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.

2020-03-02 - Unknown rotten egg odor hits large area in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania):

http://patch.com/pennsylvania/philadelphia/gas-odor-philly-caused-refinery-cleaning-officials
http://www.phillyvoice.com/gas-odor-philadelphia-evacuations-center-city/
Quote: "The Philadelphia fire department now says they cannot confirm the mercaptan release at the refinery as the origin of the odor. 'After an investigation at PES, the PFD Hazmat Task Force cannot confirm the initial report of a mercaptan release at the refinery. PES did clean equipment today, but the actual source of the smell remains undetermined,' the department wrote on Twitter."
Quote: "'Despite some initial reports that perhaps some cleaning work they were doing on a tank down there was the source of the odor. We actually went in and checked that vessel or hazmat taskforce did, and did not find that to be the source of the odors,' said Philadelphia Fire Commissioner Adam Thiel."
Quote: "According to Theil, the PES Refinery did have a reading on their fenceline monitoring system that suggests some type of product went across their facility, from an unknown location around 7:30 to 8 a.m."
Quote: "We were evacuated at 1500 Mkt. The smell was overwhelming. Scary not knowing where it was coming from."
Note: So 'something' that smelled like rotten eggs did blow across the refinery there but it came from an unknown location and nobody knows what it was. They initially thought that maybe the rotten egg odor was mercaptan from a tank being cleaned, but they ruled that out...
2020-03-02 - Unknown rotten egg and/or sewage odor continues regularly blowing through Delaware County (Pennsylvania):

2020-03-02 - FEMA prepping for possible coronavirus emergency declaration:
http://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/02/fema-prepping-for-possible-coronavirus-emergency-declaration.html

http://www.adirondackdailyenterprise.com/news/local-news/2020/03/21-year-old-dies-on-dix-mountain/
Note: I won't be surprised if an emergency is declared, followed by martial law, followed by presidential elections being canceled until COVID-19 is eradicated, which, as has been mentioned, may never happen. Dictators seizing and consolidating power during emergencies is a time-honored tactic that dates at least as far back as the Roman Empire. All the ingredients are there: 1) a leader who wants to be a dictator; 2) a judiciary stacked by that person to provide a semblance of legitimacy; 3) a following that prioritizes him over truth, justice or their own country; and 4) an emergency. Plus, the federales may be waiting to arrest Trump for bank fraud, tax fraud and obstruction of justice if he were to lose the election. But if there IS no election, problem solved!

Quote: "At about 8:15 a.m. Monday, Hugh Morris, 58, was scuba diving in an area known as 'Amber’s Arches' as part of a tour with Bubbles Below, according to a preliminary report. Although he was initially anxious, he eventually decided to get into the water with an instructor via a mooring line. About 10 minutes into the dive, however, he signaled that he wanted to go back up, returned to the surface and started to swim back to the boat. En route, he began to exhibit signs of distress, and became unresponsive before reaching the boat."
Quote: "Thomas Bossert, 64, of Minnesota was snorkeling with family in waters fronting the Marriott’s Waiohai Beach Club at about 11:30 a.m. Monday when they became separated. A Koloa resident swimming in the same area found Bossert motionless and unresponsive in the water, and waved for help from lifeguards at the closest tower."

Good morning Jonny, Fran, Mike D., Tom N., LL, Terry, Panther and FezzedOne among any other readers of JJFH this morning.

It also states that the virus crosses the blood-brain barrier and causes the infected person to stop breathing (like the many scenes of people collapsing on the street).

The Unstoppable Coronavirus vs. The “All-Powerful” Federal Reserve
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-unstoppable-coronavirus-vs-the-all-powerful-federal-reserve
Has the Federal Reserve finally met an opponent that it won’t be able to defeat? Ever since the last financial crisis, unprecedented intervention by the Fed at key moments has kept the economy and the financial system relatively stable. No matter what has come along, it has seemed like the Federal Reserve has always had an answer, and this has created an environment that has enabled the most ridiculous stock market bubble in U.S. history to grow to epic proportions. But now COVID-19 is perhaps the greatest challenge that the Fed has faced in modern times. No matter how low interest rates are pushed, and no matter how much helicopter money the Fed drops from the sky, it isn’t going to cause fearful Americans to go shopping, take trips or start businesses. And nothing that the Fed can do will be able to mitigate the severe disruptions to global supply chains that we are currently witnessing. [more]

Japan lifts evacuation order for part of disaster-hit Fukushima town
ReplyDeletehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/japan-lifts-evacuation-order-part-disaster-hit-fukushima-024417973--oly.html
Japan on Wednesday lifted an evacuation order for parts of Futaba, one of two towns where the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is located, ahead of an Olympic torch relay in the region.
The whole of Futaba, formerly home to some 7,000 people, was designated a mandatory evacuation zone after a massive quake-triggered tsunami in 2011 hit the Fukushima Daiichi plant, damaging the power supply and cooling system and eventually causing a meltdown.
With the lifting of the mandatory evacuation order in a northern part of the town, workers will be able to stay in the area near the main railway station.
But residents will not be able to return to the town immediately because of a shortage of running water and other infrastructure, a town official told AFP. [more; yeah, well - YOU FIRST!]

Health experts warn coronavirus could be the 'Hurricane Sandy of epidemics'
https://www.yahoo.com/news/health-experts-warn-coronavirus-could-203038942.html
"This is potentially a very significant event, the Hurricane Sandy of epidemics," Dr. Bryan Lewis, a professor at the Biocomplexity Institute at the University of Virginia, told AccuWeather, invoking the superstorm that ravaged parts of the East Coast in 2012.
"This pathogen has all the signs of being ‘the big one,'" said Lewis, who is among those at the Biocomplexity Institute who works in a research partnership with AccuWeather. "When current estimates for COVID-19 are compared to the 1918 pandemic, they are eerily similar. The outcomes will likely be different given modern medicine; however, the impact on society and its functioning is likely to be significant." [more]

Alarming rise in dolphins washed up dead on Irish beaches - at least 37 so far in 2020
https://www.sott.net/article/430176-Alarming-rise-in-dolphins-washed-up-dead-on-Irish-beaches-at-least-37-so-far-in-2020
The dead dolphin was reported to the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG) who confirmed to The Southern Star that the numbers of dead dolphins found stranded on beaches in West Cork and Kerry has increased alarmingly in recent times.
'Prior to 2011, it would have been normal to have 20 - 25 common dolphin strandings per year, but since then, numbers have risen rapidly and last year we recorded 104 (this excludes unidentified dolphins),' he said. Mr O'Connell said that an examination of vessel finders online show a lot of fishing taking place by large pelagic trawlers west of the Blasket Islands.
Dr Simon Berrow of the IWDG said: 'While there are many causes of death, certainly fisheries bycatch is a significant cause. [more]

Of near-universal importance was the desire to save humans before animals, the young before the old, and as many lives as possible.
But also evident was a preference for saving the lawful, for saving executives before the homeless, women before men, and the fit before the overweight.

Climate Change Nightmare: Canada Has a Gas Leak Problem
https://www.yahoo.com/news/climate-change-nightmare-canada-gas-121500380.html
One of the issues the oil and gas industry faces is the leakage of gases from wellbores — the holes drilled into the ground to look for or recover oil and natural gas. Methane leakage from wellbores has become an important issue because this greenhouse gas is far more potent than carbon dioxide.
My colleagues and I recently examined a database containing information about 21,525 active and abandoned wells located in the four main shale gas formations of northeastern British Columbia: the Montney, Horn River, Liard and Cordova basins. This represents almost all of the conventional and shale gas wells existing in the region.
We found that almost 11 per cent of all oil and gas wells had a reported leak, together releasing 14,000 cubic metres of methane per day. This is more than double the leakage rate of 4.6 per cent in Alberta, which may have less stringent testing and reporting requirements. [more]

Amazon, African forests turning from CO2 sink to source: study
https://www.yahoo.com/news/amazon-african-forests-turning-co2-sink-source-study-160010543.html
The world's tropical forests are rapidly losing their ability to absorb carbon dioxide from greenhouse gas emissions, with the Amazon rainforest at risk of turning from carbon sink to source within 15 years, researchers warned Wednesday.
Tropical forests provide humans with medicine, food, shelter and water and currently account for around half of all terrestrial carbon absorption. [oh, so by all means - cut it down! idiots]
They found that while there was some forest gain owing to increased CO2 levels -- since trees grow faster in carbon-rich environments -- the sink this provided was more than cancelled out by tree loss due to extreme heat and drought. [more]

So now we have a suspected Covid-19 infected person IN PHILLY!!! Though I've been taking elderberry for a while, I'm going to start taking more vitamin c and coconut oil as a precaution.
ReplyDeleteI may not finish the semester - because it may be called off beforehand.
Everyone is talking about it, but nobody knows how lethal it can be.
According to TruNews, seniors (like me)
won't be tested (unless we recently returned from China or associated with someone who has) and (those in nursing homes) won't be treated until the case becomes critical! If that's the case, it may be concluded that this is a definite attack on the most vulnerable in order to drop the population.
So the best course of action is to prepare your body with any helpful preventative supplements, be very conscious of your surroundings (as far as what you touch and how close you are to others), staying away from anyone with a cough or who is sneezing (almost impossible in classrooms), hand washing etc. That's the best I can do - hey, if I get this thing and die, I had a good life.
