communist Chinese government has just announced the imminent quarantine of the city of Shenzhen in the Guangdong Province, causing a "mad rush" of Chinese citizens fleeing to Hong Kong to try to escape the quarantines before the international community blocks all flights from Hong Kong. This effort will, of course, only serve to accelerate the spread of the virus internationally.
There are roughly 25 million people in the greater Shenzhen municipal area, so this is a significant increase in the number of Chinese citizens who will soon be living under military-enforced quarantine. (Currently over 50 million, soon to be at least 75 million and growing...)
Here's the translated text that explains this. Just remember, automated machine translations from Chinese to English are very difficult, so the English appears quite broken:
Shenzhen News Network reported that the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government said on the 7th, all communities will be 100% closed management, if there are confirmed cases of residential "hard isolation" for 14 days, and organize "regulatory service team" to do key ethnic groups tracking, where there is a history of close contact with the case 100% of the implementation of centralized isolation, households also want to take temperature and other measures.
According to Hong Kong's "Position News" reported that Shenzhen city from the 8th began to seal the city after the announcement of the news, 7 days from the emergence of a large number of people want to pour into Hong Kong, from the scene film can be seen at 10:28 p.m., shenzhen port before the appearance of long lines of taxis, are to load the people of Shenzhen into Hong Kong, long car long about 1 km.
The same story also reports that the hard quarantine of Shenzhen begins on Feb. 8th (tomorrow), which is why people are panic fleeing today, while they can still get out: (another important reminder to always have a bugout bag)
Comprehensive Chinese media reports, the Shenzhen Municipal Government announced that from February 8 on the city's people's vehicles fully implement control, in the "vehicle epidemic control checkpoint" vehicle control, and foreign vehicles to sacrifice "advance declaration measures", the first time the public driving through the "vehicle epidemic prevention checkpoint", must be at least 1 day in advance of the Internet registration declaration, approval before passing.
The Wuhan quarantine has been breached... "Hong Kong is finished"
Shenzhen, in Southern China, is very close to Hong Kong. This explains why Shenzhen residents are fleeing to Hong Kong, no doubt bringing more infections with them. Many residents will attempt to take flights out of Hong Kong in order to escape the draconian quarantine, which means of course that some of these people will be inadvertently spreading the coronavirus pandemic to yet more countries, including the United States, which still accepts flights from Hong Kong and China.
According to the Liberty Times Net story, observers in Taiwan are now saying, "Hong Kong is finished" and are demanding that flights from Hong Kong be cut off in order to protect Taiwan and other Asian countries from the exploding pandemic. Some of the quotes in the story include, ""The people of Hong Kong are dead, Taiwan will soon be cut off..." and "next week becomes the crazy influx of Hong Kong people into Taiwan."
We pray for the people of Hong Kong in this desperate time. They are good people, and they don't deserve this madness from communist China.
China's quarantine efforts now accelerating the spread of the pandemic
It brings up an important point in all this. As China is chasing the outbreak with ever-expanding quarantines, the citizens who live in those areas are attempting to flee before the quarantine, causing a mass exodus of infected individuals who would have otherwise probably just stayed home if not for the draconian quarantine measures enacted by the Chinese government. In effect, the quarantines are accelerating the spread of the virus to other countries due to this "fleeing" effect.
Much of this likely stems from the fact that China is now running door-to-door roundups of citizens, medically kidnapping them and throwing them into "quarantine prison camps" with bars on the windows of each room. Nobody wants to end up a prisoner in one of these "death hospitals."
The coronavirus pandemic is currently spreading at the rate of roughly a 20% increase per day, achieving sustained, exponential growth that has spread to three cruise ships, dozens of countries and an ever-expanding list of mainland Chinese cities.
The initial attempt to quarantine the Wuhan region in order to stop the coronavirus has clearly failed. Yet the WHO, the CDC and the totally discredited mainstream media are still lying to the public, falsely claiming this outbreak is "under control" and "poses no risk to America." Those claims are malicious, dangerous lies that even the CDC's own scientists are contradicting in their public statements.
In addition, multiple health experts are now on the record confirming this pandemic has broken containment and will spread globally.
Any media source saying this is "no big deal" is actually trying to make the pandemic worse by keeping people uninformed and unprepared.
