Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up. Who would be fortunate enough to depict a famous basketball player’s death in virtually the very way it would occur a little over three years later? Why, Comedy Central, of course, and now, they have removed an episode of Legends of Chamberlain Heights that had just that scenario in it.
Originally airing on November 16, 2016, the episode of Legends of Chamberlain Heights titled “End of Days” joked about Kobe Bryant dying in a helicopter crash and on January 26, 2020 it actually happened.
Here’s the relevant portion of the pretty terrible cartoon.
Of course, it was said to have been pulled out of respect for Bryant’s wife and children, but if they really had respect for them, would they have even put this in the cartoon?
Out of respect for Kobe and his family we have removed the clip of him and ask that you please don’t share it. RIP Kobe and Gigi Bryant and everyone else who died in the helicopter crash today — Legends (@LegendsofCH) January 26, 2020
The synopsis for this episode is:
“A leaked sex tape causes a global internet blackout, and the Legends must find a way to survive the apocalypse. Meanwhile, Milk cashes in on his pirated Chinese satellite connection, which gives him access to the only internet left.”
Yeah, it’s classy.
BroBible adds:
The link to the episode on Comedy Central’s website no longer works. Additionally, what appeared to be a video of the clip on their Facebook page has also been deleted. The decision to remove to the clip was out of respect for the Bryant family, according to a tweet from the official Twitter account of Legends of Chamberlain Heights.
Legends of Chamberlain Heights first debuted on Comedy Central on September 14, 2016.

The thoughts and prayers of the entire BroBible team out go out to the friends, family, and loved ones of the Bryant family during this extremely difficult time. May Kobe, Gianna, and all of the victims of the crash rest in peace.

This is indeed a frightening prospect, but we are still trying to figure out the truth of what is happening and the dangers that are present.
That final link, of an article written before the latest news, turned out to be mildly prophetic as Weather.com reported on Sunday.
Two new U.S. cases of the deadly coronavirus that is spreading from central China were confirmed Sunday: one in Los Angeles County, California, and the other in Maricopa County, Arizona.
This brings to five the total number of cases in the U.S.. All of the U.S. patients had traveled to Wuhan, the Chinese city that is the center of the outbreak, according to The Associated Press.
Canada also has reported its first case of the disease, which has killed 56 people and sickened more than 2,000.

Americans are not ready and willing to surrender any more gun rights, no matter what anyone in the media says.
Here’s a reality check for liberals — Michigan is historically considered a blue state, though Trump did win it in 2016.
Pushing more gun control won’t help liberals win Michigan back, any time soon.
Americans are not stupid.
Sometimes a gun is the only difference between life and death for innocent citizens.
Liberals like Michael Bloomberg try to convince us Americans to give up our guns.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-27--The Oregon Standoff: Understanding LaVoy Finicum’s Death & the Management of BLM Land

When one talks about the Bundy Family , the first thing that springs to mind is the standoff in Nevada in 2014 .
However , perhaps even more important is the standoff and occupation at Oregon ’ s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016 .
Indeed , the two events are often conflated because Ammon Bundy is the son of Cliven Bundy , the man who stood up to the federal government over “ grazing fees ” on Bureau of Land Management land .
The occupation was a highlight for both the militia and the sovereign citizen movement as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The main argument from those occupying the land is that the federal government is mandated by law to turn over the land that they manage to the individual states in which the land sits .
This , they argued , was particularly true of the Bureau of Land Management , United States Forestry Service , and United States Fish and Wildlife Service land .
The 2016 Oregon standoff was over two ranchers convicted of arson on federal lands – despite the fact that the men , a father and son pair named Dwight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want their support .
Harney County in rural eastern Oregon is one of the largest counties in the United States by land mass , but one of the smallest when it comes to population .
With a mere 7,700 people , cows outnumber humans in Harney by a factor of 14-to-1 .
Nearly three quarters of the land in the county is federally managed .
The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge was established by then-President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908 .
It ’ s a large area of the county and surrounding area at 187,757 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ land differently , it is worth taking a closer look at the Bureau of Land Management ( BLM ) as a template case for how federal land management works in general .
The BLM manages fully 1/8th of all the landmass of the United States .
The Bureau was created by then-President Harry S. Truman in 1946 , through the combination of two existing federal agencies – the General Land Office and the Grazing Service .
Most BLM land is concentrated in 12 Western states : Alaska , Arizona , California , Colorado @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New Mexico , Oregon , Utah , Washington , and Wyoming .
There ’ s truth to the idea that BLM lands are largely lands that no one wanted to settle .
The actual land is remnants held for homesteading that no homesteaders actually claimed .
Ranchers , however , often use the land for grazing with 18,000 permits and leases held for 155 million acres .
There are also over 63,000 gas and oil wells , as well as extensive coal and mineral mining .
So while the land might be land @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live on and farm , it is far from without value .
Part of the controversy in both the Nevada and Oregon standoffs was the question of ownership of these public lands .
Cliven Bundy did not feel obligated to pay grazing fees for what is ostensibly “ public ” land that , the argument goes , is not owned by the federal government at all , but no one in particular .
Similarly , the men who were convicted of “ arson ” on federal land weren ’ t terrorists or thrill-seeking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ longer-standing dispute with the federal government over their right to graze cattle on the land that started with the pair doing controlled burns that became uncontrolled .
They became a cause celebre for the Bundy crew , because they were another symbol of the conflict over who rightfully owned the land .
This comes down to a question of ownership : Can the federal government simply decide that it “ owns ” 1/8th of the country that is supposed to be set aside for the general public ?
Does the federal government have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the states ?
Homesteading was technically still allowed until 1976 ( 1986 in Alaska ) , but the formation of the BLM in 1964 effectively spelled the end of homesteading in the lower 48 .
The argument of Ammon Bundy and company was that the federal government had no such authority , which instead rested with the states .
In a certain sense , this is a purely academic question .
In another sense , the federal government owns whatever it says it does , because who is going to say otherwise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and argument that underpinned the occupation of the Wildlife Refuge .
It is briefly worth addressing “ Agenda 21 ” before moving on , as many of those involved in the standoff believed in this .
The veracity of Agenda 21 is not important for our purposes .
What is important is that many of the people involved in the standoff believed it to be true .
Agenda 21 is a name for a supposed United Nations statement on reducing the world population from above 7 billion to below 1 billion .
Those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United Nations believe that it will take place effectively by hoarding everyone off of the land and into cities , where they will be reliant upon others for food production .
They also believe that it will take the form of state-funded or state-mandated abortions .
In some cases , they believe that autism caused by vaccines is a way to lower the population since people with autism are far less likely to have children than those without .
This is an important context for the standoff , because some of those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the freedom of two men they believed to be wrongfully convicted of arson or even over obscure questions of natural and Constitutional law , but for their very lives , livelihood and posterity against a tyrannical would-be one-world government .
One does not need to agree with the world view of these people to see it as an important factor in the standoff .
Who Are Bundy and Finicum ?
Ammon Bundy is a name probably known to many readers of this website .
He is the son of Cliven Bundy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the BLM over grazing rights in Nevada in 2014 .
Ammon had recently formed the group Citizens for Constitutional Freedom .
A faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints , Ammon believed , as did his father , that his resistance to the federal government was not merely political , but specifically ordered by God .
Lavoy Finicum , also a member of the Church of Latter-Day Saints , was another leader of the movement .
Like Cliven Bundy , Finicum decided that he was no longer going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He published a video on YouTube where he stated that he did not believe that it was legal for the federal government to own the land in question , and cited Cliven Bundy as a direct inspiration for his new stand against the federal government .
He refused to pay $ 12,000 in fees accrued in under six months .
Finicum had also been on the federal radar after he was erroneously named in a case against William Keebler , who planted a bomb at a BLM cabin .
If there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might know Finicum as “ tarp man ” due to his omnipresent blue tarp that he used to protect himself from the elements .
It ’ s not necessary to get too lost in the weeds on the Hammond arson case , however , it does bear a simple retelling .
Dwight Lincoln Hammond , Jr. and his son Steven Dwight Hammond were convicted of two counts of arson in 2012 , in relation to two fires they set in 2001 and 2006 .
The pair agreed not to appeal their sentences in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The father served three months and the son served a year and a day , the whole of their sentence .
After release , however , the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ( who else ? )
demanded that they be resentenced .
The pair were resentenced for five years , with credit for time served and ordered to return to prison .
They were eventually pardoned by President Trump on July 10 , 2018 .
However , in the interim , Ammon Bundy and Ryan Payne made plans for what they called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rejected the help of this protest , but it went ahead anyway .
On November 5 , 2015 , Bundy arranged a meeting with Sheriff David Ward for later that day .
Bundy and Payne insisted that the sheriff do all that he could to protect the Hammonds from returning to prison .
Ward explained that there wasn ’ t much he could do .
He also reported that Bundy and Payne became somewhat threatening and aggressive when he told them this .
It was then that the specter of an armed militia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , both Bundy and Hammond had moved to the area .
They began organizing a “ Committee of Safety ” modeled on those of the Revolutionary period .
Local residents began to notice a lot of outsiders in the community at this time and they weren ’ t exactly a welcome addition – many would aggressively ask locals about their opinion on the matter .
Local police and federal employees in the area reported that they , their spouses and even their children had been followed home or to school by militia members @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place where , previously , it had not .
The situation was incredibly tense .
There were two public forums early in January 2016 , designed to defuse tensions between locals and militia members .
After a peaceful January 2nd protest ended , Ammon Bundy urged people to join him in an armed occupation of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge .
Ammon and Ryan Bundy moved to the refuge with a number of armed participants and began setting up defensive positions .
Law enforcement largely avoided the area due to the tense situation and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The standoff continued for six weeks , largely without incident .
There was a lot of bluster , mostly from the Bundy camp , but not much happened for the most part .
Court orders were issued and ignored .
January 6th saw a fistfight between a group called “ Veterans on Patrol ” and militants in the refuge .
Indeed , the occupation was largely uneventful , save for the death of LaVoy Finicum .
On January 26th , Finicum left the refuge with other leaders and supporters of the occupation in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that federal authorities attempted to arrest him for the first time using a traffic stop .
Ammon Bundy and Brian Cavalier were peacefully arrested at this time .
Finicum was quite nearly arrested .
His truck was stopped and hit with a 40mm plastic-tipped round of pepper spray .
It was at this time that he refused to kill the engine on his truck and informed officers that the only way they were going to prevent him from reaching his rendezvous point was to shoot him .
He is reported to have yelled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You back down or you kill me now .
Go ahead .
Put the bullet through me .
I don ’ t care .
I ’ m going to go meet the sheriff .
You do as you damned well please.
” Seven minutes after the stop , Finicum drove off in his truck with two passengers .
His truck became stuck in the snow before a roadblock .
He narrowly avoided hitting an FBI agent .
He ran out of his truck and was fired upon twice by the Oregon State Police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
One hit his truck and the other went wild as Finicum moved around in the snow .
According to the FBI , he alternated between holding his hands up and reaching toward his jacket where he had a loaded semi-automatic weapon .
According to the Oregon State Police , Finicum repeatedly yelled , “ You ’ re going to have to shoot me !
” and the officers considered him a lethal threat to an officer armed only with a taser .
They claimed that he reached for his pocket .
Two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a third officer holding his fire when he realized that a fourth shot wasn ’ t needed .
He was provided with medical assistance 10 minutes after the shooting .
According to footage and witnesses featured in the documentary American Standoff , officers shot Finicum the moment he stepped out of his truck with his hands up , and continued to fire shots at the vehicle as well as gas the other two passengers .
FBI Agent W. Joseph Astarita was prosecuted for five counts of lying to investigators in relation to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acquitted on all of them .
A tape of the incident was released to the public , however , as is often the case , people saw what they wanted to see .
The Finicum family commissioned a private autopsy , but did not share the results with the public .
Finicum ’ s widow Jeanette filed suit against the Oregon State Police , while his family filed a wrongful death suit against the federal government , the State of Oregon , the Bureau of Land Management and many other public officials and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another two weeks but had largely lost steam as the militants ’ leaders had mostly been arrested or surrendered or both .
On the afternoon of February 10th , some remaining militants drove past a roadblock at high speed .
Michele Fiore attempted to mediate the situation and de-escalate .
This resulted in the remaining militants surrendering at 8am the next day .
All told , 27 militants were arrested in relation to the occupation , 26 of these for a single federal count of conspiracy to impede officers of the U.S. from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of force , intimidation , or threats .
Several of these were indicted on state charges as well .
Why Does the Oregon Standoff Matter ?
The standoff in Oregon matters for two main reasons : First , it is yet another example of how an armed population can sway the hand of government .
Remember that the Hammonds eventually were pardoned .
But more than this , it provides a lesson in how not to go about resistance .
There is nothing to be gained by occupying an area where the local @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Oregon occupation , while many in the area were sympathetic to the Hammonds and expressed such at public forums designed to mediate between the locals and the militia , the militants were largely outsiders who had come into the area to support someone who didn ’ t even want their support .
For their part , the militiamen weren ’ t by all accounts going out of their way to win hearts and minds .
None of this requires absolving the federal government or the Oregon State Police for their role @ @ @ @ @ @ @ however , shine a light on the role of optics and tactics when confronting federal power .
All things considered , this might not have been the right battle to pick .
There is one last point to be made , however : Despite the outcome , the federal government now has another example to look to that will urge it to exercise caution and restraint when dealing with armed protesters .
This was not a situation like Waco or Ruby Ridge .
The Second Amendment and militia movements have learned a lot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before things spiral out of control .
The occupation might not have been perfect , but that doesn ’ t mean it wasn ’ t worth it .

When one talks about the Bundy Family, the first thing that springs to mind is the standoff in Nevada in 2014. However, perhaps even more important is the standoff and occupation at Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016. Indeed, the two events are often conflated because Ammon Bundy is the son of Cliven Bundy, the man who stood up to the federal government over “grazing fees” on Bureau of Land Management land.
The occupation was a highlight for both the militia and the sovereign citizen movement as well as proponents of states’ rights. The main argument from those occupying the land is that the federal government is mandated by law to turn over the land that they manage to the individual states in which the land sits. This, they argued, was particularly true of the Bureau of Land Management, United States Forestry Service, and United States Fish and Wildlife Service land.
The 2016 Oregon standoff was over two ranchers convicted of arson on federal lands – despite the fact that the men, a father and son pair named Dwight and Steven Dwight Hammond, did not want their support.

With a mere 7,700 people, cows outnumber humans in Harney by a factor of 14-to-1. Nearly three quarters of the land in the county is federally managed. The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge was established by then-President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908. It’s a large area of the county and surrounding area at 187,757 acres.

While each federal agency manages land differently, it is worth taking a closer look at the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a template case for how federal land management works in general.

In a certain sense, this is a purely academic question. In another sense, the federal government owns whatever it says it does, because who is going to say otherwise? However, this was the theory and argument that underpinned the occupation of the Wildlife Refuge.
What is Agenda 21?
It is briefly worth addressing “Agenda 21” before moving on, as many of those involved in the standoff believed in this. The veracity of Agenda 21 is not important for our purposes. What is important is that many of the people involved in the standoff believed it to be true.

Warden In Charge At Time Of Jeffrey Epstein ’ s “ Death ” To Be Given Top Job At “ Club Fed ” Prison Is anyone paying attention ?
The same Bill Barr that defended the FBI and a sniper with the FBI that shot an unarmed Vicki Weaver in the head with a baby in her arms has stepped in against a transfer of the warden of MCC Manhattan to be given a top job at a low-security “ Club Fed ” prison in Burlington County , New Jersey after he allegedly ordered him assigned to a lowly desk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Deep State : Epstein Died From “ A Perfect Storm Of Screw Ups ” • Anniversary Of Ruby Ridge Is Time To Remind People Trump Put A Deep State Attorney General In Place Lamine N ’ Diaye is being reassigned to a leadership role at FCI Fort Dix .
Of course , the order was to be in place until the investigation into Epstein ’ s death was complete .
Frankly , most of us are still questioning whether the man is actually dead , and I don ’ t know one person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he committed suicide , not one person .
• Epstein Autopsy Photos : More Evidence He Was Murdered • Is the Death of Epstein Even Credible ?
• Pathologist Report : Epstein ’ s Autopsy More Consistent With Homicide Than Suicide • Forensic Pathologist Demolishes NY Medical Examiner ’ s Claim Of Jeffrey Epstein ’ s Suicide – Previous Death of Inmate With Hyoid Bone Fracture Ruled Homicide Lamine N ’ Diaye is being reassigned to a leadership role at FCI Fort Dix , a low-security prison in Burlington County , New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter said .
The move comes months after Barr ordered N ’ Diaye be reassigned to a desk post at the Bureau of Prisons ’ regional office in Pennsylvania after Epstein´s death as the FBI and the Justice Department´s inspector general investigated .
One of the people said the agency planned to move N´Diaye into the new role on February 2 .
The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity to discuss an internal personnel matter .
It was unclear why the agency was planning to return N ’ Diaye to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , even though multiple investigations into Epstein´s death remain active .
Remember , don ’ t listen to what they say , look at what they do .
To be fair , The New York Times reported that the Feds had “ backtracked ” on the warden ’ s transfer .
The Bureau of Prisons is holding off on transferring the warden who was in charge of the New York City jail where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself .
The agency said Tuesday it would defer the transfer of Lamine N ’ Diaye to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a low-security prison in Burlington County , New Jersey , until the internal investigation is completed into the circumstances surrounding Epstein ’ s death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center .
Barr ordered N ’ Diaye be reassigned to a desk post at the Bureau of Prisons ’ regional office in Pennsylvania after Epstein ’ s death as the FBI and the Justice Department ’ s inspector general investigated .
The inspector general ’ s investigation is continuing , and the Justice Department is still probing the circumstances that led to Epstein ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t given a cellmate .
But the Bureau of Prisons had planned to move N ’ Diaye to the new role on Feb. 2 , which would have put him back in the field supervising inmates and staff members .
Notice the response only came after the AP reported on the transfer .
I thought this was and open and shut case of suicide ?
Why are there still ongoing investigations ?
The judge has already thrown the Epstein case out .
What is there to investigate over a person that apparently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in compromising situations not being under 24 hour surveillance in a maximum security prison ?
What could they possibly uncover now , and would they even share it with the public ?

Warden In Charge At Time Of Jeffrey Epstein’s “Death” To Be Given Top Job At “Club Fed” Prison
Is anyone paying attention? The same Bill Barr that defended the FBI and a sniper with the FBI that shot an unarmed Vicki Weaver in the head with a baby in her arms has stepped in against a transfer of the warden of MCC Manhattan to be given a top job at a low-security “Club Fed” prison in Burlington County, New Jersey after he allegedly ordered him assigned to a lowly desk job.
Yes, this Bill Barr.
Lamine N’Diaye is being reassigned to a leadership role at FCI Fort Dix.
Of course, the order was to be in place until the investigation into Epstein’s death was complete.
Frankly, most of us are still questioning whether the man is actually dead, and I don’t know one person buying into the tales we are told that he committed suicide, not one person.
Lamine N’Diaye is being reassigned to a leadership role at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security prison in Burlington County, New Jersey, two people familiar with the matter said.
The move comes months after Barr ordered N’Diaye be reassigned to a desk post at the Bureau of Prisons’ regional office in Pennsylvania after Epstein´s death as the FBI and the Justice Department´s inspector general investigated.
One of the people said the agency planned to move N´Diaye into the new role on February 2. The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity to discuss an internal personnel matter.
It was unclear why the agency was planning to return N’Diaye to a position supervising inmates and staff members, even though multiple investigations into Epstein´s death remain active.
Remember, don’t listen to what they say, look at what they do.
To be fair, The New York Times reported that the Feds had “backtracked” on the warden’s transfer.
The Bureau of Prisons is holding off on transferring the warden who was in charge of the New York City jail where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.
The agency said Tuesday it would defer the transfer of Lamine N’Diaye to a leadership role at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security prison in Burlington County, New Jersey, until the internal investigation is completed into the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
…
The AP reported last week that N’Diaye was to be transferred despite multiple active investigations into Epstein’s death. The agency’s backtracking came after Attorney General William Barr stepped in and told officials at the Bureau of Prisons to reverse course given the active investigations, a person familiar with the matter told the AP. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an internal personnel matter.
Barr ordered N’Diaye be reassigned to a desk post at the Bureau of Prisons’ regional office in Pennsylvania after Epstein’s death as the FBI and the Justice Department’s inspector general investigated. The inspector general’s investigation is continuing, and the Justice Department is still probing the circumstances that led to Epstein’s death, including why he wasn’t given a cellmate. But the Bureau of Prisons had planned to move N’Diaye to the new role on Feb. 2, which would have put him back in the field supervising inmates and staff members. Notice the response only came after the AP reported on the transfer. I thought this was and open and shut case of suicide? Why are there still ongoing investigations? The judge has already thrown the Epstein case out. What is there to investigate over a person that apparently had the goods on many world leaders in compromising situations not being under 24 hour surveillance in a maximum security prison? What could they possibly uncover now, and would they even share it with the public? But wait and see, this will blow over and the warden will more than likely take a nice cushy job just like the one he was about to take.
A similar thing happened for the attorney who helped give Jeffrey Epstein his sweetheart deal. After doing so, he was then appointed as President Donald Trump’s Labor Secretary.
Let’s not forget that plenty of people have died around the Epstein case already.
You see people, when these people don’t do their jobs and actually bring justice, they end up getting rewarded.
The only way to ensure that things like this never occur is to bring some justice in the matter, and it doesn’t look like AG Barr is interested in doing anything remotely close to dealing with this former Warden. Why should this warden even be given a lowly desk job if things were so fouled up with Epstein? Or is this warden simply the scapegoat for what really took place?

thewashingtonstandard--2020-01-28--Mainstream Media Hasn’t Been Telling Us The Truth About This Coronavirus Outbreak

Ever since this coronavirus outbreak first began , the mainstream media has been feeding us fake news over and over again .
Initially , we were repeatedly told that there was very little to be concerned about because it was very unlikely that human to human transmission was happening .
But now we know that this virus spreads very , very easily between people .
Another thing that we were repeatedly told by the mainstream media was that a victim had to start showing symptoms before they could spread the disease .
Unfortunately , now we know that is completely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see below , Chinese officials have confirmed that even those showing no symptoms at all can spread the disease .
But perhaps the biggest fraud of all has been the “ official numbers ” that the Chinese government has been putting out .
According to the latest count , there are now 2,051 confirmed cases and the death toll has risen to 56 , but at this point , it has become clear that those numbers are completely divorced from reality .
Over the past several days , thousands upon thousands of very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hospitals in Wuhan , China .
In some cases , people have literally had to wait in line for two days to see a doctor , and in other cases , people have not been able to see a doctor at all .
In fact , one 36-year-old woman has taken her very sick husband to multiple hospitals and they still haven ’ t been able to see a doctor .
The following comes from the South China Morning Post… One 36-year-old , speaking by phone outside a major hospital in the city @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week taking her sick husband from hospital to hospital in a vain attempt to get him tested for the virus , which has already killed 41 people and infected hundreds more .
“ I have nothing .
No protective clothing , only a raincoat , and I am standing outside the hospital in the rain , ” said the woman , who gave her name as Xiaoxi .
“ I am desperate , I have lost count of time and days .
I don ’ t know if we will both live to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first developed a fever 10 days ago and he has been coughing up blood , but he wasn ’ t tested for the virus at any of the four hospitals that they visited .
At one point they even called an ambulance , and that didn ’ t even work .
Sadly , the truth is that there are hordes of very sick people in Wuhan that are not showing up in the official numbers because there are not enough medical personnel to test them all .
And many of the medical personnel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this outbreak end up getting the virus themselves .
In fact , one heroic doctor in Wuhan passed away on Saturday morning… In addition to not being able to test everyone that is sick , the Chinese have also been purposely suppressing the death toll by falsely categorizing the deaths of many of the victims… So what would the real numbers look like if we were being told the truth ?
We don ’ t really know , but experts at Lancaster University believe that “ there may already be 11,000 people infected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is anywhere close to reality , that would be really , really bad .
But a video that claims to be from a nurse in Wuhan claims that things are even worse than that .
According to her , there are already 90,000 cases of the coronavirus in China… It is important to note that what she is reporting is entirely unconfirmed , and at this point , there doesn ’ t seem to be any way to confirm her claims .
But what Chinese officials are now confirming is that this virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ symptoms at all… This is completely contrary to what we were told previously .
And we were also previously told that the incubation period was a week or less , but now we are being told that the incubation period can last for as long as 14 days… That means that there could be thousands upon thousands of people that aren ’ t exhibiting any symptoms at all that are spreading this virus around like wildfire all over the globe right at this moment .
Why didn ’ t they just tell us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If they didn ’ t know what was happening , it would have been okay for them to admit that .
Instead , they fed us bad information that turned out to be completely false .
Chinese officials are assuring us that they have everything under control because they have now locked down a whole bunch of major cities .
But that isn ’ t going to stop the spread of the virus .
Millions of people left Wuhan before that city was quarantined , and many others have been able to skirt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The following comes from Zero Hedge… This extremely deadly coronavirus , wherever it originally came from , is now out of the bag .
With each passing hour , more cases are being confirmed all over the world , and there are now five confirmed cases in the United States .
Life is so fragile , and as the whole world just witnessed , it can end way too soon .
The time of “ the perfect storm ” is here , and the headlines are only going to become more alarming in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not a time for fear or panic .
Yes , things are going to get a lot worse .
And yes , a lot more people are going to die .
But those that are level-headed have the best chance of making it through any crisis , and giving in to fear or panic is not going to help matters at all .

Ever since this coronavirus outbreak first began, the mainstream media has been feeding us fake news over and over again. Initially, we were repeatedly told that there was very little to be concerned about because it was very unlikely that human to human transmission was happening. But now we know that this virus spreads very, very easily between people. Another thing that we were repeatedly told by the mainstream media was that a victim had to start showing symptoms before they could spread the disease. Unfortunately, now we know that is completely and totally false. As you will see below, Chinese officials have confirmed that even those showing no symptoms at all can spread the disease. But perhaps the biggest fraud of all has been the “official numbers” that the Chinese government has been putting out. According to the latest count, there are now 2,051 confirmed cases and the death toll has risen to 56, but at this point, it has become clear that those numbers are completely divorced from reality.
Over the past several days, thousands upon thousands of very sick people have been absolutely overwhelming the hospitals in Wuhan, China. In some cases, people have literally had to wait in line for two days to see a doctor, and in other cases, people have not been able to see a doctor at all. In fact, one 36-year-old woman has taken her very sick husband to multiple hospitals and they still haven’t been able to see a doctor. The following comes from the South China Morning Post…
One 36-year-old, speaking by phone outside a major hospital in the city, said she had spent the past week taking her sick husband from hospital to hospital in a vain attempt to get him tested for the virus, which has already killed 41 people and infected hundreds more. “I have nothing. No protective clothing, only a raincoat, and I am standing outside the hospital in the rain,” said the woman, who gave her name as Xiaoxi. “I am desperate, I have lost count of time and days. I don’t know if we will both live to see the new year.”
Her husband first developed a fever 10 days ago and he has been coughing up blood, but he wasn’t tested for the virus at any of the four hospitals that they visited.
At one point they even called an ambulance, and that didn’t even work.
Sadly, the truth is that there are hordes of very sick people in Wuhan that are not showing up in the official numbers because there are not enough medical personnel to test them all.
And many of the medical personnel that are working endless hours to fight this outbreak end up getting the virus themselves. In fact, one heroic doctor in Wuhan passed away on Saturday morning…
A doctor working at a hospital in Wuhan, China — treating patients stricken with the coronavirus — died Saturday morning. Liang Wudong, 62, died after he was infected with Wuhan coronavirus.
In addition to not being able to test everyone that is sick, the Chinese have also been purposely suppressing the death toll by falsely categorizing the deaths of many of the victims…
A 53-year-old fitness trainer died on Wednesday after checking into a hospital in Wuhan a little more than a week earlier, said his niece. His family had expected the death certificate to reflect the deadly coronavirus, because as his condition deteriorated, his doctors told his family he was suffering from an untreatable virus in his lungs. Instead, it recorded “severe pneumonia” as the cause of death, she said. The relatives of two other people who died in separate hospitals in Wuhan this week also described similar situations, saying the causes of death had been given as “viral pneumonia.”
So what would the real numbers look like if we were being told the truth?
We don’t really know, but experts at Lancaster University believe that “there may already be 11,000 people infected in Wuhan”…
A sobering assessment last week by experts at Lancaster University estimated there may already be 11,000 people infected in Wuhan – and that only one in 20 infections has come to medical attention. The experts calculated the number could grow to 190,000 by February 4.
If that estimate is anywhere close to reality, that would be really, really bad.
But a video that claims to be from a nurse in Wuhan claims that things are even worse than that.
According to her, there are already 90,000 cases of the coronavirus in China…
A nurse wearing a protective suit and face mask treating the sick in Wuhan has claimed that 90,000 people have already been infected by the coronavirus in China – far more than the figure of just 1,975 issued by government officials. Her warning from the heart of the outbreak emerged as the Chinese government faced accusations of censoring criticism of its handling of the disease in order to play down the crisis.
It is important to note that what she is reporting is entirely unconfirmed, and at this point, there doesn’t seem to be any way to confirm her claims.
But what Chinese officials are now confirming is that this virus can be spread by victims without any symptoms at all…
China’s health minister Ma Xiaowei made a startling statement Sunday about the Wuhan coronavirus: He said people can spread it before they become symptomatic. “This is a game changer,” said Dr. William Schaffner, a longtime adviser to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This is completely contrary to what we were told previously.
And we were also previously told that the incubation period was a week or less, but now we are being told that the incubation period can last for as long as 14 days…
China’s National Health Commission Minister Ma Xiaowei said the incubation period for the virus can range from one to 14 days, during which infection can occur, which was not the case with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
That means that there could be thousands upon thousands of people that aren’t exhibiting any symptoms at all that are spreading this virus around like wildfire all over the globe right at this moment.
Why didn’t they just tell us the truth right from the beginning?
If they didn’t know what was happening, it would have been okay for them to admit that. Instead, they fed us bad information that turned out to be completely false.
Chinese officials are assuring us that they have everything under control because they have now locked down a whole bunch of major cities.
But that isn’t going to stop the spread of the virus. Millions of people left Wuhan before that city was quarantined, and many others have been able to skirt around the travel restrictions quite easily. The following comes from Zero Hedge…
Yet, but… there is just one problem: the much needed quarantine and lockdown were far too late, because as Wuhan’s mayor Zhou Xianwang revealed on Sunday during a press conference, about 5 million residents had already left Wuhan before the lockdown because of the deadly coronavirus epidemic and the Spring Festival holiday . As the SCMP reports, many of Wuhan’s residents had already left the city for the holiday, while others rushed out after the lockdown was announced on Wednesday night. As a result, only 9 million people were remaining in the city after the lockdown, with roughly a third of it, including countless cases of coronavirus, having already spread across China.
This extremely deadly coronavirus, wherever it originally came from, is now out of the bag.
With each passing hour, more cases are being confirmed all over the world, and there are now five confirmed cases in the United States.
Life is so fragile, and as the whole world just witnessed, it can end way too soon. The time of “the perfect storm” is here, and the headlines are only going to become more alarming in the days ahead.
But this is not a time for fear or panic.
Yes, things are going to get a lot worse.
And yes, a lot more people are going to die.
But those that are level-headed have the best chance of making it through any crisis, and giving in to fear or panic is not going to help matters at all.
