Ostensibly the deployment of Idaho Army National Guard’s ‘Snake River’ 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team to Europe was canceled due to Coronavirus fears. Yet, seemingly without warning, Idaho Air National Guard’s 124th Fighter Wing, and 190th Fighter Squadron, was suddenly deployed to ‘somewhere’ in the Middle East.
Idaho Air Guard’s A-10C Thunderbolt-2s fly alongside USAF F-15E Eagles from Mountain Home AFB, 15MAY2020.
124th personnel began deploying on 11MAY2020, but several Idaho A-10Cs took part in a supposed CoViD-19 morale boosting fly-over of Idaho cities, along with U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles from Mountain Home Air Force Base, on 15MAY2020.
Incomplete list of links to news reports about viral outbreaks from the week leading up to the 13th of the Gregorian month of May 2020. These outbreaks tell us one thing for sure; no healthcare system anywhere in the world can handle outbreaks of multiple diseases, let alone one pandemic.
CoViD-19 medical supplies arrived at Bagram Airport and are being distributed to U.S. Forward Operating Bases around Afghanistan.
While the U.S. was sending CoViD-19 supplies to troops in Afghanistan, NATO member Turkey sent CoViD-19 supplies to the United States. On 28APR2020, a Turkish Airbus A400M loaded with medical Personal Protective Equipment landed at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
Then on 01MAY2020, a Turkish C-130 landed at the same base with even more PPE.
RABIES=LYSSAVIRUSES (considered 100% fatal without treatment)
Rabies is so bad in Turkey that U.S. military personnel on Incirlik Air Base are being told that “A common misconception is that animals infected with rabies virus ‘look rabid’. Animals infected with rabies virus can spread the virus to humans and other animals prior to showing clinical signs of illness. In addition to rabies, there are many other infectious diseases that can be spread from stray animals to humans. These diseases can be anything from severe wound infections to parasite infections. Rabies virus has a 100% mortality rate if left untreated.”-Captian Timothy Beck, U.S. Army, Incirlik Veterinary Services

Note that the U.S. CDC has stop issuing weekly influenza numbers, instead reporting confusing graphs and percentages. However, as of 17APR2020, the U.S. CDC’s daily CoViD-19 numbers say more than 33-thousand people in the U.S. have died, that includes 4-thousand “probable” but not confirmed cases.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is supposed to issue weekly influenza reports, but as you can see from the above quote the last one they released is now a week and a half old.
The above data is the U.S. CDC’s CoronaVirus Disease-2019 report as of today, and includes ‘presumptive’ infections (presumptive means to presume despite lack of evidence!). Interesting that the CDC can put out almost daily CoViD numbers but is seemingly having trouble issuing their weekly flu numbers. Notice the difference, the week-and-a-half-old flu death numbers are still higher than the CoViD-19 numbers, by almost 12-thousand; influenza is still king killer.
Now to my point that while the U.S. CDC is the official health tracker of the United States our main stream news media is citing data issued by John Hopkins University. In fact all the ‘western’ countries’ news media are citing data from John Hopkins, from Germany across North America all the way to Japan. What happened to each country’s own CDC or public health agencies? What happened to the United Nation’s World Health Organization?
But wait, when I go to John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health: Center for Health Security COVID-19 Updates-April 7 it referrers me back to the U.S. CDC, as well as the UN WHO and even Russian and Chinese government reporting agencies. So why don’t our news media cite the original source? Why did not only BBC lie about the source but they lied about the amount? BBC cited John Hopkins but, as I said, if you go to the John Hopkins website they refer you back to CDC. Also, BBC’s U.S. number of CoViD infections is almost 3-thousand higher than what CDC has published today.
Note that even Wikipedia’s very questionable U.S. CoViD-19 death data is still lower than the week-and-a-half-old CDC influenza death data, by a little less than 10-thousand.
Who can you trust? Somebody is lying, influenza is still killing more people than CoViD-19, unless the influenza numbers are wrong as well!
Who would’ve thought ‘god-allah-that which cannot be named’ would turn out to be a virus?
Skeletons of vehicles waiting to be completed as factory workers told to ‘go home’!
According to Johns Hopkins University (which, for some reason, has become the go-to source of data for main stream news media) about 3.9-billion people (supposedly half of all Earthling humans) globally have been disappeared, into their homes, due to CoViD-19 stay-at-home and shelter-in-place lockdown orders!
The pathogen called CoronaVirus Disease 2019 doesn’t care about your skin color, sex, age, type of government you live under and especially doesn’t care about what ‘god’ you worship.

A deer in Sri Lanka, it’s not unusual for deer to be seen in what I suspect is the town of Trincomalee, what is unusual is that all the shops are shuttered and no human can be seen due to CoViD-19 lockdown.

“For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”– 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, New King James Bible
“Stochastic [random] effects may cause fade-out of an infectious disease in a population immediately after an epidemic outbreak.”–WKB theory of epidemic fade-out in stochastic populations, 2009. Note that ‘stochastic’ is a mathematical word that means ‘random’, in other words epidemiologists don’t really know why diseases suddenly stop sickening or killing people.
Epidemic burst fade-out describes the life-cycle of a new (novel) pathogen, usually a virus. It’s normal; a big bang at the beginning with people wondering where the hell it came from, then panic as it ravages the human hosts, then suddenly, without explanation, it’s gone.
CoViD-19 is not a disease, it is a pathogen. Disease is the result of a pathogen infecting a host (victim) when the environmental conditions favor the pathogen.
Pathogen=Bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.
One important environmental factor that humans should be able to control (but don’t) is the level of physical and mental stress a potential host is experiencing. Disease outbreaks (burst) hit the big cities/metro areas first and hardest. So many people living so close together is enough to push the stress levels sky-high. Stress is not just negative, there is such a thing as positive stress. Anything that pushes your emotional system to a negative or positive extreme is stress. Many extroverted people love the big cities because of the physical closeness to other people, but pathogens also love the metro-closeness of humans. Metro areas are giant petri dishes creating the perfect environment for a pathogen to burst forth. (don’t forget that ever since the stress inducing Industrial Revolution there’s been a rapid acceleration of pathogens, also see The effects of industrialisation – Causes of illness and disease)
Perhaps staying calm, not getting excited or upset, is the best defense against pathogens. Like they said in the movie Airplane:
Arrogant humans think they are the ones who make diseases go away, through vaccines, treatments, social distancing, godly cleanliness, isolationism, as demonstrated by these news media articles:
