CORONAVIRUS QUARANTINE SCHEDULE FROM A FRIEND

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

I am always bragging on my LU classmates - we're pretty much off the chain.  So when  SOROR Kim Blaney-Bivins posted this, I immediately thought my ECLECTICALLY BLACK READERS would love this as well.  So I'm sharing this with you!

They might be able to temporarily isolate our bodies, but they'll never isolate our minds!!

ROTFLMAO!!

ENJOY

Quarantine schedule from a friend:




Day 1 – I Can Do This!! Got enough food and wine to last a month!




Day 2 – Opening my 8th bottle of Wine. I fear wine supplies might not last!


Day 3 – Strawberries: Some have 210 seeds, some have 235 seeds. Who Knew??



Day 4 – 8:00pm. Removed my Day Pajamas and put on my Night Pajamas.


Day 5 – Today, I tried to make Hand Sanitizer. It came out as Jello Shots!!


Day 6 – I get to take the Garbage out. I’m So excited, I can’t decide what to wear.


Day 7 – Laughing way too much at my own jokes!!


Day 8 – Went to a new restaurant called “The Kitchen”. You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have No clue how this place is still in business.


Day 9 – I put liquor bottles in every room. Tonight, I’m getting all dressed up and going Bar hopping.


Day 10 – Struck up a conversation with a Spider today. Seems nice. He’s a Web Designer.



Day 11 – Isolation is hard. I swear my fridge just said, “What the hell do you want now?”




Day 12 – I realized why dogs get so excited about something moving outside, going for walks or car rides. I think I just barked at a squirrel.


Day 13 – If you keep a glass of wine in each hand, you can’t accidentally touch your face.

Corona Virus in America - Foresight and Hindsight are 2020 -

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

It's amazing to me that every time there's a life and death crisis facing America, it's usually either caused by the repuglycons or presided over and mismanaged by the repuglycons.  And it is patently true in the case of the pandemic known as the coronavirus or Covid19, which seems to be sweeping the world from continent to continent - nation to nation.
While other parts of the world - China, Korea, Japan, Italy, etc., have taken the necessary precautions of shutting down businesses, schools, and other public places and forums, America is just getting into it.  And we're not taking it very well - really.   Broadway and all of New York have gone dark.  Our regularly broadcasted shows - Saturday Night Live, Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert, as well as Lakewood Church with Joel and Victoria Osteen, have had to go without audiences or congregations to prevent contamination. 
New York City is so dark and isolated, it's absolutely frightening.
Most of the live streaming shows are geared to those of us who have had to remain home in order to not contract the virus. 
While we're definitely interested in being well and surviving this pandemic, we're not very good at social distancing over prolonged periods of time.  There have been rumored threats that the "predator in chief" plans to call out the militia to enforce curfews for a pandemic he said didn't even exist.  There have been threats to close down polls so that primary elections will be curtailed, rather than allowing voters to vote online - truly dangerous in light of who would be calling those shots. 
And, with no accurate means of testing available to the broad population, and no real way of recognizing the symptoms, we are following the overflow of information and misinformation about Corona Virus, it's causes and preventions with no real proven way of keeping it from invading and infecting our homes and environment.
And, while we do appreciate the precautions that have been leveled at we who are senior citizens, we really don't want to be stigmatized as prime targets for death because of our age.  Most of us were raised to wash our hands for more than 20 seconds with soap and warm water after using the toilet and other tasks, and, thanks to our upbringing, know to wash up after ourselves- and have been doing so all our lives.  Unlike many of our younger brothers and sisters whose parents apparently missed passing on those lessons. 
 I'm reposting this from an original piece that was shared on FACEBOOK by  sister/friend Dianne Washington.  It makes so much sense in light of the needy vs greedy government we currently find occupying DC.   Make sure you share it with others:
"What I have been saying the whole time.
COVID-19 is showing you the facts that American capitalism has lied about. It’s showing how many of you support socialism when it’s convenient for you or the people you care for...
Children could’ve gotten laptops & free wifi this whole time.
Wifi could’ve been a utility this whole time.
Stores could’ve been allowing seniors to shop for one hour assisted.
Stores could’ve closed earlier to give stockers & cleaners proper time to stock & recover this whole time.
College students could have a frozen interest rate on student loans this whole time.
Pregnant women, disabled people & single parents could’ve worked from home this whole time.
Abandoned federal buildings could’ve been used for homeless people.
Students could learn from home instead of being suspended for a lack of transportation to school this whole time.
Bill payment could’ve been furloughed this whole time.
Evictions for hard times could’ve been delayed this whole time.
Co-Pays & other out-of-pocket health provider fees could have been waived.
Not turning someone's electricity or water off in desperate times so they can survive could’ve happened this whole time.
Airfare could’ve been cheaper this whole time.
Sick people could have been encouraged to take time off & given paid time off to care for themselves.
The bottom line is...
Humanity could’ve been humane this whole time."  - Dianne Washington - FB

CLEVELAND, OH Takes on Coronavirus


In an earlier news broadcast, it was learned that Africa is finally taking a stand and blocking  landing rights to any planes from any of the effected nations; and simultaneously sending those who are affected back to their countries - in much the same way when the over touted Ebola outbreak occurred on the Continent. 


Dear Africa.com Community: 

Africa has stunned the world by not taking a leading role in the headlines about the global crisis we are now facing with the Coronavirus pandemic.  There are numerous theories as to why this is so, ranging from Africa’s experience with epidemics, which has better prepared its countries to isolate victims of highly contagious diseases, to speculation about the disease’s ability to survive warm weather, to the disease has simply not arrived in large numbers, yet.
I was traveling in Africa during February at the time that the Coronavirus was making its way from Wuhan, China to the rest of the world.  When I landed in Mauritius, I had to fill out a detailed public health survey while still on the plane, and before I could go through passport control, nurses wearing masks took every passenger’s temperature with a laser infrared temperature gun.  Any passenger with a fever was pulled aside, and taken into quarantine. When I landed in South Africa a week later, government staff greeted all arriving passengers with a similar laser infrared temperature gun, as well as thermal cameras that detect elevated body temperature on a large display screen. Passengers with fevers were taken aside and screened further.  When I returned home to the United States several days later, there was no screening whatsoever, and anyone with a fever could waltz right into the country.
We should give Africa credit for the excellent job its ministries of health, and the Africa Centres for Disease Control, have been delivering when it comes to highly communicable diseases.

In this special edition newsletter, we bring you many important stories from varying viewpoints including the following:

We will keep you updated on the impact of the virus on Africa in the coming days and weeks.
As always, we value your feedback.
Kind regards,

New York Governor Cuomo, and Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf have both issued curfews, and closing of non essential businesses throughout the city.  However, the question is what constitutes "non-essential businesses?   Cuomo wowed his constituents by declaring that New York would make its own hand sanitizer rather than be gouged by unscrupulous companies preying on people's desperation.

Having already undergone 30 days of Quarantine, Japanese children and workers will return to work and classrooms beginning Monday, March 23.  China also announced that Japan has developed an inoculation against Covid19 that they have found to be quite effective in arresting the pandemic.  

What's true and what isn't still remains to be seen - what we do know is that we can work through and survive anything if we stay in faith, work together, cooperate and not allow ourselves to be forced into panic, animosities, and selfishness - we have to realize that we are in the same boat - that this is a temporary situation - and not allow ourselves to be manipulated into doomsday thinking or behavior.

My prayers are with us all - GOD has us in the palm of His Hands -

EBOLA: Some think it a conspiracy of the US against Africa - Really???

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

I find it interesting that there are those who think the Ebola outbreak, and the efforts to curb and cure it, are an American plot to control Africa.  I received this from a friend, and just wonder how far we take our mistrust when it comes to the health and well being of our loved ones - our people?  

This is her commentary on the article below, and my response to that commentary follows.  While I'm not sharing her name, because she is a friend of mine, I am sharing her statement:
"You are always on it Nana! This is another fake ploy to round people up and you know who it's going to be -- US!  I will NOT take an ebola vaccine. Folks think this is a joke, but these devils are serious and Obama is enabling it. He re-upped the Patriot Act 1 & 2 twice since he's been in office so don 't be fooled.  Y'all better get a copy and read it. It's online. Everything is not what it seems and everyone who looks like us ain't one of us. People better be very aware and don't fall for the okey doke because we have a "Black-looking" president.  The Orisa warns about this stuff in the reading of the year and beyond. KEEP YA EYES OPEN! read below"
In addition to finding the characterization of President Obama extremely offensive, I am taking this opportunity to say to my African and African American brothers and sisters, that in the past, whether here in the US, in Africa, in other parts of the world, when life threatening diseases have broken out, for whatever reason, from whatever source, the President has to take broad and sweeping measures to protect US citizens.  Likewise, the medical community has the responsibility of not only curing the people who have been infected with it (if there is a cure), but protecting the rest of the people from being affected by it.   Reading anything else into it, especially pertaining to President Obama, is a special form of paranoia that needs to be examined. 

The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act,  gives governors broad powers to protect their citizens.  It's also called  QUARANTINE.  That means if it broke out in your block, in your house, you cannot leave your house or your block and spread it to other people.  That means you are on lockdown. And the government has the right and the power to impose this on you and your family until and unless it is proven that you are not a CARRIER of the disease.  It does not make the governor a dictator; it expands what he/she can do to prevent the spread of deadly diseases.  And it's not new.  It started with TYPHOID MARY, who it turned out, was a carrier of Typhoid Fever, which killed thousands of New Yorkers - even though she herself never became ill with it.  She cooked for a family, was infected with the virus, the whole family was wiped out.  It took serious investigation before they were able to isolate it to this lady.    In the interim, she was traveling on public transportation, eating in restaurants, etc., unaware that she was infecting people.

It's also what happened (until the found a cure) with measles, mumps, diptheria, chickenpox, small pox, etc.    You isolate the people who are infected until they are cured.  You make sure they do not contaminate others.  This is not a governmental conspiracy - it's the government acting responsibly to ensure that it does not wipe out whole populations.  

That said, the following article, to which my friend refers in her statement, is a sad statement of the serious problems health organizations face as they try to assist in stemming the spread of this epidemic through Africa, and simultaneously prevent its entre into the US.  When it comes to my health and well being, I will err on the side of the government.  As far as vaccines go, they are the reason why so many of the diseases no longer exist in the US.  Had scientists and the medical industry not been diligently researching and looking for a cure, we'd still be plagued with many of these diseases.  So when someone refuses to be innoculated, it's as though they're setting up their own deathwish.  So be it, as long as they're not spreading anything to me or mine.  Simultaneously, I pray that the vaccine to cure those who are afflicted, and prevents those who are still healthy from getting it, proves to be efficacious.   I find articles like this below to be unhelpful, and, well, ignorant.  

As I said, I am praying  for my brothers and sisters in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and any other places where this vile disease may be.

Stay Blessed &

EBOLA OUTBREAK - Is it a FALSE FLAG ATTACK?


A Liberian health official says the Ebola outbreak is now above the control of its government.

“Our government has declared this now as a humanitarian crisis that is above the control of the national government,” Tolbert Nyenswah, Liberia’s assistant minister of health, told CBS News.

More than 700 people have died in four western African nations during the largest Ebola outbreak ever, with over 320 known cases in Liberia alone. One American died while contracting the virus in Liberia. Two other American medical missionary workers also contracted Ebola.

Model State Emergency Health Powers Act "could turn governors into dictators" Federal health authorities could exercise authoritarian powers to control an Ebola outbreak if the deadly disease hits the United States under the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, legislation passed in the wake of 9/11 which attracted controversy at the time for its draconian scope.
With the Ebola outbreak in West Africa having been declared the worst in history by the World Health Organization, concerns are mounting that the disease could spread via international air travel. Asked whether the virus could arrive in the United States, CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta said, “It’s going to happen at some point.”

The Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, drafted during the 2001 anthrax attacks, has since been adopted in whole or in part by 33 states. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons warned that the legislation “could turn governors into dictators,” while constitutional lawyer Phyllis Schlafly labeled it “an unprecedented assault on the constitutional rights of the American people.”
Truth Raider Warns of Ebola False Flag .The federal government already has the authority to round people up against their will. Ebola Vaccines: Poor Market Potential and Lack of Subjects for Clinical Trials Holding Up Testing The most promising one is stuck in safety testing for the simple reason there is no money for a vaccine that has no market. Most big pharmaceuticals do not like to sink assets into developing any drug with low potential. That leaves the playing ground largely to the government and small, niche companies.

Western governments are now issuing alerts to doctors to be on the lookout for symptoms of the disease after an infected Liberian man was found to have traveled through a major transport hub in Nigeria. The World Health Organization has called the outbreak the worst on record, while Doctors Without Borders says the situation is “out of control.”

Back in April, the Department of Defense announced that it had deployed biological diagnostic systems to National Guard support teams across the U.S. in readiness for any potential Ebola outbreak.
An NHS doctor has urged the world to wake up to the growing threat of Ebola after risking his life working 24-hour hospital shifts trying to save pregnant women struck down by the disease.

If the worst Ebola outbreak in recorded history reaches the United States, federal law permits “the apprehension and examination of any individual reasonably believed to be infected with a communicable disease”. These individuals can be “detained for such time and in such manner as may be reasonably necessary”. In other words, the federal government already has the authority to round people up against their will, take them to detention facilities and hold them there for as long as they feel it is “reasonably necessary”. In addition, as you will read about below, the federal government has the authority “to separate and restrict the movement of well persons who may have been exposed to a communicable disease to see if they become ill”. If you want to look at these laws in the broadest sense, they pretty much give the federal government the power to do almost anything that they want with us in the event of a major pandemic. Of course such a scenario probably would not be called “marital law”, but it would probably feel a lot like it.

There are doctors, nurses and volunteers who are trying to fight this scourge that appears to be spreading in parts of Africa - we cannot naively allow ourselves to be persuaded that this is some kind of government attempt to contain people.  When people's lives are at stake, we need to be doing all that we can to help - physically, medically, materially, spiritually.

God protect the people from any further contamination or death from the ebola virus, or any other diseases - Amen!
