Mountains of unsold vegetables 'rot in the sun' due to restaurant closures in Florida


Comment: Same thing's happening in Europe too. It's particularly tragic because broken supply chains in the economy will soon lead to food shortages and people going hungry. And that's before ongoing crop failures due to extreme weather kick up a gear...

Many South Florida farmers are saying that the coronavirus pandemic has caused them to have to throw crops away due to less demand for produce in stores and restaurants.
Though people have been buying up groceries at almost apocalyptic rates, mountains of unsold vegetables in Florida - squash, zucchini, tomatoes - were left to rot due to restaurant closures.

"Thousands of acres of fruits and vegetables grown in Florida are being plowed over or left to rot because farmers can't sell to restaurants, theme parks or schools nationwide that have closed because of the coronavirus," reports The Associated Press. "Other states are having the same issues — agriculture officials say leafy greens in California are being hit especially hard, and dairy farmers in Vermont and Wisconsin say they have had to dump a surplus of milk intended for restaurants."

Effect of 'flattening the curve' logic: Trillion$ lost for delaying 1,800 deaths by a few weeks

I've been following the many changes in the IHME coronavirus model used by our very own most incompetent Dr. Fauci. (In passing, let me note that he's been wrong about most everything from the start — from first saying it was not a problem, to predicting 200,000 deaths in the US (based on an earlier version of this model), to advising people to NOT wear masks, to opposing chloroquine. But I digress ...)

The IHME model is here, and it's well worth a look, although not worth too much trust — it's been wrong too many times. To their credit they've put the results online here.

Another problem with it is that the presentation of the data is so good. It's good enough that it's hard not to take it as fact.

Comment: At this point, we're down to one of two conclusions on the Coroney Baloney. Either world leaders all simultaneously lost the plot and developed a sudden death wish in the form of mass uprisings, or they're under 'orders' from some secret cabal to prevent this virus spreading because it's good for people, not because it's fatal.

Prisoners riot over hysterisized coronavirus tensions

More than 100 inmates at a facility in Washington state created a disturbance over an outbreak of COVID-19 in a low-security wing of the prison.

Prisoners began to demonstrate in the recreation yard at Monroe Correctional Complex on April 8, setting off fire extinguishers.

Pepper spray, sting balls and rubber pellets were used to bring the situation under control, the state Department of Corrections confirmed. There were no injuries to the inmates or staff involved.

The incident is believed to have been caused by an outbreak of COVID-19 among six men within the facility's Minimum Security Unit.

The men were transferred to the prison's isolation unit and are being monitored by a health care team.

Comment: Are they genuinely scared of 'dying from COVID-19', or are they gaming the system because they've heard that prison riots elsewhere have led to govts emptying prisoners onto the streets?

Michigan bans travel between residences


Comment: Return to your prisons immediately. Do not socialize. Obey your government.

After Friday, Michigan residents will no longer be able to jump in the car — or cross the street — to visit friends and relatives inside the state, or to go to the cottage Up North, with limited exceptions.

That is one of the major changes in Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's "stay home" order, issued Thursday, which also extends the expiration of the order to May 1.

Until now, travel between two Michigan residences has been permitted.

Beginning Saturday morning, that will end, except for purposes such as caring for a relative, an elderly friend, or a pet, visiting a nursing home or similar facility, attending a funeral with no more than 10 people, or complying with a court order related to child custody.

Dr. Ted Noel torches fabricated COVID death tally: 'The statistics are just plain lies'

A retired physician tears into the COVID doomsday cult

Dr. Ted Noel is a physician who worked for 32 years in clinical medicine. Like so many of his colleagues in the medical field, Noel has taken to YouTube to denounce the truly unprecedented and mindless policies adopted worldwide, allegedly in a bid to "contain" Covid-19. Specifically addressing the situation in the United States, the doctor notes that choosing "stay at home" hashtags over herd immunity will accomplish little aside from making this health crisis worse.

Furthermore, the figures being used to terrify Americans into compliance are complete baloney:
It seems that if you are anywhere near Covid-19 and you die in the hospital, they're counting your death as a Covid-19 death. When in fact, you may have Covid-19 coincidental to your congestive heart failure, or your chronic lung disease, or your chronic coronary disease, or run the list. There's a long list of diseases of the elderly that ultimately lead to death. I'm sorry, but the statistics are just plain lies. That's what they are.

Medical tyranny: Citing parents rights, Colorado Republicans vote against any vaccination requirements, despite virus

vaccine
As scientists across the globe are racing to develop a vaccine against COVID-19, Republicans in key Colorado counties voted overwhelmingly in recent weeks against any state vaccination requirements for children or anyone else.

In a platform position passed by a 58 to 19 vote last week, the Adams County, Colorado, Republican Party, condemned "any form of mandated vaccinations."

Asked about the plank, JoAnn Windholz, Chair of the Adams County Republican Party, told the Colorado Times Recorder that the resolution was about the "parents' right to choose what's best for their children," and it would apply to "any type of shot."

Former Republican Texas Rep. Ron Paul called for President Donald Trump to fire his top coronavirus adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci.

The two-time Republican presidential candidate said on his show Thursday that if Trump doesn't fire Fauci, "the people have to fire him" instead.

"He should be fired, but if you don't do it in the literal sense, the people have to fire him," Paul said. "They have to fire him by saying 'he's a fraud.'"

Paul accused Fauci of wanting "total control" over the American people.

Best of the Web: Nobody knows anything: West doesn't trust China's Covid-19 data, but how meaningful are its own numbers?

Whatever the eventual impact of the coronavirus, one thing has become apparent: when governments are the gatekeepers of data-gathering, there is no reliable source of information on the scale of the pandemic.

It did not take long for a war of information to break out over the true extent of Covid-19. Every morning, we wake up to the freshest figures for our own country. Another few hundred or thousand new cases, depending on where you live, and a fraction as many deaths. Every day, the colour-coded curves corresponding to the cases in various countries creep one day further into the future, like breakers approaching a beach.

But there is no way of comparing different countries' statistics, based as they are on processes so riddled with holes and flaws that they may as well be guesswork. Obviously, comparing Italy and Belarus is comparing apples with oranges - the populations and the timelines of the pandemics in these countries are wildly different, so inferring results from their response plans is pointless.

Comment: While each country uses different methods of testing and reporting, another more insidious issue is the concerted effort to inflate the number of infections and mortality rates in order to convince the masses that the police state measures being enforced are necessary.

China's foreign trade improved in March, but outlook for global trade remains grim

China exports Covid-19
© XinhuaChina exported 10.2 billion yuan (US$1.4 billion) worth of protective medical equipment between March 3 and April 4, including 3.86 billion masks and 37.52 million protective suits, according to data from the Ministry of Commerce.
China's imports and exports improved in March after the coronavirus outbreak caused a dramatic collapse in the first two months of 2020, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.

But the outlook for China's exports remained gloomy given the economic damage being done by the continued spread of the virus globally. Some Chinese exporters, especially textile, apparel and automotive firms as well as, have been hit particularly hard by shrinking global demand caused by the pandemic, with export orders delayed or cancelled, the ministry said.

"Imports and exports have shown a certain improvement in March, according to feedback from various regions and industries," said commerce ministry spokesman Gao Feng on Thursday, with China set to officially release March trade data on Tuesday. "But at the same time, the impact of the global epidemic on the world economy and international trade is gradually emerging."

Comment: What the author hesitates to mention is that the globalist's command to shut down the world economy is the reason for the grim outlook - not the virus itself. However, the results of their machinations may not be exactly what they intended:
