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.

http://www.thebigwobble.org/2020/03/covid-19-day-72-mar-11th-us-cases-rise.html
Quote: "More than 1,000 people in the United States have been diagnosed with the novel coronavirus, according to an unofficial count compiled by researchers at Johns Hopkins University. The 1000th case was reported on Tuesday night, as state and local officials in California and New York began enacting aggressive new measures to contain and mitigate the spread of the virus."
Quote: "Also on Tuesday, Massachusetts declared a state of emergency as officials there announced that the number of confirmed cases in the state had leaped to 92, most of them linked to a biotech firm's strategy meeting in Boston."
Quote: "During a news conference in February, when the number of U.S. cases stood at just 15, Trump predicted the tally would drop to zero 'within a couple of days.'"
2020-03-10 - Congressional doctor expects 70-150 million people in the US will contract coronavirus:
http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/national-international/congressional-doctor-expects-70m-to-150m-people-in-us-will-contract-coronavirus/2322892/
Note: With around 10% of people coming down with serious or critical symptoms, that'll be 7-15 million people needing hospital care to stay alive. We have 300,000 beds available, so the other 6.7 million to 14.7 million people will have to be sent home to die. It could be even worse than that. That explains cities dusting off their mass grave strategies and stuff like that...

Thank you Jonny, for all your work - tirelessly collating and disseminating all this REAL news every day for us all. i appreciate you allowing me to comment here with tangentially related information, news stories and my bullshit opinion (that no one should care about).
ReplyDeleteAs we get deeper into this crisis, my doominess will probably increase, and my opinions about the situation will become darker, i'm sure. No one should take anything i say as anything more than "Tom's opinion, for what it's worth." i don't mean to scare anyone or motivate anyone to do anything other than THINK about it. Our lives are our own to do as we see fit.
i cancelled my classes for today, and am planning to only teach on-line for the remainder of the semester (early May), since my school is dragging its feet about closing, when Villanova, right up the street from us closed yesterday (you could walk to their campus from ours in 5 min.). i don't trust the administration, though they mean well. The problem is that their world view is drastically different from mine. They already have plans into 2022, where i see the entire educational system, as well as most of the rest of it, collapsing into chaos before the end of the year. Mike and i speculated a few months ago (before the virus became a huge deal) that this might be "the year" and now i firmly believe it. i think most of your readers will agree before long, if they aren't there already.
Ok, let's get to some news after a brief comment about one of the stories you link to above.

Fear Of The Coronavirus Is Causing A Stock Market Apocalypse
ReplyDeletehttp://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/fear-of-the-coronavirus-is-causing-a-stock-market-apocalypse
In all of U.S. history, we have never seen the Dow Jones Industrial Average go from an all-time high to a bear market as quickly as we just did. As I keep reminding my readers, the stock market is all about how investors view the future. Early this year, extremely irrational optimism about the future pushed stock prices to the most overvalued levels that we have ever seen, but now things have completely changed. Fear of the coronavirus has many investors fearing an imminent economic crisis, and we have seen volatility on Wall Street that is absolutely insane. On Monday we witnessed the largest single day point decline in the history of the Dow, on Tuesday stocks came roaring back, and then on Wednesday we witnessed the second largest single day point decline in the history of the Dow. As I have previously explained numerous times, we see huge waves of momentum during any stock market crash, and I am sure we will see many more as this current implosion continues to play out.
On Wednesday, the Dow closed at 23553.22, which represented a 20.3 percent decline from the peak on February 12th.
The bull market that began on March 9th, 2009 has finally ended, and U.S. stocks are off to their worst start for a year since the last financial crisis.
But less than 5,000 people around the globe have died from this virus so far.
If we are seeing this much fear now, what is going to happen if millions of people start dying? [more; which is EXPECTED!]

The Plagues of Iran 2020! Record-rains, Record-snowfall, Record locust invasion and the third biggest number of Covid-19 cases: Guilty of lying and downing Airlines flight: General Qassem Soleimani assassinated
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thebigwobble.org/2020/03/the-plagues-of-iran-record-rains-record.html
Iran just can't catch a break, heavy rains since February 24th have caused chaos to many villages and farms, displacing hundreds. More heavy rain is expected throughout March and April. Last April, unprecedented floods killed more than 80 people and damaged or destroyed 100,000 homes in Iran.
The rains are helping the swarms of locusts who are devasting crops in the southwest (southern Khuzestan, Busherh, southern Fars, western Hormozgan provinces). New swarms are expected to hatch later this week and form hopper bands. Local breeding continues in the southeast where hoppers are forming groups and bands in eastern Hormozgan. TBW

The polar ice caps are melting six times faster than in the 1990s, according to the most complete analysis to date.
The ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica is tracking the worst-case climate warming scenario set out by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), scientists say. Without rapid cuts to carbon emissions the analysis indicates there could be a rise in sea levels [no, that won't actually help now - it's too late and already locked in!] that would leave 400 million people exposed to coastal flooding each year by the end of the century.

[not "could", ARE COLLAPSING!]
If put under the kind of environmental stress increasingly seen on our planet, large ecosystems —such as the Amazon rainforest or the Caribbean coral reefs—could collapse in just a few decades, according to a study released today in Nature Communications.
In the case of Amazon forests, stressors could cause collapse in just 49 years. In Caribbean coral reefs, it could take as little as 15 years. [we won't be around to see it]
“Humanity now needs to prepare for changes in ecosystems that are faster than we previously envisaged through our traditional linear view of the world, including across Earth ‘s largest and most iconic ecosystems, and the social–ecological systems that they support,” the authors wrote.
Larger ecosystems are made up of smaller “sub-systems” of species and habitats, which provide some resilience against rapid change. However, once these smaller systems start to collapse, the new study finds the large ecosystems as a whole fall apart much faster than previously expected.

ReplyDeleteCoronavirus is confirmed in Brooklyn, NY
OMG: They're Going to LET COVID-19 SPREAD . . . . Intentionally!
http://robinwestenra.blogspot.com/2020/03/coronavirus-is-confirmed-in-brooklyn-ny.html
Public health leaders in Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties say their departments will no longer recommend isolation or quarantine for people exposed to someone with COVID-19, as they now will focus on reducing the risk to populations at the greatest risk of dying from the respiratory illness.
If anyone had "conspiracy-theory" thoughts that this virus was already being allowed to spread INTENTIONALLY - this should remove all doubt.
In an interview Monday, Dr. Peter Beilenson, head of Sacramento County’s Department of Health Services, said public health officials quarantined the sick and those who came into close contact with them as a way to slow spread of the disease, but as the number of cases increase statewide, public health has to acknowledge that those measures aren’t enough.
“Once you get a certain number of cases, it’s hard to continue to contact-trace back the way you tried originally,” Beilenson said, “so we move to mitigation, which is basically trying to mitigate the risk to those who are most at risk: the elderly and those with chronic underlying conditions.” [No, ya moron! LET THEM DIE and focus on the YOUNG who are sick (< 60 for example)! Why waste time and resources trying to keep us OLD PEOPLE around? The young will recover faster and more often and can still provide a workforce!]
In a joint statement, Placer and Yolo officials said: “With community spread, public health departments must now shift their efforts to community mitigation measures that will slow the spread of COVID-19 in the community, protect those who are most vulnerable to severe illness, and allow the health care system to prepare resources to take care of severely ill patients. Like a handful of other counties in California, Placer and Yolo counties will now enter this new phase.” [more; further down, Hal advises citizens of NY to get ready to bug-out before the end of next week.]

Drastic measures are being taken to curtail the spread of the new coronavirus in Montgomery County as the suburban Philadelphia county has become the epicenter for COVID-19 cases in Pennsylvania.
Gov. Tom Wolf ordered the closure of all schools, universities, gyms, entertainment venues and community centers in Montgomery County starting Friday.
Wolf also asked all non-essential retail stores to close.
The closures will last 14 days and start Friday, he said at a Thursday press conference.
Wolf ordered critical infrastructure to stay open, including all health care facilities, including urgent care locations and pharmacies.
Mass transit will also stay open, though Amtrak service from the Ardmore train station will stop for two weeks, and Amtrak will reduce its schedule in the county starting tomorrow. [more]

14th-century Italian advice on how to survive an epidemic
https://www.sott.net/article/430540-14th-century-Italian-advice-on-how-to-survive-an-epidemic
Giovanni Boccaccio's work taught citizens how to maintain mental wellbeing in times of epidemics and isolation.
Boccaccio's prescription for an epidemic was a good dose of "narrative prophylaxis". That meant protecting yourself with stories. Boccaccio suggested you could save yourself by fleeing towns, surrounding yourself with pleasant company and telling amusing stories to keep spirits up. Through a mixture of social isolation and pleasant activities, it was possible to survive the worst days of an epidemic.
Boccaccio's faith in the curative power of stories has been supported by dozens of studies of the impact storytelling has on our health.
Boccaccio also understood the crucial role of what we now call social networks in public health crises. For instance, a 2010 study by Nicolas Christakis found that the most popular undergraduate students at Harvard University were also the most likely to catch the flu. Students with sparse social networks, by contrast, were often spared. This suggests well-developed social networks can put our health at risk. [more]

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/coronavirus-test-shortage-183001071.html [~ 7.5 min. lead-in video]
The coronavirus pandemic has killed over 4,000 people around the world, affecting over 100 different countries. It is making its way through the U.S., impacting 35 states so far with over 1,300 confirmed cases.
There are likely far more cases that medical professionals aren’t aware of — and that’s because of the lack of available coronavirus testing kits from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The U.S. only has 10% of the tests that are needed. According to Forman, “the need will grow vastly. We need to go up to 100[%]. We need to go far beyond that.”

‘It’s Just Everywhere Already’: How Delays in Testing Set Back the U.S. Coronavirus Response
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/10/us/coronavirus-testing-delays.html
Dr. Helen Y. Chu, an infectious disease expert in Seattle, knew that the United States did not have much time.
In late January, the first confirmed American case of the coronavirus had landed in her area. Critical questions needed answers: Had the man infected anyone else? Was the deadly virus already lurking in other communities and spreading?
As luck would have it, Dr. Chu had a way to monitor the region. For months, as part of a research project into the flu, she and a team of researchers had been collecting nasal swabs from residents experiencing symptoms throughout the Puget Sound region.
To repurpose the tests for monitoring the coronavirus, they would need the support of state and federal officials. But nearly everywhere Dr. Chu turned, officials repeatedly rejected the idea, interviews and emails show, even as weeks crawled by and outbreaks emerged in countries outside of China, where the infection began.
By Feb. 25, Dr. Chu and her colleagues could not bear to wait any longer. They began performing coronavirus tests, without government approval.
What came back confirmed their worst fear. They quickly had a positive test from a local teenager with no recent travel history. The coronavirus had already established itself on American soil without anybody realizing it.
“It must have been here this entire time,” Dr. Chu recalled thinking with dread. “It’s just everywhere already.”
In fact, officials would later discover through testing, the virus had already contributed to the deaths of two people, and it would go on to kill 20 more in the Seattle region over the following days.

The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit since the late 1800s, according to NASA.

Most of this warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the five warmest years on record taking place since 2010.
