Coronavirus Pandemic, simply a case of unpreparedness, complacency, politics or something more? You decide.

This site is ever evolving but is meant to chronologically organize dates and related current and recent events and news around the world so that you can form your own independent opinions from relevant multi-sourced news articles and official sites.

For a better perspective, scroll to the very bottom and read up from there ... then come to your own conclusions based on the facts presented. 

Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon and its' relevance in the news ...

In short, Baader-Meinhof phenomenon is a frequency bias. You notice something new, at least it’s new to you. It could be a word, a breed of dog, a particular style of house, or just about anything. Suddenly, you’re aware of that thing all over the place.

In reality, there’s no increase in occurrence. It’s just that you’ve started to notice it ... 

Although it’s usually harmless, Baader-Meinhof phenomenon can cause problems in scientific research. The scientific community is made up of human beings and, as such, they are not immune to frequency bias. When that happens, it’s easier to see evidence confirming the bias while missing evidence against it.

A good example is the data we see in the way of tornadoes and the traditional "Tornado Alley" that spans the plains of North Texas though Oklahoma, Kansas & Nebraska.   Since there is a larger concentration of storm chasers in these areas, especially in Oklahoma due to the Storm Prediction Center and University of Oklahoma Meteorology School there are naturally more confirmed events; whereas, looking closer the most tornadoes occur more South and East in an area referred to as "Dixie Alley".  The minds of most; however, naturally think of the classic "Tornado Alley" area.

Knowing this, the news media can literally take anything and make it a global headline overnight. 

Today it's COVID-19 but what about the many other diseases that kill just as many or more but are seldom discussed ?

Do Lockdowns Save Many Lives? In Most Places, the Data Say No

The speed with which officials shuttered the economy appears not to be a factor in Covid deaths.

CALIFORNIA DOCTORS DEBUNK COVID-19 MEDIA HYSTERIA (FULL VIDEO)

CENSORED BY YOUTUBE

Two doctors, Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi, co-owners of Accelerated Urgent Care, which offers Bakersfield’s only private walk-in COVID-19 testing site, held a press conference on April 22 to report their conclusions about COVID-19 test results. The doctors said that 12% of Californians tested so far have been infected. Extrapolating that to the general population, they estimated that as many as 5 million Californians have likely contracted the virus. They then used the total number of COVID-19 deaths statewide (roughly 1,200, as of last week) to calculate a death rate of just 0.03% — similar to the average death rate from seasonal flu. The doctors live in Bakersfield in Kern County, California.

YouTube censored this video because it contradicted the government-sanctioned position on how to deal with Covid-19.

Birx says government is classifying all deaths of patients with coronavirus as 'COVID-19' deaths, regardless of cause

The federal government is classifying the deaths of patients infected with the coronavirus as COVID-19 deaths, regardless of any underlying health issues that could have contributed to the loss of someone's life.

Dr. Deborah Birx, the response coordinator for the White House coronavirus task force, said the federal government is continuing to count the suspected COVID-19 deaths, despite other nations doing the opposite.

A number of states appear to have already experienced an ILI and made it through to a more stable ILI footing for this time of year

The US Military participated in the 2019 Military World Games in Wuhan, China between October 18 and October 27 of 2019. Their chartered flights arrive and depart from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Washington is one of the earliest states to show a spike in ILI, corresponding with the incubation period should the virus have been introduced as the military traveled through Washington to other destinations.

Quarantine Lessons and Economic Risks Learned in China back in 2009

Was Mandatory Quarantine Necessary in China for Controlling the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic?

The Chinese government enforced mandatory quarantine for 60 days (from 10 May to 8 July 2009) as a preventative strategy to control the spread of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. Such a prevention strategy was stricter than other non-pharmaceutical interventions that were carried out in many other countries.  The study found that after the quarantine, the pool of susceptible population remained and in the long run the quarantine did not actually reduce the pandemic size. Ultimately, the direct cost and economic impact of a mandatory quarantine was more costly than the cost of a scenario without a mandatory quarantine ...

New research suggests industrial livestock, not wet markets, might be origin of Covid-19


There is a growing body of evidence that points to a different origin story for Covid-19. We now know that none of the animals tested at the Wuhan seafood market tested positive and about a third of the initial set of reported cases in people in Wuhan from early December 2019 had no connection to the seafood market, including the first reported case. And we also now know, thanks to the leak of an official Chinese report to the South China Morning Post that the actual first known case of Covid-19 in Hubei was detected in mid-November, weeks before the cluster of cases connected to the Wuhan seafood market were reported. Many of the animals on this list are industrially farmed in China, even wild animals like civets and pangolins are intensively farmed for their use in Chinese medicines. Suspicions that wild animal farms may have been behind the Covid-19 outbreak have already led the Chinese government to shut down 20,000 wild animal farms across the country. But hardly any attention has been given to some other animals on this list, which more clearly meet the “high population density” criteria. Pigs would be one obvious candidate from this list, for several reasons. For one, pigs and humans have very similar immune systems, making it easy for viruses to cross between the two species, as happened with the Nipah virus outbreak in Malaysia in 1998. Indeed, just three years before the Covid-19 outbreak began, tens of thousands of pigs in four factory farms in Qingyuan county in Guangdong, less than 100 km from the site where the SARS outbreak originated in 2003, died from an outbreak of a new, lethal coronavirus strain (SADS) that turned out to be 98 percent identical to a coronavirus found in horseshoe bats in a nearby cave. Luckily transmission to humans did not occur, but subsequent laboratory tests demonstrated that such transmission could have been possible.

Beijing Fears COVID-19 Is Turning Point for China, Globalization

While the world fights the coronavirus pandemic, China is fighting a propaganda war. Beijing’s war aim is simple: shift away from China all blame for the outbreak, the botched initial response, and its early spread into the broader world. At stake is China’s global reputation, as well as the potential of a fundamental shift away from China for trade and manufacturing. Also at risk is the personal legacy of General Secretary Xi Jinping, who has staked his legitimacy on his technocratic competence. After dealing with the first great global crisis of the 21st century, the world must fundamentally rethink its dependence on China ...

Why Coronavirus May Be the Biggest Threat Yet to Donald Trump's Re-Election

Sharp drops in the stock market, school and office closures, crashing oil prices and widespread disruptions to other major industries have some Trump supporters concerned that the virus is triggering a new financial crisis that could hurt Trump’s bid for a second term more than any political test he’s faced so far.

After the housing bubble precipitated an economic meltdown in 2008, voters turned from incumbent Republicans to opposition Democrats in that fall’s election, voting Barack Obama into the White House and sending Democratic majorities to both the House and the Senate.

Event 201 in New York City

The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY.

The Event 201 Scenario

Event 201 simulates an outbreak of a novel coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to humans. Although at first some countries are able to control it, it continues to spread and be reintroduced, and eventually no country can maintain control. There is no possibility of a vaccine being available in the first year. There is a fictional antiviral drug that can help the sick but not significantly limit spread of the disease. Since the whole human population is susceptible, during the initial months of the pandemic, the cumulative number of cases increases exponentially, doubling every week. And as the cases and deaths accumulate, the economic and societal consequences become increasingly severe. The scenario ends at the 18-month point, with 65 million deaths. The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the decreasing number of susceptible people. The pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90 % of the global population has been exposed. 

Statement on the Event 201 Website

In October 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security hosted a pandemic tabletop exercise called Event 201 with partners, the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Recently, the Center for Health Security has received questions about whether that pandemic exercise predicted the current novel coronavirus outbreak in China. To be clear, the Center for Health Security and partners did not make a prediction during our tabletop exercise. For the scenario, we modeled a fictional coronavirus pandemic, but we explicitly stated that it was not a prediction. Instead, the exercise served to highlight preparedness and response challenges that would likely arise in a very severe pandemic. We are not now predicting that the nCoV-2019 outbreak will kill 65 million people. Although our tabletop exercise included a mock novel coronavirus, the inputs we used for modeling the potential impact of that fictional virus are not similar to nCoV-2019.

 Nancy Pelosi Owes Her Job to Michael Bloomberg

2018 Mid Term Elections


The House flipped to a Democratic Party majority in 2018 because Michael Bloomberg spent more than $112 million on a self-defined project to do exactly that, in preparation for his 2020 Presidential bid. As a result, Nancy Pelosi became Speaker of the House.

According to the New York Times, Democrats won 21 of the 24 races that Bloomberg had targeted, including 12 that were considered toss-ups. He did so by setting up a political action committee (PAC), the Independence USA PAC, which then ran polling operations in targeted districts, produced a ton of digital advertising, and then massively bought television ad time. Late in the campaign, that PAC bought ads produced by production companies that he paid. This independent expenditure campaign made Bloomberg the largest Democratic donor in 2018, dwarfing both George Soros and Tom Steyer, both of whom had also spent heavily in the 2018 election. For each of the races Bloomberg targeted, he spent $1-$3 million in independent expenditure ad buys.
