Clinical trials of remdesivir, an experimental drug to treat COVID-19, have begun at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) in Omaha. More detail is provided in an article posted by the National Institutes of Health. The initial trial will involve 400 patients and will be conducted internationally but is beginning in Nebraska. There are currently 15 patients being monitored at UNMC, 13 of whom have tested positive for COVID-19. According to the daily update from UNMC, all of the 15 patients are now in the National Quarantine Unit, which has 20 beds. Previously, some of the patients had been in the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit, which is the largest facility of its kind in the country and had previously been used to treat ebola patients.
Note: The February 25 edition of the daily update mentioned the clinical trial, so there's a good possibility that additional updates will be posted in UNMC's daily update. The additional discussion may help explain why the trial is beginning in Nebraska even though there haven't been any cases that reported there -- all of the COVID-19 patients at UNMC were either sent there originally or were previously quarantined at Camp Ashland or were transported there from elsewhere.
Australia has activated its emergency response plan for global pandemics as the coronavirus spreads rapidly outside of China. The plan to deal with a large scale coronovirus outbreak is named "The COVID-19 plan". The plan notes that there are three levels of outbreak to consider, with a "high" outbreak being comparable to the extreme 1918 "Spanish flu" which infected one third of Australians and killed between 50 to 100 million people globally.
As the potential for the coronavirus to break out into a pandemic increases, people are flocking to stores for hand sanitizer with shelves in Australia and other countries out of stock of the items.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Huh, it seems all the real crashing started happening after Weinstein was convicted rather than a legitimate concern for the virus. For example, those Silicon Valley (((executives))) all stepping down at once.
CIA/Mossad's blackmail ring is being dismantled and CIA/Mossad are trying to crash the economy to punish Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA/Mossad had a part in spreading this bioweapon, as the Talmud states that it is okay to kill somebody even if one only suspects that that somebody may eventually try to kill them later. If you saw Trump's press conference, you'd see that the (((lady))) standing close to him was wearing a funeral-black dress with a coronavirus pin and smirked with the dupers-delight when he mentioned "vaccines."
So chances are that the cure might be worse than the disease, and if they try to force the cure on everybody under threat of imprisonment, it's time to grab your supplies and bug out! Good thing the next 6 months are going to be Spring and Summer!

Weinstein did nothing wrong. Those hoes wanted to be movie stars, so they slobbed the knob.

I totally agree but they needed a cover to execute him (or disappear him back to Israel under cover of death).

This is true. He and Assange et al are mere foils for our powerful friends. I'm not sure what Weinstein did to become a target. Must've been a matter of convenient timing.

Let me be the first to say it: Weinstein didn't kill himself.
Washington DC delenda est.

The end of the world will be traced back to the Mars company introducing the blue M&M.
