https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/sp-forecasts-21-trillion-global-bank-credit-losses-over-next-two-yearsS&P Forecasts $2.1 Trillion In Global Bank Credit Losses Over Next Two Years
“The bottom line: global banks are already facing $2 trillion in losses over 2 years. Should the pandemic make a triumphal return and force another round of shutdowns, countless banks – both in the US and across the world – will end up going out of business, as there is no amount of direct or indirect Fed funding that can offset another $2 trillion in losses in the coming years”
JUBILEE MUST BE COMINGMy crop of fava beans are great this year
After susceptible subjects eat the beans, symptoms can occur in 5–24 h. The symptoms include headache, vomiting, nausea, yawning, stomach pains, and a raised temperature.Acute hemolytic anemia in G6PD-deficient people can develop after eating fava beans. This is known as favism. It was once thought that favism was an allergic reaction and that the condition could occur from inhalation of pollen. However, researchers have identified the chemicals, known as vicine and convicine, found within fava beans that trigger acute hemolytic anemia episodes in G6PD-deficient people. These chemicals occur in high concentrations within fava beans, but do not occur in other types of beans.

Covid-19 Accelerates 3 Disruptive Trends Facing Higher Education
Scott PulsipherThe truth is that higher education entered the pandemic with pre-existing conditions: rapidly escalating costs, a widening disconnect with future workforce needs, crushing student debts, unacceptable racial disparities in outcomes, and low completion rates overall. The higher education sector is also in the throes of technology-driven disruption, a disruption irreversibly accelerated by Covid-19. But even without a pandemic, the future of higher education was never going to look like its past. And even without a pandemic, our regulatory framework was ill-equipped to cope.
Covid-19 accelerates three critical trends in higher education, each of which predates the pandemic, and each of which demands a new policy approach.
The third disruptive trend is the transition from a degree-based talent pipeline to a skills-based talent pipeline. The idea that a college degree singularly prepares students for decades of work has long been outdated; instead, learning is a lifelong process that intersects with the workforce continually. In the future, degrees will continue to hold value, not because of the degree credential, but because a degree is composed of many skills and competencies that are valued by employers.
(more)WHY did the elites react to covid19 the way they did?
Implementation of quarantines of the uninfected
Look at the past.When the Black Death swept over Europe and wiped out a third of its population, it also dismantled Feudalism. Serfs were free to leave the lands of the lords to seek higher wages with the vast labour shortages. The land that had usually been the primary source of wealth was now worthless.
The main difference between serf and peasant is that peasants were free to move from fief to fief or manor to manor to look for work. Serfs, on the other hand, were like slaves except that they could not be bought or sold.Nearly 700 years after the Black Death swept through Europe, it still haunts the world as the worst-case scenario for an epidemic. Called the Great Mortality as it caused its devastation, this second great pandemic of Bubonic Plague became known as the Black Death in the late 17th Century.
The plague killed an estimated 25 million people, almost a third of the continent’s population. The Black Death lingered on for centuries, particularly in cities. Outbreaks included the Great Plague of London (1665-66), in which 70,000 residents died.
The plague killed indiscriminately – young and old, rich and poor – but especially in the cities and among groups who had close contact with the sick. Entire monasteries filled with friars were wiped out and Europe lost most of its doctors. In the countryside, whole villages were abandoned.
Spanish flu. The Spanish flu, also known as the 1918 flu pandemic, was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic caused by the H1N1 influenza A virus. Lasting about 15 months from spring 1918 (northern hemisphere) to early summer 1919, it infected 500 million people – about a third of the world’s population at the time.
The most popular theory of how the plague ended is through the implementation of quarantines. The uninfected would typically remain in their homes and only leave when it was necessary, while those who could afford to do so would leave the more densely populated areas and live in greater isolation.
I must be a disappointment to many elites that the covid19 has gone out of control and is attacking more than the rifraf

The Theory Of MMT Falls Flat When Faced With Reality (Part II)
The premise of our discussion was this recent explanation of “Modern Monetary Theory” by Stephanie Kelton.
The reality is that MMT is already here.
Since the onset of the “pandemic,” both unemployment insurance and “other benefits” have surged by $3 trillion along with continued rises in all other benefits, like social security, Medicaid, and Veterans’ benefits.Importantly, for the average person, these social benefits are critical to their survival. Government assistance now makes up ~38% of real disposable personal incomes.
For the last 30 years, each Administration and the Federal Reserve have continued to operate under Keynesian monetary and fiscal policies believing the model worked. However, the reality has been most of the aggregate growth in the economy has been financed by deficit spending, credit expansion, and a reduction in savings
Without debt, there has been no actual organic growth since the 1970’s.

‘I’m confident that we are taking all the necessary steps to protect our residents and prepare for whatever may come,’ says Port Coquitlam mayor
Stefan Labbé / Tri-City News
JULY 3, 2020 06:26 PM
Flood warnings across much of British Columbia’s interior could lead to localized flooding in the Tri-Cities as peak flows in the Fraser River make their way towards Port Coquitlam this weekend and into early next week.The B.C. River Forecast Centre has raised a high stream flow advisory stretching from Hope to the mouth of the Fraser River.
“It’s extremely unusual to see it this level of rainfall this late in the season, especially in the Lower Fraser,” said the BC River Forecast Centre’s Dave Campbell.“We’re seeing flows that we haven’t seen ever at this time of year.”
Much of Metro Vancouver is built on a floodplain and dependent on dikes for protection when water levels at the Mission gauge surpass 5.5 metres. According to modelling, water is expected to peak at the Mission gauge Monday, July 6, when it’s expected to reach 5.66 metres, a point at which rising water and increased river velocities can scour and weaken dikes.herd stupidity

Is the Coronavirus Scare a Psychological Operation?
Posted on June 3, 2020
The common impression is that the entire matter began in reaction to events in China but even that is not clear. For example, the virus is said to have originated in the city of Wuhan and the first, limited, lockdown occurred in that area from January to March. China has since said that it warned the WHO about the virus during the first week of January. However, it is known that U.S. intelligence agencies, (https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattperez/2020/04/08/report-us-intelligence-officials-warned-about-coronavirus-in-wuhan-in-late-november/#620cbf95a1eb )
were aware of the potential outbreak even before that, in November 2019. A Chinese spokesman later suggested that the U.S. military might have brought the virus to Wuhan during the military games held there in October. ( https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/coronavirus-chinese-official-suggests-u-s-army-blame-outbreak-n1157826 )Whether SARS-COV-2 was genetically engineered in a laboratory, like the NIAID-funded Wuhan lab, is a subject that has become of interest to many scientists. The Wuhan laboratory is not the only place the U.S. supports work like this, however, as the Pentagon funds such labs in 25 countries across the world. Located in places such as Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South East Asia, and Africa, these labs isolate and manipulate viruses like the bat coronaviruses from which SARS-COV-2 originated. This bat-research program is further coordinated by a group called EcoHealth Alliance. ( https://www.ecohealthalliance.org/ )

Respiratory Pathogen Surveillance Trends and Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Estimates for the 2018-2019 Season Among Department of Defense Beneficiaries

PMID: 32023072
Free article
Abstract
This report primarily focuses on the data collected and analyzed from the worldwide network of sentinel military treatment facilities chosen to participate in the Department of Defense Global Respiratory Pathogen Surveillance (DoDGRS) program. Sites that participated in the 2018-2019 DoDGRS program submitted 24,320 respiratory specimens for diagnostic testing. Clinical results showed a total of 5,968 positive influenza cases. In the beginning of the season, starting in surveillance week 48, influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 was the predominant subtype. The predominant subtype switched to influenza A(H3N2) beginning in week 6 and continued through the end of the season. Influenza B virus detection was less common during the surveillance period (i.e., 1% of total submitted specimens and 5% of total influenza detected). In addition to routine surveillance, the DoDGRS program also conducts vaccine effectiveness (VE) studies twice per year to determine interim and end of season estimates. Overall, the adjusted end of season VE for all dependents regardless of influenza type was 30% (95% CI: 22%-38%).Are the readers of TAE interested in finding the truth?
Does the Flu Shot Increase COVID-19 Risk (YES!) and Other Interesting Questions
This may be the most important newsletter I have written to date. Here are a few quick answers to the questions I will cover in case you aren’t interested in the whole story:
Does the flu shot increase the risk for coronavirus infection? YES!
Could a new flu vaccine be partly responsible for the COVID-19 mortality rate in Italy? YES!
Is the rush to a vaccine the best solution? No, it could bring catastrophic results.
How does the SARS-CoV-2 infect and are protease enzyme supplements the key to creating our own endogenous antiviral protease inhibitors? Yes, I believe so!
Are there certain medications like blood pressure drugs and proton pump inhibitors that increase risk for infection and mortality? YES
Is it chloroquine or is it zinc that is working as a possible aid in treating COVID-19? A strong case can be made for zinc!
Can plant polyphenols and flavonoids act to increase the antiviral effects of zinc? YES! And they possess other benefits too!The rest of the newsletter will explain these somewhat controversial conclusions. It is a lot to cover. So, I am going to be as concise as possible. References are provided for those so inclined.

These estimates highlight the need for continued influenza surveillance and VE estimate calculations each season among the different DoD populations as circulating strains and VE may change annually.( Don’t take my word.

The Latest Research on COVID-19 Treatments and Medications in the Pipeline
There are no approved coronavirus treatments at this time.
The drug that’s furthest along in clinical trials for treating COVID-19 is remdesivir, a new intravenous antiviral that the FDA has not yet approved, though they did grant an emergency use authorization for it to make it more accessible.On June 1, 2020, Gilead announced more results from their phase 3 study — this time they looked at hospitalized patients with moderate symptoms of COVID-19. People who got remdesivir for 5 days were 65% more likely to improve on day 11 compared to those who did not get the treatment. Some people got remdesivir for 10 days, and they also seemed more likely to improve compared to those who didn’t get any. The difference was not statistically significant, though (in other words, this might’ve happened by chance). Until more data is shared, it’s unclear why remdesivir appears to work better when given for 5 days instead of 10 days.
Not all remdesivir studies have been positive. Take a study of 236 patients with COVID-19 in China, for example. (This was a randomized, double-blinded study, which is the gold standard for clinical trials.) In one specific analysis, a group of patients in the study who received remdesivir within 10 days of showing symptoms recovered slightly more quickly than those who received a placebo. However, this difference was not statistically significant, meaning it could have been due to chance. When looking at all patients in the study (regardless of when they received remdesivir), there was no difference in time to improvement compared to placebo. The researchers state that larger studies are needed to confirm the results.

I have no doubt that a vast a majority of Americans want to bring the troops home.

Niall McCrae and David Kurten: EU Numbers Show Correlation Between Flu Vaccine and Coronavirus Deaths
By Jim Hoft
Published May 13, 2020 at 9:41pmHowever, a factor that hasn’t been considered is the flu vaccine, which is widely administered to the elderly. Some correlation with Covid-19 mortality, although not necessarily causal, is readily apparent. The medical establishment tends to cast any critic of vaccination as an extremist, but we are not ‘anti-vaxxers’. We present our case tentatively, and leave it to readers to decide whether this is a reasonable line of enquiry.
