The Morning Report - 3/16/20Good morning, kids. Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy ride this week and probably for the next month or so. The Chinese Coronavirus, Oriental Plague, Yellow Fever International Silver String Submarine Band is now spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of panic. The thrill of short selling, the agony of no toilet paper. As travel bans are enacted, events cancelled, Broadway theaters going dark, schools closed until April and the world seemingly sealing itself inside its homes after smearing sacrificial lamb blood on the door to ward of Malach ha Mawis, there seems to be something missing and I can't quite put my finer on it. What could it be? Wait, I've got it. An actual mass death toll. So far in the USA alone, the last time I checked we have a grand total of 60 victims. Yes, I know that in China, where this plague came from (and as some are speculating as a possible biological warfare experiment or even intentional attack) the estimated toll is a few thousand dead. And it's estimated because, for the benefit of anyone completely insane enough to support Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, China is a brutal, totalitarian regime that believe it or not lies and propagandizes to insulate itself on its quest for global domination. That said, the disease is said to be finally quelling in China and that the hotspot now is Europe, particularly Italy. But I digress. Back to the reality check, according to this Australian news site, since the Chinese Coronavirus was first announced 69 days ago, as of this morning: Total number of confirmed global cases = 170,150 Two things to bear in mind as you don your Level 4 biohazard suit after gargling with Purell and molten zinc, the world population stands at 7,800,000,000. That's 7.8 billion for you Leftists. The other thing is that last number, or more significantly what it represents: people who have recovered from the virus. That means if you're unlucky enough to come down with it, and in a nation of about 315 million and given the numbers cited, the odds right now are still kind of long, unless you're respiratory system is compromised or you're an elderly person the worst thing you'll experience is a very bad flu. Or am I wrong about that? Seriously, I'm only going off of what I know about this virus and nowhere can I find any actual information on its pathology. Yes, I know the numbers are cold comfort to anyone who G-d forbid comes down with it or worse, has a friend or relative who succumbs to it. But given what the media is reporting, how our officials are reacting at the federal, state and local levels, and more disturbingly how our economy is affected (malevolently or otherwise), this whole thing just does not add up. I really am at my wits end with this. And frankly, I smell rats all the way around with this. Ironic considering that 2020 is the year of the rat in China. From Anthony J. Ciani at American Thinker: If COVID-19 (scientifically known as SARS-CoV-2) had started in Singapore or Taiwan, it would have traveled the world, infected billions of people, killed millions, and there wouldn't have been a single peep about it. "But it kills people," you cry. That is what cold and flu do, especially to the elderly and those lacking basic medicines. The world is panicking over a virus that causes mild colds in the vast majority of cases. Amid the panic, China is profiting as it buys up stocks at bargain-basement prices. Instead of engineering a pandemic, did China engineer pandemonium?... ...When the virus peters out and the panic fades, China may be permanently rebranded and recalibrated by the world at large. Its trading partners will trust it far less to honor any commitments or to abide by any international agreements. Supply chains will be diversified. Tourism will be reduced in fears another such coronavirus will follow SARS and COVID-19 - and be hushed up. Countries that had particular close commercial and cultural ties with China - Iran, South Korea, and Italy - were hurt most during the epidemic by Chinese silence and duplicity... As I said up top, fasten your seatbelts; it's going to be a bumpy ride.
