UK government seeks to end coronavirus lockdown with 'immunity passports'

Quote

No 10 is facing fresh questions over its coronavirus testing plan, as it emerged that the government is hoping to exit the lockdown through controversial “immunity passports” and antibody tests that are still not proven to work.

 

In the face of intense criticism, the health secretary, Matt Hancock, on Thursday admitted for the first time that mistakes had been made. “There will be criticisms made, and some of them will be justified,” he told the daily press briefing.

 

NOTHING could go wrong with that idea.  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL!

Pence says that people without insurance won't have to worry about paying for COVID-19 treatment - the federal government will reimburse hospitals for those costs.  Doesn't that sort of shaft insurance companies, from their point of view?  Will insurance companies start groveling for money to cover the costs as well? 

 

Probably.

Looks like the US is buying gear out from under France and Canada as they are being loaded onto planes:

Same thing for a Canadian shipment. American officials are offering cash to buy out the already-paid-for gear that other countries have ordered.

 

America is certainly doing what it can to further erode its leadership during this global crisis!

I'm absolutely certain that those American "officials" were actually officers from "The Company".

 

They usually have actual cash readily available for contingencies.

The Americans who showed up with stacks of actual cash on the airport tarmacs to buy those supplies for three times the price the original buyers paid are CIA operatives -- I'm all but sure of it!

 

This is the sort of thing the CIA's "black budget" is good for - when the US government needs to spend virtually untraceable huge amounts of money in a hurry with zero oversight, bypassing the usual protocols.

The Military Knew Years Ago That a Coronavirus Was Coming (The Nation)

Quote

Despite President Trump’s repeated assertions that the Covid-19 epidemic was “unforeseen” and “came out of nowhere,” the Pentagon was well aware of not just the threat of a novel influenza, but even anticipated the consequent scarcity of ventilators, face masks, and hospital beds, according to a 2017 Pentagon plan obtained by The Nation.

 

“The most likely and significant threat is a novel respiratory disease, particularly a novel influenza disease,” the military plan states. Covid-19 is a respiratory disease caused by the novel (meaning new to humans) coronavirus. The document specifically references coronavirus on several occasions, in one instant saying, “Coronavirus infections [are] common around the world.”

In call with PM Trudeau, Premiers offer to divert protective gear to provinces with greater need

 

Quote

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a virtual meeting with Canada's premiers this evening about the pressing need for critical medical supplies in the face of an expected surge in COVID-19 cases and a global battle to secure life-saving equipment.

 

The call with provincial and territorial leaders took place as public health agencies across Canada scramble to prepare for a sharp rise in infected patients as they face shortages of ventilators, masks and personal protective equipment (PPE).

 

Alberta's Conservative premier, Jason Kenney, said everyone was focused on the same goal.

 

"Impressed by how [Canada] is coming together to fight this invisible enemy," he said on Twitter after the meeting. "I'm also moved by strong solidarity for Alberta's double whammy: the COVID recession [and] the energy price crash."

 

A Liberal source speaking on background told CBC News that some premiers offered to forgo their expected deliveries of personal protective equipment (PPE) in order to divert the supplies to provinces with a greater need. Premiers and the prime minister were also agreed that there is no need to enact the federal Emergencies Act.

 

In today's daily media briefing, Health Minister Patty Hajdu said a special advisory committee led by Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam and deputy ministers of health for the provinces and territories will determine what supplies go where.

 

She said she's encouraged by the level of collaboration to date.

 

"We need to see Canada pulling together — provinces and territories obviously preparing for their own particular scenarios, and their own particular surges, but also to be understanding that if product is needed across the country in an area where there is a surge, that they will be there to help their fellow Canadians," she said.

 

:clap:

 

Pubic health officials (bureaucrats) will be deciding where PPE goes in Canada, meaning provinces won't have to compete against each other like American states.
