The Mysterious Coronavirus Spreading Worldwide


Recommended Posts

From NY Times:

"Just as the United States greets the arrival of promising vaccines — and prepares to celebrate a starkly transformed holiday season — more Covid-19 deaths are being reported each day than at any other time during the pandemic.
The nation set single-day records on Wednesday for reported deaths, with more than 3,600, and for newly reported cases, more than 245,000. The previous case record was set last Friday, when more than 236,800 new infections were announced, not including tens of thousands of significantly older cases reported that day.
Three times as many more people in the United States are dying each day now than three months ago, and the number of new cases is six times what it was then. Also, with large cities already ravaged by the virus, it is now exacting a deadly toll on many midsize cities..."

 That's the same State breaking records for infections yet, they are locked down and have been for weeks now.

My understanding is that this current lockdown just started a few days ago, Dec. 3rd if I remember correctly, days not weeks.

 

Dec 4, 2020 — LOS ANGELES — California, the first state to impose far-reaching lockdowns because of the coronavirus, announced on Thursday its strictest ...

Nope. Lockdowns are put in place based on hospital vacancy percentage. Our area starts a mandatory stay at home order tonight.

London Put in Emergency Lockdown as U.K. Fights New Virus Strain

Prime Minister Boris Johnson imposed a full lockdown on London and large parts of southeast England in a desperate attempt to stop a new strain of coronavirus that is spreading rapidly in the U.K.

After emergency talks with his most senior officials, Johnson canceled plans to ease pandemic restrictions for five days during the holiday. Household mixing will be banned in London and the south-east and socializing restricted to just Christmas Day across the rest of England.

The premier announced a new Tier 4 will apply in the hot-spot areas around the capital from Sunday, with all non-essential shops closing and millions of people ordered to stay at home.

“When the science changes, we must change our response,” Johnson said in a news conference.

The dramatic escalation in the government’s pandemic response was triggered by a new strain of the virus that is virtually unique to the U.K. Emerging scientific evidence suggests the new variant can spread significantly more quickly than previous strains in circulation and is behind a huge surge in infections in recent days.

Covid-19 case rates nearly doubled in London over the past week, with almost 60% of these infections attributed to the new strain of the virus, according to government officials.

If the governments tell you to stay at home, STAY HOME.

I contacted a brother from Fresno. He told me it is a mess over there. Many in California was taking the virus as a joke and now they are paying for it.

Netherlands, Belgium ban UK flights after new COVID strain found

 

“An infectious mutation of the COVID-19 virus is circulating in the United Kingdom. It is said to spread more easily and faster and is more difficult to detect,” the health ministry said in a statement.

The Dutch public health body, the RIVM, therefore “recommends any introduction of this virus strain from the UK be limited as much as possible by limiting and/or controlling passenger movements”.

 The ban on UK flights comes after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and scientists announced on Saturday that the new strain of coronavirus identified in the country is up to 70 percent more infectious. But Johnson said the new variant is not thought to be more deadly and vaccines should still be effective.

yea.. Those people in the world were crippled because they rely on money system and to themselves.. But we were trained to trust in Jehovah, not on things in this world. Thats why we have an advantage now. 

 

We just dont know if this really is. But I am convinced that we are heading that way. 

After Spanish Flu, there was economic meltdown which lead to great depression , then the war... Now this time, the war of Armageddon.

I have always felt the path to the GT was a straight one, it's like the world fell off a cliff in 1914 and just hasn't hit the ground yet...

I don’t even know where this belongs. It touches almost every aspect of this situation. My son, (not in the truth,obviously, and, a very intense person) called me last week. My husband has this lovely mini-14. (I kid you not) Well, that son of mine wants to buy it, badly. (It’s just a thing, in the safe, and we don’t even know if it’s legal?) It has been discusses between the two of them. My husband is not in the mood to sell the thing, but when he does...

Anyway, son went on to tell me between December 25, and January 6, ((?) it was all going to break loose. Have food and pet food stored up. And, get this, the election was, yes, indeedy, a scam. You know who actually won. They manipulated the electronics. And...there was no ammo available locally. None. It has all been bought up. Ones have lined up to buy it. 
Um, also, that vaccine. It has unfinished DNA in it, and it is a means to start to control mankind. Don’t take it. They will give you a card when you get it, and that is how you will be allowed back into society. 
And, to top it off, for me not to be surprised if they show up at our (rural) home, pick up loaded with supplies. He and his dear wife. 
If this wasn’t so ludicrous, I’d be embarrassed. (But, I don’t embarrass easily) 

The reason I’m sharing this is, this is actually out there. An element of society actually believes this. Including my wayward dear son. 
He knows of the truth. (He’s the one who told me he knows it all starts when the churches are nailed shut) 

I think this comes from isolation, and getting news from the wrong source.  Plus a touch of, well, stupidity.

There was more, but you get the picture. I think mankind has gone crazy. If you don’t have the truth...

I want to age without sharp corners, and have an obedient heart!

But, the end was not yet.  The "Truth" was just starting to grow.  Therefore,  the end did not come in that time period. 

 

There were millions of people that needed to be reached.  We are now a Nation of 8 1/2 million.
