investmentwatchblog--2020-07-17--Mr. President, We Can Save Economy and Stop Covid-19 with This Executive Order

Mr. President , this is the most important column I ’ ve ever written .
We have a successful treatment for Covid-19 .
Now we need an Executive Order from you to put it into play .
More on that in a minute .
Let me first mention a few reasons we don ’ t need to panic .
Covid-19 is not the end of the world , or America .
First , why was the liberal media playing up “ deaths ” for months…putting daily “ death counts ” on the front page of newspapers…yet now that the death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re using “ cases ” as the new metric .
Are they trying to create hysteria ?
Do they want the economy shut down ?
Second , why isn ’ t anyone comparing Sweden with Michigan ?
Sweden is a country of 10 million that never closed their economy .
Not for one day , not for one minute .
Everyone went about their business and lived their lives .
They have 5,545 dead .
Michigan is a state of about 9.9 million .
The same size as Sweden .
They locked down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , tighter than any state in America .
They have 6,075 dead .
More than Sweden .
This proves there is no need to ever shut down our economy , or lockdown the people .
It doesn ’ t work .
Period .
End of story .
It ’ s the perfect apples to apples comparison .
Sweden is the winner .
Michigan is the loser .
People will get sick with Covid-19 no matter what we do .
But when you close the economy , the cure is worse than the disease @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are broke , with their businesses closed , jobs gone , lives in shambles .
Government has it even worse .
Every state and city government in America is now hopelessly broke and desperate .
That ’ s the result of just one closure that lasted only two months .
If we close again , we will destroy the US economy forever .
Third , and here ’ s the big one .
I keep asking this question , and I ’ m still waiting for answer .
What is the difference between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1968-69 ?
By every measure it appears to be a carbon copy .
It ’ s the same flu pandemic , from the same place , with the same results- over 100,000 dead at a time when America was dramatically smaller .
Nevertheless , we never closed the economy , or sports events , or concerts , or Vegas casinos , or schools , or anything .
We let Woodstock go on in the summer of 1969 , with over 400,000 young people having sex with strangers , playing on top of one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It didn ’ t ruin America .
The media said nothing about it .
There was no panic or hysteria .
There were no lockdowns , or shutdown .
It was the flu .
Life went on .
So , what ’ s the big difference today ?
Other than Donald J. Trump as president .
Other than a mentally insane and vicious left with “ Trump Derangement Syndrome.
” Other than a nation filled with liberal snowflakes , afraid of their own shadow .
Other than a Democrat Party willing to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s economy , or lock us all in our homes , demand a mail-in ballot election , and steal the election from Trump and the Silent Majority ( because they know that ’ s the only way they can win ) .
We need to go on with our lives- just like 1968-69 .
Now to the solution .
This solution saves the economy .
It protects the elderly .
It stops the panic and hysteria .
No one ever again needs to fear leaving their home .
We can all go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of lives .
Because we have a treatment that works .
My guest on my national radio show “ Wayne Allyn Root : Raw & Unfiltered ” on USA Radio yesterday was Dr. Vladimir Zelenko , MD .
This brilliant New York doctor has treated 2,200 Covid-19 patients .
He ’ s had a success rate of 100 % for low-risk patients…and a success rate of 99.3 % for high-risk patients .
By using Hydroxychloroquine , zinc sulfate , plus Z Pak antibiotic .
He has named it “ the Zelenko Protocol.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Without zinc and Z Pak , the drug hydroxychloroquine doesn ’ t work effectively .
The other key to success is to use this 3-part protocol within five days of symptoms appearing .
It has to be used early , before the patient winds up in the ICU .
That ’ s why several studies of Hydroxychloroquine have failed .
They never used zinc sulfate and they started the protocol too late .
Only two out of 2200 of Dr Zelenko ’ s patients died .
Of those two , one already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old and already very ill with Covid-19 before using the protocol .
By that time , it ’ s almost always too late .
The President of Hondoras uses this “ Zelenko Protocol ” to prevent Covid-19 .
Dr. Zelenko advises him .
The President of Brazil used this regimen to beat Covid-19 .
He ’ s a fan of Dr. Zelenko and heard him speak at a conference in Brazil .
He followed Dr. Zelenko ’ s regimen .
He is back to 100 % healthy .
We all need to follow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will save lives .
It opens up the US economy for good .
But we can ’ t .
Doctors won ’ t prescribe the so-called “ Trump drug.
” Liberals , the media , the FDA , government bureaucrats- none of them want to give Trump the credit if it works .
Politics is killing thousands of Americans .
Mr. President , we need an Executive Order .
Immediately.Put the federal government ’ s money and resources behind a fair and honest study of “ the Zelenko Protocol.
” In the meantime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ freedom to choose this “ Zelenko Protocol.
” We have a right to choose .
We have a right to live .
But Mr. President , we need you to make it happen .
Today .

Mr. President, this is the most important column I’ve ever written. We have a successful treatment for Covid-19. Now we need an Executive Order from you to put it into play.
More on that in a minute.
Let me first mention a few reasons we don’t need to panic. Covid-19 is not the end of the world, or America.
First, why was the liberal media playing up “deaths” for months…putting daily “death counts” on the front page of newspapers…yet now that the death count has dropped dramatically, they’re using “cases” as the new metric. Are they trying to create hysteria? Do they want the economy shut down?
Second, why isn’t anyone comparing Sweden with Michigan? Sweden is a country of 10 million that never closed their economy. Not for one day, not for one minute. Everyone went about their business and lived their lives. They have 5,545 dead.
Michigan is a state of about 9.9 million. The same size as Sweden. They locked down their citizens and closed all their businesses, tighter than any state in America. They have 6,075 dead. More than Sweden.
This proves there is no need to ever shut down our economy, or lockdown the people. It doesn’t work. Period. End of story. It’s the perfect apples to apples comparison. Sweden is the winner. Michigan is the loser.
People will get sick with Covid-19 no matter what we do. But when you close the economy, the cure is worse than the disease. Not just for the people who are broke, with their businesses closed, jobs gone, lives in shambles. Government has it even worse. Every state and city government in America is now hopelessly broke and desperate.
That’s the result of just one closure that lasted only two months. If we close again, we will destroy the US economy forever. Third, and here’s the big one. I keep asking this question, and I’m still waiting for answer. What is the difference between Covid-19 and the Hong Kong Flu of 1968-69? By every measure it appears to be a carbon copy. It’s the same flu pandemic, from the same place, with the same results- over 100,000 dead at a time when America was dramatically smaller.
Nevertheless, we never closed the economy, or sports events, or concerts, or Vegas casinos, or schools, or anything. We let Woodstock go on in the summer of 1969, with over 400,000 young people having sex with strangers, playing on top of one another in the rain and mud. It didn’t ruin America. The media said nothing about it. There was no panic or hysteria. There were no lockdowns, or shutdown. It was the flu. Life went on. So, what’s the big difference today?

One signal you don ’ t want to see in times of economic uncertainty is an increase in mortgage delinquencies .

Even more startling is the fact that mortgages more than 30 days past due increased by a substantial amount for all ten of the largest metropolitan areas , with New York and Miami each logging more than a 10 percent increase : But the problem is not confined to these ten metro areas alone .
According to the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recorded an increase in the overall delinquency rate , with tourist destinations such as Kahului , Hawaii , Atlantic City , New Jersey and Las Vegas , Nevada all showing gains of over 5 percentage points in the overall delinquency rate.

One signal you don’t want to see in times of economic uncertainty is an increase in mortgage delinquencies.
If people aren’t paying the bill that puts a roof over their head, that doesn’t paint a pretty picture for the state of the U.S. economy.
Sadly, it looks like that picture could be taking shape right now. Wolf Richter recently highlighted the beginning of a potentially disastrous trend:
In April, the share of all mortgages that were past due, but less than 30 days, soared to 3.4% of all mortgages, the highest in the data going back to 1999. This was up from 0.7% in April last year. During the Housing Bust, this rate peaked in November 2008 at 2%.
The incredible jump in newly delinquent mortgages can be seen clearly in the chart below, by the owner of the famous Case Shiller Index, CoreLogic:
“The nation’s overall delinquency rate was 6.1% in April,” according to the CoreLogic site, which is the highest overall mortgage delinquency rate in over four years.
Even more startling is the fact that mortgages more than 30 days past due increased by a substantial amount for all ten of the largest metropolitan areas, with New York and Miami each logging more than a 10 percent increase:
But the problem is not confined to these ten metro areas alone. According to the same CoreLogic report, “Nearly every metro recorded an increase in the overall delinquency rate, with tourist destinations such as Kahului, Hawaii, Atlantic City, New Jersey and Las Vegas, Nevada all showing gains of over 5 percentage points in the overall delinquency rate.”
While the danger posed by the current mortgage delinquencies is fairly obvious, keep in mind the pandemic also spurred the passage of the CARES Act. Part of that legislation provides forbearance protections.
We are primarily funded by readers. Please subscribe and donate to support us!
Writing for Yale’s School of Management, Vaasavi Unnava explained what this means:
Individuals with single-family mortgages may write to their mortgage servicer requesting forbearance for 180 days due to COVID-19-related difficulties. In such a case, no additional fees, penalties, or interest outside of normally scheduled terms may be levied on the borrower.
But eventually, even the protections offered under the CARES Act will end. And keep in mind this information is only reported through April.
When May, June, and July’s data is reported and the CARES Act is no longer helping, it will beg the question…
What Are Future Potential Ripple Effects for the Housing Market?
According to the Department of Labor, for the week ending July 11, total unemployment claims continuing to receive unemployment settled at 32 million. Once the CARES Act protections end, if those people are still unemployed or the situation gets worse, it would seem like delinquencies could rise even further.
Wolf Richter reported, “CoreLogic expects to see ‘a rise in delinquencies in the next 12-18 months – especially as forbearance periods under the CARES Act come to a close.’”
This could happen especially if the jobs some people left aren’t there once they can go back to work.
A rise in delinquencies has the potential to restart a crisis similar to 2008, but even if it doesn’t, the “confused” Fed’s recent troubles and other economic factors could combine for something much worse.
Let’s hope this bubbling cauldron of economic insanity doesn’t explode. But for now, it’s a good idea to prepare in case it does.
Make Sure Your Portfolio Has More “Order” and Less “Chaos”
With all of the chaos “swirling” around the economy at the moment, it can seem like things are out of control.
But you don’t have to lose control of your own savings. Examine the risk exposure, asset types, and performance of your retirement plan – while there is still time.

UPDATE,3:31 PM: The Internet is actually not under siege and you can still watch Netflix over the weekend, it turns out – though it certainly felt like the digital world had collapsed to PONG levels for a while today.
There are still some dark spots out there, and some sites proving a little rickety, but one of the main providers of the routes that connects domains to their actual IP addresses says they have identified the problem and are watching out for more problems.
“This afternoon we saw an outage across some parts of our network.

Many major websites and services were unreachable for a period Friday afternoon due to issues at Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS service. The outage seems to have started at about 2:15 Pacific time and lasted for about 25 minutes before connections began to be restored. Google DNS may also have been affected.
Update: Cloudflare at 2:46 says “the issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.” CEO Matthew Prince explains that it all came down to a bad router in Atlanta:
We had an issue that impacted some portions of the @Cloudflare network. It appears that a router in Atlanta had an error that caused bad routes across our backbone. That resulted in misrouted traffic to PoPs that connect to our backbone. 1/2 — Matthew Prince 🌥 (@eastdakota) July 17, 2020

A Silent Majority Isn’t Good Enough In The Culture War
The “Silent Majority” comes up a lot these days, often in the context of a warning to Democrats about an electrified coalition of under-the-radar voters motivated to support President Trump by the left’s culture war. It’s true Democrats aren’t helped politically by their proximity to radical leftism, although I’m not sure I buy the argument it’ll cost them the Oval Office in 2020.
Whether the Silent Majority is enough to swing an election, it’s certainly no longer enough to swing the culture. If such a group exists, it needs to speak up.
I say that with deep empathy for everyone fearful of losing a job, friend, or relative if they push back, and for everyone with little interest in getting involved at all. That, of course, is the biggest challenge. There is a reason people are silent, and it’s a good one.
If, however, you happen to work at Boeing and a former Navy pilot is being forced to resign for a 1987 op-ed against women fighting in combat, consider that pushing back might not be as risky as you think. If you work in the public relations department, consider that weathering the social media storm might not be as costly as you think.
If you work at the Smithsonian—or any other organization—and a deeply racist guide to whiteness is being circulated, consider that it might be worth voicing your discomfort with a document that ascribes concepts like “self-reliance” to one racial group. Consider that a smart and well-intentioned rebuttal might find more support than you realize. Consider that it might be galvanizing.

Ever since the outbreak of covid-19, we’ve wondered why the virus hits some people like a ton of bricks while barely inconveniencing others.
Now we think we have a clue.

New data suggests that the specific types of T-cells you have in your immune system determine how severely your body will react to the coronavirus upon infection.
As this dynamic becomes better understood (lots more research needed!), we’ll hopefully start to be able to better identify the folks truly at higher risk and prioritize their protection. And hopefully everyone else can worry a little bit less:

Yesterday, NPR ran a segment about the scandalous decision of the Trump administration to change the Covid-related reporting that hospitals are now doing.
What NPR reported:
(1) Hospitals will now have to send data to the Trump administration, bypassing the CDC.
(2) Interviewed a doctor who said that this is horrible! They are already stressed out and overwhelmed! Bad Trump!
(3) Repeatedly said that the data collection will by done by a private company. Many times, in case you didn’t catch it.
(3) Brief in passing mentioned that the head of the CDC said that this was a good move, increased efficiency and accuracy, and also that the CDC will have full access to all information. And also, data will not go to Trump, but to the Medicare division of the DHHS. No interview, no details, all very brief.
(4) Interview with a midlevel manager from the CDC who used to run data collection and is now stripped of juicy bureaucratic office, so he goes on and on to complain how this is terrible. But never once, not once says why it is terrible. Just terrible, and all.
What NPR did not report:
(1) That hospitals already send their data to the DHHS, and also send it to the CDC, and the current reporting is a bureaucratic nightmare, which they hate.
(2) Hospitals are happy to report to a single institution, with one streamlined procedure, so most are very happy about the new system.
(3) There is no evidence that the “private subcontractor” in charge of data collection was not selected properly, or is not expected to do a good job, or that the government employees would have done a better job. News flash: government computers are also made by private companies, as is almost all software they use.
Zero discussions of expected changes in the quality of reported data. (Can argue either way, but need someone who actually knows!).
Zero discussions of cost savings for everyone involved, including hospitals.
Zero discussions for whether this will cause any damage whatsoever to the CDC’s (or anyone’s) ability to use newly collected data.
No expert on data collection or analysis interviewed or mentioned.
Repeatedly: data will go “to Trump”, “bypassing the CDC”, and “private subcontractor”.
And this concludes the reporting segment.

#JOURNALISM: ‘I’m… At A Loss For Words’: The Unraveling Narrative Behind The Atlantic’s Defund-The-Police ‘Shooting’ Tale.

When social justice activist and lawyer Derecka Purnell was just 12 years old , she and her sister watched a police officer shoot a young boy in a city recreation center because he had ignored the basketball sign-in sheet .
This jarring , emotional , and deeply unsettling story was published July 6 at The Atlantic , in the section reserved for ideas , under the bold , attention-grabbing headline , “ How I Became a Police Abolitionist.

“ This is a beautifully written piece , ” the Atlantic ’ s constitutional law editor agreed .

This jarring, emotional, and deeply unsettling story was published July 6 at The Atlantic, in the section reserved for ideas, under the bold, attention-grabbing headline, “How I Became a Police Abolitionist.”
Purnell’s deeply personal story of shattered innocence and shattered bones at the end of a policeman’s gun was shared widely among top journalists and activists. “I started her article thinking abolition was impossible and ending thinking it must happen,” the president of a social justice think tank at Harvard wrote on Twitter, quoting his mother. “This is a beautifully written piece,” the Atlantic’s constitutional law editor agreed. “Derecka is the future,” an activist journalism executive declared.
There’s a major problem with Purnell’s story, however. Based on a Federalist investigation of newspaper archives and the police department records, and questions to The Atlantic, the police union, and the office of the mayor, it does not appear to have ever happened.

Clearly, these governments are not stupid. They have to realize how much revenue has collapsed and how much damage they have caused to the people and the economy. Our models are projecting HIGHER interest rates ahead and this reflects their high-risk gamble on trying to overthrow Trump. What they fail to grasp is that the private sector has lost all confidence in governments and as such, they have destroyed the old financial system of perpetual borrowing.
As fiscal mismanagement abounds, interest rates will rise to reflect credit risk. The central banks are powerless to prevent this rise. The Fed cannot buy all state debt any more than the ECB will be authorized to buy all sovereign debt in the Eurozone. We have reached the point of no return.

Newly Released FAA Documents Give Unprecedented Look Into Colorado Drone Swarm Mystery
As covered in previous reports by The War Zone, law enforcement agencies in numerous rural counties in eastern Colorado and adjacent areas of Nebraska and Kansas received an influx of reports of large drones flying in formations at night for a period of several weeks during December 2019 and early January 2020. Many law enforcement personnel were among the reporting witnesses. In short order, the “mystery drone” wave also elicited serious expressions of concern from at least two U.S. senators and attention from Colorado’s governor and state public safety agency. The activity soon drew the attention of regional and later national news media, as well.
Now, The War Zone can offer an unprecedented inside look at what was going on behind the scenes within the FAA, which was leading a task force to solve the drone mystery. Not only is the confusion within the agency made clear, but we now have multiple highly credible official reports from trained observers from the timeframe when the objects were present in the region. Many of them match to a remarkable degree and they allude to a unique arrangement in which a large drone seems to have been accompanied by a fleet of smaller ones.

Equipping personnel with wearable devices that track their movements and proximity to others is among near-future actions the Navy is considering to ensure employees keep appropriate space amid the pandemic—and to determine the efficacy of the government’s social distancing policies.
The Naval COVID Rapid Response Team is exploring the potential of existing commercial or advanced prototype technologies that can be used to underpin a “proximity tracking program” as the pandemic presses on, according to a recently released request for information. Records produced by wearables through the effort would track any time those wearing them interacted within 10 feet of one another.

Hong Kong Outbreak Set to Top Earlier Waves in Cautionary Tale…
(Bloomberg) — Hong Kong’s new coronavirus outbreak has surpassed the magnitude of its previous waves of infection, in a cautionary tale that the worst may be yet to come in the global pandemic. Authorities reported 50 local virus cases on Friday, bringing total infections to over 350. The former British colony is now one of the first places in the region to see a new wave dwarf previous outbreaks. The resurgence in the Asian financial hub has moved at an aggressive pace and erupted less than two weeks ago, after a long stretch during which residents returned to work and normal life. About a third of infections in the new outbreak are of unknown origins, signaling that hidden chains of transmission are widespread.
