Never Waste A Crisis

Steve Milloy at Climate Realism - 11 hours ago
Coronavirus is a serious and unique global public health challenge that has crippled and shutdown much of the US and global economies with unprecedented speed and shock. Not surprisingly coronavirus alarm has pushed most other issues and concerns out of the news — much to the dismay of climate alarmists. But the alarmists aren’t taking […] The post Never Waste A Crisis appeared first on Climate Realism.

An Important Interview with an Italian nano-pathologist on Covid-19

greencrow at Greencrow As The Crow Flies - 11 hours ago
*Dr. Stefano Montanari, nano-pathologist* *H/T to the Truthseeker for posting this interview * Readers, important information on this viral debacle is coming thick and fast. It is hard to keep up and we cannot read everything. This, however, is a highly illuminating interview and I urge you to read it carefully. Particularly crucial are Dr. Montanari's comments on *the usefulness of face masks* to prevent spread of the virus...and his comments regarding the *propensity of the Covid-19 test to produce "false positives". * ********** *An Interview with an Italian nano-pathologist ... more »

Can This App Diagnose Coronavirus from a Cough?

Stephen Silver at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Technology, * A group of ten researchers and scientists from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh are working on building a web-based app to analyze the coughs of those with coronavirus systems. The team has been working on the app from home, with Carnegie Mellon closed since last month. Ever since the start of the coronavirus epidemic, a major concern has been the lack of available tests. In some parts of the U.S., even people showing clear symptoms of infection haven't necessarily been able to obtain a test. Now, a group of ten researchers and scientists f... more »

Why America Should Not Exclude Nicaragua From the CAFTA-DR Trade Agreement—Especially During the Coronavirus

Lourdes C. Bautista, Donald Boudreaux at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Lourdes C. Bautista, Donald Boudreaux* *Politics, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2Y7F96ULBO&share=true] Bad for democracy and for people's lives. In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, having a trade agreement in place is more critical than ever before. According to a study of latest U.S. Census Bureau data, “Nicaragua’s trade with the United States rose to $822.9 million through the first two months of 2020.” Besides the evident increase in trade, U.S. multinational companies such as Kimberly Clark—promoting brands li... more »

Can South Korea Safely Hold Elections During the Coronavirus Pandemic?

Jenny Town, Natalia Slavney at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Jenny Town, Natalia Slavney* *Politics, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC1EAF999E70&share=true] The world will learn from their experience on way or the other. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, elections have posed a complicated challenge. Hungary’s parliament, for instance, recently passed legislation that gave its prime minister the right to rule by decree (with no end date) and canceled all elections. Nagorno-Karabakh (the Republic of Artsakh) went ahead with its first round of in-person elections at the end of March... more »

Could a Mach 5 SR-72 Spy Plane Already Be in the Sky?

Caleb Larson at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * If anything about the SR-71 program can be gleaned, it is that the existence of the SR-72 will likely be unacknowledged for some time after it is operational. For all we know, the SR-72 could already be in the air. In the late 1990s, the SR-71 Blackbird — the world’s fastest, highest-flying plane ever — was retired. Perhaps preemptively. *Slow Satellites* Although satellite reconnaissance has largely overtaken the role of spy planes, they are not always a perfect solution, particularly when intelligence information is needed very quickly. Satellites c... more »

Would You Buy a Huawei OLED HDTV?

Stephen Silver at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Technology, * Not Coming Soon: If you live in the U.S., you won't likely be able to make that choice, it seems. Huawei is a major Chinese technology company that's long been highly controversial. A provider of telecom equipment and other services in China, the company's best-known consumer product is smartphones, but it's also a major player in 5G technology. Now, Huawei is preparing a push into OLED TV. According to the English-language Chinese gadget review site Gizchina, Huawei executive Richard Yu has taken to Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter, to sha... more »

Taiwan’s Success Against the Coronavirus Could Spur Greater U.S.-Taiwan Cooperation

Anthony B. Kim, Terry Miller at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Anthony B. Kim, Terry Miller* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] The TAIPEI Act, although introduced in Congress last year, is especially relevant in the context of the current global health crisis. Taiwan has had remarkable success in dealing with the coronavirus, with fewer than three-hundred confirmed cases and just two deaths as of March 28. Taipei isn’t just the name of Taiwan’s capital. It’s the name of an important piece of legislation that President Trump recently signed: the Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement Initiative (TAIPEI) Act.

One Cable Company Won't Come Inside Your Home Thanks to Coronavirus

Stephen Silver at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Technology, * Now that could be, well, difficult. Are cable technicians essential workers, during the coronavirus shutdowns? In the eyes of the federal government, yes. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security issued a guidance in late March which established an "advisory list" of workers who are part of what's called the "Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce." The list, while advisory but not holding the force of law, included a section for communications and information technology, thos... more »

How Morocco Is Taking On Coronavirus

Ahmed Charai at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Ahmed Charai* *Security, Africa* [image: Reuters] Moroccans have learned that to reach the horizon beyond the deadly virus that they must address the equality gap among themselves. In every country where COVID-19 strikes, it has laid bare the gap in equality that also plagues our world. The vulnerable and the poor are succumbing in larger numbers and struggling to survive economically, while the healthy and the privileged bear an enormous moral responsibility to others. Here in Morocco, we are all facing an unprecedented test—similar in some ways to more powerful countries, yet ... more »

America Is an Oil and Gas Superpower (And then Coronavirus and Price Wars Happened)

Jakob Puckett at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Jakob Puckett* *Economics, Americas* [image: reuters] Here are the tools the government can use. America’s energy boom over the last decade has brought about tremendous benefits. Households have saved $2,500 per year in lower all-around energy costs. Even better, America’s status as the world’s largest oil and gas producer has loosened autocratic petrostates’ dangerous grip on oil supplies. But, as with everything else these days, the coronavirus pandemic is threatening all of that. The decline in energy demand from an economy on lockdown and a price war by Russia and Saudi Ar... more »

What If the Coronavirus Recession Gets Worse Than Expected?

Jonathan Bydlak at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Jonathan Bydlak* *Economics, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2STF9U5TKC&share=true] What tools does the government have? Whenever the government substantially intervenes in the U.S. economy, you can bet there will be commentators worried about inflation. Nine times out of 10, I’d be inclined to agree. But not now. That’s because it’s increasingly apparent that we’re headed toward an economic downturn that will be deeper and longer-lasting than many commentators realize or are willing to admit. The shutdown of large se... more »

SR-71 Spy Plane: Still the Fastest Plane on Earth (But a Nightmare to Get Airborne)

Caleb Larson at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * The SR-71 was fast but fussy — getting the Blackbird into the sky took hours of preparation. Once it was airborne though, it set world records which stand today. The SR-71 was fast but fussy — getting the Blackbird into the sky took hours of preparation.

We Need a Coronavirus Vaccine. Patents Might Slow the Process.

Simon Lester, Bryan Mercurio at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Simon Lester, Bryan Mercurio* *Health, * The current system of drug production is based on the idea of patents, which are temporary monopolies over a particular process or product granted to inventors for a defined time period. That monopoly creates incentives for companies to invent new products by letting them charge prices above what would be available in a free market. As a result, medicines are one of the most lucrative areas for successful inventors. But will this work in the age of Coronavirus? The COVID-19 coronavirus has become a global pandemic. With infection and fa... more »

Wiesel: Germany's Killer Mini-Tanks That Has Been Forgotten

Caleb Larson at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * Though tankettes have become almost ineffective on today’s battlefields, Germany’s Bundeswehr still fields the both the Wiesel 1 and Wiesel 2, though their long-term effectiveness is questionable. While German tank design is perhaps best known for their World War II armor supremacy, or success in exporting Leopards post-Cold War, the smallest in the Bundeswehr’s inventories is worth a look. *Wiesel 1* The first Wiesel (weasel in English) was designed in the late 1970s by the German manufacturing firm Rheinmetall to provide West German paratroopers wi... more »

Moon Jae-in's War Against Coronavirus: What Do the Voters Think?

Mitchell Blatt at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Mitchell Blatt* *Politics, * When the coronavirus outbreak hit South Korea, it looked like that would be yet another setback for Korean President Moon Jae-in, whose Democratic Party is trying to hold onto plurality control of the National Assembly in elections that take place April 15. But a systematic response that included mass testing, localized mobile alerts, and an aggressive regime of quarantining arriving passengers have succeeded in flattening the curve and, if polls are to be trusted, limiting Moon’s electoral liability. When the coronavirus outbreak hit South Korea, it... more »

PLEASE STOP WITH THE 5G NONSENSE

Denis Rancourt at Activist Teacher - 11 hours ago
Too many people are asking me to give my opinion about this, as a scientist, so here goes. 5G electromagnetic frequencies and the 5G emission technology themselves do NOT constitute "evil technology" that can be used, as deployed, to depopulate the world, or make you sick, or affect your psychological state, or make you more vulnerable to infections, etc. That is crazy shit, polluting your

The US Should Fight COVID-19, Not Venezuela

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
It seemed as though Venezuela was finally moving forward towards a negotiated solution to its political crisis, yet the naval deployment may sabotage the dialogue, as it was partially designed to do. The other purposes of the deployment were to distract from COVID-19 at home and to take advantage of the epidemic in order to increase the pressure on the Maduro government. It was a bizarre scene that played out on April 1 during the press conference announcing the deployment. CNN was covering the conference live, believing it to be about the pandemic; this belief was reasonable, as ... more »

The Rap Sheets Of The Big Ventilator Producers

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
Earlier this year, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in South Carolina announced that a company called ResMed had agreed to pay more than $37 million to settle allegations under the False Claims Act that it illegally paid kickbacks to promote sales of equipment used to treat sleep apnea. The case did not receive much attention at the time, but ResMed, which also produces ventilators, is now one of the companies involved in the controversy over the distribution of equipment that hospitals desperately need to save lives during the coronavirus pandemic.

New York State Pays Up To 15 Times The Normal Prices For Medical Equipment

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
With the coronavirus outbreak creating an unprecedented demand for medical supplies and equipment, New York state has paid 20 cents for gloves that normally cost less than a nickel and as much as $7.50 each for masks, about 15 times the usual price. It’s paid up to $2,795 for infusion pumps, more than twice the regular rate. And $248,841 for a portable X-ray machine that typically sells for $30,000 to $80,000. This payment data, provided by state officials, shows just how much the shortage of key medical equipment is driving up prices. Forced to venture outside their usual vendors... more »

An All-American Urge To Offer Corporate Welfare

To say that these are unprecedented times would be the understatement of the century. Even as the United States became the latest target of Hurricane COVID-19, in “hot spots” around the globe a continuing frenzy of health concerns represented yet another drop down the economic rabbit hole. Stay-at-home orders have engulfed the planet, encompassing a majority of Americans, all of India, the United Kingdom, and much of Europe. A second round of cases may be starting to surface in China.

A Primer on Asian Americans

Frank Wu at Diverse - 11 hours ago
Asian Americans fight against “the perpetual foreigner syndrome.” That is the sentiment that no matter how much they try to be American — or in fact have always been American — they must be secretly loyal to another nation. The suggestion to some Asian Americans to take opportunities for proving their patriotism is to them only another infuriating indication that they face bias. They are being told they, unlike others, need to overcome doubt about the matter

SOCIOPATH-IN-CHIEF?: Lack of empathy, unhinged attacks!

*TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 2020All the president's symptoms:* In last Saturday's matinee performance, the sheer stupidity of Donald Trump's claims occasionally provided some comic relief. The rare matinee performance began at 4:15 PM Eastern. Before long, the president was reciting one of his favorite monologues—the one about the way the fiendishly dishonest governors have been making absurd requests. Governor Cuomo was named without being named.

How CEOs Are Ruining AmericaToday, America’s wealthiest business...

Robert Reich - 11 hours ago
*How CEOs Are Ruining America* Today, America’s wealthiest business moguls – like Jamie Dimon, head of JPMorgan Chase – claim that they are “patriots before CEOs” because they employ large numbers of workers or engage in corporate philanthropy. Rubbish. CEOs are in business to make a profit and maximize their share prices, not to serve America. And yet these CEOs dominate American politics and essentially run the system. Therein lies the problem: They cannot be advocates for their corporations and simultaneously national leaders responsible for the wellbeing of the country. Th... more »

Republicans Insist Churches Are Essential Businesses-- Even As Congregations Become Hot-Beds Of COVID-19 Infection

*Failure by Nancy Ohanian* Since the shutdown here in L.A., gun shops have been busier than usual, sometimes with long lines snaking down the street in front of them.
