Event Update For 2020-04-05





http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html




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.

Quote: "Jans Ellefsen, originally of Glace Bay and now of Halifax, was walking by the Fisherman’s Wharf near the Englishtown ferry on April 4 when he noticed a couple of dead seals on the beach. As Ellefsen continued to walk, he continued to find more. 'It was shocking at first,' he said. 'I wondered how much further long this beach am I going to continue to see these seals? I just continued to follow the beach line and found 20 plus along there.' The seals ended up appearing to be confined along about a 500 to 1,000-foot stretch and in different stages of decay. 'Their bodies looked perfectly fine, there didn’t seem to be any signs of trauma,' he said."

  1. Hey Jonny, everyone. How is everyone doing? Do you actually KNOW anyone who has COVID-19 or who has died from it? i don't.
    i hear the stories and watch the counts go up each day, but i don't know anyone who actually HAS it or has died from it. Not that i want to chance it - i glove and mask up when going to the food store (about twice a week).

    Severe Tropical Cyclone Harold is the 2nd strongest cyclone to hit Vanuatu on record after killing 27 on the Solomon Isles: Is now heading toward Fiji and Tonga
    http://www.thebigwobble.org/2020/04/severe-tropical-cyclone-harold-is-2nd.html

    The 'Severe Tropical Cyclone,' smashed into Vanuatu as expected, earlier today, destroying buildings and causing devastation after killing 27 people on the Solomon Isles over the weekend. The Vanuatu Meteorology and Geo-Hazards Department issued a warning early on Tuesday that Harold had developed into a category 5 strength Cyclone with hurricane-force winds of 185km/h (100Knots), gusting to 235km/h (125Knots) and is now the 2nd strongest cyclone to hit Vanuatu on record.

    One-third of Vanuatu population has been affected, severe wind damage and flooding have been reported. Harold’s behaviour now indicates that the inner eyewall is collapsing due to the system’s interaction with the islands to its west. While it remains in extremely favourable very hot sea waters, Harold may organize an eyewall again before it heads towards the Fiji archipelago and Tonga. [more]

    Dozers built fireline through 3,500 burning rental cars
    https://wildfiretoday.com/2020/04/06/dozers-built-fireline-through-3500-burning-rental-cars/

    [no mention of the CAUSE of the fire]

    Firefighters and equipment from at least 11 fire departments arrived to help suppress the fire. Four dozers from the Florida Forest Service worked on the side of the fire that burned into trees and heavier vegetation, building a fireline — scraping the ground bare so that the fire could not spread any further. Helicopters dropped water on the burning cars. The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office reported that one of their Huey helicopters flown by Chief Pilot Shane Engelauf made over 80 water drops on the fire.

    “Tomahawk Construction and Port Authority provided heavy equipment (front end loaders) which were used to push cars and create a fire break,” Chief Young told us. “Because the fire was so large, the strategy was to create a fire line flanking the fire and in front of the fire’s head to prevent further spread. Fire Crash apparatus [trucks] and numerous other fire apparatus were used to protect the heavy equipment as they moved cars. ”

    The tactic to use dozers or heavy equipment was successful, saving more than half of the cars. The firefighters worked on the fire into the night and it was out the next day. [more]

  2. Food banks warn they will soon run out of food as economic suffering explodes all over America
    https://www.sott.net/article/432033-Food-banks-warn-they-will-soon-run-out-of-food-as-economic-suffering-explodes-all-over-America [Michael Snyder]

    What are hungry Americans going to do when the food banks don't have any more food for them? Over the past couple of weeks, we have witnessed the largest spike in unemployment in all of U.S. history. Since most of those workers did not have any sort of a cushion to fall bank on, a lot of of them have been forced to seek out emergency assistance for themselves and their families almost immediately. Of course our national network of food banks was not built to handle this sort of a scenario, and as you will see below, many of them are already starting to run out of food. But if things are this bad at the very beginning of this new economic downturn, what are things going to look like a few months from now? [more]

    Worse Than 2008: We Are Being Warned That The Coronavirus Shutdown “Could Collapse The Mortgage Market”
    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/worse-than-2008-we-are-being-warned-that-the-coronavirus-shutdown-could-collapse-the-mortgage-market

    The cascading failures that have been set into motion by this “coronavirus shutdown” are going to make the financial crisis of 2008 look like a Sunday picnic. As you will see below, it is being estimated that unemployment in the U.S. is already higher than it was at any point during the last recession. That means that millions of American workers no longer have paychecks coming in and won’t be able to pay their mortgages. On top of that, the CARES Act actually requires all financial institutions to allow borrowers with government-backed mortgages to defer payments for an extended period of time. Of course this is a recipe for disaster for mortgage lenders, and industry insiders are warning that we are literally on the verge of a “collapse” of the mortgage market. [more]

    Crops could face double trouble from insects and a warming climate
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/crops-could-face-double-trouble-120448383.html

    Our research team at Michigan State University’s Plant Resilience Institute watched what happened in hotter weather when hornworm caterpillars attacked a tomato plant. The tomato lost. We saw a surprising trade-off by the plant during the heat wave: It defended itself against the caterpillars but this effort prevented it from dealing with the harmful effects of heat. This caused the plant to overheat, which strengthened the caterpillars’ hand. [caterpillars have hands now?]

    A study by researchers in 2018 predicted that each degree of global warming will increase crop loss from insects by 10% to 25% because insect populations and their appetites surge in warm temperatures. Other climate-related variables, including prolonged droughts or floods, are likely to compound those losses. [more]

    Scientists report 'unprecedented' bleaching event in the Great Barrier Reef
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/scientists-report-unprecedented-bleaching-event-165412441.html

    After a summer of extreme heat in Australia, scientists at Australia's James Cook University and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority have reported the third bleaching event in the Great Barrier Reef in five years.

    "That is unprecedented," Mark Eakin, coordinator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Coral Reef Watch program, told The Washington Post.

    It's clear that major bleaching events can now be caused by climate change, Eakin said, noting that this year's bleaching did not coincide with El Niño, like several in the past did.

    Bleaching is the result of coral being exposed to warm water for too long, leaving it under more stress and "subject to mortality," according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Coral reefs "support more species per unit area than any other marine environment," and their biodiversity is "considered key to finding new medicines for the 21st century," per the NOAA.

    Strikingly, the authors wrote, of all the materials they tested, the coronavirus lasted longest on the outer layer of a surgical mask. On day seven of their investigation, the virus was still present on the outward facing side of the mask. [article doesn't explain how to sterilize masks for re-use; another article i saw said to "spray-dunk" them in hydrogen peroxide for 5 - 10 min. and let them air dry]

    "Coins will transmit a virus better than cash, but this shouldn't be a huge concern," she said. "Basic rule of thumb should be to consider money dirty anyway, because it is. It goes through too many hands not to be."

    "Surface disinfectants — like Lysol, bleach — are better for surfaces."

    Your smartphone, with all its glass and aluminum, can also carry viral particles.

    Graham recommended disinfecting your phone, "particularly if it travels to the bathroom with you."

    The authors of the Journal of Hospital Infection study noted that human coronaviruses could be "efficiently inactivated" on surfaces within one minute if they're cleaned with solutions containing 62% to 71% ethanol alcohol, 0.5% hydrogen peroxide, or 0.1% sodium hypochlorite.

    Authorities found the body of Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean on Monday, five days after her canoe apparently capsized in the Chesapeake Bay.

    McKean, 40, the daughter of former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy, went missing late Thursday afternoon along with her son 8-year-old son, Gideon. The pair went out into waters near the family's home in Shady Side, Maryland, about 25 miles south of Annapolis.

  7. African Americans seem to be disproportionately dying of the coronavirus in several states. A decades-old mistrust in government health services called the 'Tuskegee Effect' could be fueling the problem.
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/african-americans-worst-hit-ethnic-112557019.html

    Though few places so far have publicly broken down the numbers by race, early data indicates that black people make up 39% of deaths in Chicago, 42% in Illinois as a whole, 40% in Michigan, and 81% in Wisconsin's Milwaukee County.

    Black communities are on average poorer and in worse health than other groups, leaving them vulnerable to the virus, according to experts.

    Studies have also found black people in the US to be less likely to seek medical help for ailments because of a mistrust of the American health system, which has been racist historically. [more]

    Side effects: Fuel demand crash shuts U.S. ethanol plants, meatpackers lack refrigerant
    https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/side-effects-fuel-demand-crash-151750732.html

    A slew of U.S. ethanol plants have shut down as fuel demand has collapsed during the coronavirus outbreak, and meatpackers have been hit by a worrying side-effect: less carbon dioxide is now available to chill beef, poultry and pork.

    "We're headed for a train wreck in terms of the CO2 market," said Geoff Cooper, president of the Renewable Fuels Association industry group. The RFA said 29 of the 45 U.S. ethanol plants that sell carbon dioxide, or CO2, have idled or cut rates. The U.S. ethanol sector is the top supplier of commercial carbon dioxide to the food industry, accounting for around 40% of the market, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.

    That has put the U.S. meat industry on high-alert. It uses carbon dioxide as a refrigerant and preservative for meat, and also uses the gas to stun animals before slaughter.

    The CO2 crunch is the latest supply chain disruption threatening the food industry as it struggles to keep workers on the job during the coronavirus outbreak while meeting rising demand at grocery stores. [more]

  8. Fauci once dismissed concerns about 'silent carriers' of coronavirus. Not anymore.
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/fauci-once-dismissed-concerns-about-silent-carriers-of-coronavirus-not-anymore-161718057.html

    At Sunday’s White House briefing, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, suggested that hundreds of thousands — or even millions — of “silent carriers” may be unwittingly spreading the coronavirus across the United States because they don’t realize they’re infected.

    The idea that at least some coronavirus carriers don’t feel sick isn’t new. But the scale of Fauci’s estimate was.

    “It’s somewhere between 25 and 50 percent” of the total, Fauci said. But “right now,” he went on, “we’re just guessing.” [more; yeah, yer guessin' 'cause ya ain't TESTIN'!]

    "Thus far, our reaction to COVID-19 has been to sacrifice the global economy," said Jacobs. "The truth is: a sick economy produces sick people." [what, you think we're MAKING UP all these deaths?]

    Most people don't want to hear the truth, unfortunately, and the longer state governments insist on businesses being closed and an economy shut down to combat what's looking like a fairly insignificant virus for most of the population, the aftermath will worsen. Each day that drags on will make the next few years more difficult. [you don't get it, if we had business as usual, we'd be seeing MILLIONS of deaths!]

    "Last year, our medical examiner performed autopsies for 199 confirmed or suspected suicides from across the region, with 83 of those coming from Knox County. Over the past 48 hours, that office has now examined nine suspected suicides, eight of which are from Knox County alone. For Knox County, that's almost ten percent of last year's total number in the past two days alone," Jacobs added.
