The W.H.O. (Finally!) Declares Coronavirus A “Pandemic”

In the spirit of letting the horse run out, catch an Uber to the airport, then hop a trans-Atlantic flight, *before* closing the barn door, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom finally admitted today that the coronavirus outbreak should now be officially recognized as a “pandemic”.

Coronavirus: Why The US Is In Deep Trouble

by Chris Martenson

While China appears to be succeeding in dramatically slowing the spread of the coronavirus within it borders, covid-19 continues to explode elsewhere in the world.

In the US, people are just beginning to realize the severity of the situation. Cases are now present in nearly half of America’s states and the panic rush to buy food, cleaning supplies, etc is on.

A Crisis Within A Crisis

by Chris Martenson

As cases explode all over the world, financial markets are beginning to creak and groan. Reading the tea leaves, our concern is that SARS-COV-2 will kick off another financial/economic crisis as bad, or worse, than 2008.

Also, we spend a full minute and 34 seconds showing a video on how to put on and take of a face mask properly. Super easy. Much easier than trying to convince people they shouldn’t wear masks and then later unconvince them of that when face mask supplies catch back up.

The flatfooted response of US and European health officials has virtually assured a much worse-than-it-had-to-be outcome. A lack of testing and a lack of aggressive contact tracing are going to haunt…well…everyone affected.

As new cases explode all over the globe, with 5 new countries reporting their first cases, health authorities continue to give out puzzlingly incomplete, contradictory and sometimes even wrong information.

While our view on Thailand is provisionally shifted back to “contained” our view is that Egypt is the next unannounced hotspot.

Given where we are in the story, we’re going to have to perform triage, meaning making tough choices over where to apply woefully inadequate resources.

Any actions you take from here on out need to be done ultra-responsibly and not contribute to the growing panic and hoarding.

Shortages and Breakdowns

PREVIEW

by Chris Martenson

It’s not the fall that hurts, it’s suddenly stopping. In December 2019 the entire world, just-in-time global economy was humming along, a month later it metaphorically ran into a brick wall.

A stop so sudden that nobody has any clue how badly the system was harmed. Because it’s a complex system it also means that nobody can predict any of the actual consequences.

Apple’s manufacturing process is complicated. Apple’s supply chain from raw sand to finished phone is complex. Things that are complicated can be modeled and resolved. Things that are complex cannot.
