The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.
A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

http://www.newsbreak.com/california/marina/news/0OGG0Lyd/horrible-stench-dozens-in-marina-complain-about-unknown-foul-smell
Quote: "Something stinks in Marina and officials are not sure what it is. The Monterey Bay Air Resources District says complaints about foul smells have accelerated over the last two months. They say there have been nearly 100 complaints since 2017 of people complaining about 'horrible smells' and a 'terrible odor' that are mostly concentrated in the northern part of Marina."

http://www.cnn.com/2020/02/26/health/coronavirus-us-developments/index.html
Quote: "A person in California who was not exposed to anyone known to be infected with the coronavirus, and had not traveled to countries in which the virus is circulating, has tested positive for the infection. It may be the first case of community spread in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday."
Note: So whoever they got it from is still out in society passing it on to others, and has been for a while. And whoever else that person infected, they've been out in society passing it on to others too, who have passed it on to yet others. Any of those people may have been visitors from other cities who have returned home, gone to restaurants or grocery stores or music concerts and such. In other words, it's here now, spreading quietly from person to person, and anyone you meet from now on could be infectious. Maybe 'the authorities' know it's already widespread and the reason they're not testing very many people is to force the number of confirmed cases to remain a low number. You can't have more than 500 confirmed cases if you only test 500 people!

Unbelievable end of the week here Jonny, everyone. It's getting real scary out there. i'll be surprised if anyone still has a job by the end of the year. Governments actively talking about MASS GRAVES?! Remember - this virus is ON TOP OF ALL THE OTHER VECTORS trying to kill off life on Earth, environmental (including JJFH, sea-level rise, food shortages due to weather, and natural disasters) and man-made (including COVID-19, all pollution, supply chain problems, government sponsored slaughter, and our usual mayhem, like war).

We Are Watching The Stock Market Do Things That It Has Never Done Before

Stock prices are falling faster and harder than they ever have before. If the financial markets are in this much chaos even though not a single American has died from the coronavirus yet, what are things going to look like if this outbreak starts sweeping across America like wildfire? The number of confirmed cases continues to explode all over the world, and the discovery of a case of “unknown origin” in northern California has really shaken up global financial markets. It has become clear that efforts to contain this virus have failed, and investors are now coming to grips with the fact that this crisis is just getting started. We haven’t seen this much panic on Wall Street in a very long time, and on Thursday we actually witnessed the largest single day point decline in all of U.S. history… [more]

Australia points to the future: mass vaccinations and stadium quarantine
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/02/australia-points-to-future-mass.html
Governments may order mass vaccinations of entire suburbs, cities or groups of people; sports stadia may be sequestered as quarantine sites; and police could be ordered to guard critical medical supplies under Australia’s pandemic health plans.
Under worst-case scenarios being contemplated by state and federal governments, forecasts say a pandemic outbreak could last up to 10 months, and 40% of the country’s workforce could be sidelined by illness or caring for family members. Australia’s GDP could take a 10% hit. [more; no government is ready for this - the proposed vaccine is a fucking JOKE, because there IS NO VACCINE! It's a BIO-WEAPON! No one in power seems to be able to think about how all the interactions that societies depend on will evaporate and the knock-on effects of that are too numerous to mention. Jonny has it right - ANYONE can be an infection carrier WITHOUT KNOWING, and spreading this shit everywhere - and the pattern continues. The military will be affected, as will the police, firefighters, EMTs, and other first-responders. We're in DEEP SHIT! i don't care how much food or how many guns you have stored, this situation CANNOT be prepped for!]

Palau’s marine sanctuary backfires, leading to increased consumption of reef fish
http://www.fasterthanexpected.com/blog/
Palau’s much-touted marine sanctuary has backfired, with the fishing ban leading to an increased consumption of the reef fish in the western Pacific country – such as grouper, snapper and parrotfish – that the marine sanctuary promised to protect.
the ban has actually led to a shortage as commercial fishing vessels have moved out of Palau’s waters.
As a result, shops and restaurants in Palau are serving up vulnerable reef fish instead of pelagic fish like tuna.
“It will be the opposite of what we wanted,” said Yimnang Golbuu, chief executive of Palau International Coral Reef Center (PICRC) and administrator of the marine sanctuary, of reports of increased consumption of reef fish. [more]

Coronavirus Diagnosis in California Highlights Testing Flaws
https://www.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-diagnosis-california-highlights-testing-131637176.html
Already in deep distress, the patient was rushed last week to a hospital in Northern California, severely ill and unable to breathe on her own.
Doctors at the University of California, Davis Medical Center, near Sacramento, provided the woman with critical care but also considered an unlikely diagnosis: infection with the coronavirus.
Hospital administrators said they immediately requested diagnostic testing from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but the procedure was not carried out because the case did not qualify under strict federal criteria: She had not traveled to China and had not been in contact with anyone known to be infected.
The announcement on Wednesday that the woman was indeed infected left health officials in California searching for people she may have exposed to the virus and testing the medical workers who have treated her. The case has raised difficult questions about whom to test and whether the nation is prepared to keep the virus under control. [more; SEE?! CDC policy makes mistakes like this CERTAIN]
