Event Update For 2020-02-29

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.

2020-02-29 - First US coronavirus death reported in Washington State, state of emergency declared:

http://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

Quote: "A man in his 50s is the first to die from the coronavirus in the U.S., the Washington state Department of Health confirmed Saturday in a media advisory."

Quote: "More than 50 others at the center in Kirkland are reportedly ill with 'respiratory symptoms or hospitalized with pneumonia or other respiratory conditions of an unknown cause.' They’re being tested for coronavirus."

Quote: "Inslee declared a state of emergency in response to new cases of coronavirus in Washington and directed state agencies to use all resources necessary to prepare for and respond to the outbreak."

2020-02-29 - Will coronavirus slow down in the warmer months like flu season?
http://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/coronavirus-slow-down-warmer-months-flu-season-104500638.html

Note: Even if it does, then it'll simply kill people in the southern hemisphere more while it's winter there, then pick up again in the northern hemisphere once winter returns. I guess that's better than having it killing people constantly in BOTH hemispheres though...
