The covid-19 virus, while incredibly tiny, continues to confound researchers with the myriad ways in which it can wreak havoc in the human body.

The latest surprise is that the virus may have a completely second pathway, separate from targeting ACE2 receptors, for attack.

New research indicates that, similar to HIV, covid-19 compromises the immune system’s T-cells and “turns off” their protective function, allowing the virus to replicate without interference.

Chris predicts that more national lockdowns — as we’ve seen so far in China, and now Italy, Spain, and a fast-increasing number of other countries — are likely to be announced soon.

These will be mandatory quarantines enforced by the police/military.

Looking at Ben Hunt’s “case, case, case, cluster, cluster…BOOM!” progression for covid-19, more and more countries are now entering the late cluster stage.

That means, expect Italy, Iran, South Korea, Japan, Spain, France, Germany, the US and a number of others to enter the “BOOM!” phase shortly.

That’s when hospitals become hopelessly overwhelmed, deaths begin skyrocketing, and government mass lockdowns get enacted.

We’re not saying this to scare you. We just want you emotionally prepared for what’s likely coming.

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”.

While the coronavirus continues its global exponential spread, we’re starting to see some positive news begin to trickle in.

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.

As worldwide coronavirus cases blow past 100,000 people, the question on everyone’s mind is: “How do I avoid getting infected?”

The situation with the coronavirus is quickly going from bad to worse.

Hundreds of cases breaking out across the world, dozens of new deaths.

And, of course, these are just the official numbers. Many countries have inadequate/non-existent testing procedures, so the true numbers may be quite a bit higher.
