News Briefs – 03/23/2020

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.

No Q. You can see Q’s posts aggregated live, and new ones which may have gone live after our print deadline at http://www.qanon.pub

Here is my take on the virus, as best I can tell, after putting together all the reports below. It is probably a 20% or greater chance of being a life-ruiner. The chances of your dying or suffering the rest of your life tied to an oxygen bottle is a lot higher than the official numbers would indicate, but we have no idea how bad. The Chinese were lying to save face, and now the West is lying, probably to diminish panic. And the truth is, I am not sure I blame them. This orderly lockdown is probably better than the chaos which might have happened if they were honest, if the virus is significantly worse than China’s official numbers. Since we probably have no numbers we can trust, I think all we have is Trump’s decisions, which are incredibly unprecedented. And the fact every other country is doing this exact same protocol, which has basically shut the entire world down. They wouldn’t do this for a flu. It is possible they are exploiting it for the Storm, but I doubt it. My guess is we are looking at a mad rush for a vaccine, hopefully in 18 months, and until then we are locked down, unless one of the new drug regimens works. In that time, you do not want to get this virus. Get a full face respirator. Get a Tyvek suit incase it gets worse. Get nitrile gloves. Get a fuckload of alcohol. Get accustomed to using that gear, and stock up as best you can for as long as you can. Get canned food, and get used to the idea our lives are going to be on pause for a while. On the bright side, when this is over, all you will have to say is, “What if one of these immigrants brings in a global plague?” and everyone will conclude we do not need any immigrants in our nations. the thought of a new plague will become the amygdala trigger of the entire world. Open borders are officially no longer a thing. On the downside, this could still mutate into something worse.

Paris No-Go Zone Police were overwhelmed attempting to enforce the quarantine in the No-Go zone. Hopefully when push comes to shove, only real Frenchmen will have access to ventilators. If they can’t quarantine, they can deal with the consequences.

Now it looks like there are 21 million fewer Chinese Cellphone users. And over there you have to have a cell phone, for payments, and communications. The government made it that way so people would need to carry around a CCP surveillance device. And now there are 21 million fewer of them, possibly due to the virus.

Harvey Weinstein has already gotten the Coronavirus. Before he even went in, prison officials were worrying they couldn’t keep someone else from killing him. Now he’s about to be carried out feet first not even a month into his sentence.

Rand Paul tests positive for coronavirus. He is high risk due to having a piece of his lung removed and pneumonia after the assault by his neighbor, but he is presently showing no symptoms. Turned up just on a test taken because of his travel. Mitt Romney goes into self-quarantine after exposure to Rand Paul.

Angela Merkel put in quarantine because her doctor tested positive.

This thread explains why we are under lockdown. Probably mandated reading. Basically computer modelling shows if they lift a lockdown and try to suppress it through contact-tracing, before we are vaccinated or there is a simple treatment that cures, we quickly overwhelm the supply of ventilators, and 2 million people die within three months. Bear in mind that assumes a .9% case fatality rate, and if everybody needs a ventilator and there are none, as we see in Lombardy where they are doing that, that jumps up to 12% or more, which would probably mean 27 million dead, and that is with us contact tracing and locking down family members. In contrast, if we all are locked down in our houses, we do not overwhelm the ventilator supply, and only a few thousand die, but we cannot lift the lockdown until there is a vaccination, or we immediately see 2 million (or something substantially higher) die. Unfortunately it will be 18 months until the vaccine is available. Those with K-amygdalae who understand this, and lock themselves down for 18 months will survive, but there will be high mortality among those who cannot weigh risk vs reward. Basically we are now being given a giant evolutionary marshmallow test. I will point out, if everyone simply wore full face respirators, gloves, and Tyvek suits, and sprayed themselves down with 70% alcohol on returning home after each outing, everyone  could do everything they presently do, and have near-zero chance of spreading the virus.  The economy would continue, people would be protected, and the R0 of Coronavirus among those who complied would be near 0, and it would die out. Only those who refused to comply with the protocol would get infected. Indeed, this is the only way you can be certain of avoiding it now if you have to go shopping. It would actually cull the low IQs and the irresponsibles who lack the intelligence to grasp the threat of infection or the steps necessary to avoid it. Those would mostly be the open borders crowds, the soft-on-crime crowds, and the socialists – pretty much the rabbits.

New York City Mayor attacks Trump for lack of supplies, but his own city didn’t make a single order for supplies until May 6.

The Corona virus shows signs of possibly being a virus designed as a vaccine, presumably designed to spread through the populace and create immunity to a Coronavirus. Possible. That might be what the slower transmitting version with a lower lethality was. They just underestimated, or failed to consider how fast an RNA virus would mutate, and it turned into something much more dangerous. But by then it was too late.

12% of deaths in Italy had no previous conditions.

Mortality rate in Lombardy is estimated at 12%, but yesterday’s brief showed mayors saying the real death numbers for Corona were four times higher as only one in four were confirmed by test and counted.

Italian daily death rate is up 20%, and in the Lombardy region it is up 80%.

Merkel says, “60 to 70 percent in Germany will become infected.”

The military has laid out plans in the event every political leader in the line of succession dies, there is mass unrest, and the Military needs to step in to run the country. My guess is buried in the whole thing are Cabal-related plans.

Iowa hospitals are now allowed to temporarily hire nurses with lapsed or inactive licenses.

6 University of Tampa students test positive for coronavirus after spring break. None hospitalized yet.

First fed inmate tests positive for coronavirus. This is all very bad. Within the body, there is a selective pressure among the virus particles, selecting for the ones which are fastest at taking over cells (and destroying them incidentally while reproducing). That selects for more lethal viruses, as the fastest, best-working ones dominate. Working against that is the fact most viruses infect after symptoms present. So if the virus is too lethal too fast, it kills the next host before spreading. But Corona transmits to others before symptoms present, so although there is a little pressure looking for one which spreads more, it is not a kill switch destroying the virus if it gets too lethal. With all these infections, and assumptions it will infect 60,or 70, or 80% of the globe, there will be a lot of opportunities for this to get a lot hotter, and have a much higher Case Fatality Rate.

Epoch Times finds official government documents portray a very different picture about how bad things are in Wuhan.

“Lost” star Daniel Dae Kim believes the anti-malarial drug touted by President Trump was the “secret weapon” in his recovery from the coronavirus. He praised hydroxychloroquine as being “critical” and is now “practically back to normal” because of it. However he got a test over fear of exposure, and began a cocktail of TamiFlu, Azithromycin, a Glycopyrrolate inhaler, and Hydroxychloroquine before symptoms appeared.

Curious picture I saw on 4chan – Ellen looking like shit with some box-shaped thing strapped to her calf.

Do you believe the death toll in the US is much higher than being reported? If so, where would these deaths most likely be occurring – limited mostly to the hot zone areas like NYC and Washington State? All big cities?

I live near the hospital where the first case was reported and near the nursing home that had a bunch of deaths in Washington state. So far, I don’t know anyone or know of anyone who knows of anyone who has become ill. Personally, at this point based on just on the ground observation and intuition, I think it’s totally overblown.

But then again, perhaps Weinstein is being killed slowly, unlike that other pedophile with the island (name escapes me now, sorry). I’d think that Weinstein’s murderers know they can’t kill him as overtly as they did that other guy, so they’re killing him slowly … much like the Bad Wolves lyrics:

I don’t mind the abuse
It fills in time
When I’m not much use
But it’s killing me, killing me slowly.

But is that because of the factors that make it so much worse over there?
Or maybe the CCP used the virus as an excuse to eliminate “troublemakers”?

What the fuck have you been smoking AC? You state the West is lying to diminish the problem. No. We are getting bombarded constantly by the media, incessantly, creating panic. The media are playing their 8in the agenda to bring in a one world government tyranny. Where I am its wall to wall virus bullshit from ALL media types.

There is an agenda at play. Just like the exercises on 9/11, 7/7, et al, there were simulations of a virus outbreak conducted by Bill Gates (event 201), Soros ( food supply disruption game, which stated food supplies damaged by virus outbreak), Crimson Contagion exercise last year.

We are not all brainless fools AC. The patterns repeat.

I cannot remember where I got this first link, it may have been here, but not sure.
At any rate, after checking and corroborating on my own, here is what I have found.

The post at this link is a bit disjointed but contains a lot of important and verifiable information regarding the role of selenium in inhibiting RNA enveloped virus infection.
https://m.facebook.com/notes/richard-sexton/lipinski-2015-ebola-and-selenium-how-not-to-catch-the-2019-novel-coronavirus-201/10156477705211673/

The main points and other information are summarized below.

First, coronaviruses are RNA enveloped viruses: https://infogalactic.com/info/Coronavirus

Next, the medical paper (Lipinski632014~) concerning RNA enveloped viruses linked in the above Facebook post is technical but _definitely_ worth the read.

It deals with the effects of selenium on Ebola and other RNA enveloped viruses.
The gist is that a certain concentration or more of selenium in the blood interferes with and/or modifies the thiol/disulfide exchange reactions, effectively inhibiting RNA enveloped viruses from entering the host cells.

From the abstract: “It is suggested that this inexpensive and readily available food supplement (selenium) can be an ultimate inhibitor of Ebola and other enveloped viral infections.”

Selenium supplements are not common and most selenium intake comes from diet.
The food with the highest concentration of selenium is “brazil nuts” with around 2000µg per 100g.
RDA for selenium is 55µg and taking more than 400µg per day is not recommended. (Toxicity starts at around 900µm/day.) 400µg of selenium works out to 20g (weight equivalent of 4 US nickels), or around 3 to 5 average sized brazil nuts.
For example, a supplementation program might start with 5 nuts a day for several days to boost initial levels and then move to a maintenance dose of 2-3 nuts a day. Alternately, if someone was already infected and showing symptoms, 10 nuts a day might be considered as an emergency measure.

Here is a map showing the concentrations of water-soluble selenium in Chinese soil:
comment image?fbclid=IwAR2R4c17xqWpMeB1S8sss7YfybrBginyb3tzOnBy9E5YmTjGOSzbey9hTBY
Except for a narrow area on the southeast coast, concentrations are low overall, and especially deficient in the Wuhan area. Other diseases stemming from selenium deficiency have also been reported in those blue (deficient) areas. Links in the Facebook post noted above.

Note that the Chinese soil concentration map is in micrograms (µg) per kilogram, and ranges from less than 1.8 (blue) to 10 or more (red). By contrast, concentrations in the U.S. vary widely from 800µg/kg in the upper midwest to as low as 20µg/kg in other areas, and Japan’s soil exhibits relatively high concentrations ranging from 200µg to 3000µg/kg or more. Not sure about the water-solubility, but this may be one factor behind the lack of coronavirus spread in Japan, which has been a mystery so far. Europe (especially eastern) and the Middle East (Iran) are also somewhat selenium deficient. Italy also tends to have somewhat deficient selenium intake.

Dr. Damien Downing, former editor of the Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine wrote:
“Swine flu, bird flu, and SARS, all developed in selenium-deficient China. When patients were given selenium, viral mutation rates dropped and immunity improved.”

And now we have yet another RNA enveloped virus: the Wuhan Coronavirus.
Selenium “inhibits” entry to host cytoplasm and there is no guarantee of immunity. That said, a web search turns up other corroborating medical papers and research, so IMO it is fairly solid.

Take what you will from this.

I have a friend that works n a south midwestern state. He says they had one patient…and he died. That’s not good. They have all this build up and preparation. They only have one patient so far and they can’t keep him alive???? You know everyone had to be giving this patient everything they could think of and he died anyways. Think what will happen in a few weeks when the halls are full. I’m seriously thinking of not going out at all for three weeks or so. The only thing I don’t have that I wanted was powdered milk and I can’t find any.
