I always see lots of r/K related stories I think might interest the readers here, but I only have time to blog about a few, so here are some additional news stories that might be of interest. Most articles will be more or less summarized in the headline. For unknown reasons, in some browsers the tweets in these posts display best if you click on the post instead of viewing it on the main page. You can skim the headlines and summaries, and click the links if they are of interest. Keep in mind, many of these reports are products of the Fake News, so although they will be what people are hearing and talking about, there is no guarantee any one of them is necessarily correct, and we have had cases of outright lies make it onto these pages, especially about President Trump.

If you missed it, there was an interesting comment in the comments section. Here it is:
My rough reply was as follows:
Most fascinating comment I have seen of late. I was thinking the “Just the flu, bro” meme was liberals trying to get conservatives killed, but now I see, it is the Chinese Communists trying to minimize the extent of their fuckup. Basically they have just unleashed a global pandemic which may kill 20-30% of the world’s population if it mutates in Brazil, and now they have unleashed an army of bots, trolls, and shit-posters to try and argue it is really no big deal. I would now wonder about anyone with a public personae still floating that meme, and whether Chicom money might be floating into their coffers. We should change it to ” It’s just the Fru Blo!” whenever we see it to remind people this virus came from China, and they are trying to cover it up.
First, we are not that big a site, so either he has no idea about the readership of this site, or this is a bot, programmed to post this comment on any site which talks too much about the Coronavirus. The opening statement that, “This website was key in promoting the public panic which crashed the US economy,” is the type of statement which I would expect a Chinese government official to wield as a way of shaming a citizen who did something which embarrassed the Chinese government. It implies to me somebody who is accustomed to using patriotism to hide behind, and as a way of shaming citizens to follow his leadership’s dictates.
Notice the diction is just a little off too. Would you write, “Shame on you!” We don’t use that in America, because our celebrities have done so much that is so shameful, that you can’t shame anyone anymore. You see people shitting in the flowerpots openly on the way to work. We know Bill Clinton’s penis has a bend in it and Harvey Weinstein has a vagina. On 4Chan they rate the assholes of young actresses based on the nudes of them which have leaked. By comparison I’m supposed to be ashamed over this? But in China, that is a big deal.
Likewise, the phrase, “What is your real name?” is something I would think would provoke real panic in a Police state like China, where authorities would wield that phrase like a weapon to terrify the citizenry of having the all powerful state machinery suddenly focus on them. Imagine being on the street and suddenly a government official is angrily demanding your full name.
I think the chances are this is a Chinese communist Wu-Fru shill, trying to minimize the severity of this outbreak. “Its OK, lound-eye, you onry need one rung anyway! Why you make such big deal? Its just a little case of Fru. You don’t even leally know if it came flom China!”
Reread the comment now, and see if that is your take on it.
And if their minimization of it worsens our pandemic, kills a few million Americans, cripples our economy, and results in a President Biden, all the better.
I used to think American State Security was a bit of a joke, but wow! Chicoms are absolutely radioactive-tier glowing. It is like I am looking directly into the fucking sun. They must have no idea how much hostile state security we deal with on a daily basis.
Really pisses me off they would kill so many Americans and fuck over our country so badly for their stupid PR program to cover up their fuckup.
The IP was a US satellite ISP, which I assume is because they pick up the account in the US, and then hit up the satellite during the free hours as it passes over China. If US intel isn’t watching US satellite internet activity traveling over the satellites that are over the far side of the globe, they should be.
I would like to thank my bright yellow little friend for posting here, for compromising Chinese shill tradecraft and opening my eyes to the internet campaign being waged by the one true source of the virus – China, as well as the great shame China must feel now that China’s carelessness is poised to kill one quarter of the world’s population with this dirty disease that could only come from that country. We should sue in a court of law, and make it all fully official. Oh wait, we are!
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide has surpassed 220,000. Of those, 8,953 have died, 84,912 have recovered, and 126,187 are still unresolved. 4% mortality before we work out what will happen to that other 126,000.
529 case reports in Brazil and 4 deaths. They are reporting over a hundred new cases per day, and believe they have community spread, as they are about to begin their winter.
France death toll rising by about 30%.
There is a huge resource here that could take hours to process, with lots of info on the paper N95 and surgical masks and virus protection in general, but a Freeper took the time to summarize a lot of the data here, which shows most masks, even surgical masks, offer protection from viral spread. Good charts, and tests of specific N95 mask models. A full face respirator is probably still superior, but if you are shy, these are better than nothing, and some of those small face masks gave almost P100 level protection. If you wore sealed goggles that is practically as good as a full face respirator, though if you touch your face while taking off the glasses and mask, or if you inhale while dislodging the mask, then something caught against the skin could be inhaled or get to your mouth.
US researchers confirm Hydroxychloroquine impedes the Coronavirus. Another study mixed it with Azithromycin, though I do not know if that was to target opportunistic bacteria or if it might impede cell excretion somehow by occupying some membrane pump. So there is hope here to reduce mortality.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro says second COVID-19 test was negative.
Italy has had its highest number of deaths from coronavirus in a day with 475 more fatalities, bringing the total to 2978. Italy also had a large rise in coronavirus cases, with 4,207 confirmed on Wednesday, bringing the total to 35,713. That is actually only a 13% rise though, which is what China looked like about two weeks or so before it dropped to 2% and then crept down to 0. And it was an 18% rise in deaths, which is a lagging indicator of how it was spreading two weeks ago. Italy has another couple of weeks before the pressure dies down. We are probably two weeks behind Italy, with the caveat we saw Italy, and knew to take it serious before our hospitals were full, so we will not go as far down that road. Trump’s China travel ban may prove to be the key factor in saving a couple of million American lives, as it gave us the ability to see our future in Italy, and get shocked.

Beijing fears COVID-19 is a turning point for China and globalization. They are panicking, which is why even this site has a CCP commenter assigned. This will overnight bring US manufacturing home, reduce travel, reduce trade reliance, strengthen nationalism and border security in Europe and America, and leave a blot on the reputation of China for decades to come. And China was already overleveraged betting on future growth. They could have a real collapse and civil war in the not to distant future if all the young men have no food, no Waifu, and two old people for each young person to support in their old age because of the one child policy.

And it is being done in Baltimore too. This may very well be so if the Storm kicks off, they can either get the Antifa/#BlackLivesMatters rioters back out on the street as quickly as possible after arrest, or so any Cabal elites arrested can bail out fast, and go on the run. Notice they were doing this long before the COVID-19 scare under the guise of bail-reform.
Schumer only wants to offer small business owners low-interest loans.

The left is terrified lower income people will begin to love Trump for this. And then there are the Bernie Bros.
China claims it hits a Coronavirus milestone, with no new local infections.
Three mainland Chinese carriers plan to resume non-stop flights to San Francisco International Airport this month. If this thing has died out in China, then it very specifically targeted a small subset of people based on some specific vulnerability only a few people have, which might mean what Trump said about it dying out suddenly here will prove true. I am still skeptical China beat this back. I suspect they are covering it up just to be able to argue to the rest of the world that what they exported wasn’t that bad. But it will be nice if this is right, it is burning out the susceptible populations, and it dies out all on its own all of a sudden.
Possibly supporting the “more virulent due to some unknown biological factor” might be how it congregates in specific families. I remember the Chinese family with six members, all infected with five different genetic variants due to mutation as it jumped between them. Now an Italian family with seven ravaged and three killed. I remember reading the 1918 flu wiped out people with some genetic immune aspect too, and some thought it never came back because there was nobody left to infect with that factor.
New study shows that 86% of COVID19 cases are asymptomatic – this brings the mortality rate from 0.2% to 0.8% and not 3.4% as reported by WHO. I am not sure a snapshot works, as there is no telling how many of the 86% are simply incubating and will present later. But it is possible this thing is only tailored to hit a small cohort very hard. That would be a huge savior. Still, Italy was reporting as high as a 15% CFR in Lombardy which would work out to a 2% CFR if you assume the only cases Italy counted to calculate that were symptomatic, so it may all depend on how overwhelmed the hospital system is. Hopefully we won’t see any mutations. And there is this next one:
Uncounted among coronavirus victims, deaths sweep through Italy’s nursing homes.
Italian doctors hope for a sign the coronavirus lockdown is working. It has to work. The only question is how long the incubation period is, and how many were already exposed.
Lots of celebrities say they have Coronavirus. And yet nobody can get tested now, so how are they getting tested. Alternative hypothesis – they were never tested and are just claiming that to have an excuse to skip business engagements and movie shoots, so they can self-isolate and avoid getting infected.

If you picked up and liquidated your life, got $20,000 in cash, and moved to the third world, you could live like a millionaire, because your money was worth so much more in that little third world shithole. But as he looked around, he saw people who were in those little third world shitholes, liquidated their goat, their pebble collection, and their sheet-metal/tarp shack, amassed $5.07 in our cash, came to Britain, and opened up a convenience store – something the anon did not have the financial ability to do, despite being born in the country. Think about that. I think there are good indicators that many of the migrants are brought over because they are in the Secret Club, and know to follow orders.

I note that the Storm started on the Ides of March, which was just one week after Purim this year. Coincidence? Purim is a celebration of defending yourself against those who try to kill you and take your inheritance.

In case this is missed:
https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/03/18/america-united-states-lockdown-coming/
FP is the B-listers ‘Foreign Affairs,’ usually a good establishment source of what’s coming.
Key grafs:
“Whether you are reading this in your living room in Vancouver, office in London, or on a subway in New York City, you need to think hard, and fast, about two crucial questions: Where, and with whom, do you want to spend the next six to 12 weeks of your life, hunkered down for the epidemic duration? And what can you do to make that place as safe as possible for yourself and those around you?
Your time to answer those questions is very short—a few days, at most. Airports will close, trains will shut down, gasoline supplies may dwindle, and roadblocks may be set up. Nations are closing their borders, and as the numbers of sick rise, towns, suburbs, even entire counties will try to shut the virus out by blocking travel. Wherever you decide to settle down this week is likely to be the place in which you will be stuck for the duration of your epidemic.”
Unrelated, the high number of “name” politicos and celebs getting the disease has seemed off. Most disturbing was the news about the 20-something Austrian who threw the pachamama idols into the Tiber having a severe case. Is this being used as a targeted bioweapon? If so, targeting the Austrian, who embarrassed Bertoglio, would obviously be cabal.
As to whether Cov19 is human engineered, several things make me believe this to be the case. The instant shutdown of any such discussion on the “controlled” non-MSM sites such as Breitbart and Reddit; the immediate take-down of early papers from India and Japan showing clear signs of human tampering of the RNA genome; the arrest of Harvard Chair Charles Lieber and 2 of his grad students, one of whom was caught with samples hidden in a sock at Logan, and the complete lack of discussion of same; and the articles that Ron Unz has bravely published, including Phil Giraldi’s.
The fact that Lieber was being paid by the Chinese government, had helped set up the Wuhan virology lab, and that all of his grad students were Chinese, is disturbing.

Still, Italy was reporting as high as a 15% CFR in Lombardy which would work out to a 2% CFR if you assume the only cases Italy counted to calculate that were symptomatic, so it may all depend on how overwhelmed the hospital system is. Hopefully we won’t see any mutations. And there is this next one:
Every test of this sort has false positives and false negatives. This can be minimized, but they aren’t infallible. Its actually a common debate in medicine in general about when ordering expensive tests is worthwhile or not. For a hypothetical test with a 5% false positive rate, if you test 10,000 people you get 500 false positives.
https://www.livescience.com/32767-what-are-false-positives-and-false-negatives.html
“a study conducted at a Denver emergency department and published in the July 21 2010 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that 41.7 percent of HIV-negative people who participated in clinical trials for HIV vaccines tested positive on routine HIV tests – even though they were not actually infected. Those rates differed depending on the type of vaccine administered, ranging from 6.3 percent to 86.7 percent.”
These tests they are using for corona are brand new and really haven’t been evaluated for how good they are. And even if they are great, there will still be false positives and negatives. That’s why I don’t quite get why everyone is getting worked up on these tests. It is pretty unreasonable to have a good test so quickly. And every other plague in human history didn’t have tests. I am pretty sure you could trust doctors to just eyeball it and know who has it or not, which might be a better indicator in my opinion. If that is combined with an assumption that everyone possibly has it and social distancing etc is implemented.
I think that study on asymptomatic people has to be taken with a big grain of salt.
Bill Gates wants to microchip everyone with an ID chip. And Tattooes to see if we have received Vaccine or not:

“Really pisses me off they would kill so many Americans and fuck over our country so badly for their stupid PR program to cover up their fuckup.”
Two influential Chinese authors explained “face”. Lu Xun referred to the missionary Arthur Henderson Smith’s (1894:16-18) interpretation.
The term “face” keeps cropping up in our conversation, and it seems such a simple expression that I doubt whether many people give it much thought. Recently, however, we have heard this word on the lips of foreigners too, who seem to be studying it. They find it extremely hard to understand, but believe that “face” is the key to the Chinese spirit and that grasping it will be like grabbing a queue twenty-four years ago [when wearing a queue was compulsory] – everything else will follow. (1934, 1959:129)
Lin Yutang considered the psychology of “face”.
Interesting as the Chinese physiological face is, the psychological face makes a still more fascinating study. It is not a face that can be washed or shaved, but a face that can be “granted” and “lost” and “fought for” and “presented as a gift”. Here we arrive at the most curious point of Chinese social psychology. Abstract and intangible, it is yet the most delicate standard by which Chinese social intercourse is regulated.[1]
Lin refers to liu mianzi 留面子 “grant face; give (someone) a chance to regain lost honor”, shī miàn zi 失面子 “lose face”, zheng mianzi 爭面子 “fight for face; keeping up with the Joneses”, and gei mianzi 給面子 “give face; show respect (for someone’s feelings)”.
The Chinese language has three common words meaning “face”:
mian (Chinese: 面; pinyin: miàn; Wade–Giles: mien)
lian (simplified Chinese: 脸; traditional Chinese: 臉; pinyin: liǎn; Wade–Giles: lien)
yan (simplified Chinese: 颜; traditional Chinese: 顏; pinyin: yán; Wade–Giles: yen).
Mian 面 “face; personal esteem; countenance; surface; side” occurs in words like:
mianzi 面子 “face; side; reputation; self-respect; prestige, honor; social standing”
mianmu 面目 (lit. “face and eyes”) “face; appearance; respect; social standing; prestige; honor”
mianpi 面皮 (lit. “face skin”) “facial skin; complexion; feelings; sensitivity; sense of shame”
timian 体面 (lit. “body face”) “face; good looking; honor; dignity; prestige”
qingmian 情面 (lit. “feelings face”) “face; prestige; favor; kindness; partiality”
Mianmu, which occurs in the Shijing, Guanzi, and other Chinese classics, is the oldest Chinese word for figurative “face” (Carr 1992:43). David Yau-fai Ho (1974:241) describes timian as “an expression without an exact equivalent in English”, meaning “the social front, the ostensible display of one’s social standing to the public. It is both a prerogative and an implicit obligation for the socially prominent to be particular about.” Mianzi is a measurable and quantifiable concept of “face”. Hsien-chin Hu says it,
can be borrowed, struggled for, added to, padded, — all terms indicating a gradual increase in volume. It is built up through initial high position, wealth, power, ability, through cleverly establishing social ties to a number of prominent people, as well as through avoidance of acts that would cause unfavorable comment. (1944:61)
Lian 臉 “face; countenance; respect; reputation; prestige” is seen in several “face” words:
lianshang 臉上 (lit. “face on/above”) “one’s face; honor; respect”
lianmian 臉面 (lit. “face face”) “face; self-respect; prestige; influence”
lianpi 臉皮 (lit. “face skin”) “face; sensitivity; compassion”
Hu (1944:51-52) contrasts meiyou lian 沒有臉 (lit. “without face”) “audacious; wanton; shameless” as “the most severe condemnation that can be made of a person” and buyao lian 不要臉 (lit. “don’t want face”) “shameless; selfishly inconsiderate” as “a serious accusation meaning that ego does not care what society thinks of his character, that he is ready to obtain benefits for himself in defiance of moral standards.”
Note that Cantonese uses 面 instead of 臉.
Yan 顏 “face; prestige; reputation; honor” occurs in the common expression diu yan 丟顏 and the words:
yanhou 顏厚 (lit. “face thick”) or houyan 厚顏 “thick-skinned; brazen; shameless; impudent”
yanmian 顏面 (lit. “face face”) “face; honor; prestige”
Chinese uses yan less often in expressing “face; prestige” than either mian or lian.
Lian is the confidence of society in a person’s moral character, while mianzi represents social perceptions of a person’s prestige. For a person to maintain face is important with Chinese social relations because face translates into power and influence and affects goodwill. A loss of lian would result in a loss of trust within a social network, while a loss of mianzi would likely result in a loss of authority.
Two “face”-related concepts in Chinese social relations are guanxi “connections; relationships” and ganqing “feelings”.

“Italy also had a large rise in coronavirus cases, with 4,207 confirmed on Wednesday, bringing the total to 35,713.”
It’s worth noting that a huge part of cabal originates in Italy, notably starting in Venice centuries ago. And it’s worth noting that the majority of deaths have occurred in Italy’s wealthiest region most heavily invested in international financial services and tourism for the mega rich. It’s almost as if whatever has happened there was a decapitation strike on the enemy.

In short, Eric Raymond says the reason “lizard people” conspiracy theories take hold is that the public has noticed the elites are sociopaths, and “lizard alien invasion” is the explanation their brains latch on to. The probability of aliens on Earth is pretty low, but the probability of sociopaths is 100%

The poster in North America could be just a server in a closet somewhere in North America that re-transmits whatever sent to it from anywhere in the world. Hell it could be a raspberry pi running off of solar power in the woods. So there’s really no way to know.
“…Eric Raymond says the reason “lizard people” conspiracy theories take hold is that the public has noticed the elites are sociopaths, and “lizard alien invasion” is the explanation their brains latch on to…”
A very good assessment. I prefer to call them psychopaths. I think the word has much more punch and I’ve never seen anyone coherently explain the difference between psychopath and sociopath. I believe that Sociopath was a wishy washy word invented to soften the diagnoses of psychopath.
I know quite a few people who have moved to the US on H1Bs, and others who have paid a lot of money to go to shitty colleges in aus or germany. I know that a lot of students from premier institutes get free rides to european unis right in their first year of college, with little to no former training, under the guise of “exchange programs”. These institutes are heavily funded by the gov and usually end up sending people who could never integrate. People from second-tier institutes who manage to get into MS programs in the US right after graduation are very seldom people of ability — they are usually people who stuff their resumes and have a lot of money. People who move for a MS after working for a while tend to be even worse. 99% of people who only move for jobs are utterly incompetent. I am not making these numbers up. There is “Brain Drain” here, but there are also very few brains, and too many opportunists, even in the supposedly “fair & legal” programs. Please do not assume that only poor people are dishonest. If anything, only the rich are very dishonest here. The untouchables, the people on the street, the blue-collar folks are often the most honest and most naive, and the most religious. From these people, it is only the bad stock that gets rich — and the bad stock that moves abroad — the bad stock that is *unsatisfied*. There are many rich people who came up from very little, with maybe just one man in the entire family who earns 10-25x the average middle class income, and keeps everyone very, very comfortable. Their class *shows*. They are the ones that move because they know that they and their conniving, shallow ways will never be accepted by the people *truly* above them, biologically and socially. They, then, finance who they can.
Adequate brains and social mobility simply don’t exist here for your scenario to be true for a significant number of cases. The well-integrated seldom leave for good.
Many look at the way they live in the west and want nothing to do with them, even if they are family.
I’d be more cautious of the one who is rich and polite than the double-price hooligans.
with respect to the cruise ship statistics, there is a suggestion or two on the internet saying that the stats were skewed by passengers obtaining and using cholorquine during the voyage. don’t know, but offering the info.

“I wonder if what tipped them off was that all the people on a particular cruise who were jumping-off at a tropical port in Asia were taking this stuff already and weren’t getting sick unlike everyone else on-board”

So many lefty males have that soft, semi androgynous “soy” face. I think we need to use a new letter of the Greek alphabet for them. They’re beyond gammahood into something else. Zeta male?
As a woman, just pictures of them make my skin crawl, and I have to go hug my husband, a confirmed alpha male. 💙
Great analysis as always.

AC, I’m a longtime reader and occasional commenter—i.e. not a Chinese bot. I appreciate your take on lots of things, but I tend to think that you might be going a bit overboard with the Wu Flu. The current situation presents a fair amount of data with lots of variables to take in and compute, and this is but one voice among many, yet I think it is worth considering and weighing in the balance.
https://nonvenipacem.com/2020/03/18/wuhan-we-have-a-problem-this-does-not-compute/
It is tough to know as we are dependent on the analyses of others. But my take is, the virus is incredibly dangerous, highly infectious, lethal often enough, and injurious even when not lethal often enough that you do not want to cross paths with it.
Now, I think the disparity in the numbers that page highlights could be there because the virus has two R0’s. There is the R0 if people do what they normally do. Go the Supermarket, and stand next to an infectee for 15 seconds, like patient 5 did with patient 2 in China, and you have taken a trigger pull in a game of Russian roulette with very bad odds. If things had stayed like that, then you would have seen a lot more infected.
But there may be a second R0, which is what the R0 is if everyone hides in their house and never comes out. That is why so much of Wuhan and got locked down so severely. Once that R0 is in effect, the spread is so attenuated it reverses all the gains of the first. So when he says, “This doesn’t look so infectious,” he is right – if everyone is locked down.
Now there is one big thing which doesn’t make sense in my mind. Why didn’t it re-emerge in China once the lockdown was lifted. I would have assumed it was inside someone, or on some surface, or somebody would come in from overseas and bring it back.
That I do not know. Maybe it lives on surfaces and outside humans for a much shorter time than we are told, everyone who had it beat it or died during the clampdown, and China is watching everyone coming in like a hawk. Or maybe enough people have been infected by the lesser strain that the population, in effect, has herd immunity. Or China has spiked all the food with Chloroquine or Resdemivir, and that is suppressing it.
Of course it is possible that that specific curiosity is an artifact of it being a scam. Maybe China covertly immunized their people to it, faked their outbreak, faked containing it, and then let it loose on the world to crash the economy and take out Trump.
I really don’t know. But the risk of the lungs being fucked up and needing bottled oxygen is severe enough I think there is no harm to people being afraid enough of this thing to take measures to avoid it.
“…And China was already overleveraged betting on future growth. They could have a real collapse and civil war in the not to distant future if all the young men have no food, no Waifu, and two old people for each young person to support in their old age because of the one child policy…”
I don’t really blame the Chinese for their one child policy. I’m not saying it’s virtuous or good but I certainly understand it. They have always run their population right up to the edge of using every last resource for as long as they have been a civilization. They were trying to break this pattern of constantly crashing to the ground. I think corona has dashed this for a long time. They were trying to get rich before the aged became too many and I think they lost.
They’re very smart and a lot of their policies especially nuclear power and electric cars are very forward thinking and they may still be able to pull it off but this corona is a big hit.
I just wanna add how ridiculous the official numbers of China are. There are reports all over saying things are way worse and they reached the 100.000 mark already in late jan/early feb.
But let’s go with some basic math instead. https://nypost.com/2020/02/08/chinas-culture-of-lies-has-helped-spread-the-coronavirus/
“One crematorium manager told a Hong Kong reporter that, in normal times, his 24 ovens were lit five days a week for four hours at a time. Now, he said, they have so many corpses to deal with that all the ovens are going around the clock. This suggests the body count must be in the thousands.”
https://www.cremationresource.org/cremation/how-is-a-body-cremated.html
“On an average, it takes about one to three hours to cremate a human body”
Thus lets calculate with the crematorium needing 2 hours per chamber per corpse. Which is rather generous, since I took the average and assume that China is having proper safety, quality and moral standards in place – which we know they don’t. Most likely they are just pushing corpse after corpse in the crematoriums chambers when the previous one is just barely reduced.
But let’s stay at these generous numbers. The NYPost article mentions there are 14 crematoriums in Wuhan that are ALL going 24/7 at this point. ONLY in Wuhan and not other areas of China. As if the Virus didn’t spread before the quarantine.
Of those 14 there is one crematorium mentioned that has 24 chambers. Thus this single crematorium could cremate 24×12 (=288) bodies a day. The NYPost report was from early Feb. Give it a timeframe of 6 weeks where they had to cremate bodies full throttle – which I think is generous once again. As a result it means 24x12x7Dx6W = 12096 bodies
Now we need to substract the normal cases from this number. Fortunately the article mentions that the same crematorium usually just runs 5 days a week for 4 hours. Thus it is 24x2x5Dx6W = 1440 bodies. 12096 – 1440 = 10656 cases from Corona/Corona-related issues (such as other illnesses that would normally not be lethal, but due to overworked hospitals and staff they were).
Remember, this is just ONE out of FOURTEEN crematoriums ONLY in the city of Wuhan. Even if we assume the other crematoriums in Wuhan only have half the workload of this particular one (again being generous), we already reach up to 80.000 deaths ONLY in Wuhan. Again, the Virus absolutely has spread in other areas of China before the quarantine.
Even if these other areas weren’t as bad as Wuhan, Wuhan only has ~8-11 million people living there – which is LESS than 1% of the overall chinese population. Also the estimated 80.000 deaths only in Wuhan means almost 1% deathcount of the OVERALL population and not just the infected.
By the way. Wuhan lies in the province of Hubei, which has around 57.000.000 people. Since it’s the same province there is a good chance the Virus spread there. Again, this is barely 5% of the overlal chinese population.
So what’s Chinas official current deathtoll? 3237! See here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Yeah, not buying it. Not even close. Don’t need to be a conspiracy theorist to know something’s fishy. These numbers have AT LEAST a factor 10 to them. Add a zero to the end and you are at least somewhat closer to the truth. That would also explain why China has been improving – as they likely have reached herd immunity levels in their epicentre.
tl;dr Chinas number are bullocks.
This sort of analysis is far more accurate than any of the fake news they are giving us.

“Pelosi opposes the TrumpBux cash infusion, infuriating leftists, who see their big chance to create Universal Basic Income. Imagine how people who are super poor in the cities, and who never got a dime from Obama will view Trump when they get a few thousand in cash direct from the God Emperor with love. The left is terrified lower income people will begin to love Trump for this. And then there are the Bernie Bros.”
The last act of the Fed as we kill it should be to give all Americans a massive reparation for the generations of theft they have inflicted upon us.
Something like $1,000,000 or more.
But it needs to be a one time only thing and so does the economic support Trump is proposing right now.
Free money is r selecting.

In case the video gets taken down, it shows a large amount of hummers being sent to by train into the city.
From comments on the tweet, it looks like it was grey and rainy in Shitcago that day. The person took a video of a video playing on a phone. Other commenters said there was nothing out of the ordinary to have military vehicles brought through on train cars.
There is something going around this morning about a lockdown in 24-96 hours. I have no clue how reliable it is. I haven’t gotten to AC’s brief for today yet, or QResearch. I think somebody is spreading fear pr0n, and normies are freaking out. My wife reports that our local grocery store is packed. My mother in law got something from her boss, but when I asked for sauce, it was “friend of a friend of a friend” (literally), so I disregard it. A friend I do trust to evaluate information texted me last night that CA was on lockdown already and it’s expected to spread nationwide. I’m as ready as I can be.
