Event Update For 2020-03-05
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.

A frightening model
ALERT: Pandemic projection model shows 2.16 million
deaths in USA by July 4th if
nothing done to halt nearly all domestic travel (air, rail and roads)
https://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/03/a-frightening-model.html
Today I finished tweaking the first draft of a pandemic projection model that simulates the spread of the coronavirus in the United States. The assumptions of the model are explained here, and you will find they are extremely conservative (using R0 value of just 1.82, for example).
The model’s predictions are nothing short of apocalyptic if the virus is allowed to spread without restraint across the United States. According to the model, there will be 2.16 million dead Americans by July 4th if domestic travel is not aggressively halted very soon (see the full projections below). This is not a prediction, since I believe that state governments and the federal government will intervene long before July 4th to declare, essentially, medical martial law.

The number of coronavirus cases outside China could jump tenfold every 19 days without 'strong intervention,' a study says

The number of coronavirus cases outside China could see a tenfold increase every 19 days in the absence of "strong intervention" by government officials worldwide, a study has found.
Chinese researchers believe that "34 unobserved founder patients" with "mild symptoms" triggered the spread of COVID-19 outside mainland China.
"The situation is dangerous" and "powerful actions on public health should be taken to combat this epidemic all over the world," according to the study.
Other experts like Harvard epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch have also issued warnings, stressing that COVID-19 could reach pandemic levels and infect around 3 billion people globally. [more]

Trump administration plan to sunset the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program would be 'devastating,' expert says
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/pslf-program-sunset-student-loans-135004757.html
The Trump administration’s plan to cancel the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) aimed at helping public service workers would be “devastating” to many, one expert said.
If the administration succeeds in axing the program, “ultimately I think we broke our promise to people that made a commitment to our country, to serve people, and I think that’s gonna be a really devastating thing if that ever happens,” Aoife Delargy Lowe, director of law school engagement and advocacy at D.C.-based nonprofit Equal Justice Works, told Yahoo Finance.
The “promise” made by Congress in 2007 was that if a student loan borrower joined the public service — such as in teaching, or nursing, or any form of government work — they would be entitled to have their student loans forgiven by the Education Department (ED) after they make 120 qualifying payments.
