Extreme Panic Could Soon Hit USA

Extreme Panic Could Soon Hit USA thumbnail

U.S. government officials are doing their best to keep the general population calm, but everyone can see what is happening in the rest of the world.  There are now empty store shelves in Italy just like there are in China.  People are waiting in extremely long lines to buy masks in South Korea just like we saw in Hong Kong.  And victims are literally collapsing in public in Iran just like we witnessed in Wuhan.  This coronavirus outbreak is rapidly becoming a true global pandemic, and the panic that this has caused on Wall Street resulted in a 1,031 point drop for the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Monday.  Fear is rising all over the planet, and many believe that it is just a matter of time before the same things that are happening elsewhere start happening here.

Originally, 99 percent of the confirmed cases were in China, but now the rest of the globe is starting to catch up.

In fact, the number of confirmed cases outside of China has gotten more than 10 times larger over the last three weeks.

If we continue to see that sort of exponential growth we will soon be facing a nightmare of epic proportions.

In Italy, the number of confirmed cases went from a handful to 229 in just a matter of days.  Authorities are desperate to stop this sudden outbreak, and so at this point much of northern Italy is being shut down…

Checkpoints block entry to a dozen towns across northern Italy. Milan’s landmark cathedral and opera house lie empty. Venice’s Carnival was ordered closed two days early. Schools are shuttered, soccer matches called off.

Realizing that they may have to stay home for an extended period of time, many in northern Italy have been “panic buying” food…

People in several regions of Italy have reacted to coronavirus spreading throughout the country by panic buying, leaving some store shelves empty.

With 165 people infected, Italy has the most coronavirus victims out of any country in Europe. Five people have died.

Footage out of Milan shot yesterday shows some products almost or entirely out of stock.

Once this virus starts spreading rapidly inside the United States, the same thing will start happening here.

So you might want to take this opportunity to stock up on the things you will need while you still can.

In South Korea, the number of confirmed cases has now risen to 833, and the national government has raised the alert level to the highest possible level…

Meanwhile, South Korea reported another spike in new coronavirus cases on Monday, bringing its total to 833 cases with seven deaths. South Korean President Moon Jae-in has raised the national alert level for the virus to “highest,” the first time the country has done so in 11 years.

Just like we have seen elsewhere in Asia, demand for face masks is off the charts.  In fact, at one South Korean store there were literally “hundreds of people” lined up around the block to buy masks…

Aerial footage shows hundreds of people lining up around the block to buy face masks in Daegu as most of the new South Korean cases of coronavirus were traced to the city.

Here in the U.S., there will come a point where masks are not available for the general public at all if this outbreak gets bad enough.

So if you think that you may need masks, you should grab them now while you still can.

The other day my wife checked our local Home Depot, and there were only a few left on the shelves.  They are still available in most areas, but supplies are definitely getting tighter.

In Iran, it is being claimed that infected people are literally collapsing in the streets, and one Iranian politician is saying that the true death toll is far higher than the government is reporting…

CORONAVIRUS has claimed the lives of “50 people” in just one single Iranian city, a politician has claimed, accusing the government of covering up the true seriousness of the outbreak.

And one expert in infectious diseases has suggested the country could become a “hotspot” for “seeding” countries outside Iran with the virus, officially known as Covid-19. The Iranian Government this morning put the total number of deaths for the entire country at 12 – but Ahmad Amirabadi Farhani, a Parliamentary representative for the city of Qom, insisted the true figure was many times higher. The semi-official ILNA news agency reported Mr Farhani as saying: “Up until last night, around 50 people died from coronavirus. The health minister is to blame.”

Is that true?

Have approximately 50 people already died in Iran?

If that is accurate, that is an extremely ominous sign.

This certainly has the potential to become a truly horrifying global pandemic, and the World Health Organization is warning that the world is “not ready for a major outbreak”…

As new cases of the coronavirus spiked on two continents, the World Health Organization warned on Monday that the world was not ready for a major outbreak, even as it praised China’s aggressive efforts to wrest the epidemic under control.

After two weeks on the ground in China, a team sent by the W.H.O. concluded that the draconian measures China imposed a month ago may have saved hundreds of thousands of people from infection. Such measures — sealing off cities, shutting down businesses and schools, ordering people to remain indoors — have provoked anger in China and could be difficult to replicate in democratic countries with a greater emphasis on protecting civil liberties.

Despite all of the measures that have been taken to control the spread of this virus, it just continues to pop up in more areas around the globe.

So how bad could this outbreak eventually become?

Well, Harvard epidemiology professor Marc Lipsitch believes that “40 to 70 percent of people around the world will be infected” by the time this crisis is over…

In an article entitled You’re Likely to Get the Coronavirus, the Atlantic explains how the coronavirus is particularly dangerous because it may cause cause no symptoms at all in many carriers of the infection.

According to Harvard epidemiology professor Marc Lipsitch, this contributes to his prediction that coronavirus “will ultimately not be containable.”

“Lipsitch predicts that, within the coming year, some 40 to 70 percent of people around the world will be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19,” reports the Atlantic.

If that projection ends up being accurate, the death toll will be in the millions.

We should truly hope that Lipsitch and the other experts that are warning of imminent doom are dead wrong.

But we would also be exceedingly foolish to completely ignore their warnings.

These scientists have been studying infectious diseases throughout their entire careers, and now they are telling us that the next great global pandemic has arrived.

If that is true, all of our lives are about to change in a major way.

Personally, I am still hoping for the best, but I am also checking the latest numbers coming in from all over the globe multiple times per day.

    Canada and Australia are still bring Chinese students in. Both nations have no manufacturing left so they
    replace it with immigration.

    Canada wants to bring in between 500 000 to
    1 000 000 foreign student this year.

    Without the cash from foreign students Canada and Australia would financially implode.

    We have seen nothing yet. Globalist destroying the source
    of their wealth:Western civilization with mass migration.

    South Korea has a birth rate of 0.94 and small population. If they go down they
    could drag the whole world with them.

    Korea’s total fertility rate falls to 1.01 in Q1

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvZFuKU_NK0

    The total population in South Korea was estimated at 51.6 million people
    in 2018, according to the latest census figures. South Korea Population – data,
    historical chart, and calendar of releases – was last updated on February of
    2020 from its official source.

    The most intelligent productive race of the
    word:whites,south korea,japananes are going extinct .

    The losers races still doing good aa their birth rate
    is througth the roof,

    Doom-mongers all! The would be no panic if the USMSM didn’t promote it. Sinophobes all.

    As of yesterday, February 25th, the Philippines still only had three confirmed corona virus cases, including the man who died.

    https://www.rappler.com/nation/252687-suspected-novel-coronavirus-cases-per-region-philippines-february-25-2020

    Get back to me when the corona virus deaths approach the annual deaths for the regular flu. About 600,000+ world wide.

  6. bochen777 on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 5:44 pm 

    In Iran and Italy CIA sent agents with more general version of the Wuhan biovirus, something that doesn’t just specifically and selectively only targets Han Chinese this time around. The goal with Italy was to send them a message and warm them not to partner with China for Huawei 5g and BRI anymore. For that reason it will remain localized and in a few days everyone for forget about it.

    Virus that is just out of the CIA factory is way more lethal than second or third generation human to human transmission virus simply because the further in generation the more coatings it gets and the less it attaches to cells and hence that is why these viruses lose potency over time, also why Wuhan has way higher death rate than rest of China and initially the death rate outside of China was barely 0.0001% and now we seeing Iran have 50 drop dead in blink of an eye…

    CIA switch/swapped the viruses… the original Wuhan version wouldn’t infect non-China people anyway and lost its potency. CIA sent few agents to Italy small town, and aersol’d live factory OEM virus to get an instant but localized kill rate to prove a point and send a message.

    Later they will let Iran fester and won’t be so kind, and will make sure that Iran turns into the next Wuhan/China, and take this chance to engage both Iran in battle and China in the South China Sea.

    “COVID-19 has, since December, led to more than 75,000 illnesses and 2,000 deaths, primarily in mainland China. But, statistically the flu is more menacing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta says that in the United States alone, the flu caused an estimated 26 million illnesses, 250,000 hospitalizations and 14,000 deaths this season.”

    And the beat goes on….

  8. JuanP on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 5:52 pm 

    “And the beat goes on”….except it is not going on in Asia, Mak. Economies are shutting down but you are too embarrassed by your wounded agenda to admit that is the real problem. You should be worried also because you are in the 15% death rate category. That is nothing to take lightly as you do.

  9. peakyeast on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 5:52 pm 

    @mak: If you have 1 dead officially. With a mortality rate of 2%, hvor many infected should there be? I can inform you that its far more than 2.

    With an incubation period of up to 28days where they can spread the disease – how many people do you think those undetected infected has been in touch with?

  10. world grate supremacist muzzies jerk on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 5:58 pm

    As those Chinese businesses shut down, so goes the JIT Amerikan supply line. Now the US businesses are shutting down and taking the Stock Market Casino with them. Soon the US store shelves will be empty of necessities. Aww!

    Ah well…no problems here.

  12. makati1 on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 6:28 pm 

    And Peaky, you know more than the rest of the world about the situation here? Or is it just wishful thinking on your part? I think the latter as you have never been close to the Philippines except, maybe a Filipina nurse at your doctor’s office.

    The new virus is small potatoes compared to the regular flu, or even the other diseases like heart failure, cancers, etc.

  13. makati1 on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 6:36 pm 

    I don’t worry about dying Davy. We all do at some point. Over the years, I have experienced accidents where I could have died, but I am still here.

    I don’t even think about it as I prefer to enjoy my life and live it to the best of my ability for as long as I have left. Probably many years considering my good heath and that I no longer drive a car or live in a city. I do all the things to stay healthy, and living here without stress is one of the best. Living in the Police State called Amerika is definitely more stressful. Much more.

    Another warm, sunny morning. The birds are singing and there is a slight breeze on the porch. ^_^

  14. JuanP on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 6:51 pm 

    Mak, you worry about dying. You don’t fool me

  15. JuanP on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 6:56 pm 

    “As those Chinese businesses shut down, so goes the JIT Amerikan supply line. Now the US businesses are shutting down and taking the Stock Market Casino with them.”

    Mak, still, your picture does not fit the AsiaUp and westDown syndrome you have. I think you are a failure.

  17. world grate supremacist muzzies jerk on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 6:58 pm 

    superturd Mak, JuanPee has a point. You have the syndrom

  18. peakyeast on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 7:00 pm 

    @Mak: No – but I think you do not know the facts.

    The facts are that it infects easier than even normal influenza. The fact is that normal influenza kills 0.2 of infected. This one kills about 2-3% – and the survivors has damages to internal organs on top.

    It can hitchhike on o2 molecules (proven). It can reinfect people already which means there are mutations or immunesystem “forgets” it.

    And I do notice that you have no argument against the number of undetected infected.

  19. peakyeast on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 7:03 pm 

    And why would it be wishful thinking?
    That is an insane accusation. Perhaps it is nok makati I am writing with but one of the idiots pestering this forum.

    And what kind of retarded argument is: “you have never been close to the Philippines except, maybe a Filipina nurse at your doctor’s office.”?

  20. JuanP on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 7:08 pm 

    “I am writing with but one of the idiots pestering this forum.”

    I admit it. It was me not Mak

  21. makati1 on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 7:15 pm 

    And again, Peaky, you are a degree’d doctor of medicine specializing in virus diseases? Or are you parroting the MSM propaganda “news”? Just asking. I would think a disease that kills hundreds of thousands annually would not be any less contagious. Especially as there are vaccines to counter them.

    Support your statement with refs please.

    Amerikans profess to know more about Asia than those who live here. You have no personal experience with what it is like here. How can you claim to know more than I do about my Asian neighborhood?

    Amerikans, and most of the West, are brainwashed to put down anything Chinese, or even Asian as Asia is rising, and the West, especially Amerika, is falling. A painful thought for the spoiled Amerika tax slaves.

  22. JuanP on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 7:17 pm 

    Mak, dummy, Peaky is from Denmark. My God you are dense! I second what Peaky said.

    makati1, I agree that the Asia is rising and West is failing…

    But don’t you think the CIA created this virus released in Wuhan for exactly that purpose? To commit genocide against the Han Chinese species and reverse “Westlessness” and forever remain on top, unipolar hyperpower, unilaterial exceptionalism full spectrum dominance?!

  25. peakyeast on Tue, 25th Feb 2020 8:14 pm 

    @mak: I do not claim to know anything about philipines.

    I am ASKING you “HOW MANY UNDETECTED SICK ARE THERE IS THERE IS 1 DEAD WITH 2% FATALITY RATE? AND HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE THEY MET?”

    amerikans are always in a state of extreme panic over some media manufactured non-crisis or anything. But hey, ever a let a good crisis go to waste as they say.

    For contrast, the uS ‘health-care’ system kills far more people just via simple incompetence and mistakes every single year than this latest virus panic attack will likely ever manage, even in the worst case scenario.

    But yea, go stock up on masks and rubber gloves and keep your stupid children home from school, they only teach ignorance anyhow, so, its no big loss. Or, stay home from your pointless soul-crushing jobs so you can spend quality time with the kids whose arent going to school anymore. In the meantime, cars, guns, cancer, regular flu and drugs, both legal and illegal, will kill more dumbass amerikans every day than the CoronaVirus could ever manage.

He has done this for years as his wild predictions have fallen apart. These wild assertions have been many and increasingly he is looking very bad and not worth much of a look.

    OH, and for any of the whiners here about the shape of this forum, JuanP can ignore me and I will ignore him. This also means he can’t do his typical sock puppet attacks. The problem with JuanP is he likes this mindless gaming, so it is not going to end. I like fighting to maintain my rights, so it looks like some kind of moderation strategy is needed by the owners. Some of you said in the past ignore him but that just emboldens him. This JuanP is a true egotistical lunatic so this will not end. Get used to it because he is not running me off.

    OH, and with the world coming apart before our eyes you would think this lunatic would let up to allow discussions. Yet, JuanP is like makato1 and believe this virus is nothing. The flue is so much worse. This just goes to show how low IQ the two of them are.
