According to CNBC, banks in China are using “ultraviolet or heat treatments” to disinfect cash. A spokesperson for the World Health Organization told the news organization that “it has not issued any warnings or statements about the use of cash.”
However, WHO does suggest that people wash their hands after handling money, “especially if you’re eating or touching food,” CNBC reports.
Michael Knight, assistant professor of medicine at the George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences, told CNBC that coronavirus “only leads to infection when it is transferred from your hand to places like your mouth, nose or eyes.”
Telegraph reported that, according to the Bank of England, banknotes “can carry bacteria or viruses,” which is why people should wash their hands regularly. Telegraph quoted an unnamed WHO spokesperson as saying about the potential of people getting coronavirus from money, “Yes it’s possible and it’s a good question. We know that money changes hands frequently and can pick up all sorts of bacteria and viruses and things like that. We would advise people to wash their hands after handling banknotes, and avoid touching their face. When possible it’s a good idea to use contactless payments.”

Figures Don’t Lie, But Liars Can Figure - JThomas/AltaCali
Bad news travels fast; the truth travels slow; very slow. Although the initial hysterical claims of a New Black Plague have not materialized, the Mainstream Media Presstitutes continue to vamp the narrative that catching C-19 is the equivalent of a death sentence. All evidence so far is to the contrary, but the MSM has never been one to let facts get in the way of a good story. Let’s just ignore the Death March for a minute, at least until the MSM distinguishes between died with, of, or because of C-19. Instead, let us focus on the recovery rate for this “never seen before” dread disease, this “New Black Plague” that was supposed to kill millions. This virus on steroids… with spikes! A casual perusal of the Worldometer will show something is seriously wrong with this picture. The early theories by poorly-trained scientists and career bureaucrats predicted C-19 to spread rapidly in the Global South because of (a) lack of sanitation, (b) a population weakened by malnutrition, and (c) substandard to non-existent medical facilities. Au contraire, mon ami, C-19 has spread most rapidly and killed the most people in the most developed countries on Earth. China, pop. 1.4B. That’s “billion” with a “b.” China, the villain in this piece, China, with hundreds of millions of people still living in ancient, crowded, dirty cities and rural towns and villages with no running water. China, where “bushmeat” is a staple; even if you’re rich. Well, The Old Dragon has had less than 100K cases, of which 78K have recovered, and 116 are still active. So, the Disease That Killed The World (coming soon to a theatre near you), in the place it was claimed to originated, with a population of 1.4B people, had an infection rate of 0.000007142857. And since everybody wants to go there, a Death Rate of 0.00035714285714285714. Percent. Why does the USA have so many cases compared to China? Assuming these figures to be accurate, 600,000 cases is .18 % of the population. In English, that’s one-fifth of one percent. That’s an astronomical figure compared to China, but minuscule compared to the Big Picture. Even though the infection rate is orders of magnitude larger than China’s, it doesn’t approach the rates for seasonal flu. The Center For Disease Control says that in the USA from October 1, 2019 thru April 4, 2020, there have been between 39M and 56M “flu illnesses,” 18M to 26M “flu” medical visits, 410K to 740K “flu” hospitalizations, and BETWEEN 24K AND 62K “FLU” DEATHS (emphasis mine). These figure include the Dreaded C-19. OBTW, even with C-19, the number of hospitalizations is not even close to the 2017-2018 flu season. The 2014/15 and the 2012/13 seasons also had more hospitalizations for “flu-like diseases” than this season. Man, do I love charts and graphs when they support my arguments! If you examine the Worldometer chart, several other anomalies stick out like a, well, sore thumb. There is no discernible pattern of spread; the virus has appeared in places with no foreign contact, and there are at least three variants of the virus, so its true origins are unclear. There appears to be no rhyme or reason why the virus has spread like it did. I wonder why the Talking Heads are not talking about this? Here’s something from my new favorite website, Swiss Propaganda Research: “A Chinese study published in the Chinese Journal of Epidemiology in early March, which indicated the unreliability of the Covid19 virus tests (approx. 50% false-positive results in asymptomatic patients), has since been withdrawn. The lead author of the study, the dean of a medical school, did not want to give the reason for the withdrawal and spoke of a "sensitive matter", which could indicate political pressure, as an NPR journalist noted. "Independent of this study, however, the unreliability of so-called PCR virus tests has long been known: In 2003, for example, a mass infection in a Canadian nursing home with SARS corona viruses was “found“, which later turned out to be common cold corona viruses (which can also be fatal for risk groups)." If I were the editor of the New York Times, for example, I would have my investigative journalists cover the following stories: Why people are afraid of a disease with a 96% recovery rate? Why Cambodia, with 2M+ Chinese visitors a year, has only had 122 cases of which 50% have recovered, and there have been no deaths. Most of the cases were French or Malaysian tourists. Why the Global South is not just one big mass grave? Why the infection, recovery, and death rates vary so wildly in countries with similar levels of development? Whether or not the MSM is trying to deliberately spread fear and panic as a method to control the population before the population comes after The Elites with the torches and the pitchforks? Why the population of the Western World is so complacent, apathetic, uneducated, naive, and easily entertained (This includes liberals, progressives, conservatives, reactionaries, socialists, fascists, Christians, Muslims, and Jews). Why are Homo sapiens so, well, stupid. This “crisis” may indeed prove one theory: all human beings are basically alike. ©2020 JThomas/BlackHorseMedia

Image by Sergey Nivens Read it and weep: After decades of reporting five levels of literacy, the largest adult literacy study in the world has dropped the top level.
Can you read me now? Researchers in the world’s largest adult literacy study dropped the top level of literacy in 2013. Too few people to count can read at that level.
The reason: Just 2% of adults worldwide — barely enough to count — performed at Level 5. So researchers combined it with Level 4 in their most recent report.
Welcome to the world of literacy today, according to the latest Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies, or PIAAC.
PIAAC is an enormous, every-10-year study of adult literacy, developed and organized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Education. The study seeks to determine how well adults are prepared to function in today’s society.
Here’s what they learned in the latest study.
Most read at basic or below-basic literacy levels.
Some 52% of all Americans (global literacy rate: 49%) have basic or below-basic reading skills.

Gerba notes that technological advancements like large airliners, massive sports stadiums, and the proliferation of self-service kiosks have made it easier for diseases to spread rapidly. Mobile devices like smartphones can pick up germs from contaminated hands and then offload those germs later on to spread in a new location. Enveloped viruses like SARS-CoV-2—which rely on a protective lipid coating—are the easiest type to deactivate. In contrast with many gastrointestinal viruses like norovirus which have a tough protein shell called a capsid, viruses with this fatty wrapping are relatively vulnerable. “It’s much more sensitive. It’s sort of a wimpy protective shell,” says virologist Seema Lakdawala of the University of Pittsburgh. There are a few ways to burst this flimsy shell. Alcohol-based products disintegrate the protective lipids. Quaternary ammonium disinfectants, commonly used in health-care and food-service industries, attack protein and lipid structures, thwarting the pathogen’s typical mode of infection. Bleach and other potent oxidizers swiftly break down a virus’s essential components.

Amidst the coronavirus lockdown, some of the claims of governments and media have been shown to be exaggerated. Ten years ago, they tried the same thing with swine flu. They haven’t learned their lessons — has the public?
On Wednesday, RT picked apart the sensationalist mortality rates that media and governments have been using to terrify the public. These figures are the product of some transparently weak statistics, and cast the true threat from Covid-19 into doubt. There is a saying among statisticians who generate the projections of how pandemics will spread that goes: ‘But a decade on, the lessons of history appear to have been forgotten. The coronavirus origin story, which is like something from a Hollywood movie, and the fact that it is somewhat more dangerous than swine flu, along with social media information saturation have combined to make a perfect storm of overreaction that will plunge the world into a second Great Depression.
Worst of all is a social climate that labels those questioning established narratives and conventional wisdom as pariahs. And if you do question those narratives, as ancient wisdom teaches us to, you are as likely to be shouted down by Joe Public as you are by a blue-checked journalist. All you can do, as an open minded individual, is to think for yourself, take nothing for granted and stay safe. Not only from the virus, but from the reckless media hype as well.

Coronoia: A Classic Psy-Op Executed By Intelligence Professionals - JThomas/AltaCali
Things That Make You Go: Hmmmm: Why is the most over-industrialized country in the world with the most onerous vaccination schedule, advanced medical research institutes, a mature biotech industry, and the most prescription drug sales in the Western world also the unhealthiest? Do flu vaccines even work? Why is there no cure or vaccine for the “common cold?” How did a bunch of Talking Heads who didn’t pay attention in biology class become experts in immunology and microbiology? Why doesn’t the daily headline scream: “96% Of CORONAVIRUS PATIENTS RECOVER!?” Ginger, or Mary Anne? Enquiring minds want to know….. They got us right where they want us. Brain-addled by staring for an average of 7 hours a day at our Fondle Slabs (like most statistics, this one was made up on the spot)), our perception of reality hopelessly distorted by years of brainwashing…I mean “education,” we were led like sheep to the slaughter. “Stop running around. Go inside, sit still, and (most importantly), BE QUIET!” Sound familiar? Apparently, you Kids missed the memo (Another Brick In The Wall, Pink Floyd, 1979). We were not taught to think for ourselves; we were taught to follow orders; to obey. What just happened? The largest transfer of wealth to the Plutocrats and of state power to the Bureaucrats in the History Of The World (see: They Just Stole The Whole Damn World While We Watched GOT Reruns. And By “We,” I Mean “You.”. The deed was done the moment they got everyone to freak out over a “disease” with a 96% recovery rate. No coercion necessary. Just as in hypnosis (and real majick), you must voluntarily surrender control of your psyche for the thing to work. You must participate of your own free will. And we did. And by “we,” I mean “you.” Why? Because people don’t Do Their Own Damn Research. Why? Because people can’t or won’t read. Why? Because human beings are genetically pre-disposed to be lazy. Why? Because who the Hell really wants to work? One of the most extraordinary thing about Coronoia is how people who couldn’t begin to describe cell function are all of a sudden qualified to speak about immunology. Not just speak, but pontificate, moralize, sermonize, and call people who disagree with them “conspiracy theorists. ‘Oh, I think we should lockdown until they find a vaccine.” Really? The problem is that these people are reporters, not journalists. “Talking Heads,” just repeating official talking points. I’ve been listening to the Bilious (curmudgeonly, pettish,) Broadcasting System on the inter webs. The BBC is the ultimate propaganda machine, spewing out perfectly produced segments that all lead to the same conclusion: we’re all going to die. Oh wait, what’s that, the virus has peaked in Europe? Most people have recovered? Deaths this year worldwide from respiratory illnesses are lower than last year…? (BBC): “But, but…Africa! South America! India!” “Things are going to get worse in your underdeveloped country! Sir! Madam! How are you going to cope with no proper medical facilities, food, water, or money?! Don’t you realize…you’re all going to die!” The first casualty of Coronoia was the truth. The next victims will be the children. Scared witless about some invisible “disease” that that might kill them, they will stay glued to screens for the rest of their lives, trying to find their lost youth. So parents, be responsible. Limit your child to one hour a day on any screen, unless watching a movie with the family.

Against the backdrop of the panic “We are all going to die!”, Terrifying revelations of doctors and patients, quarantined states and apocalyptic news from Italy, I want to hear the voice of common sense.
Alexander Evsin ( pictured below ) – head of the situation center, deputy head of the data center (Center for Traffic Management of the Moscow Government). At the moment, the shift on duty is involved in large-scale anti-epidemiological measures in the city – in particular, it provides traffic management in the area of the construction of a new infectious diseases hospital.
Alexander Evsin himself is a specialist in assessing the degree of threats of various kinds, including large-scale epidemics. He is an analyst, and his posts on the Internet are interesting primarily because they are calm and logical.
– You are criticized for writing about the epidemic without a hitch and knowledgeably, but you are not a medic.
– I have worked in military intelligence for 17 years, where I have always been serious about global threats. By education – engineer-mathematician. I have been working professionally for 25 years in the field of information processing and its evaluation. I have vast practical experience in researching data on the widest range of applied areas. This always includes immersion in the subject area, study of the issue and consultation with specialists.
Of course, I studied the existing problem to the extent sufficient for risk assessment. So you can consider my personal opinion regarding COVID-19 as the look of a specialist in probabilistic-statistical methods of analysis.

They Just Stole The Whole Damn World While We Watched GOT Reruns. And By “We,” I Mean “You.”- JThomas/AltaCali/ThePlanetaryArchives - BlackHorseMedia
And by “they,” I mean the same families and their “corporations” that have been running the world since the European plunder of the Americas. Oh, so now you finally realize you’re been living in a totalitarian socialist dystopia all this time? You really believed you were “free?” Bwahahaha….. As far as this particular strain of the flu is concerned; so far the mortality rate is about the same as the “regular” flu. Most people who are dying are of Asian descent, over 80 years of age, and have two or more underlying conditions. Which is a polite way of saying “were going to die anyway.” The numbers on the ground, and in the ground do not support the wild claims make by the presstitutes in the MainStreamMedia. “Pandemic?” Hardly. You do the math When Columbus ran aground on Hispanola, Europe was still in the Dark Ages. The Spanish brought back gold, silver, and emeralds to Spain, where it was plundered by the English and French. From 1500 until WWII, the Euros fought over this wealth, as well as who controlled the new colonies in the Americas. Great Britain pretty much won North of present day Mexico; Spain and Portugal South of that. The Global North have squandered their resources; and have their beady little minds are fixed on the Global South. Englands war on Argentina in 1982 was a foretaste of things to come. Venezuela anyone? What just happened was a massive reset of the world economy. The Elites have finally realized (or have known for some time) that there are no more jobs (which I wrote about in 1989), no more cheap resources to extract, and no more cheap labor. Solution? Lay-off half of the workforce indefinitely; let them eat cake until the mechanisms of surveillance, crowd control, and detention are in place, and then roll the dice. This is a test; this is only a test, and We The People have failed miserably. The test was to see if U.S. settlers have any of the old revolutionary war or pioneering spirit or” gumption” left. Apparently the answer is “No.” The Oligarchs are pretty confident that they can handle any shootouts with civilians (see Waco, Texas and Ruby Ridge). Now that drone technology has been perfected, they can wipe out any so-called “militia” from 1000 miles away. So no, the days of armed rebellion are long gone. But I’m sure there are some real hard-cases left who would rather die on their feet than live on their knees...especially if they have to stay indoors. This lockdown is not about not being able to go shopping or entertainment event; it’s about absolute control over freedom of movement and association. Also the right to earn a living, or otherwise, you know, survive. $1200?! That’s the tab for a modest dinner party for eight in a good San Francisco restaurant. Maybe will include taxes and tips; probably not wine, coffee, or dessert. This paltry sum will surely be welcomed by most people, especially after being de facto starved for a month. But I’m guessing that half the people being laid off today will never be rehired. Also, I wonder how many marriages will be ruined as couples really get to know each other, and run screaming into the night? When tis “emergency” is over, and if you can find a corporate job, you will work from home, or in spaces like the WeWork concept. Spend $100M to build a skyscraper? Not on your life. I’ll have another yacht, or home, or private plane, thank you. I f you don’t have a job servicing the machines, you will have one servicing humans. The number of housekeepers, nannies, gardeners, drivers, and food service workers with B.A.’s and M.A.s will increase exponentially. You might even nab a Ph.D to paint your house… All the money that used to go into auto sales and products, road, bridge, and mass transit construction, fast food, coffee, and restaurants, the hospitality industry, the travel industry, credit card fees, entertainment industry (except gambling); all that cash will be “redistributed”… and not to you. Half the businesses that have shut down will never re-open. Many that do will be managed by a touchscreen, or AI robot. Spoiler alert: no drug, doctor, or hospital will save you. A bullet-proof immune system is your ONLY defense against disease. Vaccines may work for some people, they may not for others. Pharmaceuticals only control symptoms (make you “feel better”) until your immune system fights off the pathogens. Most pharmaceuticals are very toxic; read the label. Is bleeding from the eyes a risk with taking for a random ache or pain? Go down the chemical path at your own risk. This is not advice, this is facts. The best disinfectant is sunlight; specifically ultra-violet radiation. Saltwater is also a good disinfectant. So is salt (sodium chloride), alcohol, chlorine, vinegar, and ammonia. Boiling water kills most viruses that prey on humans. Bars of soap and air-dryers are breeding grounds for pathogens. A nail brush is necessary to properly wash your hands. Natural anti-virals include ginger, garlic, onions, chiles, basil, honey, and turmeric. I did not say that that any of these things will protect you against coronavirus. I am saying that you are surrounded by pathogens, including coronaviruses, 24/7. Do Your Own Damn Research… Apparently biology is not being taught in schools anymore; most “educated” people in the USA have NO idea how their body works, other than that they must stuff their faces. Speaking of faces, how many viruses, bacteria, and other organisms are living in those (passè) hipster beards? Or that (passè) Jesus or Bob Marley hair? Or under those un-manicured fingernails? How about your fondle-slab? The last faucet-knob or door handle or railing or salt and pepper shaker or condiment bottle you touched? Have you wiped down all surfaces in your house with a bleach solution or Lysol? What about the filthy, filthy lucre in your pocket? Dollar-bills are used all over the world, and have to be among the dirtiest things on the planet…bedsides your grubby little paws. Tip; buy and use disposable tissue and wipes. So don’t panic about the coronavirus, Kiddies. Take sensible precautions, and carry on. Resist authoritarianism however you can. If you need something to worry about, consider where your next meal is coming from, and how another four years of the Trump/Pelosi administration will look….. ©2020 JThomas/BlackHorseMedia

White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Deborah Brix warned the public not to panic when they hear about models and projections of the pandemic's spread.
"Models are models," she said. "When people start talking about 20% of a population getting infected, it's very scary, but we don't have data that matches that based on our experience."
She said the media should not "make the implication that when they need a hospital bed it's not going to be there, or a ventilator, it's not going to be there, we don't have evidence of that."
"It's our job collectively to assure the American people," she also said. "There is no model right now -- no reality on the ground where we can see that 60% to 70% of Americans are going to get infected in the next eight to 12 weeks. I want to be clear about that."
DR. DEBORAH BRIX: I'm sure you have seen the recent report out of the U.K. about them adjusting completely their needs. This is really quite important. If you remember, that was the report that says there would be 500,000 deaths in the U.K. and 2.2 million deaths in the United States. They've adjusted that number in the U.K. to 20,000. Half a million to 20,000. We are looking at that in great detail to understand that adjustment.
I'm going to say something that is a little bit complicated but do it in a way we can understand it together. In the model, either you have to have a large group of people who a-asymptomatic, who never presented for any test to have the kind of numbers predicted. To get to 60 million people infected, you have to have a large group of a-symptomatics. We have not seen an attack rate over 1 in 1,000. So either we are measuring the iceberg and underneath it, are a large group of people. So we are working hard to get the antibody test and figure out who these people are and do they exist. Or we have the transmission completely wrong.
So these are the things we are looking at, because the predictions of the model don't match the reality on the ground in China, South Korea or Italy. We are five times the size of Italy. If we were Italy and did all those divisions, Italy should have close to 400,000 deaths. They are not close to achieving that.
Models are models. We are -- there is enough data of the real experience with the coronavirus on the ground to really make these predictions much more sound. So when people start talking about 20% of a population getting infected, it's very scary, but we don't have data that matches that based on our experience.
And the situation about ventilators. We are reassured in meeting with our colleagues in New York that there are still I.C.U. Beds remaining and still significant -- over 1,000 or 2,000 ventilators that have not been utilized.
Please for the reassurance of people around the world, to wake up this morning and look at people talking about creating DNR situations, Do Not Resuscitate situations for patients, there is no situation in the United States right now that warrants that kind of discussion. You can be thinking about it in the hospital. Certainly, hospitals talk about this on a daily basis, but to say that to the American people and make the implication that when they need a hospital bed it's not going to be there or a ventilator, it's not going to be there, we don't have evidence of that.
It's our job collectively to assure the American people, it's our job to make sure that doesn't happen. You can see the cases are concentrated in highly urban areas and there are other parts of the states that have lots of ventilators and other parts of New York state that don't have any infected. We can meet the needs by being responsive.
There is no model right now -- no reality on the ground where we can see that 60% to 70% of Americans are going to get infected in the next eight to 12 weeks. I want to be clear about that. We are adapting to the reality on the ground and looking at the models of how they can inform but learning from South Korea and Italy and from Spain and I know you will look up my numbers.

In March 2019, in a mysterious event, a shipment of exceptionally virulent viruses from Canada’s NML biological labs ended up in China. Canadian officials say the shipment was part of its efforts to support public-health research worldwide. They claimed that it was just normal procedure. What is unclear is why it was done in secret, and why the Chinese officials lodged a complaint. For certain, if this was just a routine transfer, the Chinese government would have been notified. In July 2019, a group of Chinese virologists were forcibly dispatched from the Canadian National Microbiology Laboratory (NML). The NML is Canada’s only level-4 facility and one of only a few in North America equipped to handle the world’s deadliest diseases, including Ebola, SARS, Coronavirus, etc. On October 18th, 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in conjunction with the World Economic Forum assembled “15 leaders of business, government, and public health” to simulate a scenario in which a coronavirus pandemic was ravaging the planet. Major participants were American military leadership, and certain neocon political figures. The Chinese were not invited. The members took notes, and then returned to their day to day operations. In Simulation Run 3 Months Ago, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Predicted Up To 65 Million Deaths Via Coronavirus. 300 US military personnel arrived in Wuhan for the Military World Games on October 19. The first coronavirus case appeared two weeks later, on November 2. Coronavirus incubation period is 14 days. Two months later a very similar coronavirus pandemic hit China at Wuhan, a major transport hub in Central China and for the high-speed train network, and with 60 air routes with direct flights to most of the world’s major cities, as well as more than 100 internal flights to major Chinese cities right at the Spring Festival travel rush when hundreds of millions of people travel across the country to be with their families.

Given some of the hostility doing the rounds at the moment when people have questioned the response of Governments to this outbreak, I anticipate that some might well have read this piece and still think that I have said that Covid-19 is not a problem. I have not said that, and I do not think that. What I have said can essentially be summed up as follows: There has been a lack of reliable data upon which to take monumental socioeconomic decisions. Nevertheless, monumental socioeconomic decisions have been taken anyway. These decisions will have profound effects, quite possibly tanking the economy, plunging people into poverty, destroying civil liberties, and risking civil unrest. Now that more reliable data has started to come in, it seems to be showing that the initial concerns were vastly overblown. Given the above, we must look not just at the left-hand side of the scales, but also the right-hand side, and calmly assess whether the measures being taken are proportionate, or whether they are likely to do far, far more harm to the lives of millions than the threat they are intended to deal with. Adding the new data coming out about the virus and mortality rates to the left-hand side of the balances, and considering the seismic and devastating effects on people, families, businesses, society and the economy that the current response is likely to bring, I can’t say I am remotely convinced that the path we are charting is proportionate or wise. For the Black Death, yes. For Covid-19, I remain sceptical.
