Coronavirus: finding the ambiguous reality behind the fear porn headlines
Catte Black
According to the World Health Organisation the latest viral panic – the infamous allegedly ‘new’ coronavirus is ‘stabilising‘, at least a little (see also MoA), though you wouldn’t think so from the fear porn currently being pumped out of every media orifice 24/7.
Today, even though signs are the panic is ebbing in China, the UK has claimed it has 8 cases of this new coronavirus and is declaring, on this basis, a “serious and imminent threat to public health”, which – oh goodness – allows BoJo and chums to assume “additional powers to fight the spread of disease”, including powers to “detain people suspected of having the virus”.
This, let me remind you, because 8 – eight – people have allegedly been identified as carrying the virus.
A virus with a mortality rate of around 2%.
Whatever its reality level, whether it’s a new mutation, a manmade death-bug or a largely invented meme, the alleged Wuhan virus has clearly been hyped for its control/fear potential virtually from day one. Whatever else you take away from it, be assured you are supposed to be afraid.
Very very afraid.
This story is being given a free plausibility pass by many in the alt media simply because it originates from a non-western source. There’s apparently a touchingly naive belief that the elites in China would never ally with their counterparts in the West, or use fear as an intimidation technique – just because.
Nonsense of course. Elites everywhere will use any weapons they have to enforce control. They always have and they always will. We are not justified in overlooking potential agenda with this narrative simply because it originates in China and is reported on by Chinese outlets. Chinese elites understand the value of fear porn too, and Chinese media outlets can also be agenda-bound. And on a broader consideration, Chinese people can panic and overreact. Because they are human.
An additional factor dissuading people from examining this critically is largely faith-based. Because this is medicine, and therefore science and therefore the magic/religion of our age, people tend to believe wholesale any ‘fact’ presented them, even third hand, by the practitioners of this alchemy. We rarely subject such claims to scrutiny.
But let’s not be deterred by such things. Let’s look below the surface of this pervasive narrative. At least a little.
the story
In south-east China in early December 2019, people were presenting with symptoms that were indistinguishable from influenza or gastroenteritis. However for some reason (it is very hard to find out what that reason was) suspicions were allegedly aroused that these people were not just suffering from flu, even though they certainly appeared to be, and steps were quickly taken to isolate a potential new pathogen.
By mid-January, less than six weeks later, a potential new pathogen was indeed found, and DNA sequenced. Almost immediately, even though proven cases at that time numbered in mere tens and we had a mortality rate of maximum 3%, Wuhan and other Chinese cities were placed on lockdown and the fear began pumping out.
Images of people allegedly ‘dying in the street’ from this new flu began appearing on social media and news channels. We were treated to shaky video of Chinese people wearing decorating overalls and paper masks, and told they were in ‘hazmat suits’. Images of Wuhan looking like a ghost town were broadcast to the world.
And the numbers grew. Until it was now.
There are currently alleged to be around 41,000 cases of the ‘new’ virus worldwide. The vast majority of them – over 40,000 – in China.
The mortality rate is apparently holding steady at around 2.2%.
What we don’t know is how reliable these figures are. Or even how they are arrived at.
some basic questions
Has every single one of the 41,000 ‘confirmed’ cases have been tested and the virus isolated? If not, what does ‘confirmed’ mean?
Given that symptoms of the ‘new’ virus are identical to those of severe flu and bacterial/viral pneumonia, it can’t be distinguished from them by simple clinical observation, so ‘confirmation’ by any route except viral isolation would throw up enormous numbers of false positives, correct?
In the current climate if a person presents at a hospital in China with severe flu symptoms – fever, respiratory infection, cough – the staff are probably going to play it safe and assume it’s the ‘new’ scare virus, no? Do these unfortunates get included in ‘confirmed’ cases or not?
It would be nice to see a non-hysterical discussion of that question would it not?
Again, how is the test for this virus performed? Are they finding virus or antibodies? Is it reliable? Does the presence of the virus equate with a load sufficient to cause symptoms?
After all coronaviruses are very very common. We all carry antibodies to numerous strains of them. If antibodies to the ‘new’ strain are present, does this indicate current active infection or past infection and immunity?
What about people who may have acquired immunity to the ‘new’ virus, and present with regular but severe flu? If they are tested they will show antibodies and will become listed as current ‘active’ cases, even though they aren’t.
A lot depends on how new the ‘new’ strain really is. There are literally thousands of viral mutations happening all the time. We can’t keep track of them all. What may be a ‘new’ viral strain in terms of clinical awareness may, in fact, have been widely present but undetected in the population. When you look you may find many many individuals with antibodies to this strain, that you may categorise falsely as signs of new and active disease.
Again, these issues and ambiguities in the process of pathogen identification are nowhere addressed, and we are given mere factoids, statements of ‘truth’ from on high that the numbers are real and unquestionable.
Jon Rappoport remains one of the few alternative voices prepared to express any kind of organised scepticism about the current panic. He may not always get it right, but the mere fact he is almost a lone voice means we should pay some attention, just in pursuance of balance.
His latest blog points out the overlooked difficulties with arriving at clear figures for pathogen infection and distribution. It’s worth reading for this alone.
He points out, citing this source that there are between 2.8million and 17million deaths in China per year from pneumonia. This looks like an alarming figure. And it means that, even without any ‘new’ virus strain, hospitals in China would be seeing many cases of respiratory infection/distress every day. The potential for some or all of these sufferers to become statistics in a ‘new virus’ panic is clearly there, and doesn’t require any ‘conspiracy theory’ beyond ordinary human panic.
He also makes the slightly more sinister point –
If you’re beginning to think it’s easy to declare an epidemic and broadcast propaganda about it, you’re right. Take a conventional set of symptoms present in people all over the world, claim a new virus is causing them, and you’re off and running. You can report 500 or 1000 deaths from this virus and people will believe whatever you say or do next. They won’t realize that this set of symptoms has been present in millions and millions of people, for decades or centuries, without the new virus. They won’t realize millions of people have already died without the “new virus.”
As I’ve pointed out above, this is quite true. Even without any intent to create a ‘fake’ pandemic it’s more than possible to achieve it simply by being too inclusive. Without much more information about how this ‘new’ virus was identified and how its prevalence is being monitored, it remains more than possible that its presence is being exaggerated. And that’s not even factoring in the potential for governments and NGOs to wilfully distort information in order to instill panic.
Let’s clarify. We aren’t claiming the ‘new’ coronavirus strain isn’t new. We aren’t claiming it isn’t dangerous. We aren’t claiming it hasn’t infected 41,000 people and isn’t capable of producing a global pandemic that threatens humanity.
All these things are possible. Of course they are. But few to none are currently proven. All we have are statements, allegations, all couched inside obvious panic narratives that ought to make us wary. And from actors with track records of deception, or at very least gross over-reaction.
Until we have something a lot more solid – let’s remember that fear is a universal weapon and that government narratives always need to be questioned – wherever they originate.

People – the title of this article is Coronavirus: finding the ambiguous reality behind the fear porn headlines– try to reflect this aim in your comments and do your level best to eschew hysterical ‘information’ sources, or post them with intent to analyse rationally – thanks
The crash of bitcoin and altcoins have made millions of new users feel like they’re not late for the party. I see <a href=”https://www.wazirxreferralcode.com/”>Wazirx referral code</a> has reported a whopping 1M+ new users last week.
Very good, thoughtful, intelligent and sane article !
Thank you Catte.
I had very similar thoughts on this subject.
God protects us from this fear porn exposure of matrix media…;-)
Greetings from southern France,
Ray
All of Jon Rappaport’s blog articles are worth reading about this alleged coronavirus outbreak that Catte Black’s article also refers to.
Jon gets most of his info from Perth Group and is basically trying to get the same points across about the coronavirus that were made in relation to HIV that remains unproven as the cause of AIDS- and he’s no longer on his own on that one too! You might be interested in checking the Perth Group’s position on virus isolation etc.

Tony
Hi Rhys thanks for your reply, and thanks also for your advice. But what basic scientific education are you referring to here when it comes to proving the physical existence of alleged ‘pathogenic viruses’ and their ‘adaptation’-the ‘scientific method’ perhaps? For your information I do have a science background and also know what its limitations are as well as my own. If you would like to debate the pros and cons of the scientific method I’d be glad to take you on. If you have read my other posts (which I cannot claim that you have) you may have realized by now that the monocausal germ theory of Pasteur which is still in vogue is seriously flawed along with the theory of viruses as disease agents. But that doesn’t seem to make much difference does it, because the same ole stuff on viruses, their alleged genetic sequences, mutations, jumping genes,… Read more »
You took that off.?
The virus causes male infertility and you hide that.?
You should have your cods kicked out.
I’m at a loss here White Horse. How is this virus that has never yet been proven to physically exist supposed to be THE cause of infertility? Are you sure its not something to do with the antiviral drugs they are dishing out to the victims or other factors? They do have vaccines for example that produce infertility in women and it doesn’t take much to concoct one for men too in the guise that its treating something else. Just like they did with Ethiopian women in Israel if you care to research that fact.
I looked at the bunch of references on pdf file that were listed but couldn’t find anything at first reading that’s relevant to causing infertility or to establishing virus isolation.

To summarize the situation so far for anyone who is still interested. I keep repeating stuff because it takes a while for the penny to eventually drop, and for all our sakes I really hope that it does. I think it would be reasonable to conclude from all that‘s been reported so far on this thread , that the mainstream virologists and microbiologists have a consensus view and standard model of how they IMAGINE pathogenic viruses are supposed to cause infection, like the alleged coronavirus and its so-called ‘strains’. This is also unwittingly reflected in their inability and failure to publish all the precise step-by-step details of how these alleged viruses have actually been effectively isolated and been proven to cause a disease let alone a COVID-19 ‘pandemic’ (if you can even call it that). In truth, the blunder is there for all to see in the research published in… Read more »
I believe the Corona virus hype has nothing to do with any public health concerns,
but everything with manipulating public opinion by ‘subtly’ (?) creating an association
between ‘deadly virus’ and ‘China’.
(Our Masters are experts at hijacking our language)
Hi Alex,
On ITN News this evening a spokesman was produced from out of the woodwork claiming that outbreaks elsewhere in the world were nothing to do with China.
But as you imply the damage is already done and an “association” has indeed been made between China and this alleged ‘deadly virus’ in the minds of the public. This “association” is reflected locally and is affecting some Chinese businesses such as chippies and restaurants due to the fear of ‘catching’ the virus and disease.
In my next post which I hope you will read, I will say more about how dangerous such “associations” can be- particularly where this alleged mysterious virus is concerned.
Regards,
Tony
That is part of the ongoing, unceasing, ever deepening, hate campaign against China in the Western MSM sewer. Did anyone really think that the White, Western, Judeo-Christian “gods Upon the Earth’ would ever allow a group of mere Asiatics rise to global hegemony, or even parity?
Friends, if I may I would like to address some further issues with regard to the article Coronavirus: finding the ambiguous reality behind the fear porn headlines. The first point I wish to make relates to the question of ‘reality’ (whether ambiguous or otherwise) and what actually constitutes that ‘reality’. Well, to answer that question one has to know at least something about philosophy, psychoanalysis, sociology, ideology and political science. If you happen to walk into a wall or someone suddenly bangs you on the head you may be said to have an encounter with the Real but that’s as far as it goes according to psychoanalysis. That is because the Real lies beyond signification and the symbolic order of language which means that you can describe your encounter with ‘it’ but there is always something missing from it that your words can never capture or express and that is… Read more »
I think that ‘conjectural science’ is just a tautology, and is expressed in the basic scientific principle of falsifiability. Of course ‘consensus reality’ may prove not fully congruent with ‘real’ reality, but it is the best process we have to make ever better approximations to that reality. What else can we rely on-religious dogma, capitalist disinformation or egotistic assertion?
I agree Richard ‘conjectural science’ is the best we have at the moment -the problem is who controls it and to what ends it is being manipulated. Even conjectural science is open to disinformation as pet theories like germ theory which Bechamp refuted long ago are still being upheld no matter what!
Do us all a favor and stop posting your erudite BS.
‘https://th.thgim.com/news/national/d111hf/article28713054.ece/alternates/FREE_435/MODI-TRUMP’ India is bankrupt. India pharmaceutical drug labs is where US Big Pharma contracts to have their 5x 10x 50x 100x more expensive meds manufactured, the same as Campbell’s has their chicken soup cooked up in China from dumped US chicken parts, then irradiated and shipped back to USA to stock food shelves.

A ruling oligarchy that HATES the serfs.
Oh dear it seems the Europeans and Yanks and Australasians are keen to get this epidemic sooner rather than later. Locking up lots of people on a ship where they inevitably cross infect instead of triaging them or moving onto a reasonable facility. Now is the time of year when all these independent oldies, preschool young families and any number if backpackers and singleton travelers start returning fron their beaches of Asia. I just got a text from my surgery suggesting anyone travelling back from a large numbet of countries don’t go to the surgery but call nhs!!! SO no checks pre travel, in transit, on arrival or public transport but get home infecting as many as poss and then quarantine yourself – never mind infecting anyone in the house or shops or back at work or on more public transport! Yup we got it under better control than these… Read more »
Hi Dungroanin, what is your take on how people become ‘infected’ other than by a new novel pathogenic coronavirus that has suddenly popped up and for which there is no conclusive scientific evidence ever proving that it actually physically exists let alone causes infection. This supposed to be a discussion about finding the ambiguous reality behind the fear porn headlines yet there are still people who are taken in by the fear porn of germ theory and the official line that this new alleged virus is still the culprit. Like Darwinism it is only a THEORY that has now been rendered sacrosanct by the international medical establishment and the pharma cartel who are now developing a vaccine!!!. To question it is regarded as heresy! Although germs do play a role in a disease process (and we are still alive because there are billions of them -all types both inside, on,… Read more »
Tony – you ask how do people become infected? Well – to say that it is the task of epidemiology to determine that. It is done in hidsight because we are not omniscient though the attempt’s are made ‘in silico’. The science on this is fast. It is no doubt going to set a new paradigm- great. Simply put as I understand it nocov19 seems to have the first human infection in early December 19 at the Wuhan market. No info I have seen identifies a patient zero yet – but it is certain that was ground zero by the spread from that spot. There seems to have only been that single jump into humans at that spot and since then has been human to human, with whatever mutations. It It seems likely spread by aerosol transmission mostly. It is considered to be linked to a virus that is in… Read more »
Thanks for your reply and the references which as you say are “speculation” none of which give any specific details of how the virus was isolated or has been conclusively proven to be the cause of disease – the same with other viruses mentioned e.g. Lassa and Zika viruses. The scientists can “work on it none stop” till the cows come home but it won’t make any difference until they publish a single paper showing every step by step detail of how they actually got the beef and proved conclusively by having the research repeated with the proper controls to show how it actually caused Covid-19. They are not going to do that! If you have not already done so it might help if you read my other posts on antibody tests and PCR (oversimplified) that they are now using which do not detect virus. Bacteria by the way do… Read more »
You’ve never had impetigo on your bleeding hemorrhoids, have you, lol. I will grant you that the ‘Deadly Spanish Flu’ event was just ordinary Asian flu, contracted on a US military base, before troops were flown to Europe that had just gone through four years of trench warfare, bmobing, poisonings, crops destroyed, millions of starving refugees in food, medicine and energy austerity. That more of them didn’t die is a tribute to how strong the human spirit is. What our school children should be taught is that Perpetual War is the cause of ‘Spanish Flu’, and all of the other rolling austerities bleeding out our Worker last life savings. At the rate that US National ‘Debt’ is growing, an onerous, odious and wholly illegal finance- and war-racketeering ‘debt’ laid onto Workers’ backs, by 2024 those Uber debts will exceed the total of all US Worker wealth. It’s quite obvious that… Read more »
Hi Anton, I agree with a lot you say in your reply particularly about the strength of the human spirit. But to mention anything to do with human spirituality nowadays is almost anathema and there are forces at work right now to eventually to get rid of all notions of it. You can observe how technology has become more and more sophisticated and has ‘taken over’ in a very short time and how smart phones and everything else they call ‘smart’ is gaining momentum, not only contributing to the erosion of social and personal relationships, but also degrading and robotizing humanity. Biologists today think we are nothing more than machines and our consciousness is simply an electrochemical secretion or epiphenomenon of the brain. Nobody care anymore. We are now indeed facing the consequences of a massive debt problem as you imply – never seen before at this level in history,… Read more »
Dear Friends, many people now are speculating and wondering if there will be a WWIII mainly because of the dire state of the global economy and the current events in China and in the world elsewhere. WWIII is an entirely different scenario from that of WWI and WWII and is now already in its early second stage. It is perhaps a precursor version of what Dr Rudolph Steiner referred to as the “War of All Against All”- nation against nation, race against race, religion against religion, family against family and ego against ego. Why is that? Because, we are to blame and have allowed bad things and the actions of the people involved to take their course, and we now have to face the consequences of the early second stage of this war which is at present a relatively ‘silent war’ using silent weapons of diverse types. People will not… Read more »
Well they’ve even tried staring at goats haven’t they Tony? And Telekinesis weapons are everywhere and exploding heads…
There was a silent weapon in the Beeb propaganda program the other night – actually looke quite noisey and dressed up like a Widdecombe!
It was even amplified by the Grauniad under cover of faux outrage.
“The BBC normalised racism last night, pure and simple” shouted Owen Jones – helping to spread the normalisation further.
Dungroanin, Yep, they’re still staring at goats too, and telekinesis is spreading the deadly virus across the globe like wildfire since all microbiologists and virologists have that remarkable psychokinetic ability !! Ha! Looks like the BBC has a psychic ability too in its bid to normalize racism as you say, but along with the other unspeakables for fear of offending someone. Multiculturalism and gender dysphoria are the catchwords of the day, while ‘virus’ – ‘infection’ – ‘spread’- ‘pandemic’- and ‘quarantine’, are all good terms for neurolinguistic programming. Check this: In the UK the Secretary of State has the power under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 to make “health protection regulations” (we are always being protected from something which usually means a loss of a bit more what little freedoms are left!) which include enforcing special requirements and restrictions, medical examinations, removal to, or detention in a hospital or… Read more »
Tony l these powers are imaginary
They. Want you to believe that when you agreed to the End User Agreements that run to hundreds of clauses just so you could play with their app on your phone, that you have agreed to losing your liberty, wealth and freedom.
Let’s see them try.
Dungroanin The powers are real under the Act and the “Part 2A Orders” as the UK government has already declared that the alleged coronavirus outbreak is “a serious and immanent threat to public health”. It also gives police the power to force people into mandatory isolation if they are deemed to be a risk in spreading the disease. One must add that all the mainstream scientists still don’t have a clue as to how such a disease is actually spread – sure enough there’s speculation about the germ theory droplet and aerosol spread by coughing, sneezing and close contact, but that doesn’t always work, because hospital staff with all the protective gear in China have been coming down with the disease. The Chinese scientists should have stuck to the traditional explanation of epidemics and pandemics and perhaps they would have come closer to a better explanation of the causal factors… Read more »
If the West does not soon find whites killed by Covid19, it is going to be a HUGE problem, for the world will wonder, and ask: Why is it that only non-whites are killed by Covid19 in the West? Does the virus discriminate? On the other hand, IF many whites in the West are killed by Corona, then the same security measures as in China will be implemented in the West: quarantines, control zones and the withdrawal of countless of physical cash (money notes) in circulation. If the West does NOT exercise these same security measures as in China, then it is also a HUGE problem for the world will wonder and ask: Why are these radical precautions – unprecedented in world history – in China needed while quarantines and withdrawal of cash are absent in the West !? Does the virus discriminate? NB! Regardless of the real danger of… Read more »
Is there a SARS or MERS vaccine? I saw that one attempt at creating a SARS vaccine only set the poor monkeys up for a cytokine storm when the vaccinated individuals encountered the SARS pathogen. I believe that the risks of a second infection with CoVid 19 precipitating a worse disease, as with a second infection of dengue fever, thanks to the antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) mechanism, is regarded as rather high. The US plainly put a lot of effort into concocting this bio-weapon.
Hi Richard, you might find this quote interesting from the CEPI website:
The MERS DNA vaccine candidate is being developed using Inovio’s DNA Medicines platform to deliver optimised synthetic antigenic genes into cells, where they are translated into protein antigens that activate an individual’s immune system to generate robust targeted T cell and antibody responses. Inovio’s immunotherapies function exclusively in vivo, and have generated an antigen-specific immune response against targeted diseases in all clinical trials to date.
No doubt this witche’s brew will produce a robust cytokine storm too and a few micro-stokes along the way with it when its up and running. Inovio Pharmaceuticals in San Diego have also received a grant of $9million to develop one fast for the alleged coronavirus.
Thank-you, Tony. This could be the inevitable great culling of the ‘useless eaters’, that the global parasitic elites so desire.
I created a meme, of a welcome mat that says Home of a Useful Eater. I figure that way we could at least die laughing.
The discussion is Coronavirus: finding the ambiguous reality behind the fear porn headlines Let us hypothesize for arguments sake (my opinion for all its worth, is that it is highly unlikely) that a pathogenic coronavirus has now been successfully isolated and genetically engineered to use as a bioweapon on a target population in Wuhan by unknown perpetrator(s) and the said virus has somehow now spread elsewhere to other countries and held to be THE CAUSE of a disease now named ‘COVID-19’ which has now alleged to have developed into a viral pandemic. In earlier posts I mentioned the Pasteur’s germ theory of disease (which was refuted by Bechamp) but nevertheless, and contrary to the evidence, has been adopted by the current international medical establishment and the pharma industry. Germ theory per se is a monocausal theory, in other words a germ like a certain virus or a bacterium is alleged… Read more »
The weird religious cult that is the centre of the ‘super-spreader’ outbreak in South Korea,caused by a ‘mad Aunty’, is, naturally, an apocalyptic, End Times, bunch of loonies, and guess where its first overseas branch was recently opened. Why Wuhan, where else?
Richard, The Shincheonji or Church of Jesus, the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, which certainly does appear to be a Korean cult , with the aim of creating ‘a new heaven on earth’ as that apparently is what Shincheonji means. But they start with breaking up families, so it would be hardly a heaven on earth. Some cults have security services connections and deploy experimental mind control techniques – a prime example was Rev. Jim Jones who was a CIA operative and cult leader of the “Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ” which combined elements of christianity with communist and socialist ideology. In “Jonestown” Guyana in 1978, which was a mind control experiment – over 900 people ended up dead due to drinking cyanide cocktails some politicians were bumped off too. Thirty nine members of another apocalyptic cult called “Heaven’s Gate” in the USA also met with… Read more »

The White Horse Plague just took a certified turn for the worst. As i have benn predicting the virus leaves its victims infertile.

Hi white horse, I have just read the interesting reference that you quoted in your post which states that: The results indihave cate that ACE2 highly expresses in renal tubular cells, Leydig cells and cells in seminiferous ducts in testis. Therefore, virus might directly bind to such ACE2 positive cells and damage the kidney and testicular tissue of patients. Our results indicate that renal function evaluation and special care should be performed in 2019-nCoV patients during clinical work, because of the kidney damage caused by virus and antiviral drugs with certain renal toxicity. This is not only science we’re being blinded with – it’s also wishful thinking and almost pure speculation. As I have stated in other posts according to microbiologists, cell receptors function on a ‘lock and key’ basis. However, this virus is alleged to be ‘pleomorphic’ that is, it can somehow miraculously change its shape and size (but… Read more »
Wuhan coronavirus predicted in Dean Koontz’s 1981 novel ‘The Eyes of Darkness
Quote:
“The Eyes of Darkness mentions a Chinese military lab outside of the city of Wuhan, where a deadly virus is invented as part of the country’s biological weapons warfare programme. Owing to the lab’s location, the virus is named ‘Wuhan-400’.”
The lab, Level 4, outside Wuhan, is not a military establishment. Think AMRIID.
It’s a novel of fiction.
Latest numvers from Global Times
06:49 am Feb 18
Hubei Province reported 1,807 new cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia on Feb 17, with 93 new deaths and 1,223 cases of recovery. The total number of infections in the province climbed to 59,989, with 7,862 recovered and 1,789 dead.

Recovery is now accelerating.
Mortality is hovering at 3%.
Unless they actually are sealing the infected in their own homes it seems that the epicentre of the outbreak has it under control.
Chinese Study: “The [Wuhan] coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory” (300 yards from the Wuhan fish market, while the bat caves are 900 km away).
From Watts Up With That, moving from lying about anthropogenic climate destabilisation, to lying about CoVid 19. You are very consistent, Antsie.
Watts Up quoted the “Mailonline” which quoted “Botao Xiao 21.93 South China University of Technology, Lei Xiao” about that Wuhan Jiangxia Center For Disease Control lab close to the Wuhan fish market. It is just south of that market.
Read beyond the headlines.
MailOnLine-more hard Right lunacy. Then ‘alleged’ Chinese sources. Very unimpressive.
Xi-China is fighting the Wuhan corona virus but still has time to continue old war games around Taiwan:
China has been flying what it calls “island encirclement” drills on-off since 2016, when President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) of the Democratic Progressive Party first took office. She was re-elected on Jan. 11.
You Zionists love land thieves, don’t you. A stooge of the USA is a stooge of Israel. It’s mandatory.
My Sunday night take on where it’s at! The inflexion point of new infections has passed on cue as predicted in January. Mortality is settled at around 3% or less. The ship of lab rats is a perfect lab. Chinese leadership have taken advantage of events to finesse policy on several fronts – the economic war with US by curbing 150 million Chinese tourists to western capitals and more local vicinities like Thailand, bringing relative hardships to their local tourist industries; just in time manufacturing supply chains to western industries are choked affecting their gdp; oil and commodities are reduced in price making chinese imports of these cheaper (thus boosting their GDP); politically the systems for future emergencies are improved and made robust; corrupt local setups are being easily removed, etc. All strengthening the Chinese governance of 1.4 billion people as they take on world leadership role with SCO &… Read more »
Nice take!
Yep – China on strike, refusing to support the dollar-dominated system any longer perhaps.
You might want to buy some gold as western paper gold markets are set to implode, following which price discovery will take place on the physical market in Shanghai.
Meaning – much, much, much higher prices.
You have to keep an open mind, but on the civil law balance of probabilities it seems clear that this was a biological weapons attack on China, by the US.
This has caused havoc for the Chinese economy, with far wider social and political repercussions.
You have to ask if the timing is pure coincidence, with the trade wars, South China Sea, Huawei, Hong Kong, the Uighurs, and other issues.
Pompeo threatened China with unspecified “consequences” over Hong Kong, but even he isn’t crazy enough to want all out war with China.
This is probably seen as a relatively cheap and easy way of weakening and destabilising China and fomenting unrest there, as part of a multi pronged campaign directed against the country, with one element succeeding another in rapid succession.
Huawei being followed by Hong Kong, being followed by the virus and so on.
America is known to have a very large biological weapons programme in countries like Georgia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine and many others.
It may even be that this is some kind of freelance operation by some US agency, which has neither sought nor obtained official authorisation. Trump has very little control over his own administration, significant parts of which are actively conspiring against him and seeking to unseat him.
The scale of the crisis is probably being concealed.
That is the default position of any government, to avoid panic.
The testing kits are only about 50% effective.
A large increase in sulphur dioxide has been monitored, which is associated with cremations.
Collecting bat coronaviruses, scores of them, in south-east Asia and Khazakstan among others, has been a prime operation of US biowarfare in recent years. Purely ‘defensive’, of course.

Dear Friends, here is some more information you may be interested in regarding the detection of alleged pathogenic viruses and viral infection. In this post I would like to deal with antibody tests such as ELISA which is claimed by the CDC to detect antibodies against two different MERS-CoV proteins, the nucleocapsid (N) and spike (S) in people who have been previously exposed to an alleged coronavirus. Laboratories also use an rRT-PCR assay which is a molecular test developed by CDC claimed to detect viral RNA from the alleged virus during active infection. However both of these test methods are problematic. I have oversimplified the technical aspects somewhat so any errors or omissions are mine and I stand to be corrected. First of all antibody tests currently used were never designed to detect a virus. ELISA antibody testing for example is based on the idea that the immune system is… Read more »
The latest from the CDC Director Dr Robert Redfield- the extremely virulent coronavirus will eventually gain a foothold in the united states. He told CNN’s Dr Sanjay Gupta quote “we don’t know a lot about this virus” “This virus is probably with us beyond this season, beyond this year, and I think eventually the virus will find a foothold and we will get community-based transmission.” “Right now we’re in an aggressive containment mode,” said Redfield. Redfield really doesn’t know a lot about the virus because it hasn’t been proven to physically exist like I have argued many times. The question is why try to aggressively contain something that’s never been proven to be caused by an alleged virus and not a gamut of other causal factors? That’s because all smoke and mirror germ theory with a mixture of crystal ball gazing and speculation thrown in – not science. In other… Read more »
Your final sentence renders the rest transparently paranoid and fanatical. Flat Earth, too?
Hi Richard Le Sarc, I would be grateful if you could please specify in detail as to why asking for conclusive scientific proof of an alleged pathogenic virus is “transparently paranoid and fanatical” and why the last sentence renders the rest “flat earth too”. Bearing in mind that the earth can indeed appear to be flat and also round depending on one’s vantage point – but that’s not the issue here is it? All viruses are not pathogenic as you seem to be implying. It is one thing to ASSUME the existence of viruses that are PATHOGENIC it is another thing the prove that they have been physically isolated and that they are THE single cause of a disease. I bet you can’t prove that can you? If you look at the scientific papers the coronoavirus it has either an average size or a range of sizes if that’s the… Read more »
The entire world needs to know if it can be carried and transmitted by insects.
Have you got a link please – to substantiate?
Thanks.
It incubates for up to 24 days and there is high viral load in blood and a mosquito or flea might be a suitable momentary host.
Your twaddle re sources is just a measure of your banality. Pure wankerism actually so go make a mess of a box a tissues or something, and yeah, try and grow some brains.
Have you got a link for a question.?
Brain work much does it.?
Insects can carry all sorts of microorganisms and can ‘transmit’ them to humans but so what ? They are not necessarily THE cause of disease but may play a secondary role in the resolution of a disease process. Cockroaches in particular are a classic carrier and transmitter of microorganisms.
While many alt-media outlets have fingered Event 201 as the replica “drill” that so often coincides with a false flag event, few are aware that on the day after that simulation, the 2019 Military World Games kicked off in Wuhan, bringing 300 US military personnel to the city.
Former Malaysian PM Matthias Chang, however, zeroed in on the games as the likely entry point for what he described as a biological war waged by the US against China. In an interview with the Institute for War and Peace Reporting last month, Chang placed coronavirus on a continuum of American bio-attacks he said included deliberate infection of Guatemalans with syphilis and gonorrhea and Cubans with dengue fever, as well as creating the Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone.

Louis Pasteur’s ‘germ theory’ is the current in vogue theory of mainstream medical science and is supported by the pharmaceutical industry and the MSM. Pierre Jacques Antoine Béchamp was a brilliant scientist who refuted Pasteur’s germ theory, he possessed academic qualifications and an intellect far superior to that of the chemist Louis Pasteur (who plagiarised Béchamp’s work without giving due credit to Béchamp). However, germ theory is now so entrenched and has become so popular that modern medical science and its ideology (which is largely based on a muddy mixture of philosophy, a rationalized form of empiricism and metaphysics) has managed to bamboozle the majority of the human population into believing that germs are THE cause of all infectious diseases. But all that is another story. For the present, what does traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have to say about epidemics viruses, bacteria and fungi? Not a lot nowadays – because… Read more »
China seems to have more or less ground to a halt, economically and socially, in dealing with the virus. It also poses obvious dangers politically for the Chinese leadership, if their response is widely seen to be inadequate. They may be aware of this, and may have overreacted to some extent. There are signs of this already. It will cause severe damage to the Chinese economy, with lower growth. This may weaken the Chinese position in the ongoing US/ China trade war. It also provokes racist anti Chinese hostility. For these reasons it is entirely plausible that this is some kind of US biological weapon. The US has an extensive biological weapons programme, with facilities in all sorts of odd places like Kazakhstan and Ukraine. It could be argued that this is unlikely because it could backfire on the US. The virus could spread to America and become a public… Read more »
I think it is entirely plausible that this is an attack on China – we know the geopolitical background. If it is, then it would have been ethnically targeted. Those ACE2 receptors indicate that. Thus, there would be minimal impact in the West. You notice that outside of China very little is happening – allegedly 3 dead. I think the concern outside China is just for show, perhaps a little bit of hysteria. The figures for ‘infected’ and dead’ are negligible. Inside China obviously something is happening – but what? In my opinion, this is either an attack on China, or the Chinese are exaggerating the efffects because they need a cover story for something. The world economy has been edging closer to the precipice for a while. If you needed a cover story for a depression (either in China or worldwide) , something to cause a controlled demolition of… Read more »
You can neither determine nor confirm virus infection by reference to its alleged ACE2 receptors. You first have to isolate the virus and prove it is infectious and all the rest that goes with it before you can do that and you must have proper controls. Its not been done to date. I’ve seen the papers which only assume isolation and then concoct the pseudoscience from there.
So you migrated mosquito boy.!
Mr Clickdd, angiotensin prophet are we now.
Why would China’s Government be ‘threatened’ by a disease outbreak when they have led the Chinese people to the greatest economic leap in human history, with the Chinese people dragged out of poverty, illiteracy, low life expectancy, high infant and child mortality and general backwardness? Only in the propaganda dreams of Western Sinophobes, I fear.
The hysteria and the ‘pandemic’ continues

https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2020/02/13/sudden-spike-in-coronavirus-cases-only-means-new-method-of-counting/
NO tests for the presence of the coronavirus are now necessary, in China. Read that sentence again.
The new method of counting? CT scans (computed tomography scans) of the chest.
The scans are used to diagnose standard traditional lung diseases.
For example, pneumonia.
And pneumonia is called THE “coronavirus illness.”
There is only one problem. Deaths from pneumonia, in China, appear to be 300,000 per year — which comes to 3 million per decade (I’m making a major downward estimate, based on correcting an error and referring to a trusted source.) These deaths certainly occurred in time periods before the purported emergence of the new coronavirus. Pneumonia has been around forever.
Get it? A test for ordinary pneumonia—CT Scan—now becomes a test that delivers a diagnosis of “new epidemic coronavirus.”
ABSURD.
clickkid wrote: Get it? A test for ordinary pneumonia—CT Scan—now becomes a test that delivers a diagnosis of “new epidemic coronavirus.” ABSURD. I agree because they have never physically isolated the alleged coronavirus in question in any lab nor have they proved conclusively that the said virus is the cause of the pneumonia. There are several claims that they have done so, but when you read the scientific papers and cut through the acronyms and technical jargon they have failed to do that and specific details are missing. The electron micrographs include other particles that should not be there. If the virus has been purified (which is a necessity before anything else can be done) the micrograph should reveal virus particles ONLY free from contaminants. Most photographs of alleged coronaviruses are coloured because they are computer enhanced theoretical models and are not actual viruses. In other words, nobody has ever… Read more »

Over 10 patients in serious conditions apparently improved after taking the products made of blood plasma containing antibodies donated by recovered patients. The products prove the most effective way at present to treat COVID-19 as there is no effective drug or vaccine.
10:18 pm Feb 13
Zhang Dingyu, director of Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan, said COVID-19-infected patients that have recovered have a large number of comprehensive antibodies, which can fight the virus. He called on them to come to donate plasma for patients who are still struggling.
https://www.globaltimes.cn//content/1177737.shtml
The antibiotics don’t fight the virus because the virus has never been proven to physically exist. There are antibiotics which actually work on the immune system as well as keeping bacteria in check which play their role in most inflammatory processes due to toxicity or injury.
The antibodies may have been effective against out of hand bacteria or something else but not any alleged unproven COV-19.

In the light of my link above, consider that belief in the virus – and its methodology of diagnosis,attracts biocidal treatments – which are bio-warfare.
The same thing was done with AIDS
http://www.whale.to/aids.html
A lot of questions asked above have known answers like how are cases confirmed. Perhaps this could be googled and the answer posted as an addendum to this piece so that some facts can be discussed.
The ‘how are cases confirmed’ question is still a work in progress. This infection mimics generic influenza so the biggest problems that health workers have include first identifying that this is a novel infection and then figuring out how to test for it. By the time this has happened many people who were infected have recovered (and quite possibly passed the infection onto others). Refining the reporting has caused a recent big jump in reported cases — its not a sudden spike in infection but rather a better understanding of what was going on as the Chinese can now identify infected and recovered patients by antibodies in their blood. Its particularly irritating when you find the news media trying to put a political spin on this. Sure, there might be politics involved, even CYA, but given the problems of trying to identify this type of outbreak I think the Chinese… Read more »
Islington, North London has one GP practice close it’s doors claiming the nCov outbreak according to the Groaniad!
Lol. That’ll be Corbyns fault then?
Seriously, GP practices have been under severe pressure due to turning them into profit centres years ago. The leads are so stressed many have taken their gold platted pensions – not available to newgen GP’s. Then they go back to be paid as loccuums in their own surgeries!
Many have been closing or are close to closing , so the claim that that one has closed because of the n-Cov seems a bit convenient and contrived.
Of course the reason for the failings have everything to do with creating conditions for furthet privatisation of the NHS.

Covid 19 is not a lung infection. It may enter the body through the lungs but it may be sexually transmitted too given it infects organs by binding to angiotensin 2 receptors. If left untreated it may destroy the pituitary gland, gonads and ovaries. It is adapting. It may not be limited to homo sapiens. It may take out the great apes. It may jump through dogs, cats, rats or birds before cycling back to us and it may become insect borne this sweltering spring and summer across the eurasian continent. The young tolerate it better, at least a first, but if it adapts itself to a strategy of mortality attenuation then maybe it just chews away at the germ cells in one’s scrotum, and no more bothersome than a set of blue balls for a few days. It is just little while after that you find you are not… Read more »
Why does it massively disproportionately afflict the Chinese?
You used the words ‘may’ or ‘maybe’ seven times there.
A rule of thumb that I find useful is to always treat the word ‘may’ or ‘maybe’ as the most important word in the sentence where it appears.
How can lifeless chemicals consisting of RNA with protein coats ADAPT ??????? Remember the general consensus of microbiologists is that alleged pathogenic viruses cannot do anything – the cells have to do everything for them including ADAPTING. If you really believe that then there’s not much hope for humanity.
RNA viruses can ‘adapt’ through mutation of the viral RNA genome as it replicates. LIke all mutational evolution, the vast majority of changes will either be ‘no change’ or render the virus inactive, hence they get diluted out. However, a small number may change capsid protein sequence in ways which affect their binding to host surface receptors, make them less antigenic to host immune systems etc.
If you seriously think that viruses cannot adapt, you need some basic scientific education.
Why do you think that flu vaccines only last a year or so? Flu virus adapts!!

Hubei Province reported 14,840 new cases (including 13,332 clinically diagnosed cases) of novel coronavirus pneumonia on Feb 12, with 242 new deaths and 802 cases of recovery. The total number of infections in the province climbed to 48,206, with 1,310 deaths and 3,441 cases of recovery.
—–
This is serious!
242 new deaths!!
At the regular increase in daily cases – lessthan 2000 – that would have implied a mortality of over 3.6%.
But with the equally astronomical increase in total cases it takes it down to 2.7%.
It seems there is some weird shit happening with the numbers.
I wondered why China would agree to part of this “live exercise”. It wouldn’t seem to do them any favours but perhaps a way to keep their tourism yen internal? And perhaps other countries are feeling that the proportion of Chinese visitors is on the high side now that Chinese affluence has greatly increased. I haven’t travelled overseas in years but I’ve heard mention of “lots of Chinese tourists”. Just a thought.
Should have put link that prompted my thought.

China is the motor of the world economy.
China wants to move away from a dollar-centric international monetary and financial system, towards a system based on gold reserves.
China is ready for that move, but how to bring the present system to an end?
Well, you need a cover story.
Is China pulling a sickie?
Just speculation – we shall have to wait and see.
What we do know is that this so-called epidemic is non-existent outside China.
Here is some more information regarding alleged ‘pathogenic coronaviruses’: Coronaviruses are specified as being large enveloped, positive single stranded viruses that can be divided into 4 genera: alpha, beta, delta, and gamma, of which alpha and beta CoVs, which are claimed to infect humans. It is also usually claimed that the RNA from these viruses can be isolated from nasopharyngeal and sputum samples obtained from infected patients. But that has NEVER been achieved in scientific practice to date, since we usually end up with ‘isolates’ containing impurities and other cellular materials including RNA (and DNA) from other sources but no actual physically isolated virus particles with their whole genomes etc intact. What has been ‘isolated’ are particles that may look like viruses but are not. These are obtained from cell cultures and band in sucrose density gradients after centrifugation. Their sizes are not consistent and they have been known to… Read more »
I thought the virus genome in question is composed of RNA and not DNA. Do you mean the DNA of the host was sequenced?
The sequencing of the viral genome is the correct statement to be made here, in my opinion.
Berlin Beerman wrote: I thought the virus genome in question is composed of RNA and not DNA. Do you mean the DNA of the host was sequenced?
I can answer that question. You are correct – the alleged viral genome is composed of RNA not DNA in theory. I say ‘in theory’ because purified coronavirus particles have never been physically isolated to biochemically characterize or determine their genetic sequences or proteins. A whole complete virus particle is absolutely required (which has never been obtained to date, and despite any claims to the contrary ) to act as a standard of comparison before you can do any sequencing or anything else.
In this outbreak we are told that about 1100 people have died so far – almost all from pneumonia. Let’s put that into context. Pneumonia is a common illness affecting approximately 450 million people a year and occurring in all parts of the world.[2] It is a major cause of death among all age groups, resulting in 1.4 million deaths in 2010 (7% of the world’s yearly total) and was the 4th leading cause of death in the world in 2016, resulting in 3.0 million deaths worldwide.[2][3] Pneumonia is a type of lower respiratory tract infection, and is also the most deadly communicable disease as of 2016.[3] Rates are greatest in children less than five and adults older than 75 years of age.[2] It occurs about five times more frequently in the developing world versus the developed world.[2] Viral pneumonia accounts for about 200 million cases.[2] ” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_pneumonia “•Pneumonia accounts… Read more »
Clickkid wrote: Pneumonia can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi. •Pneumonia can be prevented by immunization, adequate nutrition, and by addressing environmental factors. •Pneumonia caused by bacteria can be treated with antibiotics, but only one third of children with pneumonia receive the antibiotics they need. Pneumonia is an inflammatory reaction to endogenous or exogenous toxins which can be caused by a gamut of other factors beside viruses, bacteria, or fungi as these usually appear as secondary effects of pneumonia which are usually involved in the breakdown of diseased tissue cells unless of course you are subject to a bucketful of them first and your bodily defences and eliminative processes have already been compromised or overwhelmed. New cells cannot be rebuilt effectively in the same location unless the dead cells are removed and destroyed by bacteria and devoured by phagocytes.

I think this is interesting: The US and China have different statistical methods regarding the compilation of data for the incidence of normaal flu. https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1177725.shtml Snippet: “Analysts noted the US mortality rate looks much higher than China’s because of the two countries’ different statistical methods. The response came after some net users questioned whether the high death rate shows the ineffective control of flu in the US and how different countries should cooperate effectively to curb the new coronavirus-related disease. The flu epidemic in the US eased during the week of January 5-11 but remains active, with an estimated 13-18 million cases of flu illnesses documented since the start of the season, a latest report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said. The agency also estimates between 6,600 and 17,000 deaths related to influenza since October 1, 2019. Official Chinese data of flu-caused deaths is much… Read more »
Interesting, but then either China is underestimating or the US is overestimating deaths from flu.
But then in the US everything is bigger (food plates, weight, bullshit), which would mean that both countries could be right!
On a serious note, someone commented here that all deaths to flu in the US account also deaths due to pneumonia. If that is the case, the US overestimates.
Some context about pneumonia in China in a study from 2010:
“Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death in adults and children in China [4]. In urban areas, pneumonia is the fourth leading cause of death, and in rural areas pneumonia is the leading cause of death [5], [6]. A recent article in the Chinese literature estimated that each year in China there are 2.5 million patients with pneumonia and that 125,000 (5%) of these patients die of pneumonia-related illness [5”
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0011721
So the 1100 apparent fatal cases from this outbreak would represent less than 1% of the total pneumonia deaths for China in a typical year.
I’m increasingly moving towards calling ‘bullshit’ on this epidemic. Why am I doing that? Look at the figures ex-China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_Wuhan_coronavirus_outbreak_by_country_and_territory We are nearly mid-February and outside China still only 2 alleged fatalities. This is nearly 3 months after the alleged ‘outbreak’ – in a strongly interconnected and globalized world where people are travelling all the time. We are also seeing plenty of ‘recoveries’, although since so many of those ‘infected’ have no symptoms, it is not clear what they are supposed to have recovered from. Those 2 were both elderly. In normal circumstances their deaths would have been attributed to normal flu or whatever. I thought epidemics were supposed to – you know – kill lots of people and spread like wildfire. Investment manager Rick Rule is fond of saying “Arithmetic always trumps narrative”. The narrative is saying that this alleged virus is a threat to humanity and could kill… Read more »

According to the WHO, the naming of the virus should avoid any stigmatizing by not referring it to any specific geographic locations, animal, individuals’ names, species of animal, culture, population, industry or occupation.
Yeah…
Without wishing to disparage Jon Rappoport I think he’d be well served ditching his claim that “that there are between 2.8million and 17million deaths in China per year from pneumonia” – at leastways the higher end of it. Every year approximately 0.8% of any given human population will die – birthrate, deathrate, and all that. For the world this means about 55 million die every year. In China this figure is somewhere in the vicinity of 15 million annually. That figure can then be broken down into car crashes, cancer, pneumonia, etc. Thus it is possible that 2.8 million people in China die from pneumonia every year, although that would comprise 20% of all Chinese deaths and sounds rather high to me. But it’s possible. What isn’t possible is the figure of 17 million deaths by pneumonia. Given that macrocosmically correct arguments are often shot down over microcosmic errors he… Read more »
advice from Gov.uk…. In order to protect public health, and the health and welfare of those boarding evacuation flights from Wuhan/Hubei, all British nationals and immediate family members travelling on these flights will be quarantined for 14 days following arrival. Your ability to contact friends and family during quarantine will not be restricted. but: Q: If I self-evacuate, will I be placed in quarantine in the UK on arrival? A: No. People arriving from Wuhan and Hubei Province to the UK in the last 14 days should stay indoors and avoid contact with other people as you would with the flu, and call NHS 111 to inform them of your recent travel to the area. This applies even if you do not have symptoms of the virus.
