1. CBC Journalist actually laughs at student for wanting to volunteer on a farm to help out during this crisis
(Because what Canada really needs is more supercilious government propagandists, and less food)
2. Chinese Step-up Propaganda and Spying Within the United States
Unfortunately, with each piece of news that seeps out of China creates a new standard of terrible. Whether it’s coronavirus, health and safety regulations, wet markets, trade, medical supplies, or technology, it seems China is nothing but a battle for the United States. However, we are now learning of a more subtle, hidden danger that China is ramping up: espionage.
Fox News reported that “for decades, China has waged an espionage war with the United States, exploiting America’s comparatively open society and free-market economy to steal critical information, trade secrets and technology tools.” We have been aware of certain cases such as the Harvard medical student researchers that were being bankrolled by the Chinese state.
However, the global pandemic which originated in China, means they need to shift strategy. “The primary focus now, according to several current and former intelligence officials interviewed by Fox News, is attempting to control the disease narrative inside the U.S. and cast the blame game anywhere but Beijing.” (Continue at source)

5. More faulty Chinese test kits.
At this point, why do we think we have any clue how many people have this infection?
6. Stephen Coughlin tweet of video of Stanford Doctor who suggests Covid 19 has the same infection rate and mortality rate as seasonal flu.
Part II of the same tweet:
Facebook agreed to censor posts that criticised the Vietnamese government after the country slowed its online traffic to a crawl.
The restrictions, which two unidentified sources told Reuters were carried out by state-owned telecommunications companies, knocked the servers offline for around seven weeks, meaning the website became unusable at times.
‘We believe the action was taken to place significant pressure on us to increase our compliance with legal takedown orders when it comes to content that our users in Vietnam see,’ the first of the two Facebook sources told Reuters.
In an emailed statement, Facebook confirmed it had reluctantly complied with the government’s request to ‘restrict access to content which it has deemed to be illegal’.
(This should constitute proof that anything you see on Facebook is there by the grace of whatever tyrant or oligarch or communist or muslim terrorist or anyone in a position to damage Facebook’s reach will allow. The Trudeau government had hearings in 2019 to try and maneuver FB into compliance with Liberal government policies, and during the Truckers protest in the winter of 2019, Facebook cut off all livestreams and limited access to the accounts of leaders and spokespeople of the protest at the time. This has to have been by request of the Trudeau government. From February 2019)

10. German Muslim Leader Demands Government Mosque Bailout
Aiman ??Mazyek, chairman of the Central Council of Muslims, has called on the German government to give aid to mosques struggling financially due to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
Mr Mazyek said that many mosques in Germany were facing financial difficulties due to the lockdown measures and that many were on the verge of bankruptcy as they rely on individual donations from worshippers.
“Many mosques are facing bankruptcy because they lived off the collection for Friday prayers. They will soon no longer be able to pay their rents, property loan rates, or their staff,” he told German magazine Der Spiegel in an interview this week.
“Unlike the churches, many of the congregations in Germany are funded to a large extent through the collections. In addition: 30 to almost 50 per cent of this income is generated annually, especially in the Ramadan period,” he added.
Thank you ML., M., Wrath of Khan, Richard, Johnny U., Mr. Helsinki, Hellequin GM., Snaphanen.DK., and all who sent in materials.
Dare we say that a proper perspective is beginning to form? The Ontario nurse who said that the numbers are around the same once you factor in decreased heart and other deaths and increased Wuhan Flu deaths based on altered reporting rules begins to give a clearer picture of what is actually going on.

The plasma kits were provided by the Mayo Clinic, one of the world’s premier medical institutions and delivered.
Around 2,000 tests were done in Boro Park.
In Baltimore around 1,000 tests were done on Wednesday as well.
These add to the already 1,000 tests done on Sunday in Lakewood.
The blood of those who had COVID-19 and recovered most likely contains antibodies that are able to attack the COVID-19 virus. Thus, plasma, a component of one’s blood that contains antibodies, can be used to treat COVID-19 patients and has been proven to give them a better chance of fighting off the virus.
https://forward.com/news/national/444562/coronavirus-convalescent-plasma-orthodox-jews-hasidic/ What began as a one-man volunteer effort to connect post-Covid Jews with New York-area hospitals has now become a broad coalition, including major hospitals, Orthodox groups and a range of Orthodox Jews from visibly religious Hasidic communities to the so-called Modern Orthodox who participate more fully in secular life. It’s made Orthodox Jews a major force in donating plasma, which doctors hope to have a major benefit in the fight against the coronavirus.

“The plasma isn’t just used for frum” — religious — “people or Jewish people, it’s for people in general,” Lebovits said. “We as observant Jews have an obligation to preserve life, and save life, and help as many people as we can.”
The effort has the literal and figurative blessings of the Orthodox establishment. Two respected decisors of Jewish law — Rabbi Yisroel Reisman and Rabbi Reuven Feinstein — have said that Jews are encouraged to donate plasma — and can even drive on Shabbat and holidays in order to do so. The Orthodox Union and Agudath Israel of America, the two largest Orthodox umbrella organizations, are sending messages to the community about the science of plasma and its use in treating Covid-19.
