    1. Flux (Jerry’s nickname a long time ago) has been awesome for a looooong time. He was a member of the New South in early 1975, when he would have been just eighteen years old (he turned nineteen that year; the recording was done in January 1975). The New South released an LP that is so revered by bluegrass fans that it is referred to as “Rounder Records 0044” (all that it says on the spine of my LP’s cover is “The New South Rounder Records 0044”. Flux isn’t in the picture on the album cover, but the other members of the New South are, and they are quite a crew – J. D. Crowe leading the band, playing banjo as only he could (he’s still alive, but not performing), Tony Rice singing lead most of the time and playing bluegrass guitar better than anybody else ever has, a fellow named Ricky Skaggs (you may have heard of him) singing tenor and playing violin, mandolin, and viola (in his solo on “Summer Wages”), and Bobby Slone playing bass left-handed, which is how he played the fiddle before Ricky joined the group.

      Flux more than held his own in that band of bluegrass legends, and, even then, he knew that it wasn’t all about him. He demonstrates that in the video to which Robert has linked, where Flux accompanies Alison tastefully, filling the holes, but never stepping on her notes.

    1. Maybe he was thinking that the government was funding a production of the musical Grease. (“Gee, maybe I could get to thing in it.”)

    2. I can’t believe that. Liberals will bankrupt this country. They are completely irresponsible. Greece is an EU country. There are still rich counties in the EU to help Greece.

  1. So, headline on Bourque, 4,000 C19 cases in Ottawa…….based on wild estimations/fearmongering.

    CTV

    It’s one way of taking out the Liberal Party

    1. I would be tempted to say “big deal”. Half would have no symptoms. However, as we are not testing people, we have no idea how many cases there are or its lethality.

      1. Yes. It would be good to know where that figure comes from. That does smack of fear mongering.

        1. It’s reverse extrapolation, estimating based on the KNOWN exposures there.

          But, and this is a big but, makes assumptions of the number of spreads.

          Assumptions being the key word. The same assumptions the Governor of Ohio stated last week, that there were over 100,000 infections in his state. Based on assumptions.

          Fearmongering is thy name!

  2. Tomorrow will be known as Bloody Monday on Wall Street unless there is a Stimulus Bill agreed to before the market opens.

    I can see a four or five thousand point loss in the Dow Jones, and the other indices will be doing as bad or even worse. President Trump has always pointed to the Stock Market gains (and record low unemployment) as evidence of the success of his economic policies. The Democrats are willing to destroy the Stock Market, Pension Funds, and People’s Retirement Savings to get rid of Trump. They will not agree to a stimulus deal, unless the Republican Party abjectly surrenders to every socialist scheme and dream in the stimulus package. Their Mainstream Media Propagandists will happily parrot the Democrat Party line all day long. They will push the narrative that it is all the Republicans fault, and all President Donald Trump’s fault. The US and World Economies will completely crater, partly due to a tiny little virus, but mostly due to a hateful and destructive Democrat Party.

    1. All of the top 3 economies in the world have cratered. We are in a Depression even if they push through more Trillions in bailout we are in a Global Depression. The 2nd Quarter for the USA is projected to be 30% unemployment. That is 10% greater than the bottom of the Great Depression and a loss of 50% of USA GDP. That is just the USA. Like the old saying when the USA gets a sniffle Canada gets pneumonia. Then you have the EU cratered and China which is number 2. The Bottom just fell out. Better find Grandma’s Depression Era Cookbooks and plant a big garden.

  3. China’s COVID-19 fatality rate seems to be increasing?
    39 new cases and 9 new deaths in China
    46 new cases, 6 new deaths (5 in Hubei), … on March 21, as reported by the National Health Commission (NHC) of China.
    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/china/
    Maybe the virus is more persistent than we thought it was?
    How many illnesses and deaths can the Chinese Communist Government hide?

    1. Notice how China is changing it’s tune:

      First it accused the US Army of importing the Wuhan virus to China.

      Now Chinese ambassadors are saying the virus was in Italy in late 2019.

      They are sowing disinformation. A lesson they learned from the Russians. In the late 70s or so, I remember reading a book on the KGB. The KGB had an entire directorate dedicated to supplying disinformation to the west. History repeats.

    2. There was a reference from a thread at SDA Friday, which had a tweet stating that one of the three Chinese wireless companies had lost over 8 million users from the previous month, the loss was very unusual, very high. Suggestion being that many of these former customers have just disappeared.
      Why would they have just “disappeared”?
      China is lying about their victims, their totals/rates make no logical sense, unless they found a cure. Continuous Lineups at hospitals there suggest otherwise.

  4. I liked it better when the sport scores were reported. I cant figure out whose winning with the chicom flu. One minute you get one number the next it’s something else…..and the reporting. Where’s the babes?
    Why can’t they just get the Sports Net gurls on this….

  5. Abtrapper,

    Is the Chinese Communist Party happy that the Japanese Summer Olympics are being cancelled? I bet they are ecstatic. Will they be happy if the Western Economies crater? They will be over the moon, and trumpet that this shows how much better President Xi and the Communist System are compared to Capitalism.

  6. Happened to see a Global News report that Justine is sending planes to Africa to get Canadians of convenience.

    1. I wouldn’t want to be in Africa once this thing blows.

      The African is as tribal as it gets. He’s already convinced the flu is a ‘white mans’ invention. Expect repercussions in the form of the machete. Diane fossey style

  7. I have a question for SDA readers. My bro died of a cardiac arrest many years ago. His autopsy was performed in Regina. It took several days for an over the phone answer from the Coroner’s office. It took over two months to get the written report.. A friend of mine died in California of cardiac arrest. She was found dead in a swimming pool. The coroner (LA Sheriff’s Dept) took over two weeks to phone in the results to her family. The official report took 6 months.

    The question: How can the coroners determine the cause of death for Covid-19 (here in Canada) in a matter of hours, especially if the victims had ”underlying issues.”
    Thanks!

    1. And with old people, the cause of death on the certificate isoften penumonia, even though they had something else wrong with them.

      1. Pneumonia used to be called the “old people’s friend” as it led to a relatively easy and painless death.

  8. The California government, in response to the spread of COVID-19, has moved without undue delay on one thing—expediting voter fraud.

    Vote-by-mail in upcoming elections is being expanded, allegedly to protect public health, as it is supposedly unsanitary to show up at a polling station in person.

    In reality, it will expedite fraudulent voting in the name of Californians who are locked down in other parts of the country or abroad and are unable to return (much less vote) or have already died of COVID-19.

      1. I noticed that in a speech last week, your blunder kind nephew of Pigliosi, called Californica a “Nation State”.
        Does he think he’s an Indian.

    1. This virus can permanently scar and damage people’s lungs. It may also damage nerves and sexual organs, or any organs with ACE2 receptors.

      The media will eventually discover and broadcast these facts in a few months, just as the virus is receding from our nations. It will be breaking news, as they interview survivors of the illness.

  9. Some good news from forty years ago last month, during the depths of the Carter Economic Malaise, Iranian Hostage Crisis, and the Communist advances in Africa, Central Merica, and Europe.

    Just think, by 1990 the Soviet Union was dead, the Iranians were still bleeding from a disastrous war against Iraq, and the US Economy was booming. We will survive this virus. We will even survive our many governments’ incompetence. We will find hope, and we will make our lives better. Pray. Take care of your family, friends, and the elderly and infirm. Help your working friends that are down on their luck due to this virus.

        1. – And I’m sure he has his lawyers lined-up outside the courthouse this morning, to plead that their client is “a very sick man with a disease that’s a known killer, so he should be released out of compassion.”

          – Hope his lawyers get it too.

  10. The 51st Annual Grammy Awards took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, on February 8, 2009. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss were the biggest winners of the night, winning five awards including Album of the Year for their critically acclaimed album “Raising Sand.”

  11. Themes from the media this morning. Blackie is wonderful. The Liberal Party is wonderful. Trump is incompetent and killing people in America and Africa. Socialism is the answer to our problems now and in the future. China is wonderful. People are being racist towards China. Did I mention that Blackie is wonderful?

    1. I see the media is perplexed about dear juthtins reluctance to invoke the emergency measures act.
      They seem out of sorts that he should have announced this on Sunday.
      They know they should be upset but they just can’t figure out why.

  12. http://www.wetsuweten.com/
    What’s up with the Wetsuweten? What is Chief Woos doing? Any word on the private deal that idiot-stick Carolyn Bennet made with them?
    Construction with smaller crews is still going on along the Coastal Gaslink pipeline.

  13. According to his schedule, Big Chief Gay Eagle With No Balls will be speaking on the phone today with the prime minister of Ethiopia. Can’t forget that UN Security Seat.

    1. Look for Justin to promise lots of aid to African countries. He’s working hard to get that Security Council seat.

      African leaders will then discover a Justin Trudeau promise is worth schist.

  14. Posting this article not for its predictions on Wuhan deaths in China, but to show the intrusiveness of the CCP on cellphone usage in China.

    https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.theepochtimes.com/the-closing-of-21-million-cell-phone-accounts-in-china-may-suggest-a-high-ccp-virus-death-toll_3281291.html/amp

    Not sure how reliable The Epoch Times is.

    Their article says every cellphone user has their face scanned by facial recognition software so the government knows who owns the phone.

    Justin Trudeau must be salivating at the thought of implementing that in Canada.

  15. Watching the Rt. Hon. Trudeau’s presser right now, and he waxed indignant at those who are violating safe distance regulations, stating “Enough is enough. Go home and stay home”. Yet he offers no sanctions for those to disobey — only effeminate words of disdain to those people.

    Reminds me of an old Andy Griffith show, when, in one rare scene where a big bad guy threatened Andy Griffith with violence, deputy sheriff Barney Fife (Don Knotts) raises his index finger to the perp and yells “You’re being naughty, naughty! Shame on you!”. Justin Trudeau is Barney Fife.

    1. Justin Trudeau is Barney Fife.

      That comparison is an insult to Don Knotts.

    2. Remember David, PM Dickspank said politicians couldn’t order the police to enforce the law. Well it ain’t law yet and if it becomes ‘law’ people still have to get supplies. And who is taking orders from that POS, anyway? He should shut his stupid gob.
      Blackie doesn’t even know WTF is going on. His meals are made for him and brought to him. His house is cleaned for him. Think he does laundry? Think he makes his bed? Think he needs to buy anything? And he’s got a great big property he gets to roam around.
      I was out today for work and kept my distance from others and so did they as I had to go to a Home Depot to get hardware for a crew. It was fine.

      1. He has to do something. He must be bored after filling in all the pictures in his colouring books.

    1. Guardians? Tutors? How about the butlers and maids as well.

      Then again, we all knew something like this might happen, didn’t we?

  16. This was tipped on another thread. I really don’t know what to make of it except to say that I find the stats fascinating and subversively comforting.

    A Swiss Doctor on Covid-19

    A Swiss medical doctor provided the following information on the current situation in order to enable our readers to make a realistic risk assessment.

    https://swprs.org/a-swiss-doctor-on-covid-19/

    Swiss Propaganda Research (SPR), founded in 2016, is an independent nonprofit research group investigating geopolitical propaganda in Swiss and international media.

    1. Very valuable insight. I think Trump was on the right track saying you do not ruin your economy over this, but it may be too late. At least he is looking at an end point, I suppose, unless things get dramatically worse.

  17. Great Leader Kim Sung Trudeau lecturing us today on how to behave. This from a man who dressed up as a black man on numerous occasions. Its pretty obvious that his bought and paid for media is preparing us for him to go full Maduro within the next few days. Expect Waffen S.S. heiress Freeland to do his dirty work. In other news, Ford is closing down all non essential services in Ontario tomorrow.

    1. Yeah I was ordered to work from home this am. We still have crews at various construction sites of which I’m sometimes part of or just visit. I can’t say shutting down construction isn’t a good thing for “flattening the curve”, but it ain’t good for the economy. Lots of money will just be hanging. Heck, some people are waiting for their homes to get built be it a condo or a house.
      Remember, the Liberals have added about 1.5 million people since they were elected and sent over 25 billion of “aid” out of country.
      Will the “cure” be worse than the disease?

  18. Trudeau is trying to pull a Pelosi, but a lot more brazenly.

    The Wuhan support bill will give the Trudeau cabinet unlimited ability to spend and tax for the next 18 months, without the need to have any of these measures pass a vote in Parliament.

    I expect it will pass. Why? The Bloc are supposedly going to show up in Parliament with all their members. Wonder what goodies Justin has promised them.

    https://www.google.ca/amp/s/globalnews.ca/news/6720551/justin-trudeau-coronavirus-support-bill/amp/

      1. Just dawned on me: we can’t get rid of a minority government if they don’t have to bring a money bill before Parliament.

        What a brazen power grab.
