Jumping Jack Flash Hypothesis: It's A Gas Gas Gas: Event Update For 2020-03-04

Event Update For 2020-03-04

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: "An American Airlines flight heading to San Juan, Puerto Rico had to be diverted back to Philadelphia International Airport due to an odor in the cabin."

http://www.cnn.com/2020/03/05/health/california-coronavirus-cruise-ship-thursday/index.html

Quote: "The Princess Grand cruise ship headed from Hawaii toward San Francisco contains 21 people who are showing possible symptoms of the novel coronavirus, according to California Gov. Gavin Newsom. 'The ship will not come onshore until we properly assess passengers,' Newsom told reporters at a press conference. Newsom declared a state of emergency in California on Wednesday."

Quote: "The fate of almost 3,500 people headed back to the United States remains a mystery as their cruise ship won't be allowed to dock anytime soon. That's because the Grand Princess previously carried a passenger who has become the first person to die from coronavirus in California. And dozens of passengers who were on the voyage with that man are still on the ship. At least two people who traveled with that passenger on the ship tested positive for the virus this week."

2020-03-04 - Medical screener at Los Angeles International Airport tests positive for coronavirus in Los Angeles (California):

http://www.wkbw.com/news/coronavirus/screener-at-los-angeles-airport-tests-positive-for-coronavirus

Note: So the person checking to see if people had coronavirus at the airport had coronavirus at the airport. How many people did he or she give the virus to while checking them? This reminds me of a time when a friend's antivirus software got infected by a virus, and when he used it to check all his executables for viruses, it infected all of them. I connected my laptop to his network, and he wanted to make sure I wasn't bringing him a virus, so he used his virus-infected antivirus software to check my executables and infected all of them too. We both ended up having to reformat our hard drives and reinstall everything...

Will This Coronavirus Outbreak Cause A New Financial Crisis And A Horrifying Economic Collapse?
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/will-this-coronavirus-outbreak-cause-a-new-financial-crisis-and-a-horrifying-economic-collapse

The term “black swan event” is increasingly being used to describe this coronavirus outbreak, and many are concerned that what we are headed for will be much worse than what we experienced in 2008 and 2009. Already, we have witnessed a staggering drop in global demand, Wall Street has had to deal with the wildest week in eight years, and people all over the globe are hoarding toilet paper, face masks and hand sanitizer. That may sound like a plot from one of my books, but it is not. This is actually happening, and it appears that we are still only in the very early chapters of this crisis.

It seems like just yesterday that everyone was freaking out because there were a few dozen confirmed cases here in the United States. Now there are 70 in the state of Washington alone… [more; right - like China, the U.S. is LYING about the numbers of infected]

“It’s Like A Ghost Town”: Major Cities All Over The Globe Are Paralyzed By Fear Of COVID-19
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/03/economic-collapse-within-coronavirus.html

We haven’t seen anything cause this much worldwide fear in a really long time. But even though there is so much fear, we still don’t know if this is going to evolve into the next great global pandemic that kills millions of people or not. I wish that I had a definitive answer for you. At this point we do know that the number of confirmed cases outside of China continues to rise at a very alarming rate, and we also know that this virus is about 34 times more deadly than the flu according to the latest numbers. But in order for it to kill millions of people, a substantial percentage of the global population would have to be infected, and we don’t know if that is actually going to happen. [what's going to stop it?]

But in major cities around the globe where there has been an eruption of COVID-19 cases, we are seeing severe disruptions in normal activity.

For example, now that several coronavirus deaths have been reported in the area, the lack of tourists has turned downtown Seattle into “a ghost town”…

The streets of Seoul, the South Korean capital, stood nearly empty this week.

Many shops are still closed in Beijing, and residents’ temperatures are scanned at regular checkpoints, as well as inside each store. On streets that are normally so crowded that people are forced to brush shoulders, those who are out keep a good distance from one another.

In Milan, things are eerily quiet right now. In fact, nobody has seen the city this quiet in the entire modern history of Italy…

The following is an excerpt from the account of a 25-year-old British man that actually caught COVID-19…

Day 12: I’ve had a relapse. Just as I thought the flu was getting better, it has come back with a vengeance. My breathing is laboured. Just getting up and going to the bathroom leaves me panting and exhausted. I’m sweating, burning up, dizzy and shivering. The television is on but I can’t make sense of it. This is a nightmare.
By the afternoon, I feel like I am suffocating. I have never been this ill in my life. I can’t take more than sips of air and, when I breathe out, my lungs sound like a paper bag being crumpled up. This isn’t right. I need to see a doctor. But if I call the emergency services, I’ll have to pay for the ambulance call-out myself. That’s going to cost a fortune. I’m ill, but I don’t think I’m dying — am I? [more]

Chinese Scientists Find Genetic Explanation For Coronavirus Discriminating By Race
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/03/how-coronavirus-discriminates-by-race.html

Sir Humphrey Appleby, the Machiavellian senior civil servant in the hit 1980s British sitcom Yes, Minister once famously commented that one should “never believe anything until it’s been officially denied.”

Which meant we could be fairly confident that racial and ethnic differences in susceptibility to Coronavirus exist, because our race-denying Ruling Class so dogmatical[ly] refused to consider the evidence.

Now that’s over: a study by a Chinese research group has emerged that offers concrete proof of race differences in susceptibility to Corona virus are very real.

The authors explain that “2019-nCov was reported to share the same receptor, Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)” as the SARS disease, an outbreak of which in 2003 seemed almost exclusively to kill Northeast Asians.

the only Asian donor (male) has a much higher ACE2-expressing cell ratio than white and African American donors (2.50% vs. 0.47% of all cells). This might explain the observation that the new Coronavirus pandemic and previous SARS-Cov pandemic are concentrated in the Asian area.

Because they know that not only the rest of the world is also watching these numbers, but so is China's population. And absent a rebound in electricity usage, which remain far below prior years even if it is to power unused machines in empty factories, China can't hold out hope to pretend that February was the kitchen sink month as the level of economic activity simply will not rise for months... unless of course Beijing orders the local population to simply consume for the sake of giving the outside world it is consuming as if things were back to normal.

Pennsylvania has reported its first two positive tests for the new coronavirus.

Two patients tested positive for coronavirus, one in Delaware County and the other in Wayne County, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf said at a Friday morning news conference.

The tests now must be sent to the CDC for confirmation.

The cases were not community spread, meaning the cases came through some sort of travel, Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine said.

The announcement came as five schools in the Central Bucks School District were closed Friday after students and staff were exposed to someone from out-of-state who later was confirmed to have coronavirus.

Trump's devaluing of science is a danger to US coronavirus response, experts warn
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-administration-brain-drain-impeding-090032589.html

The Trump administration’s jettisoning of scientific expertise and the president’s habit of spreading misinformation means the US is in a much weaker position to deal with the threat of coronavirus, experts have warned.

There are now at least 149 known coronavirus cases across 13 states, with 11 deaths. US lawmakers have put together an $8.3bn emergency bill to help contain the virus, with laboratories set to be allowed to develop their own coronavirus tests without seeking regulatory approval first.

But the efforts to address the outbreak risk being undermined by three years of a Trump administration that has seen an exodus of scientists from a variety of agencies, the scrapping and remodeling of scientific panels to favor industry interests and a president who regularly dismisses or distorts scientific facts – from the climate crisis to whether the moon is part of Mars – in public.

They're closing schools and colleges here (too slowly if you ask me).
We've been on Spring Break, so who knows where all the students went during that. We reopen next week, with a case in the same county!
You can easily speculate that there will be more. So, with so little control, the ability of this virus (BIO-WEAPON) to infect people and stay dormant so that it can spread without symptoms, you'd have to be psychopathic (or motivated by money) to re-open after this break. i'm sure those in charge are considering this.
If i go back next week, i'll be wearing a N-95 mask and latex gloves. We're just making matters worse by the day in going about our business and ignoring this threat (especially since we really don't know how many people are walking around infecting others unknowingly). When you have a confirmed case in your county, nearest city or even in your state, you can expect there will be others. Like Chris Martenson says, it's case, case, cluster, cluster BOOM!

CORONAVIRUS AND MOSQUITOES – DO THEY SPREAD IT? There is no evidence that coronavirus is spread by mosquitoes, CDC: (But there is no evidence that it doesn't!)
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2020/03/coronavirus-and-mosquitoes-do-they.html

Captain Stan The Mosquito Man, who holds a PhD in Public Health and works with the CDC claims, "there is no evidence whatsoever that any coronavirus is spread by mosquito bite." However, there is no evidence that it doesn't. Covid-19 is a virus and mosquitoes are well known for spreading viruses, some of them deadly. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year resulting in over one million deaths.

Mosquito-borne diseases or mosquito-borne illnesses are diseases caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites transmitted by mosquitoes.

Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes include malaria, dengue, West Nile virus, chikungunya, yellow fever, filariasis, tularemia, dirofilariasis, Japanese encephalitis, Saint Louis encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Ross River fever, Barmah Forest fever, La Crosse encephalitis, and Zika fever, as well as newly detected Keystone virus and Rift Valley fever.

The viral diseases yellow fever, dengue fever, Zika fever and chikungunya are transmitted mostly by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
Other viral diseases like epidemic polyarthritis, Rift Valley fever, Ross River fever, St. Louis encephalitis, West Nile fever, Japanese encephalitis, La Crosse encephalitis and several other encephalitic diseases are carried by several different mosquitoes. Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) and Western equine encephalitis (WEE) occur in the United States where they cause disease in humans, horses, and some bird species. Because of the high mortality rate, EEE and WEE are regarded as two of the most serious mosquito-borne diseases in the United States. Symptoms range from a mild flu-like illness to encephalitis, coma and death. [more]

The U.S. economy is particularly sensitive to events like the coronavirus outbreak, said Austan Goolsbee, the former chair of economic advisers under President Barack Obama.

“The U.S. economy is so much more intensively driven by these personal services that are exactly the kinds of things that dry up when people get afraid,” he said on Yahoo Finance’s YFi PM.

If the impact is as bad in the U.S. as it was in China, Goolsbee said the hit to the U.S. would be a “fair bit worse.” For example, the travel, sports, and entertainment industries are 10 times bigger in the U.S. than in China.

“That just puts the focus back on: you’ve got to slow the spread of this disease,” Goolsbee said. “You’ve got to engage in the very best public health you can because the downside is really that bad.” [more; that's why we're ignoring it]

So I read that in China, factories and businesses are keeping their lights on in order to provide an appearance of recovery and normalcy. That too may have something to do with global dimming, like the ghost planes flying their routes without passengers. What powers the lights? Electricity. And where does that come from? Coal plants, primarily, at least in China.

I'm not saying they're keeping the lights on in order to force the coal plants to keep going. I'm saying that the coal plants are going to keep running NO MATTER WHAT, which means they have a lot of electricity, so why not use it to make things look normal?

Like the planes. They're not running empty planes to keep their routes, because who would WANT a route transporting zero passengers? They're going to keep the planes flying NO MATTER WHAT, because the planes transporting people from Point A to Point B isn't the primary purpose of the planes flying anymore.

Empty factories with their lights blazing. Empty planes flying all over the place. Industrialized civilization has so backed itself into a corner that it has no choice but to keep going now, NO MATTER WHAT. When industrialized civilization slows down enough, we're all going to be dead pretty quick.
