Maybe if China had a little bit more of it and reporters weren't silenced in the interests of "Make China Great Again" maybe they could have stopped this thing before it spread.


Maybe if our president wasn't a wannabe dictator, we could have HAD a response to this thing in time to save a hell of a lot of lives...

Nope. I think over the top hysteria is over the top hysteria, and narcissims is narcissim.

Only someone as narcissistic as you would think the two were even related to each other.


What I was responding to, TWITCHY, was "freedom is everything". Nope, freedom is NOT everything. If you're alive but not free, you might fight your way to freedom. But if you're dead, it's not like you're about to change your circumstances.

LIFE, TWITCHY, is more important than freedom. You need to be alive to enjoy freedom or even the prospect of freedom. Your statement is blather.

“I Don’t Know Anything About It,” Trump Says About White House’s Elimination of Pandemic Response Team

Another learning experience for the president, and for everyone.

Trump was asked about the Pandemic Response Team during a White House press conference, and his response was, simply put, bad. This was not the moment in Friday’s press conference that best demonstrated the president’s refusal to take responsibility for the United States’ response to the coronavirus. That’s because he answered another question, about the nationwide shortage of viral testing kits, by saying, “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

Have you heard of "The Buck Stops Here"? With Trump, it does not stop:

ALCINDOR: You did disband the White House pandemic office, and the officials that were working in that office left this administration abruptly. So what responsibility do you take for that, and—the officials that worked in that office said the White House lost valuable time because that office was disbanded. What do you make of that?

TRUMP: Well, I just think it’s a nasty question, because what we’ve done, and Tony had said numerous times that we saved thousands of lives because of the quick closing. [Ed.: The closing of borders to some travelers.] And when you say me, I didn’t do it. We have a group of people, I could ask perhaps, in my administration, but I could perhaps ask Tony about that, because I don’t know anything about it. I mean, you say we did that, I don’t know anything about it. Disbanding, no, I don’t know anything about it …

ALCINDOR: You don’t know about the reorganization that happened at the National Security Council?

TRUMP: … It’s the administration, perhaps they do that, let people go, you used to be with a different newspaper than you are now, you know, things like that happen.

Alcindor’s microphone was cut off as she was asking a follow-up question.

Only if you keep going do you finally learn that Trump misled the public over and over during his press conference Friday. Under a bland headline, reporter Linda Qiu tells us that on live national TV:

1) Trump lied when he blamed Obama for testing shortages.

2) Trump lied or was delusional—or something—when he said Google was ready to go with a coronavirus website.

3) Trump lied when he said he closed the border with Europe “some time ago.”

4) Trump pretended that he had no responsibility for disbanding a pandemic team in the White House.

5) She could have added that the entire press conference was a master class in how not to respond to the coronavirus: Trump crowded a bunch of people together; he shook as many hands as he could; he said he hadn’t bothered isolating himself or getting tested even though he’s been around other people who have tested positive; and he didn’t use the opportunity to explain best practices to people.

I get that condemning Trump is not the main goal of the news pages of the Times. They aren’t Mojo or The Nation or Rachel Maddow. But purely as a news service, isn’t it important for their readers to know that they can’t trust anything Trump says about the coronavirus pandemic? He’s had several chances to get it right and his self-centered personality simply doesn’t allow him to. This is something that the mainstream news media needs to make sure the public understands.

Life without freedom is life. Death is death, and it's about the most unfree that you can be.

Nobody ever said being trafficked was "the best thing ever" (just you, sweet cheeks, lying to make a point) but if being trafficked is worse than death why don't we see mass suicides?? Maybe because most people prefer to being alive over being dead.

What a great guy!

Jeff Bezos sends out a letter to all of his Whole Foods employees asking them to donate their PTO into a pool that sick people can use to stay at home if they get COVID.



He's playing psychological tricks on them on two fronts. Guilt Trip and Self Preservation.



But hey! At least Whole Foods employees have PTO. Employees at a lot of other retailers out there aren't so lucky.

Avoid all the movies and church you want, and thank Big Brother for shutting down all the sporting events for you. But at the end of the day it's the sick employees at the grocery stores that are going to spread it to you, after they've infected each other with it.

Hey SIX! I found someone who agrees with you!



I happen to appreciate Celente and I agree with some of his points but in this case I happen to think he's wrong. Here's why: He brings up previous panics that were used to stampede people like Saddam's WMD and RUSSIA!RUSSIA! (and he doesn't bring it up but I put 9-11 into that category, which we will probably one day find out was a joint Israeli-Saudi operation ... but I digress.) But it's like the Boy Who Cried Wolf. You remember what the end of the story was, don't you? In the end, there was a real wolf, but nobody believed the boy.

IMHO I think I'm pretty savvy to the deviousness of our deep state. Haven't been fooled yet, as far as I can tell, by their false flags and black ops. In THIS case, tho, I think it's the real deal, or certainly has the capacity to become one unless either action is taken to stop it, or some unforeseen good fortune causes it to mutate into a kinder, gentler virus.

I don't expect you to believe me or trust what I say, but don't be so black-pilled that you can't even rationally evaluate the evidence of your senses

The Coronavirus Pandemic Probably Won’t Have a Huge Economic Impact Next Year

The 1918 Spanish flu killed about 700,000 people in the United States—far more than the coronavirus pandemic is likely to kill. What’s more, the Spanish flu was unusual in who it killed: upwards of 70-80 percent were prime-age workers. The coronavirus, by contrast, leaves prime-age workers nearly untouched, with 70-80 percent of deaths coming from those 60 or over. From a purely economic perspective, these two things make the Spanish flu far more severe than the coronavirus is likely to be.

From a cold-eyed economic perspective, the coronavirus pandemic is unlikely to be as severe as the Spanish flu, and the Spanish flu had a surprisingly modest effect on the economy in 1919 and beyond.

Society as a whole recovered from the 1918 influenza quickly; individuals who were affected by the influenza had their lives changed forever.

Glad to see that MotherJones of all places is trying to put some breaks on this stupid panic.

"Next Year" isn't going to help a lot of small businesses that were already struggling though. I think a lot of people are going to go out of business in the short term, and the Legacy Media is squarely to blame for it.

Incorrect. After disastrous communications during the 2001 anthrax attacks — when white powder in envelopes sparked widespread panic — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention created a 450-page manual outlining how U.S. leaders should talk to the "Legacy Media" during crises. Trump is breaking every rule in the CDC’s 450-page playbook for health crisis.

https://emergency.cdc.gov/cerc/ppt/cerc_2014edition_Copy.pdf

Protecting vulnerable people depends on U.S. leaders issuing clear public health instructions to the "Legacy Media" and the public trusting U.S. leaders enough to follow directions that could save their lives.

“Sometimes it seems like they have literally thrown out the book,” said Joshua Sharfstein, a former top FDA official and Johns Hopkins University professor who is using the CDC manual to teach a crisis communication class. “We’re studying what to do — and at times seeing what not to do — on the same day.”

Two weeks ago, Trump said the country would soon have zero cases. This week, there were more than 2,200 and 49 deaths. When asked at a news conference Friday why he disbanded the White House’s pandemic office, Trump denied doing so, saying, “I didn’t do it … I don’t know anything about it.” When asked if he bore any responsibility for disastrous delays in testing, Trump said no, blaming instead “circumstances” and “regulations” created by others. When asked if Americans should believe Trump or his top health official, Anthony S. Fauci — whom Trump has contradicted repeatedly — Trump sidestepped the question.

“For those of us in this field, this is profoundly and deeply distressing,” said Matthew Seeger, a risk communication expert at Wayne State University who developed the CDC guidebook alongside many top doctors, public health researchers, scientists, consultants and behavioral psychologists.

“It’s creating higher levels of anxiety, higher levels of uncertainty and higher levels of social disruption. … We spent decades training people and investing in developing this competency. We know how to do this.”

For three years, the Trump administration has often taken a hostile stance to science and its practitioners, but health crisis experts say it’s not too late and the fruits of their research — like the CDC’s 450-page manual — are waiting, untapped, to serve as a road map to help leaders navigate the growing pandemic.

You are blaming the "Legacy Media". The blame is on Trump. He didn't bother to read, understand, and follow the book on how to communicate to the "Legacy Media" during a crisis. Instead, he did what he always does, pretend he knows more than he does and then run his loud and ignorant mouth, constantly contradicting people who know what they are talking about. Trump has always been loud and confused. He spreads his confusion everywhere. That's why his Casinos failed and why he has been sued thousands of times and why he has been divorced and why North Korea laughed at his foolish negotiations.

Who are the winners and losers of COVID19 "panic"?

Well. the Chinese economy was certainly rattled by COVID19 response. Neither the people nor the government benefitted from locking down a major industrial province for over a month and at one time half of the nation. Neither they nor the people benefitted from devoting tremendous resources to building several major "pop-up" hospitals in Wuhan to care for the surge of deathly ill. The only potential beneficiary would be "regime change" operators in our deep state, since the Chinese government did face criticism and instability, but since "they" failed to springboard that instability into regime change, if "panic" was their weapon it failed.

Who else are winners and losers? Well, the losers are the many transnationals who sourced their supply chains in China. Apple springs to mind, but there are THOUSANDS of companies who source their lithium (batteries), neodymium (magnets for ... among other things ... hard drives), fine and specialty chemicals (for, among other things, pharmaceuticals), chips, car parts, plastics and resins, solar panels. and so forth, from China. So I don't see any transnational having an interest in promoting panic.

Does the Italian government have an interest in promoting panic, or the EU? Nope, don't see that either. The Italian government is facing strong criticism for its overwhelmed healthcare system, and the EU for clinging to the idea of the schengen (open borders within the EU) allowing the virus to spread everywhere unchecked.

What about the financials?

Hmm... seems the stock markets took a beating, especially entertainment stocks, bank stocks, tech sector, and oil. If this thing really gets rolling in the USA I expect hospital corporations and health insurances to take a beating, too. That means pension funds and other insurances are going to suffer, too. The only beneficiaries are the companies that make sanitizing products and toilet paper (toilet paper???) so you might want to buy some of those stocks.

I don't see any big financial motivation to start a panic about COVID19, and since the M$M is beholden to big transationals (telecom, entertainment, and banks are big investors) and none of THOSE have an interest in taking a beating. it would seem counter-intuitive for them to be shooting their bosses in the foot. Or the face.

Even the military doesn't benefit ... they have all of these soldiers, sailors, and pilots on foreign bases living in close quarters ... one has to think about whether to quarantine them on-base or "let 'er rip" and hope that nobody brings home the case that stats a major cluster.

SIX, This conspiracy of yours seems to have no big beneficiary. You proposing that the media is panicking everyone to the detriment of every business and institution (except themselves) ... not gonna happen. We BOTH know that the media is totally controlled.

*****

There are two things that caused me to dispose of the panic-conspiracy theory:

1) China building huge pop-up hospitals. No nation would do that unless it was facing a real threat. And ...

2) The fact that news of the virus was noodling around the internet for OVER A MONTH before the M$M found a way to weaponize it against Trump. If this had been pre-planned they would have had a pre-prepared narrative.

Now, ANY crisis can be used/spun to advantage. The Fed, for example, is taking this moment to inject ginormous amounts of money into the banks. It may promote the idea of a "cashless" society (dirty money) over which it has total control. The Chinese government took the oppty to extend its control over citizen movements and social credit. Democrats are trying to figure out a way to spin this to their advantage, but since Trump seems to be taking the initiative (at least publicity-wise) they're now trying to spin this into No Big Deal.

SECOND's article is, as usual, secondhand and secondrate. When the Spanish flu swept the world in 1918, the Unites States was still primarily a rural, national economy, with its markets, products, and services located internally. We didn't depend on China for supplying us with crucial pharmaceuticals just at they didn't depend on us for a market. Hollywood didn't depend on foreign audiences. We were a nation of a few large industries (coal, steel, railroads) but mostly small ones. Half of people still lived on farms. People were dying of all kinds of things back then... TB, childbirth, etc. even then, in one year the average life expectancy dropped by 12 years. The effect of the Spanish flu was quantitative, not qualitative. I guess it remains to be seen if COVID19 will cause a resurgence of nationalism and long, fragile supply lines to be shortened, or if the world will roll on as usual in a couple of years. (I think not, because of other factors like the giant USA debt, but that's another story.)

If this progresses like it did in China and Italy, EVERYONE will suffer. The well-heeled, well-traveled, well-connected elite. Mom and pop businesses. Elderly politicians and elderly in nursing care homes. Stocks. Insurances. The dollar. Transnationals. Hollywood. No winners, all losers, except Purell and the makers of toilet paper, and whichever interest group or business that can spin this to their advantage (if any).

Hope you stocked up on TP or really anything before your Legacy Media made people temporarily insane. I got everything I need. I always do. Unlike your husband, mine lasts a lot longer without two people leaching off the stash too.

Yer still missing a few items.

2. A BRAIN. What you gonna do when you run out of dough and HAVE to get a job, right in the middle of a pandemic?

Illinois Mayor Grants Herself Power To Ban Gun Sales And Alcohol During Coronavirus Epidemic

Champaign, Illinois mayor Deborah Frank Feinen signed an executive order on Thursday declaring a state of emergency to address the coronavirus.

So far, so good

Quote:

Among the sweeping powers she gained after signing the executive order was the ability to ban the sale of guns, ammunition, alcohol and gasoline - as well as the power to cut off access to individuals' gas, water or electricity, according to the Washington Examiner.
Because ... why??? When faced with an emergency, seems like the tyrant just comes out in some people, doesn't it? Kinda like the predrafted "Patriot" Act that came into being right after 9-11.

Quote:

The city can also "take possession of private property" and order the temporary closing of all liquor stores and bars.
Jeezus, this woman has a stick up her ass.

Quote:

"The executive order allows the city to be flexible to properly respond to the emergency needs of our community. None of the options will necessarily be implemented but are available in order to protect the welfare and safety of our community if needed," city manager Jeff Hamilton told WAND.
Whatever power they've granted themselves has fuck-all to do with combatting a virus.

Quote:

On Friday, the Champaign City Council met to discuss concerns over the sweeping powers granted to Feinen, with Deputy Mayor Tom Bruno noting that each ordinance considered under the executive order would be ratified by the council. Additionally, the city said Feinen would only take steps "necessary to ensure the health, safety, and welfare" of the city. blah blah blah...

Illinois has 64 confirmed cases of coronavirus as of this writing.

On Monday, Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced a statewide disaster proclamation to address the situation.

Sheesh. Like we aren't drowning in debt already??? Yanno, it was the bank bailouts in 2008 that got us to where we are now, financially-speaking. There's no money circulation... and money is like blood: it only works when it's circulating. People aren't buying because they aren't earning. You can pump all the money you want into the financial system, but if it's not flowing from production to consumotion all you'll wind up with is a very bloated corpse. Plus, it'll do fuck-all for stopping the virus.

It's times like these you need to be specially wary of responses that have nothing to do with the virus but are just sheer power grabs.

Remember that Trump wanted to stop collecting payroll taxes? It was just a sneaky way to attack Social Security and Medicare. When FDR was designing Social Security the payroll tax was a way to forever prevent Republicans from being able to kill the program. The voters had put their own money in and they want it back. They even get a yearly report on how much they had contributed toward their retirement. If Social Security was paid for only by taxes on the rich, it is far easier for Republicans to cut the program.

"Would Trump's 0% Payroll Tax Crush Social Security?"
www.fool.com/retirement/2020/03/15/would-trumps-0-payroll-tax-crush-so
cial-security.aspx

Answer: Don't Know. The longer-term impact on the Social Security system depends on whether the proposal aims to replace lost payroll tax revenue to make the program whole. Without knowing which way President Trump would go on that key question, it's impossible to know whether this is a larger attack on Social Security itself.

Nine Thoughts On COVID-19 And What’s Coming
Caitlin Johnstone

Mar 16

This gig is kinda weird at the moment. I write about what’s going on in the world for a living, and there’s certainly plenty going on in the world to be written about. But also there’s this acute awareness that anything I write about today is going to look petty and insignificant in the very near future.

I mean, we’re in the first moments of an unfolding pandemic which, from what I can tell just looking at the numbers, is about to change the world in some pretty significant ways. Governmental faceplant after governmental faceplant after missed opportunity after missed opportunity all around the world appears to have set us on a trajectory toward overburdened healthcare systems, severe economic downturns, and, of course, mass deaths.

And maybe chaos. And maybe healing. And maybe, when all is said and done, a total restructuring of power and the way we do things.

Standing on the precipice of that, how the hell am I supposed to write about how Bernie didn’t go hard enough at Biden in the last debate or whatever? So many of the arguments we’ve been placing so much importance on lately could easily look irrelevant in a matter of weeks.

Anyway, here are nine thoughts on COVID-19 and what’s coming.

1 — Everyone in conspiracy circles has strong opinions about what’s going on, so anything I could possibly say about this is going to get a ton of pushback from some faction or another. That’s fine. In my opinion the fears that the ruling class will seize this opportunity to advance preexisting authoritarian agendas are well-founded, and people are right to have suspicions about the official narrative on the origins of the virus, but people who are still saying the whole thing is fake from top to bottom and it’s just another flu/no big deal have been proved wrong by facts in evidence. People should minimize social contact to avoid overburdening healthcare systems and thereby killing people. No matter how certain you are that this is all fake, you’re not certain enough to justify needlessly risking lives.

2 — Google-owned YouTube has just announced that they’re going to be censoring a lot more videos during the pandemic, citing the need to rely on automated censorship as they scale back workers’ presence at the office. No attempt has been made to explain why YouTube staff can’t just review the material working from home. Definitely worth keeping an eye on; if widespread authoritarian measures are going to be implemented during this time, increasing internet censorship will likely be the first step.

3 — I think this is going to hit America much harder than other countries, unfortunately. Combine a literal joke of a healthcare system with a president who up until just today has been dismissive of the threat the virus poses, the fact that the majority of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 emergency expense at a time of mounting layoffs while being chronically uninsured or underinsured, an inability to make anything happen without massive corporations voluntarily going against their own profit margins, a culture of rugged individualism with a reflexive distaste for collectivist organization for the good of the whole, and a highly religious population with many preachers telling their underinsured parishioners to demonstrate their faith by gathering at the megachurch and shaking hands with everyone, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.

Please stay as safe as you can.

What is your reaction to this story that explains a great deal about the Trump administration's response? Not everything is explained, that will have to wait for the scholarly books written many years from now:

In a tabletop exercise days before an untested new president took power, officials briefed the incoming administration on a scenario remarkably like the one he faces now.

The briefing was intended to hammer home a new, terrifying reality facing the Trump administration, and the incoming president’s responsibility to protect Americans amid a crisis.

But roughly two-thirds of the Trump representatives in that room are no longer serving in the administration. That extraordinary turnover in the months and years that followed is likely one reason his administration has struggled to handle the very real pandemic it faces now, former Obama administration officials said.

“The advantage we had under Obama was that during the first four years we had the same White House staff, the same Cabinet,” said former deputy labor secretary Chris Lu, who attended the gathering. “Just having the continuity makes all the difference in the world.”

Asked whether information about the pandemic exercise reached the president-elect, a former senior Trump administration official who attended the meeting couldn’t say for sure but noted that it wasn’t “the kind of thing that really interested the president very much.”

“He was never interested in things that might happen. He’s totally focused on the stock market, the economy and always bashing his predecessor and giving him no credit,” the person said. “The possibility things were things he didn’t spend much time on or show much interest in.

“Even though we would put time on the schedule for things like that, if they happened at all, they would be very, very brief,” the former official continued. “To get the president to be focused on something like this would be quite hard.”

So my question is, why are Democrats pushing demented Joe Biden as the cure?

Democrats are horrible. They have been horrible for a very, very long time. This is why Trump was elected. They still haven't figured that out.



The answer to my question about Democrats pushing demented Joe Biden as the cure is the exact same answer to why Trump got elected.

Take a long hard look at everybody else who was on that stage and what they were saying.

The answer to all your questions are exactly the same: At least 50% and probably more of Americans, both D and R, have almost no memory for what happens. Facts and ideas fade very quickly from their brains. (But they are oh so certain they remember with complete clarity.) This poverty of memory also explains why their ordinary lives, separate from their politics, don't run smoothly:

ABC News/Ipsos has a new poll out measuring what people think of President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic:

In the new poll, 55% of Americans approve of the president’s management of the crisis, compared to 43% who disapprove. Trump’s approval on this issue is up from last week, when the numbers were nearly reversed. Only 43% approved of Trump’s handling of the pandemic and 54% disapproved in last week’s poll.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/coronavirus-upends-nation-americans-li
ves-changed-pandemic-poll/story?id=69696172


All it took was a week for a lot of people to forget Trump’s early mismanagement. All he had to do was adopt a slightly more serious tone and all was forgiven. Truly amazing. When they start getting checks from Nancy Pelosi, a lot of people will have a much improved opinion of Trump, not Pelosi, because most Americans neither understood nor remember who did what.

I keep thinking, Second, that one of these days that you, the other goons here, and Democrats in general are going to wake up and realize that none of this is about Trump.

If there were a single charismatic leader among the Democrats, or a single message that they had that resonated with the people and the people actually believed wasn't just your average political whoring, there is zero chance that those numbers would have reversed so quickly.

Trump isn't exhibiting any form of mind control on the populace. You guys keep talking about how stupid he is. He's far from a criminal mastermind.


Democrats don't do shit for the people. Most of their messages during the debates were about opening the borders and handing out more welfare to non-citizens and calling anybody who didn't agree with them racists.



A majority of Americans in 2020 are simply more inclined to lean to the Right than the Left. The blame for that lies squarely on the Democratic Party.

And the article you just posted, given the fact that we're in the middle of a pandemic that is putting people out of work and keeping kids home from school, the fact that the DOW has taken a historical massive beating, and given the fact that we may be facing a short-term unemployment rate of 20%, and Trump STILL has a 55% approval rating should really say something to you about your party.


Stop blaming Trump for everything and start yelling at Democratic Party leaders to do something.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Somewhere between being in total denial, which has its own bad outcomes; and total focus, which for sure poor countries can't afford even in the short-term; there's a middle path. Mask mandates and free/ cheap masks might be a good start.


For poor countries the more robust statistic I think is excess deaths, since 'cases' relies on the amount of testing. If you don't test, you don't have cases.
