Health authorities in China are reporting no new infections in the central city of Wuhan where the COVID-19 epidemic first emerged, but local residents said they fear there could be a resurgence of new cases amid an ongoing official cover-up. "No new infections of the novel coronavirus were reported on Wednesday in Wuhan, the epicenter of the epidemic, marking a notable first in the city's months long battle with the virus and sending a message of hope to a world grappling with the pandemic," China Radio International reported on its website.

An official working for Vice President Pence has tested positive for the coronavirus, his office announced Friday, becoming the first known positive test to date for a White House staffer. "‪This evening we were notified that a member of the Office of the Vice President tested positive for the Coronavirus," Pence's press secretary, Katie Miller, said in a statement. The positive test reflects the degree to which the virus is spreading across the country, including to those in proximity to the country's leaders. The news comes days after two congressmen tested positive for the virus

I have all of the ingredients to make my own hand sanitizer using alcohol, aloe vera and hydrogen peroxide. Every recipe I have read calls for putting the ingredients in a bowl or large measuring cup, adding the ingredients, stirring then pouring into a container for use or storage. I would imagine that by using this method there is always going to be a certain amount left in the mixing container. So my idea is to pour the ingredients into my storage bottle, putting the cap on, giving it a good shake to mix things up then leaving it for...

In an interview conducted on September 15, 2009, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, provided an update of 2009 H1N1 influenza.

Within a week, countries around the world have gone from: “This coronavirus thing is not a big deal” to declaring the state of emergency. Yet many countries are still not doing much. Why? Every country is asking the same question: How should we respond? The answer is not obvious to them. Some countries, like France, Spain or Philippines, have since ordered heavy lockdowns. Others, like the US, UK, Switzerland or Netherlands, have dragged their feet, hesitantly venturing into social distancing measures. Here’s what we’re going to cover today, again with lots of charts, data and models with plenty of sources:...

Coronavirus mortality rate is twice as high among men in Italy as it is among women, marking a "concerning trend," Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House's coronavirus task force coordinator said during a Friday briefing. "Mortality in males seems to be [twice higher than] every age group of females," Birx said, adding that no age group or gender is immune, and that mild symptoms are not equivalent to immunity.

A cover-up and clampdown by the Chinese government in the early weeks of the coronavirus's emergence is raising questions over whether the communist superpower can be held legally accountable. "Generally countries like China have sovereign immunity and governments cannot be brought to regular courts or held liable regardless of their conduct," Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, an Israel-based attorney who has long specialized in suing terrorist regimes and state sponsors who orchestrate human rights abuses on behalf of victims, told Fox News. "However, an argument could be made that just like support for terrorism, which is legally actionable, a government that engages in...

Very interesting into to Black Ops.

A blubbery beau flashes its massive tusk — actually an extension of a tooth — to fight off other males and ultimately impress potential mates, according to Graham and other researchers at Arizona State University’s School of life Sciences. The Scientists came to the, well, horny conclusion after they analyzed 35 years of tusk data from 245 adult male narwhals. They say when it comes to mating frequently, big horns are “one of the most charismatic structures in biology,” according to the study. “The narwhal tusk is a sexually selected signal that is used during male-male tusking contests,” Graham said.

I knew there was something sketchy about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Within the WikiLeaks HRC email files there’s a letter from Fauci to Hillary Clinton through her aid/lawyer Cheryl Mills: “Please tell her that we all love her and are very proud to know her.” LOOK:

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man , They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall...

Explains the struggle to be a trucker especially during Coronavirus shut-down

LAKEWOOD, N.J. (CBS) — Police in Ocean County have arrested a homeowner for hosting a pop-up wedding with more than 50 people in attendance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier in the week, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy banned gatherings of 50 or more people in an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus. Lakewood police have charged 49-year-old Eliyohu Zaks with maintaining a nuisance for hosting the wedding at a home on Spruce Street. “The Lakewood Police is asking that its citizens be responsible and obey the directives set forth by the State of New Jersey for the safety and...

This is the sordid aftermath of the raucous drugs and booze party at a Florida hotel that left a male escort hospitalized and sent high-flying Democrat Andrew Gillum into rehab. Plastic baggies of suspected crystal meth, empty beer bottles and prescription pills are seen scattered among trash and soiled bedding in the shocking images obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com. Gillum, a married dad-of-three who narrowly missed out on becoming Florida's first black governor, was too 'inebriated' to tell cops what went down when they arrived at Miami's Mondrian Hotel early last Friday.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is the latest regional agency to ask federal officials for a bail out, citing coronavirus related travel losses at all its facilities. The request for $1.9 billion was made in a letter to members of the New Jersey and New York congressional delegation Friday, citing a drop in traffic volume or ridership at all of its facilities as the reason. The coronavirus related fall off comes after the authority reported record volumes of traffic the its six bridges and tunnels, four airports, PATH rail system and cargo ports in 2019.

You know the rules. Only flubros and flubras. “Oh-no” FReepers (AKA Fearpers) are banned. Freeper Preppers who fear the virus’ impact on the world are also not permitted but Freeper Preppers who fear the panic and government intervention and toilet paper shortages are permitted in the thread. This government/media panic destroys our economy and kills more than the Coronavirus, which is barely worse than a bad flu. I know there is trouble when one of those 4 Democrat witches (I get them mixed up and can’t remember which) said she supported Trump.
