Covid-19 death rate...
The death rate of #COVID19.— Eastern Lion 东方军事爱好者 (@Sunkway_China) March 15, 2020
China: 3.95%
Italy: 6.81%
Iran: 4.80%
South Korea: 0.91%
USA: 2.06%
Spain: 3.05%
France:2.02%
Germany: 0.2%
Japen: 2.80%
Low death rate could be a result of good medical condition, but also a symbol of fast spread.#Coronavirus
Interesting. I'm still at a loss on this. We keep hearing the threat is low but the actions taken continue to ramp up. Voluntary business closure? Restaurants and bars closing? We're rapidly approaching a shut down that will only leave supermarkets open.
This thing is threatening the US/Global economy and we don't have a REAL REASON why such actions are being taken.
I still believe this is a weaponized virus that got loose. I still believe that examination of the thing reveals a real threat of mutation into something more dangerous.
In short I think someone has looked at this thing and is worried that we're looking at a Spanish Flu part 2 scenario.

Wow.
The outreach to stop this latest move by Turkey seems to be expanding. This bears watching. The Coronavirus and this too? Never push people too hard. Especially the gentle ones. Those are the type that can become the most feral.
Europe is a gentle soul (in the modern era) but I'm a bit worried that they're being pushed a bit and will find their teeth.
If that happens then that really would be a paradigm changing event.
Imagine a world where Europe fully militarized. That acted as a federalized state instead of a union of nations. Imagine a Europe that embraced Russia, banished forever Turkey and became 100% Eurocentric.
The EU-MegaState could become the most powerful force on the planet. They would supplant the rise of China and would probably surpass the US in just a decade or two. It might be morbid but think of a united Europe, democratized, pluralistic, militaristic but without the baggage of its past.
Who am I fooling. Never happen.
The Heaviest Tracked Amphibian Ever Built
 | |||
| The Heaviest Tracked Amphibian Ever Built | At 306 US tons (277.6 metric tons) fully loaded and 204 US tons (185 metric tons) dry, the Crawler-Crusher is the fourth heaviest amphibious vehicle of all time. It is surpassed only by the Aist-class LCAC hovercraft at 302.8 metric tons fully loaded, the Saunders-Roe N.4 Mk.III passenger hovercraft, at around 320 metric tons, and the Zubr-class LCAC hovercraft, which can weigh over 500 tons when fully loaded. The Crawler-Crusher is by far the largest and heaviest tracked amphibian of all time, vastly surpassing all other conventionally- (non-hovercraft) powered amphibious vehicles. For such a heavy vehicle, the Crawler-Crusher was surprisingly buoyant, able to float in just 7 feet 10 inches (2.38 m) of water. In terms of overall dimensions, the Crawler-Crusher was 58 feet (17.7 m) long, 24 feet (7.3 m) wide, and 22 feet (6.7 m) tall. | Powered by 2x Caterpillar D432 270 hp Diesel Engines, 540 hp total |
National Emergency Declared. Do you still believe you have all the data points? All the information? Still think its nothing?
Trump declared a national emergency.
With that declaration the US govt just unleashed ASTONISHING power over its citizenry in ways that the news media has HARDLY informed the average person about and no where (that I've seen) is anyone discussing it.
I'll touch on it a very little here.
With the declaration of a national emergency the US president can...
1. Deploy the military on US soil.
2. Suspend ordinary civil liberties.
3. Apprehend (or in this case)/quarantine any individual that meets a certain criteria that the govt determines to be applicable.
4. Ability to seize certain private assets/nationalize industry.
And that's just a VERY few that I'm jamming out before I run to the gym.
Many readers have continued to downplay the ramifications of this virus. You should not be fooled. We aren't getting all the information but you can bet your left nutt that with the extraordinary actions by govts all over the world that this is a major event.
Common virus my ass. Easily recovered from by the majority of people...I'm beginning to doubt.
The actions don't NOT meet the statements being issued from not only Trump but by other leaders around the world.
What do I think? Not sure anymore. But I do believe we're looking at a Spanish Flu type scenario. I truly believe that this is round one. I also believe that the 30 day suspension of activity that is being implemented nationwide is simply wishful thinking. I truly fear this could drag on for months.

DESPICABLE! China Government Spokesman Says U.S. Army Might Have Bought Virus to China
via Reuters.
BEIJING (REUTERS) - Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian wrote on his Twitter account on Thursday that the U.S. military might have brought the coronavirus to the Chinese city of Wuhan, which has been hardest hit by the outbreak.PATHETIC.
"When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!" Zhao tweeted in English.

DESPICABLE.
But expected behavior from an outlaw govt that our corporations have sold their souls to.
I'm almost positive (considering the reaction of the Chinese initially and world govts later) that this is a weaponized virus.
The Chinese were sloppy and they let it get into the wild.
Wow! Poland and Austria send Special Forces Units to backup Greece forces at the border...
#EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 Special forces #Austria 🇦🇹 and #Poland 🇵🇱 reached the Greek-Turkish border in #Evros to back up Greek authorities to face the migration crisis created by #Turkey. #IStandWithGreece pic.twitter.com/R1zj6H42yY— Nic 🇬🇷 (@NicAthens) March 12, 2020
Just plain wow.
I was wondering if Europe as going to let Greece stand alone against the latest move by Turkey and at least a couple of countries are deciding to act.
Poland I kinda figured would be one of the first to move. Didn't see Austria. Thought it would be The Netherlands. Regardless this is interesting.
The country to watch? Any of the former Eastern Bloc nations, France and/or Germany. The former Eastern Bloc nations because they're usually hardcore with regard to immigration from the Middle East/Africa. France because they want to be the military leader of the EU and Germany because I believe they're needing to ease public displeasure with immigration.
