MARTIAL LAW? National Guard Deployed Throughout Country Due to Coronavirus Outbreak

America is on lock down.

By Shane Trejo – 3/18/2020

The National Guard has announced that there are over 1,500 guardsman who have been deployed in 22 states across the country due to the coronavirus outbreak that is causing mass hysteria.

In the state of New York, guardsman “have been working with state and local officials to distribute food, disinfect public spaces and help run mobile screening facilities.”

“The community is extremely happy that we’re out here,” said Army Sgt. Corey Smith, with the New York Army Guard’s 1156th Engineer Company, in a press release. “They’ve been sharing stories with us about how tough it’s been for them getting food at the grocery store.”

“We’re all very happy to be here,” he added. “We’re just here to help out, hand out food and make sure everybody feels comfortable and safe.”

The National Guard is touting its reaction as proof that they are serving the American people, but skeptics are worried that the additional troop presence in the U.S. streets creeps the vulnerable nation ever closer to martial law.

Those fears have compounded by self-serving liberal bureaucrats using the crisis as a means to push Draconian public policy that they have supported for many years.

Big League Politics has reported on local bureaucrats using coronavirus panic to usurp the power to strip firearms:

New Orleans is the latest American city to declare a state of emergency that gives the mayor to suspend gun sales at her discretion.

Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s declaration of a state of emergency gives her office the power “if necessary, to suspend or limit the sale of alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives, and combustibles.” The order was drafted last week.

Cantrell also now has the authority to suspend the distribution and sale of alcoholic beverages.

The order is ironic, considering New Orleans’ troubled history with emergency gun confiscation. City police enacted gun confiscation operations targeting law-abiding everyday citizens in the aftermath of 2005’s Hurricane Katrina, fueling into panic and blunting the effectiveness of hurricane response.

On March 17, 2020, a Sacramento County judge authorized the Sheriff’s Office to release prisoners who have 30 days or less left in their sentences.

Abbie VanSickle, a staff writer at The Marshall Project, tweeted, “BREAKING: Sacramento County judge authorizes the Sheriff’s Office to release jail inmates with 30 days or less remaining in their sentences. Ordered signed today and in effect until May 30. Includes misdemeanors and felonies. @MarshallProj”

… According to the LA Times, the Los Angeles County Sheriff has already started releasing inmates in an attempt to stop the Wuhan virus from spreading. The department is also reducing the number of people they plan on taking into custody.

If Sacramento County fully follows through with this, people hope the prisoners have somewhere to stay at.

“I think if they have homes that should definitely be a factor. I think if they don’t have homes than where would they go?“ said Jessica Jarrety.

The radical Left is fully taking advantage of this crisis to unleash their radical, anarcho-tyrannical experiments on the rest of the populace.

The liberal response to coronavirus may turn out to be even more harmful to public safety than the pandemic itself, with martial law looking like a real possibility.

‘You see a lot of suffering, but can do very little’: Italian nurse bursts into tears describing Covid-19 struggle

The battle against the coronavirus is tough on medical staffs, not only physically but emotionally as well, as they witness so much suffering, an Italian nurse told RT’s Ruptly video agency.

The number of those infected keeps rising, which only increases pressure on the health workers, Francesca Rovati of Guglielmo Da Saliceto Hospital in Piacenza, the city at the heart of Italy’s Covid-19 outbreak, said.

Rovati said she almost went deaf from the sound made by the oxygen cylinders for patients suffering from respiratory failure due to the disease. And there’s not enough of this equipment for everybody who needs oxygen therapy. “The wait for a bed is at times longer than expected,” she told Ruptly.

But treating coronavirus patients isn’t only about dealing with respiratory failure – it’s “also not easy to deal with the patient from an emotional point of view,” she said.

The worst thing is that you see a lot of suffering. Many people who are sick, many people who are alone. And you can do very little.

The nurse, who has worked at the hospital for 13 years, couldn’t hold back the tears while recounting the situation at the hospital. “Before being health workers, we are also daughters, we are mothers, parents. The human side is there, it is felt, it’s strong.”

Apart from that, staff members are also under constant risk of becoming infected themselves, Rovati said. “We are living a very stressful time because we live day by day… We don’t go beyond knowing what shift we have tomorrow. This is because even among us someone might result positive [to Covid-19] or not feel well.”

She called on everyone, especially young people, to stop underestimating the danger of the coronavirus. Elderly people are at a higher risk, of course, but Covid-19 doesn’t have a “fixed age,” and there are “many” middle-aged as well.

Italy’s coronavirus death toll soars past 2,500 after week in full lockdown

Despite the tireless efforts of medical professionals, Italy remains the worst hit by the coronavirus in Europe. Another 345 people died of the disease in the country on Tuesday – 26 of them in Piacenza. The overall death toll in Italy has surpassed 2,500, with over 31,500 infected.

Migrants at Refugee Camp in Germany Riot, Display ISIS Flags After They’re Put Under Coronavirus Quarantine

Threaten to burn down the facility.

 

 

Migrants housed at a refugee camp in Germany began rioting, displayed the ISIS flag and subsequently tried to escape after they were put under a coronavirus quarantine.

After a migrant tested positive for coronavirus at the facility in Suhl, Thuringia, a quarantine was ordered for the other 533 residents and the camp was sealed off.

“But the measure, which in times of Corona seems not at all unusual, apparently drove the asylum seekers to a fury,” reports Compact Online. “Some of them started rioting and prevented inmates from entering the dining hall in order to force a hunger strike. They are said to have tried to leave the facility through the sewers to get to the nearby town.”

According to police spokesman Wolfgang Nicola, the migrants then gathered at the front gate and began threatening to burn down the facility while displaying ISIS flags.

Why they even have possession of ISIS flags in the first place is shocking.

50 police officers were dispatched to the scene to quell the riots. The same migrant camp was also the scene of riots back in 2015 in response to a man tearing pages out of the Koran.

“The danger that Corona will also break out in other shelters is omnipresent, a further restriction of public life is to be expected,” states the report. “It is hard to imagine that the capacities of the security forces and medical staff are sufficient to keep at bay angry illegal immigrants who do not want to comply with the protective measures against the spread of COVID-19.”

“If the Wuhan virus leads to major social unrest in Germany, the country’s multitudinous “refugees” are likely to play a major role,” warns Dave Blount.

As we highlighted yesterday, migrants in Naples, Italy are completely ignoring the quarantine order to stay indoors and are roaming around the streets.

New Orleans Police Order Crowds To Disperse, Go Home In Order To Prevent Coronavirus Spread

Police ordered the crowd to go home.

By

Footage emerged Sunday night of New Orleans police ordering the public to disperse from a crowded street, instructing them to go home in order to prevent spread of the Chinese coronavirus.

The footage is a dire reminder of the disease’s seriousness. The police had arrived to bust up a large gathering of people celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day on Magazine Street, despite a prohibition on large gatherings by the city.

The police announced that large gatherings of people were prohibited in New Orleans by the city’s mayor, over megaphones to crowds that appeared to have surfaced to engage in merriment as if everything were normal.

WATCH: New Orleans Police Order Crowds To Disperse, Go Home In Order To Prevent Coronavirus Spread

“Large groups of people are prohibited from congregating together. Your actions are jeopardizing public health, and we are directing you to clear the streets, and to go home or back to your hotel.”

New Orleans doesn’t appear to be the only major American city struggling to prevent people from engaging in coordinated group events in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. New York’s bars and clubs are purported to be full and active, despite an even more serious presence of the disease in the city.

Ohio and Illinois even have gone so far as to order the closing of all restaurants in the states, a relatively unprecedented disruption to everyday American life.

However, things could be worse. If the American public fails to practice social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus, the nation could soon find itself in a situation akin to that of Italy- where police have taken the even more haunting move of ordering citizens already inside to remain in their homes from megaphones on police cruisers.

House Coronavirus Response Bill Hits Snag – Pelosi STILL Working on Corrections with Steve Mnuchin

by Cristina Laila March 16, 2020

The House of Representatives passed a Coronavirus response bill on Saturday, however the drama continued into Monday because the House Democrats cannot come to an agreement with the White House over what needs to be changed.

Pelosi is still working out the “major differences” with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.

Last week it was reported that Pelosi tried to sneak in federal funding for abortion into the Coronavirus response bill.

Now it’s being reported that the House met twice on Monday morning and gaveled in and gaveled out and have NOT approved the changes to the bill.

This is a huge problem because the House cannot send the bill to the Senate until they approve of the technical changes.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R–TX) insists on reading the changes (rightfully so) to the bill because as Pelosi has shown, she will sneak in funding for Democrat-backed causes.

Politico reported:

Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin were still working on the details Monday.

House sources said Monday that “major differences” remained between the White House and House Democrats over what was adopted and needed to be changed. This is slowing down the time table for House completion of the bill and sending it onto the Senate.

Pelosi and administration officials still remain hopeful they can achieve a workable compromise, but were tight lipped about the state of play on Monday.

The House passed its emergency package early Saturday morning but needs to make some technical corrections. Adding to the uncertainty on timing, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) is threatening to hold up the bill until he reviews the corrections.

Gohmert insists that he is not holding up the bill. There are 87 pages of changes to the language that he insists on reading and most Senators aren’t back in DC yet.

“Someone should at least read” the bill a source told Fox News.

Never forget that Nancy Pelosi held up a vote on Coronavirus a few weeks ago so that Democrats could run ads against Republicans on Super Tuesday.

CORONAVIRUS – Canadian Students Gather at St. Patrick’s Day Party, Laugh About Spreading Coronavirus

Ignored police warnings not to congregate.

 

Students in Kingston, Ontario ignored warnings about gathering in large groups and attended a St. Patrick’s Day party while laughing at the prospect of spreading the coronavirus.

Dismissing an advisory by police not to congregate, the students appeared to be more fixated on getting drunk than anything else.

“Last week, Kingston Police, Public Health and Queen’s University urged students not to attend St. Patricks Day parties. Today, the university district streets are filled with students- many telling me they aren’t afraid of COVID-19,” tweeted Kraig Krause.

One video features a young man acknowledging that such parties will help spread COVID-19.

“I’m not worried. I know it will. It’s not a question. It will definitely spread the disease because it will definitely spread the disease,” he said.

The man then burst out in laughter before adding, ” You know, do what you can. If you’re sick, then don’t go. If you’re worried about it, then don’t go. If you do attend these, be in isolation after the fact. You can do your part for the community.”

Another clip shows a young woman claiming, “I have a compromised immune system, but I’m still only 21 … I’m not even worried because I take supplements and I self medicate.”

Reportedly, Kingston Police responded to the gathering by ordering students to get off the streets.

Leftists Ecstatic That Trump Could Have Coronavirus

‘Fingers crossed’ and ‘prayer’ memes as fanatics hope Trump and Pence will die so Pelosi will become President

 

Steve Watson

Leftists reacted with glee upon hearing the news that President Trump, as well as VP Pence, came into contact with a foreign official who has since tested positive for Covid19, the coronavirus.

Both the President and Vice President met with Brazilian government official Fabio Wajngarten last week.

CAP

Wajngarten, the press secretary for Brazilian Presdident Jair Bolsonaro, has since tested positive for coronavirus. Trump has said he is not concerned about the meeting.

However, many leftists expressed joy that the President could have been exposed to the virus, with several using ‘fingers crossed’ memes, clearly hoping that Trump becomes ill and dies.

Meanwhile, a conspiracy theory is now doing the rounds that an ‘anonymous White House source’ has said Trump is freaking out that he might have the virus, or that someone will intentionally try to give it to him, but refuses to get tested:
