• Coronavirus outbreak in France did not come directly from China, gene-tracing scientists say
  

  “The French outbreak has been mainly seeded by one or several variants of this clade … we can infer that the virus was silently circulating in France in February,” said researchers led by Dr Sylvie van der Werf and Etienne Simon-Loriere in a non-peer reviewed paper released on bioRxiv.org last week.

  Vaccines are unlikely to be effective against a fast-mutating virus, which is why they are generally less effective with viruses. On a side note, if they develop a vaccine, it may also be effective against the common cold, but experience with this pandemic shows us that if we take too much of a load off our immune systems, we become weak to unknown organisms. Perhaps the anti-vax people were onto something after all: vaccinate for Polio, sure, and other super-killers. But measles? Chicken pox? The immune system needs to train just like any athlete.

  EU is an enemy of Israel, and an enemy to all European Christian countries! Schengen zone is dead and soon your evil globalist organization will be too, and Europe will return to be free, democratic and Christian!

  If he threw “nationalistic” in there, it would be a truly exponentially red-pilled moment. As it is, he has set the groundwork for his future political career by, like his father, quietly extending an olive branch to nationalists, even those that dislike Jews, because only nationalists understand the struggle faced by Israel and will give it the autonomy to remove Palestinians and thrive.

• UN chief: don’t use taxpayer money to save polluting industries
  This is why our prole-elites love socialism: when they are paying the bills with your money, they can withhold it from you for non-conformity.
• China’s new ‘rule of law’ in Hong Kong sets stage for new protests
  

  “It’s basically a declaration on the part of Beijing that Basic Law doesn’t constrain their power at all,” said Angeline Chan, convener of the Progressive Lawyers Group.

  As predicted, China will seize Hong Kong and make it part of China, then wonder why its famed wealth and prestige does not follow. The same would happen if North Korea seized Hawaii.

• US study finds Gilead drug works against coronavirus
  

  In a study of 1,063 patients sick enough to be hospitalized, Gilead Sciences’s remdesivir shortened the time to recovery by 31% — 11 days on average versus 15 days for those just given usual care, officials said. The drug also might be reducing deaths, although that’s not certain from the partial results revealed so far.

  We at least now have a basic treatment to reduce deaths. It seems uninspiring, but it will go a long way toward restoring public confidence.

• Australian intelligence officials have no evidence of Wuhan lab link to coronavirus

  Read past the headline:

  The intelligence has found no evidence that the Wuhan lab was the cause of the outbreak – only that it is one of a number of scenarios that cannot be ruled out.

  To date, the total number of reported patients treated with HCQ, with or without zinc and the widely used antibiotic azithromycin, is 2,333, writes AAPS, in observational data from China, France, South Korea, Algeria, and the U.S. Of these, 2,137 or 91.6 percent improved clinically.

• Pelosi says “guaranteed income” for Americans is worth considering for coronavirus recovery
  Backdoor socialism by any method, apparently. Done in the market socialist model — high taxes and free markets — this provides permanent wealth for Leftists, who otherwise would be picking turnips and cotton.

  Once you have a Revolution, there must always be a scapegoat Enemy to attack instead of looking at how prole-run society does not hold together so well.

• Pentagon shifts money from overseas projects to fill hole caused by border wall funding

  Trump’s plan is simple: make it harder to come here and return to Mexico, which reduces the confidence that illegal immigrants have in success here and escape if they need it. He will build this border fence, then when it succeeds, appeal for more funds to make an actual wall. The current pandemic seems to make his argument for him.

• The ACLU Wants To Know Why Facebook Beat a 2018 Wiretap Case
  

  “It’s already publicly known that the Justice Department can’t wiretap Facebook’s messaging services,” Jennifer Granick, an attorney representing the ACLU, told the judges. “What isn’t known is the reason why.”

• S.Korea’s March factory output expands unexpectedly as virus disrupts Chinese production

  The world is replacing totalitarian and unstable China with manufacturing in each nation. This will strengthen everyone but China and the rest of the third world, which lives off of the jobs chucked its way by the first world.

• Senior Russian official uncovered as MH17 suspect

  Trump has found his way of smashing the enemies: lawsuits. There will be huge damages assessed against Russia for MH17 and China for COVID-19. If these countries do not pay, and they probably will be unable to do so, America will use this as leverage for further withdrawing from the global economy and starving these countries into oblivion, much as they have done successfully with Iran. This means that instead of attacking the USA, Russia-China will be forced to attack nearby wealthy nations in the hope of pulling itself out of a terminal economic collapse.

• Alaska school board removes ‘The Great Gatsby,’ other famous books from curriculum for ‘controversial’ content

  Great literature is always controversial, just like any discussions worth having. The Left wants to remove anything but Leftist propaganda, and they will clear out all of the classics if they can.

• Trump orders meat processing plants to remain open

  Is it worth a few COVID deaths so that we can keep our food supply rolling, and not destroy the lives of animals and plants for nothing?

• Scientists uncover evidence coronavirus could trigger diabetes in healthy adults

  Most likely, stress on the body causes all sorts of lurking conditions to pop out into the open. Ethnically-mixed whites — hybrids of Southern, Eastern, and Western Europeans — contain enough trace admixture and conflicting genetic profiles to, anecdotally at least, have a ton of health problems. The Millennials were the first generation where children on expensive cocktails of exotic medications were a common sight.
