I’ve noticed that we don’t see death numbers anymore, just “cases”

Sometimes you get you wish and find out it isn't what you thought it was going to be.

That's called gaining knowledge.  So many people going to be educated!

This isn't the circus they had hoped for.  This won't change the election results either, no matter what the media tries to do.

Other data shows that most of the deaths in Italy are from those who are (on the average) 80 years old and with underlying health problems.  This is hardly a conclusive result of death due to Corona Virus.

I suspect that if you die from another illness and you have symptoms of the Corona Virus, that your death falls into the Corona Virus category.  Having symptoms doesn't mean it's the cause of death.  Correlation does not mean causation!

Italy says that their deaths are linked strongly to other potentially life threatening health problems but they had symptoms of Corona Virus.  Italy says that "probably" two deaths occurred from the virus but that they are not finished examining the health records of those two victims.  Yet, the whole country is in quarantine.

This panic is the result of ignorance and stupidity on the part of world governments, and the media feeding the frenzy because they want to be relevant, not because they are telling the truth.  This is a rare opportunity to increase control over your citizens and not to save them from a non-existent threat to life.

the Lemmings in government are all trying to outdo each other in claiming to care.  Meanwhile the population is being fed BS to make them believe that government is protecting them.

This is exactly how propaganda works.  If you tell people something long enough and frequently enough, they will believe anything.

Perhaps he should have told them that they are not going to care for them, that the virus patients have precedence.  If the government would address these intercity shootings like they are the virus the problem would of been solved a long time ago.

Bill Gates just resigned his directorships in Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway. Wonder if he also resigned from Planned Parenthood (and possibly still more) which didn’t make the news.

One police department in Oregon posted a reminder on their Facebook page, asking the public to not call for an emergency if they run out of toilet paperdue to the coronavirus outbreak. 

“It’s hard to believe that we even have to post this,” police in Newport, Oregon wrote. “Do not call 9-1-1 just because you ran out of toilet paper. You will survive without our assistance.” 

The post then pointed out the different methods used throughout history before suggesting other items that could be used in lieu of “your favorite soft, ultra plush two-ply citrus scented tissue.” 

Among their suggestions: grocery store receipts, newspaper, cloth rags, magazine pages, cotton balls and even leaves.

Federal Reserve Lowers Rates To 0% - 1/4%
$700 Billion In Quantitative Easing To Ensue 

 

 

The Federal Reserve announced on Sunday that it dropped its benchmark interest rate by a full point and launched a massive $700 billion quantitative easing program. 

“The effects of the coronavirus will weigh on economic activity in the near term and pose risks to the economic outlook,” the Federal Reserve said in a statement. “In light of these developments, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate to 0 to 1/4 percent. The Committee expects to maintain this target range until it is confident that the economy has weathered recent events and is on track to achieve its maximum employment and price stability goals.”
