I have been sending out regular emails to family and friends with the latest news on the virus.

Some of my kids are listening and prepping. However, no one has quit their job or done anything drastic.

BTW, I prepped my household, farm, and my manufacturing company for the pandemic.

All of my employees are wearing masks, gloves, and goggles at all times as well as not eating in the Break Room. Incoming mail and paperwork is baked and sterilized. Doorknobs and toilets sterilized often.

We ordered extra chemicals to last one year so that we can handle any surge of orders from US companies that are desperate for replacement parts. The chemicals are for coatings on metal such as electroplating, phosphates, etc. I expect supply disruptions as China fails to deliver such supplies.

We already have RFQs (Request for Quote) from panicked buyers who cannot get their parts from China. The surge may be temporary, or it could last for years.

Even if the general economy goes into Great Depression II, the refineries, chem plants, farms, transportation, medical, etc. MUST have replacement parts to function. We serve a wide variety of customers and industries.

BTW, we are going to keep the bank accounts at a minimum in case the banks have a "holiday" or close. Don't want to lose too much. Also, we have used the excess to prep with supplies.

After Hurricane Harvey, the banks and the Post Office closed for a week! That was a disaster that did not need to happen. Compounded the other problems.


I always enjoy your posts, Darth. They are intelligent, well balanced, and compassionate. Kudos on being an excellent human being...

Now that is some doomy financial news indeed.

Which means that they do not think they can disinfect even metallic produce to a safe level. Holy cow.

Hmmmmm ..........

Coronavirus realtime counter

Nobody want to talk about the new numbers?

Tasting like less meat and more bread every day.

There is some actual potential sh*t going down in Omaha, Nebraska. 13 of the 14 supposed positive cases that got on the planes from the Diamond Princess in Japan are now in Omaha. A decision was made between 2-3 am Monday morning to fly them here from the two planes that were headed to Lackland in TX and Travis AFB in CA. They were supposedly “isolated” in the back of the plane while traveling since they had tested positive prior to boarding. Come to find out, TWO planes landed at Eppley Airfield in Omaha with 13 people who “may or may not have” coronavirus and were transported to University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) for further testing and evaluation. One was taken to the Biohazard 4 unit for “mild symptoms including dizziness and a mild cough.” They were NOT taken to Camp Ashland in Ashland,NE (about 30 miles from downtown Omaha). There are currently 57 Wuhan evacuees at Camp Ashland that arrived about 12 days ago and miraculously none have the virus and will be released this coming Thursday the 20th. I have sooo many questions!! Why fly the 14 supposedly infected on 2 separate planes???!?? That’s just one. And how the news in Nebraska spins it all of course—not even mentioning that they had tested positive in Japan prior to boarding the planes and coming here. I will try a link again:

Florida Man.... Dead

You mean the fake ones?

They are using places like right here at GLP to get info on the Wuhuflu. That's how on freaking point GLP has been on this. The newest information available anywhere hits here in seconds all day, 24 hours around the clock and they know it: [link to www.boston25news.com (secure)]

Does it specfically mention GLP by name? No... it doesn't have to.

really hmmmmm

Diamond Princess is COVID-19 mill:


Diamond Princess has completely inadequate infection control, and there is no professional ID person in charge. Passengeres, crews, health care professionals working inside are at risk of infection, and the practice is even worse than what I saw in Africa. Immediate action is needed to save people inside.

Summary:
Hello my name is professor Kentaro Iwata I am a specialist of infectious diseases at Kobe University Hospital, Kobe Japan.

Today I entered into the cruise ship Diamond Princess which is bombarded by a-lot of COVID 19 infection right now and I was removed from the ship on the same day and I'm going to talk to you why this happened.

I was very concerned of the number of the people who got infected with COVID 19 disease infections. Then I was wondering why this is happening, I wanted to enter into the cruise ship and wanted to be useful in helping to containing infection there I spoke with several people and finally the one officer at working for Ministry of Health and Labor called me yesterday saying that well you can come and enter into a cruise ship and do the infection control work and I said fine, then I prepared my stuff and I did all the paperwork's and arrangement and they got in onto the Shinkansen? from Kobe to Yokohama all the way to go to Yokohama

I got another call from the same officer say that somebody didn't like me so do you can't get into the cruise ship. He was not able to say who and he was not able to say why but certainly some power over him affected his decision and I was blocked from entering into the ship then after several discussions he found another way that if you could come as a DMAT team member you can come in at into the cruise ship. DMAT is the disaster management medical team in Japan and usually deals with disaster not infectious diseases but because of the lack of the people who could help people inside a cruise ship to get out of the ship or the managing of people and the swan song DMAT was requested to enter in the cruise ship because my specialty is not a disaster management

So I was not very happy about that, but because we have no other way I said fine I'll do that. Additionally I got another call that some people didn't like me getting into the cruise ship present even as a DMAT member. Another discussion happened then the I waited about our one hour in shin-yokohama sessions and finally the officer find a way that if you work for DMAT not as an infection prevention specialist, but as the ordinary routine Diamond officer working under wounded team at doctor doing a routine job then you could come into the cruise ship.

I was not very happy with that decision but because there's no other way so I said finding out get into the ship I entered the ship then I found the chief officer of the DMAT and spoke with him I said well I was assigned to the DMAT members or the out whatever you want to say they hes well you don't have to work team DMAT work because that's not your specialty and you are an infection prevention specialist so why don't you do the infection control then I said fine

I spoke with the superior of him who is in charge of the DMAT operations and he also said that you are infection control person so you should do infection control I said fine but he said well you shouldn't be here as a DMAT member you should come as the along to infection control specialist he was not very happy about while I was inside a DMAT but because that was not my decision there was no other way so he I said well I have to do it

I looked into the several places inside the ship and the turned out that the cruise ship was completely inadequate in terms of the infection control there was no distinction between the Green Zone which is the free of infection and the Red Zone which is potentially contaminated by virus.

So the people could come and go wearing a PPE of PPE crews were just walking around and the officers of ministry the health and the labor was walking around, DMAT people are walking around, psychiatrists are walking around, and people were eating in one place, people were wearing PPE and off PPE and eating lunch with their gloves on and just dealing with the smart phone with full PPE so it was completely chaotic and some crews had a fever they went to the medical center while wearing and N95 masks but he didn't have any protection between his room and a medical room and the medical officer was not protecting herself and that she was very happy saying that well she was already infected I'm sure about that, so the she was completely giving up protecting herself anyways

I dealt with a lots of infections more than twenty years and I was in Africa dealing with the Ebola outbreak, I was in another country is dealing with the cholera outbreak I was in China in 2003 to deal with the SARS, and I saw many febrile patient there. I never had fear of getting infection myself, for Ebola, SARS, cholera because I know how to protect myself and how to protect others and how the infection control should be.

So I could do the adequate infection control protect myself and protect others. but inside Princess Diamond I was so scared, I was so scared of getting COVID-19 because there was no way to tell where the virus is. No green zone no red zone everywhere could have Virus and everybody was not careful about it. There was no single professional infection control person inside the ship and that there was nobody in charge of infection prevention as a professional.

The bureaucrats were in charge of everything and I spoke with the head officer of the Ministry of Health on labor and he was very unhappy with my suggestion of protecting DMAT people and other staffs so that no other secondary transmission to occur then after several hours of talking to people and finding problems I found a lot of issues there for example informed consent of getting a PCR from the people in the ship was on a paper and that paper was going back and forth back and forth with the room of the infection from the paper by touching there.

So I suggested that maybe it's better to abandon the paper type informed consent but resolutely getting the informed consent probably would be more protective so on so on so yeah I, I think I was reasonable, and I never yell at anybody, and I never criticize anybody personally, but I was trying to be constructive but we try to seek the constructive but immediate improvement to protect everybody inside the ship

Then about five o'clock the person from the quarantine office came in and approached said well you have to be out because you will not be allowed to inside of ship because I was inside ship as the temporary officer of the quarantine that he apparently my my rank was removed by somebody and then nobody said who that the I was out. And the officer who offered me the job of infection control said he was sorry then I asked him so what do you want to do then do you want to infect everybody in the ship? it will be your thousands of people who could potentially get COVID-19.

I don' t criticize DMAT people they were not infection control specialists, Society of infection prevention entered the, a lot of specialists came in but they spend only a few days and to left. And they said they were fearful of getting infections themselves. I share the same fear because I'm in the same room now and I separated from my family I'm very scared of getting infection myself and I'm very scared of infecting my family too.

I'll be out of my medical services at Culver University Hospital for maybe next two weeks to avoid further infections to occur that is very likely to occur if you keep zero infection control inside the ship that brings us like this.

You might know that there is no CDC in Japan but I thought there must be some specialists called on and was in charge of infection control in ship it's not expecting nobody was professional infection control specialist and the only the bureaucrats were doing the jobs completely layman's work in the violating all the infection control principles and the risking people inside further infections so I'm not very surprised to see many new positive PCR's to be broadcasted every day hundreds of people got infected and the lot of people from outside Japan decided to take the people away from the ship and bring them to their home countries by airplane and offered them another 14 days of quarantine. I hope this will be the opportunity to raise a question what is happening inside ship.

I wish all the international bodies to request Japan to change. I wish everybody to call for protection of people inside the Diamond Princess. Otherwise there will be far more infections for passengers for crews for Diamond members for psychiatrist for officer of the Ministry of Health and labor DMAT member consists of nurses and doctors and that they will go back to the hospital they work routinely and it's a much infected their patients further to spread and the disease.

I can't bear with it, I can't bear with it, I think we have to change we have to do something about these crews and we have to help people inside the ship their safety and their life.

Again I am professor Kentaro Iwata of infection this infectious disease specialist thank you for listening.

Not sure if it has been posted yet :

Nanjing, a major city in Jiangsu province, will ease restrictions after 2 days with no new cases of coronavirus. People will return to work, public places are reopening, and public transportation will resume.

In my opinion it is extremely risky. Even if there is truly no more cases, people under lockdown at home can be sick without the government knowing, and people can still be in incubation OR surfaces can still be contaminated. It just takes one person to start the human to human transmission again in full blown. And a second lockdown will be rougher than the first as population capacity to quarantine itself will be much lesser (less food ... etc available)

Let's hope and pray..

looking forward to see the answer " the call back "

Sorry but bump for potential covert importance

Who is denying that we live in a doom caused by Covid-19 must be a paid desinformation agent.

Once again. At this point it isn’t „necessary“ that Covid-19 spreads more to cause a crash of the world economy. The bubble was already there. Corona will make the bubble explode.

What happens next? We will see, but one thing is clear. A lot of things will change.

He's already sniffing when talking, so he most probably has got the virus too.

Hopefully nothing will happen, but remember that it just takes one case to start the transmission anew. China is a dictatorial communist state with extreme capacity to enforce lockdown. Of course everyone staying home works to contain a virus, that's extremely normal. I never caught a cold by staying home alone.

However, it can start and spread again very quickly. If you have cases in countries like in Africa or India where they can hardly detect an outbreak it will go out of control very fast and containment will fail.

If a resurgence appears in China when the lockdown ends, they might not be able to lockdown again and again because their stockpile of foods ... etc... will run out.

Wasn't there also something about cases not being reported in Florida earlier today?

I agree -- our soldiers need those MREs.

They will be working their asses off to help people, away from their own families, who may be dying.

They get the MREs.

Everyone else needs to grow the fuck up and think beyond the next 3 days.

yea...
we know....:

New Zealand Post would like to inform other Union member countries and their designated operators that its partner airlines have suspended their flights to China (People’s Rep.) until further notice. Hence, New Zealand Post is currently unable to send letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items to China.

New Zealand Post is therefore declaring a situation of force majeure and ceasing, with immediate effect, to accept letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items destined for China, until sufficient transport capacity becomes available. International Express is still able to be sent to specific destinations at this time.

Update: 18 February 2020
Ends: Until further notice

From 17 February 2020, New Zealand has temporarily ceased outgoing and incoming deliveries – both mail and parcel – from China.
Delays should be expected in receiving and sending mail and parcels that were sent before 17th February, until further notice. This is due to the extensive logistical and operational challenges faced internationally around the Covid-19 health crisis.

They may have, but world of meters doesn't have it updated, still at 15.

What exactly made the markets go down today and gold ovepassed 1600 for the first time (adding) since 2013?
