coronavirus/Spanish Flu

Exclusive: Public health epidemiologist says other countries should consider adopting China-style containment measures
Coronavirus – latest updates -- The Guardian
Spanish Flu 1918
Am I the only one sitting here wondering when -- if ever -- anyone is going to mention the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 -- an outbreak that by some estimates took a third of the world's population despite widespread efforts to keep its ravages under wraps?
The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide—about one-third of the planet's population—and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims, including some 675,000 Americans.

From where I sit, the current coronavirus sprang (as from Zeus' head) up in the midst of the impeachment of the U.S. president, a mishmash of presidential primary kerfuffle, a question which lies Donald Trump will wholesale today .... where did the coronavirus come from all bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed?

It seemed to come to light out of China (which isn't usually a bright lamp of transparency) where the rulers had to concede that last weekend's Chinese New Year travels (usually enormous) had been stymied, streets were emptied and everyone seemed to be wearing a mask.

  1. Dufus Trump and Xi Jinping Head are trying to NOT create panic.
    So far China is refusing US researchers' help.

    But thanks for the heads up on how bad things can get.

    I've hear that NYC''s Chinese Restaurants are claiming business is way off. Particularly bad because normally there's a big boost for Chinese New Years. So bad the NYC mayor held a dinner / press conference in a large banquet style Chinese Restaurant.

  2. Look at the way my partner Wesley Virgin's adventure starts in this shocking and controversial video.

    You see, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he revealed hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to obtain anything they want.

    These are the same methods many celebrities (especially those who "come out of nothing") and top business people used to become rich and successful.

    You've heard that you only use 10% of your brain.

    That's because most of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe that expression has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about 7 years ago, while driving a non-registered, beat-up bucket of a vehicle without a license and $3.20 in his pocket.

    "I'm absolutely frustrated with living payroll to payroll! When will I finally succeed?"

    You took part in those types of conversations, ain't it right?

    Your success story is waiting to happen. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.

    WATCH WESLEY SPEAK NOW
