I’m sick today (yeah, no) and not much in the mood for sherpa blogging, but here are a few more updates. Things are rolling fast now. Most are links to tweets.

NYC St.Patricks Day Parade cancelled for first time in 285 years.

“Congress’ in-house doctor told Capitol Hill staffers at a close-door meeting this week that he expects 70-150 million people in the U.S. — roughly 1/3 of the country — to contract #COVID19”

Two CBS News employees test positive in New York.

Schools across the US closing.

The US and Europe follow the track set by Italy.

Noooo… Italy 🇮🇹 #COVID19 case count re-accelerating upwards once again. +2300 already halfway thru today. Pray for Italy. Pray for the world.
And here at home… Nearly 160 inmates at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre (SCC) are under quarantine after one offender said he had previously come into contact with someone with COVID-19.

Hope he’s lying. I think I’m done for today.

  1. Considering how corrupt the WHO appears to be, it makes one wonder whether someone made certain financial “arrangements” before making the declaration.

  2. Never, ever forget that Justin worships this evil regime…

    Experts: China Carving Lungs Out of Political Prisoners to Treat Coronavirus

    https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2020/03/11/experts-china-carving-lungs-out-of-political-prisoners-to-treat-coronavirus/

    WASHINGTON, DC — China is likely using lungs taken from living political prisoners to treat coronavirus patients, a doctoral researcher told Breitbart News, confirming revelations by a Chinese labor camp survivor during an event on Capitol Hill Tuesday.

    “China targets imprisoned religious minorities for organ harvesting, particularly from its Falun Gong and predominantly Muslim Uyghur communities.”

  3. It strikes in all of the right places. Let me pour myself a glass! Cheers!
    Aaaah! Blasphemy! Fatwah!

  4. But the important thing on the minds of Canadians in Toronto and Quebec is, will Blackie be able to prance in the homosexual parades this Summer?

    1. Pride parades cancelled because of a virus…. Oh, the horror…..

      1. I REFUSE to surrender the word “pride” to the sodomites.
        They are shameless and even defiant in their perversion, but that’s nothing to be proud of.

      3. But they REFUSED to close the Bath Houses in the middle of the AIDS epidemic. Hey! If you can’t get some gloryhole sex … then why be gay? And it was a good opportunity to create the “blame Ronald Reagan” meme.

    2. If Blackie gets a runny nose it won’t be because he has Covid 19, but because he’s full.

  5. Oh JOY….from the “What Took You So Long To Make Up Your Minds DEPT.”

    Splendid and uplifting birthday party news…but in every dark, dark cloud there is a silver lining.

    You plug ’em, we plant ’em…Park Lawn Corp funeral home and incinerator stocks are UP, UP, UP!!!

    Snap them up while they’re hot: Service Corporation International , Carriage Services, Hillenbrand, Matthews International Corp, and my favorite StoneMor Partners or StoneLes depending on yer preference.

    Okay, ALL the beer I have today will be CORONA virus free!

    My wife allows me to have only ONE girlfriend: STELLA (Stella Artois) 🙂

    Now if’n I just can find my way to Fort Whoop Up we can put on a right proper soiree’.

  6. Wuhan virus is now more or less contained in its Chinese spawning grounds, with the biggest risk being re-importation from the west. Now that when (not if) it happens, the re-importation can be blamed on Trump, it’s considered safe to scream pandemic.

    Everything is going according to plan. China creates a pandemic, Trump gets the blame. As I keep saying, a work of evil genius.

    Meanwhile, President Trump is being condemned for suggesting high-level meetings on the Wuhan virus be classified. In other words, the President has figured out this is an act of bioterrorism and wants to be able to engage in frank discussions on topics of national security.

    1. “Wuhan virus”, YES !
      That is what I’ve decided to call it from now on,,, Wuhan virus.
      eff that corona b.s.,,, it’s Wuhan virus that’s killing people, it’s Wuhan virus that’s causing all these cancelations,,,from now on I’ll be calling it the Wuhan virus!

  8. This may be an interesting tidbit, which may give a little bit of insight.

    Back in the 3rd week of January, I placed an order through Amazon for a mini table saw, to be shipped from China. About the same time period when the flu broke out. I think after actually.

    Delivery date for middle of February.

    Out of curiosity I messaged the manufacturer how it was to be shipped. It was to be shipped by air. I mentioned that with the situation that was transpiring I would understand a delay.

    After that, Amazon curtailed anymore correspondence.

    Delivery date was slated for 9 March.

    Never arrived, the Amazon tracking wasn’t available just a 3 day window for delivery.

    From what I can make of it, my order is still in China.

    Maybe things in China are a lot worse…or just shipping incompetence.

  9. The WHO sure look like A-holes declaring the Bat Soup Flu a pandemic a week after everyone and their dog has already done.

  10. China finally let their lapdog WHO to admit to the truth. Meanwhile in Taiwan, the total infection is still under 50. They were quite serious about combating it as early as last December and fully mobilizing their national virus combat mechanism in mid January. They’re already screening all passengers that have went to Wuhan as early as January 3rd.

  11. It would be interesting to see how many of the 77 who tested positive are sick or get sick.

  12. I guess this means that the Turdhole/Butts Government will continue to do nothing… I guess the China Virus hasn’t hit Queerbek yet. Not even the basics are being applied. No screening, no restrictions on certain travel, no nothing, thats the plan so far and it looks like the Liberal plan of doing absolutely nothing will continue. Meanwhile, where’s Turdhole these days, hitting the Meth pipe ?

    1. Do nothing? Why, that Campaign dwarf said today “We hab de bess reezershers in da wurrl oo will fine da coor to dis!”

      Once again, the arrogance of the Liberals shows through, performing for the mediots and their sycophants, thinking that Canada is relevant to anything, beyond beer and hockey.

      These people are idiots!

      There is NOTHING! that Turdhole can do about this!

      1. Da bloc will do what da Lièberals wan cuz dey wan dere pensions, never had such a gut job in dere lives. De PM chan es min bout da PQ seeparatits. Ess 1 off dem. Forevheer beezoos en ugs! Mmwa!

  13. “75 to 150 million…allowing for a fatality rate of three percent or so…yielding 2.25 to 4.5 million deaths, disproportionately elderly males without access to a reliable vaccine courtesy of Bloomberg’s China bureau. Assuming at least two thirds are Republicans, that buys you… let’s see…750,000 to 1.5 million votes. More than enough to flip purple states into the blue column.

    “Take the spring off, Joe. Our friends in Beijing have got this.”

    “…who are you again?”

    “I’m Mike, Joe. Who’s president?”

    “Barry?”

    “No…”

    “Hillary…?”

    “…okay, never mind.”

  14. From my calculations it seems that 3/4 of the China Virus cases that are known to exist in Turdholeland were brought here by people traveling. Having travel restrictions from the start or at the very least screening for the China Virus at the beginning might have slowed the virus spread in Turdholeland… but I guess that would”ve been, “racist”… or something. I just watched CTV panelist and Liberal Party ass-licker Susan Delecourt say that the LIberal message is that if you catch the China Virus its your own fault. So, according to the Media’ the LIberal Party and their lead actor, Turdhole continue to be infallible.

    1. In three weeks that will be Ontario and Quebec.

      Most of those businesses will never re-open. People who have to work for a living get evicted from their shop if they miss a month’s rent and their credit line called in if they miss a payment. A month-long sickie is a luxury only Ottawa bloodsuckers can afford.

  17. A ‘he should know better’ Chinese man pushed a lady’s cart to get ahead of her at the grocery store cash today.
    Are they showing us HATE NOW? No can’t be. But WTF!

  18. Isn’t this what the antifada groups were praying for? The shutdown of the world economy and the energy industry grinds to a halt. These lefties also, along with Suzuki, him with the 5 kids, want a drastic shrinking of the population to save earth. Air pollution will clear as fossil fuel burning ceases. Us little people will no longer be able to fly or go on holidays and AGW will cool right down. Greta will be so pleased.

  21. So it has spread to pandas then? Perhaps I should adjust my concern from “muted” to “minor.”

  22. BOOM
    Trump bans all travel between Europe and USA for thirty days.
    Trudeau announces $1-billion to do “something”. ($27.30 per Canadian citizen)

    1. BOOM
      NBA (National Basketball League) shuts down its entire season, until further notice.
      Trudeau government will get around to releasing a budget on March 30, maybe.

    2. You watch: it’ll be a billion dollars to tell us not to be “wathitht”. After all, if we mention that the disease originated in China, we’re bigots. If we don’t want open borders and have even more “virus refugees”, we’re a bunch of redneck hillbillies.

    2. What? No NBA or NHL games? What will people do with themselves now? Oh, the horror, the horror…..

  24. BOOM (well, ok, much more of a whimper)
    Canadian border and health officials are not questioning those entering Canada. Still just handing out pamphlets.

    “The Italian College of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care (SIAARTI) has published guidelines for the criteria that doctors and nurses should follow in these extraordinary circumstances. The document begins by likening the moral choices facing Italian doctors to the forms of wartime triage that are required in the field of “catastrophe medicine.” Instead of providing intensive care to all patients who need it, its authors suggest, it may become necessary to follow “the most widely shared criteria regarding distributive justice and the appropriate allocation of limited health resources.”

    “The principle they settle upon is utilitarian. “Informed by the principle of maximizing benefits for the largest number,” they suggest that “the allocation criteria need to guarantee that those patients with the highest chance of therapeutic success will retain access to intensive care.”

    “It may become necessary to establish an age limit for access to intensive care. Those who are too old to have a high likelihood of recovery, or who have too low a number of “life-years” left even if they should survive, will be left to die.”

    “These guidelines apply even to patients who require intensive care for reasons other than the coronavirus, because they too make demands on the same scarce medical resources.”

    “It’s probably just like the flu.” Yeah, right.
