FAKE NEWS! James falsely said Weds., Apr 8! SORRY!
(CNN) With Passover underway and Easter around the corner, the Department of Homeland Security has warned so-called “faith communities” (hate that term) that they could see an uptick in online hate speech. CNN is hate speech!
(CNN) Coronavirus updates around the world: Spain says they have reached the peak of their outbreak, and UK leaders have met to talk about a possible exit strategy from lockdown restrictions even as Prime Minister Boris Johnson remains in intensive care with Covid-19. White House aides are discussing plans to reopen the US economy as early May, but that plan could run afoul of advice from medical experts. “EXPERTS,” RME. Wednesday marked a new deadliest day for the US, with 1,922 coronavirus-related deaths. Meanwhile, Russia and Germany are seeing their coronavirus numbers rise. In India, the government has completely sealed more than 100 "containment zones" until mid-April. In Bangladesh, the world's largest refugee camp has been locked down to keep the virus from spreading among the camp's 1 million Rohingya refugees.
The WHO is defending itself after President Trump repeatedly criticized the organization for its response to the coronavirus crisis and threatened to pull federal funding. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (REALLY EVIL GUY) asked Trump to not politicize the virus and instead promote unity in fighting its spread (HE DOESN’T WANNA LOSE HIS CUSHY JOB!). French President Emmanuel Macron also defended the organization after a call with Ghebreyesus, saying the organization is critical to the global coronavirus response. The WHO has been criticized for their early response to the virus, when it was just beginning to spread in China. However, by the end of January, the organization had designated the virus a "public health emergency of international concern." SO WHAT, EVERYBODY PAYING ATTENTION KNEW THAT BEFORE THEY SAID IT! SMH…
(CNN) There’s another lawsuit against a cruise ship company for their response to the coronavirus (PSH!). A former passenger of the Costa Luminosa is suing the ship's operator, claiming the company put more than 2,000 people at risk (LIKE THAT PASSENGER CARES ABOUT 2000 PEOPLE) by failing to warn them about potential exposure to the virus. Numerous passengers from two separate journeys tested positive for Covid-19, and at least three have died. Meanwhile, Australian police have boarded the Ruby Princess cruise ship to investigate how thousands of passengers were allowed to disembark in Sydney last month. That influx resulted in a spike of coronavirus infections. More than 600 cases and 15 deaths have been linked to the ship.
(Drudge) CA sheriff warns (or claims) that he can arrest and fine people $1,000 (even jail them) for not wearing masks… in public. SMH. (The Sun) Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco lost two deputies to Covid-19 — they died! QUOTE: "This is a valid order and enforceable by fine, imprisonment or both," Bianco said on Monday in a video statement. He added: "Not everybody's getting the message. "It started with staying at home, social distance and covering your face. But now we change from saying that you should to saying that you must. "Right now, you could be a carrier of this virus, spreading it to your family and friends." Despite these toughened rules, Bianco said that no vehicular checkpoints or driver stoppages are planned to enforce the new facemask rule. The sheriff said: "We will not be stopping you while you're on a walk with you kids or while you're out running or hiking." OK GOOD. In the county, 25 people have died from Covid-19 — apparently including two cops!

(Drudge) FEDS PLAN A DATABASE OF THE INFECTED (Politico) Kushner’s team seeks a national coronavirus surveillance system. Critics worry about a Patriot Act for health care, raising concerns about patient privacy and civil liberties. White House senior adviser Jared Kushner’s task force has reached out to a range of health technology companies about creating a national coronavirus surveillance system to give the government a near real-time view of where patients are seeking treatment and for what, and whether hospitals can accommodate them, according to four people with knowledge of the discussions. THERE YOU GO WITH ANONYMOUS SOURCES! ANYWAY, SOUNDS EVIL. IS THAT WHAT OBAMACARE WANTED TOO? AND PROBABLY MORE GOVT ACTION BEFORE THAT? SMH.
(Drudge) VIRUS SLAMS BLACK AMERICANS (Far-left AP News, activist outlet) Democrat lawmakers and community so-called leaders in cities hard-hit by the pandemic have been sounding the alarm over what they see as a disturbing trend of the virus killing African Americans at a higher rate, along with a lack of overall information about the race of victims as the nation’s death toll mounts. Among the cities where black residents have been hard-hit: New York, Detroit, New Orleans, Chicago and Milwaukee. “Everywhere we look, the coronavirus is devastating our communities,” said Derrick Johnson, president and CEO of the NAACP. BUT HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT BLACK VIOLENCE.
Of the victims whose demographic data was publicly shared by officials — nearly 3,300 of the nation’s 13,000 deaths thus far — about 42% were black, according to an Associated Press analysis. African Americans account for roughly 21% of the total population in the areas covered by the analysis.
The Fake News AP writes: A history of systemic racism and inequity (COMMUNIST WORD) in access to health care and economic opportunity has made many African Americans far more vulnerable to the virus. Black adults suffer from higher rates of obesity, diabetes and asthma, which make them more susceptible, and also are more likely to be uninsured. They also often report (WITHOUT EVIDENCE) that medical professionals take their ailments less seriously when they seek treatment. HAHA like they know how medical professionals treat whites.
“The rate at which black people are dying, compared to whites, is really just astounding,” said Courtney Cogburn, an associate professor (OH YES, ASK A PROFESSOR, THAT’S REAL LIFE! NOT!) at the Columbia University School of Social Work. “There are patterns at this intersection of race and socioeconomic status that make it very clear this is just not a story about poverty.”
President Donald Trump and the government’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, acknowledged the higher death rate among African Americans during Tuesday’s White House briefing. The president called it a “tremendous challenge,” and suggested that federal health officials could release national racial and ethnic COVID-19 data within days.
(Drudge) HALF BILLION MORE FACE POVERTY More from (AP so-called news) — Around half a billion people could be pushed into poverty as a result of the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic unless richer countries take “urgent action” to help developing nations, a leading aid organization warned Thursday. YES, THIS IS WHY WE NEED GLOBALIST SOCIALISM! SMH. In the run-up to three key international economic meetings next week, Oxfam has urged richer countries to step up their efforts to help the developing world. Failing to do so, it added, could set back the fight against poverty by a decade and by as much as 30 years in some areas, including Africa and the Middle East.
(Wikipedia) Oxfam is a confederation of 19 independent charitable organizations focusing on the alleviation of global poverty, founded in 1942 in Oxford, England: Focused on Poverty eradication, disaster relief, Advocacy, policy research, pro-migration. I DO NOT HAVE ANY SORT OF POSITIVE IMPRESSION OF OXFAM.
