1. In 1 day, number of deaths in Spain from COVID19 doubled to almost 300, while cases up by 2,000.

Not long ago, there were 2 cases. Then, I begged some kids not to go there for springbreak. They laughed, but I eventually scared into staying. 1 went. He’s trapped in Madrid...
2... right now, people are being warned what is coming. They are told they can’t wait for the epidemic to explode before protecting themselves. Too many are blowing it off, laughing like this kids that they will be fine. No. You won’t. People like you are going to kill people...
3...people like you are going to kill themselves. People like you are going to get scarred lungs. People like you are going to have your life and allof our lives change because you could not listen, couldn’t think “maybe this one party, game, trip, etc isn’t worth changing my...

1. My second anger: That we live in a nation where the entire government has to slather compliments on Trump, to force us to read between the lines on recommendations, because they know if they say anything too contradictory of the malignant narcissistic moron, they will be out..
2...I do not criticize @VP for his slavish ass-kicking of Trump. Does anyone truly believe if he did anything to suggest Trump was doing anything less than the greatest job any human being has ever done on anything that he would not be shoved aside and made powerless?...
3...the worst situation, though is for Dr. Fauci. This man *knows* epidemics. He knows what to do. But he can only occasionally say it totally clearly, because he has to dance around the psychopathic monster who would without doubt - if Fauci contradicts him too clearly with....

1. Today is my anger day. I am thinking about those narcissistic fools like @SusanSarandon who urged people to protest vote.

Trump is not up to this. Competence matters. You vote for the competent, not who "inspires" you. People who couldve been saved are going to die now....
2...because we - alone among all industrialized nations - have no idea what is happening. We are not imposing containment controls for epidemics (saying "China can't come" is a way of giving extra time to develop disease management. It isn't a solution.) We are shoving people...
3...together into mass crowds at airports run by the feds as we try to find out which ones *might* be infected based on questions - many of which are no longer relevant. But everyone stopped after hanging round huge crowds could have infected dozens while waiting. We are...

This is the English translation of a letter from Sergio Romagnani Emeritus Professor of Clinical Immunology and Internal Medicine to the Italian Newspaper Corriere Fiorentino 1/x
corrierefiorentino.corriere.it/firenze/notizi…
In this letter, Romagnani explains why massive testing of both symtomatic and asymptomatic cases is vital in order to reduce the spread of Covid-19. In fact, according to a study conducted in Vò (Italy) 1. the vast majority of people who become infected, between 50 and 75%
are completely asymptomatic, but still represent a formidable source of contagion(2) the isolation of asymptomatic cases is essential to control the spread of the virus (3)This is paritcularly important for categories such as doctors and nurses who, being exposed to the virus 3/x

My dad, who retired last year as Head of Virology at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, shared an interesting note with me and my siblings, to explain to us the situation and future outlook of the coronavirus in Europe, China and around the world. Here’s what he said:
Europe (and the US) are right now in the rising part of the curve of detected cases of #covid19. “And they’ll remain there in the next two weeks, because the containment measures that were announced in recent days take a while to have an effect, because of the incubation period”
There’s no doubting the seriousness of the situation in countries like Italy, but also Switzerland and Belgium (where me and my siblings live): China had only 22 new cases today, whereas Belgium had 160 (!), Switzerland 269 (!!), and Italy 2,546 (!!!) See worldometers.info/coronavirus/

#covid19 infected per capita yesterday. In just a few days my country of birth Iceland went from 0 cases to 14, putting it on par with Italy. Most of these cases came indeed from one group on a ski-ing trip in Italy. Goes to show how quickly things can change with this outbreak.
N.b. The heading is in Icelandic and translated is roughly "Covid-19 infected people per million inhabitants"
Far out - just read that Iceland is up to 20 cases = 54 per million people - or nearly the same as China! Two "positives" so far: no-one seriously sick (and no deaths) and all cases so far from people that had been travelling (no in-community transmission so far).

Think someone is lying to you?

First check to see if they bothered to add any variability whatsoever in the model they are using to supposedly report actual numbers from a complex system.

#coronavirus
The mortality rate they want you to report is the - 0 day rate: Today's Confirmed Death total minus Today's Confirmed Case total.

This has not varied outside of 1/10th of 1% in the last 5 prints.

#coronavirus
But even a minor adjustment of a few days in the mortality rate paints an entirely different picture

Now, I'm not saying Trump is currently heading to the Middle East to visit troops. BUT...

There's been some interesting aircraft movements the last couple of days. Some I've already tweeted... And a VC-25A has been reported over the UK earlier today.

Watch this space! 😌
Reported over the UK earlier today. Callsign & unknown hex confirmed on my own receiver logs. 👇

RCH358 left Joint Base Andrews around 0500 UTC & pinged up on my own receiver here in the UK around 1100 UTC. 🤔
