Koko78 Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 I fail to see how pictures of an empty parking lot or service road is meaningful, without seeing what is (or isn't) happening inside the buildings. 2 1
Foxx Posted March 30, 2020 Author Posted March 30, 2020 i certainly don't proclaim to know exactly what is happening but i do know that #filmyourhospital is trending on Twitter. also, a 'war zone' would seem to imply chaos all around and if the main stream propagandists are to be believed, that war zone should be apparent on the streets outside of hospitals one would think. without meta data from the videos, there is no real way to know when they are filmed outside of possibly having a daily paper or some such in said videos for reference. which if they want a bit more credence, they would have some way to verify when they were taken. here is one inside the ER of King Couty hospital. https://twitter.com/DilleyShow/status/1243927903349293058 a respiratory ward? https://twitter.com/DigiByteMike/status/1244404922382274563 1
Chandemonium Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 It’s not that surprising that the outside of hospitals would appear less busy considering a lot of them are not allowing visitors and most if not all elective or non urgent surgeries have been postponed or cancelled. There’s probably people who normally would visit the ER every time they get a headache who are staying away out of fear too. 1
keepthefaith Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) At our local hospital in a 150K population community we had 16 patients admitted that have Covid-19 as of Saturday. According a nurse neighbor who is a head of staff there, most of these people are not sick enough to be admitted to the hospital but for very cautionary reasons they are doing so. 7 deaths in our county of about 1 million people.

Italy Risks Losing Grip in South With Fear of Looting, Riots As Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte fights to hold Italian society together through a crippling nationwide lockdown, the depressed south is turning into a powder keg. Police have been deployed on the streets of Sicily’s capital, Palermo, amid reports gangs are using social media to plot attacks on stores. A bankrupt ferry company halted service to the island, including vital supplies of food and medicines. As the state creaks under the strain of the coronavirus pandemic, officials worry the mafia may be preparing to step in. Preventing unrest in the so-called Mezzogiorno, the underdeveloped southern region that’s long lagged behind the wealthy north, has become the government’s top priority, according to Italian officials who asked not to be named discussing the administration’s strategy. With the European Union’s most dangerously indebted state already fighting the Germans over the terms of the financial aid it needs, the fallout may reach far beyond Rome if Conte fails. ... 1

Tiberius Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 https://www.theguardian.com/global/video/2020/apr/02/trump-holds-war-on-drugs-press-conference-amid-coronavirus-pandemic-video In an unusual start to the White House daily coronavirus briefing, US president Donald Trump announced a new focus on drug cartels. Trump was joined by attorney general, William Barr, the secretary of defense, Mark Esper and top military officials who did not seem concerned with social distancing. The president announced the sending of navy ships toward Venezuela as the US intensifies counter-narcotics operations. Trump touted a link between drug trafficking and the coronavirus: ‘As governments and nations focus on the coronavirus, there is a growing threat that cartels, criminals, terrorists and other malign actors will try to exploit the situation for their own gain. We must not let that happen.’ It comes a day after Trump said that up to 240,000 Americans could die from the coronavirus pandemic

Because he supports people who are funded by those cartels, and those people want their supply lines (of more than drugs) to remain open in times like this. And, because Tibs is just a vessel for other people's talking points, he's gleefully supporting cartels and traffickers per his masters' instructions. 1

Foxx Posted April 4, 2020 Author Posted April 4, 2020 DARPA is asking universities for access to their tunnels ASAP, and it's because the US military thinks its next war will go underground The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) issued a peculiar request over Twitter on Wednesday, asking for underground tunnels to use for research — as soon as possible. Though DARPA's request managed to spook Twitter users, DARPA told Insider that the request is related to technology development for underground combat and search-and rescue operations. While President Donald Trump looks to create a Space Force — an entirely new military branch — the Pentagon itself has put more than half a billion dollars into technology and training to compete on underground battlefields. ... 1
Foxx Posted April 4, 2020 Author Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) i always thought that, in historical lore, comets portended death and destruction. is the comet late or is the virus early? Comet ATLAS may soon be visible to the naked eye Like watching the final chapter of a show or movie series, you’re almost trembling with excitement — but you don’t know whether you’ll have the experience of a lifetime, suffer a grand disappointment, or end up with something that’s just OK. Right now, odds are that Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) will be wonderful. Just maybe it will be the most amazing thing you will ever see — a great comet for the history books. Here’s what we might be able to expect. ... ... Y4 was discovered on December 29, 2019, by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) search program, one of the several automated sky surveys looking for potential Earth-crossing asteroids. Discovering comets is essentially a byproduct of this endeavor. At the time, C/2019 Y4 was a feeble magnitude 19.6 and located at nearly 3 astronomical units from the Sun — almost twice as far from our star as Mars. (One astronomical unit, or AU, is the average Earth-Sun distance.) In mid-March, Y4 ATLAS surged 4 magnitudes, fueling rumors that it will just keep getting brighter, peaking at magnitude –8. ... ...The Northern Hemisphere has great seats from now right up until the comet reaches perihelion on May 31, when ATLAS makes its closest approach to the Sun and performs a sharp turn around our star. Observers from 40 to 60 degrees north latitude are close to the stage, with those from 50 to 55 degrees north getting front-row seats. Equatorial and southern locations get one decent week starting May 28, but then Y4 stays low and fades quickly into the distance, like an object viewed out the back window of a fast-moving car. By mid- to late April, which includes the New Moon on April 22, ATLAS is already large and diffuse for its distance. Note that reported magnitudes are integrated, which essentially crunches all its light into a point, rather than spreading it out between the coma and tails. Magnitude 2 is easy for the unaided eye, but from the city a big halo will be invisible through the light pollution. Streaking halfway between Polaris and brilliant Capella, Y4 might resemble a lopsided Andromeda Galaxy. By mid-May, ATLAS is second in brightness only to Venus! During the deep blue of nautical twilight, it is only 15° high, dropping lower as the calendar ticks onward. Avoid observing from locations just south of a city — there’s no point looking through a light dome. Instead, an open field to the north lets you observe as long as possible. ...
