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.

2020-04-02 - Rare ozone hole opens over the Arctic, likely the largest in history:
http://watchers.news/2020/04/03/rare-ozone-hole-opens-over-the-arctic-likely-the-largest-in-history/
Quote: "The depletion of the ozone layer in the Arctic has only been recorded twice-- in 1997 and 2011. 'There are some indications that it might be worse than in 2011,' said Gloria Manney, an atmospheric scientist with NorthWest Research Associates."
Note: So this had never happened before 1997, then it happened again 14 years later and now again, 9 years later after the second occurrence. That's a small sample size, but ozone depletion events in the Arctic appear to be increasing in frequency. That timeframe also coincides with the rise of methane in the atmosphere, especially in the Arctic. Methane reacts with ozone to form H2O and CO2. The depletion of ozone will speed up ice melt and permafrost melt as more solar radiation hits the ground, which will increase the amount of methane entering the atmosphere, which will decrease the amount of ozone in the atmosphere, and so on and so on...

2020-04-02 - Coronavirus may pose an extra danger along coasts:
http://www.complex.com/life/2020/04/scientist-warns-against-swimming-ocean-during-coronavirus-pandemic
http://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-02/coronavirus-ocean-swimming-surfing-safe-beaches-los-angeles
Quote: "Kim Prather—an atmospheric scientist who specializes in viruses and bacteria that discharge from the ocean—has said people should refrain from surfing, swimming, walking, or biking along the coast, TMZ reports. She explained that the virus could enter the water and spray back into the air. 'Surfers are saying that they’re safe if they stay 6 feet away from other people, but that’s only true if the air isn’t moving,' Prather told The San Diego Union-Tribune. 'Most of the time, there’s wind or a breeze at the coast. Tiny drops of virus can float in the air and get blown around.'"
Note: Even if that's not true, there are other dangers on coasts that can leave you dead...
2020-04-02 - Another 6.6 million people file for unemployment in the US after 3.3 million people did so the week before:
http://www.cnn.com/2020/04/02/economy/unemployment-benefits-coronavirus/index.html
Quote: "The last three weeks have marked one of the most devastating periods in history for the American job market, as first-time claims for unemployment benefits have surged more than 3,000% since early March. Businesses continue to lay off and furlough workers amid the coronavirus outbreak. 6.6 million US workers filed for their first week of unemployment benefits in the week ending March 28, according to the Department of Labor — a new historic high."
Note: The total for the past two weeks is 9,955,000 people filing for unemployment, so just shy of 10 million people. The US has never seen so many people lose so many jobs so quickly, not even in the Great Depression...

Martenson explains it in detail (some of it infuriating, as he explains how corporate America gets "made whole" no matter how many bad business decisions or bad bets they make on Wall Street, while all of the rest of us get left to our own devices).

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels show no signs of coming down following the COVID-19 lockdowns.
Record high CO₂ levels were reached at Mauna Loa, Hawaii, earlier this year and the rise appears to continue.
The image shows average daily levels up to early April, 2020. The highest annual CO₂ levels are typically reached in May, so it may take another month or so before the seasonal peak is reached. [more]

he was able to follow breadcrumbs - as begun by our inquisition about the roles that certain individuals played in Wuhan - to discover the "very suspicious" fact that the Wuhan Bio lab had a job opening from November 18, 2019, asking for scientists to come and research the relationship between the coronavirus and bats.
However, after ZeroHedge was permanently suspended from Twitter for daring to suggest anything but the official narrative handed down, laowhy86 notes that another job opening appeared on December 24th (remember this is before any news broke of the virus publicly), which basically says 'we've discovered a new and terrible virus and would like to recruit people to come deal with it'...
So, he decided to dig a little bit more into the staff... and that's where it gets interesting... as he discovers silenced scientists, disappeared doctors, and constant propaganda...
"Despite the CCP's all-powerful ability to hide everything it can, the truth usually finds its way out - the Chinese government should cover their tracks better next time if they're going to blame this on Italy or the US or whatever is convenient to your narrative."
"...the CCP's incompetence and its understanding of the danger of the virus on a pure scientific level - and then going on to silence those who wanted to warn the public... and letting the virus spread for months... is the reason the Chinese government must be held accountable!" [more]
Coronavirus has signs of being man-made - Czech Geneticist
https://www.sott.net/article/431880-Coronavirus-has-signs-of-being-man-made-Czech-Geneticist
The well-known Czech molecular geneticist and virologist Sonia Pekova says that one cannot exclude the possibility that the coronavirus that caused the global pandemic was created artificially.
"I believe that this cannot be ruled out. It behaves very unusual. There are a finite number of viruses that infect humans in the world. We can usually guess by the symptoms of the disease which virus causes it. Of course, not 100%, but we can say: if the symptoms look like this, then this is most likely some kind of flu virus, when diarrhea is another type of virus, when a rash is one where we are looking for herpes viruses.
Therefore, when we know that the disease is caused by a coronavirus, it will have a certain course. But this coronavirus has a completely different picture, it's like a new type of disease," she said. [more]

Tropical Cyclone "Harold" remains active over the Solomon Sea after it made landfall over the San Cristobal Island on April 2, 2020. Following this, about 28 people aboard a ferry went missing due to rough seas. Harold is the 8th named storm of the 2019/20 South Pacific tropical cyclone season.
As of 13:00 UTC on Friday, April 3 (00:00 LT on April 4), the storm was located about 390 km (242 miles) west of Torres and 450 km (280 miles) west-northwest of Santo. The storm was moving in a southeasterly direction at 19 km/h (12 mph), with winds near the center estimated at 74 km/h (45 mph). It is expected to track directly to Vanuatu by Monday, April 6. [more]

The document from the House Ways and Means Committee says the IRS will make about 60 million payments to Americans through direct deposit in mid-April, likely the week of April 13. The IRS has direct deposit information for these individuals from their 2018 or 2019 tax returns.
Then, starting the week of May 4, the IRS will begin issuing paper checks to individuals, the memo says. The paper checks will be issued at a rate of about 5 million per week, which means it could take up to 20 weeks to get all the checks out. That timeline would delay some checks until the week of Aug. 17.

“Then again, it was not that late because they traced all these patients who got positive tests: where they visited and who they met. If they had visited supermarkets, shops or libraries, they closed those venues for two weeks and sanitised them.
“Also, they investigated all those people they had contacted and they had the same testing procedure.
“In the beginning, that was easier because more than 60% of the patients came out of a religious sect. It was much easier to get the data. When cases spread to other regions, again they were related those churchgoers.” [more]

How Long Does Coronavirus Live In The Air? Here's What We Know.
https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/how-long-coronavirus-lives-in-air-174541949.html [~ 4 min. lead-in video]
Part of the reason the coronavirus is so frightening is its invisibility. We can’t see where it lingers and have no idea if we’re coming into contact with it. Sure, we’re social distancing (if you’re not, you better start) but can we still encounter the virus in the air at the grocery store or outside?
We don’t yet have an in-depth understanding of the novel coronavirus, including how it’s transmitted through the air. But a recent preliminary study published in the New England Journal of Medicine gives us some clues.
Researchers examined how long the coronavirus lasted on surfaces like steel and plastic (up to three days ― yikes). They also looked at how long the virus stayed in the air in the form of an “aerosolized particle.”
Aerosolized particles are essentially microscopic, and they’re formed when fluids containing the virus are expelled from a person and cling to dust or moisture in the air and hang there. The researchers found that airborne coronavirus particles stayed floating for up to three hours before falling and clinging to a new surface. [more]

The nation could begin to see food shortages for some products if the people working on the supply chain lack personal protective equipment, warns an internal Trump administration document obtained by Yahoo News.
Empty supermarket shelves have become one of the most jarring images of the coronavirus pandemic, which has sickened 270,000 Americans and killed 7,000. But so far, there have been no food shortages, despite 90 percent of the American population being under state-enforced lockdown orders. [more]
