Wrapping up the night with a CAO Session. First time with this cigar. Really great pre-light smell, I think it’s going to be a great night. Finally got all the boxes I needed for my cigar cooler and got it put together for the cigars that are arriving Wednesday. Only issue is I had some ice buildup on the bottom I need to make sure doesn’t happen again. Did a double layer of wood to help prevent it. Moisture should soak into the cedar and not pool under it now. Also switching to crystal jar and PPG solution instead of water humipack water pouch.

My back of envelope calcs are that China’s economy contracted by 30% in March quarter 2020. Assuming workers go back to work in Jun qtr, the full 19-20 financial year GDP movement would be -8% to -10%. If work doesn’t resume adequately from Apr, the contraction could be 12-15%. Either way, it’s the most severe year on year contraction for any country since WW2.

As a California voter who has “declined to state” a political party, I can vote for the DEMOCRAT ballot. The only difference between this and a regular ballot is that the Democrat Presidential nominees appear on it (California has a jungle primary so ALL candidates appear on generic ballots for the lesser offices). Word is out to do this among the California Conservarati to grab the Dem ballot and vote Sanders. We want that piece of Communist crap to go into that convention with as many delegates as possible.
What is going to be hysterical is watching Tom Steyer and Mike Bloomberg have a poor showing. California is not as anti-gun and pro-immigrant as Mini Mike likes to think it is and it’s only the liberal cities and Sacramento legislature that buys into climate change like that hypocrite Steyer believes (he made his money in fossil fuels),
My prediction is Bernie does VERY WELL. Have not seen ANY Steyer or Bloomberg signs/buttons; about three Warren buttons (no bumper stickers) and about the same number of Biden support. But BERNIE signs, buttons, bumper stickers are everywhere in the Bay Area.

If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.2

The media will follow the Club rules on election day reporting. Results favorable to Joe Biden or ‘Never Bernie’ will be released first and emphasized. Results favorable to Bernie Sanders will be delayed and downplayed. This is also the first set of ballots that will include Mini-mike Bloomberg. The narrative coming out of this evening is critical.
Last Friday New Zealand had its first Carona Virus case. A 60 year old Iranian woman and a NZ Resident coming home after visiting relatives in Iran.
The resident Cinese community here staged a ‘run’ on the supermarkets that was if nothing else …. hilarious.
Their main buys were.
Mega rolls packages of toilet paper
Giant bags of rice
and

Seriously!
Just turn on the tap Ms. Chiung

Our solitary Carona virus case is in a negative pressure room and is improving. All of the folks she travelled with within spitting distance are spending the next 14 days self isolation at home and those passengers in the arrivals hall have been issued warnings to immediately report to the Health officials if they feel unwell for the next fortnight. The woman in question rode home in a family car and of course all of those family members are also quarantined for 14 days.
So far there have been 268 tests carried out with no positive results to date.

I was thinking; If Donald Trump deleted all of his emails, wiped his server with Bleachbit and destroyed all of his phones with a hammer, would the Mainstream Media suddenly lose all interest in the story and declare him innocent?

I was thinking; We should stop calling them all ‘Entitlements’. Welfare, Food Stamps, WIC, are not entitlements. They are taxpayer-funded handouts, and shouldn’t be called entitlements at all. Social Security and Veterans Benefits are Entitlements because the people receiving them are entitled to them. They were earned and paid for by the recipients. The others were not.
I was thinking; If Liberals don’t believe in biological gender then why did they march for women’s rights?
I was thinking; How did the Russians get Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the DNC to steal the Primary from Bernie Sanders?

I was thinking; (this was the best) If Democrats don’t want foreigners involved in our elections, why do they think it’s all right for illegals to vote?
Approximate total delegate counts through Super Tuesday are 660 for Biden, 586 for Sanders, 110 for Bloomberg, and 101 for Warren.

New York cases rose to six on Wednesday after officials confirmed that the Manhattan attorney’s wife, 20-year-old son, 14-year-old daughter and neighbor had all tested positive for coronavirus.
The 50-year-old attorney, who lives in Westchester County and commutes to his midtown Manhattan law firm, was confirmed as the state’s second case on Tuesday.
The attorney remains in a critical condition in intensive care at the New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center on the Upper West Side.
Health officials said the attorney has severe pneumonia that potentially put him in more danger than others from the disease.
His family remain quarantined in their home in New Rochelle.
The neighbor, who initially drove the attorney to the hospital when he started suffering from coronavirus symptoms last Friday night, is also under self-quarantine at home.

The best pizza in America might very well hail from Western Pennsylvania, it just won’t have an official world championship title this year.
The spreading coronavirus will keep Nick Bogacz, owner of Pittsburgh-based Caliente Pizza & Draft House, from traveling to the World Pizza Championships in Parma, Italy — and defending Caliente’s best pizza in America title.
“I think everyone is trying to be safe is what it comes down to,” Bogacz said, noting that his airline canceled his flights to Italy. “We looked forward to this all year long. … It’s just unfortunate that we’re not going to be able to go.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Elizabeth Warren was huddling with her campaign advisers Wednesday to determine if there was a reason to stay in the race after her Super Tuesday wipe-out.
An aide to the Massachusetts senator said she was speaking to staffers and assessing the path forward. The aide spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal campaign moves. Warren’s White House run was in serious doubt after she finished a surprisingly weak third in Super Tuesday’s Democratic primary in her home state of Massachusetts.

The coronavirus cannot survive exposure to temperature of 26-27 °C and above. It cannot survive hot climate.
If you dink hot water and expose yourself to the sun, it will do the trick.
Avoid eating ice cream and any other cold food.
Gargle with warm and salt water. This will kill the germs present in your tonsils and prevent it from migrating to your lungs.

Am I expecting the ‘Gerbal Worming socialist Left to immediately come to their ideological senses and admit the reality of the whole farce?
Not bloody likely. Too much ideological skin in the game for that to happen. Too many careers based on lies and money streams established to flush it all where the sun doesn’t shine!
So I guess we’ll just have to keep playing ‘wack-a-Mole’ with leftist ideologues when it comes to ‘gerbal worming’.

Coronavirus: there are 2 types, Chinese researchers find, while authorities say faeces and urine can transmit the infection
They found that one type, which they called the L type, was more prevalent than the other, the S type, meaning it was more infectious. They also found that the L type had evolved from the S type, and that the L type was far more widespread before January 7 and in Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak.

China’s Grand Belt and Road Plan Is Being Lashed by Coronavirus
The deadly outbreak is prompting delays and disruptions to China’s construction and investment plans overseas, risking years of planning and hundreds of billions of dollars in economic diplomacy. Quarantine measures are preventing Chinese workers from making it to foreign building sites, domestic firms supplying overseas projects face acute labor shortages and fears are mounting that workers will inadvertently spread the virus to new locales

There was an article on Medium from a young black woman who attended the Vegas rally with her father.

EXCLUSIVE: ARMY SPECIAL FORCES COMMAND DISBANDS ELITE UNITS
In a historic decision for the Special Forces community, the Crisis Response Force (CRF) companies are going to be disbanded and their operators and equipment redistributed to the force.
CRF companies are an elite cadre of Green Berets who specialize in Direct Action (DA), Counterterrorism (CT), and Hostage Rescue (HR) missions. Each Special Forces Group (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 10th) has a CRF company, and they are considered to be the strategic reserves of each combatant command in case of an emergency around the world. CRF used to be called Commander’s-in-extremis (CIF) companies.
SOFREP has learned that the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) in conjunction with the 1st Special Forces Command (1st SFC) have decided to disband the CRFs because they are said to be underutilized and because of a lack of operators.
The decision, however, aligns with the ongoing pivot from Counterterrorism (CT) and Direct Action (DA) operations to Unconventional Warfare (UW) and Foreign Internal Defense (FID) as the Department of Defense (DoD) is edging away from counterinsurgencies and gearing toward a near-peer conflict with adversaries such as Russia and China.
A move that foreshadowed the decision to disband the CRFs took place earlier this year. In January, the American embassy in Baghdad came under siege by Iraqi protesters and Iranian-back militias before and after the targeted killing of the Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani. However, Central Command (CENTCOM), the combatant command that is responsible for that Area of Operations, and Special Operations Command Central (SOCCENT), a sub-unified command responsible for Special Operations in the same AOR, decided to deploy a Marine element instead of A Company, 1st Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group (A/1/5), the CRF unit responsible for the Middle East. The message was clear – we don’t need you.
A senior CRF operator told SOFREP that “the CRF hasn’t been gainfully employed since the end of 2011, and other than that, the National Mission Force [Joint Special Operations Command] can get there just as fast. That’s why all of the other ones are on the chopping block.”

Physicists Think We Might Have a New, Exciting Dark Matter Candidate
Something in the Universe is creating more mass than we can detect directly. We know it’s there because of its gravitational effect on the stuff we can detect; but we don’t know what it is, or how it got here.
We call that invisible mass “dark matter”, and physicists have just identified a particle that could be behind it.
The candidate culprit is a recently discovered subatomic particle called a d-star hexaquark. And in the primordial darkness following the Big Bang, it could have come together to create dark matter
https://www.sciencealert.com/d-star-hexaquark-particles-could-be-responsible-for-creating-dark-matter
They’re always discovering new sub-atomic particles. Which makes me wonder if their math is just a bit squirrelly. Every time the math doesn’t work, you plug in a new variable and call it a sub-atomic particle.
Wisdom from the woman who has to take her socks off to balance her checkbook. Yer welcome.
