Nice.
I’ll pass that on to mr. mm. He’s got the account.
The President is calling up the reserves—over a “rounding error”, no less... ;-)
From your other post:
I noticed both Zinc Picolinate and Monolaurin began to be sold out over a week ago. I think some others have recognized these agents as useful too.
This is true. Found zinc sulfate at the local independent grocer's pharmacy. Everywhere else is practically sold out. I've taken zinc picolinate along with copper for sometime now - but just happened to run out of zinc, and what a time to do so.
authorization to call up reserves is a big step.
it tells further nationalization.

COVID-19: The “Experts” Have No Crystal Ball
...Skepticism is the proper tool to use with any holder of
any crystal ball. That is true, regardless of the complexity
of the algorithm that they claim shows irrefutable proof of
what the future will bring one day from now, one year from
now, or one century from now.
The future is unknown to us and investing all of a society’s
options in one path is detrimental to a successful outcome.
One way that free societies have long prospered is by
allowing individuals to produce many varying paths, some of
which work, some of which fail. That is the risk mitigation
method of freedom and individual choice. A single, unified
path that no one may oppose removes a great deal of risk
mitigation and forces many to make a single bet on a single
path. That is a truly foolish idea given the fact that no
one has a crystal ball.
To believe in the utility of central planning you must be
able to fall for the idea that someone somewhere has a
crystal ball. Individual freedom is not only moral, it
provides utility and risk mitigation in moments of crisis,
precisely like the one we now face.
American federalism provides for fifty experiments.
Individual freedom in America provides for 330 million
experiments. Some win, some lose. That’s life.
Authoritarianism that drags everyone down a common path
merely ensures that all will eventually lose...

Is that how they have been treating you on the Flu Bro threads ? My rule of thumb is the less people like that know, the less dangerous they are. Ignore them. We have a War President and we are at War.
Their numbers are all over the place. Half the UK is infected. Wait. Only 20,000 due to social distancing. Well at least they now recognize the benifit of social distancing. Took 4 weeks to get them to give up it’s not a pandemic line.

The US’s COVID-19 Death Rate Is Far Below the Rates in Italy and Spain
https://mises.org/wire/uss-covid-19-death-rate-far-below-rates-italy-and-spain
...We frequently encounter a problem similar to this with
COVID-19 reporting. News stories frequently focus on
COVID-19 cases rather than death rates in their reporting.
Consider this Reuters headline today: “United States could
become coronavirus epicenter: WHO”
The casual readers who skims headlines is likely to take
away from this the idea that the United States is following
the same trajectory as countries like Spain and Italy when
it comes to the COVID-19 outbreak. We have heard that death
rates in Italy are alarming in much of Western Europe, and
some have claimed the US will soon experience the same fate
as Italy. While it is true the United States will soon pass
up Italy in terms of total cases, the US is far, far below
Italy in terms of its COVID-19 death rate, even if we
account for the differences in the timeline.
To see these sizable differences, let’s measure COVID-19
deaths the same way we measure homicides: in terms of deaths
per 100,000 population: ...
See link for much more if interested. Charts compare after
(It looks like we’re still 0.2 to 0.24 in the US, versus 9.4
deaths per 100K population in Italy, even accounting for
timeline differences.)
I will add those charts to my next post, though.
Why not 94 % hoax ?
Well said. sir

Hubei Residents Riot After Quarantine Lifted; Police Beaten With Their Own Shield, Cop Cars Overturned
03/27/2020 - 16:15
Residents of Hubei province in China teamed up with their local police force to battle the police from neighboring Jiangxi province - who set up a roadblock on the Yangtze River Bridge to prevent the people of Hubei from crossing and returning to work.
Footage of Hubei residents overturning Jingxi police vehicles was captured and uploaded to Chinese social media - where Chinese authorities have reportedly already scrubbed it.

There are MASSIVE protests developing right now on the Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge that joins the Hubei and Jiangxi provinces in Eastern China.
The situation is rapidly evolving.
These videos have already been removed from WeChat and Weibo, presumably by the #CCP.
The actual UK numbers are not that difficult to figure out...
Chris Martenson walked us through them in yesterday’s video:
