Extreme Panic Could Soon Hit USA

Extreme Panic Could Soon Hit USA thumbnail

U.S. government officials are doing their best to keep the general population calm, but everyone can see what is happening in the rest of the world.  There are now empty store shelves in Italy just like there are in China.  People are waiting in extremely long lines to buy masks in South Korea just like we saw in Hong Kong.  And victims are literally collapsing in public in Iran just like we witnessed in Wuhan.  This coronavirus outbreak is rapidly becoming a true global pandemic, and the panic that this has caused on Wall Street resulted in a 1,031 point drop for the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Monday.  Fear is rising all over the planet, and many believe that it is just a matter of time before the same things that are happening elsewhere start happening here.

Originally, 99 percent of the confirmed cases were in China, but now the rest of the globe is starting to catch up.

In fact, the number of confirmed cases outside of China has gotten more than 10 times larger over the last three weeks.

If we continue to see that sort of exponential growth we will soon be facing a nightmare of epic proportions.

In Italy, the number of confirmed cases went from a handful to 229 in just a matter of days.  Authorities are desperate to stop this sudden outbreak, and so at this point much of northern Italy is being shut down

Checkpoints block entry to a dozen towns across northern Italy. Milan’s landmark cathedral and opera house lie empty. Venice’s Carnival was ordered closed two days early. Schools are shuttered, soccer matches called off.

Realizing that they may have to stay home for an extended period of time, many in northern Italy have been “panic buying” food…

People in several regions of Italy have reacted to coronavirus spreading throughout the country by panic buying, leaving some store shelves empty.

With 165 people infected, Italy has the most coronavirus victims out of any country in Europe. Five people have died.

Footage out of Milan shot yesterday shows some products almost or entirely out of stock.

Once this virus starts spreading rapidly inside the United States, the same thing will start happening here.

So you might want to take this opportunity to stock up on the things you will need while you still can.

In South Korea, the number of confirmed cases has now risen to 833, and the national government has raised the alert level to the highest possible level

Meanwhile, South Korea reported another spike in new coronavirus cases on Monday, bringing its total to 833 cases with seven deaths. South Korean President Moon Jae-in has raised the national alert level for the virus to “highest,” the first time the country has done so in 11 years.

Just like we have seen elsewhere in Asia, demand for face masks is off the charts.  In fact, at one South Korean store there were literally “hundreds of people” lined up around the block to buy masks…

Aerial footage shows hundreds of people lining up around the block to buy face masks in Daegu as most of the new South Korean cases of coronavirus were traced to the city.

Here in the U.S., there will come a point where masks are not available for the general public at all if this outbreak gets bad enough.

So if you think that you may need masks, you should grab them now while you still can.

The other day my wife checked our local Home Depot, and there were only a few left on the shelves.  They are still available in most areas, but supplies are definitely getting tighter.

In Iran, it is being claimed that infected people are literally collapsing in the streets, and one Iranian politician is saying that the true death toll is far higher than the government is reporting…

CORONAVIRUS has claimed the lives of “50 people” in just one single Iranian city, a politician has claimed, accusing the government of covering up the true seriousness of the outbreak.

And one expert in infectious diseases has suggested the country could become a “hotspot” for “seeding” countries outside Iran with the virus, officially known as Covid-19. The Iranian Government this morning put the total number of deaths for the entire country at 12 – but Ahmad Amirabadi Farhani, a Parliamentary representative for the city of Qom, insisted the true figure was many times higher. The semi-official ILNA news agency reported Mr Farhani as saying: “Up until last night, around 50 people died from coronavirus. The health minister is to blame.”

Is that true?

Have approximately 50 people already died in Iran?

If that is accurate, that is an extremely ominous sign.

This certainly has the potential to become a truly horrifying global pandemic, and the World Health Organization is warning that the world is “not ready for a major outbreak”

As new cases of the coronavirus spiked on two continents, the World Health Organization warned on Monday that the world was not ready for a major outbreak, even as it praised China’s aggressive efforts to wrest the epidemic under control.

After two weeks on the ground in China, a team sent by the W.H.O. concluded that the draconian measures China imposed a month ago may have saved hundreds of thousands of people from infection. Such measures — sealing off cities, shutting down businesses and schools, ordering people to remain indoors — have provoked anger in China and could be difficult to replicate in democratic countries with a greater emphasis on protecting civil liberties.

Despite all of the measures that have been taken to control the spread of this virus, it just continues to pop up in more areas around the globe.

So how bad could this outbreak eventually become?

Well, Harvard epidemiology professor Marc Lipsitch believes that “40 to 70 percent of people around the world will be infected” by the time this crisis is over…

In an article entitled You’re Likely to Get the Coronavirus, the Atlantic explains how the coronavirus is particularly dangerous because it may cause cause no symptoms at all in many carriers of the infection.

According to Harvard epidemiology professor Marc Lipsitch, this contributes to his prediction that coronavirus “will ultimately not be containable.”

“Lipsitch predicts that, within the coming year, some 40 to 70 percent of people around the world will be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19,” reports the Atlantic.

If that projection ends up being accurate, the death toll will be in the millions.

We should truly hope that Lipsitch and the other experts that are warning of imminent doom are dead wrong.

But we would also be exceedingly foolish to completely ignore their warnings.

These scientists have been studying infectious diseases throughout their entire careers, and now they are telling us that the next great global pandemic has arrived.

If that is true, all of our lives are about to change in a major way.

Personally, I am still hoping for the best, but I am also checking the latest numbers coming in from all over the globe multiple times per day.

    “China Reports Catastrophic Data: PMIs Crash To Record Low, Confirming Coronavirus Collapse”
    https://tinyurl.com/u37czlj zero hedge

    “One week ago, ahead of today’s Chinese data release which would for the first time capture the devastation from the coronavirus pandemic, we wrote that “to those who have been following our series of high-frequency, daily indicators of China’s economy, it will probably not come as a surprise that the world’s second biggest economy has ground to a halt, its GDP set to post the first negative print in modern history. To everyone else who is just now catching up, we have some news: it’s going to be bad.” Specifically, we said that ahead of official Chinese economic data which will soon start capturing the period when the coronavirus crippled the country’s economy, Nomura’s Chief China economist Ting Lu pointed out that China’s Emerging Industries PMI (EPMI), which gauges momentum in the country’s high-tech industries and is closely correlated with official manufacturing PMI, slumped to 29.9 in February (from 50.1 in January!), its lowest-print on record, which was a “pure reflection of the devastating impact of the COVID-19 outbreak…In retrospect, it turns out that Nomura’s dire forecast was optimistic, because moments ago China’s National Statistics Bureau reported the latest, February PMIs and they were absolutely catastrophic: Manufacturing PMI crashed to 35.7 in Feb, far below the 45.0 consensus estimate, and sharply down from 50.0 in January. A record low. Non-Manufacturing PMI plummets to 28.9, also far below the 50.5 consensus, estimate, and down nearly 50% from the 54.1 in Jan. This too was a record low. Putting these numbers in context, they are far, far worse than the prints for both series reported during the financial crisis, when the mfg PMI dropped to “only” 38.8, while the non-manufacturing PMI never even contracted…Of course, we are confident that as so often happens, the market will take these numbers in stride, as they will be an indication that China is “kitchen sinking” the collapse, and a V-shaped recovery will follow. Alas, it won’t because while not only has China’s economy not picked up even modestly, but it is only a matter of time before Beijing, which has forced people to go to work against their will, succumbs to a second wave of coronavirus infections, one which will result in a far worse economic collapse than the current one, which incidentally has yet to show any actual recovery!”

    “Trump Faces An Impossible Trade-Off”: Why A Global Recession Is Now Inevitable”
    https://tinyurl.com/uaj8em7 zero hedge

    “This brings us to an absolutely spot-on observation made by Bank of America’s rates strategist Ralf Preusser, who explains why for Trump, and US stocks, it may only get worse, before it gets even worse. That reason is that markets now seem to be taking the view that authorities – i.e., Trump – face an impossible trade-off: On one hand, they can adopt the Draconian quarantine measures seen in China and trigger a global recession as worldwide economic activity grinds to a halt Or, they can risk a pandemic by failing to take more aggressive action on Covid-19, also resulting in a global recession… Similar to China, the Trump administration realizes the “Catch-22″ nature of the dilemma it is facing and is hoping to delay making a decision for as long as possible, knowing well that either choice could trip the US into a recession and with the November elections looming, a recessionary outcome could devastate Trump’s odds for reelection. Of course, there will come a moment when even Trump will have to pick an approach, and if it is the first, the US economy would grind to a halt on short notice, similar to China, while the second will not only spark risks of an even greater epidemic over in the long run but trigger an aggressive popular response against Trump (one spearheaded by the resistance media), and which will paint the US President as the American version of Xi Jinping – one willing to sacrifice US citizens just to keep stock prices elevated… While we wait to see which option in this Faustian bargain Trump picks, BofA writes that while it is hopeful that we are ” faced with a situation where the epidemic remains under control with clusters of outbreaks that are contained” even there it “cannot rule out recession risks given possible supply chain disruptions and the extent to which the global recovery is dependent on the consumer.” Moreover, Preusser adds, “we need to acknowledge that even after recent corrections in risk assets (equities, credit, EM, periphery), allocations to risk remain meaningful and markets are short of hedges.” From that perspective, Bank of America warns that the “30-50% recession risks implied by the market do not seem extravagant to us.”

    “With cases of the new coronavirus disease rising quickly beyond China, the odds of the outbreak turning into a pandemic have now doubled — from 20% to 40%, Moody’s Analytics said in a report…But a pandemic will result in global and U.S. recessions during the first half of this year, the economists said. “The economy was already fragile before the outbreak and vulnerable to anything that did not stick to script. COVID-19 is way off script,” the economists said. “COVID-19 came out of nowhere. It may be what economists call a black swan – a rare and inherently unforeseeable event with severe consequences,” they added.”

  25. Davy on Sat, 29th Feb 2020 5:46 am 

    In my opinion of following decline and collapse for the last 12 years is this will be a longer term global depression. This is because of the nature of the already sick global economy that is dysfunctional because of debt, unfunded liabilities, and irrational policy. You now add to it dramatic hits to actual economic demand. Arguably it was economic demand that prevented the systematic rot found in the financial side of the human system to be managed. In other words, it was the steady application of every more credit, especially from China, that was able to maintain global value chains and paper over systematic dysfunction. It should be remembered that in the end it is confidence that matters. It is confidence that allows global value chains to produce so much economic activity at economic volume. The ability to trade with others over long distance with security is now an uncertainty.

    What will a depression mean in this day and age? When we consider how overextended all areas of the world are with population and consumption requirements then we see this will mean a shock like we have never experience. The death rate of the virus will be far lower than what will result from lower economic activity. These economic death rates will be longer term. It is likely the global economy will not reboot to previous levels. It may even collapse without proper cooperation. The central banks will have to go all in on liquidity efforts. Governments will have to allow drastic efforts at maintaining demand in regard to providing basic needs. This will appear like martial law eventually in a frog boil.

    Is this crying wolf yet again? I hope so but I don’t think so this time. The reason being it is well known that the systematic side of globalism is dysfunctional. Economic activity keeps this in check. Economic activity appears set to crater so there is nothing left to float confidence. The must have economic activity to maintain global production of goods and services is now in doubt. Economic activity was falling even before this black swan event, so this means there was already a trend. Central banks have few tools other than massive direct injections of liquidity. Governments will have to go almost martial law to keep local distribution going. Remember trucks must keep rolling. Food stocks will run low in months if not weeks depending on how drastic demand craters. In this world of short termism this longer term acceleration of decline will continue on even after the pandemic slows.

    “Can people spread coronavirus after they recover?”
    https://tinyurl.com/vvzzw84 live science

    “The patients were considered recovered after their symptoms resolved and after they tested negative for COVID-19 twice (on two consecutive days). After recovery, the patients were asked to quarantine themselves at home for five days. They continued to undergo throat swabs for the coronavirus after five days for up to 13 days post-recovery. The results showed that every test between Day 5 and Day 13 was positive for the virus. “These findings suggest that at least a proportion of recovered patients still may be virus carriers,” the researchers wrote. The findings come as Japan reported its first case of an individual who recovered from coronavirus and then became ill with the disease for a second time, according to Reuters. Given the new results on post-coronavirus persistence from China, it’s not clear what happened with the Japanese patient, Johnson said. One possibility is that she caught a new version of the virus from another person; another possibility is that her own system did not fight off the virus completely and as it began to replicate inside her lungs again, she experienced a resurgence of symptoms…After the antiviral treatment ended, the viruses may have begun replicating again at a low level, Tumban said. There would not have been enough of the virus to cause tissue damage, so the patients felt no symptoms. But the number of viral copies would have gotten high enough for the test to catch them again. At that point, the individuals were likely not very contagious, Johnson said. Coughing and sneezing spews viral particles around, but these individuals were not coughing or sneezing. Their viral loads were also low. It would take more intimate contact to spread the virus. “They should be careful in the household setting not to share drinks and make sure they’re washing their hands frequently,” she said. “But if they’re just a carrier, they shouldn’t be able to transmit outside of that close contact of shared beverage and food.”

    Interesting possibilities for geopolitical “refactoring” though.

    We’re past Peak Globalism.

    Joe, too late for the economy. There is no vaccine for a black swan combined with years of poor macro decisions.

    Corona is not all bad for China:

    Corona is good for the transition, via demand destruction.

    Vaccination is before you come into contact with a virus. I’m talking about an antiviral. Theres some that have started human trials. It’s the flu, it’s very well understood. It’s a novel flu, but that doesnt mean theres nothing we can do. As it stands, in particular China have done very well to slow the speed of the spread. I personally think they should have stopped world travel but the economic consequences would have been just as bad as if the virus was a killer, which it isn’t. Not yet. 2% kill rate, I’ll take my chances thanks. Stay calm, carry on. Eventually they will figure it out and make billions

    “American identity today is strongly tied to an image of capitalism crafted and advertised by the Ad Council and American corporate interests over decades, often with the support of the U.S. government.”

    An editorial published Friday in the New England Journal of Medicine speculated that the coronavirus currently causing panic in world markets could turn out no worse than “a severe seasonal influenza” in terms of mortality.
    Citing an analysis of the available data from the outbreak in China, the authors note that there have been zero cases among children younger than 15; and that the fatality rate is 2% at most, and could be “considerably less than 1%.”
    Those who have died have been elderly or were already suffering from another illness — as with ordinary flu. The underlying data suggest that the symptoms varies, and fewer than one in six of the cases reported were “severe.”
    The authors note that coronavirus looks to be much less severe than other recent outbreaks of respiratory illnesses.

    Panic food buying in NYC:

    My holiday in the Black Sea area is almost over and today I will take the “samolet”, as the locals here call a plane, back to Amsterdam. Flying from a Corona-free zone back to Dutch globalistan, not so Corona-free.

    Tomorrow I’ll pay a visit to the garden center, stock up on seeds and potatoes, because this season I’m going to take vegetable gardening VERY serious, after 5 seasons of preparing for an event like this.

    And yes, I will “hamster” (Dutch for hoard) some food too, even though Dutch authorities stress that “hamsteren” is unnecessary in a country as the Netherlands, the second largest agricultural exporter in the world:

    How stressful for NYC debt slaves! How comforting for Amerikan preppers, even those living in the Philippines. I don’t need to leave the house for a year, at least. Ah well. I could say: “I told you so!”

    “When classical beauty is in the eye of the rightwing beholder“

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/feb/29/classical-beauty-rightwing-donald-trump-buildings

    Trump did something good for a change and wants to “make buildings beautiful again” (read: European). We from Europe can only congratulate him with his excellent taste, a taste that already became apparent from his choice of Melania.

    Obviously the lefties of the Guardian deem classical buildings as “too white” and offensive towards “minorities and wimmin”. Their problem.

    Trumps move is to be seen as a re-Europeanization of a part of America, white America to be precise.

    Welcome back to the club.
