Coronavirus Outbreak

I pay too much attention to the doom porn, but the fundamentals of the economy are horrendous right now. Housing foreclosures might be the least of the problems given how much commercial real estate is going to go tits up.

Not that Lord & Taylor is the only canary in the coal mine, but it's a noteworthy one.

Lord & Taylor stores are usually located in malls. How many other retailers at shopping malls across the country are going to be not paying the property owners? Destiny USA was already in trouble before this whole things started. That's not going to be a pretty picture for the Syracuse region.

The 2008 subprime crisis all over again, except this time they're downgrading AAA bonds along with the junk.

Ahhh...the good old 9th circuit: "Your Constitution means nothing".

What a great sentiment to hold on this day when we honor all those that have died defending those fundemental constitutional rights:

An appeals court has upheld California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ban on in-person church services amid the coronavirus pandemic, in a split ruling that found that government’s emergency powers override what in normal times would be fundamental constitutional rights.

......“constitutional standards that would normally govern our review of a Free Exercise claim should not be applied,” the two judges in the majority wrote in their order.

In the words of Justice Robert Jackson, if a court does not temper its doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom, it will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact,’” they wrote.

Welcome to the world of perpetual crises. Next up: a gun violence "crisis".

[WARFAB]

This is getting ridiculous.

Preliminary evidence from the earliest outbreaks indicated that the virus could spread from person-to-person contact, even if the carrier didn't have symptoms. But WHO officials now say that while asymptomatic spread can occur, it is not the main way it's being transmitted.

"From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Nations agency's Geneva headquarters. "It's very rare."

I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

[big flash]

and today they (WHO) basically back tracked and said it could be up to 40% i saw somewhere. they don't know Peshitta

[WARFAB]

Saw that. They're not exactly the best at public relations and adding a calm steady voice of knowledge.

The same unconstitutional scheme is being used by Governor of Texas.

Rather than directly violate the Constitution himself he tried to get around it by telling the Counties and Cities to penalize businesses who did not establish and enforce a mask requirement.

But this, and all the other dictates, as acknowledged by the Louisiana AG, unconstitutional a not legally enforceable.




But hey, this is the US of A. Nothing has to be legal to be enforced by "law" enforcement. It's a Police State.

So a recap of where we're at almost a year later......

Anthony Fauci stated in a 2012 paper that gain of function experimentation was "worth the risks".

Anthony Fauci would have had to sign off on providing the funding of such studies in Wuhan.

Why. TF. Was the US funding gain of function studies in China....?

Anthony Fauci is also getting caught up in lies and contradictions through multiple FOIA requested communications.

Multiple congressman and senators in the US (no idea about internationally) are calling for punishing China for the outbreak.

If the US was funding the gain of function research in China, and (based on FOIA information) knew about the outbreak early on, is the global community going to pin the blame solely on China?

If Anthony Fauci commits suicide, will it be self inflicted?

The last year has definitely been the most challenging of my life.

[usmcveteran]

So they claim money we sent wasn't for gain of function research and that it was for studying coronavirus in bats or something like that.

Dr fauci should be asked if his opinion had changed since then based on current events.

It's also funny that in the beginning of the pandemic they said china could be responsible. Then Biden takes office and your a nut job if you think china released it from a lab but now Biden asks for report on if china is responsible????

I think it's an actual strategy of our government to try and confuse people long enough that they stop caring and asking questions out of frustration.

I don't think we have to worry about a "suicide" or "accident" yet with fauci unless more damning things come out.

My understanding is that the Biden admin actually closed down the already started investigation into the origins of the outbreak, but then reopened them once the media actually started to consider the Wuhan lab angle. I have no idea if an investigation into the origins had already been started or not considering it appears based on the emails that the investigation would have started with asking Fauci what he knew and what he was funding in Wuhan.

I don't think we have to worry about a "suicide" or "accident" yet with fauci unless more damning things come out.

The emails are revealing some pretty damning looking things.....unless you're CNN. In which case you report the emails show how honest Fauci was and how it was Trump causing the problems. Some of the emails seem to be people telling Fauci that the virus seemed manmade very early on in the outbreak.

[WARFAB]

Fauci emails where he states masks aren't effective against the virus, and he privately advised Obama staffers against wearing them.

We're all done with masks now right.....?

Another thing that doesn't make sense to me is the JJ vaccine had tiny amount of woman get blood clots so they paused giving it to review evidence then they allowed it's use again.

Why aren't they pausing the Pfizer and moderna vaccines for the heart inflammation link newly discovered until they can review that evidence?

Campaign contributions from Pfizer perhaps?

I'm beginning to just accept the fact that there isn't any logical consistency to be found anymore.

I hope I'm wrong but Pfizer was first one granted emergency use then moderna then JJ. JJ had some super minor issues honestly but they wanted to give the appearance of looking out for our safety so they were unfairly targeted and they didn't really need those doses at the time because of a decline in people wanting to get them.

Now that Pfizer is having issues at I think a higher rate then JJ they can't really pause them because it's the popular one, the first approved, and I think the toughest to keep around before it goes bad.

And since in reality the numbers of people affected are low they don't need to do anything like they didn't need to do anything for JJ.
