• First babies born infected with coronavirus
• Hong Kong closes borders with mainland
• Doctors say death rate exaggerated by Wuhan fatalities
• Cruise ship quarantined in Hong Kong
• WHO asks for more money as it ‘confirms’ China’s numbers
• 2 planeloads of Americans evacuated from Wuhan landed in California early Wednesday

Update (1850ET): 10 more nCoV cases have been confirmed among the ~3,000 passengers of the Princess Diamond cruise ship, which is being quarantined in Yokohama.

Though authorities haven’t said much, it’s pretty clear that all of these cases – 20 so far – were transmitted via human-to-human contact with the passenger who was diagnosed with the virus in Hong Kong.

After Japanese authorities assured the public that everything would be fine and that they had the virus contained, this cruise ship has just dropped a nasty problem in their lap.

It might be easier – or at least more politically expedient – if PM Abe just sank the thing.

Update (1817ET): South Korea just confirmed four more cases of the virus, bringing their total to 23.

That moves them into fifth place in front of Hong Kong…

…not that it’s a race.

Update (1715ET): The death toll from the coronavirus outbreak has passed 560 after Chinese authorities announced 70 new deaths and more than 3,000 new cases.

Hubei alone reported 2,987 new cases and 70 new deaths, the largest single-day death toll yet. There are now just below 20,000 confirmed cases in Hubei alone.

Earlier, the SCMP pointed out that China has reported a significant drop in new suspected cases and a rise in both the number of confirmed cases and the number of cases in life-threatening condition since Tuesday, a sign that the epidemic is speeding up. The number of new suspected cases dropped from 5,173 on Sunday and 5,072 on Monday to 3,971 on Tuesday. In Hubei alone, new suspected cases dropped from 3,260 on Sunday, and 3,182 on Monday to 1,957 cases on Tuesday.

Here’s the latest count from the SCMP:

Suspiciously, the death toll has been curiously steady at around 2.1% even as more and more cases have been confirmed every day.

Update (1415ET): It hasn’t even been two hours since the CDC affirmed that no new cases of the virus had been confirmed since the weekend, and Wisconsin Health Authorities have just confirmed the first case in their state – bringing the national total to 12.

Earlier, a spokesperson for the Coast Guard said it will begin checking passengers and crew of ships arriving in the US for symptoms of the virus, particularly if they’re from certain parts of China.

“These are pretty tight as far as advance notice of arrivals, the Coast Guard’s screening every vessel coming in,” said Coast Guard spokesman Kurt Fredrickson. “We have very good visibility on where ships have been, where the crew are from.”

Update (1330ET): Just the other day, a spokesperson for the government in Beijing blasted the US for spreading panic about the coronavirus outbreak. Now, another mouthpiece for the regime is hinting that the US should offer China some “leniency” on fulfilling its obligations under the ‘Phase 1’ trade deal, confirming the suspicions of some analysts who anticipated a problem after the White House said it still expected China to adhere to its commitments.

China is concentrating on battling coronavirus. The US government should be flexible on China-US phase one trade deal as a way to show goodwill to Chinese people working hard to contain the epidemic. I believe doing so will not harm President Trump’s image among American public.31212:27 PM – Feb 5, 2020Twitter Ads info and privacy241 people are talking about this

So the virus is now threatening both the global growth and trade detente narratives. We suspect the market will start pricing in more rate cuts in the not too distant future.

Update (1300ET): The CDC held a ‘brief’ press briefing on Wednesday to discuss the ongoing effort to evacuate Americans from Wuhan, and to offer an update on the status of the outbreak in the US.

There have been no new confirmed cases in the US since the last update, the CDC said. 206 people have tested negative, and 76 more patients remain under observation. All of the confirmed US cases are recovering and are expected to survive.

The CDC added that two planes landed in California Wednesday (as we noted earlier), and two more tomorrow. The planes will land/landed at Travis Air Force Base in Sacramento, CA, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, CA, Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX Eppley Airfield in Omaha, NE.

Passengers will be screened upon landing and if there is reason to suspect they have been infected they will be quarantined for 14 days.

But with a larger outbreak expected, the CDC said it started shipping its coronavirus test kits to more than 100 public health labs nationwide. Each kit services 700-800 patient samples. After states validate the tests, which could take a few days, they’ll start reporting any new cases directly.

The mandatory quarantine orders – the first in 50 years – are the beginning of what could be a “long response,” according to the CDC’s Nancy Messonnier.

“This could be the beginning of what could be a long response,” Dr. Nancy Messonnier said.

She also described the threat as an “unprecedented” public health threat.

“While we recognize this is an unprecedented action, we are facing an unprecedented public health threat,” Messonnier said last week.

The four latest evacuation flights come after the first government-chartered flight from Wuhan landed at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside, California last week. The flight’s 195 passengers remain under quarantine at the base.
 

Travel to China from the U.S. is restricted, and U.S. residents in China are encouraged to leave as soon as possible, following CDC and Chinese authority prevention guidance.

If you’re looking for an easy primer on the virus and its history, the CDC recently tweeted this video.

Around the world, the march of suspected cases continues on. Brazil just announced 11 suspected cases – what would be the first cases in South America, if confirmed. In Cali, the state with the most confirmed cases in the US, five health care workers at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose were exposed to the new coronavirus while treating a patient there, and have now been sent home and told to remain isolated until Feb. 11.

Those workers sure are lucky they aren’t in China.

Update (1100ET): At this point, most people who have been paying attention probably understand that the coronavirus pandemic probably won’t be ‘contained’ within China

But in case you had not yet been disabused of that notion, we’d like to turn things over to the WHO, which has repeatedly defended China’s response and transparency. In what looks like an attempt to shore up confidence in the numbers being released by Beijing, the WHO has “confirmed” that more than 3,100 new cases of the virus were discovered in China over the last 24 hours.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a Wednesday afternoon news conference in Switzerland that the reported cases are “the most cases in a single day since the outbreak started.”

The World leaders Are Having Trouble With The Truth, and The World Has been “Quarantined” Tribulation Is Here…

Question — Why Are These High-Tech Conglomerates Afraid of the Truth? The answer, Because They Know the American People Have Become Lazy, Like Sheep They Need a Leader and They Chose High-Tech, It Will Be the Downfall of This Country Unless the People Change Course or the Mindset of These High-Tech Elitists stop suppressing the truth. If the people don’t wake-up, they will begin to live in the worst nightmare of their lives, “Lost Social Media Reality”…

Demon Virus
Asked about the virus while traveling abroad last week, Trump said: “We have it totally under control”. In a separate Twitter posting, he offered reassurance but scant detail for his confidence. By Associated Press Updated On: 05:53 PST, Jan 31, 2020

WASHINGTON: Wuhan coronavirus: Donald Trump says deadly outbreak ‘very well under control’ as WHO declares a global emergency. President Donald Trump regaled a friendly New Jersey campaign crowd with his thoughts about impeachment, the economy, the border wall, local politics and much more.

But he was conspicuously quiet on January 28 about one big issue keeping much of the globe on pins and needles: the spread of a deadly new type of coronavirus. It has killed more than 170 people in China, sickened thousands more there and led to a handful of confirmed cases in the US, including the first US case of person-to-person transmission reported on by health officials. The State Department on January 30 advised all US citizens against traveling to China.

Trump, a self-described germaphobe, generally has discussed the virus in broad terms, but he offered some of his most extensive comments on the issue to date during an appearance on January 30 at a Michigan manufacturing plant. “Hopefully, it won’t be as bad as some people think it could be, but we’re working very closely with them (Chinese) and with a lot of other people and a lot of other countries, he said. “We think we have it very well under control.”

The Birth Pains Are Growing Stronger….

One of the signs of ruling class collapse is when they can no longer enforce the rules that maintain them as a ruling class. When the Romans started making exceptions to republican governance, it was a matter of time before someone simply decided the rules no longer applied to them. Perhaps the robot historians will consider Obama our Marius or Sulla. Maybe that person is in the near future. Either way, the rule of law is over and what comes next is the rule of men.

“Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.” as in Nancy Pelosi (D-San Fran-feces)

Our government has been overthrown. As evidenced by Trump’s capitulation on the border, his recent servitude to the GMO industry and his acquiescence to the warmongers, our President has been compromised. Our liberties are being eliminated one by one. Gun confiscation is next. The Constitution is gasping its last breaths. Our borders are destroyed and our culture has been turned upside down by every perversion known to man.

The watchman does not confuse truth with consensus. The Watchman does not confuse God’s word with the word of those who happen to hold power at present, or with the opinion of the majority. This is because powerholders and the majority can fall victim to a lying spirit-and this means a power that actually seizes the majority of experts, the political leadership, and the public.

Everything is right on schedule and, now, the time is come to remove one of the final obstacles standing in the way of a New World Order: The United States Constitution – even if, over the course of many decades, it has already been greatly diminished by the B.E.A.S.T. system; or, more specifically, Bullshit Emerging As Strategic Totalitarianism (B.E.A.S.T.).

They are tolerant of everything except dissenting values and opinions — meaning, of course, they are tolerant of nothing that matters, only themselves.”
