news Covid19-Coronavirus updates and news

[Mister Funsky]

Having relatives and friends scattered all over the globe, I am getting an overload of input (some on the record and some off the record).

My intention for this thread is for community members from around the world to post first hand stories and/or links to information sources that, for the most part, should be reliable.

In my community, just outside a major southeastern city, 'assets' have been placed. Only because I have friends in both high and low places have I heard about some of this. At this point it is only some basic medical supplies that should be equally distributed anyway in preparation for a natural emergency (hurricane/wildfire/etc.).

I will start with posting a link to a site with current data that seems to come from an aggregate of sources and hope others will do the same as they come across similar sites/pages.

Because of the 'typhoid Mary' spread-ability of this disease, I feel we may be in for a really large spread globally which will impact the global economy and through extension, retail domain prices.

One thing is for sure...things will get worse before they get better.

There truly is so much more going on behind the scenes...I am fortunate to be surrounded by a strong community of people that are not ignorant. The move to remove cash goes back decades...it's a matter of record. This is what I expect will be one of the outcomes of this pandemic. Just one.

yes, i feel sorry for all people who just accept this blindly... i mean you are already hearing people on street saying as if nothing happened that this is "the new normal".

im not saying its all going for the worse... nor that nwo is necessarily a bad thing. because I know that world as we had it, it was not perfect.. far from it... so many things wrong! stress.. suffering.. poverty... murder... theft... drugs.. you name it.. we had it..

but... at least question what is going on... good or bad.. do not blindly accept just one version fed to you by news.

so yeah...these are historic times! I mean who among us would have thoughtj we'd live to see them! the stuff happening now is what most of us thought would happen one day.. sometime in future... in 100-500 years or so... but in our lifetimes.. wow.. i don't think many expected it.

truly, nothing in this world happens by chance.. people still think bitcoin was all random, at some random time, by some random unknown nakamoto who no one knows.. we all got fooled in so many ways. but.. that was part of plan too!

The Pune-based molecular diagnostics company Mylab has developed first made-in-India
test kit for coronavirus in a record time of six weeks.

https://www.businesstoday.in/top-st...ab-gets-commercial-approval/story/399007.html

A single kit costs Rs 80,000 & can test 100 patients.

This is like $11 US per test. Mylab's turn around time is 2 1/2 hours to get the test results.

“This is going to be as bad as Italy or worse.” As much of the world shuts down amid the worsening coronavirus pandemic, Mexico City’s streets are bustling and the country’s president insists on calm.

I'm not from America but I'm astonished looking at America and Trumps attitude to it all.

An American president promoting non-proven things as treatments to the Coronavirus.

Talk of re-opening American businesses.

I really hope I’m wrong about this but when you look at measures all other countries are taking and sacrifices people are making in terms of their liberty (short-term) in attempt to stop the spread and then you look at the attitude of Trump, I fear it could get really bad in America, even worse than Italy.

I think this could end him.

I agree...this will either break him or make him re next election cycle (I added the bold to above). Wish I could go on more but have leave unexpectedly...everybody play nice!

well trump even today keeps saying that "it'll all be over in few weeks like a miracle"..

maybe he is trying to say it'll all be over cause we'll all be dead.

in that case, you do very well not to watch the news.
people tend to call conspiracy theory everything except the news.
when the news is the biggest conspiracy of all.

I'm just looking at 2 of his most recent tweets:-

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1242455267603877894

Wow!

It's scary and what's even scarier is there are many American's who agree with everything he says, no matter what he says.

Whilst controversial, I actually think Donald Trump as done some good things, but i think he's the wrong president to guide America through this pandemic, trouble is he and America are not going to get a 2nd chance at this, the time to act and 'try' to contain the spread of this virus is now, these are life and death decisions he’s making and most of his decisions/intentions are going against the advice of experts and doctors.

 

[alcy]

i think all presidents/politicians are not meant to be good for us.... haven't been maybe i dunno... jfk... but we all know what they do with the good ones..

now all we do is vote for the lesser evil.... but its still all evil.

Brits who ignore government lockdown instructions will be fined $35 on the spot

Brits who fail to follow the government's instructions to stay at home face an on-the-spot fine of 30 pounds — or about $35.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's spokesperson announced the measures this afternoon and indicated that the fines could be subject to increase.

Yesterday, the Prime Minister announced a number of restrictions on the movements of the British public. British people may only leave their homes to get groceries, visit the doctor, exercise once a day or to go to work if it is not possible to do so from home.

A Downing Street spokesperson confirmed to CNN a report by Reuters announcing that police will be able to impose these penalties "as soon as possible and by Thursday at the latest." The measures have been taken to help "disperse groups of people who are flouting the rules."

The spokesperson confirmed that the amount would be regularly reviewed and could be increased "significantly if it is necessary to ensure public compliance."

African jazz legend Manu Dibango died of coronavirus, according to his official Facebook

World-renowned jazz musician Manu Dibango has died of coronavirus Tuesday, according to his official Facebook page.

"Dear family, dear friends, dear fans, a voice raises from far away…It is with deep sadness that we announce you the loss of Manu Dibango, our Papy Groove, who passed away on 24th of March 2020, at 86 years old, of covid 19,” the statement posted on Facebook said.

The Cameroonian saxophone player achieved global fame in the 1970s for his style of mixing jazz with traditional music from his home country.

Dibango was also a big influence for many musicians around the globe for several decades and his music was often sampled; most famously in Michael Jackson’s hit "Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin." In it, Jackson used a catchy hook from Dibango's 1972 Soul Makossa.

That's a good video, speaks sooth backed up by some hard to swallow facts. Most everyone feels there's something going on behind the scenes but is either too sh*t-scared or apathetic to do anything about it. The public would rather buy the red herring political BS than face the fact that this was a setup.
