Another blow dealt to public faith in scientific models

The random antibody testing of 3,000 people across the state of New York has delivered yet another blow to the faith we placed in the computer models that Governor Cuomo and President Trump used to shut down the economy and place all of America under virtual home detention.

The tests show 2.7 million in New York state have developed antibodies through exposure. Meaning, with 16,000 COVID-19 deaths, the state's mortality rate is a little less than 0.6 percent. Nowhere near as lethal as the dire 3.4 percent death rate the World Health Organization was billing early last month, and these figures will keep changing as more data comes to hand.

And it wasn't all because we are perfect practitioners of self-isolation and hand washing.

The President's coronavirus task force took into account those mitigation measures when it used an amalgam of models to predict that between 100,000 and 240,000 Americans likely would die.

A model from the University of Washington has since revised the projected death toll to 60,000 down from an initial 162,000.

Comment: "We're following the science!" claim believers in the Caroney-Baloney.

Well, 'science', as practiced, has been thoroughly corrupt for a long time now:

Best of the Web: Gov. Newsom instructs California coroners to examine deaths dating back to DECEMBER for COVID-19

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he is instructing coroners to examine whether people who died as far back as December were COVID-19-positive
gavin newsom covid-19
And yet he went 'full lockdown' on California
Gov. Gavin Newsom said 86 more people who had tested positive for the novel coronavirus died in California on Tuesday, bringing the statewide COVID-19 death toll to 1,354.

During his Wednesday press briefing, Newsom said the death toll increased by 6.8% over a 24-hour period and provided an indication deaths that took place as far back as December could eventually be added to the state's count.

Following an announcement from the Santa Clara County Public Health Department Tuesday that two individuals who posthumously tested positive for COVID-19 died at their homes in February, Newsom said he has instructed coroners around the state to "dig even deeper" and perform autopsies on individuals who may have died from the novel coronavirus as far back as December, 2019.


Comment: To be clear, the California governor is pushing this in order to find as many 'COVID-19 deaths' as possible in order to increase the death toll he can reasonably claim from 'the pandemic'.

But the real implication is that COVID-19-related deaths in his state in December would - at the very least - make Wuhan one of two or more simultaneous clusters, and possibly place an 'original' cluster in the USA, not China...

'The food supply chain is breaking,' Tyson Foods says as meat plants close

Comment: Yes, of course it is. It was obvious from the get-go that this would happen. We can only deduce that the elites are WILFULLY doing this...

Tyson Foods is warning that "millions of pounds of meat" will disappear from the supply chain as the coronavirus pandemic pushes food processing plants to close, leading to product shortages in grocery stores across the country.

"The food supply chain is breaking," wrote board chairman John Tyson in a full-page advertisement published Sunday in The New York Times, Washington Post and Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

US farmers don't have anywhere to sell their livestock, he said, adding that "millions of animals — chickens, pigs and cattle — will be depopulated because of the closure of our processing facilities."

"There will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed," Tyson wrote.

Tyson Foods, which employs roughly 100,000 workers, closed its pork plants in Waterloo, Iowa, and Logansport, Indiana, last week so that workers in those facilities could be tested for the virus.

Comment: The supply chains began breaking in early March when farmers plowed under an entire year's supply of crops. Next winter, don't be surprised to see famine across the Western world.

What is the ultimate form of control if not control of people's hunger?

Nationwide protests scheduled for May 1st in the US

A growing number of groups in US states are preparing protests against the lockdowns on May 1.

I've found two sites that are publishing information on the protests.

American Revolution 2.0

Open The States

Check out your state and see what's upcoming.

As far as I can tell, this is not a top-down single-leader movement. It's a state by state proposition. That would be a good thing. Groups in each state should run their own operations.

Here is a quote from American Revolution 2.0:
Governor Executive Orders violate the United States Constitution and negate the responsibility of individual citizens for their 'Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness'. The precedent set by removing these Constitutional Rights is staggering and to date unheard of.
Of course, agencies like the CDC and the World Health Organization appoint themselves the "new global governance." Their job is painting as bleak a picture as possible, making it seem that, without their top-down control, the population of Earth would be decimated.

Millions of chickens to be culled in US as lockdown disrupts processing plants

A significant concern that readers should have during an economic collapse and pandemic is food security. We've noted over April that troubling news is developing deep inside America's food supply chain network, suggesting shortages and rapid food inflation could be ahead.

The reason behind the disruptions begins with meatpacking plants across the country are shuttering operations because of virus-related issues. At the moment, we've reported at least 10-12 large operations have gone offline in the last several weeks, which could result in pork shortages in the first or second week in May.

"Almost a third of U.S. pork capacity is down, the first big poultry plants closed on Friday and experts are warning that domestic shortages are just weeks away," reported Bloomberg.

Comment: People will not be happy when they're going hungry because food was needlessly destroyed over a pandemic that never was:

Ukraine busts 'human trafficking ring' that sold BABIES to Chinese 'single men of certain orientation'

Ukrainian police have raided a private reproductive clinic that has been allegedly "selling babies" to China. While the suspects are accused of "human trafficking," surrogate motherhood is a legal gray area in Ukraine.

The scandalous case was brought to light by the country's interior ministry late on Saturday. The police broke up a "human-trafficking" ring that was centered at a private reproductive clinic in Kiev.

Further details on the case were shared by the Deputy Interior Minister Anton Gerashenko on his Facebook page. The ring involved the head of the clinic, her son, as well as two other Ukrainian and three Chinese nationals. They were charged with human trafficking that may lead to 12 years in prison with property confiscation.

The majority of the clinic's clients were single Chinese males of "certain orientation," as Gerashenko put it. While the exact number of trafficked babies remains unknown, at least 140 more Chinese nationals are under investigation, the official added.

Repeated failures indicate it's time to dump current epidemic models

"The ... crisis we face is unparalleled in modern times," said the World Health Organization's assistant director, while its director general proclaimed it "likely the greatest peacetime challenge that the United Nations and its agencies have ever faced." This was based on a CDC computer model projection predicting as many as 1.4 million deaths from just two countries.

So when did they say this about COVID-19? Trick question: It was actually about the Ebola virus in Liberia and Sierra Leone five years ago, and the ultimate death toll was under 8,000.

With COVID-19 having peaked (the highest date was April 4), despite the best efforts of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to increase numbers by first saying any death with the virus could be considered a death from the virus and then again this week by saying a positive test isn't even needed, you can see where this is going.

Since the AIDS epidemic, people have been pumping out such models with often incredible figures. For AIDS, the Public Health Service announced (without documenting) there would be 450,000 cases by the end of 1993, with 100,000 in that year alone. The media faithfully parroted it. There were 17,325 by the end of that year, with about 5,000 in 1993. SARS (2002-2003) was supposed to kill perhaps "millions," based on analyses. It killed 744 before disappearing.

USA Today Fact Check: Hospitals are paid more if patients are listed as COVID-19 and are on ventilators

Dr. Scott Jensen, a senator and physician in Minnesota, was interviewed by "The Ingraham Angle" host Laura Ingraham on April 8 on Fox News and claimed hospitals get paid more if Medicare patients are listed as having COVID-19 and get three times as much money if they end up needing a ventilator.

While his claim originated during an interview on Fox News, it was published on April 9 by The Spectator, a conservative publication and syndicator. WorldNetDaily shared it on April 10 and, according to Snopes, a related meme was shared on social media in mid-April.

Jensen took it to his own Facebook page on April 15, saying, in part:
"How can anyone not believe that increasing the number of COVID-19 deaths may create an avenue for states to receive a larger portion of federal dollars. Already some states are complaining that they are not getting enough of the CARES Act dollars because they are having significantly more proportional COVID-19 deaths."
On April 19, he doubled down on his assertion via video on his Facebook page.

Coronavirus patients at a Brooklyn nursing home were denied admission to both of the medical facilities established in New York to handle victims of the pandemic even though beds were mostly empty.

The New York Post obtained access to email from the CEO of the Cobble Hill Health Center to state officials seeking to relocate sick residents.

"We don't have the ability to cohort right now based on staffing and we really want to protect our other patients," Cobble Hill CEO Donny Tuchman wrote in the chain of the emails.

"He was denied," the Post reported.

"I was told those facilities were only for hospitals" to send their overflow patients.
