Event Update For 2020-08-12




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.

  3. North Carolina: 'Reporting error' fuels 200K COVID testing overcount
    https://www.sott.net/article/439775-North-Carolina-Reporting-error-fuels-200K-COVID-testing-overcount

    North Carolina public health officials have announced a major reporting error in the number of coronavirus tests conducted since the start of the pandemic.

    North Carolina overcounted its tally of completed coronavirus tests by 200,000 since the start of the pandemic, state officials announced Wednesday, blaming most of the error on a processing lab. The error doesn't affect key measures such as the percentage of positive test results, they said. [oh no, of course not - they're just making those numbers up too, so ..]

    LabCorp is one of two nationwide laboratory chains that are the backbone of coronavirus testing in the U.S. The other testing company is competitor Quest Diagnostics. [just 2?!]

    In recent weeks LabCorp has reported processing about 180,000 tests per day, or a quarter of the country's roughly 700,000 daily testing total. [i call bullshit on these numbers - how many are tested multiple times? what's the reliability? false positive rate, etc.]

    Last month both LabCorp and Quest warned that surging demand for COVID-19 tests had overwhelmed their lab capacity, leading to lag times of five days or more to return results to patients after their samples had been collected from testing sites. [more]

    Oops! England quietly drops 1.3m Covid tests from tally after death toll revised down by 5k
    https://www.sott.net/article/439761-Oops-England-quietly-drops-1-3m-Covid-tests-from-tally-after-death-toll-revised-down-by-5k

    The government has quietly removed 1.3m coronavirus tests from its data because of double counting, raising fresh questions about the accuracy of the testing figures.

    Justin Madders, the shadow health minister, said the data on testing had been "shambolic" for months.

    "To now retrospectively adjust the testing figures by 1.3m overnight - without explanation - is the latest in a long line of chaotic failings by the government on testing," he said.

    "How can we be confident that testing and tracing is working properly when basic data on the number of tests is obviously so flawed? Ministers need to get a grip of this as a matter of urgency." [more; see?]

    Bald Eagle attacks woman along Lake Superior
    https://www.sott.net/article/439767-Bald-Eagle-attacks-woman-along-Lake-Superior

    A scary attack between a young bald eagle and a woman took place along Lake Superior Thursday - and it was all caught on video, as FOX 21's Dan Hanger reports.

    The aggressive bald eagle was seen attacking the woman Thursday morning just 100 yards away from the Cascade Lodge and Restaurant along Highway 61 in Lutsen.

    Head Kitchen Manager Bernie Banks ran to help the woman — a guest at the lodge — using his chef's jacket to safely stop the raptor from charging on.

    "I just took off my jacket and threw it over him and tried my best to get him off of her while not hurting the bird or hurting her anymore without me getting hurt, alright," Banks said.

    The woman was not severely injured thanks in part to the jeans on her legs.

    The Cook County Sheriff's Office and the Minnesota State Patrol were called in to mostly keep onlookers at bay for everybody's safety, as the eagle — only a few months old — just wouldn't leave. The bird even roosted on law enforcement's vehicles. [more]

    The finish of stage 2 of the Critérium du Dauphiné was battered by a brutal hailstorm on Thursday afternoon, catching out a chunk of the peloton as they rode to the finish atop the Col de Porte and the crowds along the road.

    Meanwhile, the podium ceremony was cut short after the inflatable roof collapsed just as Egan Bernal (Team Ineos) was receiving the white jersey for best young rider. [more]
