Coronavirus Daily Information Update: 25 March 2020

HERE ARE TODAY'S links  to what seem the most likely-to-be-censored (and therefore usefully informative) Internet reports on the rapidly spreading Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic:

Most vital reports of the day: 


Superb reporting from a most-reliable source.

How the Ayn Rand solution to the global pandemic is to let the virus determine who lives and dies.

Key medical glove factories cutting staff 50% amid virus
AP Exclusive: in Malaysia (as in the United States), the national preservation of bureaucratic prerogatives is far more important than the global preservation of human life.

Nurses launch campaign against CDC’s OK of bandannas and scarves
The Regime's Big Lies become deadly weapons.

In the murderously Neoliberal United States, it's mandatory victimhood for homeless, impoverished and elderly folk.

Dr. Strangelove Takes Care of Our Health
How the U.S. imperial war machine is deliberately spreading the virus in Europe. 

A prelude to lynch-mob genocide?

How lethal is Covid-19 REALLY? Why massive fatality rates from Italy are MISLEADING
How the Neoliberal World Order's austerity-inflicted inability to count the near-infinity of undocumented cases radically inflates the death rate.  


From the Associated Press:

Virus Outbreak
An anthology of reports from around the world linked so you the Dispatches reader have direct access to an abundance of material you can quickly scan for what is and is not relevant for you and yours.

Of America and sacrifice: Is the country ready to step up?
Anywhere the Moronic Majority rules, the obvious answer is "no" -- often with an added "fuck off"; such is the ecogenocidal result of 44 years of Neoliberal brainrot. 

South Dakota governor signs 'riot-boosting' penalties
Looming tyranny: criticize the government, go to jail. 

From other sources:

The U.S. is a Failed State, and COVID-19 Proves it
Moron Nation's most emphatically denied truth.

On the predictably murderous methodology of our Neoliberal Masters.

As more workers test positive for COVID-19, Amazon ignores demands to close warehouses
Bezos underscores the "B" in CBR warfare against the world's Working Families. ("CBR" = "Chemical, Biological, Radoiological," a still-appropriate U.S. war-machine acronym c. 1950s/1960s.) 


“Travel Papers” and the Pandemic Patriot Act 2.0
As in Hitler's Third Reich, so now in the Neoliberal United States.

Freedom Rider: Revolutionary Change and COVID-19
If only we can get it together -- which (given our murderous national ethos of  greed, self-obsession, bigotry, xenophobia and anti-intellectualism, I sorely doubt).
 
Our daily dose of what our Masters deem fit for us to read.
 
What is an essential business in 10 U.S. cities
More of the Viral Gospel according to Bezos and his WaPo corps of Josef Goebbels wannabees. (Note that -- surprise -- Chicago is keeping its gun stores open.)


Also relevant:

Senate aid package quietly sets aside $17 billion for Boeing
I post this WaPo story despite the probability Bezos will censor it by paywall.
 
"Herd Immunity" Is Epidemiological Neoliberalism
It's also an easiest way for our most-malevolent Masters to achieve their ecogenocidal goals.

Be warned: shock-doctrine in bipartisan action.

Israel Violating Law When It Comes To Coronavirus And Palestinian People
What else is a formerly savaged people to do to those it intends to savage? 

Boomer Remover
A telling example of the meticulously engendered inter-generational hatred that helps guarantee our Masters will never be toppled by revolution.
 
Germany's lifesaving defiance may indeed mark the beginning of a new -- and far-less-imperialist --  European ethos.

The Message of COVID-19
Final warning from our Mother Earth?  (Scroll down, for writer Kenn Orphan buried his lead.)

More on hope and optimism as socioeconomic paralysis -- especially in time of crisis.

Most heartening -- though such aid will never be allowed us in the United States, where by government edict any expression of real national need approaches treason. 


Held over: 

Scroll down to the 12th graf to learn how at least eight million U.S. citizens are on our Masters' enemies lists and will be disappeared.

Military, Trump administration ready plans for domestic crackdown as virus spreads across US
From the report: "'a senior military planner working on coronavirus but not authorized to speak on sensitive planning matters [...] says that deployment of federal troops in support roles is being prepared,' including to conduct traffic stops, home searches and seizures and arrests." Note that "home searches and seizures" could include not only confiscation of all real or potential weapons but -- given the ChristoNazi Regime's anti-marijuana fanaticism  -- confiscation of, and arrest for possession of, all the (still federally illegal) medical marijuana upon which such a huge number of opiate-denied chronic-pain victims are now forced to depend. Too -- given the Regime's even more fanatical hatred of women and female sexuality -- such raids might also be used to confiscate all birth-control devices and criminalize all unwed women who possess them, thereby fulfilling still more of our Masters' ChristoNazis objectives. Thus -- by such mass arrests -- could the Regime give its plutocratic owners the ultimate "gift" of permanently enslaving millions of U.S. citizens for brutally hard, typically deadly labor, thereby granting our Masters' wish of exterminating "surplus workers" while following the German Nazis' model of amassing unlimited profits from mass murder.

BINGO! ON TIME! Starting my workday at 15:00PDT (3:00 p.m.) actually suffices.

May all of you stay healthy and stay alive.
