Got another pandemic.news update for you on the coronavirus pandemic.
Mike Adams here recording this on the evening of February 24th, which is a Monday.
Just as a programming note, I'll be hosting the Alex Jones show all the rest of this week, Tuesday through Friday, the 1st I've got some amazing guests lined up, some interviews that you won't want to miss.
So tune in to Infowars.com to hear that Tuesday through Friday.
And that starts at 11 a.m.
Central Time.
And believe me, you won't want to miss it.
We've got some good information.
But the big news for right now is that there were two additional cases of coronavirus confirmed in California today.
One in Humboldt County and the other, I don't recall exactly where it was, seemed to be the Bay Area, somewhere around there.
But they were both people who had traveled from China.
And you may be thinking, wow, that's interesting that all the cases that they confirm in California are people who recently traveled to China.
Why is that?
The real answer, and maybe the not so obvious answer, is because that's the only people they're testing.
So if you contract the coronavirus in America and you haven't been to China, you will not be tested.
Under current guidelines.
I mean, the only exception to that is if you have been in direct contact with someone that they know has tested positive, which is very rare.
So for the most part, the only people they're testing are people who have been to China.
Well, that's not good enough.
I'm sorry.
Because you've got this woman in South Korea, for example.
She didn't go to China.
And she spread the virus to...
What do we have now?
900 people infected in South Korea?
Most of that from one person, because she went to a church that's a very social church, apparently, and hundreds of people got infected.
She didn't come from China.
And yet, it's amazing.
South Korea has managed to test 28,000 people for the coronavirus.
And yet, as of this moment, right now, the CDC in the United States has only tested 426 people.
And yesterday, that number was 414.
So they've managed to test an amazing 12 people in a 24-hour period for the whole country, right?
It really raises a lot of questions.
On average, the CDC is only testing about 17 people per day since this thing began.
17 people per day.
And when combined with the fact that 47 U.S. states are testing zero people, With three states doing some testing, that's California, Nebraska, because of the Omaha Biocontainment Center there, and Illinois, but the 47 other states are testing zero people, it brings up a lot of questions like why is almost no one being tested in the United States?
And how exactly are we going to know who's got the infection if virtually no one's being tested?
So I've been asking this question, as you know, for a few days.
And finally today, some doctors on Twitter started tweeting about this.
As usual, my articles were days ahead of what's on Twitter, but whatever.
You know, I've been banned permanently from Twitter for being right, basically.
So anyway, now the doctors are out there saying, oh yeah, well how come the CDC only tested 414 people yesterday, as of yesterday, grand total, and then today it's 426 people.
What's the story with that?
So now, there are a lot of people asking the question that I've been asking.
It doesn't make any sense.
With hundreds of millions of people in America and clearly hundreds of thousands of people who've been in contact with those who have returned from China or Japan or South Korea or other infectious areas, why are we not testing more people?
So we've now entered this weird chapter.
Where we're supposed to pretend that as long as we don't look, that the infections don't exist.
We're supposed to say, oh, we're not going to look for infections in Americans, and so we're going to pretend that Americans don't have infections.
This is not a way to run an epidemiological survey of reality.
It ends very badly, by the way.
It's also...
I don't know, a little bit racist.
It's like, ah, we're only going to test Chinese people, but not Americans.
Now I realize there are plenty of Americans who are Chinese.
But I mean, shouldn't they test everybody who's at risk?
So another big story today is that the number of self-quarantined people in California as of today is 8,000 people.
So the San Francisco Chronicle Has been tracking all this, and they did a story today.
It's like, yeah, 8,000 people under self-quarantine in California.
How many of those 8,000 people have been tested?
It appears to be close to zero.
They're not really telling us the exact numbers, but given that all the testing in the entire country over all time has been 426, that number is a lot less than 8,000.
Just tells you that most of these people in California can't possibly have been tested.
And the state of California isn't seemingly telling us, unless I've missed it somewhere, but I haven't heard of California releasing numbers of how many people have been tested.
So think about this.
We've got 50 people, roughly, actually a little bit more, 53, but let's just call it 50.
Let's use some round numbers here to make this easy.
We've got 50 people confirmed infected in the United States according to the CDC. They've tested only 426 people.
But let's raise that to 500.
Just pretend they tested 500 people.
That means that there's 50 cases out of 500 they tested.
That's a 10% positive rate.
It would seem to indicate that if they tested 5000 people, they might find 500 people with the infection.
Now, I know these are really rough numbers, and you might say, well, a lot of those people or half of those people came off the Diamond Princess cruise ship.
Okay, sure, they did.
But then a lot of those people are going to get released after just 14 days, which is not long enough.
And those people came into contact with other people on the airplane and in the quarantine centers in Omaha, Nebraska, and San Antonio, Texas, where there's six infected people.
So there are infections no doubt getting spread right now.
Because doctors keep dying all over Chinese hospitals.
Even they can't keep this under control.
This thing's basically impossible to contain.
So there's 50-plus infected people in America, according to the CDC, who have tested fewer than 500 people.
That's a 10% rate of infection among those tested.
So it seems like their strategy of avoiding infections is to just avoid testing for infections.
And that is obviously not a very...
Not a very effective strategy.
We also saw the stock market today plunge 1,000 points as people were starting to get a hint of the economic impact that may be coming from this.
Well, I'm here to tell you, and I did a previous podcast on this a little bit earlier in the day, so I won't repeat all that, but in truth, investors have not yet even begun to see the impact on the supply chain.
Because you've got manufacturing now.
I mean, let me start this.
Take Walmart.
Take any retailer, Costco, Target.
These retailers buy almost everything from China.
And those ships that have been arriving over the last three to four weeks were ships that left the ports in China before the Wuhan quarantine.
So there was kind of like a one month buffer of cargo ships coming our direction.
Those ships have now been largely unloaded and those products have now been moved to the shelves of retailers like Walmart and Costco and so on.
There are no more ships behind those ships because the factories are all shut down.
Or at least a large percentage of them.
Not 100%, but a large percentage, especially in certain areas.
Now, there's a ripple effect that's happening where you had Wuhan semiconductor component manufacturers that stopped shipping.
And so appliance manufacturers, let's say in South Korea that use those components, they may have had a one-month supply of components on hand.
Probably not that much, but let's imagine they did.
Which means they've just run out of components.
Which means that they can no longer send ships full of microwave ovens, refrigerators, clothes, washers, dryers, vacuum cleaners, everything that's made in South Korea.
Those ships, the last ships have left port.
Oh, and mobile phones and smartphones and all that stuff too.
So the last ships have just left port, which means there's about one month of supply remaining of stuff made in Korea.
So fast forward one month, now you start to have shortages of not only stuff made in China, but also stuff made in Korea, and stuff made in Japan that depends on the stuff made in China, and so on and so forth.
And you start to walk into a Walmart and you say, where's all the vacuum cleaners?
Or you walk into a Home Depot, where'd all the refrigerators go?
And the answer is, well, they never arrived.
Because there's no boats with refrigerators on them anymore.
Because the factories are shut down in China and South Korea and everywhere else.
And that's when it's really going to hit home.
And that day is really...
It hasn't even begun yet.
That's gonna be just beginning in 30 days, but it's gonna take 120, 150, 180 days for that to really fully ripple through the system to the point where people begin to understand how bad this is gonna be.
So six months from now, this is gonna be a bloodbath in terms of the stock market and the finances.
Today, it's just a little hint.
It's just a little lack of faith for a moment.
The stock market will probably go up tomorrow.
I mean, you'll know by the time you hear this whether I'm right or wrong about that, but that's irrelevant.
Six months from now, it's going to be hard to buy into a market when you see company after company and manufacturer after manufacturer no longer able to supply products because their supply lines have been totally shut down.
You see, we have a global structure of just-in-time manufacturing and single-source supply lines.
It's a very bad way to get things done.
I mean, you can go back to Just as an example of this, war.
Supply lines, World War II. The German 6th Army was trying to overrun Stalingrad.
I forgot what year that was.
Maybe it was 1943 or 1944, perhaps.
I'm not a total historian.
The Germans lost their entire 6th Army because the supply lines were cut off by dedicated Russians who surrounded Their supply lines and cut them off.
And once the Germans had no more fuel and no more ammunition and no more food, the entire 6th Army surrendered.
I think that was a couple hundred thousand German soldiers.
Because the supply lines no longer existed.
Without the supply lines, you can't function.
That's a pretty good model for what's about to happen to our global economy.
So, coming soon, when you walk into a Walmart, And you say, where did all the vacuum cleaners go?
