Coronavirus Pandemic: Apocalypse Now! Or exaggerated scare story?

Sorry to hear that your nephew's father in law is ill goyacobol. It's not really relevant what strain of flu-like illness he has, any of dozens of viruses of that type would likely cause similar symptoms, and in any other year, you likely would not even mention it here.
As for having an idea of how it is going to develop, I think we do. This virus is, as has repeatedly been said, is little different than "the flu", which mutates every year but doesn't change much in terms of its effects. As such, this virus is likely to follow a similar infection and mortality rate and persistence, as "the flu".
Exactly. I usually link articles on SOTT back to their original source. Yesterday I couldn't get the original source to load so I linked it directly to SOTT and got the response that SOTT is not a credible site, plus the conspiracy theorists comment. When I told her the articles were gathered from sources all over the globe, and to just read some with an open mind, the response was "no thanks, I won't read anything from "fringey" sites. She said she preferred her news from the mainstream media, CDC, and WHO.
Every article I post from ANYWHERE is met with the "that is not a credible website." I guess that is the equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears and going "la-la-la I can't hear you."
Listening to the radio. One after another authoritarian followers coming on saying. If people just follow the rules the government have in place this will be over quicker and we can all go back to normal we have been staying in why do people think they can do what they like, they say they will ring the guards if they See people out, we don't go out so why should others is what the trust your government folk are saying. Very hard to listen to this crap. As my elderly client said "It's like the penal laws back in the day, we will have to fight for our freedom again".

Having always viewed social media as anathema, it was only VERY reluctantly that I finally dipped my toe into FB a year or so ago (having blissfully ignored a decade of peer pressure) as a token networking gesture...
Still bemused by the phenomenon of receiving friend requests from people I vaguely remember, never socialised with or even particularly liked. I do however attempt to share rare points of interest that could lead some to investigate non-mainstream subject matter if they happen to be that way inclined?
That being said, after a lifetime of positive feedback regarding my apparently uncommon free thinking, open minded, unbiased tendencies. I must say I was rather (very) surprised to have recently been branded a ‘Flat Earther’ by a young (early 30’s) friend and previous workmate of almost a decade after simply re-posting the cover of the latest edition of ‘The Economist’

One thing I've noticed recently is how many governments, especially those in the middle east, have released thousands of prisoners. I wonder how this will contribute to future chaos?

It looks like Trump is putting a dent in WHO's funding ...
WHO denies being 'China-centric' after Trump comment
World Health Organization officials on Wednesday denied that the body was "China-centric" and said that the acute phase of a pandemic was not the time to cut funding, after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would put contributions on hold.
Here's The Military's Plan To Provide More Than Just Body Bags As COVID-19 Deaths Mount
The U.S. Department of Defense is working to provide up 100,000 body bags to the Federal Emergency Management Agency as part of the whole-of-government response efforts to the COVID-19 pandemic.
U.S. officials have warned that the novel coronavirus could kill as many as 240,000 Americans even with various mitigation strategies in place. If that comes to pass, the U.S. military may find itself called upon to perform a host of other so-called mortuary affairs tasks and related activities.
Bloomberg was first to report on the impending transfer of the body bags, which the U.S. military technically refers to as human remains pouches, to FEMA on Apr. 1, 2020. The Pentagon has now confirmed this and says it is looking at various sources to meet the request for 100,000 bags, including sending some immediately from the Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA) own stockpile of 50,000 pouches.
[...] FEMA is already sending 85 refrigerated trailers to New York City to serve as temporary morgues. That city has become a major epicenter of COVID-19 cases in the United States. As of April 1, the city reported having 45,000 confirmed cases and that more than 1,300 people there had died.

I wouldn't know where to look for the details now aragorn with so much info here but I read somewhere that the Gates Foundation and various other foundations basically kept the WHO afloat with their millions. Don't know how much the US contributes.
Sorry didn't finish that sentence. Meant to say Don't know how much US contributes in comparison to Gates, etc and if I would have any real impact. Maybe just more good cop, bad cop.
I feel you, but now my point of view on this is that if at least one of our friends or relatives start paying attention to SOTT and start making critical thinking because of a certain article we shared or published then you could say that your mission is already accomplish! at least that is how I see it now, you can't 'wake' everybody because that is impossible, but I would be so good if you get to make at least one person to think and make them discover things for themselves. (of course would be awesome if you accomplish that to many people as well)

An update about Atlas comet, which, according some articles I read this morning, is fading, breaking up and maybe disintegrating. They don't mention what possible repercussions this could have on our planet (electromagnetic field, etc.), maybe negligibles consequences... but felt to share it

5G coronavirus conspiracists BURNING phone masts amid bizarre claim 'radiation' sparked killer bug

Nice title on this article. Seems like the foolish herd just can't stay in line. 5G arsons have begun:
"CONSPIRACY nuts are reportedly setting phone masts alight and targeting engineers after a bizarre claim 5G "radiation" caused the deadly coronavirus spread.
The theory originated last month after a video filmed at a US health conference claimed Africa was not as affected by the disease because it is "not a 5G region"."
I think so too that reality is having many "glitches". I had a similar "hat moment" about 3 weeks back and I just kept thinking about Ark's cap. I had a favourite "birdwatching" hat, that was about 10 years old, cotton, wide brimmed and frayed at the edges. It was my absolute favourite and i wore it everywhere birdwatching; in every habitat and environment i was in. It was my lucky hat - and i always kept it in a particular spot at home. One morning we woke up, and my wife was adamant that small things on the dining table had moved overnight. I wasn't sure about the stuff at the dining table - but later that evening when i went to get my hat, it was just simply not there. We looked high and low and couldn't find it. I definitely didnt misplace it - and i sure hope i find it at some point. Apologies for being a bit off topic, and just wanted to share my hat story.

Could be that the UN has something to do with that:
'The U.N. is calling for countries to reduce the number of people in detention, saying that "physical distancing and self-isolation in such conditions are practically impossible."
'Countries must protect people in detention from the COVID-19 pandemic by releasing vulnerable prisoners, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said Wednesday.'
"Covid-19 has begun to strike prisons, jails and immigration detention centres, as well as residential care homes and psychiatric hospitals, and risks rampaging through such institutions' extremely vulnerable populations," Bachelet said in a statement.
U.N. Calls For Countries To Reduce Prison Populations
The U.N. human rights chief says authorities should look for ways to release people in detention who are especially vulnerable to the disease, such as those who are elderly or who have health issues.

UN urges prisoner releases to stem spread of coronavirus

Political prisoners should be among first released in pandemic response, says UN rights chief
The decision by many Governments to release prisoners to slow the transmission of new coronavirus, was welcomed on Friday by the UN’s top rights official, Michelle Bachelet.
I think this will only contribute to more chaos...

This most recent two and a half hour interview with David Icke addresses allot of the issues pertaining to this ‘pandemic’. He puts forward a very compelling case, much of it in agreement with what we’re talking about here and what the what the C’s have said. It was banned on Youtube as well. The last 20mins is especially good if you’re short on time.
