i might be misreading into it but i'm pretty sure the 4500 deaths was because the wall street journal recorded the number of total deaths in the US at 8pm eastern last night and then again at 8pm earlier tonight. what happened yesterday was that new york had went back and reported all the people with a doctor's diagnosis as covid who died of covid symptoms as having died of covid, when previously they were only including people that died of covid symptoms that also had a positive test result for covid, but because tests were so limited, people that were clearly covid cases weren't always being tested, so clear covid cases that didn't get tested then died of covid symptoms weren't counted, and then yesterday new york state finally caught up and back-dated a bunch of deaths. only a little more than half were actually from yesterday.

Thats what I am thinking happened but guess we will find out tomorrow. Don't die goons I wont have anyone to poo poo post with.

It's sorta conspiracy like but I guess if you know there's no way our healthcare/industry is prepared for stuff then I guess all you can do is practice for society going to total poo poo.

None of that is surprising, tbh. The only thing that would have been hard to predict about this pandemic in 2001 is Trump and just how awful the national level response has been. Plus maybe how large the nation wide death cult is.

The point of those exercises to come up with disasters and model how to work through them, so they're not a complete surprise. A bunch of well paid nerds running the ultimate board game sim can figure out that a pandemic is probably going to be influenza or a corona virus, our healthcare system is fragile, there's not enough PPE, the economy will poo poo its pants, and that absolute best case is that our infrastructure will be slow to respond.

They’re completely different. A wet market is somewhere you can buy live animals without origin tracing and take them or have them slaughtered there. There’s no equivalent in Oz/US/Eu/Canada. Farmers markets aren’t even in the same ballpark.

A wet market is simply a market that sells food, as opposed to dry markets. Farmer's markets are wet markets.

The WHO had specifically nominated a zoonotic coronavirus or influenza as viruses most likely to cause a serious global pandemic. Like this was not hard to predict.

That conspiracypost (mine) in the Epstein thread was more about the parallels between this and the 2001 Anthrax attacks, which we now know didn't make any sense at all and were followed by a botched investigation.

I really encourage everyone to just read that linked article since it's full of entertaining crack ping moments.
https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/top-news/all-roads-lead-dark-winter/

Such as, did you have any idea that Mike Pence was one of the original recipients of an Anthrax envelope way back around 9/11, and that he was immediately primed to respond the right way (he launched a publicity stunt calling for war with the middle east) even before he was in politics?

The article goes into how the 2001 "Dark Winter" training exercise served to coach the media to say the right thing ("let's go to war, specifically with Iraq") in case we ever have an Anthrax attack (spoilers, we immediately did). The training exercise was made to see if we could get the public behind finishing Gulf War 1 like the leaders wanted.

In a lot of paragraphs the article explores the aftermath of those attacks, the extremely suspicious botched investigation of who could have possibly mailed Anthrax (it was us). Important people obstructed various investigations, including into where 2.3 billion in missing Pentagon funds went (I say exactly where I think they went in the Epstein thread). Major figures at Johns Hopkins, Bill Gates Institute, FBI, and other government agencies are never punished for their role in destroying evidence and giving false testimony and media statements.

The icing on the cake in this article is, where are those people now? Well, they're in charge of the companies spearheading the COVID response. They and Mike Pence all got their promotions for being good soldiers. Last year we just had another extremely odd pandemic training exercise called Event 201 with the exact same people in charge. Just read the article, it's a hell of a ride.

Mike Pence was a republican congressman in September of 2001 and he wasn't an anthrax letter recipient. It's not a great mystery why he called for war in the middle east, that was the republican platform.

https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/04/16/20/coronavirus-malls-partially-reopen-philippines-lockdown-eases-pernia

quote:

MANILA -- Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia said Thursday a "calibrated" reopening of shopping malls could be part of the partial easing of the Philippines' coronavirus lockdown.

The Philippines has to be "very careful" in lifting the lockdown to prevent a fresh wave of infections. Construction of infrastructure projects under President Rodrigo Duterte's "Build, Build, Build" could also be allowed to resume, Pernia told DZMM.

"Parang calibrated opening siguro of malls and other areas where we can still have the necessary safeguards against contracting the disease," said Pernia.

(Maybe a calibrated opening of malls and other areas where we can still have the necessary safeguards against contracting the disease.)

Mall operators SM, Robinsons, Ayala Land and Megaworld have suspended mall operations, except for groceries and pharmacies during the lockdown period, that required half of the country's 100 million people to stay at home.

The so-called enhanced community quarantine or ECQ started on March 17 and was extended until April 30.

Pernia said Filipinos should also start preparing for a "new normal" post-lockdown. Officials earlier said this could include physical distancing and wearing of face masks.

Wasn't he just a shock jock initially? Didn't know he was in congress for so long.

When you read that article, try to separate the content from who wrote it -- and obviously from the article's commenters!!! Why would you read the comments on a right wing blog!?

The reason the content stands on its own is that the authors brought receipts for the bulk of it. For example, the full transcripts of both the 2001 Dark Winter exercise and the 2019 "Event 201" exercise are both linked. The author may be a young ideologue but she used a neutral tone in this.

If you click the links and start reading the actual transcripts of the training exercises, they feature some messed up poo poo, such as the director (same one since 2001) freely pontificating about the pros and cons of shutting down the internet on everyone during an upheaval. The meeting concludes that topic with the implication that the only thing holding them back is the belief that internet shutdown historically makes upheavals worse (and what will history matter to them once this it's clear situation is unprecedented?)
