Tom Hanks In Brisbane Self-isolation

(Sarah Carty's article from the YAHOO NEWS on 23 March 2020.)

'Common sense': Tom Hanks issues warning after testing positive for coronavirus: Tom Hanks has given fans an update on how he and his wife, Rita Wilson, are coping since being diagnosed with the coronavirus.

The 63-year-old actor is currently recovering from COVID-19 in a Gold Coast rental property and he urged his fans to keep their distance from each other in a bid to fight the virus.  “Hey, folks. Two weeks after our first symptoms and we feel better,” Tom wrote on Twitter. “Sheltering in place works like this: You don’t give it to anyone — You don’t get it from anyone. Common sense, no?”

“Going to take awhile, but if we take care of each other, help where we can, and give up some comforts… this, too, shall pass,” the actor wrote. “We can figure this out.” Tom’s statement comes just a few days after the famous actor’s sister revealed he wasn’t doing great in quarantine.

The Crash Of The "Everything Bubble" Is Here!

(Brandon Smith's article from the BIRCH GOLDG ROUP on 20 March 2020.)

The Crash of the “Everything Bubble” Is Here – And It’s Not Going Away Anytime Soon: Last November, in an article titled ‘The Economic Crash So Far: A Look At The Real Numbers’, I outlined the reality of statistical fraud by governments and central banks to hide the ongoing economic downturn.

The Everything Bubble, perhaps the biggest debt-fueled bubble in history, has been propping up the global economy for several years, but began to waver dramatically at the end of 2018, as the Federal Reserve tightened liquidity conditions into economic weakness (just as they did in 1929 and in the early 1930’s as the Great Depression took hold).

In that article, I warned: “If the global economy is not on the verge of collapse, then why did central banks keep propping it up for the past ten years? And if central banks have been propping up the system, how much longer do you think they can do this? How much longer do you think they want to do it? What if one day they decide to let the entire house of cards tumble? What if such an event actually benefits them?”

WHO Tedros Spread Chinese Propaganda For Master Xi

(Edwin Mora's article from the BREITBART NEWS on 22 March 2020.)

WHO Spread False Chinese Government Propaganda: Coronavirus Not Contagious Among Humans. The World Health Organization (WHO) praised Beijing’s response to the novel coronavirus in line with Chinese propagandists, at one point denying human-to-human transmission was taking place as the deadly and highly contagious disease spiraled out of control inside the communist country.

WHO Twitter messages from January and February show that the United Nations body was spreading Chinese propaganda. Health officials detected the first case of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on November 17 in Wuhan, China.

Communist officials in China hid the extent of the coronavirus outbreak during the early stages of the epidemic, jailing and silencing whistleblowers, a move that allowed the virus to gain a firm hold. The ruling communist party, however, has hailed the recent slowdown of the outbreak as a sign of the superiority of its authoritarian political system.

WHO DG Tedros Is Xi's Puppet & Not Even A Doctor

(Barnini Chakraborty's article from the FOX NEWS on 20 March 2020.)

Preventing stigma is much more
urgent than stopping pandemic.

China's relationship with WHO chief in wake of coronavirus outbreak under the microscope: The World Health Organization's director-general kicked off this Friday by praising China's efforts to contain and control the coronavirus.

In an early-morning tweet, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus applauded Beijing for its handling of the global pandemic, which China is largely blamed for spreading. "For the first time, #China has reported no domestic #COVID19 cases yesterday. This is an amazing achievement, which gives us all reassurance that the #coronavirus can be beaten," Tedros tweeted.

On its surface, the praise seems harmless enough. It is encouraging that the world's most populous country-- ground zero of the crisis-- has reported no new cases of the deadly disease. But a deeper dive into the cozy and symbiotic relationship between Tedros and Chinese President Xi Jinping has some crying foul.

On March 11, the WHO finally declared the coronavirus a global pandemic. While some praised the move, others like Bradley Thayer, a political science professor at the University of Texas, San Antonio, and Lianchao Han, the vice president of Citizen Power Initiatives for China, questioned why the WHO and its director-general waited so long when health officials from various governments alerted them to the widespread devastation weeks in advance.

Wuhan Flu or China Virus or Just COVID-19?

(Iain Marlow's article from the BLOOMBERG NEWS on 12 March 2020.)

Trump’s Retweet of ‘China Virus’ Fuels Tensions With Beijing: Both U.S. President Donald Trump and China’s Xi Jinping have good reasons to deflect political blame for the coronavirus outbreak. And that has both of them zeroing in on the pathogen’s name.

As the disease formally designated as COVID-19 expands across the U.S., Trump and other top Republicans have sought to highlight the outbreak’s foreign origin and even use it to justify curbs on immigration -- including a wall on the southern border with Mexico. On Tuesday, Trump retweeted supporter Charlie Kirk calling it the “China virus” -- with the president agreeing “we need the Wall more than ever!”

In a major prime time television address about the virus Wednesday night, Trump made numerous references to China, referred to the disease as a “foreign virus” and said “sweeping travel restrictions on China” imposed by the U.S. had prevented the scale of outbreaks now seen in Europe. “It started in China and is now spreading throughout the world,” Trump said.

Xi & Puppet WHO Tedros: Accountable For Pandemic

(Thayer & Han's opinion article from the HILL on 17 March 2020.)

Xi's puppet & WHO Chief Tedros.

China and the WHO's chief: Hold them both accountable for pandemic: The World Health Organization (WHO) last week finally declared the coronavirus from China that rapidly spread across the world a pandemic.

Now, with more than 150,000 confirmed cases globally and more than 5,700 deaths, the question is why it took so long for the WHO to perceive what many health officials and governments had identified far earlier. 

We believe the organization’s director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, like China’s Xi Jinping, should be held accountable for recklessly managing this deadly pandemic. Tedros apparently turned a blind eye to what happened in Wuhan and the rest of China and, after meeting with Xi in January, has helped China to play down the severity, prevalence and scope of the COVID-19 outbreak.

First It Was Food & Toilet Paper, Now It's Guns!

(Dalvin Brown's article from the USA TODAY on 16 March 2020.)

It's not just toilet paper: People line up to buy guns, ammo over coronavirus concerns: Ralph Charette, 71, said he bought a rifle and ammunition on Saturday to protect himself and his family as a wave of coronavirus panic sweeps across the country.

Charette, a military veteran, spent $1,500 at a gun shop in Germantown, Wisconsin, after encountering aggressive shoppers and empty shelves at local grocery stores. Now, if looters come knocking, he'll be ready, he said. "There's so much uncertainty and paranoia but you've got to protect your own," Charette said.

Charette is among a growing tide of Americans who are going to retailers, pawnshops and online to purchase gun supplies and ammunition in the wake of COVID-19, which had killed more than 60 people in the U.S. as of Saturday afternoon.

Super-Vaccinated: We Burmese Don't Get Wuhan Virus?

When I was five or six years old, me and almost all the boys and girls my age were forcibly vaccinated by the government doctors and nurses at the local hospital in Mawgyun Town in the vast Irrawaddy Delta of lower Burma where I grew up.

The horribly painful vaccine was a so-called super vaccine to prevent almost all the viral diseases prevalent in Burma that time. That super vaccine was to protect us From Cholera, small pox, measles, polio, and whatever horrible diseases responsible for the very high infant mortality rate back then in Burma.

But the unexpected side effects were horrendous. We all got seriously sick from the reaction and almost all vaccinated children ended up in the hospital and a few including my one friend died, I still remember. I still have two huge  vaccine-scars each the size of an Aussie-two-dollar coin on my left arm even after nearly 60 years.

How Italy Got It So Wrong With Wuhan Virus?

(Linton Besser's article from the ABC NEWS on 17 March 2020.)

Italy thought it was under control until Patient One showed up. The country's first known cases were two visitors from Wuhan, in China. Detected on January 29, they were placed in isolation in a hospital in Rome and the wheels of a national response began to grind forward.

The next day, Italy was the first European state to block all flights to and from China and Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte declared his country's emergency response "the most rigorous in Europe". But a local outbreak was already taking hold.

Two weeks after Conte's bold words, a 38-year-old man known only as Mattia — who in the days prior had socialised with friends and competed in a fun run — saw his GP in Codogno complaining of a flu.
