I don't know why... but I'm really not worried about this 'virus'. I mean the flu can be devastating and the Spanish flu killed millions a century ago... I guess I'm just not scared. As a prepper I have everything I already need so no panic buying here. I have N35 masks but I also have top of the line NBC (nuclear/biological/chemical) gas masks, Tyvek suits and plenty of Nitrile gloves, rolls of plastic sheeting, and disinfectants.
"If ye are prepared... Ye need not fear"
However, if this turns out to be some sort of apocalyptic event (which I doubt as it's waaaay too early) and the Angel of Death (as in Biblical times) is afoot... I have already done that which the Lord has asked of us in these 'latter days' and my house will be spared like the Hebrews of old. (And no I didn't have to smear lambs blood on my door)
Once again, the NYT Opinion Page has produced an editorial so obviously at odds with reality, that we couldn't help but comment. Longtime columnist Gail Collins, a Democratic centrist and staunch Hillary Clinton supporter, wrote in a column that the coronavirus outbreak is President Trump's fault.
Her latest column, entitled "Let's Call It Trumpvirus" completely ignores the fact that the virus emerged in China, before spreading around the world as Communist Party officials hesitated to try and contain it for fear of sparking a holiday 'panic'.
No; instead, Collins rattles off a list of a list of loosely linked complaints about the Trump Administration: From Azar's seeming inexperience, to obscure personnel choices made by John Bolton, to picking Pence to run the virus task force, to Trump's offhand comment about the flu.
Oddly enough, even Trump's penchant for hand sanitizer (given Trump's reputation for being a "germaphobe") seems to offend Collins. Our president had to be going crazy over a problem that involves both declining stock prices and germs. This is the guy, after all, who thinks shaking hands is “barbaric,” who is followed around by aides bearing sanitizer. And let's not forget Trump's atrocious spelling, one of his greatest political sins, according to the New York Times newsroom. Earlier in the day Trump argued, via tweet, that despite the expressions of concern by the evil media and “incompetent Do Nothing Democrat comrades,” the government is perfectly prepared to handle the coronavirus. Which he misspelled “caronavirus.”
At least when it comes to making hard decisions about quarantining large numbers of people, Trump likely won't hesitate like his Democratic colleagues probably would.
Ben Shapiro put it best: So China unleashes a highly viral and significantly deadly virus and actively shuts down information about it, the virus hits every populated continent...and you're calling it Trumpvirus?
I thought liberals already had Trumpvirus - we just used to call it TDS - Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Bloomberg doesn't want to be POTUS. Soon after he signed up Kamala and Booker fell out of the race. Bloomberg is there to take eyes off of Buttigig (whatever) and Warren and 'hopefully' Sanders. (With the first two it worked; both are down in the polls) In a recent interview when asked why is he running in an already crowded field, Bloomberg said "I just want Trump out", not that he could do better as POTUS or his ideas are better etc., it's just he wants Trump out.
Soooooo if that's all he wants why not just contribute to a campaign. Because as a contributor he would be subject to scrutiny, but as a 'candidate' he can spend his own money and say pretty much whatever he wants. This is why he could've cared less about his answers and was totally unprepared at the first debate; he really doesn't want to be POTUS. He's a former RINO and a GLOBALIST. So far Bloomberg has spent 100 million dollars in ads bashing Trump. It's not for him... but for who he is propping up and that is..... Joe Biden (his friend).
My sources told me Hillary will come in at the last moment to save the party. Perhaps as Bloomberg's VP. Which would scare the crap outta me if I were Bloomberg …. you know... "ARKANCIDE"
The computers that run disease models grind through calculations that reflect researchers’ best estimates of factors that two Scottish researchers identified a century ago as shaping the course of an outbreak: how many people are susceptible, how many are infectious, and how many are recovered (or dead) and presumably immune.
To calculate how people move from “susceptible” to “infectious” to “recovered,” modelers write equations that include such factors as the number of secondary infections each infected person typically causes and how long it takes from when one person gets sick to when the people she infects does. These two numbers define the growth rate of an epidemic. The first number is called the basic reproduction number. Written R0 (“R naught”), it varies by virus; a strain that spreads more easily through the air, as by aerosols rather than heavier droplets released when an infected person sneezes or coughs, has a higher R0. It has been a central focus of infectious disease experts in the current outbreak because a value above 1 portends sustained transmission. When the R0 of Covid-19 was estimated several weeks ago to be above 2, social media exploded with “pandemic is coming!” hysteria. But while important, worshipping at the shrine of R0 “belies the complexity that two different pathogens can exhibit, even when they have the same R0,” the Canadian-U.S. team argues in a paper posted to the preprint site medRxiv. Said senior author Antoine Allard of Laval University in Quebec, “the relation between R0, the risk of an epidemic, and its potential size becomes less straightforward, and sometimes counterintuitive in more realistic models.” To make models more realistic, he and his colleagues argue, they should abandon the simplistic assumption that everyone has the same likelihood of getting sick from Covid-19 after coming in contact with someone already infected. For SARS, for instance, that likelihood clearly varied. “Bodies may react differently to an infection, which in turn can facilitate or inhibit the transmission of the pathogen to others,” Allard said. “The behavioral component is also very important. Can you afford to stay at home a few days or do you go to work even if you are sick? How many people do you meet every day? Do you live alone? Do you commute by car or public transportation?” When people’s chances of becoming infected vary, an outbreak is more likely to be eventually contained (by tracing contacts and isolating cases); it might reach a cumulative 550,000 cases in Wuhan, Allard and his colleagues concluded. If everyone has the same chance, as with flu (absent vaccination), the probability of containment is significantly lower and could reach 4.4 million there. Or as the researchers warn, “the outbreak almost certainly cannot be contained and we must prepare for a pandemic ….” If every case infects two people and that takes two days, then the epidemic doubles every two days. If every case infects two people and they get sick four days after the first, then the epidemic doubles every four days. This “serial time” is related to how quickly a virus multiplies, and it can have a big effect. For a study published this month in Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers at the University of Toronto created an interactive tool that instantly updates projections based on different values of R0 and serial interval. Using an R0 of 2.3 and serial interval of seven days, they project 300,000 cases by next week. If the serial interval is even one day less, the number of cases blasts past 1.5 million by then. But if the countermeasures that China introduced in January, including isolating patients, encouraging people to wear face masks, and of course quarantining Wuhan, reduce the effective reproduction number, as has almost certainly happened, those astronomical numbers would plummet: to 100,000 and 350,000 cases, respectively.
On June 27, 2016, Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch held a supposedly impromptu meeting on her plane at Phoenix Airport, where they discussed (according to them) golf and grandchildren. Skeptics have long suspected that Clinton and Lynch were working out a deal in which Lynch agreed to drop the probe into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal in exchange for a payoff.
On January 14, at his Milwaukee rally, President Trump offered some insight into the nature of the payoff, when he suggested that Bill Clinton promised Lynch a Supreme Court appointment, which would be conferred after Hillary’s expected victory.
Q followers were already familiar with this scenario, because on February 6, 2018, Q had posted the following message about the Tarmac meeting: SC/LL deal > AS 187
Here’s how some Q followers interpreted that message: The Supreme Court/Loretta Lynch deal was connected to the purported murder of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. (Note: 187 is police code for murder. Q often uses this term when discussing alleged Deep State murders.) Scalia died suddenly at a Texas ranch on February 13, 2016, and was declared dead of natural causes over the phone. No coroner or medical examiner ever saw him and no autopsy was performed.

We’re living in dramatic times that are difficult to understand. One way to try to interpret them is through the cryptic clues provided by Q, which appear on an anonymous online forum and imply top-secret knowledge of upcoming events.
As I wrote in my article “An Introduction to Q,”
“Q’s followers believe that Q is a military intelligence operation, the first of its kind, whose goal is to provide the public with secret information… Q is a new weapon in the game of information warfare, bypassing a hostile media and corrupt government to communicate directly with the public.” It’s interesting to note that shortly after my article was published here (on Zero Hedge), American Thinker suffered a series of unprecedented hacking attempts. Also noteworthy is that Twitter permanently shut down the account of Zero Hedge, a popular finance blog, two weeks after it posted my article. President Trump continues to bring attention to Q, repeatedly retweeting Q followers, featuring Q fans in his ad campaign, and making a public display of a “Q baby” at a rally. Yet the media never asks Trump the obvious question: What do you think about Q? Instead, the media keeps ratcheting up its attacks on Q and the ever-growing worldwide movement that Q inspires. On February 9, both the AP and New York Times published blistering anti-Q articles, claiming that Q promotes baseless, debunked far right conspiracies and accusing Q of inciting violence in deranged followers. The day before this latest media ambush, a massive cyber assault temporarily brought down 8kun, the message board on which Q posts. Ron Watkins, 8kun’s administrator, tweeted, “Attacks have been coming in all day. Very sophisticated and expensive attacks; the person paying for this likely has deep pockets.”
At the same time that 8kun was attacked, X22 Report, which covers Q postings, also was bombarded. On its Twitter feed, the site wrote it was “being attacked from 54 different countries using hundreds of different IP addresses, I have never seen anything like it.” On February 12, in response to these events, Q posted, “Highly sophisticated ‘State-level’ attacks [v 8kun] followed by FAKE NEWS attacks [v Q] the next day? Coordinated? Ask yourself a simple question... why? It’s time to wake up.”
In almost 4,000 posts, Q has painted a disturbing, multi-faceted portrait of a global crime syndicate that operates with impunity. In recent weeks, President Trump has grown more explicit about some of the syndicate’s crimes. Speaking to the National Governors Association, President Trump stated, in an almost casual, offhand manner, why the United States had recently upgraded its nuclear missile technology at great expense. “…we’re buying new, we have the super-fast missiles, tremendous number of the super-fast. We call them super-fast where they’re four, five, six, or even seven times faster than ordinary missiles. We need that because again, Russia has some. I won’t tell you how they got it. They got it supposedly from the Obama Administration when we weren’t doing it. And that’s too bad. It’s not good. But that’s how it happened.”
He asked her NOT to recline her seat while he was eating... Doing so caused his drink to spill. She raised it, but as soon as she saw he was finished she lowered it again. Then he started to play drums on her head rest. I had the same situation sort of. I had forgotten it as it didn't affect me but it did my wife. A big ...ok...a fat guy sat in front of her once and reclined his seat not giving her much room at all and she just looked at me like 'check this guy out'. So I immediately went into husband protective mode and I acted as if I had the flu. Coughing, fake blowing my nose, verbally complaining how awful I felt... the last thing the guy wanted was where he could feel my coughing on his face (between the seats) and he raised his seat and I'm sure cursed his luck sitting in front of the guy who was sick with flu.
I'm with the lawyer on this one. Yes the man acted like a petulant child... Just because you LEGALLY can recline your seat, doesn't mean you should. While they are both being inconsiderate... the woman is in the wrong as she started it.
I once put my carry on under a lady's seat. At touch down on the tarmac I slyly said "Excuse me, but I really must get between your legs." She smiled and spread 'em.
NSA whistleblower Bill Binney told then-C.I.A. chief Mike Pompeo there was no Russia Hack at the DNC. Three years later, Mike Pompeo is still sitting on that crucial piece of information. William Binney, a 30-year former intelligence official with the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and high profile whistleblower, spoke with National File recently about his October 2017 meeting with then-CIA director, Mike Pompeo, which was called between the two at the direction of President Donald J. Trump. Even though Binney boldly informed then-CIA director and now Secretary of State, Pompeo that he had proof and his own investigations that Intelligence agencies were lying to Trump about the Russians, Pompeo has not introduced Binney’s expert claims to anyone at Capitol Hill three years later. As a result, the actors pursuing President Trump have been able to continue in their persistence that there was a Russian hack, a rhetorical feature which allowed the Russia Hoax to drag on for as long as it did. At the end of that October 2017 meeting, Pompeo asked Binney if he would report his expert forensic evidence, which included hard data disproving Guccifer2 was Russian, and the claims that Russia hacked the DNC, which are the foundations of the numerous Democrat investigations by Trump and his administration related to Russian tampering. “The President had suggested that he talk to me and that was opening statement to me. That the President wanted him to talk to me,” Binney told National File. “The meeting was for Pompeo to learn the facts about Russiagate. So I said that I would tell him exactly what I know. I had been able to find out from open-source information that was posted by the Guccifer 2 alleged persona. I told him all of that. I told him that the agencies were lying to him. That it took me a few hours time to determine download speeds from open source material after they have sent billions of dollars, and they can’t find the same? Something is very wrong there is what I told him,” Binney told National File. Binney has spoken frequently about the evidence he found from his own investigations, and about his expert findings at the NSA, developing intelligence about Russia and cybersecurity. He has written up expert testimony in a sworn statement that is in the hands of the lawyers for Roger Stone and General Mike Flynn, both of whom face prison time for process crimes associated with Russiagate. Despite many naysayers in the establishment press and even in Congress, Binney’s position remains that the Russians could not have possibly hacked the DNC. “Guccifer 2 had been tracked back to the CIA. It was a fabrication and I have been pointing it back to the C.I.A., which is a separate set of data the the DNC hack. Look at the download speeds, they could not have been transcribed across the net. It looked to me that two files were made by one file and split in two, that Guccifer was faking a hack,” Binney explained. “Recently an associate investigator in London was looking at fingerprints of Russian signatures, which implied that Guccifer was inserting signatures. The C.I.A. has the technology to do that. All of that has been put in affidavits for the Roger Stone and Mike Flynn cases, but the judge would not accept it in the Stone case. They are trying to block the truth,” he leveled. National File covered the Binney affidavit here, Whistleblower, Binney, Says There Was No Russian Hack. From the article:“Bill Binney, a 32 year National Security Agency expert, has made a sworn declaration that Wiki-leaks did not receive stolen data from the Russian government, intrinsic metadata shows that the data in question was put on a thumb drive and physically taken from the DNC.” Binney has been open about his expertise and his point of view on the reason for the Deep State Spying. He said it was to give Clapper and Brennan “power and influence”.
